I agree with most your points, including the one about action figures. I never played with toy cars either. and yes, new LEGO is arse compared to what we got back in the day. LEGO before 1991 had a more minimal and generic look, I quite like that simplicity. I had most of my LEGO from the 91-99 era myself (i ve got some 80s too) and my shrink-wrapped airport is something of a trophy for me :icon_bigg (the third airport, the best one really). Nowadays LEGO reminds me more of Playmobile (which I also had a ton!). There's too many ready/specific parts nowadays, kind of takes the whole point out of making something out of LEGO.
OK, well, I don't even count that as the same series as TAS anymore. Sure, Scarecrow's design was much better, but as a whole the animation style got a lot worse, plus the writing had some retarded stuff like Clayface becoming alive again.
Yeah Who the fuck is Luke Skywalker? The Joker is Mark Hamill's finest hour. The thing is I think you could slap the make up on Luke and he'd be just fine as the Joker for live action.
