7 Unproduced Playsets! Aliens, Super Powers, Remco, Rock Lords, Captain Planet - Toy History #4

[@dcambel943]

The Aliens playset looks awesome.

[@JeweLinHisHans]

Best part of 80s-90s toys was making furniture and mountains out of laundry piles and shoe boxes.

[@BlackArroToons]

Great video! For 10:00 I always wondered why Dungeons & Dragon's base on the animated TV show didn't offer the original heroes first. I bought "Warduke" I think it's spelled, and a cool figure as a kid, but back then, had to try to have him join my Star Wars figures, since I think only two D&D figures were sold. Could've been a cool set to collect.

[@VMIFerrari]

The 4 vehicles produced by Galoob for the _Aliens/Predator_ Action Fleet line (which included the Marine Armored Personnel Carrier, Drop Ship, Narcissus Shuttle, and the Predator ship) are all very rare and sell for big bucks on Ebay. Loose examples sell for $70+ and sealed ones routinely sell for _$100 - $300._ That playset would have been AWESOME. Such a shame Galoob decided not to produce it.

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Awesome looking sets 😍

The only kids I knew that owned playsets had drug dealer parents. I could only afford the action figures. I lived in Queens, NY and then Miami in the eighties.

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Figurea were also cool 🤓🤘

[@Carlos_Balli]

My couch and bed were my playsets, couldn’t afford them back then :(

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

I only had the sewer playset but a lot of times i would use the couch and pillows and like a blanket to create a sewer 😅🤘

[@Gappasaurus]

Cardboard boxes and stacks of books were the best playsets 😁

[@Griffj85]

I'd smash blankets together to make cave systems and such. Had one cheap rock face playset so they worked together.

[@deusprogrammer_thekingofspace]

When I was little, I wanted a TMNT sewer lair playset in the early 90's...but my parents couldn't afford it. So my parents and I took a cardboard box and made a bitchin' awesome one of our own.

[@All-Fur-Coat_No-Trousers]

I feel ya man, we were deffs a "use your imagination guys" household 😆 so we did! Mega Blocks were the best cause you'd get one set but make hundreds of things out of it.

[@retrorick]

That Captain Planet playset would have been amazing!

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Would have loved to see a prototype version 🤓

[@BennyLlama39]

The thing I still like about Castle Grayskull is how many action figure lines me and my brother could use with it as kids (besides He-Man and crew). We'd set it up with GI Joe, Star Wars, and whatever else was on hand. 😀

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

I think grayskull is the best playset! 🤘

[@thewretched2474]

I use to use Snake Mountain like that with the GI Joes

[@_The_Worst_]

It would've been totally frickin' cool if they made the Micro Machines Alien stuff...👌🏼💯✔

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Some of it was made I do believe 🤔

[@darrenj3720]

Ed's Retro Geek It was. I remember seeing it for sale here in the uk. The (sets?) cost about £5-£7 and consisted of around 2 vehicles 2 big aliens and I think maybe some foot soldiers/aliens.

[@williamszewski4055]

Definitely miss Galoob and Micro Machines a LOT some times! THeir Trek and Wars ones were amazing still have a few too lol. The ships were even better.

[@jasonallen4071]

Yeah they released the aliens and they had predator sets as well

[@singaporesammy]

My only childhood memory of Barnyard Commandos is picking one up, looking at the back of the package, and thinking that both sides can't be the rebels. It bugged me when I was 8 and it still bugs me now.

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

I get that 🤔👌

[@bjpalm1994]

Great vid! I would have wanted every single one, lol. The Tower of Darkness & Hope Island playsets would have been awesome! I feel like I had something similar to the Remco Fortress of Doom. It was a playset my grandma got from Montgomery Wards Outlet (I know, I'm old, lol) and it was robotic looking and made from strong cardboard. I remember it had like 2 or 3 levels and then you could place figures on the very top. It had upper sections on the side that stuck out almost like Titans Tower. It might have had guns on those but not sure. I know I played the heck out of it though. Good times!

