This is really cool of you to do! Unfortunately I have seen plenty of videos being t a k e n Down by YT for "PC" reasons and it would be sad to see that happen to your work. You might want to consider starting your own website as a backup and host these there as well. If the traffic builds up enough from here to there then you might see better profit from views as well which will better fund this project giving you a better budget to take on this endeavor and share with it us.
Lovely stocking!
Brother! Thank you for sharing this great anecdotal historical information. Thankfully it will not get lost with videos like this.
Hope there's more. Goody Reels of vintage TV commercials sometime soon!
Wish they would reissue Brother Rat Fink.
He was cool and creepy.
Great stuff! Love 'em! I have plenty of those tiny treasures. 😃
They are a lot of fun and stir the imagination in those of us with young hearts
That's awesome!
Thanks!... one of the things you buy and forget for decades.. glad to have found it. Thanks for watching
Those are some amazing pieces! Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching.
Absolutely I remember! I must have only been like 6 or 7 when I got some that were made so you could put them on a string to make a necklace, I still have a few! I remember the model kits, but I don’t think I ever had one.
They were fun and outrageous !!! Thanks for watching.
Great video.
Thanks , I always have fun. Cheers for watching , spread the word.
Loved U.N.C.L.E and still love 007. Just got a danbury mint aston martin db5 with all the gadgets that work in mint condition. Great video.
Good find. I was a wannabe spy kid. I was lucky enough to be able to keep all this stuff. We have a new exhibit called Spies and Space, Toys of the Cold war era. Take a look at our web site.. for info on where it is next... cheers for watching .
I love this guy’s energy. He’s definitely slept on. KEEP LIVING! 👏💚
Cheers for watching, There is so much more to unearth
Im thinking about getting the book about his origin.
I loved it. Simple , heroic and short.
I have a question, is big loo is considered a collector's item? and it costs a lot of money
From what I know it is a collectors item. Not many survived and it is such a big iconic toy. Mine is missing a few pieces, it seems the box is incredibly rare.
Man, i had (2) gray vikings: wings on helmut with a sword, second, one blowing viking horn with a spear. Neighbor probably got em, his daddy didn't really believe in toys 😐
Wow some how I totally missed the Viking set of guys. Huh.. Thanks for watching.
Gave a deck to a sister these cards mean alot!! Thank you for video
I loved playing this game with my Mom. Cheers for watching.
In my community, there is a store that sells them brand new called Goods in Pennslvania
This toy was such a massive rip-off. I remember spending all of my Christmas money one year to buy one of these and it wasn't cheap. It worked great and made some really nice items, but they only gave you enough liquid to wet your appetite and make a handful of items and then you were out of luck. No way my parents were shelling out money for bottles of goop, so the toy basically sat there unused and was quickly given away.
Sorry to hear that... I spent many many hours making stuff. I only have fond memories. Thanks for watching.
I was fortunate enough to grow up in the late 50's early 60's and we had some fantastic toy companies back then. Mattel, Marx, Hasbro, Ideal, Milton Bradley, and Parker Brothers to name just a few.
Lotsa fun toys back in the day.
wonderful!!! My friend
thanks for watching
Super-cool book!!!
So many books and so little time. Thanks for commenting
Real cool!!!!
I always had fun saving stuff.
Great collection my friend...do you have monsters magazines?
Yeah .. I have huge piles of them somewhere.. which ones did you like??
I have a small collection of vintage army men. Everybody's gotta have a few
The wallets with the colored acetate , was a secret emblem concealer, whatever was text/Logo printed in a certain color on the card magically disappeared when the card was in the wallet, and was only visible when you pulled the card out. A different toy, Secret Agent Zero-M had a similar notepad / clear sleeve, and a colored pen, for writing "invisible messages".
We now have a traveling exhibit called Spies and Space : Toys of the Cold War Era. All my spy stuff is now on display. Pretty cool, and thanks for watching.
i have this alarm. I love it!
Where did you get yours?.... it is a fun alarm clock. Cheers for watching!
Awesome!
Glad you liked it... I have fun and had fun way back when... Share and spread the word ... thanks
I need one!!!
I am sure they are out there somewhere. Thanks for watching.
I just found my Frustration Ball. Been playing the last hour. LOL
Makes lotsa noise doesn't it??. I recall it as a wonderous slumber party toy. Thanks for watching
Cool, seeing all these military figures from the past make me happy remembering my childhood, Thank you!
I sure had lots of fun with all these toys. It brings me joy to share my memories. thanks for watching.
T.H.E. Cat and Honey West!
I love T.H.E. Cat. He seemed so cool. Honey West was cool too
its crazy how excited us old kids get with our toys. lol
It is like time travel.
@@supermonstercity2938 Thumb's up!
i think youre mistaken. ilya was there from the beginning i believe
Maybe I am mistaken... I was young. Thanks for watching.
@@supermonstercity2938 Weren't we all. Lol
That's an awesome collection
Cheers and thanks for watching
I had one. But yes, playing with them leads to breakage. The crank that played the voice broke off on ours from cranking it too much. It was the coolest. I'm thinking it was 1963, maybe 1964.
Yeah and so many parts to lose. He was a friend from the moon. My dear Robot Commando just was smashed when a mountain of boxes fell on him. And Big Loo just seems to harken to a more innocent age. Thanks for watching
The artwork on these are spectacular, just really beautiful detail. Any one of these could be blown up poster sized and be an AWESOME addition to any room. Also, that green lamp !! I just love it! I just wish these videos were longer.
