Warduke might be the most iconic action figure of the 80s! Tho I didn't notice you mentioning the battlematic version with the less mobile leg movement and the lever on his back that made his arm go up and down.
subscribed....like watching 40yr old virgin but in real life and not a movie. Your collection is awesome and reminds me of my childhood. Toys from the 80's were the best. I sold all of mine 10 years ago for top dollar and glad I did since that was the peak during the last boom. Now everything from the 90's is red hot because people in their 30's are collecting toys from their childhood. Very cool channel and keep it up.
Nice!! Multi-part D&D Toy vid.. *They were arguably the Best (them & DC's ALSO Beautifully colored **#SUPERPOWERS** Line)!* Alot of D&D figures were hard to find up here @theTwins in the 80's.. Toy stores always had the sets & the boring rubber solid figure line which weren't as much fun.. So most everyone was All G.I.Joe & later Transformers.
The sword is supposed to be straight. The plastic used in the weapons was very soft and flexible, and it tended to stay bent. I collect these figures & I've had bent swords. I dip the sword in boiling water to soften the plastic (sword tip pointing down), then immediately dip it into cold water.
+teppest11 Yah that is a mystery that I've asked. But I hope that they can wait until I've finished all 9 videos. There is talks of a possible movie, so maybe we will get them soon!
I don't have much faith in Hasbro for anything. Their Star Wars figures are going back to the basic 5 POA and that pretty much sucks. If love to see a new line of D&D figures, but I just don't see it happening. We've been waiting forever for new Micronauts figures/toys too.
I just recently purchased a lot of 17 figures and 3 of the mounts from both series 1 and 2 off of Ebay for $265 all lose. All but 2 of the figures have all of the accessories that originally came with the figures. I also purchased Hook Horror for $10.00. Today I bought the holy grail of the line with a purchase of Tiamat for $350.00. I know I paid quit high for that one but it is so rare to see it up for auction I had to get it for what ever the cost. I need to purchase Deeth and Mandoom, and one dragon to complete the line for figures and monster and mounts.
Melf is a famous character in the AD&D RPG - being the play test character of Gary Gygax’s son Luke and the author of a number of spells in the original AD&D Player’s Handbook. Funny they changed his name, maybe there were legal issues after Gary Gygax was ejected from TSR?
Thank you for taking so much time and effort to make such a highly informative and detailed series of reviews of one of my favorite childhood toy-lines , I would love to see a modern day War-duke and Strong-heart produced , many thanks .
These were awesome. I remember them being on the shelves in a hobby store in the '80s. But as much as I liked them, especially as already being a D&D fan. But I was also a major AD&D cartoon fan, so didn't appreciate these as much as I could have; I was distracted by how other than a few they weren't connected at all to the show. Had they had at least Hank or Eric or one of the others, maybe. But not a one. Warduke was awesome though; the Boba Fett of the D&D crowd. Cool video.
Working my way through your videos at the moment & really enjoying your channel. I started collecting toys in the 70's so love your Mego stuff. Was never really into the fantasy stuff but slowly getting into it. Your room set up is amazing as you have it today
I heard FAO Schwarz shut down for good. A great loss. Watching this video for the first time I was thinking you would be right to do a fare well trubute. I know how youtube is about copyrights. Welcome to our world of toys I had the one in S.F to go to super expensive but that made it fun like Disneyland. All thee super expansive Lego's. I did buy a Gi Joe figure there once B.A.T.S opened it on the bus ride home loved the color combo on that figure.
I'm a few years late but this was wonderful! I recently Ebay'd a few of these old figures that I had as a kid and its fantastic to see the whole series and all their accessories! I'll be watching part 2 tomorrow as I know I had at least 2 or 3 of the series 2 figures! Great Video!
I love these figures and characters. To me, they are iconic personalities of heroes and villains. I first got a few if them in the 80s, than later became entranced by the characters through the two Marvel story books and the cartoon.
@@toy_room_of_insanity I have figured out how to thread something up and through the middle post but I can’t find the right material to use to get a snug fit
Unfortunately LJN did not make them. However there was other companies who made PVC figures of the animated characters. Watch this video of mine th-cam.com/video/LlvNfegawUM/w-d-xo.html
+Mark Demeo (ARCTROOPERMARK) Thanks a lot Mark. I really hope that you get back into making videos soon! You should come up with something that will suit you for making videos. The force is with you, always!!!!
Great video Count. You are the excellence of execution. Can't say these toys are my favorite, but a deserving addition to the Toy Room of Insanity. Looking forward to next show, and thank you for sharing.
Love the video and the new format of the Toy Room of Insanity! My only feedback is less edits/cuts in the intro/monolog. (None would be best!) I was zeroing in on them...other than that Love the new look! My "free" two-cents...; )

This is the toy review format I've been searching for all these years. Nice work!
Thanks a lot. I enjoy making videos however I do have my moments where I make mistakes or find out later that my info is off. But I have fun!

