Defenders of the Earth

Started collecting this one on a whim last year. Not sure if anyone else remembers the show or the toyline, or was even aware that there was a toy line released for the show. Currently I have half of the figures and a third of all the vehicles sealed.

Ooohhh! Pics please.

I remember Mandrake...that's about it at the moment.

Currently down in Canberra away from my collection, and what I said about the vehicles, is only half true (Flash's sword ship and Mongor are currently in transit after being paid for) for the next week or so (hoping to have them in my hot little hands as of next mid next week). Heading back home in a couple of weeks with my girlfriend who has a way better camera than me, so I'll sort out pics then.

Mandrake, the Phantom and Garax are all figures I need to get at the moment- hoping to have them finished by this year though (realistically, things like the grip jaw are likely to take a few years to even surface on eBay, and then it'll be a case of probably needing to sell off a kidney to be able to afford it heh).

I remember these well, k mart had the toys, I remember I had the phantom and mandrake- master of magic spells and illusions, enemies crumble in fear and confusion!!

Lord of the jungle, the hero who stalks, the beasts call him brother, the ghost who walks...phantom!

I loved the show, but dont remember the toys at all. Well, I have a vague memory of Flashes fighter as a toy....

I was never a big fan of the cartoon myself, but for some reason it's one of those 80's theme tunes that is permanently and completely burned into my brain...

Defenders of the Earth.
Defenders!

Out of the sky, his rockets ignite
He jets into battle, flying faster than light
Flash Gordon!

Lord of the Jungle, the hero who stalks
The beasts call him brother, the ghost who walks
Phantom!

Defenders of the Earth.
Defenders!

Master of magic, spells and illusion
the enemies crumble, in fear and confusion
Mandrake!

Defenders of the Earth.
Defenders!

His strength is a legend, his skills conquor all
armed with his power, we never will fall
Lothar!

Defenders of the Earth.
Defenders!

With our new young heroes, proving their worth
four become eight, defending the earth

Defenders of the Earth.
Defenders!
Defenders of the...Earth.


GET OUT OF MY BRAIN, DAMN YOU!!!!!

The figures are around the 6" mark, and all had this power punch gimmick which was activated by turning a dial on their backs.

Also I just found out that my 2 DOTE vehicles have arrived at the post office and so I can post pics of them at the very least, in the next couple of days.

I have the first sesion on DVD it rocks

Bastards!

That tune is in my head now!!!

That and muh muh muh mask MASK always get stuck in my head.....

I'd take those over the frik'n Miley Cyrus song I've been singing for a few days......stupid commercial radio on the way to work.... that's what I get for changing from talkback.....

Was a jay z song on?
