- With some time on my hands on a sunny Sunday morning, I decided to visit the Shepton Mallet Toy Fair, located in the South West of the UK.
I've had some great finds recently, so not looking for anything in particular. I'm just gonna chill and browse.
Let's see what we can find, let's see who can we meet.

Hi, I'm VTR Dave. A Brit on a mission to curate a high-quality and diverse collection of vintage toys, known as the VT aRchive.
A homage to the iconic toys of the 70s & 80s to be shared with as many enthusiasts as possible, right here on this channel. And who knows, perhaps in the future, on display in a public space like a museum. Now, wouldn't that be something!
Subscribe to stay updated as I search for vintage toys, lovingly restore them, delve into their history, and piece by piece, construct the VT aRchive.
As always, thanks goes out to everyone who supports the channel. Every view, like & comment is appreciated.
Stay safe & cheers! - Zábava
Thanks for stopping by!! Appreciate you all 🤘 Let me know if you spot anything you would pick up! Cheers, Dave. 👍
Love these toyhunts you do. Always fun to come along by watching ypur videos 👍😉
Thanks Chris! 🤘 Really appreciate your support as always 🤘
Great video VTR, always nice to see what's about at the latest toy fairs. Glad you had a great time and met up with some cool dudes! Cherry on the top, nice pick ups!
Thanks Dez!! 🤘 Yeah, this time really was just a chill-out visit, no expectations to find anything 👍
Some nice pickups there Dave! Great vid, thanks for sharing!
Thanks! 🤘 Pleased with the Robocop pickup! 👍
Brilliant video, really well put together 😊👍
Thanks Dominic!! 🤘 Appreciate the comment, this CZcams stuff isn't easy 👍
Just fantastic mate
Cheers Brian!! 🤘
Great video Dave and there was certainly lots of good stuff on the stalls. I had a brilliant time spent there browsing and talking to people and bumping into you. Very nice Robocop pickup too!
Thanks Jeff! 🤘 It was great to finally meet you. And you're right, there's nothing more relaxing than just browsing and chatting on a Sunday 👍
Awesome catching up again at the show, Jax is officially in 4 CZcams videos now 😂
Ha ha!! Jax will be a CZcams sensation soon 👍 Good to see you!!
Nice grab on the RoboCop bike. Love that line because they’re toys from R rated movies and the cap feature is sweet. Cool to see the mobile command with Action instead on the side. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks! Yeah, always amusing when they release toys for R rated!!
Another great video!
Thanks Ed! 🤘
Good to meet you Dave👍
And you Jules! Thanks for spending time walking round and having a chat 👍
Good c you dave 🇬🇧🤠🇺🇸
Cheers Jon 🇬🇧🥊🇺🇸
Some cool items here! That massive He-Man figure would have come home with me if I could afford it, I'd love one of those!
Thanks for taking us along with you Dave!
Hey Dave!! Thanks! 🤘 When I saw the He-Man I thought what line is that from cause it stood out! I still don't know, where is it from?
@VintageToyRush I don't know either! I don't think it was something that was available at retail or I'd have seen it before. I found one online that had been 3D printed but it didn't look as smooth as the one in your video. I shall investigate further!
Nice video again, keep up the good work
Thanks Marc!! 👍
Great video
Thanks, appreciate it!! 🤘
Another great fair Dave, and nice pick up too!!! Saw i lovely star com shadow bat in there as well!!!
But!…..I had no idea Dc deflector did custom size cases!!!😮 that will help me massively!!!! Thanks for the info man 👍👊
Cheers Luke!! 🤘 Ha ha, I didn't even spot the Starcom until your comment, not at the show, not while editing 🤣 We've spoken about the Deflector cases, fingers crossed these work out for us 👍
Awesome video Dave!
Cheers Mike!! 🤘
Gret vid - Last time I went to Shepton was about 18 months ago and they had barely any vintage action figures and there werent any traders on the top floor so glad to see things have improved.
