I don’t know if you guys are still checking this blog, or still looking for the answer , but the name of the toyline is “Rocks and Bugs and Things” This nearly drove me insane but I managed to finally get the name after scouring the web. Hope I helped.

I had a green one that looked kindof like a Tyrannosaurus Rex. There was a black one too, and I think it was more of a monster-devil(maybe) face. I remember, because my mom wouldn’t let us get that one. I’m glad there are two other people besides me who remember this thing.

Excellent! Not exactly funny, but it was fascinating. Surprised there’s no NES adds, though!

Because I grew up in the country, before a time where crazed paedophillic madmen lurked around behind every bush, a lot of my friends had tunnels of fun and used them as backyard tents. I wanted a tunnel of fun. I craved a tunnel of fun. I NEEDED a tunnel of fun. In hindsight, I’m lucky I didn’t end up in some reparative therapy prototype being exorcised of my homoerotic girl-loving demons based on that alone.

Also? I love the wood master deluxe wood table and four chairs. I mean, really, it’s a cool thing to have when you’re a kid. But are you really gonna be sitting around playing poker for bits ‘n’ bites with all the other kids just hoping that someone says "Jeez, Sarah — the natural finish on this table is just *gorgeous*!"

I can't be sure, but it sounds like the second coming of the Ruxpin might actually be Rupert the Bear, a pretentious English bear that did...stuff. I don't know anymore than that. ANd I really can't be bothered to even care.

I really wish I had paid more attention as a kid. I was pretty much all about the Star Wars, G.I.Joes and Transformers, and never really got any of the other stuff. I hope they bring back Inhumanoids and Centurions, because I probably would have loved them then, and now I don't have to rely on my parents. Just my wife.
