For me the first was definitely vintage Masters of the Universe.
More specifically, Man E Faces and Merman. I don't know why but they were the two that really impressed me in the packages.
I actually made Merman the good guy because he had the sword and Manny had the gun making him the bad guy in my eyes. He even had the Monster face so they were good counterparts until Christmas came and imploded the entire Masters' Universe on me.
That's when I realized He-man was the main protagonist with Manny on his side. Skeletor grew on me as I learned there were comics and coloring books depicting him as the evil antagonist searching for power.
Gobots were my transformers. I didn't really get around to them until they killed off Optimus in the movie. I think I liked Gobots because they fit more with my hot wheels and matchbox.
I also have fond memories of the Knight Rider booster and semi crash set, the General Lee by Ertl, and the A-team van by matchbox.
Kenner was also totally one of my childhood staples as well. I always wanted M.A.S.K. but they were never found on the shelves around me.
I swore the adults were into them too and buying those up. But who didn't have a Super Powers figure. Even some of the girls I knew had Wonder Woman at least.
This is probably going to show our age but what toys do you remember first playing with?