Wareduke is awesome!!!!! Checkout part 2 of this series of videos for the battlematic Warduke!

i like how stronghearts sword is curved like a japanese katana its cool :3

A awesome line I still don't know why Hasbro hasn't released a line D&D figures hell they owned since the late 90's
+teppest11 Yah that is a mystery that I've asked. But I hope that they can wait until I've finished all 9 videos. There is talks of a possible movie, so maybe we will get them soon!

You all I bet are happy now my walmart just got dungens and dragons by hasbro in so urs should as well
@9:06 - The shield "& THE SWORD" ya mean. I still have that Yellow sword & DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WENT WITH UNTIL JUST NOW!
Shield AND SWORD . There is more than one difference .
Sorry, I made this video some time ago. What are you referencing too?
I remember the heads breaking off these really easy
Yah I have read that they come off easy. It's too bad

That's great. Glad you grab all of those! I still need to Mercion 2" figure. She is extremely hard to find!
What’s the 2”go for?
Great video, adored these figures when I was a kid. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks a lot for watching!
I've got that figures, all of them in 2006 and I really love them... I watch the TV episodes in 1985 and I love the realm of D&D....
I love this toy line. Great video!
Thank you 🤗
I have almost the whole collection currently. Most are in storage, because my lack of display space, unfortunately.
BTW, Warduke is left-handed, as are Elkhorn and Peralay.
I had the shiny Strong Heart but Mine came with a different , more detailed sword... and My War Duke came with a cape also .

Thank you very much! I hope that one day we will get new toys. That may come soon. There is a possible D&D movie brewing!!!!!!!
I had most of these figures as well...thank you for posting this. I'm 51 now.
That is awesome and thank you!

That's awesome. Enjoy the videos. I did discover a couple mistakes I made in 1 or 2 videos, but it's not a big deal
Pretty cool i used have some of these...still have one of the wizards, always liked the midget guy..... warduke was awesome...
Warduke is the man!
Awesome job on the presentation of the 80's D&D toys! Those were definitely some of the coolest toys of the 80's! No doubt.
Thank you so much. I had a lot of fun making these videos!
Have you done a video on those Lord of the Ring figures that you have in your showcase?
Oh heck yah I have. Here's the link..... th-cam.com/video/uGQn-F5xnng/w-d-xo.html
20:52 the paint on the variant is a lot brighter too and the eyes are a lot more clear and defined
Gotta love variants
Can't wait for the neca update of all these figures.
Heck yah! I preordered both figures
I love these figures and characters. To me, they are iconic personalities of heroes and villains. I first got a few if them in the 80s, than later became entranced by the characters through the two Marvel story books and the cartoon.
You have a great collection, Count!
9:34 the swords are different color too the blade itself
Thanks for pointing that out. I will check it out
This video blew my mind. Still got them all in a shoebox
Thanks a lot! I loved making these videos. Glad you still have your figure.
Beautiful collection. I have a Warduke that is very loose in the legs. How do you repair them?
I wish I knew. I don't think I've ever seen one repaired.
@@toy_room_of_insanity I have figured out how to thread something up and through the middle post but I can’t find the right material to use to get a snug fit
Wow. Just now realizing that we had 4 of these growing up. This whole channel is great btw.
Thank you and I hope you subbed!
The eyes on warduke belt are painted also
Great, thanks for noticing that
I had an elkhorn and I think a war duke.
Did they do a series of figures from the animated show?
Unfortunately LJN did not make them. However there was other companies who made PVC figures of the animated characters. Watch this video of mine th-cam.com/video/LlvNfegawUM/w-d-xo.html
How do you fix the O rings on these guys?
Good question. I have never repaired one of these figures. I wonder if there is any info here on the net
Kelik also is bald head on the back of his head vs the good wizard having hair .
Ah good point!
what are the holder things you use tyo hold them up for display?
Those are Kaiser doll stands
@@toy_room_of_insanity thank you, do you know what size of them i would need for these figures?
a great detailed video of this toy line.
+Mark Demeo (ARCTROOPERMARK) Thanks a lot Mark. I really hope that you get back into making videos soon! You should come up with something that will suit you for making videos. The force is with you, always!!!!
One of my favorite toy lines ever! Great collection and review Count!
+DrTwistidsRealm Thanks a lot man!
Just picked up my first ever 3 AD&D figures, then came home and found this channel on TH-cam.
It's been a good day for AD&D.

Some of them more than once!

Great video Count. You are the excellence of execution. Can't say these toys are my favorite, but a deserving addition to the Toy Room of Insanity. Looking forward to next show, and thank you for sharing.
+John Wild Thanks a lot for watching man. It's all about the history lessons to be told for generations!
+Count Stankus Agree. Future generations need to understand the power of imagination. These toys did that very well.
+John Wild That's for sure! For we are the "Keeper of Legends" from the 70's & 80's!
count stankus great d n d. toy review look forward to part two.
+drawingbyhand The adventure has just begun. Enjoy!!!!
