Geah! well, at least I'm not alone with this, lets see...
First action figure I remember was the Evil Knievel stunt cycle and I have some vague memories of his sky cycle as well. But I loooooved my Bionic Man doll, he had rubber skin you could peel off to see his electronics and a creepy eye that let you see things far away by peering through a hole in the back of his head. And he had a car engine he could curl with his bionic arm button action.
I had a Stretch Armstrong which didn't last long enough to enjoy him thanks to the dog but I also got Pulsar, who had a transparent chest with a button on his back that if you pressed it made his heart pump and moved the blood through his rudimentary circulatory system. He also had a face that flipped up so you could see his brain and insert "program disks" into. Creeped my parents out big time.
But my super favorites was the Micronauts, I had Biotron and Time Traveler. I fiended for that toy line and later got a green Acroyear that was put through the ringer as I took it everywhere with me.
I got a massive Star Wars Christmas in '77 with a full run of the figures and the Death Star playset and after that it was pretty much Star Wars until I saw the ARAH figures for G.I. Joe. I picked up Snake Eyes and couldn't figure out why I should be paying nearly $3 of my money for the Star Wars line when the most action you could get from them made it look like they should be goose stepping to some Nazi hate rally. (and they say kids don't care about articulation)
First Transformers was the Ravage and Rumble tape packs and that started a collecting trend with one of my friends (still is actually) and was my first quandary in collecting; Joe or TF?
Evil was my first and I guess it's all his fault for making me collect action figures now. I'm not responsible, It's all Evil's doing!
