Toy Box Nostalgia Boxes Oct 2016 | Ashens

[@girochin007]

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.

[@camolotthe42]

"They seem quite clean, don't think Jim Sterling has had his hands on them yet..." The joy that reference brings me is immeasurable.

[@MathewHaswell]

Born Different, Born Innocent! Jim once filled a fleshlight with Pogs.

[@MathewHaswell]

@@quixotic4233 The offending stimulus was in the video "Genitalia (The Jimquistion)" on Sterling's channel. In the time since I watched it, said video has been age-gated by KZbin. You are now required to show Google a piece of legally-valid I.D. - as proof of one's adulthood - before you can watch it.

[@Mr.deacle]

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 *

[@MsHurricaneHammy]

I completely forgot that Crazy Bones were a thing. Used to play those all the time.

[@Sparrow9612]

I used to have a bunch. Still own a couple of them.

[@Adrastia]

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.

[@nathanbarnes6869]

I also used to have crazy bones (also known as Jojos). Mine were a different set.

[@trevorwovz6614]

This nostalgia box has genuinely brought nostalgia to Stuart. Might be the best box yet.

[@VMIFerrari]

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*.

[@TiNiET0M]

Crazy bones were a huge fad in my youth. Will never forget when i opened my first packet and found a sharkey!

[@unclaimedstorage]

Thanks to the Dollar Tree grab bags i had tons of Crazy Bones

[@xxminty619xx6]

tom wyatt I got bag full of them

[@CryptidIRL]

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.

[@NowhereBeats]

I remember I had over 100, but I never bought a single pack. I found one on the floor and won the rest.

[@Poodleinacan]

+Jaw Ji ..... So were actually playing for keeps... Damn.

[@Jakeoffski]

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.

[@balfemotor6067]

While rolling a comic up should be punishable by death, that turned me back into a little kid seeing transformers again.

[@jakesapir]

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

[@sholva6809]

Um why is a figure from Episode 2 in a 90's box? Episode 2 came out in 2002 not the 90's jeez.

[@bennystar29]

Steven Chapman I think you've just earned some nerd points..

[@OdaSwifteye]

Packaging error I assume.

[@Turskaruhtinas]

Sadly, I was thinking the same thing.

[@happydorkgirl]

On the website the box is listed as a 90s/2000s box. I was wondering the same thing. :)

[@Turskaruhtinas]

Brad! Janet! Dr. Scott! Rocky!

[@edbadyt]

I liked it, it proved the late 90's me right

[@MrLordWaffles]

I died a little.

[@ChrissehCat]

I cringed, it was like someone ripping a toenail off. Painful...

[@happydorkgirl]

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]

Just checked site - the girls' box is indeed 90s/2000s only. Bummer. :(

[@littlemissgiggles165]

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.

[@AgentTasmania]

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.

[@happydorkgirl]

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

[@marymaggotface1994]

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.

[@korahall5540]

I found a tin full of them at the thrift store once! One of the best things I’ve found!

[@ge2719]

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?

[@wetlettuce4768]

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.

[@ZC-Infinity]

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]

@@ZC-Infinity Still doing that?

[@ZC-Infinity]

@@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.

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.

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.

[@HughRaine]

@12:40 Just a hunch but... I think Gogo Dodo was... a dodo?

[@colosalblack]

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.

Poodleinacan They're called gogos crazy bones... I had a SHIT ton of em as a kid.

[@AvocadoDiaboli]

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.

[@frankschneider6156]

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.

Why was there an Attack of the Clones toy in the '90s box? It's from 2002.

[@wolfcaliburRX]

Microfoot the "90's" box is actually a "90's/2000's" box

[@Microfoot]

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.

[@EB01]

The Space toys brings back memories. We only had the evil and good guy figures - never knew that there were vehicles.

[@JustSiobhan]

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.

[@penbeatssword7350]

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

[@InvisibleToOnlyYou]

........... 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

[@godslaughter]

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 little plastic colorful guys in the bag are Crazy Bones- you played a game where you would line ~8 of them them up 6" apart, and your opponent would set theirs up like 6' away, and you would flick your finger to launch them at each other to try to knock each others' over. I played a crapload of it ~2003 in elementary school.

[@numbers9to0]

So, this subscriber box buys random stuff on ebay and sends it to you?

[@BaggyMcPiper]

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.

[@Kaixfikwind]

Pehmokettu Everyone had a Tamagotchi, it was great!

[@PedroBenolielBonito]

Yeah I was expecting a Tamagotchi to be in that 90s box. Then it would REALLY be my childhood in a box.

[@Opaqu.e]

I've actually got the full set of Combaticon transformers... Unfortunately they're largely broken now and various limbs are missing but they were fairly good quality toys. They were re-released in about 2005 (I'd say?) with a desert camo paint scheme, to me they were just cool toys, it's interesting to know that those models have been around since the '80!

[@MathewHaswell]

I have the 2001 "Ruination" versions of the moulds - the "Commandos" team - from the RID series. The colour scheme works for the figures, but it isn't show-accurate. Got all the Combiner-Kibble, but I've lost many of the weapons.

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

[@stillnotscaredofspiders]

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.

Wow I didn't knew about BRITAINS SPACE toy line, guess it never made here to Italy. Did a bit of research and I think it was a fantastic toy line. Back in the 80s italian toy companies imported stuff from U.S. and Japan, so sadly we never had these UK gems.

[@AstorReinhardt]

Oh god Beanie Baby's...my mom was crazy about them. I was a kid at the time, but I really remember her buying them and selling them during the boom. It's how she started out on eBay. I also remember having to wake up super early to go stand in lines to get the latest one...ugh. I did get to skip school sometimes because of it though. We still have bags of the damned things...and I used to have a drawer full of them before I tossed them all out. I regret it now because I got rid of the Halloween ones that were my favorite lol.

[@lindinle]

22:57 i loved Dexter jettster. I dont know why but he reminded me of my grandfather.

[@PedroBenolielBonito]

17:30 I squeed. I used to play with those!! They were the next big thing in Portugal once pogs died off. I played with them all the time when I was in year 6! You'd line them up against a wall, pick one to be the slammer, and try to topple over as many as possible. Sort of like a horizontal version of pogs/tazos. I thought they were a Portugal-only thing!

[@DaGirlzGoCrazy]

I loved Crazy Bones! I collected hundreds of them

[@cmdfarsight]

It only took 7 years to get the Britons Space review lol Worth watching though.

[@UncleFeedle]

Brittain's Space!! I've been trying to find examples of that for I dunno how long. The guys in yellow had fish-bowl helmets. There were also booklets which listed each sides ships and weapons. I seem to remember some association with KP Crisps (might have been Skips) where you could send off for this stuff. It may have been advertised in the 80's Eagle comic, but the memories are clouded with the mists of vagueness.

[@JoTheWeirdoz]

Oh man Gogos, I used to collect these as a kiddo I have like 400 of them. Good times!

[@OneColdMonkey]

omg that stunticon semi-truck on the back of that comic. When I was a kid another kid let me borrow it, and my dad threw it out the window of our car on the ride home saying something about how we don't need charity. So I had to explain to that kid I didn't have his toy anymore. ...I guess nostalgia is nostalgia, even when it's a bad memory.
