Finding toys from my childhood is incredibly important to me. Years ago, due to illness, I lost a bunch of my memory. Very slowly things come back to me but when I see a childhood toy it is like a major rush of memory and emotions. Very therapeutic.
Those TMNT Ooze canisters were in abundance back in the 90's. Like literally left on shelves for years where I lived. Never would've guessed they'd be worth around $400 today.
@@EdsRetroGeekOut the display would've been awesome to have! Yeah, they had literally displays stacked on each other when I was a kid. It must not have been the most commonly bought item in my area or something. Never would've thought though they'd go for hundreds today!
@_callmeale1082_ we never know with these things 😅 remember when episode 1 came out and everyone bought multiples thinking it would be worth more later
Holy Grails for me... Coming in at number 3 simply because its nostalgic... Star Wars Jawa's... Really that simple! Some good old Cloth Cape Jawa's with weapons... I dunno what it is about these little guys, but when my mother got me the UK Sand crawler Playset - A Cardboard Backdrop with a plastic Lift... I was OBSESSED with these little guys! I would love to have about 10 of them... They would not even need to be on card as long as they were OG... And yeah, Most of mine are not singular - G1 Transformers... PERIOD!!! And lets throw Got Bots in too (Robo Machines as they were called here in the UK) - They were very underrated, OK! Cy-Kill was Meh! but the Harley Davidson Night Strider was FREAKING ACE!!! And it WHOOPED Hasbro's offerings!!!! Much as I love my Transformers, Go-Bots actually did have better quite frequently! And the Top 1 is A BOARD GAME BELIEVE IT OR NOT! Called "Klonks and Klones" here in the UK... I always wanted this board game so I could try and get to play games with my sisters... It looked fun but my mother convinced me to spend my Birthday Money on more Transformers (I got some more Dinobots so I am not complaining! I loved the Dinobots!) I still love Board Games now but have no one to play them with! LOL!
i can appreciate the rarity of these toys and the desire of collectors to get the most obscure and rare items, but i personally have no desire to obtain things simply because they are rare. my own personal grail items are metlar and d’compose from the inhumanoids. my brother and i had these as kids and i have fond memories of playing with them. they are what i consider expensive but not outside the realm of reason. i’m not a completionist so im not looking for boxed/sealed/carded toys, loose is perfectly fine with me. i’m hoping to get at least one of these in the upcoming year.
Those are perfect, i was able to pick up tendrill this year and he is pure perfection. There’s something about the design of the inhumanoid monsters that just works for every collector
Yeah i agree most of the lines of figures I'm collecting are loose and that's good enough for me a lot of these vintage figures are way to expensive or hard to find mint on card in the wild
Loose is the best tough but can appreciate the art and the packaging for a lot of these, a tmnt on card is pure nostalgia for me checking out the back of what else is available, the artwork and the copy explaining what the figure does on the file card is all part of it
I had Rodan as a kid and it was awesome the wings flapped you could grab action figures with his claws (mostly star wars figures) and yes it was HUGE!!! Man i wish i still had that beast.
My holy grail toys would be Starship Trooper toys from the 90's, when I was a kid one of my friends dad had bought and brought them to his kids from america and I was so jealous, now as an adult I love how absurd it is that that film had a toy line aimed at kids, 90's was a wild and weird decade.
@@EdsRetroGeekOut I love the bug designs, so alien and so cool. I also love the boxy dropship, I hope I'll get them someday and be able to build a nice display diorama base and backdrop from them.
Another awesome video. Id have to say my grails are Wrestler and Gladiator knockoffs made by Eboneen. Its the thrill of the chase coupled with having no clue how many different ones are out there.
That’s another great thing about those ko’s whenever you think I have this one already… this will be great for trade! Damn it’s a variant 🤣 or indeed you never know how many different characters came out
Oooft some eye watering prices there Ed, and a few lines I’ve actually never heard of so really nice to learn something new. My grails aren’t as obscure or pricey as some of those featured but my top 3 would be………… 1. Sectaurs the Hyve 2. MASK Laser command 3. Palitoy Death Star playset
Your collection room is KILLER. I could spend all day looking through it all and be happy as a clam. Also Ed, I was pretty fond of your old retro-geekout theme music. The jazzy piano muzak is okay, but the old synth music was like your personal theme to me
Ed totally agree with Rodan would love to pick one of those up some day.. I have a original shogun warrior Godzilla.. that goes great with him. Love the videos keep up the great work👊
The garloo is a statuesque art . Eddie your videos are a time machine seeing stuff I forgot about . Being able too relive memory is therapy. Keep being bad ass you . Following your real heart
Hello Ed,I hope you had an enjoyable Christmas. Lack of snow here in Vermont plus other stuff makes me long for my younger days. Parents,best friend no longer here. Those classic toys,games,fun times. So thankful for my wife,memories for fifty three years and channels like yours. Take care from Vermont.🙏👍🎮🕹🤓🌲
Excellent video and good list! My most wanted is currently the Bandai Movie Monster Series retail release Titanosaurus figure. Thankfully Bandai re-released the other version of him recently, but I'd still like the original retail release since it was different.
