I thought my being an experimental lab rat for money days were over, but after seeing all this awesomeness, I'm going to have to start again. Great video.
Very cool stuff. I love the Frank Frazetta themed stuff and that Bruce Lee one in the follow-up footage was also pretty cool. Even Tor Johnson seems like a great choice, especially with Halloween just a couple months away. Lastly, I'm currently enjoying that weird little book you showed at the end there, "Bubblegum Apocalypse Noir". The author has a cool style and I'm enjoying his story-telling ways. Keep up the great work!
I thought the Bruce Lee statues were neat as well. And a great price too. After I finished the video, I saw that those are actually variants and there's a normal painted release as well. Bubblegum Apocalypse Noir, you say? Doesn't ring any bells. Sounds kinda weird, though. Glad you are enjoying it nonetheless.
I've been eying that Godzilla skeleton as I also enjoy the Re-Action Godzilla line. I do already have a Super 7 Godzilla with an oxygen destroyer which was a big selling point for me but.. not skeleton from so when I make him go MYAH! it seems odd. Great roundup of merch for some faces you've showcased on the channel.
Speaking of Super7 and giant dinos, I recently picked up the Ultimates Grimlock on sale from amazon. That is a mighty fine piece of plastic right there. And quite big for the price point. And he comes with a fish. What else could one want? But the take away here, buy the Godzilla skeleton.
@@tonysantiago255yep. My brother-in-law got a set of drinking glasses very similar to that for Christmas one year. He said it was for being on the naughty list
I'm (inexplicably) obsessed with MOGERA (AKA MOGUERA), the giant robot from _Godzilla vs Space Godzilla,_ so I was delighted to finally get Super 7's figure, but S H Monster Arts just re-released their own super-articulated figure in Japan--now with launch pad gantries!--with an October release in the US, so I have to have that as well. My favorite, though, will always be the 1994 Bandai transforming figure which could be pulled apart and reassembled into a pair of vehicles as seen in the film. It helped me design an alternate version that "transforms" far better than the sadly rushed movie version (every part of Movie Moggie wildly changes proportions/positions from shot to shot during the process).
I'm not overly well-versed in the Heisei-era Godzilla films. I mostly know the Showa Mogura from The Mysterians. That said, I do like some of those designs. Mogera and Kiryu look pretty neat. And speaking of the articulation I complained about in the video, I mind it a lot less with robots. With many bot figures, the articulation just blends in with the design and doesn't take away from the look. In those cases, it's mainly just the price point that is effected.
I have the Gorgo figure. Totally awesome. Zero articulation, and that's why I love it so much. As little to no articulation is what I like. And that's why I subscribed to this channel a while back. Someone who sees it my way.
This is a great segment and love your criteria 😆 Bought the La-La Land soundtrack to Black Rain (1989) some years ago, they did such an excellent job; totally agree with you.

Oh man, I know what you mean. And with the collectors' market, things have skyrocketed even more. I usually try to wait for sales, but that can backfire if things sell out quickly.
That's interesting they did the Muppet I totally remember it he was huge I don't know if it was just one guy running it or what but totally remember it from the original
I re-watched the first season not long ago. I would imagine it was two guys running Sweetums. Because not only did he have two arms, the mouth and eyes would move. Not sure how one person could have done all that. EDIT: I went and looked it up. One guy impressively worked his arms and mouth. Then the eyes were remote controlled.
Well, there's only a couple days left on the La La Land 30% off sale, so thanks for reminding me! That 2-disc HEAVY METAL soundtrack by Elmer Bernstein is on my list. I'll probably end up not settling on just one, but since it's a sale, I may as well go for broke! You know what they say: music has charms to soothe the savage beast (or is that breast, as Frank Frazetta always reminds me). Have a great weekend. Cheers!
Well, that's good timing. I didn't realize that La-La Land is having a big sale. Coincidentally, Buysoundtrax is as well. Or maybe it's some kind of vicious soundtrack company war waging. What else are you thinking about picking up?
