        I think it was a pink ranger figure. I don't have many action figures.

          Man, you guys are making me feel my age... The earliest figure I can remember is a plastic Mego motorized Spider-Man figure, which pulled itself up Spidey's webline.

                  I had to dig in my memory for that one, but I'm prettu sure that my first "figure" was either a Rubber Incredible Hulk figure or a 1982 Snake Eyes

                    My first was the Captain Hook figure from "HOOK". Along with another pirate who's name I don't remember, but he had a parrot & peg leg.

                        I think I had one G.I. Joe and I had some weird fish or frog-looking dude that must have been part of a action figure collection of some kind. I also had "Buzz-Off," a huge muscular man-bumblebee from He-Man I believe.

                            I had the Six Million Dollar Man/Steve Austin action figure. He even had a pull away face so that he could double as his android evil twin, and you could look through the back of his head to see through his bionic eye(mini telescope). I remember thinking he was very cool until my young aunt decided he should shack up with her Barbie and hang out in the oven/their apartment, and he died when Gramma preheated the oven for dinner. The smell of burnt plastic hung around for days, and I was never allowed to get another action figure.

                                My first action figure was a Power Rangers action figure.I liked it since I was a little kid.

                                  My first was either Evel Knievel, Roy from "Emergency!" or a big G.I. Joe that talked when you pulled his dog tags. I wish I still had them.

                                  The day that changed my life, however, was when my Gram took me to see Star Wars and bought me Luke, R2-D2, and a Stormtrooper at the mall toy store next to the theatre afterwards. It was all downhill from there, I'm afraid.

                                    Let's See...
                                    -Bumblebee (G1 Transformers; Sold him at a garage sale I guess...). I'm so glad he was a main character in the new movie. I bought a redesigned version (Chevy Camaro) of the character from the new movie as a tribute.

                                    -An original edition of Raphael from TMNT (Broke him a couple times and super glued him back together at least three times until my mom just threw him out). 16 years later I found him for $3 at a second-hand toy store/novelty store called Big Fun. No belt or weapons but it made me happy to be reunited with a childhood favorite.

                                    My biggest action figure collection is Star Wars figures from the original series (1978-1987), Power of the Force Collection II (1995-1998), Episode I (1999), Episode II (2002), and Episode III (2005). I have over 100 of them. I collect them loose and I have most of their accessories.

                                    My crown jewel is a POTF2 Darth Vader from 1997. I remember how badly I wanted him for Christmas that year and I didn't get him. I did get at least a dozen other characters and an X-Wing to boot though. Then, about three days later my aunt was picking through Christmas sale items at a local Big K-Mart (Now Sears Grand) and just happened to be perusing the toy section and there he was, Darth MOTHERFUCKING ('cuse me but I thought it necessary for major emphasis) Vader, sitting amongst such common figures at the time as Skiff Guard Lando Calrissian and Garindian. Then, she bought him and brought him home to surprise me. She told me to close my eyes and hold out my hands. I couldn't believe it. I screamed, pinched myself, and gave my aunt the biggest hug ever. She was always my coolest aunt. She was also my youngest aunt who lived with my mom, grandma, sister, and I. She definitely understood how much this figure and character meant to me!! ^_^ (To see a pic of him, check out my photos in my profile; This should be an article...LOL ^_^)

                                    Anyway, I do have one carded figure though. An orange card Power of the Force Collection II Yoda from 1995. Awesome. ^_^

                                      The first one I remember, though I doubt it was my first, was a WWF Hasbro figure of Smash from the Demolition.
