In the next issue of Toy Shop, we'll be looking at some of the top TV/movie toys of all time. As you might have guessed, the list of toys in this category is quite long, so I expect a little help in forming the list. Have you got any favorites? Let me know, and I'll add them to the list.

I thought I'd take a little time and discuss some of my personal favorites.  Being a kid of the 1980s, I was a fan of Masters of the Universe toys, but in this position, I've grown to love many great toys from the past. I love Western caps guns based on Have Gun Will Travel and the Lone Ranger shows. Nothing transformed you into a character better than gun and holster set. I still shoot toy guns in the office, much to the chagrin of my co-workers.

I also love spy movies, so an attache case, spy camera or trick pen is something I can always use. These characters always had some great gadgets, and I'm glad many companies decided to produce toys of these little wonders. I think some of these need to be added to the list, as well.

Of course, hardly a movie goes by today without a line of associated toys. Just imagine the secondary profits that will be made in the next few weeks with the release of Spider-Man 3, Shrek the Third and Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End. It's mind-boggling. But will these toys someday make their mark as the best TV/movie toys of all time? Maybe, but I'll stick with a Creature of the Black Lagoon figure any time.

Don't forget to add your thoughts as to the best TV/movie toys of all time. I'm listening.
