My top pick wouldn't even crack the top 100, mostly because of his scarcity: Mattel's Clash of the Titans The Kraken. This giant sized rendition of Ray Harryhausen's masterpiece was the Holy Grail of my childhood and much in the same way remained elusive. Because of the size and cost of the figure production was low so few toy stores carried it and those that did often had it out of stock. Normally depicted as a giant squid, this version of the Nordic sea monster was a more stylized hulking humanoid with 4 arms, fins for legs, and a foot long tail which extended from his derrière. Ironically in the 1981 film "Clash of the Titans" there were no complete body shots of The Kraken. This toy was based on Harryhousen's original maquette and for the longest time was the only way to get a complete view of the creature in all its glory. Although coming from an era when articulation was still in its infancy, The Kraken did have a 360 degree swivel waist, all 4 arms on ball joints, and a detachable tail which swung back & forth on a hinge. Although I never did get this incredible figure as a child, The Kraken now sits proudly on my shelf thanks to our friends the internet and eBay. To whoever holds the license for this toy line I say: Re-release The Kraken! =)

And he had to be recalled, just like cars! What a long and lonely journey he is on down the long and dusty road, just like ... IDK a horse or something that travels down roads. I can't really think of what that could be right now.

@yfz350twin - Actually, the were five big action/adventure/sci -fi toy brands aimed at boys in the 1980s:Masters of the Universe, G.I.Joe:A Real American Hero, The TransFormers (More than Meets the Eye), Voltron:Defender of the Universe and ThunderCats! Those were the toy/toon children's crossover properties that had the most enduring impact and vast popularity! Go-Bots would've been sixth, but the cartoon held it back! Dungeons & Dragons and Pac-Man's cartoons never really caught on as much as their games did; Most of Robotech's figures weren't as popular as the show, and the Turtles toys were more popular in the early '90s than in the '80s! If Star Wars had a more successful cartoon, it might have been in the top three, but with Return of the Jedi being released in May of '83, the brand likely wouldn't have had the longevity to match the others!
