Hi everybody! To give a little back history on the Pitch Turtle, Playmates came to us in 86 I believe and wanted us to sculpt a turtle based off the comics that would be more child friendly than the comics were. Steve sculpted Pitch Turtle Don with the orange head band because this was still the time when the turtles all had the same colored head band. Pitch Turtle Don with the orange head band is the holy grail piece which we have, one of one. Four more were made off the mold of the Don Pitch Turtle and sent to Toy Fair in 87 to show off the potential of the line, these were the Toy Fair Turtles. Those four that were sent to Toy Fair in 87 had different colored headbands which Playmates came up with to tell them apart by. Also for all you collectors out there, if you see a hardcopy for sale that's white as a piece of paper, that's a copy casting and fake. Copy Casting is when you make a mold off an original hardcopy. There are some people out there that got ahold of a few hardcopies and made molds of them and are ripping people off passing them off as real when they're not. The resin turns that yellow/brown look over decades. If anyone's interested in learning more or have any questions feel free to follow us over on instagram @varnerstudios -Tanner
Hey I got a question in this video on the top of your head what is that toy the green Godzilla or whatever it is can you please tell me I've been looking for that forever I've had one when I was a kid and if I'm not mistaken and walks by itself and you put oil on the top of his head and it blows out smoke please let me know
Can you please tell me what that Toya is in the video it's right above your head it's like the green Godzilla I'm not sure I don't think it's Godzilla but it used to walk by itself should have a yellow button on us right or left foot I have like two pieces of wood in between it and kind of make it move let me know if you know the name of it I've been looking for one of those for years
My dad bought me so many dope toys and we didn't have much money he just worked his ass off at pan am before it was took over by wall street and run into the ground.
When I was a kid Ghostbusters 2 came out and that Christmas not only did I get the fire house play set and the figures, ghosts and Ecto 1 car but my dad actually bought 130 pots of ghostbusters slime from toys r us and used plumbing parts to build a river of slime as a play set. I will never forget that Christmas morning and I was so happy Santa had brought me this one of one play set.
I got the firehouse, the car, 2 ghostbusters and instead of the 130 cans of slime I got 3. So more of a slime puddle but my parents weren’t rich by any means and I was happy at that.
Wow, that's a cool story! Was the slime pink? Also, I had most of the figures, the firehouse, ghosts, Ecto-1, Ecto-1A, Ecto-2, the Proton Pack and the Ghost trap.
I have the Gre-gory bat. My dad made something so it would hang upside down in my room when I was a kid. It works perfect with the blood pumping down the the chest
Your passion for these vintage toys is awesome. I grew up in the 80s loved every minute of it would love to go back. Need to crank up the flex capacitor! Thanks for some great content.
@KIRKHAUS 878 it is actually a common misconception that it was banned so it was an easy mistake to make. It just sold really really poorly and there was a large backlash from parents so it was pulled pretty quickly. It ended up in a lot of clearance bits and even then it didn't sell well at all.
You didn't miss anything......I was one of those kids that got everything and for some reason my mom thought I needed a 6ft platform that did nothing. I hated that thing with a passion, it took up massive amounts of space, I couldn't fit it anywhere well and it didn't do anything....I counted the days till I could throw it away.
For the longest time my holy grail was the very first non-kit Godzilla vinyl toy made by Marusan in 1966. Finally acquired one last year, but Bryan Flynn of Super 7 recently flaunted his collection of special color variants of them.... so now a new quest has begun!
The 3 things I wanted but never got was the G.I. Joe Dreadnoks Thunder Machine, the COBRA Night Raven, and the Knight Rider electronic K.I.T.T. car which talked and lit up. All of these toys were Badass!
When the first Stars movie came out in the 70's I instantly fell in love with the Wookie Chewbacca. We were very poor then and my mother got a grant type thing for children in need where she could go to a huge warehouse to toy shop for us 3 kids in my family. I being the oldest was able to come along so if she needed help I was there. I was offered a toy of my choice to keep quiet about all this to the younger two. Not to be included as a Christmas present. I looked all around and came upon a 2 foot stuffed toy of Chewbacca. It was awesome. Even had his utility belt in gray and black plastic across his body. I slept with him for years then we moved and he was gone. I would do almost anything for a almost new like original one. That is my grail.
