The Most Dangerous Action Figure of the 1980s!

The Most Dangerous Action Figure of the 1980s: We Had That! In this video, I go over the secrets of this amazing and mysterious vintage action figure from 1981! Created by Mego for their 1981 Love Boat Line, the character of Isaac had a much deeper role than some people realize!

    I about lost it when I saw Isaac creeping thru the bush with my 2 favorite adventure people!

    Fantastic! I could easily imagine that actually happening in the G.I. Joe cartoon. Thanks for the laugh!

    I absolutely loved that you used those plastic swords from drinks in this video. I did the same thing as a child.

    If I recall correctly, didn't Issac help Rick Hunter defeat the Zentradi on several occasions? I hear he was the shoulder to cry on for Minmay after Rick chose Lisa.

    I didn't even know they made Love Boat action figures back then. I had Mork from Ork. LOL. He was a favorite of mine. He even came with his Egg Spaceship. Though it is nice to see how you used your Issac figure when you were a kid.

    had 3 of the 3 3/4 ones in this video. I got all kinds of Star Wars sized figures in the 1970s and 1980s. The Butch and Sundance and Lone Ranger lies were reallly cool, Sundance has a quick draw feature and I still have the old figure minus his legs but he can still quick draw@

    These guys were slightly bigger than the 3 3/4 figures but Crystar Moltar and D&D Warduke were used with my figures back in the day. Again nice job with the pics!

    On the subject of using cocktail sticks as swords, my parents had one of those 1960s sets of 6 metal cocktail sticks in the shape of swords that came in a circular holder or rack. They were the perfect scale to go with the Matchbox Fighting Furies figures and could also make any Mego 8" figure a little more dashing! We couldn't get a Mego Star Trek Sulu figure in the UK, I don't know if they made one at all, but one of the metal swords was a fencing foil and would have made the perfect addition to a shirtless Sulu figure! Hell, give the Klingon the saber cocktail sword and you've got a violent duel right there! 😂

    All joking aside, I always enjoyed using various action figures beyond their intended purposes. Like, Death Star Droid was a pretty major villain in my Star Wars play.

    Love Boat Issac and The Shining were my first ideas in my child mind as to how cool bartenders were. I eagerly awaited becoming an adult so I could order drinks from a bartender.

    Tonka had a great line called Steel Mashers in the mid 80's. It was a blatant rip off of The Road Warrior, with awesome metal post apocalyptic vehicles. One of the figures even looks just like Lord Humongous, which Is the one I had as a kid.

    The only Luke Skywalker I ever owned as a kid was the Hoth one, which BARELY qualifies as a Luke, so Duke was my go to stand in while playing Star Wars, and you'd better believe MANY of those neon toothpick swords were used as lightsabers BAY BEE!! Nice to see I wasn't alone on that.
