Kids these days…they have such a wide variety of toys. I think I must be getting old because 1) I say “kids these days” and 2) I’m about to say “Back in MY day…”
Judge for yourself, though. Which toy would YOU rather have as a child:
1) Modern, super detailed blabbity-blah-blah Marvel Universe Sentinel Action Figure:

OR
2) KICKASS does all sorts of cool shit, offering hours of entertainment and pure awesome, mid-90’s block of cool-as-hell plastic toy:

I owned #2, in case you were wondering. AND HE WAS AWESOME!!! OMG!!!! I still remember that a friend broke the grappling hook thing…what a dick. But the fist punch and the pop-out chest cavity still rocked my socks off. I COMPLETELY forgot about the pop-out feet, though.
A friend on Twitter posted up pics of #1 and was all drooly over it. Which I can understand. But #2!!!!!!! Lookit that lack of detail but plethora of function! Who fricken cares that he’s probably killing the environment!
Mutants: BEWARE!
I miss my packed-away Gundams and all the action figures my mom threw away when I left for college.