Finding recalled toys is really awesome. I also collect toys that were to Dangerous for kids. Mostly 60's, 70's, 80's toys. It's an expensive hobby, but well worth it.
I’m a true M.A.S.K. fan and 3 years ago I finaly find the Thunderhawk again. Now I would love to find the Manta and Condor again. Because I had them when I was a child. But my holy grails in that toys line would be the Rhino and Switchblade.
In the mid to late 80s, my best friend had the Shogun Godzilla. It was a lot of fun to play with, especially as a kid who loved Godzilla. I don’t know what became of it; he unfortunately passed away ten years ago. We both had a bunch of cool toys, and he also was one of my Nintendo buddies. Lately, I’ve been picking up a few NES games here and there, and I find myself gravitating to the old games he used to own.
Absolutely. The games, the toys, the movies, these things all tie us to where we once were, and it’s great to be able to tap into that again once in a while. It gives us a little extra smile for the journey.
I used to have most of the MOTU figurines with all the outfits(armours), and weapons. Was definitely my favourite toys growing up. I sure wish I still had them. And I think I used to have that Krakken toy.. Or something similar! It was a fairly large monster with arms you could twist and shape however you wanted.
My buddy I think still has a complete set of five still in original packages for sale in his used book shop. No online presence really and is a cash only business so no electronic payments.
I'm finally getting the " unicorn" of my collection. I don't use the term "Holy grail" the og Ecto 1 from kenner. Been after it since I saw it when I was really little ❤️❤️❤️and obviously I'll make a video
Born in 74. Had Some of these. Definitely wish I still had them. Not for the value, but, the nostalgia...The trash piles all over the United States are actually worth millions if you think of what we all tossed in there. Toys, comics, cards, and on and on...
I just came past this channel, my auntie from Chicago visited us in Australia 1978 & she brought me Shogun Godzilla, I’m now 50 & it’s still in my garage boxed.
For me, the holy grail would be that original die-cast voltron. I remember having one as a kid and now I regret loosing it. Yes nostalgic but also it's so rare it's not even funny.
Scratch the cat. That goddamn TMNT Holy Grail will haunt my dreams forever. Is almost Impossible have it at human prices... heck even the weapons alone are almost 1000$...... But one day... one day.... a man can dream.... Saw his proto on ebay at 80,000$ and i was "ah.......... ohh. Oh."
Honestly as someone who grew up in the 80s and still had access to toys r us I miss the displays of the Tyco racers track that used to hang on the wall as a display if I could get one of those displays that used to hang at toys r us I would be a happy person.
My first Turtles figure was Usagi. I can't for the life of me remember why. Maybe all the turtles were sold out. They were insanely popular at the time as I'm sure you 80s kids remember.
I had all 4 turtles, splinter, shredder, bebop, rock steady, and the turtle van. My grandparents were the coolest. It was all in the closet at my grandfathers until about 2010, and one of my nephews disappeared the entire kit.
I can remember the one thing that I wanted most of all as a kid was this old Batman helmet. I only saw a picture of it once in this set of encyclopedias that my family had from the late 60’s. After the set was released you got a yearly update book and in one of the update books they showed this kid in purplish Batman helmet with cape and utility belt. It was the coolest thing I have ever seen and I’ve never in my life seen it in real life.
I miss my Dino Riders collection. I had all of the original line and most of the later ones. After my parents split, I moved in with my dad and my mom sold all of my old toys because 'you're getting older, you don't need toys'.
I had the Remco toys, they were just as sturdy as MOTU, they also had the AWA and NWA wrestlers same size. The ring set came with the Fabulous ones vs The Road Warriors and Ric Ric Flair Vs Rick Martel with a ref that was just as buff as all the wrestlers. Remco had some solid toys.
All your videos are cool as heck. I do not collect most of the stuff you present in them but the way you talk about them is so damn entertaining. Keep the good work up! Saludos bro.
