I remember when the store I worked at got the Princess Diana memorial Beanie Babies. There was a riot... Some woman got her ankle broken... The police came. Watching my then boss disappear into a rabid mob of people with purple bears flying everywhere is still one of my fondest memories.
When I saw that beanie baby my childhood flashed before my eyes. Train sets, a fuzzy purple car, Cheeks the Baboon, my mother's heartbeat. Dear God I feel weird, and a bit sad. I miss when life was so simple. * a single tear rolls down my face *
I remember kids having them and that they were a game. I thought maybe they were like knuckle bones, the ancient precursor of dice. But they weren't. I didn't buy them myself.
I'm actually one of the people who sources items for them, going into thrift stores and yard sales and such to find these nostalgic things. I'm guessing they have more of me worldwide.
@@5Detective No, they went defunct quite a while ago. Worked with another version called The Nostalgia Crate for a few years, but they're gone too. It's hard to sustain a business on random retro toys.
CRAZY BONES :D I loved playing with Crazy Bones as a kid. The game you played with them was flicking them at each other to knock them over/out if I remember.
The Gogo Crazy Bones were one of my favourite things! I had milk crates full of them when I was growing up. I'll gladly take them all off of your hands haha. I've been trying to find some forever now.
They're called Go-gos Crazy Bones as I recall, and they're full of nostalgia for me. They were up there in popularity with Pokémon cards back when I was a kid
The horses in the Girls' Toy Box are from the Pony in my Pocket line - those cards are unmistakable. I remember getting some of the Puppy imP but the details were crap so I abandoned the brand. Had I known that they had upped their game by the time Pony came around I would've gotten a few despite not being a horse person. Girls' box needs more 80s! I do hope you do the girl box again; if I see that they are including more 80s stuff in it I might subscribe myself.
happydorkgirl I think I still have 3 ponies somewhere in the old toy box (my mum kept most of my sister's and my old toys), I never collected them but got given them for my birthday one year.
Those horses did look quite nicely detailed, especially compared to the Monster iMP things Stuart's shown. I am about 20% of a horse person. More a general animal person.
To be honest, seeing them piqued my interest in the line! I never really was a horse person (save the old My Little Pony, of course) but I was definitely a dolphin person. You were usually either one or the other back then. XD
The second I saw theCrazy Bones I ran into my old bedroom to check my crap drawer, and there they were! They came out for a whole 2 minutes before I put them back away to remember them in another decade or two.
"a bat slammer..that's good, that's solid you could kill a stote with that, if necessary." I couldn't stop laughing at that after imagining someone killing a stote with a slammer.
15:43 "Who remembers when people thought Beanie Babies were going to be the next big investment"? My mom and aunt were two of them. They would buy those damn things every chance they got in the late 1990's, including driving to various McDonald's to get the "exclusive" ones, and they would get two of everything. They stored them in huge plastic bins and the collection took up a lot of closet space. They asked me to put some on Ebay a couple years ago to get rid of them. I sold exactly ONE to a coworker...for *$1.00*.
Anyone else noticed that they speak very simmilarly when they look at stuff? Kinda out of nowhere jokes and whispering. And ofcourse obscure references that only really nerdy nerds will get.
Nostalgia is such a mixed bag for me. I guess for many. Often it just feels like closed off opportunities, and squashed hope. And I'm not even being sarcastic like Ashens.
Dude I had a friend who lived down the hill from me, his dad worked at a factory where they manufactured the Crazy Bones toys and it was fun as hell to play. I miss those days
wolfcaliburRX Ok, that makes sense. I guess I'm programmed to nitpick that since just about every time Buzzfeed makes a '90s list/quiz they include at least 1 thing from outside the decade.
........... okay. Since I do love The Lion King, I will tell you this: the card with Scar does not have Mufasa, that would be Simba. Simba has a brighter red mane and brighter yellow in his fur. Mufasa is darker in color. Also, there's fire in the scene on the card. From the final fight. Okay, resume. Have a wonderful day
I came to the comments in hopes of finding someone else who pointed this out, but surprisingly, this is a very common mistake people make. However, I think the fact that I watched this movie as a kid every single day is probably the reason why it's burned into my mind
The ponies I think are Ponies in my Pocket. That was Simba, not Mufasa. I still have my Beanie Babies, with tag protectors. It was genuinely painful to see you rip that tag. Gogo's were so much fun until people threw them at your head. Pogs were also fun. And that concludes the end of my nostalgia for this video. Thanks for not reading.
It isn't often that I recognise much from these boxes (maybe I was too young in the 90s to remember many of my toys? I don't know XD) but seeing those pogs was such a blast from the past! I wish I could remember where I put them all! Such an addictive game XD
BioDomeWithPaulyShor Yes. Actually I think that screenshot is from one of the mini documentaries where they talk about the character models. And, yes, I saw the Attack of the Clones Bonus DVD.
I don't know how it is in England, but in America "Rub off" is something rather... rude we'll say. Like something you might get caught doing in the shower...