I remember two robot toys from my youth. The Xeroids. These were serious looking toy robots. I think I only had one. The Ding-A-Lings. A large group of limited articulated robot figures. And a giant robot called Mighty King Ding. I remember only owning a Ding-A-Ling called Claw because it had two large claws for lifting. It was probably the most affordable of all the Ding-A-Lings. The second was Twirly, supposedly a flying robot with a spinning wheel on its head. Then, of course The Micronaughts from the mid 1970’s. These figures were expensive. Up to $10.00 per figure. I remember seeing those early transforming robot toys in a Japanese store in the mall I used to hang out in. Frank Frazetta. I remember seeing his artwork in the Famous Monsters Of Filmland magazine in the 70’s. Another artist who was also similar to Frazetta was Boris G. Vallejo, his artwork was also featured in Famous Monsters, too. Famous Monsters sold books of their artwork. As to soundtracks, which is my favorite part about collecting, I happen to have the Film Score Monthly released version of Heavy Metal and it had both versions of Elmer Bernstein’s score, the album version and the complete version. If you haven’t heard it yet, your ears will thank you. It is so powerful. I would love to buy the Ogra/Gorgo figure. It will probably take two or three paychecks to purchase the items I want. But, anything you want in life is worth the wait. Have a great weekend, friend.😎✌️
Both Xeriods and the Ding-A-Lings were before my time, but I've become rather familiar with them in my adult life. I've even used commercials for both in my videos. Really neat toylines. I had no idea the Micronauts were so pricey. 10 bucks would have been high in the '80s when I was a kid, nonetheless the '70s. Yeek. I know Boris' work well thanks to the amazing Deathstalker posters. I probably like him as much as I do Frazetta. Well, almost as much. He is darn good and a staple of sword & sorcery. Last soundtrack I picked up was Dinosaur Island. Since I collect comics, toys, movies, music, and TTRGPs, I jump around with what I buy at a time. Thanks, Gary.
Hey Rob! Between all the great sci-fi collectables and horror collectables out there...I don't know man....ha ha, my eyes say 'hell yeah', but my credit card says 'hell no'. But what the hell does that little piece of plastic know? Tons of really cool stuff here. Sweetums and Robin look great, super detailed. Those Franzetta figures are amazing too. Teegra especially looks fantastic. Happy Friday bro, have a nice weekend ahead! Cheers! 🍻
Credit cards are notorious for their back-talk and nonsense. I certainly don't trust 'em. But I do trust Sweetums. I just wish the figure would be out sooner. It would have been mighty spiffy to have that fellow under the Christmas tree this year. Thanks for watching, buddy. Have a good one as well.
It's a great little figure too. If you go back to the latest episode of my Top Retro Post Apocalypse Movies series, you can see him on the shelf behind me. Thanks for watching and for the kind words. Welcome to the Snack Bar.
I am very familiar with the “Robert the Robot” toy that appears at 6:00. My brother had that one and I played with it a lot. The arms were movable, and the hands had a powerful steel spring that would hold the hand either open or closed as you positioned it. I emphasize that the spring was powerful, as the robot hands could pinch your fingers. There was a remote control in the form of a pistol, connected tot he robot by a springy steel cable. There was a hand-crank on the side of the pistol that - as you cranked furiously in either direction - would make the robot move forward or backwards. Pulling or releasing the “trigger” of the pistol steered left or right. There was a crank on the back of the robot, that drove a small phonograph record: I am Robert Robot, mechanical man. Ride me and steer me, wherever you can.”
I'm a big fan of good ol' Robert. So much so that when I did the second episode of my Top 1950s Sci-fi Robots series, I actually gave him a full entry. He appeared on the thumbnail and everything. Never seen one in person, though. I was surprised to see that parts of him were in red when I finally saw color photos.
Unfortunately, I don't have the money to spend on "collectible" items, since they're usually quite pricey. The last sci-fi item I bought was the Walmart Robby the Robot for $20. Actually, i think it was marked down to $15 when i got it.
I have that guy in the case behind me, and he is awesome. One of the best 20 dollars I've ever spent. I wish they had done more with that line. I could use a B-9 in that scale as well.
Robby hasn't been working much, although he did have a part time job as a Walmart greeter. However, the manager fired him by saying, "Emergency cancellation Archimedes." Since then, he moved to the rust belt where he volunteers at the old bots home as a Wurlitzer jukebox.
@@w.adammandelbaum1805 Well, that settles it. When I get super rich and famous from discussing obscure '50s sci-fi, I'm getting a Robby the Robot jukebox.
Howdy! Love the D&D1 insanity rolls. My friends and I used to make a game of putting out characters through as much trauma as possible and stacking insanities. Drove the GM up the wall since he was a fan of awarding heavy XP bonuses for staying in character.
