He died in the first episode, and still turned up with plenty to say.

that_80s_toy_guySorceress
It took Mattel five years to make her a figure. She'd been guarding Castle Grayskull the whole time.
Knockdown
A G.I. Joe called Knockdown. Not a man you'd argue with.
Hardware
A SilverHawk called Hardware. Not much mystery about what he did.
Mako
A man-shark with a head that changed. It was the 80s and everyone was half something.
ECTO-1
You know the song. You sang it pushing this across the carpet.
Ben Indasun
A raisin in sunglasses called Ben Indasun. Take your time.
Touchdown Terror
A monster's head for throwing at your brother. Super Madballs were not subtle.
Vlobb
A rubber monster you wore on your hand. Boglins were exactly that disgusting, and exactly that good.
Darkstorm
Leader of the Darkling Lords, and his magic animal was a mollusc. Scary stuff.
Arzon
A knight with an eagle hologram on his chest. His job was knowledge. Yours was losing his staff.
Zabre
Zoids had the best names in the toy aisle. Zabre proves it.
Speed King
Named by a seven-year-old, and all the better for it.
Glider Strike with Jacques LaFleur
A glider, for when M.A.S.K. didn't have enough vehicles already.
Laser Command with Matt Trakker and Miles Mayhem
Hero and villain in one box, which saved asking for two.
Lord Dread
Captain Power's toys could shoot at your telly. He's who you were aiming at.
Bengali
Turned up late to the ThunderCats with a big hammer. Nobody was going to say no.
Octillion Octopus
An octopus soldier. Even for Battle Beasts, that's a lot.
Gwildor
The little inventor from the 1987 film. The one you pretended was good.
Scare Glow
A skeleton who glowed in the dark, so he was terrible company at bedtime.
Bionatops
A bionic dinosaur with weapons on its horns. He-Man's 1987 was a strange time.
Beau Geste
A tiny ant soldier named after an old novel about the Foreign Legion. Who was this for?
Blot
Known as the most disgusting Transformer. His own team didn't want him because of the smell.
Weirdwolf with Monzo
A robot wolf whose head was a tiny man called Monzo. Nothing about that is normal.
Big Boa
Cobra's drill instructor came with boxing gloves and a punchbag. You definitely used the punchbag.
