Masters of the Universe jumpstarted the glorious decade that was the 1980s for kids. In 1981, the Mattel toyline debuted. By 1989 kids were playing with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles by Playmates and the new Game Boy by Nintendo, along with its home console, the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). This decade was the decade of my birth, and God blessed me with two parents that gave me a great childhood. Part of that childhood, a tremendously part was collecting the toys of the shows we watched. My niece tells me my generation was brainwashed, (lol) perhaps we were, in the same sense my parents' generation was brainwashed to believe Cadillac was THE best car to have and you are SOMEBODY with it (hint: We are GREAT with or without it). My niece is first generation SpongeBob viewer by the way. (lol)
I lost the majority of everything I collected throughout my childhood and my early 30s when I lost my storage in 2017. Whoever got that storage got a King's Ransom. It hurts to think about all I lost, my dad lost, along with whatever was in there of my late mom's. it was a LOT. Outside of my very first toy, and the second April O'Neil from the original TMNT toyline, that was al that remained physically of my childhood. Except this checklist and the comics from the MotU toys. I am finally moving forward from that and ready to receive the blessings coming my way.
In this video you will see the remains of what was a great collection. At the end of it all, WE HAVE THE POWER. Enjoy the video.
