@@downfromtheattic i have my sights on 2 different purchases that are worth it from my sights. one is 50 dollars for 3 characters and the motorbike, and 3 extra characters for 14 dollars the only problem is the ebay page goes down in 3 - 8 days and i dont have any of the 80 dollars i need :( p.s. thank you for making this episode. you have inspired me to try my best to get money p.s.s. im 15 thus i have school work for highschool everday :(
I used to have the Crash Test Center as a kid. I used to put it, the Ghostbusters Firehouse and the WWF Wrestling Ring all next to each other for a street fighting mega set. Colossus would throw Hulk Hogan through the brick wall, while Wolverine was doing a double claw dive into the Terminator at center ring from the roof. Good times.
I still have my red crash car, near mint condition with all parts. Surprisingly in decent shape for as much as I played with it. I had the motorcycle too but lost it in a move a long time ago in an attic far far away lol. I have slick, the original crash dummy action figure, but he doesn't hold together like he used to. Great video 😁 brings back great memories!
@@downfromtheattic yeah it's crazy how well they have held up. I remember my mom saying she thought it would only last about 6 months to a year then break apart but nope! Over 20 years later still working and in great shape. It's a shame they don't make toys with this type of quality anymore.

This is awesome... Really took me down memory lane :) my friend had alot of these and we would spend hours smashing into things :) cant believe how long ago this was now.... Brilliant toy line :) don't make them like they use to :) subscribed.. Keep up the good work buddy
Absolutely loved these toys! Luckily I wasn't too rough with them when I was younger, and I as I got older I stashed them away with the rest of my toys. I'll have to dig them out and let my son enjoy them, seeing as how they are meant to be played with. I'm more favorable towards the first series of figures and vehicles, and was bummed that later figures lost the button exploding feature, but that didn't stop me from buying them :)
I just bought a big bunch of these toys including crash centre and like 7 vehicles. These are at the top of the list of hard to find classic toys that still function and are in a ok state because well there made for crashing so heavily played is common. Please treasure yours if you have some of them there worth more then motu. And there awesome would be a shame if people forgot about this .
I had no idea that the collectibility of them had rocketed up so quickly! I've still held onto mine, still got them, it seems the most difficult things to find are figures in working state still. they're not easy to repair if the springs inside the bodies no longer hold the limbs. Hope you're enjoying them too! The cars are pretty hardy, and can be fixed quite easily
I had the yellow taxi when I was 7- I completely forgot about it until I stumbled across your video. Great video, and thanks for jogging my memory! Get to crashing- fantastic.
There was a crash test dummy baby that came with a stroller. Remember that? That one cracked me up back in the day. A baby in a crash test dummy stroller. Most of these toys never survived. The dummy's I had kept breaking and the arms or heads wouldn't stay on. I had a car and it broke pretty quickly and wouldn't stay toghther. My son wishes he had cool stuff like this. We had some cool toys back in the 80's and 90's. I feel bad for kids these days.
No I don't remember the crash test baby! Wow, that's incredibly dark! I know what you mean about the pegs on the figures, they are fragile and I have had breakages over the years. Been fortunate in a few cases where I've been able to find the broken peg and glue it. Have seen people replace the pegs with 3D printed ones too. But I totally agree, the 80s and 90s were the greatest for toys and games
Still have the red car, motorcycle and crash test center in storage haven't been played with since the early 90s I remember both being very fun, never seen the skid loader before. Might have had the chair too, looks familiar. Probably rare to see boxes for these still, unfortunately my brother and I tossed them for toys like this. Still kicking myself for throwing out my forbidden bridge and grape escape boxes
I'd love them to but I think ironically a lot of toy safety laws have pretty much stopped any chance of that happening. Toys with spring loaded bits are pretty much non existent now and the amount of small parts too. It's a shame, but glad I had them when I did :)
I had the VHS tape for a very long time, it's long since gone. There was a number of adverts on the tv at the time with the same cgi animation using the dummies to promote seatbelt safety. Such a 90s way of doing things, you gotta love it
@@downfromtheattic Too bad the series was cancelled before it got off the ground, I can imagine kids in the 90s, even kids in modern times, would enjoy watching the dummies crash fall apart. Cause as the theme song says: The best man for the job is a dummy.
@@downfromtheattic As a kid I always thought that the show got picked up for a series, turns out I was just watching the same VHS. At 27 none of my friends had heard of these toys or the show. I was starting to worry I was losing my mind until I found it on TH-cam. These toys bring back some good memories, though I'm 99% sure I lost all their legs within a few days haha
Actually I have 2 crash cars and they're both exact same but they're not complete but the seatbelts are still nice and rubbery I don't get why yours have almost perished.
Oh man, great overview. I had the crash center the taxi, plane and bulls truck. Which would pop up and send into a barrel role. My dad made me get rid of them for a spring clean . Great toy line
Im 15 and can't contain myself. im going to do as many chores so i can at least buy the motorbike with 3 characters for 50 bucks not to mention an extra 14$ purchase. i got about 3 days to make it to 50 and 8 days to get an extra 14. im so excited and its 1:46 a.m. where i am
Well the dummy flip over truck has a battering ram to ko junkbots and the dummy dirt digger does not crash it scoops up junkbots and throws them in the dumpster.

