1991 G.I. Joe Trace Plates Toy
I remember this style of toy from when I was a kid, but it wasn’t until recently that I even knew that a G.I. Joe version was produced. This yojoe.com forum post has pics of the box and toy, and looking at this now has me asking: When did this type of toy go out of style? And: Was a Transformers version of the toy ever produced?
I cannot be the only one who remembers playing with this kind of toy, right?

I never had one (would have loved to though!) but the Mighty Men and Monster Maker was the one I remember most. Several of my school-aged friends had them and they were a blast. http://geekdad.com/2013/09/geekdad-retro-toy-mighty-men-monster-maker/
YES! Had the same one Jay had and spent hours making different combinations of monsters and heroes. Makes me want to dig it out again and do some coloring.
