Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors

Virtual Toy Chest's Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors Archive
These toys were made by Mattel in 1983. They are one of the underappreciated toys and cartoons of the early 80s. Building on concepts from the Micronauts line, these toys feature interchangable parts so that you could build your own custom vehicle. They are one of the last series to feature heros that wear neck ties. Special thanks to Patrick Jackson for supplying us with the great info.
