What are some toys you had but never knew the gimmicks for?I had Nak Naks but I didn't know you were supposed to stack them
>>11682975I remember having these as a child. They never worked like in the photo. At least most didn't. I remember just staring at them one day and thinking to myself, "What's the point when lego mini figures already exist." It just seemed like another 200X's gross out toy for boys.
>>11682975I had one I got from McDonald's. Thought it was ugly and dumb
>>11682975Wow, there's a toy I completely forgot existed until just now. Think I had quite a few of them from Happy Meals, including the ones in the pic, though I just used them as normal toys.Don't think I ever understood the point of Mighty Beanz despite having collected a few dozen as a kid.
Xevoz included playfields and pieces for a tabletop game, but I have never met a single person who played the game or even read the ruleset. Similarly, Kre-O Dungeons & Dragons sets included playing cards for (again) some kind of tabletop game that nobody ever played.
>>11682975I definitely remember these but I don't remember them being so ugly.
>>11682975Once owned a Man-E-Faces. He did what he did, I just had no idea what he was from then
>>11683763>XevozI did read the rules but never played it, it was trash. The gimmick was you would build the faces on an 8 sided (?) Die based on gear you put on your dude. Taking damage would knock off your gear, and you'd have to remove that side of the "Die". But there was no "deck building" you just slammed on the strongest pieces you owned. Every character came with like 1 strong side and 7 weak ones, so you can see how that was intended to work.
>>11683763Bonkle Glatorian also had a game tacked on it, and a counter on their backs. Bonkle never once ever filled the Xevoz void for me
>>11683763Medabots toys had hexagonal dice for some kind of game but I just played with them like regular toys.
>>11685500Did you actually play the Xevoz game?
>>11690280No. what was the point?
There was some shitty toys to life pokemon game in the mid 2000s that nobody except me remembers. I have no idea what the fuck the game was even supposed to be I just thought the figures were really cool so I just played with them by themselves.
MotU being capture the flag game.
>>11683137I had a bunch too but I knew from the commercials that they wanted you to buy the track sets so they can roll around in and the early marketing was that you were supposed to "battle" with them in some way.i think later on they just made them a collectible
>>11690768Ironically those figures are some of the best Pokemon have ever done. I still have the ones from a set I bought as a kid but I never bothered to track down more of them.
>>11691973Rare blue Brendan
>>11690770Wait what?
>>11694115The original gimmick was that Skeletor and He-Man would have half of the Power Sword and the full sword would be a key to open Castle Grayskull There was a flag to indicate which one had claim on the Castle itself
>>11690768>>11691973I had both of these two, though this red version of the battle trainer game from Target. Also got a Charizard for it from somewhere, though not sure where. I think I played it, but lost interest quickly like most of the electronic pet games that had to compete with consoles and handhelds.
