Mighty Max Playsets

This 1992 toy series was similar to Polly Pocket, except it was marketed toward young boys. The toyline mainly consisted of "Doom Zones" and "Horror Heads." While the individual toys aren't incredibly valuable on their own, playsets receive the highest market resale, often going for a few hundred bucks.
