The Mars Attacks action figures were released in 1996 by Trendmasters. One of the ways Trendmasters got their toys to stand out was to bundle floppy disks with their figures, which had little PC games on them. I’m sure some of you watching will remember these Mars Attacks figures and these Mission Disks will spark some nostalgia in you. And I love that. I don’t have any nostalgia for these. They’re brand new to me. And I still think they’re fantastic.

Stoked is very much about looking at weird bits of pop culture ephemera from the 1990s and 2000s. I think you’d have to work hard to find something more iconically 90s than a floppy disk bundled with a movie tie-in action figure. And you can enjoy these yourself to, with the links below.
