IT'S A VINTAGE TOYPLOSION! Germany's biggest Vintage Con Toy Hunting!

[@vintagecrazyjay4970]

That was fun, thanks for taking us to Germany with you! Cheers!

[@infoxicatingcoffeebreak6300]

My girlfriend showed me that Hasselhoff mirror and I was so tempted to buy it. This is the level of rediculousness I love. The kind of conversation starter everyone should have in their home. Damn, do I want it now!!!

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

It’s so good indeed 😁

[@daskleinegluck4553]

Up to now you're video is definitely the coolest of all the Toyplosion II Videos I have been watching, because you focused so much on the toys which caught your and Matti's eye. That's what I love to see! As many of the toys the dealers offered over there as possible. Also love your video style and your funny interaction with Matti. Always so cool to watch one of your videos, you know so many toy KZbinrs that I like a lot. So thank all of you very very much for these wonderful Toyplosion II impressions and showing us all your fantastic finds and the gifts you received 🤗🤘🥳.

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Thanks so much buddy 🙏

[@Goreminister]

Oh man, thanks for the nice documentary... Was a pleasure to meet you and have you on my own show aswell 😊 See you at Marché Noir in February 2025? That will be awesome aswell 😉

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Thanks for watching, where is the marché noir taking place? 🤘 awesome to meet all you guys

[@SpoonJarFilms]

Great coverage Ed & thanks for the shout outs. Trailer for series 3 of Toy Shop On Tour about to drop. Filmed 2 terabytes of material, sheesh lots to do!

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

I need a masterclass in editing from you 🤣🤭 can’t wait to see the next season 🤘

[@SpoonJarFilms]

@@EdsRetroGeekOutI like your format with the seated pieces to camera and the figures well lit on the turn table. I’ve been shooting and editing for 26 years, it’s just practice. It’s good that you film and edit your own material. I’ve found that’s the way to improve quickest. It’s harder editing footage you haven’t shot yourself. When you up grade your camera I’d suggest one with image stabilisation & a lens with stabilisation which will help smooth out the micro shake…. but hey the viewing figures speak for themselves, we can save that for “Matt’s Camera Geek Out On Tour” ™️😅

[@theredduke1275]

For serious collectors like you guys I understand you don't like re-releases. But I'm not a collector I've been watching your channel for 3 years now but all these re-releases and your channel makes it more interesting to pick up some models. I'm not going to pay 300 euro for a toy in a box but 25 euro to display it on a shelf thats way more reasonable.

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Thanks buddy

They do reduce the value of originals but they are affordable options for building displays, and they can be opened without guilt! personally i have a good mix of original and reissue TMNT, just got an original Mona Lisa 😊.

[@UsualmikeTelevision]

Awesome show Ed. Would love to see it someday!

[@TheShadowhunterx]

Well, you know I did the vintage thing for awhile. Paid, 400-500 or whatever for a figure, playset, etc. Then I realized I could get a reissue, same figure, packaging and in most cases only difference was the date on the packaging. Instead of buying 1 original for ALOT of money, I could buy 2 or more of the same thing, open 1 for display and keep the other in the packaging. Then you can buy alot more of other things instead of walking out of a toy show with something that potentially was half a paycheck. Then at the very bottom, whatever you get be it new or vintage, it will hang or stack in a different room, gather dust and you may not see any of it for a week possibly. Was just a harsh reality. I still like to watch these videos to show things from my childhood.

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

There’s no right or wrong way to collecting just collect what you love 🤘

[@NARC.1]

Dang that show was loaded 😍

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Indeediooo

[@billygalaxytoys]

It was great seeing you again Ed. Bummer that Springsteen sabotaged our chat 🤣 I wonder which country we will run into each other next...?

[@jean-paularends4535]

Mel Birnkrant is the amazing designer who did the animax-figures: Look him up! He also designed Oodles! He's great!

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Ill look up Oodles 😎

[@mattchalucha894]

I have no problem with the repros as someone who isn't necessarily a vintage collector, but I can definitely see where guys like you and Matti would have a problem with them.

