I really need some help trying to figure out a toy memory from my childhood in the 80s and early 90s that I haven’t been able to place yet.

I recall either in a comic book or magazine an ad for an action figure that you could custom order. I remember them being military themed. You could specify the figure’s specialty, weapons, etc. I think it was basically an order form that you would fill out and they would send you the figure based on the options selected. I never actually ordered one but remember sitting there for what seemed like hours thinking how I would make it.

Does anyone else remember this? Would love to see a picture of the order form and the name of the company so I could track one down.

That’s got to be it! WOW! Thank you!!

Looks like the figurines are all the same but just the data sheet comes customized?

Man this was a great memory!

Does he make it or does the last kid get it good?

Hilarious. The things we do.

Who else grew up eating Roman Meal?

I agree! Where did you find them?

This brought back memories of our cooler which was always nearby for some relief from those hot, sweaty summers growing up. The white spout was permanently stained red from that ONE ill-advised time we put Kool-Aid in it. Man those days were a “barrel of fun”.

I was a roller racer kid.

I’ve been meaning to post a photo of our vintage 6.5ft ‘pom-pom’ aluminum tree that is proudly displayed in the front window every year. I bought this a few years ago from the original owner.

Merry Christmas!