That sounds great. Almost like you were playing Call of Cthulhu. I was always a fan of the more unusual nights of gaming. One night we did a player vs player game of Dungeons and Dragons and it was a great time.
@@AtomicSnackBar Ohhhh we'd do the PvP of Robotech from time to time. So much work for the GMs, we'd divide the room into two sessions and the GMs would bounce back and forth. So much fun.
@@AtomicSnackBar I generally preferred human 'cause the deck was more stacked against us and it encouraged thoughtful missions instead of a brute force approach.
I see "Golden Age of Science Fiction" has a 6th volume out, already. They are really cranking them out! The new CD features "Valley of the Dragons" and "Island of Terror".
They know the masses are screaming for that sweet 1950s soundtrack action. Thinking about it, I don't recall what the soundtrack to Valley of the Dragons was like. But I did only catch that one once.
Good stuff RS! Lots of cool stuff to collect , at variable price points! Seems like stuff is crazy expensive these days….almost $100 for a 1/12 figure. The Orgra figure is way cool, but almost $200. Oh, well. Gotta keep working on the way-way back machine. Skeletal Godzilla has gotta be an easy pick. Teela …………….. Norseman…. Thank you for introducing me to Molly Hatchet Sounding great you toy talking talk of the town…. Thanx for sharing!
After I did the first episode, I realized I focused a bit too much on expensive stuff. So this time about I wanted to work in some more reasonably priced collectables as well. And I'd say for the scale, detail, and price point, you don't get much better than the Sweetums figure. You know, I'm not sure I've ever heard Molly Hatchet. But those fellows know a thing or two about fantastic album covers.
@@chrisbridges4885 I was watching some review videos of her. And though she is in 12th scale, that's not a set height. It varies among how tall the actual characters are. From what I saw, she seemed a little short in comparison to other figures in the scale. Which makes perfect sense, but for that price...
I don't recall my first exposure to Frazetta, though it was probably seeing the Fire and Ice VHS tape at a gas station. Those wonderful days when every place imaginable wanted to get in on renting out movies.
@@AtomicSnackBar That a fine come back & i know the feeling!! Know i don't know if you own one but they used to make a model of the Brain Vampires from Fiend Without a Face, that would Brains Brain for sure.
@@creech54 It is indeed from that episode. I am compelled to quote it whenever the words Spock and brain are used at the same time. Most often to the confusion of those around me 😁
The reaction line is awesome. I've thought about picking them up. I think I'm too far behind. The Frank F figures look fantastic. I just watched Gorgo, hint hint there will be a review in September. The phantom creeps is expensive. Hey sweetums, that's awesome. Great video Slim.
ReAction is a great line to collect. They look nice, don't break the bank, and are easy to find. I've just started running out of display space for them. Can't just throw 'em on a shelf like an open figure. And great, I look forward to that J-Man Gorgo action.
That Phantom Creeps figure is excellent, but yeah bit too pricey for me, especially for what is basically a shelf dwelling dust gatherer. The Frazetta figures are pretty sweet too. What was that glow in the dark Tor Johnson figure you show at the end?
That would be the newish Amok Time Tor figure. They have him in several colors, but I had to go with the glow-in-the-dark version. If you check the pinned comment, I have a direct link to it.
Drinking booze from Spock’s head does not go down well with him…trust me. I love Frank Frazzetta artwork. Gorgo looks awesome and I love the Mythos figures. Really cool to see The Phantom Creeps get a figure.
Thanks for including the HH mini-figures. They do an excellent job with these sets and I look forward to adding Mr. Lovecraft and his brood to my collection. Please keep doing collectible news programs. They are great fun.
Very cool. Do let me know if you pick those up. I'd like to hear what you think. I've been debating expanding my keshi collection. Thanks, Kong-ok. Good to hear from you.
6:03 YES PLZ! Us folks of “modest means” need collectible robots & aliens too! 😭 Sweetums had one of my favorite Muppet Movie lines: “Jack not name, jack job!” 😆 And FYI, Ogra’s official height is 250ft, so at 1/6 scale she’d still be over 40ft tall… you may need a slightly bigger shelf 😅
Look at the big brain on Brad. Math science. But that is an excellent point. I just throw around 6th scale for figures around 12 inches or so. It does get super confusing when companies say stuff like 1/144 scale.