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Awesome 🤓🤘

[@aaronfountain4933]

Rock lords was one of those toys you would see a commercial of and think cool and then forget

[@supervillain4611]

its a shame they never got around to even design a toxic crusaders play set! =(

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Was there a plan for this 🤩🤯

[@supervillain4611]

@@EdsRetroGeekOut never I don't think what a shame :(

[@ia5662]

That Planeteer Island playset looks dope as hell! Loved that show as a kid even though I never had the figures, I always wanted Wheeler and the Captain Planet that you could pull the string out of his back and make him fly.

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

It would have been an awesome playset 🤯👌🤘

[@RussLyman]

Never new about half of these playlets. Great video ED O man I remember Barn Yard commandos ha. I def had a few

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Barn Yard commandos i need some they look cool but did they play well 🤔 🤓

[@scottandrewhutchins]

Super Powers also had the Fortress of Solitude. I think i remember seeing it at Toys R Us and how it dwarfed the Hall of Justice, one of the few playsets I owned, but everything I found on a Google search said it was never made. The Tower of Darkness was also prominent in the Super Powers third series comic with Orion and Mister Miracle escaping from it. Kirby had dropped out by this point, and Infantino drew it, so it never got reprinted the way the first two did. The one I most wanted that never came out was the Monster in My Pocket Haunted Mansion. I had only ever seen the box art, but in the past couple of years I saw a photo of the prototype in a catalog online, and it was a repaint of Oh! Jenny's house complete with a doghouse that was far too small for Cerberus. I wrote a screenplay that was over 240 pages based on the Monster in My Pocket comic book when i was in college, and even with the characters being 1-2" high, the logistics of a doll house big enough for each of the crews (in my screenplay, Vampire's team stayed with Jack and Tom Miles in the comics, but Warlock's team stayed with the Raven family--I had wanted Stephen King to play Edgar Raven fully aware of the monsters and as a fictitious character self-deprecating the actor as Uncle Philip claiming he was better than Ben Vereen, who played him, on Webster--then John Weems humored me about reading it before finally saying no to actually reading it) was pretty staggering compared to doll houses I was looking at even at F.A.O. Schwarz that retailed for several hundred dollars.

[@richardhunt6310]

I'm a Captain Planet fan and I never knew about the playset, thank u for these amazing videos

[@TimHayes]

The Dungeons and Dragons action figure line seemed to be more based on the role playing game. They never made toys of most of the characters from the cartoon series.

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

The figures then again appealed to the kids watching the show not the roleplay game 🤔

[@stevedevice1866]

@@EdsRetroGeekOut Not round here, the teens who played D&D bought these and hated the cartoon. I was one of em lol

[@ZEMO74]

Exactly, I had Warduke and the knight guy. Also I had one of the dragons. They never made figures from the cartoon that I remember. I would have had them.

[@ia5662]

I always wondered too if the Willow line had planned a Nockmar Castle playset - that would have really filled out the great little line of toys.

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Ooh i gotta look into that!

[@barrylee2807]

Love it! Playsets were the holy grails of my youth. And for many lines, they literally were unattainable. I always remembered looking at pictures of the Air Raiders and Gobots playsets, never realizing they were left unmade. You should do a second video exploring those and the awesome Visionaries playset! Continue the good work!!

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Visionaries playset i’ve already discussed in the second video of the toy history series 🤘🤓 but those others i didn’t hear about yet thanks for letting me know 🤘🤠

[@RetroRobotRadio]

Do you notice there are six indents in the wall of that second Rock Lords playset when it's closed? Each shaped like the original 6 Rock Lords figures in rock form! You could insert each figure into the slot on the wall. Magmar and Boulder's slots are on the shoulders of the castle, on either side of the head. They are literally the angel and devil on the shoulders of Stonehead. 4:18 There is a scene in the Rock Lords movie where one guy hides in the wall of a cave... So clearly this was foreshadowed!