Great list of grails but let's talk about that shirt ... one of my favorite bands of all time. Wish i could have seen them back in Prayers Upon Deaf Ears and Dead Man Walking days.
Saw them a couple weeks ago together with liar and they were still heavy and ferocious 😅 that was a wild show. I wish I had gotten into that whole scene a bit earlier as i’m so close to it but where I live it was more of a punk rock scene
1. A wonderbread / savage he-man found for cheap at a flea market! 2. A prototype rocky gijoe figure I will never have as only a few got out and they are super expensive! 3. Filmation ghostbusters hqs. 4. Transformer hq playset (the ark). A lesser known 80s playset for transformers. 5. Super gobots hqs. (same as transformers) 5. Any cool action figure! Hey I'm not picky! Thanks for the fun video.
They thought they did have it in fact rocky showed up in a marvel comic! Then turns out they didn't have all the rights. Oops. Some prototypes got out as well as card art but again they are super expensive and really rare. Fans have made custom ones over the years, however. Also, yes both transformers and gobots hqs are cardboard playsets!
Great grail video buddy! Love to see the fortress of fangs in your collection! 😍 I too acquired a couple of my grails this year.. I'm in need some new grails to hunt for, I guess 🤔
@@EdsRetroGeekOut a complete Dino riders brontosaurus, a tmnt technodrome, serpentera from the mmpr, the forgotten' sewer turtles, g1 combiner superion 😁, it was a good year
@@EdsRetroGeekOut Thank you, I have few of my original Shoguns Warriors childhood, but also Star Wars kenner, hasbro Gi Joe, and my favorite was the very small series of mattel Clash of the Titans, but lots of other random stuff too. 🙂
Another cool video. Another year of collecting fun 😃 I'm still looking for the Omega Chaos Effect Bull T.rex including the human figure in the "box". Hope to score it in 2024. It would almost complete my collection 😊
Number one for me is Cyborg from Kenner Super Powers. Super Powers is a top 5 toy line for me and I am 4 figures from a complete collection but Cyborg price has gotten absolutely insane. I do think there is a high probability that we get the Giants as a Mattel Creations exclusive soon
That Ghostbusters house playset would be amazing. My grails would include completing the star Wars last 17 the sandcrawler and some of the palitoy variants. Outside star wars: Action Force Roboskull, Jurassic Park Headquarters, Indiana Jones german truck, Robin hood Sherwood forest playset, and Gi Joe checkpoint Alpha.
Always great watching your videos Ed! My personals are a complete Dino riders T-Rex, LJN Tiger Sharks, and a complete Terrordrome. Had some Tigersharks as a kid but always wanted the Terrordrome and the T-Rex
Hey Ed I actually purchased recently sealed gutter on card. The card is different to shown in your video because it is the much rarer series 2 release where all the muscle mutts had a voice box and button installed so they bark. It is the only known version of this gutter to exist on card currently and I have only ever seen sugartooth loose with the voice box
@EdsRetroGeekOut Have 4 of the villains of Toxic. That Apocalypse attackcopter would be awesome To hang with fishing mine, make it a floating pendent. And I would totally put Giggle eyed on top of my bassdrum for the kit. Got me fired up bro. Great editing
I had rodan as a kid, i even have some Polaroids of me opening it up on my 5th birthday. Rodan, shogun godzilla and the remco 9in monsters are some of my earliest toy memories
Rodan looks awesome. But I’d love to have the 2 MOTU giants for my MOTU collection more than anything I think. I don’t own an eternia either unfortunately
Very cool list! I've been watching your videos for a while now. I discovered you and your channel through the attic invaders episodes on Not Another Retro Channel. Its cool to see some of the variants and similarities from your part of the world and find it awesome you travel here to the US to toy hunt as well. look forward to watching more!
Nice video mate, really like that Rodan the most on your list. For my collection, my top 3 grails are the following; 1. 1999 Star Wars TPM Queen's Royal Naboo Starship 2. 1997 Jurassic Park Lost World Mobile Command Centre 3. 1993 Jurassic Park Command Compound Centre All 3 are large playsets to an extent. All 3 are the last items I need to complete these toy lines also. I've just never seen them in the wild or on original release
#1 Galactic fighter: Pegasaurus. (I had this when I was a kid and used my MOTU figures for it.) What a magnificent creature!my mom threw it out because it was a bit broken.....😢 This is for now the only toy that hunts my dreams and wallet... In broken form without horns and wings it is still very pricey. Even when it's missing a leg!