@@AtomicSnackBar I’m a smart mofo, that’s right 😉 Hmmm… 250ft @ 1/144 scale… about 1.75 feet. Now that would be a good-sized monster figure right there 😁
Is it me... or does the Princes Teegra figure have a whole of Druuna thing going on??? & Lovecraftian D&D!?! Where was that when I was in my RPG phase!?!
These are videos up my alley as a toy reviewer on my channel. I get a TON of stuff over at BBTS. Does anyone else remember when Sweetums was the Noble Roman's mascot before they stopped paying for him and made their own version made out of pizza parts?
I'll have to check that out. A big bulk of what I actually watch on YT is toy content. My first channel, which was actually supposed to be my main channel, was toy based.
@@AtomicSnackBar For sure check me out. I even give figures away on the channel. I had your channel on in the background while creating T-shirt merchandise for my store and my Transformers ONE Optimus Prime review due out tomorrow LOL
Too old for toys now & my wife would kill me if i spent some of the prices you quote, course i say this as i buy yet another guitar. I am thinking still about that Ikar figure you have but i have the cards from the show & at this point they will have to do. Very cool Spock Mug & i must say the Gorgo figure is done very well & your right it won't last long but they can always make more!!!
You are never too old for toys, good sir. And never too old to start collecting. And think how neat your obituary would be reading, "Killed by his beloved wife for Gorgo-related reasons."
@@AtomicSnackBar I think it wil take a bit more than Gorgo plus she's really an angel for putting up with my guitars, amps & the toys that make effects. But at least they don't sit & collect dust. LOL If i did buy something toy related it would be that Outer Limits Ikar in Green. I'll just be satisfied with seeing your collection as i have not seen that much cool stuff in one place for quite some time. 🤖
Lots of goodies here but just like you mentioned several times, a lot of these collectibles/figures are to rich for my blood. As you know action figure collecting gets very expensive these days and that has got me being more picky than ever. Don’t get me wrong I bought a few figures in my time with some hefty price tags, but these days I try to control myself a little more. I really do like that ReAction Godzilla oxygen destroyer figure. That’s a pretty creative idea for a figure. I’m pretty sure my son is going to want that as soon as he finds out about it. Any way I hope you are doing well. Keep it Snacky good buddy.
Something I was thinking too would be cool, using the Godzilla skeleton as an aquarium toy. Then a viewer suggested putting the oxygen destroyer by the air pump, which would look awesome. I kind of want an aquarium now just for aquatic toys.
Hey, Mr. R. Sterling, did you get your Wild, Wild West TV series set the other day? Amazon shows it as left on your doorstep on the 26th, just wanted to make sure you got it. You also have the Haikader DVD coming supposedly on Tuesday, so keep an eye out..
Okay, fantastic. I'm really glad you let me know. It did indeed arrive, I just didn't know who it was from. But I really appreciate it and have already started watching the set. The picture quality is very good.
@@varanid9 No reason at all to apologize. It's all gravy. I usually batch film anyway. So I usually have about 4 to 5 months worth of videos in the can. Thus why, other than this new news show, nothing is ever timely.
Here's a thing - the layout of YT page has subtly changed, and the thumbs up/down is not visible. So I can't click on thumbs up. Lovely vid, not a collector, but I love to see these, plus you make everything interesting with your great presentation skills. Once again a lovely start to my Saturday morning. Remember= if this vid gets a low thumbs up count, it might be because other people are having the same issue as me.
@@AtomicSnackBar I use a laptop - funnily enough, I used my PS5 for the first time in ages and it said there had been a TH-cam update - but nothing on my laptop. I sent a 'message' to TH-cam - so hopefully, other people have. I don't know if they've made the picture bigger, or the text box bigger - but it obscures the 'like' buttons. My wife looked on her mobile, and she had to prod to find the 'like' - but on the laptop... it's just not there. Again - I really liked your post, and definitely a thumbs up - love everything you do.

Hey, you MB, anyone ever tell you how dangerous your channel is??? The old school Godzilla and Gorgo release just went to the top of my must have list! It’s also perfect … if they did a thong version of these two … oh my !!!

The Ding-A-Lings. A large group of limited articulated robot figures. And a giant robot called Mighty King Ding. I remember only owning a Ding-A-Ling called Claw because it had two large claws for lifting. It was probably the most affordable of all the Ding-A-Lings. The second was Twirly, supposedly a flying robot with a spinning wheel on its head.
Then, of course The Micronaughts from the mid 1970’s. These figures were expensive. Up to $10.00 per figure.