I was 11 years old when I remember seeing the ALIEN figure on sale at SEARS for around $12 or so. I asked my father to buy it for me and he was like no way. I still remember the stack of boxes of ALIEN figures sitting on a table by the escalators. I should of gotten a paper route and bought one! Damn!
Before realising how big toy collecting was, a few years ago I sold my Thundercat toys which included a driller, Bengali and a Catlair! Probably now worth loads sold separately. I sold them all as a bulk sale for £250!!! The driller along is worth something like £400!!! Was so gutted a few months later when I found out how big the toy community was!
I used to have one of every Ghostbusters toy from the 80s my mom got them at a yard sale for me and a neighbor kid stole them from me before moving I would love to have them again
I had the same experience with one of those DAMN neighborhood kids when they "borrowed" my "Tecmo Bowl" game for the NES and then moved away before I could get it back! I definitely feel your pain on that! Just to let you know: Walmart has been bringing the "Real Ghostbusters" figures back on shelves. It's wierd to see them again after some 30 plus years!
As a kid I had that Godzilla toy. Always was a huge Godzilla fan since childhood. I also had the Rodan toy that went with it. I'm old enough to have been a kid when Star Wars was starting out. I had all the original toys, vehicles, the Death Star playset. Even had the Early Bird figure line. But.... when my family decided to move from California to Michigan, there simply wasn't room for all my toys. So I gave a huge portion of my toys, mostly Star Wars because those vehicles and playsets were huge..... to a friend of mine in the neighborhood. His family didn't have a whole lot of money so hopefully all those toys were put to good use. This is all, of course, long before we knew anything about collectibles. Back then they were just toys. LOL
PLAYSETS!! Omg thank you!! I have been struggling for YEARS trying to come up with what their called! At one point I was searching for "dollhouse for boys" because I couldn't figure out what to call them! lol
Does anyone remember the 80's action figures that were made of this soft sticky body exactly like the quarter machine toy you could get that would usually be a hand ✋ you could whip around and stick to walls. These sticky figures were made out of that except the head, that was hard plastic made to look like a helmet and for the body, it would come with a snap on set of armor to make the figure solid. I remember the one I had was a good guy. His head was white and his sticky body was like a orange brown color. (Edit) I found it! "Bandai’s Tacky Stretchoid Warriors" I miss being a kid
There was no PG-13 in 1979, it came about in 1984 after complaints of Gremlins and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom being too violent and scary for PG.
Yeah, the beginning of the end! Now say simple words like blood, killed, murdered and get you censored on YT. Here's for progress! Nice toys man! TY for sharing
OMG I have been using the gre-gory bat as a Halloween decoration outside for 30 plus years when I set up the yard with my dad Owl. I like to press the button on the back and make the blood juice around. Time to keep that one inside. Whoops 😬 worth $300 I saw.
@@jcruz5050 yeah it's not a big deal. My real shrunken heads are worth the most and have a house full of horror, and even a used casket. The big deal is my father is a Bram Stoker horror award winning novelist, against the best and won best horror writer in Orlando and is up for it again this year. Your two cents aren't worth a dime.
I had several Shoguns but decided to downsize and sold them all cheap. I regained my senses and bought a Raydeen for about 10 times what I sold him for.
Thunderwhip Batman, Green Ranger , Krang w/Android and the OG Optimus Prime were the ones i always wanted as a kid, and despite my collection of extremely rare toys, i only ever found the cheaper, painted-on window version in the wild
The Kenner Alien did hit regular retail release for at least a month or two. Back then there was no internet and outraged Karen's screaming "Think of the Children!" had a much harder go of it. I remember them on the shelves. I wanted one so bad. My mother refused to let one in the house.
That sword was legit! The eye of thundera lit up and it was the toughest sword I ever had. I got it taken away cause my brother went mental with jealousy when he saw it. He tried to take it but when I had the sword of omens in my hand, I became Lion-O. My brother got the sword. Right upside his big ass head! And thus my time with the sword came to an end. I never saw it again...
That is my grail of toys. I wanted it as a kid, but I grew up poor with a single mom, so I mostly just got the figures. I remember my best friend had most of the GI stuff but also never got this one. If I remember correctly, you had to special order it through the mail, and it was never in stores. Back then, it cost something like 500 bucks.