I found one last summer without the wings at a fleamarket that was a good day! I love how well it works with motu like you said. The design of the dragon is a bit colorful for motu but still very epic looking. Great pick
Managed to obtain my only grail piece a month or two back. Gormongus from the Space Monkeys toy line. Didn't think it actually existed! Great vid as always 👊
@@EdsRetroGeekOut thanks dude, not a figure I ever thought i'd even see in person. Got all the ships and several figures, so not complete but definitely doable now I have Gormongus. I like things minty fresh and it's hard finding these guys in the UK, so the hunt continues! 😁
Finally grabbed my number 1 grail today! The 1995 Batman Forever Batcave. It is missing some of the pieces, but I was able to get most of them in one lot. The thing is massive Lol.
Amazing video!! Always fun to watch!! My top 3 grails are 1. dragon ball my funky pet line. 2. Saint Seiya, presentos (mailaway) and 3. Thundercats Tongue-saurus 🙃 haha it’s going to be an interesting hunt! Good luck on your hunt brother 🤙🏽🙌🏽
Must of the stuff I want is quite accessible but Ulysses 31 stuff is definitely on my list. It's just sooooo expensive. I am a huge fan of the cartoon, it's one of my earliest memories.
I see some ulysses toys since we’re close to france but I wonder if it’s the same thing like with saint seye where we got a different version of the toy.. diecast vs plastic
@@EdsRetroGeekOutloads from that era/neck of the woods. Early Born From Pain, Jane, Drift, Congress, Liar (which I also just saw in another of your videos haha), Nyari, Kickback etc etc etc
My top three grails right now would be: Fort Kerium Playset (I had an opportunity to buy it in the day and my dad talked me out of it), the Pee-Wee Herman Playhouse line and figures, and the rest of the Inspector Gadget figures on card.
I have a set of the small TMNT Trolls - I can remember buying these under my own duress. There would have been absolutely no way I'd have bought the large ones, even if I had seen them!
I'd love to see your top 10 TMNT grail video! Make it happen! I have an ooze canister and all the universal monsters. I think that's as graily as I got
@EdsRetroGeekOut I made a tiktok with my collection of those and doing a quick run through of all phrases with captions. You're more than welcome to use the footage
I've been looking for the Star Wars Droid Factory Corran Horn and Power of the Force Kyle Katarn. I don't collect seriously but am a huge Star Wars fan and like those characters.
Mine is MISB G1 Transformers Headmaster Weirdwolf. It’s my favorite transformer and although it’s not a popular toy it’s my grail. You don’t see them often just because it’s not something people are actively trying to find.
My Top 3 holy grails are USS FLaag from GI Joe because it just looks so damn cool. Number 2 is Castle Grey Skull from OG MOTU and number 1 is Millennium Falcon from POTF2. I don't chase big toys often but these three I'd kill to have.
Yeah, this is another of those punches to the heart for me. I HAD a Tiamat as a kid! In fact, I think I got it as a clearance sale for, like, $3 or something! Probably dumped it at a yard sale a few years later for a couple bucks. $3000 for collectors now? Yeah. That one hurts.
I don’t have the slime but I have one of the glow in the dark turtles from the canister that I found at a flea market. It was 50c 👌 they are out there!
i dig these top ten information ridden videos, how about a top 10 disappointing purchases that you regret how hard you chased after? We all have those let down purchases it would be interesting to see yours.
What’s funny about the muscle much swine, is that back in the early 2000s or actually when it was the year 2000 for me, I found the leader which was a German Shepherd with a jeans, jacket and trashcan bone shield and I’ve had that guy in my collection through college and up to now, so I’m just glad I never gave him away at all so it’s nice that I actually have a rare of scare character still on my shelf. Lol ironically and sad to say because I’m dating myself. It was in a KB toys store that was not located in a shopping mall but in a shopping plaza. It was one of those rare KB toys that was not exclusively in a mall that I found this character, as well as other character and Deadstock line stuff but still it is nice to remember that character another things.
My top 5 toy grails... 1. The Hyve Sectaurs Playset 2. The Fortress of Fangs D&D Playset 3. Kenner DC Super Powers - Cyborg 4. Thundercats Tongue-a-saurus 5. Cystar Crystal Palace
I like the Nightmare Warriors and Pirates of the Galaxseas too. The figures I'd most like to have that I don't currently have are Mego Black Hole Old Bob and S.T.A.R.
Cool top 10, i hope toxic crusaders gets a reissue, and Dino Riders,& M.A.S.K, i would like to see Battle Beasts and Star Com. Come back too. Do you Remember ZOIDES. ? 🎄
The toxic crusader toys are being reissued by trick or treat studios, they’ve done toxie and now they’re popping out some unproduced ones. I remember zoids indeed, got a small one in box but the big t rex is for sure on my hunt list as well 🤓
@@EdsRetroGeekOut cool I got the T-Rex for Christmas back in 87 or 88 for Christmas I remember the little gold pilot for it. I remember my stepdad helped me make it. Good memories, I will look out new toxic crusader toys. Thanks Ed. 👍
I don't collect the any GhostBusters toys, but I do collect haunted house toys. I would be thrilled to find just the shell in decent condition for displaying with my Haunted House playsets/toys collection. Got very close once.
