MARVEL LEGENDS SERIES IV TOYBIZ 2003 PUNISHER FIGURE Spider-Man Urban Legends

[@Adam-vp3tt]

You guys hitting hard with the nostalgia bombs this morning, especially with the staying home sick to watch price is right. That came on, and then it was take some cough medicine and take a nap till the afternoon cartoons came on, GI Joe, Transformers, He-Man, MASK, then if there wasn't a baseball game on, you swap the regular channel the cartoons were on over to WGN and watch all the cartoons over again.

[@jentheredhead4698]

​@@Adam-vp3ttomg I did the same thing!

[@MasterLongy]

Transformers G1 Optimus was always my fave, I was big into LEGO too. Living in Australia around '85 we got bombarded with the tail end of Star Wars too so I have Yakface and Barada from that.

[@Rocky-ic8wx]

Cartoon was speed racer. Toy was anything star wars.

[@bubbaray8000]

Ninja Turtles was at a fever pitch when i was a kid. Born in ‘83. Real Ghostbusters was always a big favorite for me as well… then a little later i got caught up by the Disney afternoon block of shows everyday after school.

[@matthewlawrence708]

I remember the back of the Mad Mag cover had a pic that folded to make another pic. I also liked the Spy vs Spy. There was a longs drugs store I would always save my lil allowance money to get my monthly Amazing, Spectacular , Web and regular Spiderman comics. The regular Spiderman was the McFarlane series. Every year my home town had a frea market with random booths. I would always go to this guy that had silver age Amazing Spiderman comics for $1. I went back year after year until I bought them all lol. He also had some silver Spectacular Spiderman that i also cleaned him out over time lol

[@toys2cool]

that's hilarious we both went to the same local shop..A&M comics is still there..

[@rickmease9531]

Mike Zeck is awesome! I had three posters on my wall when I was a kid in the eighties: The John Romita Spider-Man poster everyone had. The Frank Miller DareDevil poster everyone had. And a bad@$$ poster of Captain America fighting gangsters by Mike Zeck! I have a signed framed print of it now but between Zeck's Joe covers and Punisher mini series, I quickly became a fan.

[@skillsaw777]

The guy that destroyed Press You Luck was an unemployed ice cream truck driver who simply used the tracking option on the old VCRs to slow down taped episodes so he could learn the patterns. The patterns weren't really that complicated, because they were fast, and the producers never imagined the possibility. What followed was a battle with the tv show where he eventually did get the money, since he technically didn't cheat.

[@JorgeMir3]

cracked and madd were awesome. you guys rule. these are great conversations.

[@andystandys]

37:24 Keith Hernandez!!

[@porterortiz549]

Put something really rare on the table as a centerpiece. A chance to show off cool items and give us more to look at :)

[@RobertMunro-wb6jb]

My first comics I started collecting was 2000ad ! I still have it and it’s from 1987 and I was 8 when I got it !!!

[@seanlohr8855]

Centurions were really cool when I was a kid. I was big into Mask too.

[@ToyFederationPodcastchannel]

Yes they were!

[@justinvigil9244]

Thanks for another episode! I absolutely love both channels! I hope to one day travel from Albuquerque New Mexico to visit your shop and the show!! Keep it up!

[@ToyFederationPodcastchannel]

Hope to see you soon!

[@redmist78]

I've loved every episode of this but this one took me back to when I was a kid. We're all about the same age and I used to get My Savage sword of Conan at the local drugstore when I spend time at my grandma's in the summer. I never did meet Stan Lee, but I'm at Bernie wrightson at fan expo in Canada and I walked past him several times until I found where his Booth was. He was so humble. I told him he was the best artist in the building and there were some really heavy hitters there (Frank Miller was one of them) he had signed my cycle of the werewolf novella and a swamp thing versus Batman print. Several years later he had passed away. He is a legend for sure.

