>>11564592to be fair there were plenty of blind box toylines back in the 80's and 90's too(MUSCLE, Battle Beasts, and Monster In My Pocket all come to mind just off the top of my head), and slime has been a toy industry gimmick since the 70's, there's a reason Nickelodeon had slime as a big part of its image back in the 90's after all