@1sinister80 we got it at toys r us. I think they had 2 in stock. I remember it was alot of money. my bday and Christmas are close so it was a combined gift from my dad/stepmom and mom/step-dad.
Just so you know - the movie Alien was rated "R", and the big Alien figure was the first toy released from an "R" rated movie. That's part of why it was pulled.
Thank you for sharing! Right now I only collect modern toys, I really like going to target and finding liquidated items. I don't mind waiting 50 years 😂
My grandmother used to do a lot of garage sales back in the 80's. She brought the Flagg home once. No instructions so I had no clue how to put it together. I believe we just set the deck down and played with that. I've seen it put together on TH-cam as an adult and know I'd have nowhere to put it as a kid.
@@RisingBean wow , sound like how I was joking with my mom years ago , that she would not find a transformer in the box at the thirt store , she came back with Gen1 megatron in the box for 6.96 , the only thing that was missing was that alive part nobody used .
I don’t have a lot of grails, but the original Alien figure is definitely on the list. I love clash of the titans as well, so the Kraken figure would be sweet. Growing up one of my most wanted toys was the Technodrome. Luckily, I did receive it for Christmas one year. Finding one of those complete again would be amazing, although I’m sure it is out of my price range now.
@EdsRetroGeekOut Update:I said A.W.E. STRIKER, which I did have, but I actually meant the CONQUEST X-30. As a kid, I had the W.H.A.L.E., the S.H.A.R.C., the SKYSTRIKER, and the AWE-STRIKER. Man, to have those back today.
Wanted Holy Grail would be the unproduced 1988 Rockin’ Romance Jem - a few in the box, possibly engineering pilots, have surfaced over the years. But anything from the unproduced 1988 would be great 👍 But I have all kinds of head molds including a Deco Guide and Paintmaster. But since Jem was about music, I’m happy to say I have some of the Jem master tapes and it’s definitely a Holy Grail of the Jem brand.
Thundercats sword- theres the yr 2000 option, almost same features, plus the extending blade feature! Greyskull castle he man- mattel had already reissue it. And with little added features such as “gate opens when you slot in sword of power!” . Also included the Sorceress of Greyskull!
I think a lot differently now since I got into 3d printing. From what I can buy to what I can make. You seem to be holding on to nostalgia and originality. But I think you can't stay in the past. I used to buy a lot of old figures but not any more. Now they seem obsolete from bad articulation to bad scupt. Modern remake is now more my thing. If the price isn't too high.
not really the aim of the video, I do really like the super 7 ultimates tmnt but they're not hard to get a hold of. I do love when customisers start creating toys that are unproduced through 3D printing or even sculpting it themselves from scratch with pics from the prototype. I ordered a couple customs like that can't wait for them to arrive! 🤓
I’m fairly young to remember some of these but when I saw that chest pump action I immediately thought of the Pulsar figure with that same mechanic, my dad kept him in the basement until we moved and he disappeared. Good list.
Any of the shogun warriors figures, had them when i was a kid. My aunt Reiko would bring them back from Japan & all us cousins would play for hours with those thing's, just loved it, the comics were great too
A lot of very cool stuff on your list. And yes, Skull Man ruled!!! At least until mine's leg broke off. His sidekick Snake Man was also awesome but even more prone to breakage.
Bravestarr. That’s my ‘ nostalgia’ white whale. I had almost the entire toyline. Figures with all Accoutrement, the play sets, full-size guns and stuff. Worth a fortune now dammit
No way! I had that Ghostbusters playset. Not the whole thing, the older kid my friends and I hungout with grew out of some of his collectibles. And I remember him giving me the playset with a few things missing. Played with that set a lot haha

The Kenner alien wasn't banned and Alien isn't PG13, it is rated R. It just didn't sell well and was pulled after poor sales and angry parents.
Yes, the PG-13 rating didn't exist yet. It was created in 1984, in response to Temple of Doom and Gremlins.
Know we know and knowing is half the battle ...
@KIRKHAUS 878 it is actually a common misconception that it was banned so it was an easy mistake to make. It just sold really really poorly and there was a large backlash from parents so it was pulled pretty quickly. It ended up in a lot of clearance bits and even then it didn't sell well at all.