Ah yes! It's definitely hit and miss which is why I don't attend too often as it's a longer drive for me 👍
I always look forward to new videos from you. I'm from Germany; we don't have as many toy events as you have. Nice video again, keep up the good work
Thanks Marc!! 🤘 Really appreciate your comment and thanks for the support. We do have a lot of events here in the UK - most of them are quite small. I've seen / know a number of collectors from Belgium & Netherlands, but yeah not seen a toy fair from Germany... yet 👍
@@VintageToyRush check out the biggest Toy Event in Germany September 14th - 15th : TOYPLOSION; this is now number two; I visited last year already; absolute crazy!
@@marcd.4301 i'll look that one up!!!
Mate an incredible toy fair indeed, was good to see stalls name and some classic doctor who toys in the wild, I also love kenners robocop series great pickup on the skull hog that is one I’m tracking down for my collection too and always good to see a variety toy goodness, great job 👏🏻
Hey Ryan!! Yeah, always enjoyable to spot some vintage Dr Who! Although they can be pricey! Robocop is one of those lines I pick up if it's a good deal 😎 The box on the Skull Hog is a little tired but was only £20, so very pleased. Thanks for watching!! 👍
@@VintageToyRush same I only get drwho or robocop stuff occasionally if it’s a good price too, but £20 for the skull hog that’s a good deal 👍🏻 I’ve been trying to get the robo-cycle but again it’s always high $50-80AUD but sometimes you get a win like you did, great job 👍🏻
Great video. I like it when you take your time at the different vendors.
Thanks!! 🤘 I try to be a little different to the usual toy fair videos. Both sellers and buyers have thanked me for allowing them connect up after watching one of these videos 👍
💪😎

Nice tour of the show and items discovered, Dave. Cool Robocop Motorcycle. With the more expensive show items, I wonder what the sales percentage might be for a lot of the sellers. I guess it depends on buyers at the show, and any bargaining of the final price. If they keep returning to the shows, they must be having some success. Thanks.
Thanks!! 🤘 I've often wondered about sellers who return with the same items show after show. If I was a dealer I'd be wanting to shift stuff as quickly as possible. But I think some dealers are happy to actually keep the items in their collection for a while 🤣
@@VintageToyRush Good point. Thanks. Yes, also to show some of their collectibles, sometimes more than wanting to sell. Although renting a spot costs money, so hopefully they are able to sell their less expensive items.
@@BlackArroToons Yeah, they must be covering their costs. I've never sold anything LOL so really not sure how much they could make in one show
We do love a VTR Toy fair/hunt ☺Vintage toy goodness is off the charts in this video 😲Been seeing a few Clash of the Titans figs in the wild lately. Do you have those Dave? Thanks for sharing another brilliant toy fair mate 👌
Cheers Matt & Andy!! 🤘 Glad you're able to come along for the ride! I do have the Clash of the Titans figures except the Kraken of course! I've been on the lookout but haven't found one at a price I like yet 😎
G'day Dave, Wonderful video. That Wolfman figure (maybe mego ?) at 1:35 looked very interesting. I would of been keen on him. Thanks for sharing. Cheers.
Thanks! 🤘 Oh yeah, that Wolfman is cool!! I think the only Wolfman in my collection is the Remco 3.75 one - love those figures 👍
@@VintageToyRush G'day Dave, Ohh that Ramco 3.75 wolfman sound nice. He would fit nicely in the background of a Palitoy Cantina Playset. Just hanging out with Hammerhead and snaggletooth. Cheers.
@@Teriyaki_Emu Ha ha!! He would! fit right in. Some of those Universal Monster figures have vinyl capes just like Vader! Definitely influenced by Star Wars styling.
I have that McDonald's Train Set and all the Dolls. 💪😎
No way!! Have you done a video on those, gonna have to watch if you have. Might see if I can find a few of them. I just love they were released by Remco 🤘
I am thinking of going to the one in Coventry in a few weeks. Have you been to it before ?
Hey Stephen, I've not been to the Coventry one but looks like it's organised by BP fairs, should be good. If you go, would be interested to hear what you think. Would love to visit a few more further north like Conventry & Doncaster.
@@VintageToyRush Will do, its about a 2 hour drive for me but would be nice to get some footage to put on here.
