I had the Ghost Gun. It was fun for about 10 until we ran out of ghost strips, which were actual film cells that were destroyed with pin when you shot it. My parents were not ones to buy refills or new batteries for toys so the ghost gun became a flash light and eventually buried in a toy bin.
That Mr. Ed hand puppet looks pretty cursed, it looks like it would come to life in the middle of the night and try to bite somebody. Also that Wacky Races board game looks pretty neat, just for the box art alone. I’d frame that just for Dastardly & Muttley alone, they’re my favorite Hanna-Barbera villains.
I remember feeling slight pressure to get into Annie. It seems like there was a tv tray & lunchbox that materialized at some point ( probably the point movie merch hit the discount rack) Does this Annie have powers? Is she hilarious or evil? Wield a battleaxe? I don't see the appeal here.
I actually have seen the Junk Yard Game. I think a friend had one because I do remember playing it. I was a step above one of those plastic spring action pinball games where you had five balls and got points for which slot the ball landed in.
Fun Fact:The Care Bear Floatie made a brief appearance in 'Police Academy 4:Citizens On Patrol' when Zed was slated by Harris and it was around his waist when he came out of the swimming pool if you look hard enough next time you see the film.
My older brother had the Gentle Ben lunch box!!!! Clint Howard, Ron 'Opie' Howard's brother, played the boys and Dennis 'Mc Cloud' Weaver, played the dad.
The New Zoo Review theme automatically plays in my head whenever I walk behind a really morbidity obese woman in a dress with blown out slip-ons. The Hero 1 robot was a kit made by Heathkit. Build your own TV kinda kits. We tried to order it but got a returned check when the line ended.
I had the Ghost gun in about 1974. It was fun , turn out the lights, ghosts would float by and you got to shoot them up ! Batteries not included. Thanks for the memories !
I think the Brady Bunch gum came with trading cards. God there were so many offset intellectual properties that had trading cards. Alien, Jaws, Saturday Night Fever, Happy Days, Alien Nation the television series had a set of trading cards. Mash had trading cards. Dukes of Hazzard and I think Starsky and Hutch also had trading cards so did Knight Rider. The monsters or The Addams Family one or both of them had trading cards. You'd be surprised how many black and white sitcoms had trading cards so I suspect that bubblegum came with cards.
I did not know of any of these so thank you for sharing them. I wish I knew of the New Zoo Revue toys because I would have loved to have them. By the way, Those two still are around and have a TH-cam Channel. The show was so good, it was something we watched before we went to school every morning.
You probably already know this but there's a lot of those obscure robots from the '80s ironically they weren't kids toys and they were so hyped and false advertised LOL. Most people are familiar with the ones from Radio Shack like the one you mentioned. One of them was on Mr Rogers where they went to the plant where they were being assembled. I don't know how many units were sold but they attempted to mass produce them. The ones that were on Mr Rogers were intended to be for aiding the handicapped they were freaking huge and didn't catch on I don't know how many they made and they were expensive as all hell. The one you're showing here looks like one of the ones that they tried to launch and may not have even gotten further than a few magazine articles and not actually put into production LOL. It's not one I'm familiar with but I've seen a few in ads growing up. I went through a robot phase as a kid forget if that was before or after dinosaurs probably before ninjas LOL.. Yeah I was one of those kids that was big and a Ninjas for a while but I think robots stuck with me longer. Evil grin what can I say I'm 46 years old and I still have a interest in artificial intelligence and Robotics. I'm just no good at programming.
I’ve got a listing up at the moment you should take a look at. It’s the Ghostbusters slime blower prototype. Im sure you’ve seen the purple piece of junk they created back in the day. Most of us played with back in the day. This one was supposed to be a smaller version of the GB2 slime blower from the movie. Dont laugh at the price though 😆😆 hey there is only 1 known so the price is a tad high 😆. But thought you might like to see it. Just think of what it would be like as a kid playing with that vs what they actually made.
Oh man!!! I need to know more about the WKRP in Cincinnati toy.?.?. It looks like it could have been an actual working record player. Loved that show and watched the reruns often as a kid. Now I own it on DVD.
Despite living in Cincinnati my whole life I've never seen an episode of WKRP. Recently somebody here got $19k for finding 2 boxed 70's Kenner Jawa figures with the vinyl cape at a local Goodwill.
Like the deadpool and wolverine action figures have been reissued , does Disney still get the money , on their sale , Cause these figures were released earlier , will now also they get the paid if I buy something ?
@That Junkman {Obscure Forgotten Toys from the 70s and 80s} would have been a better title for this video. But how in the world did you get (Shirley Booth's character Hazel Burke) from the 1960s sitcom ''Hazel''? Mixed up with (Marla Gibbs character Florence Johnston) from ''The Jeffersons''?😌No way! I had no idea that there existed 12inc doll/figures of real-life spouses [Emily Jo Peden and Doug Momary] from the "New Zoo Revue". I'm surprised that they didn't make doll/figures of the shows three costumed full-bodied puppet characters. And there was no Pig character from the New Zoo Revue. (Pigs and Hippos) are two completely different animals. But just what was it about "Henrietta Hippo" that you found to be scary? Was it her Southern accent?
I would buy that Care Bear pool inflatable now and protect him from poppers like Junkman. Do I have modern Care Bear plushies? I'm not saying. 🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫 The New Zoo Revue was before my time. I never heard of it. It looks terrible and horrifying. Thankfully I had the Muppets, Sesame Street, and Eureeka's Castle (cool and trippy puppets, but I was too old for it in 89). I took a class in high school where I programmed a lame, primitive robot like that on it's keypad. It was very hard to get it to do anything. It was like an industrial robot though. So disappointing, and it was a waste of time. I forgot about it. I was a whiz in my computer programming class though. I loved Muttley and his laugh in Wacky Races (one of the few Hanna-Barbera cartoons I liked).
@@tperson8347 I may or may not sleep with gas station and modern Care Bear plushies. 🤫🤫🤫🤫🤓🤓🤓🤓 I was getting a little too old to fully enjoy kid's pop culture after 1986 (though I enjoy it even more now 🤓🤓🤓🤓), but I thought the puppets on Eureeka's Castle were cool. They weren't from Jim Henson, but someone from his company was involved. R.L. Stine was a writer and creator. My younger brother was more into TMNT etc, though I liked the Spiral Zone cartoon from 87 a lot which feels borderline 90s now. I loved the RoboCop movie, so that's where I was. (The 80s RoboCop cartoon is decent and also is 90s-ish.) MUSCLE and Madballs began in 85. I can't remember if I had any MUSCLEs. I played with my brother's. He had a Madball I think. Battle Beasts began in 87. They were sweet, but I can't remember if I had some or if I just played with my brother's. I was hard into comics, beginning in 86, though I was buying some GI Joe in 86. My brother had later Joes like Fast Draw from 87 who was awesome and the excellent 88 Storm Shadow, maybe the best classic RAH figure, and a couple Captain Power figures who were cool and not lame and other toys. (A strength of GI Joe was older kids could still get them, though I felt too old in 86 at 12. I have many now. 🤓🤓🤓🤓) Pop culture was beginning to get trashy and cynical in the later 80s which may be why there is more nostalgia for the years before 87. In the 90s, it became more serious. Eureeka's Castle was kind of a holdover from funner years. Nintendo came to the US in 85 and became more and more popular. I loved some of those games. Toys had a hard time competing.
@@tomcruisenukedmyaccount5388 I'm not judgemental, your secret's safe with me. :) I was too late for a lot of things in the 80s, my older sister had the cool stuff.