Alien was Rated R and the idea of having a toy based on a horror movie was a bit out there at the time.
This was 1979 and not 2021.
The original first pics PG 13 were red dawn and dreamscape
I had Eternia, Snake Mountain, and Castle Greyskull connected together. My mother sold it at a yard sale. I'm sure I will forgive her one day. Maybe.
The perfect setup 🤤
When my family moved back in 89 my grandfather gave all my my he-man toys away
I had Snake Mountain and Castle Greyskull, only knew one kid who had Eternia. That set was a pipe dream for me!
Can't you forgive her by now Mr Ermy? Holding on to grudges after death is dangerous
I have all three, they are epic together, trying to find the Hyve to stick next to it. (Holding breath)
Oh man. I’m mainly a video game collector and “had I known then what I know now” is the story of my life. I feel your pain
holy grail toys :)
The GIJoe aircraft carrier U.S.S Flagg was the most sought after toy when I was a kid.

He is magnificent 🤘
I had a teacher confiscate him and snakes eyes in 3rd grade.
I have the 2003 TMNT sewer lair playset with all turtles and weapons. My daughter in law found it in Alaska. I love that thing.
That’s a huge playset 😁
My holy grail is a blue light cycle from the 1982 tron. Would also like a first gen snakeyes
I just happened to pick up my Transformers holy grails a few months back, a Ravage X-9!
Awesome 🤩
Honestly as someone who grew up in the 80s and still had access to toys r us I miss the displays of the Tyco racers track that used to hang on the wall as a display if I could get one of those displays that used to hang at toys r us I would be a happy person.
My first Turtles figure was Usagi. I can't for the life of me remember why. Maybe all the turtles were sold out. They were insanely popular at the time as I'm sure you 80s kids remember.
I had all 4 turtles, splinter, shredder, bebop, rock steady, and the turtle van.
My grandparents were the coolest. It was all in the closet at my grandfathers until about 2010, and one of my nephews disappeared the entire kit.
I can remember the one thing that I wanted most of all as a kid was this old Batman helmet. I only saw a picture of it once in this set of encyclopedias that my family had from the late 60’s. After the set was released you got a yearly update book and in one of the update books they showed this kid in purplish Batman helmet with cape and utility belt. It was the coolest thing I have ever seen and I’ve never in my life seen it in real life.
I had that bat with the blood chest when I was a kid. Loved that thing, wish I still had it.
I miss my Dino Riders collection. I had all of the original line and most of the later ones. After my parents split, I moved in with my dad and my mom sold all of my old toys because 'you're getting older, you don't need toys'.
Dino riders should make a comeback in a live action movie 🤩
😑😑 wow thats cold, just selling your toys, sorry bud🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️ thats just not cool
My number one would be the Kenner Boba Fett figure
When they discontinued the vibrating harry potter broom, i saw a stack at walmart marked down to 5$ each. Ive got 8 now.
And so you got about $16 bucks in value there buddy. WHY collect IF that's your only reason? You're missing out on a great hobby.
Robocop and ED-209 were my absolute favorite toys. Where you loaded those caps for toy guns in their backs. All my other figures always got 'shot up'😂
Dude. Your entire room or maybe house is the holy shrine for all those holy jewels in the background
Thanks 🤓
You have an amazing passion for these here toys and your presentation is out of this world 🤘
Keep it up!
Thanks 🤓
I had the Remco toys, they were just as sturdy as MOTU, they also had the AWA and NWA wrestlers same size. The ring set came with the Fabulous ones vs The Road Warriors and Ric Ric Flair Vs Rick Martel with a ref that was just as buff as all the wrestlers. Remco had some solid toys.
Remco had awesome toys indeed
Evil Knievel toys, was one of my favorites back in my day and The Bionicman... 😎
Awesome 🤓
The kraken from Clash of the titans was awesome because it was both a playset and an action figure.
I can’t believe you have those ghostbuster toys in the box 👀… Ghostbusters & He-Man really take me back to my very early childhood.
I started picking then up years ago just love the artwork 🤓
I had Gregory Bat and it was my favorite. Long gone now.
