5 TOYS OF MY CHILDHOOD THAT ARE RIPE FOR A COME-BACK (aka "Toys I want them to bring back so I can buy a poop-ton of them once they go on clearance")

• Starriors - Gaint wind-up robots with interchangeale parts!
  
• M.A.S.K. - Vehicles that flip out and turn in to other vehicles and weapons!
  
• Captain Power & The Soldiers of The Future - Futuristic soldiers Vs. Cyborgs, and it was interactive with your TV!
  
• Micronauts - Plying more on that "Interchangeable Parts" aspect I like so much!
  
• Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Action Figures - On of the greatest untapped concepts of all time, can you imagine trying to colect them all? "All I need to complete my collection is 'Barph the 14th-level Half-Ogre Bard'!"

(this post spawned by zannah's post re: The Toys R Us commercial jingle, which has aparently not changed since 1984 or so).