I remember seeing those early transforming robot toys in a Japanese store in the mall I used to hang out in.
Frank Frazetta. I remember seeing his artwork in the Famous Monsters Of Filmland magazine in the 70’s. Another artist who was also similar to Frazetta was Boris G. Vallejo, his artwork was also featured in Famous Monsters, too. Famous Monsters sold books of their artwork.
As to soundtracks, which is my favorite part about collecting, I happen to have the Film Score Monthly released version of Heavy Metal and it had both versions of Elmer Bernstein’s score, the album version and the complete version. If you haven’t heard it yet, your ears will thank you. It is so powerful.
I would love to buy the Ogra/Gorgo figure.
It will probably take two or three paychecks to purchase the items I want. But, anything you want in life is worth the wait.
Have a great weekend, friend.😎✌️
Both Xeriods and the Ding-A-Lings were before my time, but I've become rather familiar with them in my adult life. I've even used commercials for both in my videos. Really neat toylines.
I had no idea the Micronauts were so pricey. 10 bucks would have been high in the '80s when I was a kid, nonetheless the '70s. Yeek.
I know Boris' work well thanks to the amazing Deathstalker posters. I probably like him as much as I do Frazetta. Well, almost as much. He is darn good and a staple of sword & sorcery.
Last soundtrack I picked up was Dinosaur Island. Since I collect comics, toys, movies, music, and TTRGPs, I jump around with what I buy at a time.
Thanks, Gary.
Hey Rob! Between all the great sci-fi collectables and horror collectables out there...I don't know man....ha ha, my eyes say 'hell yeah', but my credit card says 'hell no'. But what the hell does that little piece of plastic know? Tons of really cool stuff here. Sweetums and Robin look great, super detailed. Those Franzetta figures are amazing too. Teegra especially looks fantastic. Happy Friday bro, have a nice weekend ahead! Cheers! 🍻
Credit cards are notorious for their back-talk and nonsense. I certainly don't trust 'em.
But I do trust Sweetums. I just wish the figure would be out sooner. It would have been mighty spiffy to have that fellow under the Christmas tree this year.
Thanks for watching, buddy. Have a good one as well.
Politician action figures come with two faces and no spine. Collect the whole set and indict them. Or as Tor would say, "Time for go to jail."
Bag of money accessory and build-a-figure closet skeleton sold separately.
@@AtomicSnackBar well done sir!
@@w.adammandelbaum1805 I have my moments. But I am working with the best here.
I love glow in the dark figurines.
I wish companies made them more often.
Me too. Though nowadays, usually when they do, they cost a bit more. That was the neat thing about that Tor. Same price as the normal Tors.
A Tor Johnson figure?!?! Wow, so much of this stuff hits just right! I'm a newcomer here but wow do I l love this channel already!
It's a great little figure too. If you go back to the latest episode of my Top Retro Post Apocalypse Movies series, you can see him on the shelf behind me.
Thanks for watching and for the kind words. Welcome to the Snack Bar.
When Tor Johnson gave his name at the urologist office, they thought he was describing his symptoms.
@@w.adammandelbaum1805 That actually made me chuckle out loud. Not an easy feat.
I am very familiar with the “Robert the Robot” toy that appears at 6:00. My brother had that one and I played with it a lot. The arms were movable, and the hands had a powerful steel spring that would hold the hand either open or closed as you positioned it. I emphasize that the spring was powerful, as the robot hands could pinch your fingers.
There was a remote control in the form of a pistol, connected tot he robot by a springy steel cable. There was a hand-crank on the side of the pistol that - as you cranked furiously in either direction - would make the robot move forward or backwards. Pulling or releasing the “trigger” of the pistol steered left or right.
There was a crank on the back of the robot, that drove a small phonograph record: I am Robert Robot, mechanical man. Ride me and steer me, wherever you can.”
I'm a big fan of good ol' Robert. So much so that when I did the second episode of my Top 1950s Sci-fi Robots series, I actually gave him a full entry. He appeared on the thumbnail and everything. Never seen one in person, though. I was surprised to see that parts of him were in red when I finally saw color photos.
@@fredblonder7850 that is so cool …. Do you know what happened to that toy?
@@chrisbridges4885 I have not seen it in the past 50 years, so I assume our mother discarded it at some point.
@fredblonder7850 - I like to believe that there's a toy heaven where all of the toys our Moms threw out live on eternally.
