Video

12:23 - 12:40 See the tiny bot with a little blue book, I had one of those, can't remember if he did very much, but it was 'powered' by either one AA or two AAA batteries and I got him out of the Argos book. I also liked the nod to the intro to Buck Rogers in the 25th Century. Nice video, look forward to the next one.

I had a couple of Firestar 1s in grey. Didn’t know they came in other colours. I think those are the only thing I had of this particular line though.

Uh, correction: There were three TRON Lightcycle vehicles produced, a yellow one, a red one and a blue one. I know this for a fact because I have the blue and red lightcycles myself.

I had Zem 21 and always wanted Zeroid and the ship. I didnt care a lick about them being Star Wars knock offs. They were just cool toys to me.

BigTrak, Micronauts series II, and UFO Commander 7 were dope as hell.

Not sure when i first saw the Rascal Robots but there were similar wind up walking robots long before Star Wars.

Always crossed played with my Star Wars, Micronauts, Metal men, Shogun Warriors and various others.

The Vin-CENT figure was a solid one with lots of playability. the head opened and closed, as well as spun. The legs could extend or collapse. The rest of the figures were very meh. As was Maximellian.

Before these toys were sold in stores Milton Bradley tested their toys with kids back in the 70s. I was in middle school and I had gone to school in Longmeadow Massachusetts, the president of MB had a daughter in my class. We all were paid $5 I believe to go to a room at the company's plant in East Longmeadow. We were put in a room that had all of these toys. I specifically remember picking the Big Trac. It was awesome!

I have 4 of the Rascal Robots among my old Star Wars figures to this day... Still work!

Anybody remember Laser Force?

I had all the Power Lords figures. They seemed huge compared to the typical Star Wars figure size. Also, I’m surprised you didn’t mention the Robo Force half-hour animated show “The Revenge of Nazgar”. It was a pilot for a regular animated series but it never got picked up. I recorded it on a VHS tape I watched many times, but I believe it was only aired once, and to most of the general public it was lost media for years until it was included in a DVD set for the Gobots cartoon.

There was a mattel toy line of astronauts and vehicles prior to star wars that was popular. Major Matt sumthin ....Around the same time as the gi joe toys. Really cool stuff. Some media on CZcams, and vintage items still on eBay.

No Micronauts

Being a kid in Poland I had several Galaxy Warriors figures. And I was happy! I would probably go to my family and ask if some of them are still there, I recvall even having some weapons.

I had the Star Fortress, when I was a kid. I remember it came with the plastic space men.

16:52 & 17:03 The two-headed dragon is actually based on the dragon from the Bert I Gordon fantasy movie *The Magic Sword*

I had some of these figures. I loved those AD&D Instant Rub-down Picture Transfers when I was little.

I had some of these. Looking back now, the sculpts were awful.

Puts on video “Oh man, can’t wait to see Tiamat. … any minute now … must be waiting for a big finale … uh…

I remember a cartoon called Thundar the barbarian it was a cool show!

51 now, still have the sea shark set complete but without the box, bought by my mother when I was a kid ❤

You lefto ut Captain Zargon and Space Ranger for Palitoys Action Man. And toys based on tv series Terrahawks which had their own Zeroid characters

I was reminded of Buck Rogers starfighter when i first watched Rogue One in 2016 and saw Andors U-wing

I could have sworn that Target did a Universal Monsters thing one Halloween

Trex terx

Interesting, but terrible figures

The Kenner Y-Wing photo is from Transformerland, but they're not in the image credits! Transformerland is cool with image use if they're credited.

You helped me jog alot of great forgotten memories with these videos. Thank you id love to see more like this. Subbed !

I still have the octopus! My parents bought the octopus and a lobster and whale for me out of a box during a visit to Cape Cod. I had no idea this playlet existed! Great review.

Great video!

So in the late 70’s I came across a toy display with my grandparents in the local Woolco. They told me I could get shogun Godzilla or great mazinga. It was n o contest! I still own Godzilla to this day. The kraken was advertised in a store called consumers distributing but was never in stock. I still have my Perseus and Thallo from the line! Fantastic review!

What a fantastic review. Thanks for this! I too had a great time with these sets as a kid. My fisher price castle was assaulted many times by the forces of evil! Not sure why I remember those times so incredibly well but misplace my phone regularly!

Does anyone know the name of the space ship in the intro pic with 3 on it. Astronaut sits in it middle rotates

These toys were before my time but damn, I would've loved having these as a kid!

It was one of the best times to be a kid. I absolutely loved my red and black demons.

the Sea Explorer may have been my first "big" set - the Search Team, i'm pretty sure, was my last my little sister had the scuba diver raft these toys were awesome

Ok now that's a incredible documentary about this toys

i would suggest you stop eating glass before doing the voiceovers. that shit makes people want to end their lives

I LOVE this video so much! Rewatching with nostalgic tears in my eyes. 🥲 Your presentation is perfect. Such awesomely researched details. Sea Wees are my most favourite childhood toy (MLP’s sea ponies being a close second). I long for a reissue of Sea Wees with even more accessories and variations. Alas it is unlikely to happen… Sunny was my favourite but her gold paint oxidised to a green color.😢 Thank you for an emotional trip down memory lane. 💗🧜🏻‍♀️🧜🏼‍♀️🧜🏿‍♀️💗

I had three sets and lived them. My son now plays with them.

I missed out on this. He-Man came out when I was in 5th grade, and I had stopped playing with action figures. I still watched the cartoon, but I was all about sports and video games. I didn't go back to action figures until I was in my 20's. 😂 (and it's mainly been with Spider-Man figures).

I just found a good handful of the bad guys today at a flea market $1 each and a broken footed bronze dragon, absolutely amazing toys.

Excellent video! Took me way back with some very happy memories 😊

Im glad that the satanic panic is over. Even if i wasnt in that timeline, which i wasn't. That moral panic was absolute garbage! 🗑️

Wow, this is blast from the past! I actually still have the Glacier Bay CD from page 28, that I bought back in the day in either Charlotte, NC, or Atlanta, GA.

my dad bought me this jaws chem toy its the other version he bought it online

Rubber sharks and Jiggler skeletons a staple New Jersey boardwalk souvenir

I’ve still got hundreds of them old AAA, Imperial, Do Mei, Impro, Tetleys, Marx, M.K. and cereal Box Dinos in the Attic and a handful of those Invicta’s from the Museum all collected back in the 80’s and 90’s

I can almost still smell the rubber from the Diener erasers.