[@ulicqel-droma6884]

Loved starblazers as a kid

[@jasonbevelA]

Yes me too...and Thunderbirds 2086...remember that one? The first wave of Jap animated cartoons circa 1984

[@Ynot_Art]

Great stories! I got hungry just listening to your story about your grandmother’s cooking! I agree Cracked magazine was good especially when they did the monster stuff! But I was interested in all the spoof humor type books. Mad, cracked, Crazy, etc we’re funny! John and Marie Severin were talented. I preferred his sister Marie though! She had the humor drawings well with Crazy!

[@GenX_Kid]

Definitely remember my childhood toys. "My childhood toys" is my collection focus today. Chutes Away is one childhood toy I have vivid memories of. Someone nearby was selling it dirt cheap recently. Was so tempted. But then I was like, where the hell am I gonna put it? It's a pretty big piece. Monster box. So yeah, I reluctantly passed. Batman, The Goodies, Monkey, Doctor Who, Roger Ramjet and Batfink was must see after-school TV when I was a kid...

[@JamesShelnutt2]

I have similar memories too: coming home from school, heating up some Chef Boyardee ravioli and watching tv shows like Gilligan's Island, Brady Bunch, The Partridge Family, The Munsters, The Addams Family, etc. great times.

[@Maz08]

Man, you guys really rehash some awesome childhood memories! From Thundercats, slime, tops Star Wars cards, all of which are the same strong memories I also have. But my best memories, that still stick with me almost daily, is when Kenner released their Super Powers line. The commercials were the best!

[@WraithMace]

Nutty father's day weekend catching up to my "Fed vids" now!

[@Quad_X_]

Epidurmis - my new Saturday Morning routine - bowl of cereal - wait for Toy Federation Video and Podcast Video - Perfect way to start the weekend while I sort my comics from the week and relax - I feel like a kid again with my old TV Antenna that gets channel 36 whie I squint as Gatchaman / Battle of the Planets comes in sketchy.

[@jasonbevelA]

I have to agree with Ryan ...the Mike Zeck Punisher Limited Series is my all time favorite comics by far...followed by Art Adams Longshot series and Mike Golden The 'Nam

[@daltonguinn2435]

Great podcast! Love watching both channels, the podcast is a great listen when I'm on the go! Hope you keep finding success in your channels!

[@WagesofCine]

I remember running home from the bus stop so I could see all the GI Joe episodes in the Arise, Serpentor, Arise! That story arc had me hooked.

[@ByronMason]

Such a feel good podcast. Love the show and this podcast every week!

[@ericfromphoenix3566]

Another fun conversation. I love the shirt Ryan! My buddy had intelivision and the B-17 bomber game. It think this was the first video game with voices? Bandit, 12 o’clock. Watch out for flack! Price is Right with Bob Barker was awesome. My favorite game was Cliff Hangers (didn’t know that was what it was called) too. Looking forward to next Saturday!

[@tonykhayatofficial]

just finished watching the episode, and now watching the podcast !

[@Soloman_Gumball]

Topic idea. What was the first thing y'all bought online you couldn't find local . Whether it was from Ebay or something else. Could expand on the effects of online marketplaces like Ebay on vintage stuff.

[@jordanaslinger1861]

I had to go to my grandma's house when extreme dinosaurs was coming on and I didn't want to miss the episode. So as soon as we got to her house I went down to the basement and watched it.

[@S-T-E-V-E]

My most vivid memory of Cartoon is coming home from School and eating my Mom's homemade soup while watching them! It was good soup!

[@66_ed_Hawkenson]

My first grade teacher in 79-80 took away my Greedo figure i was probably playing with it when i wasnt supposed to.. A buddy of mine then snuck into her desk and stole it back for me... I figured she would notice it was missing but never heard a word about it... Still have the figure too 😅

[@mebbett70]

Batman issue #286 from '77 - Batman fighting the Joker on a roller coaster

[@adam_allday9470]

My daughter and her friends all bring their Monster High dolls to school to all play with together at recess. They’re 1st/2nd grade

[@7tardis7]

Glad I met all the biggies back in the 80s. Like 1987 Atlanta Fantasy Fair was just $35 for the whole 3 day show and autos were included. Stood in a 1 hour long line twice for Stan Lee, Got my oldest issues at the time signed. (X-Men 20, 21)

[@billstreet39]

Ryan, I think a good topic to start your show would be explaining your and your guys toy or collectible origin story….. how it all got started to get where you are today,everybody’s got one.

