what more of your childhood toys are worth now

Done a lot of these "what are they worth" posts lately, but get ready for more head-hitting prices.

THIS GAME WAS SO CRAZY! I mean, I really don't remember how to play, but I know it was fun.

Oh, just some skateboards that you ride with your fingers... Now worth the triple digits.

Easiest, most simple game ever, but ya never know what those collectors like.

The original Super Soaker. It would never win in a fight with the new things they've come up with, but people are offering some dough.

K'nex Rolle Coasters. The people who buy this for nearly $1,000 must think they're gonna get to ride it.

No one's got street cred like the Street Sharks... obviously worth a lot now since their appearance in Sharknado.

Fisher Price castle, complete with a canon and a hideaway tower.

I mean, these were pretty damn special... so now they're going for $1100.

The smallest doll in all the land, now with a hefty bill.

The original Game Boy best come with some games if I'm going to be paying that kinda money. 

Of course these things can't be considered "worth" all this money unless someone's going to pay that much for them, right? Unless we're playing by "Storage Wars" rules because you never see someone actually buy any of the stuff they find and price out.

Either way... it's time to start hoarding so I can be rich in twenty years... Cuz I know we had at least six of those things that my mom probably threw out three years ago.

where are they now?: the power rangers

Brace yourselves. You're about to learn where the original cast of the Power Rangers are now, and some of them are rather shocking, and possibly heartbreaking.

Black Ranger [cue any "oh OF COURSE he was the Black Ranger comments that we didn't say when we were little], AKA Walter Jones, is acting in small movies and missing his middle finger.

Pink Ranger, AKA Amy Jo Johnson, is also still acting... but actually had a leading role in a show called "Flashpoint" I saw a couple times.

Looking back, I guess it's no shocker that Blue Ranger, AKA David Yost is gay. Every group of people in the 90s had one gay guy, and he sure is pretty.

Green Ranger, AKA Jason Frank is still the Green Ranger... in MMA. He looks terrifying.

Red Ranger, AKA Austin St John, is a Washington, DC paramedic! Quick! Someone get really hurt so you can always say "I was rescued by a Power Ranger!"

Now comes the sad part.....

Yellow Ranger, AKA Thuy Trang, died in a car accident just days before September 11th. 

Good news to make you smile again: They're all still friends. That's really neat. 

And now, I'll just leave you with this.

nifty?: urban outfitters is selling ridiculous 90s things now

I told myself I'd stay off the internet today and not believe a damn thing that is posted, but I'm assuming all of these things are actually for sale on Urban Outfitters website just because they've always embraced the weird and the 90s.

So... Take a little looksee at what they're assuming people will buy...

These light-up platform shoes for $180

This sweatshirt is actually pretty sweet, but it's $50

These velvet shoes that should only be worn as a costume are already sold out.

This sweet Power Rangers shirt is full nostalgia for $45

While this is totally Clarissa, Dawson's Creek, and Topanga approved, I'm not sure it's 2013 or pocketbook approved for $50

While these look comfortable, just NO... for $54. 

As for these... they're only appropriate for a gag gift, BUT they're $16. 

I really can't decide. Prank or not?! I feel like some of these could TOTALLY be real, while other have to be a jk. The shoes?! SERIOUSLY?! There's no way......

As much as I truly love the 90s, there are some things that don't need to be brought back... and most of these are some of those things.
