Enjoy this complete scan of the 1988 Kenner Action Guide featuring their best toys of the year like The Real Ghostbusters, Bone Age, Silverhawks, Starting Line Up, and MASK!
Mickey was born in the '70s, grew up in the '80s, and came of age in the '90s. He is the co-founder of TheRetroNetwork.com, runs ComicBookAdArchive.com, and is the host here at Retro Ramblings, a blog filled with nostalgia. When not writing about old stuff, he's out fighting for truth, justice, and the American way. He also makes damn good chili.
I think the only toys I had featured in this guide were Egon and Winston. I didn’t even have any bad guys for them to chase. It was kind of a waste of my allowance now that I think back on it.
I wanted that Proton Pack so bad when I was a kid. Only Real GB toy I wound up having was the original Ray, though.
Sky Commanders! I think Toy Galaxy just did a video on them.
I had no Silverhawks, but I had a friend who did, and they were pretty awesome.
I had a few MASK toys, but none of the ones shown here.
I’ve seen some of the Fossilizers from the new Transformers: War for Cybertron – Kingdom line be compared to Bone Age.
Cool stuff all around.