Hand crank? Ride me and steer me? You sure you're in the right YT space?😋
Unfortunately, I don't have the money to spend on "collectible" items, since they're usually quite pricey. The last sci-fi item I bought was the Walmart Robby the Robot for $20. Actually, i think it was marked down to $15 when i got it.
I have that guy in the case behind me, and he is awesome. One of the best 20 dollars I've ever spent. I wish they had done more with that line. I could use a B-9 in that scale as well.
Robby hasn't been working much, although he did have a part time job as a Walmart greeter. However, the manager fired him by saying, "Emergency cancellation Archimedes." Since then, he moved to the rust belt where he volunteers at the old bots home as a Wurlitzer jukebox.
@@w.adammandelbaum1805 Well, that settles it. When I get super rich and famous from discussing obscure '50s sci-fi, I'm getting a Robby the Robot jukebox.
Howdy!
Love the D&D1 insanity rolls. My friends and I used to make a game of putting out characters through as much trauma as possible and stacking insanities. Drove the GM up the wall since he was a fan of awarding heavy XP bonuses for staying in character.
That sounds great. Almost like you were playing Call of Cthulhu. I was always a fan of the more unusual nights of gaming. One night we did a player vs player game of Dungeons and Dragons and it was a great time.
@@AtomicSnackBar Ohhhh we'd do the PvP of Robotech from time to time. So much work for the GMs, we'd divide the room into two sessions and the GMs would bounce back and forth. So much fun.
@@Minikin1 Yes, exactly. Which side did you play in Robotech?
@@AtomicSnackBar I generally preferred human 'cause the deck was more stacked against us and it encouraged thoughtful missions instead of a brute force approach.
I see "Golden Age of Science Fiction" has a 6th volume out, already. They are really cranking them out! The new CD features "Valley of the Dragons" and "Island of Terror".
They know the masses are screaming for that sweet 1950s soundtrack action. Thinking about it, I don't recall what the soundtrack to Valley of the Dragons was like. But I did only catch that one once.
@@AtomicSnackBar It's on YT, if you want to catch the opening credits music.
@@creech54 I will do that right now.
@@AtomicSnackBar Got a couple of new Creature things in that image shack album. A S7 Trikey, New POP! and a Retro-a-go-go unlicensed statue.
@@creech54 The cycle figure looks awesome. I didn't even realize they were out yet. And darn it, looks like it is sold out already.
Muppets rule!
Heck yeah. I actually have the Diamond Select Electric Mayhem set coming in the mail soon.
@@AtomicSnackBaris that the band?
@@chrisbridges4885 Yes indeed.
@@AtomicSnackBar my favorite song- I’m Gonna Light Some Dynamite!
@@chrisbridges4885 Mine isn't actually an Electric Mayhem tune, but I am all about "Mahna Mahna."
Good stuff RS! Lots of cool stuff to collect , at variable price points! Seems like stuff is crazy expensive these days….almost $100 for a 1/12 figure. The Orgra figure is way cool, but almost $200. Oh, well. Gotta keep working on the way-way back machine.
Skeletal Godzilla has gotta be an easy pick.
Teela ……………..
Norseman…. Thank you for introducing me to Molly Hatchet
Sounding great you toy talking talk of the town….
Thanx for sharing!
After I did the first episode, I realized I focused a bit too much on expensive stuff. So this time about I wanted to work in some more reasonably priced collectables as well. And I'd say for the scale, detail, and price point, you don't get much better than the Sweetums figure.
You know, I'm not sure I've ever heard Molly Hatchet. But those fellows know a thing or two about fantastic album covers.
@@AtomicSnackBar Flirtin’ with Disaster all the way.
What did you mean Teela seemed short?
@@chrisbridges4885 I was watching some review videos of her. And though she is in 12th scale, that's not a set height. It varies among how tall the actual characters are. From what I saw, she seemed a little short in comparison to other figures in the scale. Which makes perfect sense, but for that price...
@@AtomicSnackBarI feel the pain. Maybe they scaled it back it back a bit because of the inclusion of her panther?
@@chrisbridges4885 That panther. Always hogging the spotlight.
Amazing episode! I've been into Frazetta since grade school! Amazing figures! I love that Spock mug and Gorgo, too!
Sweetums!!!! I want that one!!!!
I don't recall my first exposure to Frazetta, though it was probably seeing the Fire and Ice VHS tape at a gas station. Those wonderful days when every place imaginable wanted to get in on renting out movies.
