Talon
The arcade game where dinosaurs beat each other up got its own toys. Talon was the raptor.












You remember the Turtles. You remember the Power Rangers. But somewhere in a loft there's a box of toys you haven't thought about since 1994, and you'd know them on sight. We picked 25. Did you have them?
No Furby, no Pogs. Mostly the ones that didn't make the other lists. Go through them one at a time and see how many you owned.
The arcade game where dinosaurs beat each other up got its own toys. Talon was the raptor.

Your school banned it and it died in your bag anyway. Still the best pet you ever neglected.
Arnie, but the arm is the selling point. It's right there in the name.

A talking monkey-bird who mostly thought about his next meal. Every cartoon crew needed one.
Ten inches tall, from a film nobody's mum would have let them see. The 90s toy aisle didn't ask questions.

A virus with a different mask for every mood, from the first fully computer-animated TV show.

Trolls got so big in the early 90s that they were given armour and jobs. This one's job was trapping things.

Hockey-playing alien ducks from a planet called Puckworld. Somebody pitched that in a meeting and won.


A man and a dog got caught in toxic waste at a rubbish dump. The result came with a dog-food can for a gun.


Voiced by Ernest Borgnine, in a film about army toys trying to wipe out a neighbourhood.
Even the Street Sharks needed a whale on their side. Nobody asked why.

These came in a little bag you dissolved in water, so you never knew who you'd got until bath time.

A wrestler whose whole act was being a prison officer. The WWF really did just try things.
Looked like a monster on the shelf, then hinged open into a tiny horror world. From the people who made Polly Pocket.


A tiny rubbery Freak called Boik. That was the whole pitch, and your pocket money went on it.

A monster spider in a Spider-Man line. Nobody stopped to ask whose side it was on.
The Power Rangers spin-off where an alien prince moved in with an American family. He brought a furry sidekick called Ferbus.

Arnie as a film hero who finds out he's in a film. It opened a week after Jurassic Park, which went how you'd expect.
From the 1998 film where Godzilla laid eggs in Madison Square Garden. The babies got toys too.

Disney went moody with Gargoyles: stone by day, busy by night, and a bit too good for a kids' cartoon.

A bounty-hunting crow in a spacesuit and a villain made of snot, sold together. From the game about a worm in a super suit.
Bandai's virtual pet with a fight in it: plug two together and yours battled your mate's. The cartoon came later.

Captain Planet's filthy evil twin. Even the show about saving the planet knew you'd want the baddie.
