Had quite a few of the Visionaries figures when I was younger. Sadly lost to the ages now!

Those damn "ages" took mine, too. 😔 They were so cool though, weren't they!

Those rhyming incantations are pretty epic. Always been a fan of a solid rhyming incantation.

I didn’t know about Visionaries until I was an adult, but I loved Battle Beasts growing up, with their element hologram battle system. I’ve got a few Battle Beasts and Super Naturals on my toy shelf.

A few years ago, my wife and I visited the Hologram Museum in NYC, which is pretty rad! They show you a studio setup and explain how they make the old school laser light holograms. Highly recommended if you’re in the city.

Oh wow, that's really cool, Geoffrey! I totally forgot about Battle Beasts and their heat sensitive chestplate stickers - had a few of them as a kid and really loved them.

I didn't have any of Tonka's Supernaturals that I remember, but looking up pictures of them now, I definitely remember the commercials and wanting to play with them! Sounds like they were cancelled after only a single wave too. Boo.

A Hologram Museum?! That sounds really cool. I'll have to make sure to visit next time I get up that way.

Thanks for sharing!