Thanks for watching! Yes any one of those cards could be a poster. I keep most videos short because I am told people don't watch long videos. I have shot many many of them on all sorts of stuff in the collection. And the stuff tours. Check out our newsletter, sign up at SuperMonsterCity.com Cheers, glad you enjoy them.
I have a copy of this book! I got it last year from a church op shop in Newcastle Australia for $2!!
Cool!!
These guys would fit in from mid-World War 2 into the early post-war period. The “guy on patrol” with the Ushanka hat is holding a SVT-40 (sniper variant, but the scope is mounted in the wrong place). As the name implies, the SVT-40 was available in 1940, but mass production was FUBARED by Operation Barbarossa. The sniper variant was abandoned by 1942 or so, so this guy has a fairly uncommon weapon for the time. The “aiming snipers” have Mosin-Nagants, which are the most common Soviet sniper rifles of the era. They were first put into production in the 1890s and were also copied. Great weapon.
Wow , You know your stuff!! Cheers.
I had one of these. I fully expected it to be able to clean my room. Heh. Broke the voice device within the first week. Still had a ton of fun with it. *It scared my sisters silly.
It as a big and fun toy, almost overwhelming.
Will DEFINITELY keep the memories alive! 💯✌️❤
Another wonderful video. I LOVE those Frazetta prints. I’m an artist too and was always “Drawn” to his work! ✏️😉
I have way too many Frazetta prints framed and all over my house ( is it possible to have too many Frazetta prints framed???) Also loved the Bama Doc Savage Covers too.
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH for posting this sir. I love ALL of your videos and this one really hits home with me. I am in the process of putting my “memory room” together and it’s just so wonderful reminiscing about the items from our past. I have SO MANY “Indian Jones” type discoveries of my own. THANK YOU again for your time and please keep posting! “ I search for the past, to give to the present, So that the Future doesn’t forget it” ❤️💯🇺🇸🥰
Yeah , so very glad you enjoy our videos. I have a house fulla stuff and I wanna share it. We are all subject matter experts of our own lives.. if we don't tell our stories and help our pasts be understandable.... who will?. Again thanks for your heartfelt response
When I was in Kindergarten, we made a scrap book of the year. For Christmas I wrote, "I got a Horrible Hamilton rifle."
Very cool. I love scrapbooks.. they tell a tale. I have mine from my Great Grand Mother and Grand Mother. And alas I never had The Hamilton rifle, did yours survive to the present day??
U. N. C. L. E. is my favorite TV show, I was 12 when the show came out and anything connected the the show I bought, if I wasn't for sale I would make it, like the pen communicator. Great memories, thanks!
Yeah , I wore black turtle neck shirts for years. Glad you enjoy our videos . What happened to all your stuff? Nowadays I don't think folks realize how big U.N.C.L.E was... it was huge. Go sign up for our news letter on our website... our Spies and Space exhibit goes out 3 times next year, cheers for watching.
Great memories as I am a child of the 1960's and a huge James Bond fan. Cheers from Toronto.
Again thanks for watching. We have a new exhibit on toys of the cold war. It will be touring in the States next year. Check out our webpage and sign up at the bottom for our newsletter.. Cheers.
I still have my Creepy Crawlers, Fright Factory and Creeple Peeple! And they did have a set come out in the 90s (I believe) that cooked the GIANT bugs, they were still aluminum molds but a light bulb oven. I also learned to make my own plastigoop so I don’t have to buy a million bottles of it off the web. I typically make a huge bowl of bugs for kids to take from when trick-pr-treating along with candy.
Wow , when I was a kid , I too made bugs to add to the trick or treat bowl. None of the later thingmaker sets did it for me. How did you figure out the formula for plastigoop?? Thanks for watching. Cheers
@@supermonstercity2938 - I don’t remember exactly what initiated my search but I came across videos of fishermen who make their own fake bait. They do a very similar process but they heat up the plastisol and then inject it into 3D molds. The difference is that what they typically use is much softer and tears rather easily. They talked about using a “hardener” so I tried some of that; way too hard. So I played with some mixtures to try to get the right balance. I was successful but it was kind of a pain always mixing the right amounts. Then I tried Dead On Plastix - one of their hardeners alone was just the right consistency. It looks white, turns clear, so I also used some dye for different colors, the same dyes that fishermen use. It’s not cheap if you only want to play with it a bit and make a few bugs, but my grandson and I were making tons of stuff in different colors. I bought a stash of plastic bottles just like the ones that came with them originally, so I’m able to mix and save recipes for different colors. The only problem I’ve had is with glow-in-the-dark; the only way to do it is with a powder, and it doesn’t dissolve very well in the goop and it usually will settle at the bottom of the mold when cooking. I may just have to play around with it some more.
I agree with you he is very impressive. If you're a toy collector you definitely need one of these.
You were a little younger than me, so a lot of your toys came out later than the ones I remember. I do seem to remember a mechanized Godzilla that shot marbles! I was really young so it had to be about 1965 or earlier. I just remember it scaring me (but thrilling me at the same time) - I’m guessing it got pulled from the market pretty soon too because it was too dangerous. Yet they still sold hot plates to 8 year olds (Creepy Crawlers).
They were fun times
Amazing pieces!
And poor Robot Commando, after filming this, a mountain of boxes fell over and smashed him to bits. Thanks for watching. Cheers
@@supermonstercity2938 oh no! Sorry to hear that
