Pretty dull, I know but I'll throw in a cap firing tommy gun that hides nicely in his cello case. He was dressed like a swinger with a swing out chest panel that held two swing down machine guns. He was obviously the T-1000 and Terminator Arnold was played by none other then Commando Arnold in all this pantless glory (kind of hard to work that into every scenario).īuttons McBoom Boom rocked. He also played a major role in reenacting Terminator 2 (if you remember the toys came out quite some time later and sucked the sweat of my ballz BEEotch). A cool gun and nightstick, an air skiff, and a dangerously metal bomb that attached to the bottom of the craft and "popped a cap" ( word!) when it was flicked off. I was amazed by how many accessories Highway came with. Highway, Button McBoom Boom, Check Point and Powder Keg stand out right off the bat.

I love this idea, all hail the might dollar. So I guarantee if you can't find a toy now, wait ten years for the re-release. Personally I've almost made good on the huffed up threats that I would buy what my parents wouldn't when I was older except for the ATAT still too allusive. Also, thanks to eBay, we can even get the ATAT walkers we never could afford. Now twenty years later people like me can afford the great toys they had when they were a kid. Next think about capitalism and how the eighties started the Consumerism lifestyle where a disposable income spent on useless crap was the American way. So for the first time you see all these wonderful 25 minute animated commercials.