I don't know if this counts as it's not an action figure but a really rare figure was the Walking with Dinosaurs Ornithocheirus. There are only about 7 of them known by collectors and there might have only been 30 ish of them ever released as they were only available as a giveaway through a magazine in the early 2000s in the UK. I think one has sold for around £400 before on Ebay and i know of one that went for around £700 as well.
@@EdsRetroGeekOutthat is a great idea! Tough list for sure! Just a favorites list not grails. Antrax, Monty Moose, hothead, Mer Dude all great figures! Ray Filet too. Leatherhead is a favorite character of mine but never was too crazy about his og figure. Maybe a top 20 list would be better lol
I still want mer dude and antrax as top 10 tmnt wants too! still have my OG leatherhead and ray. but there is a very recent off brand knock off of leatherhead. I think there are 2 versions and its expensive, but extremely detailed and high quality!
@@Binx345menow I was just listing favorites. I still own my Antrax & Merdude(& scratch while I’m at it) from my childhood. Love those toys & characters. I’m aware of the leatherhead looking fig you speak of. My favorite leatherhead fig is necas toon version. Figs I wish had in my tmnt line are shoate, the regular fig version of Krang android body(I have the big one), & tyrano shredder
I have done a top 10 on my favorites before but looking at the most desired is gonna be tougher there’s a lot of people paying up for these! Mer dude is epic!
Clash of the Titans Kraken because it was my favorite movie as a kid, and Medusa gave me my first nightmare. I followed her as she slithered through the house and vanished into my grandmother's closet. Super creepy for a four year old. I have most of the figures and some additions of my own like Pegasus and giant scorpions. Would love a complete set.
Gotta say my grail toy was the Kraken from Clash of the Titans…was able to get the whole collection a while ago since there weren’t too many items made by Mattel
Yeah, to say that Filmation's Ghostbusters got overshadowed by tRGb and didn't get the love it disurved is an understatement. It had a fun cartoon and a cool toyline and that playset is an overlooked gem. I only have one real grail, (and speaking of MotU) it's the EU He-man & Skeletor two-pack with cassette. This one easily sets you back a couple 1.000 bucks but in a way that's my idea of a grail piece. That one piece that you know is out there, that you've seen, but basically is (In this case price-wise) nigh elusive. That one piece that you are satisfied with knowing it exists, having already seen it and where you've already made peace with the thought that you may never own it.
My Top 3 that I really want would be 1. 80's Masters of the Universe because of the special memories HE-MAN and Battle Cat as well as Castle Grayskull brought to me when I was a child. 2. The Jurassic toys because T-Rex is a favorite of mine and I really enjoy the Dinosaurs. Finally 3. STAR TREK because I am a Science Fiction Fan of the original Crew of the Enterprise Captain Kirk, Spock, Scott, McCoy, Uhura, Sulu, and Chekov. Live Long And Prosper 🖖😎💖
I just sold a He-Man ooze container on Ebay for $60 a few days ago the label had water damage but was still readable.Funny thing is mine was the ONLY empty one listed on Ebay and I feel I should have asked $99.99 for it but with what I have in it and what I got out of it I am happy though sad to see it go since I doubt I will ever own another.Selling items on Ebay that have never been listed before seems to be kind of my thing.Sold two Funko items where none had ever been listed before sold the only listed opened He-Man slim can and now I have an EMSON ball that has never been listed or sold on Ebay before and another EMSON ball where only 1 other had been listed or sold.I seen your Wonder Bread He-Man and was looking at that grail yesterday and man that thing is super expensive a true grail.
@@EdsRetroGeekOut Ahhh yea I really did not think that they only go back about a year or so. It's the Zeke Zombie ball I have it listed at $199.99 but think I have a buyer at $150.00 just waiting on them to get back to me.
But, because they are so weird, it gives me hope that I’ll find them at a thrift store or a yard sale. Just looking at them no one would assume they’re worth a few hundred dollars!

That’s a nice looking one congrats! 👌 How long have you been collecting?
@@EdsRetroGeekOut thank you! It was pricey, but I figured I could finally give myself that Christmas present... collecting for 43 years
@holeymattress8128 that must be a great collection, are you all in on the shogun warriors? Or which other lines are you collecting?
@@EdsRetroGeekOut Thank you, I have few of my original Shoguns Warriors childhood, but also Star Wars kenner, hasbro Gi Joe, and my favorite was the very small series of mattel Clash of the Titans, but lots of other random stuff too. 🙂
@holeymattress8128 clash of the titans i need to look out for more 😁 such a fun small line
Great video ed! Love the filmation ghostbusters playset!! Can’t wait for the new toy room tour video !🤩
I gotta start filming that 😅
Another cool video. Another year of collecting fun 😃
I'm still looking for the Omega Chaos Effect Bull T.rex including the human figure in the "box". Hope to score it in 2024. It would almost complete my collection 😊
Is that the big orange and blue colored one? Only saw one of those befoee
@@EdsRetroGeekOut yes that's the one! There comes a scared purple human figure with it in a cage.