[@Fedpool]

Go back a few episodes. They already covered Ryan and the others origns and collections.

[@hang10wannabe]

I had that Knickerbocker Spider Man doll growing up and it wasn't till watching this Podcast till I knew what it was called... Also, as a teacher, I do see students bring toys/dolls to school and I have 7th and 8th graders bring Marvel Legends sometimes and I've had 3 different students that each got a different MAFEX Spiderman Figure.

[@charles7164]

I will always remenber my neighbor got me a boxed set of battle beasts for one of my birthdays

[@chandolomite]

Love the show! If you would permit me one piece of critique, the sound was very low. I had trouble, even at full volume, to hear.

[@darrenhommell3414]

the money sounds are awesome, it reminds of Pink Floyd!!

[@utmanbeast8479]

B17 Bomber! Loved my Intellivsion, with Intellivoice

[@treasurerFinleyASC]

Bandit! Nine o'clock. Watch it!

[@Rocky-ic8wx]

Saturday. Kung fu action theater. Loved it.

[@Harpoquondrax]

Doin' chores and listening to talk about toys, good day

[@judesheckelberg5135]

Set up the phone on the table with its own mic, and cheer when something sells. Make it a gimmick.

[@T-RavisComics]

DC version of Captain America is the Guardian also created by Simon & Kirby 😂 just saying

[@jeredbecker4658]

Star Blazers!!

[@Garfunkle6467]

General Glory was used as a parody of Captain America as well.

[@MegaAppl3]

I loved the X-Men comics and for toys, it would be GiJoe

[@moeabertolucci]

You 3️⃣ need an action figure boxset : Andy, Travis, & Ryan on a TOY FEDERATION Box design… hint, hint, hint!!!

[@crazyadventuresandreviews]

I want to see a video of you guys personal collection

[@judesheckelberg5135]

In my early years (2nd grade era) I used to stick my forehead in front of the heater vent in the bathroom to convince my mother that I was running a fever or at least a higher temperature so that I could secure a day off of school. I didn't do it so often that she caught on, but around 4 times per school year. 8 hours of TV>8 Hours of school.

[@MapleJames76]

Out of curiousity, what years were you fellas born? It would help a lot figuring out your stories, about what cartoons you watched and why ....thanks for the show :) Fist bumps from Canada

[@AlexandertheSmith]

traded a g1 optimus prime for blaster(why?). thought i was the only kid recording audio from my favorite cartoons! didn't have a vcr yet. nice toy adjacent episode😀

I DESPISE Keith Hernandez

[@DepthTechDesign]

The audio was off in this episode. Still a great podcast. Audio was sounded like it was in a bucket.

[@andystandys]

It sounds like the audio is coming from the built in camera mic, or something, and not the mics they're talking into.

[@Tallpaaaul]

Sounds fine to me but I'm just watching on my phone?

HAAAA!!! that Himalayan climber IS RIGHT!!!. i thought i was the ohnlyonw who wanted to see that dude climb. it was something about anxiously anticipating the great fall! and the music was very weird /cool but it hooked me.. nice!!

Nostalgia? Remember looking at your first porno? That was an eye opener 😂 . Cracks me up everytime. My great Aunt obviously grew up without video games, well once she became grandma. My cuz. Would have a Nintendo game boy then later in time Playstation 1 came out. She would get them mixed up and say play the playboy game. Lol i guess when your that old a playboy mag was as hype as video games are. I doubt thats what she ment. But i always laughed.

Why not sitting on the bare floor ? like in your show. Is it such a mad idea to have a large folding table and chairs somewhere so collections and their owners dont need to sit on the bare floor ? just a thought.