@@voronOsphere Ohhh yeah. That's a must have. I have already picked out his spot on the shelf.
AAHHHHH SWEETUMS!!!! I love him!
He was always one of my favorites as a kid. I'm excited to finally have a Sweetums figure.
Brain brain brain! What is brain?!?!?
I'm not familiar with the term.
@@AtomicSnackBar That a fine come back & i know the feeling!! Know i don't know if you own one but they used to make a model of the Brain Vampires from Fiend Without a Face, that would Brains Brain for sure.
@@paullevine1813 I really like those guys. Underrated movie monsters right there.
Isn't that from the Star Trek episode “Spock’s Brain”? Oops! Never mind. Forgot about the Spock mug.
@@creech54 It is indeed from that episode. I am compelled to quote it whenever the words Spock and brain are used at the same time. Most often to the confusion of those around me 😁
The reaction line is awesome. I've thought about picking them up. I think I'm too far behind. The Frank F figures look fantastic. I just watched Gorgo, hint hint there will be a review in September. The phantom creeps is expensive. Hey sweetums, that's awesome. Great video Slim.
ReAction is a great line to collect. They look nice, don't break the bank, and are easy to find. I've just started running out of display space for them. Can't just throw 'em on a shelf like an open figure.
And great, I look forward to that J-Man Gorgo action.
That Phantom Creeps figure is excellent, but yeah bit too pricey for me, especially for what is basically a shelf dwelling dust gatherer. The Frazetta figures are pretty sweet too. What was that glow in the dark Tor Johnson figure you show at the end?
That would be the newish Amok Time Tor figure. They have him in several colors, but I had to go with the glow-in-the-dark version. If you check the pinned comment, I have a direct link to it.
@@AtomicSnackBar Awesome! I’ll check it out, every household needs a glow in the dark Tor Johnson figure!
@@Junk_World_Templar And that is more than a fact.
Drinking booze from Spock’s head does not go down well with him…trust me. I love Frank Frazzetta artwork. Gorgo looks awesome and I love the Mythos figures. Really cool to see The Phantom Creeps get a figure.
So, that makes me wonder. HorrorDad is so good at painting, has he ever considered customizing existing figures? I bet he could work wonders.
@@AtomicSnackBar He’s wiz with a paintbrush, but I’m not sure if his skills stretch to that. I’m going to ask him though.
Thanks for including the HH mini-figures. They do an excellent job with these sets and I look forward to adding Mr. Lovecraft and his brood to my collection. Please keep doing collectible news programs. They are great fun.
Very cool. Do let me know if you pick those up. I'd like to hear what you think. I've been debating expanding my keshi collection.
Thanks, Kong-ok. Good to hear from you.
Great list indeed.
Thank you much.
@@AtomicSnackBar You're most welcome.
6:03 YES PLZ! Us folks of “modest means” need collectible robots & aliens too! 😭
Sweetums had one of my favorite Muppet Movie lines: “Jack not name, jack job!” 😆
And FYI, Ogra’s official height is 250ft, so at 1/6 scale she’d still be over 40ft tall… you may need a slightly bigger shelf 😅
Look at the big brain on Brad. Math science.
But that is an excellent point. I just throw around 6th scale for figures around 12 inches or so. It does get super confusing when companies say stuff like 1/144 scale.
@@AtomicSnackBar I’m a smart mofo, that’s right 😉
Hmmm… 250ft @ 1/144 scale… about 1.75 feet. Now that would be a good-sized monster figure right there 😁
@@Gappasaurus The 1/144 scale example was a model kit, I want to say. The Martians stole the memory already.
@@AtomicSnackBar Oh yeah, they’ll do that for sure. 😐
Is it me... or does the Princes Teegra figure have a whole of Druuna thing going on??? & Lovecraftian D&D!?! Where was that when I was in my RPG phase!?!
I can see that. Though Fire and Ice does predate Druuna. So Druuna has a Teegra thing going I suppose. Both great designs, either way.
Another awesome episode sir
Thank you much, Craig. I appreciate you stopping by each week.
These are videos up my alley as a toy reviewer on my channel. I get a TON of stuff over at BBTS. Does anyone else remember when Sweetums was the Noble Roman's mascot before they stopped paying for him and made their own version made out of pizza parts?