Number one for me is Cyborg from Kenner Super Powers. Super Powers is a top 5 toy line for me and I am 4 figures from a complete collection but Cyborg price has gotten absolutely insane. I do think there is a high probability that we get the Giants as a Mattel Creations exclusive soon
Been really loving the super powers line as well, i hope to find the hall of justice someday 😅
That Ghostbusters house playset would be amazing. My grails would include completing the star Wars last 17 the sandcrawler and some of the palitoy variants. Outside star wars: Action Force Roboskull, Jurassic Park Headquarters, Indiana Jones german truck, Robin hood Sherwood forest playset, and Gi Joe checkpoint Alpha.
Roboskull is perfection! How long have you been collecting?
outstanding list!🎉happy new year!
Happy new year 🙌
Always great watching your videos Ed! My personals are a complete Dino riders T-Rex, LJN Tiger Sharks, and a complete Terrordrome. Had some Tigersharks as a kid but always wanted the Terrordrome and the T-Rex
Tiger sharks 👌
Hey Ed I actually purchased recently sealed gutter on card. The card is different to shown in your video because it is the much rarer series 2 release where all the muscle mutts had a voice box and button installed so they bark. It is the only known version of this gutter to exist on card currently and I have only ever seen sugartooth loose with the voice box
The muscle mutts plot thickens 🤯 that’s amazing
Awesome vid!.. I live pretty close to Kane County toy show.. great to know what to look out for!
Love that toy show and i’ve seen some of these there but you can’t buy everything 😅 which one would you wanna see at the toy show?
@EdsRetroGeekOut Have 4 of the villains of Toxic. That Apocalypse attackcopter would be awesome To hang with fishing mine, make it a floating pendent. And I would totally put Giggle eyed on top of my bassdrum for the kit. Got me fired up bro. Great editing
Fishing line.
I’m thinking of popping up my tmnt blimp like that! Gigglee will look good on any drum riser 😜👌
@@EdsRetroGeekOut Most groovy lean, mean, and green!
Great list! Would love to find a ghost command or gigglee eye monster someday.
Nice 😁
Right now i am collecting barnyard commandoes
Great line, somewhat odd for playmates but i like those wacky designs 😜 how far are you into collecting?
Good to see some different angles of the toy room so we can see what you have
Thanks buddy been working on that room for over a year now 😅
Damn you Ed for making me go down the Gigglee Eye's rabbit hole!! Never heard of this until now, and now I NEED one. So yeah, that's #1 on my list. 😅
It’s epic right 😁🙌
I have the yellow one! I need to go to my parents and root through their storage shed.
I had rodan as a kid, i even have some Polaroids of me opening it up on my 5th birthday. Rodan, shogun godzilla and the remco 9in monsters are some of my earliest toy memories
Awesome video man, my main grails for this year are the Yong Da toys Conan line have only seen a few sets
Rodan looks awesome. But I’d love to have the 2 MOTU giants for my MOTU collection more than anything I think. I don’t own an eternia either unfortunately
The motu giants are pretty sweet and imposing next to your other figures 🤓
Oh dear, sweet Muscle Mutts!!!
😅 i wonder if any kid had a whole run of these and now they’re waiting in attic to get popped out for a garage sale …
@@EdsRetroGeekOut good lord, can you imagine! 😍😂
@FroggyFlips i mean it should be a probability 😅 I hope I can spot a couple more during my next usa trip but i think you’ll bump into some more soon!
Very cool list! I've been watching your videos for a while now. I discovered you and your channel through the attic invaders episodes on Not Another Retro Channel. Its cool to see some of the variants and similarities from your part of the world and find it awesome you travel here to the US to toy hunt as well. look forward to watching more!
Awesome, thank you!
Nice video mate, really like that Rodan the most on your list.
For my collection, my top 3 grails are the following;
1. 1999 Star Wars TPM Queen's Royal Naboo Starship
2. 1997 Jurassic Park Lost World Mobile Command Centre
3. 1993 Jurassic Park Command Compound Centre
All 3 are large playsets to an extent. All 3 are the last items I need to complete these toy lines also. I've just never seen them in the wild or on original release
The JP playsets are so much fun 😁 great picks!
#1 Galactic fighter: Pegasaurus. (I had this when I was a kid and used my MOTU figures for it.) What a magnificent creature!my mom threw it out because it was a bit broken.....😢
This is for now the only toy that hunts my dreams and wallet...
In broken form without horns and wings it is still very pricey. Even when it's missing a leg!
I found one last summer without the wings at a fleamarket that was a good day! I love how well it works with motu like you said. The design of the dragon is a bit colorful for motu but still very epic looking. Great pick
What!? Thats great! I truly hope to find one in the near future.. it's hard to find in the Netherlands...
