All Hail Duke 4 years later and i never did that sh-t
or get pigeons to stop flying into my mouth


anyways the rights to this line (and others from the company) have been bought, so you may very well get some true mang lava at some point

captain516 Hey Duke, still having trouble with pigeons flying into your mouth?

All Hail Duke since i have tons of free time due to the lack of having a job (fuck you economy/california) i got the idea to use my limited artistic skills and do a small painting of the Manglord emerging from the mang lava in his iron mangen,it'll be mangtastic

just have to do some sketches of the idea

BurntToShreds I MUST have a bucket of Nickelodeon Slime.

SPINAL They just don't make toys like they use to.

Geminate The obvious thought - after playing with your Manglord and Manglava, wouldn't any normal kid desire to taste and perhaps eat them? So RoG, what do they taste like?!

LOL! You made my day.

JakeOfAllTrades Another toy line I liked as a kid was Action Man. This was Australia's answer to G.I. Joe. He was the size of a Ken doll but he was far manlier, at least he had the balls to grow a beard in some versions of him. Once I had him have a smackdown battle with my cousin's Ken over Barbie, with my cousin participating of course (she was a bit of a tomboy, who thought Ken was a wimp too).

Cruxader OH THE NOSTALGIA!!!

Rog... I had Maxx from RoboForce and Remco's mini-monsters playset with all the monsters as well. You forgot to add that Remco made a GI Joe knock off called Sgt. Rock (actually it was based on a comic). I had Manglor as well. I wanted the volcano set SO bad, but after I tore Manglors legs off and could never get them back on right... I kinda lost interest. Man... thanks for the walk down memory lane. (I had totally forgotten about Roboforce.)

JakeOfAllTrades Thanks to eBay the 80s never dies, but the owners of said 80s trend toys will eventually die. Which means their kids will be playing with this stuff and not us if we want to buy it.

Another toy that I WAS born in the right time to enjoy was Monster in my Pocket, not Pocket Monsters which came after that, which you might like to do a piece on. There were also these really cool angry insect toys which my mother hated that you could get back in the 90s.

And please one day do an article on Mighty Max toys, I remember owning at least ten sets of those, including a Zombie themed set which was in the shape of a zombified hand, and this awesome Mighty Mountain set which was my generation's Manglor Mountain of a sort, only this one stood the test of time, as my Mighty Mountain is in storage with my other old toys.

Nick "Nooooo! You're decreasing the value!!!"

Seriously, thanks for letting us have this chance to regret missing out on the 80's even more. Mang-Lava.

Chuggernaught Oh man, I could have made some amazing messes with those toys. I seem to remember Hordak had a play set that used slime as well.

jo8136 heh good review. saw these in a thrift store awhile back. Almost bought them.

JakeOfAllTrades All this emphasis on Mang reminds me of Scarface for some reason. *twiddles thumbs while people remember that movie*

Asila Yah, Betelgeuse is technically the planet that Ford Prefect comes from in the Hitchiker's series, which makes it all the more surprising to see.

Darkfloyd This is why I love I-mockery! Excellent job RoG, very funny and informative.
Sep 26th, 2008 09:48 PM
ScaryRedMonster MangDemon looks absolutely fucking awesome.

Oh, I can cuss on the internet, right?
Sep 26th, 2008 08:15 PM
Aduross Y'know, if they do indeed have a Mang-Lang, I wonder do they have Mang-Slang? Do the Mang-Scholars criticize the Mang-Youth for their Mang-disrepect of the Mang-Lang with their Mang-Slang? Are there Mang-Dialects in different parts of the Mang-Plantet? Are there deaf Manglors? Do they speak in Sign-Manguage? I think I need to lay down for a bit.

Ferrit DO NOT IMMERSE MOUNTAIN

I love that
Sep 26th, 2008 06:37 PM
Pentegarn Wow, that takes me back. I haven't seen those in what, 20+ years? I couldn't even remember what they were called. Good blast from the past RoG!
Sep 26th, 2008 05:25 PM
Aries I had Manglor Mountain! I saw the commercial for it and immediately had to get it. My uncle bought it for me one night. As I recall, Masters of the Universe had a slime pit type of thing around the same time. For one brief period in toy history, slime was the in thing. The only Manglor figure I had was the one that came with the mountain, and as I recall the whole thing was a bit of a letdown. After using the mountain you had to wash it out immediately or the slime would dry up and get crusty.

KrytenSyxx Gotta love toys that they insist you break, only for the child to realise that the detached appendage will never again full mend back to the body. Those crafty marketing bastards!
Sep 26th, 2008 01:37 PM
Relaxing Dragon -RoG-, you are 100% right; there needs to be more iron maidens included in toys today (why isn't there a Lego one yet? It makes so much sense).

Also, I must give kudos to Ideal for including Betelgeuse in that origin story. After all, Ford and Zaphod are from a small planet near there, so it's an awesome place.
Sep 26th, 2008 01:07 PM
DavidFullam First time poster, long time reader. Back in the 1980s, the Manglors got a beating on a one shot HBO special, that was something of a Consumer Reports for kids. It told the tale of one young boy who wanted a refund from Ideal after he discovered that the torn Manglors didn't actually return to their original form after being ripped apart. Instead of a refund, he got all new Manglors instead.

Mockery CarpetGnome, that's what eBay is for. Just because you didn't grow up when those toys were all the rage, doesn't mean you can't still track them down and enjoy 'em.

JakeOfAllTrades, hehe thanks, I'll try to do more video reviews when I have the chance.

darkvare, unless mangos are made of highly volatile chemicals that can melt your soul... no, I don't think so.

Icculus, be careful what you say about the Mang-Wizards and Mang-Magicians. They may toil for years to come about how to Mang-Murder you for laughing at them. Man, you really can put "Mang-" in front of just about any word to make it better, can't you?

stonewar, was there really? I've seen a ton of old commercial collections and have never seen a commercial for that playset, nor do I remember ever seeing one for it when I was a kid. The only Manglors commercial I've seen is the one I included at the end of my video there. If you ever manage to find it it, let me know.

Angryhydralisk, if only that were true. The sad reality is that it would just be a fairly rigid clump of MANG-LAVA in a pool of Nickelodeon Slime. Sorry my friend, but the two are like oil 'n water.

Doctor_Who, thanks, but the only reason my voice only sounds like that is because I now gargle with MANG-LAVA on a daily basis.
