What were the toys like? Were they girly? Would it be weird for a guy to play w/ them?

What do you reckon?

I had several of them when I was a boy.

Thanks

I wanted to know if it was girly for a guy to play with one. Is it girly for a guy to play with Cheetarah?

"I wanted to know if it was girly for a guy to play with one."

There were action figures for pretty much every hit cartoon in the 80s, aimed at boys, so no, it's not "girly" for boys to play with them.

"Is it girly for a guy to play with Cheetara?"

I never thought so - just because she's female, it doesn't make her any less of a character than Lion-O, Tygra and Panthro, so if you can respect that, then it doesn't matter.

I do understand that female action figures tended not to sell as well as male ones, which is why there weren't figures of Galadria and Virulina from Visionaries, likewise no Tula from Pirates Of Dark Water. Cheetara must have been an execption. Maybe her toy didn't sell so well because she's female, and it set a precedent, I honestly don't know.

I still have Slithe and Mumm-Ra the Everliving. My neighbor used to have all of them though, wish I collected them all. I thought they would be around forever.

Try not to take life too seriously, no one gets out alive.