I found a giant mutating Don complete at Savers for $4.00 a couple of weeks ago !
🤘😁👍
Wuuuut! 😁 that’s a good deal
Managed to obtain my only grail piece a month or two back. Gormongus from the Space Monkeys toy line. Didn't think it actually existed! Great vid as always 👊
That’s an obscure line epic that you found him! Have you completed that collection?
@@EdsRetroGeekOut thanks dude, not a figure I ever thought i'd even see in person. Got all the ships and several figures, so not complete but definitely doable now I have Gormongus. I like things minty fresh and it's hard finding these guys in the UK, so the hunt continues! 😁
@bray_howndell the thrill of the hunt keeps us all going 🙌
@@EdsRetroGeekOut so true! Have a great new year ed and keep up the awesome work! 💥
@bray_howndell thank you sir!
So I noticed in your background a box with Mario characters then one under it with Donkey Kong Country on it. What are they? Love those franchises!
They’s 80s and 90s mario pvc toys and other merch 🤓
One of my grails is an Irwin Oozer - obscure line that you don’t see often, and super expensive on Ebay when they pop up.
Sweet line, reminds me of that 70s ooze it toy that’s like a stretch armstrong but also with ooze popping out of his eyes 😜
Great video & happy new year ed
Thanks buddy
Klasse Video mal wieder, absolut unterhaltsam
Danke & liebe Grüße ✌😊
Thanks buddy 🙌
Finally grabbed my number 1 grail today! The 1995 Batman Forever Batcave. It is missing some of the pieces, but I was able to get most of them in one lot. The thing is massive Lol.
All those batman playsets are pretty sweet looking 🙌
Amazing video!! Always fun to watch!! My top 3 grails are 1. dragon ball my funky pet line. 2. Saint Seiya, presentos (mailaway) and 3. Thundercats Tongue-saurus 🙃 haha it’s going to be an interesting hunt! Good luck on your hunt brother 🤙🏽🙌🏽
Great top 3! Those saint seiya’s are pretty epic, i think I saw you had that battle arena 😜🙌
@@EdsRetroGeekOut yeah that was one of the finds of the year!! 🙌🏽💯
Must of the stuff I want is quite accessible but Ulysses 31 stuff is definitely on my list. It's just sooooo expensive. I am a huge fan of the cartoon, it's one of my earliest memories.
I see some ulysses toys since we’re close to france but I wonder if it’s the same thing like with saint seye where we got a different version of the toy.. diecast vs plastic
I have 5 of these. Love Skullman
My first time watching and you've got an Arkangel shirt on haha. Instant sub.
Thanks! What other bands are you into?
@@EdsRetroGeekOutloads from that era/neck of the woods. Early Born From Pain, Jane, Drift, Congress, Liar (which I also just saw in another of your videos haha), Nyari, Kickback etc etc etc
@swoz finally got to see liar live this year 🙌
Amazing video aside, as a fellow metal head, I always appreciate the shirts you wear 🤘
🤘 aw yeaah
My top three grails right now would be: Fort Kerium Playset (I had an opportunity to buy it in the day and my dad talked me out of it), the Pee-Wee Herman Playhouse line and figures, and the rest of the Inspector Gadget figures on card.
Happy New Year 2024 Ed! I'd enjoyed the Top 10 most wanted Toy Grails on your Channel. Very Interesting and Informative! Thanks for Sharing! 🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆
Happy new year!
@@EdsRetroGeekOut 😃😁🤘
I have a set of the small TMNT Trolls - I can remember buying these under my own duress. There would have been absolutely no way I'd have bought the large ones, even if I had seen them!
I'd love to see your top 10 TMNT grail video! Make it happen! I have an ooze canister and all the universal monsters. I think that's as graily as I got
Imma start getting on it! 😜 I don’t mind talking turtles!
@EdsRetroGeekOut I made a tiktok with my collection of those and doing a quick run through of all phrases with captions. You're more than welcome to use the footage
Just realized you meant talking about turtles.... not anything related to sewer talkin' turtles.
@RobinGraves no problemo, i don’t think the talking ones will make it on the list but the seperate sold phrases that’s a cool pack!
Neat Arkangel Shirt 🕶👍🏻⚔🌱⚔
🤘
I've been looking for the Star Wars Droid Factory Corran Horn and Power of the Force Kyle Katarn. I don't collect seriously but am a huge Star Wars fan and like those characters.
Droid factory looks really fun, passed on one in box and still regretting it 🥲
I like that everything in toy grails is still relatively affordable.
Mine is MISB G1 Transformers Headmaster Weirdwolf.
It’s my favorite transformer and although it’s not a popular toy it’s my grail. You don’t see them often just because it’s not something people are actively trying to find.
All those headmasters are getting tougher to find to be honest 🤓 nice pick!
