Thanks for adding to the list – there’s no way I could cover ALL of ‘em, so I focused on late 90s and beyond.

Keep on adding!

Check out http://www.VisibleInnards.org –’nuff said.

Henshin Cyborg and Microman (aka Micronauts) were important parts of action figure history from the 70’s largely overlooked by modern western collectors and they were mostly transparent action figures (especially Henshin). Nowadays there’s a huge collector’s fandom that has evolved from it in Japan in particular.

Dude — I can’t believe there’s no Crystar love in your post:

All the good guys were either green or blue transparent plastic, with a few painted details (gauntlets, boots, codpieces). Weapons and so forth were usually clear as well — and they even had a kick-ass 100% transparent blue WINGED DRAGON. My mom bought nearly the entire line at a K-Mart discount aisle and meted them out every Christmas for like 4 years. Best toys ever!