Some from childhood but my brother surprised me on my 21st birthday with a huge box of them, no clue how much he paid but as a student at the time, I'm guessing cheap :D Still happy to own them, they're fantastic toys
@@downfromtheattic I remember having them as a kid but only when I saw this video pop up. I've just brought one from ebay boxed for £40! With original receipt, £12.49 in 1992.

The nostalgia! I had the car, plane and cannon haha!
My brother had the Crash Cab, Junkman, and Bull.
One of my fav toys growing up..also they had a massive advertising presences...i still remember there commercials
I freaking loved these tows, I always lost limbs from the guys but it was pretty great!

Holy shit that brings back some memories! I might even still have it in the loft.

Yes sir tyco rc made them cool memories when I was six seven yrs old
I think the scoop digger was meant to pick up the bad guys....since it was fairly new to the show..they wanted it to promote the dummies vs junk bots😁
I have the chair and a lot of dummies. Loved them when I was a child. Miss those days! :(

how have you only got 800 subscribers?? This level of nostalgia deserves more accolade!!!
Probably because people are annoyed by someone reading a script in a robotic voice.
I cant believe this is your first video it's really good
Wow. I miss those.
Good channel btw
Always wanted a crash dummy set 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Which crash dummy car/plane is your favorite.
My favourite is probably the jackknife racer (the F1 car), bits go flying in all directions with that one, it's impressive
Incredible crash dummies vhs came with purple junkman or ted figures.
Great review. Please do an update with the Test Centre
Worth some money now
best toy ever
Some company should bring them back
I'd love them to but I think ironically a lot of toy safety laws have pretty much stopped any chance of that happening. Toys with spring loaded bits are pretty much non existent now and the amount of small parts too. It's a shame, but glad I had them when I did :)
I had a tone of the crash dummies toys, hope I still have them somewhere.
Here's hoping that you do, they're excellent toys
The video that started it all.
If these released today, they would still impressive a successful
They really should release a complete DVD of the 4kids Crash Dummies series including the CGI animation you speak of!

The crash dummies were introduced in 1991 not 1990 but lasted until 1994 1995.

🤯🤯😍😍 any chance i could buy some of those vehicles shown 👀🙏🏻♥️
Cool
I do have something similar, it is called NASCAR bashers. It came out 20 years later.
Just looked those up, they seem like a lot of fun, guessing if you had a few of them you could make some pretty impressive wrecks
I have 9 cars,1 launcher, and 1 ramp.
Edit: I now have 11 cars, one truck, and 2 ramps/launchers.
I got some of these from a toy show I did an unboxing videos on my channel
I found an incredible crash test dummy arm(green) at the thrift store today