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

😯🤯 awesome!

[@KichiMiangra]

"The Dragons Graveyard would feature a character that was contemplating to kill their nemesis" I mean if I was stuck in another world for 27 episodes where the majority of the episodes involve the Villain Venger completely fuqing me over to get home and almost killed my unicorn I too would drag him to the dragons graveyard and shank the asshole to death and end my problems. But we all have to be the better person here don't we? And we don't even get a cool D&D play set out of it! Too bad there wasn't really much of a toyline for the cartoon. I do own 2 of it's "Choose your own Adventure" books though...

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Fortress of fangs was still an awesome playset 🤩👌

[@Triad3Force]

The Christmas tree became a jungle battle ground for my Ninja Turtles and Shredder's goons. They'd ride on the train at the bottom and get ambushed from the tree branches above.

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

I love it when xmas trees had trains 🤘🤘

[@RetroCynical]

Knowing a bunch of this stuff was never produced just makes me depressed.

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

It just shows you it was all a big scam to make companies money 🤓

[@catbeweird]

TYSM for these videos ED! I don't know why I have such a big nostalgia drive for old toys, but it's super interesting, especially the unreleased stuff! I have a tiny collection of prototype plushies, so this sort of stuff is super fun! ! If I have to thank the youtube recommended section for anything, it's leading me to great smaller channels like yours! I feel like your channel will grow a lot :D

[@JamesChessman]

I did like Rock Lords as a kid. The gold nugget robot is actually really nice. I also had the two-headed evil Rock Lord. So I probably had the best ones, or just the best one gold guy. It’s possible that I would not have liked the extended line if I had gotten a bunch more, though...

[@watsonsith]

Hoping they will re-release them all at some point, just like the recent Real Ghostbusters line and Star Wars Retro Collection and Transformers G1. Speaking of re-releases, maybe another future Toy History Video? :) Already looking forward to the next one! :)

It would be a cool topic cuz some unreleased and recalled toys have now been popped into production🤘🤓

[@brainlock72]

Mattel's Scott Nutlich was such a SP stan, he made sure the DCUC line included EVERY character from Super Powers and SuperFriends. That's why the line crashed and burned.

Lost of World of Warlord isn't a He-Man knock off as he first appearred in DC Comics in 1975. Conan goes back to the 1930s. Mattel was going to make Conan toys but changed their mind last minute and decided to do something slightly less violent. Now, Remco using those licenses might have been a He-Man cash ins but they characters were not. If anything, He-Man is a Conan knock off with some elements of Superman thrown in.

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Its a lot more complicated than that 😅

[@jessewilley531]

@@EdsRetroGeekOut Yeah. I know. But it lead to a huge legal mess for He-Man. Ultimately, even if MOTU was a Conan rip off... Mattel had the rights Conan (and derivative works) when MOTU started... so the suit was thrown out. Funny enough, they did do a child friendly Conan show in the 90s, that added characters to make it more toyetic. It lead to a second Conan toyline. Though some say Jezmine was created for Conan the Adventurer because of dispute over Red Sonja. For awhile there were legal problems with the character. Marvel said Red Sonja with a J was created by Roy Thomas and Barry Windsor-Smith. There were enough changes to make her a different character that Howard's Red Sonya. The movie spelled it with a J and reedited Arnie's part so he wasn't Conan. Conan enterprise threatened to take the license away from Marvel if they sued. Then the movie bombed... and they changed their mind saying Sonja with a J was Marvel's Sonya with Y was Howard's... but Marvel and even Thomas and Windsor-Smith.... who would have gotten hefty back royalties from Marvel if they were declared the owner, disagreed. To avoid the whole Sonja/Sonya problem, they created a new character. The mess didn't get resolved until long after Conan the Adventurer was forgotten.
