Transsexuals were a line of action figures produced by the Dumbo Corporation in the mid 1980s that helped warp the minds of America's youth. They were one of the most successful toy series to date, and over 2,678 were eventually produced before the company ceased production in 1991. They did however produce several spin-off lines of action figures, and there was even an obligatory television series that is still ongoing. The real joy behind the action figures was their ability to transmogrify from an everyday male robot, to a female robot with special abilities and attributes such as a make-up gun, or a wieldable stiletto. All it took was a quick dip in soapy water, and the process was complete.

  • Transsexuals were a line of action figures produced by the Dumbo Corporation in the mid 1980s that helped warp the minds of America's youth. They were one of the most successful toy series to date, and over 2,678 were eventually produced before the company ceased production in 1991. They did however produce several spin-off lines of action figures, and there was even an obligatory television series that is still ongoing. The real joy behind the action figures was their ability to transmogrify from an everyday male robot, to a female robot with special abilities and attributes such as a make-up gun, or a wieldable stiletto. All it took was a quick dip in soapy water, and the process was complete. There were teething problems at first of course. Produced in 1984, the first line of toys was rather less successful than its successors, as it was discovered that once the robots had changed genders they could never change back. Little boys gave them to their sisters in their droves. Undeterred by the predictable drop in sales, the makers at Dumbo decided to go back to the drawing board and came up with the second line of Transsexuals which proved to be much more successful. Soon every boy, girl and curious older brother had at least approximately 30 individual figures as well as branded lunchboxes, toasters and tie-racks. Dumbo had hit the big time, yet the directors still saw room for improvement, and upon announcement of the production of the 3rd line of action figures they also announced that a television show would be brought out in conjunction with the release of its new wave, which included the ever-popular "Bi-Curious George" action figure.