My white whale is the U.S.S. Flag from GI Joe.
All your videos are cool as heck. I do not collect most of the stuff you present in them but the way you talk about them is so damn entertaining. Keep the good work up! Saludos bro.
Thanks 🤓
What do you collect?
@@42calking53 Movie props, 80´s and 90`s pre-production stuff and vintage Star Wars memorabilia.
Cobra hydrofoil and gi- joe hovercraft had both.. had!! My holy grails oh and gi-joe dragonfly 👍🏽
Always enjoy your happy go lucky personality. You help make life a little less gray.
Thanks 🤓
Found this channel thanks to Iconicon, think I will stick around! Good work dude!
My personal Grails hands down HOT SPOT and SCRATCH 💯👌🏼👌🏼💎💎🤘🏼💀🤘🏼
$300... later
Awesome 😏 but which one is the favorite???
The bloody bat 🦇 for sure!!!
I was really into The Silverhawks, M.A.S.K and Bone Age back in the 80's
Yes..M.A.S.K. and the Silverhawks! That Really takes me back!
I was 11 years old when I remember seeing the ALIEN figure on sale at SEARS for around $12 or so. I asked my father to buy it for me and he was like no way. I still remember the stack of boxes of ALIEN figures sitting on a table by the escalators. I should of gotten a paper route and bought one! Damn!
Should have bought em all 😁
Before realising how big toy collecting was, a few years ago I sold my Thundercat toys which included a driller, Bengali and a Catlair! Probably now worth loads sold separately. I sold them all as a bulk sale for £250!!!
The driller along is worth something like £400!!! Was so gutted a few months later when I found out how big the toy community was!
Yeah driller, stinger, tongue o saurus all those are quite sought after 🤓 such a good toyline
I would like to have the original run of the spawn toys.
My holy grail WAS Devastator from Transformers. Thankfully Walmart’s reissue satisfied my want.
Now it’s a G1 Megatron or Shockwave.
Mine is a g1 omega supreme
I had the Devastator gift set when I was a kid. Also received the G.I Joe Terror Drome the same Christmas!
@@jimreed2138 that must have been a kid’s dream christmas
I still have a G1 Shockwave. It was the last Christmas present my grandfather gave me before he died.
I used to have one of every Ghostbusters toy from the 80s my mom got them at a yard sale for me and a neighbor kid stole them from me before moving I would love to have them again
I had the same experience with one of those DAMN neighborhood kids when they "borrowed" my "Tecmo Bowl" game for the NES and then moved away before I could get it back! I definitely feel your pain on that! Just to let you know: Walmart has been bringing the "Real Ghostbusters" figures back on shelves. It's wierd to see them again after some 30 plus years!
I HAD JETFIRE back in the day until I sold all my Transformers. Should never have sold it.
As a kid I had that Godzilla toy. Always was a huge Godzilla fan since childhood. I also had the Rodan toy that went with it. I'm old enough to have been a kid when Star Wars was starting out. I had all the original toys, vehicles, the Death Star playset. Even had the Early Bird figure line. But.... when my family decided to move from California to Michigan, there simply wasn't room for all my toys. So I gave a huge portion of my toys, mostly Star Wars because those vehicles and playsets were huge..... to a friend of mine in the neighborhood. His family didn't have a whole lot of money so hopefully all those toys were put to good use. This is all, of course, long before we knew anything about collectibles. Back then they were just toys. LOL
PLAYSETS!! Omg thank you!! I have been struggling for YEARS trying to come up with what their called! At one point I was searching for "dollhouse for boys" because I couldn't figure out what to call them! lol
Does anyone remember the 80's action figures that were made of this soft sticky body exactly like the quarter machine toy you could get that would usually be a hand ✋ you could whip around and stick to walls. These sticky figures were made out of that except the head, that was hard plastic made to look like a helmet and for the body, it would come with a snap on set of armor to make the figure solid.
I remember the one I had was a good guy. His head was white and his sticky body was like a orange brown color.
(Edit)
I found it! "Bandai’s Tacky Stretchoid Warriors"
I miss being a kid
Awesome i’ll have to check those out 🤩
They would walk down the window?