Even though I was born a little too late, I feel I was born at the right time, in a way. 🤷♂️ I at least had all of the 90s to grow up in instead of all of the 2000s. I'm thankful for that. :)
@@tperson8347 Thanks for not telling anybody. 🤓🤓🤓🤓🤫🤫🤫🤫 I have to give GI Joe credit for lasting from 82 to 94. I consider the classic years to be 83 to 87, 82 is proto-classic, 88 to 90 are semi-classic, and 91 to 94 are not as good. (GI Joe fought aliens in 94, and the alien figures are cool.) Maybe some kids enjoyed the early 90s Joes. GI Joe had a better run than Transformers and He-Man. It's hard to know why Eureeka's Castle lasted only one season while creepy Pee Wee's Playhouse (the beginning of the decline in attitude in 86) lasted 5 and Barnie and Teletubies were huge. Maybe a lot of people didn't have cable and Nickelodeon yet, it had a female lead, and I suspect children's series need a lot of adult support, especially in the 80s when there were only one or two TVs in many houses. Maybe if it was on a network channel in an earlier year, it would have been huge and there would be nostalgia for it. We didn't have HBO beyond a giveaway month, but I saw Fraggle Rock. I never liked it, and I thought I should like it. I still think it's bad. It lasted 5 years from 83. There were some cool cartoons in the early 10s with cool toys. Transformers: Prime was awesome, and some would argue strongly it was the best era of the franchise at that time. TMNT 2012 is awesome and definitely the best era for TMNT. My Little Pony: FIM is an amazing series and one of the all time best TV series (yes, I said it, Bronies rule🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄). And there was The Clone Wars which began in 2008. (I like the 2012 Green Lantern cartoon. It deserved a better toyline.) (Pirates of Darkwater is an awesome but forgotten cartoon from the early 90s with toys, though it's style is kind of similar to Droids.)

She was supposed to be a rich orphan, or something.
But I'll always remember her as Michael Myers third victim!
that "The Revenant" lunchbox is pretty cool @7:02
Clint Howard Rules! And he really cares for that Gentle Ben, in an ungentle fashion...😂
I had the ghost gun. Slide the plastic strips in front of the light, pull the trigger, and watch the ghosts get shot.

another toy Ive never seen is called the Dolphin because as soon as it showed up in the mail my ex-wife kicked me out
It disappeared into a large cavern
Mr. Ed horse head could have been marketed as the Godfather crossed the wrong person playset.
I have a boardgame called the big guy game based on wkrp in Cincinnati
I have actually seen half of what you showed!! There was a store called Angels in my old neighborhood south Chicago that had a lot of obscure toys.
Mash jeep and general lee inflatables would be fun with the slip and slide