I remember Gogos. Me and my brother managed to collect all of them. The way you played is: each player bets a couple of his Gogos by standing them up next to a wall. Then the other player throws a Gogo and gets to keep the ones he knocked over. Or something like that. It was a pretty big thing at my school.
I remember that in 1990's all girls played with a Tamagotchi (or other virtual pet), Furby or Barbies. And then there were lots of peeing and pooping baby and animal toys that everyone had.
my heart broke when he opened the loony toons. I was transported to the arcade in sunset mall where I habitually wasted half my allowance playing for tickets to buy cards, stickers and tattoos. p.s. totally jealous of the Batman pogs especially Harley Quinn and the red slammer.
Those horses are from "Pony in my Pocket." I have the brown one. There were two other series "Puppy in my Pocket" and "Kitty in my pocket" I have a bunch of them. (read: a box FULL of them. XP ) I was really into them at the time. I have most, if not all, of them. No clue if they're valuable or not though. Some of them have better detail that others.
+George Sampson Allow me to recap the last lootcrate he opened up on camera for you: "Oh looky a T shirt with Archer! This box ain't got many things in it, but it doesn't have that fucking loot pin! The best thing evar! Wow, a Harley Quinn Q Figure! And you can remind yourself of tha- Blah blah blah! I'm throwing a cheap potshot at a DC comics movie several people liked, because I'm Ashens and I think all DC live action movies that aren't the Donner Superman or the Burton Batman are shite! Eeehhhhh!!!!" I think that's the gist of it.
You actually made me look up "The great red dragon and the woman clothed with the sun". Thanks for pointing me towards those magnificent paintings. Also, the Gogos were used in a kind of game similar to Pog, where you would agree to an amount of Gogos you'd be willing to bet and then you'd all line them up in a fashion similar to bowling and use another Gogo as the "ball" and you got to keep the ones you knocked over. There were other variants such as something similar to beer pong (two lines on each players side and you had to knock over the other player's Gogos in order to keep them) and even a variant similar to pitching pennies, throwing them against a wall with the winner being the one whose Gogo lands nearest to the wall. Weird how many popular children's games resemble adult gambling and are somehow legal.
You might wanna watch the movie "Red Dragon" by Brett Rattner which is based upon the picture, or the earlier version of the movie "Manhunter" by Michael Mann, which is a lot better, but iirc doesn't have references to the picture anymore.
I'm nearly the exact same age as Ashens, and I had forgotten those Pacman stickers / scratchies existed. I had those as a kid too - as I did the Britains Star Guards / Aliens / Mutants - had quite an extensive collection of the modular sets. NOW I WANT THE PACMAN THINGIES, DAMMIT!
Those little hunks of plastic are, depending on where you're from and the time period, called either 'Gogos' or 'Crazy Bones'. They were essentially collectable marbles, and came with a book explaining the 'games' you could play with them. I thought they were the coolest thing in the universe in 2nd Grade.
I used to collect those toy horses as a kid back in the 90's. I think they were called "Pony in my pocket". They also had Kitty in my pocket and Puppy in my pocket toys that I collected. But I'm very pleased to say that I was playing decent games back then and I've never played a Barbie video game in my life. :P
I still collect the old In My Pocket toys. There is actually a whole forum of people who still collect them. If they are mint in pack they go for quite a bit on ebay. You're right about the Barbie, although I can't say my taste in Game Boy games was significantly better than Barbie. I had a Bugs and Lola game, as well as a Smurfs game and Wacky Races. I think I also had a few Disney games too, but then I was about 11 at the time.

I completely forgot that Crazy Bones were a thing. Used to play those all the time.
I used to have a bunch. Still own a couple of them.
I remember kids having them and that they were a game. I thought maybe they were like knuckle bones, the ancient precursor of dice. But they weren't. I didn't buy them myself.
I also used to have crazy bones (also known as Jojos). Mine were a different set.
Crazy bones were a huge fad in my youth. Will never forget when i opened my first packet and found a sharkey!
Thanks to the Dollar Tree grab bags i had tons of Crazy Bones
tom wyatt I got bag full of them
I remember my dad buying them from a boot sale for me, and them just sitting on my shelf for years before I ever looked up what they actually were.
I remember I had over 100, but I never bought a single pack.
I found one on the floor and won the rest.
+Jaw Ji ..... So were actually playing for keeps... Damn.
I made an audible gasp when he ripped the Beanie Baby's tag.
...What is my life...
If the tag goes, the magic goes with it.
Drenkrod exactly!
I liked it, it proved the late 90's me right
I died a little.
I cringed, it was like someone ripping a toenail off. Painful...
While rolling a comic up should be punishable by death, that turned me back into a little kid seeing transformers again.
where the heck do they find this stuff? do they have people showering through every charity shop in the country or do they just have a time machine?
I'm guessing all this stuff has been sat in a dark corner in some warehouse and who ever does these boxes has somehow inherited it all.
I'm actually one of the people who sources items for them, going into thrift stores and yard sales and such to find these nostalgic things. I'm guessing they have more of me worldwide.