I had those!
There was no PG-13 in 1979, it came about in 1984 after complaints of Gremlins and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom being too violent and scary for PG.
Yeah, the beginning of the end! Now say simple words like blood, killed, murdered and get you censored on YT. Here's for progress! Nice toys man! TY for sharing
OMG I have been using the gre-gory bat as a Halloween decoration outside for 30 plus years when I set up the yard with my dad Owl. I like to press the button on the back and make the blood juice around. Time to keep that one inside. Whoops 😬 worth $300 I saw.
That’s some expensive decorating 🤣
$300? Big deal. Have fun with it! Lol
@@jcruz5050 yeah it's not a big deal. My real shrunken heads are worth the most and have a house full of horror, and even a used casket. The big deal is my father is a Bram Stoker horror award winning novelist, against the best and won best horror writer in Orlando and is up for it again this year. Your two cents aren't worth a dime.
I feel special to be the original owner of a Shogun Godzilla and Raideen. I feel extremely lucky after watching.
I had several Shoguns but decided to downsize and sold them all cheap. I regained my senses and bought a Raydeen for about 10 times what I sold him for.
Thunderwhip Batman, Green Ranger , Krang w/Android and the OG Optimus Prime were the ones i always wanted as a kid, and despite my collection of extremely rare toys, i only ever found the cheaper, painted-on window version in the wild
Nice 😁
The Kenner Alien did hit regular retail release for at least a month or two. Back then there was no internet and outraged Karen's screaming "Think of the Children!" had a much harder go of it. I remember them on the shelves. I wanted one so bad. My mother refused to let one in the house.
The Simpson's, Reverend Lovejoy's wife!! Such a prophetic show, back in the day anyway!
I remember seeing a 7 ft. stack of them for $5 a piece.
The PG-13 rating was first used in 1984, long after the Alien toys were released and thus, the movie couldn't have had a PG-13 rating.
Alien was R when released in the USA. With almost an X rating but they cut some violence
PG-13 didn't exist as an MPAA rating at the time of release for the movie "Alien."
That sword was legit! The eye of thundera lit up and it was the toughest sword I ever had. I got it taken away cause my brother went mental with jealousy when he saw it. He tried to take it but when I had the sword of omens in my hand, I became Lion-O. My brother got the sword. Right upside his big ass head! And thus my time with the sword came to an end. I never saw it again...
I had the DinoRiders T-Rex back in the 80’s as a kid, should still somewhere in the attic of my parents :)
Awesome 🦖
I'm 43 and still have my G.I.Joe aircraft carrier
Awesome 🤩
That is my grail of toys. I wanted it as a kid, but I grew up poor with a single mom, so I mostly just got the figures. I remember my best friend had most of the GI stuff but also never got this one. If I remember correctly, you had to special order it through the mail, and it was never in stores. Back then, it cost something like 500 bucks.
@1sinister80 we got it at toys r us. I think they had 2 in stock. I remember it was alot of money. my bday and Christmas are close so it was a combined gift from my dad/stepmom and mom/step-dad.
Just so you know - the movie Alien was rated "R", and the big Alien figure was the first toy released from an "R" rated movie. That's part of why it was pulled.
Damn robo skull That's on my list now
Yeah it looks cool doesn’t it 🤪
I still have the Kraken, Godzilla, Alien, GI Joe HQ, Rodan, and the SDF-1. Such cool memories.
Thank you for sharing! Right now I only collect modern toys, I really like going to target and finding liquidated items. I don't mind waiting 50 years 😂
I had a chance to get the USS flag back in the day for dirt cheap, but its was just too damn big .
My grandmother used to do a lot of garage sales back in the 80's. She brought the Flagg home once. No instructions so I had no clue how to put it together. I believe we just set the deck down and played with that. I've seen it put together on TH-cam as an adult and know I'd have nowhere to put it as a kid.
@@RisingBean wow , sound like how I was joking with my mom years ago , that she would not find a transformer in the box at the thirt store , she came back with Gen1 megatron in the box for 6.96 , the only thing that was missing was that alive part nobody used .
