The '80s was overflowing with iconic cartoons, many of which changed the face of pop culture
forever. The influence of many of these shows can be seen even today, over 30 years later.
From "He-Man and the Masters of the Universe" to "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles," generations
of people grew up watching and loving all sorts of wacky, colorful and memorable characters born

decades past, and others were based on toys, bringing marketing to a whole new level. Toys based
