Damn! I missed our 80's revival. Well, here's my contribs:

Shit. Could a mod or admin resize that? Honestly didn't mean to stretch the board out.

Who's the little dinosaur under Betelgeuse?

Who's the little dinosaur under Betelgeuse?

Honestly, I have no idea, but my first guess would be a character from "the Land that Time a Forgot"? Maybe? I don't know what year that movie came out, so I can't be certain. Even as an 80sphile, I'm ashamed to admit I don't recognize half the characters in that picture.

But it is grand.

Actually, looking at that picture reminds me of something I've been pissed off about pretty much my whole life -

We never saw the face of Doctor Claw in Inspector Gadget. I always wanted to know who was behind the chair.

The pain is real.

I'd say only about 1/4 are unknown to me, but there are several I forget the name of or would have to guess. For instance, the flying winged kid up front was star-somethings. The guy in front of the MASK truck door (ahead of the chipmunks) is from Visionaries. I loved that show and the toys (which featured holograms).

UPDATE: The one I was talking about was Silverhawks.

Anyway, I used my Flikr account to resize it. You can "quote" this and grab the link if you'd like or delete the below because here it is:

What I thought was funny is that they actually sold a Doctor Claw action figure, and the packaging hid the face.



Though I should mention that I'm the opposite. To my mind, we NEVER should see what Doctor Claw looks like. That's just part of the character. Part of the reason I never watched the live action Inspector Gadget movie (aside from hearing nothing but bad things about it, of course), was that I heard that you DO see Doctor Claw in it.

You just caused me to look it up. Here's what he looked like when you opened it up:

I didn't post that picture because I didn't want to spoil it for anybody that DIDN'T want to know.

Yeah, just like we shouldn't say Vader is actually Luke's father?

At any rate, the toy is probably not even considered the definitive answer to what Dr. Claw looks like.
