TMNT was the biggest but a lot of it’s popularity was early 90s too I think. TMNT has clothes, cereal, everything.

Transformers was second biggest. I loved them. That 1986 movie is still good.

Transformers, He-Man, and GI Joe are about even but still a notch below TMNT.

Voltron and Thundercats were great shows but didn't have all the cool toys as the others.

Ghostbusters I think is a bit underrated. Great show and lots of cool toys but overshadowed by the rest.

Yeah, that's not 80's. The movie came out in 1990.

And while they had the cartoon in the late 80's - they didn't really explode until after the movie with a younger demographic.