Cool stories 🤩
@@EdsRetroGeekOut when she got it in the house , she told me I should left it in the damn store because you had no faith in me lol.
I don’t have a lot of grails, but the original Alien figure is definitely on the list. I love clash of the titans as well, so the Kraken figure would be sweet. Growing up one of my most wanted toys was the Technodrome. Luckily, I did receive it for Christmas one year. Finding one of those complete again would be amazing, although I’m sure it is out of my price range now.
they're out there just gotta wait for the right price to pop up 🤓
I would have thought the Shogun Warriors' Rodan would have been more grail-able than Godzilla.
He’s real rare indeed but not on my list 🤓
I wish I still had my entire GI Joe toy collection, which was a lot.
We lost so many toys 😅
@EdsRetroGeekOut
Update:I said A.W.E. STRIKER, which I did have, but I actually meant the CONQUEST X-30.
As a kid, I had the W.H.A.L.E., the S.H.A.R.C., the SKYSTRIKER, and the AWE-STRIKER.
Man, to have those back today.
I also had the Thundercats lair. I vividly remember playing with that thing!
And the sword of omens!
Geez I had ALL of these as a kid. Wish I knew how much they’d b worth...smh
Dude, no you didn't. If you are serious, you were the rich kid no one liked.
Wanted Holy Grail would be the unproduced 1988 Rockin’ Romance Jem - a few in the box, possibly engineering pilots, have surfaced over the years. But anything from the unproduced 1988 would be great 👍 But I have all kinds of head molds including a Deco Guide and Paintmaster. But since Jem was about music, I’m happy to say I have some of the Jem master tapes and it’s definitely a Holy Grail of the Jem brand.
I love the tongue action - definitely what she said
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Haha .
Super Gobot Nightfright is my all time whale grail. Such an awesome and rare figure. Hell that whole last wave of Super Gobots was incredible.
Gotta check that one out
Thundercats sword- theres the yr 2000 option, almost same features, plus the extending blade feature!
Greyskull castle he man- mattel had already reissue it. And with little added features such as “gate opens when you slot in sword of power!” . Also included the Sorceress of Greyskull!
I think a lot differently now since I got into 3d printing. From what I can buy to what I can make.
You seem to be holding on to nostalgia and originality. But I think you can't stay in the past.
I used to buy a lot of old figures but not any more. Now they seem obsolete from bad articulation to bad scupt. Modern remake is now more my thing. If the price isn't too high.
not really the aim of the video, I do really like the super 7 ultimates tmnt but they're not hard to get a hold of. I do love when customisers start creating toys that are unproduced through 3D printing or even sculpting it themselves from scratch with pics from the prototype. I ordered a couple customs like that can't wait for them to arrive! 🤓
I’m fairly young to remember some of these but when I saw that chest pump action I immediately thought of the Pulsar figure with that same mechanic, my dad kept him in the basement until we moved and he disappeared. Good list.
Pulsar i need to look into that 🤔
You're right, the Dino-Riders are SO brittle. I have the T-Rex, but have had to glue various bits of the harness together.
Any of the shogun warriors figures, had them when i was a kid. My aunt Reiko would bring them back from Japan & all us cousins would play for hours with those thing's, just loved it, the comics were great too
That’s awesome 🤩
My white whales would be Fortress of Fangs and Snake Vs Mongoose Drag Racing set.
A lot of very cool stuff on your list. And yes, Skull Man ruled!!! At least until mine's leg broke off. His sidekick Snake Man was also awesome but even more prone to breakage.
Too bad the bootlegs break and deteriorate so easily but hey it’s what makes them rare 😅
One of the things I want to get is the McNugget buddies to put out on Halloween.
Australia even had glow in the dark ones!
The solid gold lego boba fett, I’m pretty sure that only one was made
Bravestarr. That’s my ‘ nostalgia’ white whale. I had almost the entire toyline. Figures with all Accoutrement, the play sets, full-size guns and stuff. Worth a fortune now dammit
Aw yeaaah
No way! I had that Ghostbusters playset. Not the whole thing, the older kid my friends and I hungout with grew out of some of his collectibles. And I remember him giving me the playset with a few things missing. Played with that set a lot haha
