@@irishrebel6714 hey! Thanks for the comment and glad you are enjoying. I’ll be sure to check you out sometime :)

@@Dezimondo thanks mate. Really enjoying trying different types of videos out at the moment :)

@@davenipples cheers Dave. Yeah, who knows? Had I not make this mistake with the cabinet those minis may never have seen the light of day

@@timothyfletcher2194 ha! All the best stuff from the third floor was in that lovely Toys of Christmas Past window display I did.

⁠ahh I’m sure you had a boxed falcon variant in that display that I don’t have if I remember rightly 👍

@ 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

@@grand-kids-rule. cheers mate, wasn’t easy but have felt a lot better since posting this to be honest. And the (mostly) overwhelming sense of support has been very comforting.

@@AdoreEndure I’ve done a bit of research since and they are definitely not the FASA ones (I actually have some of those still in the little Tardis boxes). I think they are a mix of Harlequin Miniatures who were making them in the late 90s to early 2000s and Black Tree Designs who made them later (hence the inclusion of the 9th, 10th and 11th Doctors). Of course there could be some others mixed in too, and maybe even some unofficial garage/bootleg ones. I haven’t looked THAT closely hahaha. Thanks for watching :)

​@@CosmicToysCould be something Modelzone done but I don't remember any other Dr Who gaming miniatures for any other strategy games. Bluebird made miniatures for the playsets a Small run which I believe stopped Fasa's production. But Modelzone just sold and made whatever it liked. I miss those shops.

@@Retrotoyguysi it’s so easily done. I remember the old phrase: “measure three times, cut once” I think it applies here. Thanks for watching

@ 😁

I didn't know he had Twitch he has two TH-cam channels Instagram, Facebook, X Twitter and Amazon profile

I’m really pleased with how it looks in the cabinet. I need to put some effort into the unpainted ones now hahaha

Cheers Dave. I will improve it over time. Want something in there as a backdrop, now a fan of the wood effect…

@@benjaminwalton4808 such a good paint job on them

@@steveswindell7785 I’m going to try to do something like this more often. Not all the time but every now and then :)

@@frangrock serendipity :)

@MartinBrook-n5g they look so good :)

@@ebneigh5191 that’s a very interesting way of looking it… I don’t disagree.

@@casual_bill8749 thank you so much for this. It’s silly that the words of people you don’t even know can hurt so much but then you read something nice like this. It really means a lot.

@CosmicToys people feel all kinds of false courage when they sit behind a screen. Doubt those people would actually say anything to you in person. But you're right words do still hurt. Tell you what though mate they won't hurt for long. Where as the stuff that comes from the heart, from one toy collector to another purely for the love of our hobby they are the words you'll remember and cherish for the rest of your life. You should be proud of everything you have built for yourself and the great community your bringing together here. Hold your head high fella your sound as a pound and we know it everyone here! One day when I beat my acrophobia I'll come to your shop and meet you!

@@casual_bill8749 I do t have the words to respond. Thank you for that.

@@CosmicToys your most welcome my friend.

@@kumachan9311 in my opinion it should be but that’s a TH-cam thing. I suppose his content itself doesn’t actually breach any of their policies so they may leave it as is. Although I imagine advertisers won’t want to promote their products on his videos if they knew so maybe YT would do something on those grounds, but even then it may only be demonetising them… The more people the report his channel to TH-cam the better the odds they will act.

And how would they know? They haven't got a magical crystal ball after all. Or do you want them (TH-cam) to know about personal details from private lives of every person who establishes an account on their platform, including yourself? Think first!

@@MegaGreattimes we can all hope he won’t.

What the heck do you mean? That he should get killed in a prison?

I think there were a lot of people who thought that. I’d had a lot of people asking about him and promised to update them when I could, hence this video.

@@ReynoldsReviews I don’t intend to. Had to do this for those I had promised to keep updated when asking about him. Felt a lot better afterwards till people started been stupid of course… But onwards and upwards now :)

@@211inprogress yeah… well I hope you enjoy the rest of the content haha

@CosmicToys. Look forward to you're toy related, uploads. 👍

@@benjaminwalton4808 thanks Ben Something a little off the cuff :)

@@wheelsdeals4324 which one was that? I have made an effort to go through and remove all live streams and videos with him in them. He’s still a channel member as I am unable to cancel his subscription (only he can do that) but I’ve still gone through and deleted his ‘credit’ in all the descriptions. Obviously some are goons slip through my net…

@CosmicToys sorry I'm not sure as it auto played, will send you the name of I find it It was last few mins of a what was traded in video, and he was in person in your shop. His channel name was superimposed over the footage.

@ don’t worry about it. There can’t be more than one of two he’s in after my purge. And if it’s just a brief segment it would be a shame to lose the whole video for it… I’ll still keep an eye out for it though

@@CosmicToys looked in 'watched videos'. What's New At Cosmic Toys? Universal Monsters Figures! HotWheels! Harry Potter Dolls! Mezco Godzilla

@ thanks! Never thought of that. Doh! Right will take a look as soon as I get chance

@@fortheloveofzuckuss1724 I remember seeing you pop up in his chat. Not a pleasant situation. I can’t help but keep think about the kids he’s harmed in the past and their parents. And none of us had any idea.