[@justinmohan7103]

I'm happy about the re releases. Apparently Scratch the Cat is coming next year.

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

No way! 😁 that’s gonna burst the bubble on scratch

[@ryanhudgins9004]

The reissues are a problem I believe in the collector world. I myself don't want anything to do with them.. but if people like them , then more power to them. I just feel like these companies should be coming up with new molds of vintage style/inspired toys instead of just doing a money grab.

[@gregorychiasson7739]

I agree with your statement and would love to see them get creative with new and better molds that will interest old and new collectors

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

The donnie that came with the reissue toilet taxi is a step in the right direction 🤓

[@Fadil19-84]

I love Mighty Maxx to as used to buy a few of the toys in the late 90s but 50 Germany dollars for the diary is insane😅😅😅

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

It’s a rare uncommon piece 🤭

[@anthonyxavier6300]

That was an awesome toy show! Just too far for me to travel.

[@joviaaldreetje]

At Toyplosion I really noticed the amount of reissues and I almost got a few myself, thinking they were the real deal .

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

There was also a lot of carded tmnt that was legit tough 😁

[@saturdaymorningfan3123]

Speaking of animax someone on youtube just posted 80s toy commercials of animax including the rare playset commercial!

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Ooh epic I gotta check that out

[@fabiancortes6255]

Epic episode !

[@kaiju-nostalgeek]

Dammit, I gotta make the trip next year. I can't believe I stayed in my home town and went to our crappy little local Comic Con instead. The only retro action figures there were played with, without any accessories (the one Kenner TAS Batman didn't even have a cape) and still horribly overpriced. I'm not paying 30 Euros for a Gargoyles Broadway figure without wings or tail. 38:04 I got that same bootleg Godzilla at a flea market some years ago, it actually was the first toy I got when I decided to start collecting again. It's also the blue one, and I can't help thinking it looks like the Cookie Monster.

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

He does have cookie monster vibes 🤭

[@per-antonjohansson]

Wow a moc Rimfire astrobros 😲

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

He was resealed and missing 1 accesory but yhat artwork 😅 I feel like I should have picked it up

[@per-antonjohansson]

@@EdsRetroGeekOut kind of rare 🤘

[@philloomer]

I'm from chorlton in Manchester, which is where count duckula, and other animations like dangermouse were made by Cosgrove hall. I'd really love some duckula figures but they be Pricey 😅

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

40 a piece on card seemed good, ive seen people buying em for way more loose 😅😅

[@philloomer]

@@EdsRetroGeekOut oh goodness. Yes they can go for more loose! It obv depends on condition. Duckula is more common than nanny and Igor. I'd have been very tempted to buy all of them for that price 😁 are you going to Birmingham NEC in September, would be good to say hello!

Reissues could be a problem i just bought a foot soldier complete and the figure says 1988 but weapons are a bit darker than the other one i had back home so i wonder if one of the two might have reissue-weapons!? Dunno… 😅

[@CRL365]

Yeah, I’m with Matti, re-issues suck

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

😎 they just have to make new molds but in the old specification ways get varner & anaglyph to sculpt more

Killer pieces 🤩, was this where you bought the bad egg for a deal?

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Yeah eventually bought it from scott from cranck’s toys ;) i had been eyeing them for a while so got the best looking one when the show was almost done. We only filmed the first 2-3 hours of the show honestly. There’s more finds then I show in the video 🤓

[@bloodeagle6458]

Repros are cool they just shouldn't cost more than originals I found a repro ray filet for 60 when I can buy a vintage one for like 7 bucks😮 And tell mattie to look at the print on the back or the feet it'll tell u what year it was made so u can tell the difference 😂😂

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

🤣 ain’t nobody got time for that

[@dmc2008]

Personally, I like the reissues. They're a cheap option and look great on display. I understand the reisitance, but honeysly they're fairly easy to identify vs the retro figures. Believe it or not, Playmates has been re-creating the original artwork, not reproducing.

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

They pretty much have to start from scratch indeed 🤓

[@leeking7970]