My Top 3 holy grails are USS FLaag from GI Joe because it just looks so damn cool. Number 2 is Castle Grey Skull from OG MOTU and number 1 is Millennium Falcon from POTF2. I don't chase big toys often but these three I'd kill to have.
Uss flag is for sure a big big toy 😁
Yeah, this is another of those punches to the heart for me. I HAD a Tiamat as a kid! In fact, I think I got it as a clearance sale for, like, $3 or something! Probably dumped it at a yard sale a few years later for a couple bucks. $3000 for collectors now? Yeah. That one hurts.
The 3K is for a sealed one the actual dragon toy should be available below 1K which is still too much money for a toy but … what a toy 🤓
I don’t have the slime but I have one of the glow in the dark turtles from the canister that I found at a flea market. It was 50c 👌 they are out there!
Sweet! I hope i find one too 😁 wouldn’t mind a fleamarket find!
@@EdsRetroGeekOut constant vigilance 🤣 you’ll find one!
I had a Rodan as a kid, it was a lot of fun.
My top 3 grails
3. Iron Horse - Cowboys of Moo Mesa
2. Mobile Skybike Launcher - Captain Power
3. Bionic Bigfoot - Six Million Dollar Man
Awesome picks! Wouldn’t mind bumping into a bionic bigfoot myself 🤓
i dig these top ten information ridden videos, how about a top 10 disappointing purchases that you regret how hard you chased after? We all have those let down purchases it would be interesting to see yours.
That would be a good topic 😅 like manta force being way too big, i was expecting a mighty max sized one
What’s funny about the muscle much swine, is that back in the early 2000s or actually when it was the year 2000 for me, I found the leader which was a German Shepherd with a jeans, jacket and trashcan bone shield and I’ve had that guy in my collection through college and up to now, so I’m just glad I never gave him away at all so it’s nice that I actually have a rare of scare character still on my shelf. Lol ironically and sad to say because I’m dating myself. It was in a KB toys store that was not located in a shopping mall but in a shopping plaza. It was one of those rare KB toys that was not exclusively in a mall that I found this character, as well as other character and Deadstock line stuff but still it is nice to remember that character another things.
My top 5 toy grails...
1. The Hyve Sectaurs Playset
2. The Fortress of Fangs D&D Playset
3. Kenner DC Super Powers - Cyborg
4. Thundercats Tongue-a-saurus
5. Cystar Crystal Palace
Those are great picks! i saw the crystal palace this year and it was amazing 🙌
my grail is the bonebreaker carnotaurus from the lost world, it is such a cool representation of one of my favourite dinosaurs.
Yes! The lost world had some lesser obtainable pieces compared to the offerings from the first movie 🤔 one day i’ll find that mobile command center!
@@EdsRetroGeekOut there is a second mobile command center from the chaos effect line, very rare
@johnnyfornia415 whaaaat! 🤯 chaos effect line was out of control 😁
I kinda want the blue sewar shark guy so nostalgic!
It was hard enough pulling the trigger on the regular troll Turtles, let alone any giant ones!!!!
😅 i didn’t even know they made them in giant form until a couple years ago, I think maybe they were only released in the US in giant version
@@EdsRetroGeekOut Typical Yanks - everything has to be super sized!
@jeffholt9437 🤣🤣
I like the Nightmare Warriors and Pirates of the Galaxseas too. The figures I'd most like to have that I don't currently have are Mego Black Hole Old Bob and S.T.A.R.
I saw those I think on toy shop on tours new episode! They look epic indeed
Cool top 10, i hope toxic crusaders gets a reissue, and Dino Riders,& M.A.S.K, i would like to see Battle Beasts and Star Com. Come back too. Do you Remember ZOIDES. ? 🎄
The toxic crusader toys are being reissued by trick or treat studios, they’ve done toxie and now they’re popping out some unproduced ones.
I remember zoids indeed, got a small one in box but the big t rex is for sure on my hunt list as well 🤓
@@EdsRetroGeekOut cool I got the T-Rex for Christmas back in 87 or 88 for Christmas I remember the little gold pilot for it. I remember my stepdad helped me make it. Good memories, I will look out new toxic crusader toys. Thanks Ed. 👍
@211inprogress epic, but a lot of work goes into making them work off course 😁
@@EdsRetroGeekOut 😆👍
I don't collect the any GhostBusters toys, but I do collect haunted house toys. I would be thrilled to find just the shell in decent condition for displaying with my Haunted House playsets/toys collection. Got very close once.
I’d love to see a haunted house collection, do you have the weebles one?
@@EdsRetroGeekOut I do, just no Weebles themselves. Haha
I don't know if this counts as it's not an action figure but a really rare figure was the Walking with Dinosaurs Ornithocheirus. There are only about 7 of them known by collectors and there might have only been 30 ish of them ever released as they were only available as a giveaway through a magazine in the early 2000s in the UK. I think one has sold for around £400 before on Ebay and i know of one that went for around £700 as well.