I'll have to check that out. A big bulk of what I actually watch on YT is toy content. My first channel, which was actually supposed to be my main channel, was toy based.
@@AtomicSnackBar For sure check me out. I even give figures away on the channel. I had your channel on in the background while creating T-shirt merchandise for my store and my Transformers ONE Optimus Prime review due out tomorrow LOL
Too old for toys now & my wife would kill me if i spent some of the prices you quote, course i say this as i buy yet another guitar. I am thinking still about that Ikar figure you have but i have the cards from the show & at this point they will have to do. Very cool Spock Mug & i must say the Gorgo figure is done very well & your right it won't last long but they can always make more!!!
You are never too old for toys, good sir. And never too old to start collecting. And think how neat your obituary would be reading, "Killed by his beloved wife for Gorgo-related reasons."
@@AtomicSnackBar I think it wil take a bit more than Gorgo plus she's really an angel for putting up with my guitars, amps & the toys that make effects. But at least they don't sit & collect dust. LOL If i did buy something toy related it would be that Outer Limits Ikar in Green. I'll just be satisfied with seeing your collection as i have not seen that much cool stuff in one place for quite some time. 🤖
@@paullevine1813 And to tie it all together, I just recently ordered the full set of Electric Mayhem(The Muppet Show band) figures for the shelf.
Lots of goodies here but just like you mentioned several times, a lot of these collectibles/figures are to rich for my blood. As you know action figure collecting gets very expensive these days and that has got me being more picky than ever. Don’t get me wrong I bought a few figures in my time with some hefty price tags, but these days I try to control myself a little more. I really do like that ReAction Godzilla oxygen destroyer figure. That’s a pretty creative idea for a figure. I’m pretty sure my son is going to want that as soon as he finds out about it. Any way I hope you are doing well. Keep it Snacky good buddy.
Something I was thinking too would be cool, using the Godzilla skeleton as an aquarium toy. Then a viewer suggested putting the oxygen destroyer by the air pump, which would look awesome. I kind of want an aquarium now just for aquatic toys.
@@AtomicSnackBar Very neat idea indeed!!!
With my budget and income, this is wishful window shopping for me. 😅
Yes, indeed. I'm mostly in that boat as well. But I do like me some window shopping.
@@AtomicSnackBar 🤜🤛 *fist bump
@@ryangreen6255 🖖
Good stuff! That Gorgo is awesome, but sadly, a bit rich for my blood! Those Mythos figures are priced right, though!
Oh, do let me know if you pick some up. I'd like to hear what you think about them.
Thanks for a little bit of RPG stuff. There’s a lot of excellent third party D&D content out there
Yes, indeed. And guy behind Swords of Cthulhu really knows his stuff too. Has a whole channel dedicated to Greyhawk.
@@AtomicSnackBaryes, one of the fine patrons of the Bar I do believe
Hey, Mr. R. Sterling, did you get your Wild, Wild West TV series set the other day? Amazon shows it as left on your doorstep on the 26th, just wanted to make sure you got it. You also have the Haikader DVD coming supposedly on Tuesday, so keep an eye out..
Okay, fantastic. I'm really glad you let me know. It did indeed arrive, I just didn't know who it was from. But I really appreciate it and have already started watching the set. The picture quality is very good.
@@AtomicSnackBar Sorry it took so long; I didn't realize the card I had on file with Amazon had expired and ignored their Emails for several days!
@@varanid9 No reason at all to apologize. It's all gravy. I usually batch film anyway. So I usually have about 4 to 5 months worth of videos in the can. Thus why, other than this new news show, nothing is ever timely.
Here's a thing - the layout of YT page has subtly changed, and the thumbs up/down is not visible. So I can't click on thumbs up.
Lovely vid, not a collector, but I love to see these, plus you make everything interesting with your great presentation skills.
Once again a lovely start to my Saturday morning. Remember= if this vid gets a low thumbs up count, it might be because other people are having the same issue as me.
That's odd/interesting. What kind of device are you using? I mostly stick with desk top, and it hasn't changed. At least, not on my end.
@@AtomicSnackBar I use a laptop - funnily enough, I used my PS5 for the first time in ages and it said there had been a TH-cam update - but nothing on my laptop. I sent a 'message' to TH-cam - so hopefully, other people have. I don't know if they've made the picture bigger, or the text box bigger - but it obscures the 'like' buttons. My wife looked on her mobile, and she had to prod to find the 'like' - but on the laptop... it's just not there.
