Micro Machines

Galoob's infamous Micro Machines line started out in 1987 and had toys come out as late as 2007. It featured tiny vehicles and was meant to be a kids alternative to the more collectors oriented Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars. It also featured some well known licensed vehicles (and even figures), such as Star Wars, Star Trek, Terminator, Predator and more. The line is, perhaps, best remembered for its commercials featuring the fast talking John Moschitta Jr.

Boglins

Boglins were a series of hand puppets, and later mini figures. Mattel's ghoulish line was characterized by the build and control you had of the puppets. Each character came in a box that looked like it was trying to break free from. They were popular enough that Kellog's even featured them as part of their on-box advertising in 1989. The toys ran in the late 80's until about 1990. Mattel revived the line for a short time in 2000.
