Wonder what Azmi was so shocked about?

He-Man was the gayest Saturday morning cartoon ever and you know it.

The second video is just dumb, although it does appear to have Bam Margera in it if it’s of any interest to anybody.

The parents did a clean up of our very overcrowded store and decided to throw out a whole bunch of toys that my brother and I had played with as children. Not wanting to waste them if possible I sent out an open invitation to my friends to take any toys they wanted. The UsDudes responded and thus a typical lazy Sunday afternoon became the Great Toy Purging of 2007.

The line-up.

Boes relives his childhood.

The Magus looks upon his works. Despair, ye mighty. I had a ton of toys from when I was a kid but my parents (pretty rightfully, I might add) put an end to toy buying when I entered primary school. This meant I missed out on things like Ninja Turtles and their like. Curiously once I hit adolescence I had money to burn and I started buying toys again. The thing I was most into was the Polly Pocket analog for boys called Mighty Max. Mighty Max was a British created line of hand-sized playsets that ended up inspiring a very fine American made cartoon and I collected a whole bunch of them. Farhan had originally wanted to take the M.A.S.K toys I had (for whatever reason he took the figures but not the vehicles… probably because’s he’s a bitch) but ended up taking all of the Mighty Max playsets instead. They were in the best condition of the bunch so I can’t really fault him.

And so it was done. Transformers (not all that many considering my fondness of the cartoon), Starcom (the intro seems incredibly well animated for the time), Sky Commanders and a whole bunch of others thrown out. It’s hard to really feel sorry throwing out stuff you haven’t seen in years and so I can get rid of these things without too much of a heavy heart.