That’s epic i love stories like that, it’s for sure a collectible 🤘
I can't imagine what some of that sealed MOTU slime would look like opened up now.
A tmnt top 10 video would be great 🙌
🤔 then I best get to researching, so many interesting action figures to choose from … what would be on your tmnt list?
@@EdsRetroGeekOutthat is a great idea! Tough list for sure! Just a favorites list not grails. Antrax, Monty Moose, hothead, Mer Dude all great figures! Ray Filet too. Leatherhead is a favorite character of mine but never was too crazy about his og figure. Maybe a top 20 list would be better lol
I still want mer dude and antrax as top 10 tmnt wants too! still have my OG leatherhead and ray. but there is a very recent off brand knock off of leatherhead. I think there are 2 versions and its expensive, but extremely detailed and high quality!
@@Binx345menow I was just listing favorites. I still own my Antrax & Merdude(& scratch while I’m at it) from my childhood. Love those toys & characters. I’m aware of the leatherhead looking fig you speak of. My favorite leatherhead fig is necas toon version. Figs I wish had in my tmnt line are shoate, the regular fig version of Krang android body(I have the big one), & tyrano shredder
I have done a top 10 on my favorites before but looking at the most desired is gonna be tougher there’s a lot of people paying up for these! Mer dude is epic!
Great Arkangel shirt
🤘 aw yeaah
Clash of the Titans Kraken because it was my favorite movie as a kid, and Medusa gave me my first nightmare. I followed her as she slithered through the house and vanished into my grandmother's closet. Super creepy for a four year old. I have most of the figures and some additions of my own like Pegasus and giant scorpions. Would love a complete set.
I had that skeleton, I might still have it in my moms storage.
Epic 😁
Gotta say my grail toy was the Kraken from Clash of the Titans…was able to get the whole collection a while ago since there weren’t too many items made by Mattel
Love the kraken he’s in the first episode I did in this topic
Top three without thinking about it too hard:
1979 Kenner "big chap" alien
MOTU giants
Star Wars Yakface
Big Chap is on my radar as well but always a little too pricey 🥲
Yeah, to say that Filmation's Ghostbusters got overshadowed by tRGb and didn't get the love it disurved is an understatement. It had a fun cartoon and a cool toyline and that playset is an overlooked gem. I only have one real grail, (and speaking of MotU) it's the EU He-man & Skeletor two-pack with cassette. This one easily sets you back a couple 1.000 bucks but in a way that's my idea of a grail piece. That one piece that you know is out there, that you've seen, but basically is (In this case price-wise) nigh elusive. That one piece that you are satisfied with knowing it exists, having already seen it and where you've already made peace with the thought that you may never own it.
That doublepack with sterrenstof cassestte is amazing indeed 😁🙌
loving the tee!
🤘 aw yeaah
My Top 3 that I really want would be 1. 80's Masters of the Universe because of the special memories HE-MAN and Battle Cat as well as Castle Grayskull brought to me when I was a child. 2. The Jurassic toys because T-Rex is a favorite of mine and I really enjoy the Dinosaurs. Finally 3. STAR TREK because I am a Science Fiction Fan of the original Crew of the Enterprise Captain Kirk, Spock, Scott, McCoy, Uhura, Sulu, and Chekov. Live Long And Prosper 🖖😎💖
Those are great picks! I love that real feel on the JP dinosaurs 😁🤘
I want them ALL!!!!
We must get em all then 😁🤘
I just sold a He-Man ooze container on Ebay for $60 a few days ago the label had water damage but was still readable.Funny thing is mine was the ONLY empty one listed on Ebay and I feel I should have asked $99.99 for it but with what I have in it and what I got out of it I am happy though sad to see it go since I doubt I will ever own another.Selling items on Ebay that have never been listed before seems to be kind of my thing.Sold two Funko items where none had ever been listed before sold the only listed opened He-Man slim can and now I have an EMSON ball that has never been listed or sold on Ebay before and another EMSON ball where only 1 other had been listed or sold.I seen your Wonder Bread He-Man and was looking at that grail yesterday and man that thing is super expensive a true grail.
I need to look up that emson ball, it does seem that ebay doesn’t really track sold listings that long anymore
@@EdsRetroGeekOut Ahhh yea I really did not think that they only go back about a year or so. It's the Zeke Zombie ball I have it listed at $199.99 but think I have a buyer at $150.00 just waiting on them to get back to me.
I'm looking for the real Ghostbusters giveaway helicopter, it was seen on the back of the figure cards.
Oooh That’s epic
I was just thinking about how weird those giant TMNt trolls were the other day.
They are 😅 they should have never been made!
But, because they are so weird, it gives me hope that I’ll find them at a thrift store or a yard sale. Just looking at them no one would assume they’re worth a few hundred dollars!
@@Lastluke they should be out there 🤓
I remember getting street sharks for Christmas
