Do you collect other toys besides Transformers? Maybe you've got a Masters of the Universe collection you'd like to show off, or maybe you like Thundercats, Voltron, G.I.Joe, Power Rangers, Star Wars, Wrestling, or any of the various comic book toy lines. Please keep the discussions here to non-Transformers toy lines.

Hi everyone,
I can't seem to recall the name of the following toy, thought I'd ask for some assistance from you guys.
I had it back in the mid 80's, and the description is something like this:
You slid your hand into a glove, and atop that glove was a massive spider-like, tarantula furry creature, which an action figure could sit on too...and it had massive battery operated wings that would flap when turned on. The thing was super bad-a** awesome, and of course there was a good guy and a bad guy. I just described the bad guy one.
Anyone?

The other childhood AWESOME toy memory I had, since it coincided with the perfect age for me, was the M.A.S.K. toys.
Time to start tracking them down too.
I have 2 still, I have to check their names however. (the black suv looking truck, and the camaro one)

I only had one M.A.S.K vehicle, the neon green motorcycle that turned into a helicopter, that thing was so awesome!
the 80's had the best toys for sure!, you either got real plastic or real metal!

Green Motorcycle = Condor (with Brad Turner)
Yes, the '80's toy I enjoyed even more than Transformers was M.A.S.K. (and I still own a complete vehicle + figure collection to prove it).
I'm so meta, even this acronym