@@thekeykeeper I honestly don’t know. We can keep reporting it to TH-cam. Surely their advertisers won’t be happy knowing their ads are on his videos…

​@@CosmicToys TH-cam probably won't take it down unless there's criminal activity in the clips, but good chance they'll demonetize it and stop him building up cash for his release. It's grim to see some latter videos in context, like I think we can guess why he suddenly dyed his hair now (I did wonder at the time). I did notice myself he was getting very confrontational with shop workers and noticed a lot of dodgy "auditor" people in his subscriptions list during a room tour, which I think influenced his behaviour, like "I can do what I want" and not worry about whether it's the right thing to do or whether it might upset anyone. The video in the charity shop in Morley arguing about his right to film while being shouted at by everybody was pure nightmare fuel, but it was completely his (seemingly) completely unfiltered personality to just upload it. I think it was how open he *seemed* about *everything* that made it hard to believe he would have any other side to him you didn't know already, let alone such a truly evil one. Anyway Gareth, hope you're doing well and it looks like the more knuckleheaded comments are slowing down. Onwards and upwards!

@ there were a lot of things he did that I didn’t like. And I’m not saying this just now nor behind his back, I told him at the time, both in his chats, PMs and to his face. I told he bang out of order been so confrontational with shop workers, any issues should have been discussed calmly after the camera was turned off. I was adamantly opposed to the use of the ‘spy’ glasses and told him that several times and even refused to let him use them in my shop. He seemed to latch onto the Charlie Beech videos about filming in public places and I told him just because you can doesn’t mean you should and it’s certainly doesn’t make you ‘right’. Sadly I think you are right about his channel. We can hope though and if people keep reporting him the sheer number may help. It does seem to have calmed down a little now (faster than I thought actually) and rather than post a response to RetroBlastings video as I originally intended I have decide just to move on, hopefully I won’t get dragged in any deeper that way. Onwards and upwards indeed, I’m currently editing a video that I filmed a little before the news broke. Gotta get back on that horse. Thanks for the support you have shown. It really is appreciated and didn’t go unnoticed. Thank you so very much 🙏

@timeforoldcars I simply don't buy it. He's a previously convicted sex offender. He's been done _again_ along the same lines. Yes, you can film in public..... but in shops etc?! With people are unaware? (Spy glasses) No doubt those places had policies on their land. AND... once again _HE'S A CONVICTED SEX OFFENDER!_ He's on TH-cam, with a toy channel of all things... a honey pot to kids. It's totally out of order. They HAVE to take it down! Lord knows what other footage he captured that he didn't make public!

@@thekeykeeperTH-cam are really lax about it unfortunately, they're more interested in policing copyright than keeping people safe. I remember a similar controversy years ago when they wouldn't remove Jonathan King's video diaries, they're still on here and he's done more porridge than Goldilocks.

@@truckerlee5975 the fact he has been able to operate a toy focused channel all these years is mind blowing.

@@Dessan01 oh I’m sure he will be kept safe in his own private cell. I hope he never walks through my shop door again

@@CosmicToysThey always find a way to get to them don’t worry, a year - 18 months is an eternity for wrong uns in there. Just googled your shop, I’m in Leeds myself might come for a look one weekend, it’s worth it to see the Dalek in the window 👍🙂 I’ll say hi if I do. Cheers

@ be sure you do let me know if you pop in :)

@@stevearts85 excuses? Protect him. What the hell are you talking about?

@@jayd5360 absolutely.

@@chandler9638 yeah, my box wasn’t exactly mint either. Enjoy the figure :)

@RetroActionUK thank you, for this post, it actually means quite a lot to me as everyone seems to be so sucked into what Michael said. How can anyone think I am trying to bury my head in the sand or hide what he did while providing this article for everyone to see? Marc did that, if he saw you in his live chat two or three times he would make you a moderator. I used to think it was his way of giving something back to vis growers without having to put his hand in his pocket. Now I wonder if it was a way of luring us into that false sense of trust.

@ I used to think that too about him making us moderators but I think you’re right about the false sense of trust.

Yeah, that cabinet would be spot on for Battle Beasts!

@@gerardoconnor1010 I’m very happy he is behind bars. Only saddened that he will be out so soon. I hope nobody you know ever turns out to be like this guy so you don’t have to feel how we do.

Hi Acrodave. I can understand you wanting to collect your thoughts, but please don't let this change YOU. Take care my friend.

@@acrodave9287 I think people are massively misunderstanding me. I’m not been ‘cagey’ about this. The headline and first paragraph or two very clearly state what kind of monster he was and that there is a surprisingly long history of it from him. Nobody NEEDS to know the sordid details of his actions though, and that what I was hoping to prevent some people who may get so upset about such things from reading. I couldn’t bring myself to say the words because of all the emotions, not due to been cagey. As Kieron says though. Don’t let him ruin your enjoyment of this scene. We cannot let one nasty price of work like him ruin it for everyone else.

@@CosmicToys Perhaps 'cagey' was a poor choice of words on my part, apologies. Nothing will destroy my love for the toys though, I can assure you of that! It'd take a *lot* more than one nonce to destroy nearly 60 years of living the toys! Nah, I'm just having a break...I'll be back!

@@kieronball8962 This won't change me Kieron, I'm too set in my ways to let one beast bother me *too* much, but I think I'm entitled to feel a little pissed off at the whole thing, I think *everybody* he fooled is entitled to feel that. Don't worry Kieron, I'll be back to bothering people one way or another before very long!

@@georgeaitken2719 you are right. One thing did occur to me though. He was already experimenting with AI in his videos before he was locked up. I would be cautious of any new channel that sets up in the future where we never see the presenters face and an AI voice is used…

@@jonboldrey5339 100%. He’s in the right place now, not for long enough mind. Hope we can all move forward and not let him tarnish our community.

Do it!! Lol

@CosmicToys how much it would be 😅?
