My brother had two obsessions when he was a boy. He loved the He-Man series and he loved his Transformers toys. He had a lot of both of them, and he played with them all the time. It was hard for him to play by himself though, so I tired to play with him. I wasn’t a huge fan of either one, so I suspect that he didn’t have much fun with me. I really didn’t know what I was doing, and I didn’t know a lot about the toys. He loved them though, and he would spend hours by himself with them on a rainy day.
The Transformers toys he had were most definitely fun for me though. It was fun to watch how they work as they change from one thing to the other. They were quite intriguing. These Transformers toys that he had were the ones that he saw on the weekly cartoon. They were mostly trucks and cars that turned into other things, though there were also other types you could buy. Some of them were expensive, and he knew he couldn’t have every single one of them that he wanted.

Fashionable women regard themselves, and are regarded by men, as pretty toys or as mere instruments of pleasure; and the vacuity of mind, the heartlessness, the frivolity which is the necessary result of this false and debasing estimate of women, can only be fully understood by those who have mingled in the folly and wickedness of fashionable life ...

I have seen lately that Transformers toys are making a comeback, but not at the level they were when my brother was first in love with them. I don’t know if they have a new cartoon or not, but if the Transformers toys are making a comeback then there must be some way that children are getting interested. Once a cartoon is successful, the toys will soon follow. Though I didn’t realize it when I was a kid, it seems that if you can get a cartoon made that kids will love you are almost guaranteed success in merchandise.
If you look in your attic and find some of the older Transformers toys, you may want to get them out to give to your kids. They will love the older ones, but you may still have to buy some of the newer ones that are on the market if that is something they are into. If you don’t have kids, you may be able to make some money by selling the old Transformers toys to those who loved them as a child and are now collecting them. There are always people out there who fondly remember something from their childhood, and they often like to find these things to bring home with them.
