If the big Secret Compartment Show takeover wasn’t enough then you can also keep a lookout for an interruption from yours truly with a message from the Toy Store Guide corporate headquarters (in reality an office with a computer and a bunch of action figures on peg hooks). I’m a real one take wonder on camera.
All that and you still get Elvira Taylor bringing us her Moment of Nostalgia… This time she talks about toy lines based on movies, mainly ones that don’t make a ton of sense. Her favorite being Waterworld. Nick lets us know that he loves both Dick Tracy and Police Academy, even though officially the Police Academy figs were actually based on the cartoon. Mine would be the line based on The Shadow movie or RoboCop, again the RoboCop line was based on the RoboCop and the Ultra Police animated series.
The real takeaway is that Kenner, Mattel, and Playmates were doing great work when it came to letting us act out our favorite movies at home.
