… that I could never seem to remember. The line was called Snailiens. I used to love weird monster alien or mutant dudes and like putting armor, clothing, or costumes on myself or an action figure, do this appealed to me.
I kept searching stuff like "action figure named Blister" and kept getting stuff about blister packs, but thought just now to search obscure 90's action figures, and I finally found it. I remembered the little rubber thing and the little guy that comes with the bigger figure. And the ones I had were Blastar and Blister, so I was right on the name. They were part of the Lunarticks (bad guys). I always loved the bad guys.
It's so satisfying when you find a movie or toy you've been wracking your Brain about for years. Just a simple change in thinking.

That's always cool. I can't say I remember them, but I don't have many concrete memories prior to '94 or '95. I did do several searches over the years to try to remember what the hell this thing is:
Then a few years ago I stumbled across the same character on the cover of a VHS tape in a thrift store. Apparently there was an entire series:

I ate up every single one of those TMNT copycats, even if I didn't have the toys. I'd definitely watch the show and ppay the video games.
I remember that one you posted had an arcade beat em up I'd always play. I think Biker Mice from Mars had a video game too.
The knockoff I loved was Extreme Dinosaurs, from the same company that did Street Sharks.
But yeah, I may have had more from this line, but I remember Blastar and Blister in particular, and the way you keep the little guy on the big guy's back with the rubber thing you use for projectiles. I don't know what happened to thia toy. Probably got lost since it's on the smaller side. -

My family watched that. The baby reminded me of my sister lol. As a baby, she even mimicked the not the mama part. It was a good show. Sad ending.
This was Extreme Dinosaurs. They also had a cartoon. 90's was all about dinosaurs… Dinosaurs, aliens, and Native Americans.
