Micro Machines
Thumbnail-sized cars, playsets, and whole cities scaled down to fit in your pocket — the whole appeal was how impossibly tiny and detailed they were. Sold by a pitchman who talked so fast you could barely keep up.

Sky Dancers
Galoob's pull-string flying fairy dolls: yank the cord and the foam-winged doll spun into the air and across the room — often straight into someone's face. Recalled by the millions in 2000.
Trash Bag Bunch
Galoob's tiny monster figures came sealed inside miniature trash bags. You dropped the bag in a sink, it dissolved, a tablet inside fizzed like Alka-Seltzer, and a Disposer or a Trashor floated up out of the foam. It was 1991, Earth Day was cool again, and you never knew which of the 36 you'd get.
Z-Bots
Galoob's inch-high robots, sold three to a pack and split into two warring camps: Z-Bots, Designed to Defend, against Voids, Made to Menace. A Micro Machines spin-off scaled down to the size of a thumbnail.
