Episode 127: Muscle Mutts
Remember those amazing Street Sharks, and then the Extreme Dinosaurs, we these aren’t those, but they were supposed to be a cross-compatible line from Street Wise Designs and Street Players. A small but mighty line that peaks our interests.

Episode 122: Parasites
Evil creatures from the tail of Halley's Comet? That's exactly what Matchbox developed in the mid 80's to jump on the rare occurrence and created a small line of cars/parasite mix of toy that seem kinda creepy.

Episode 119: Pirates of the Galaxseas
Another line from the minds of Remco, we have the Pirates of the Galaxseas. A small line that was meant for playing with the Lost World of the Warlord or Warrior Beasts lines. An interesting line that had a specific look of skeletons.

Episode 118: Baby Face Dolls
From the minds that brought us Micro Machines, we got a baby doll line in the early 90's. Influenced by Kewpies and Betty Boop, these dolls are more for adults than kids, but who knew that in the 90's?
