Exploring Portsmouth’s Hidden Gem: The Vintage Toy Monster!

[@FroggyFlips]

What a beautiful, beautiful store that is! Gnarly toy hunt, man!

[@ToyOverdose]

It's an amazing store, you will have to come over and see for yourself! Thanks for watching Froggy!

[@BugleCoops]

Born in '75 and had a huge Star Wars collection as a kid in addition to a lot of the other toys featured here, all of which I gave away as a younger adult. Not counting ex-wives, I don't collect anything these days but love watching these videos as they really take me back to simpler times. They also remind me how lucky I was. Keep up the good work!! Ps. "I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass... And I'm all outta bubblegum"

[@ToyOverdose]

Thanks for watching my friend! That's what we are aiming for, nostalgia. And that's a great line from a great film 👍

[@thyra_UK]

Lived in Portsmouth for a year now, never knew it existed, will go check it out.

[@marks6928]

I’ve been to a lot of toy shops around the country on toy hunts. The Vintage Toy Monster is definitely my favourite.

[@ToyOverdose]

It's beautiful! Thanks for watching! 😊

[@lime7863]

[@kirk9363]

That t800.. ❤❤

[@jasonshiers5771]

Seeing all them MASK toys gave me childhood flashbacks . Shame you didn't get to Havant that's about 8 miles from Portsmouth as there is small a retro toy shop stand in the Meridian Centre now , sells lots of different 80s toys.

[@ToyOverdose]

[@superiorcybergodzilla5670]

Amazing Monster Toy Shop

[@blaze_mode5934]

Brick Top Vibes 😎

[@optchurch1402]

I wish there was something like that in the midlands. I could spend hours in a store like that

[@lexistoyloft2641]

Great video and looks like a really good shop!

[@ToyOverdose]

It was! Thanks for watching!

[@richardeveratt7590]

This shop is definitely on my to do list very soon

[@DavidMeikle-ei7fr]

In the 60s I had the Batmobile which fired little yellow missiles and the James Bond Aston Martin with bulletproof rear shield and the pop out machine guns. Long gone now 😢

[@patrickdoyle-v4h]

Me too, I had chitty chatty bang bang car as well

[@GE-bc7ed]

I wish there were more shops like this. Living in Scotland (near Edinburgh) and there really aren’t any that I am aware of.

[@ToyOverdose]

@@GE-bc7ed There aren't many around like the Vintage Toy Monster. We are compiling a list of the best ones, I'm sure there must be a couple good ones in Scotland. Stay tuned!

[@rosstee]

I owned that A-Team bad guy with the orange shirt at 6:21 when I was younger - the only A-Team figure I had! Think it may still be around somewhere, Mum recently brought over some boxes of stuff from my old room.

[@ToyOverdose]

@@rosstee I would get those boxes open immediately 😉👍

[@rosstee]

@@ToyOverdose Sounds like a good idea 😅

[@rogerprice7704]

Wow great job and what a store !

[@ToyOverdose]

Thanks so much!

[@superrobotscompany8366]

Beautiful store 👏👏👏

[@Tallpaaaul]

Extreme Dinosaurs is the line thats similar to Street Sharks you were looking at 😁 also finally youtube recommends a decent video haha shop looks ace I'm up in Scotland would love to make a trip

[@ToyOverdose]

Thanks for watching, my friend!

[@KiNgSaRcAsMoNe]

Damn! I would love to go there, alas I can not. You see, I hail from the shores of a city nearby and despite my daughters mum coming from Pompey and my daughter having been born in Southampton etc, my skin starts to blister and burn if I try to enter Portsmouth 😢 Thanks to you, people like me can still see these marvels.

[@ToyOverdose]

😂👌 Maybe one day! Appreciate you watching my friend 👍

[@julianlinsel4346]

Looks like toy heaven

[@cphughes100]

It’s my local, I was in a few days after you picking,up the Oculus Orbus head popper 😁

[@ToyOverdose]

You have excellent taste 😁👏

[@KinjokingToys]

Great video thanks! I'll need to visit now

[@infinityofmagic6736]

i live super close to this store its such an amazing shop

[@WhalesOfWallStreet]

I never realised this existed down the road from me....

[@brianroderick2093]

Excellent video, I searched the store on Instagram but I couldn't find it, I hope to visit it sometime

[@ToyOverdose]

Thankyou! Here ya go instagram.com/the_vintage_toy_monster

[@brianroderick2093]

@ thanks very much buddy

[@jasonburrows1875]

Cool 👌

[@killabees-m4t]

You have the same taste as Froggy Flips

[@tomsenior7405]

How far back do these toys go; 1950s? 60s? The shop looks amazing, although I am unfamiliar with most of the things shown on camera here. Anything Marvel is outside of my knowledge base. I wouldn't know a Clark Kent from a Spiderman. Star Wars toys were not a thing when I was a child. Sure, there were rumours of such toys, but we never saw any. Anything animated from the 1980s onward was not made for me. Even so, I could spend a whole day in a shop like this. I must go back to the place where I grew up and visit this shop in Pompey. Excellent stuff. Cheers.

[@ethanhitchcock5431]

Wow , great store , love those ' THEY LIVE ' figurines ( what year are they from ? ) ! Thanks !

[@ToyOverdose]

They Live stuff was only 4 or 5 years old, so not Vintage but still cool!

[@b.slocumb7763]

If I had my own vintage toy store, any and all wrestling stuff would be banned😂. It would be filled with original Star Wars stuff, Japanese Transformers, original Japanese Kinnikuman and Dr. Slump and similar stuff, along with all the toys we wanted for Christmas in the 70s and early 80s. Lots of Hot Wheels/Matchbox, robots, games, all the good stuff! I just wish we had money when I was a kid so I could have had all the Star Wars figures. At least I had Boba Fett and a Darth Vader watch…

[@pasha12343]

Cool shop

[@nicktheegg]

There used to be a place in Lee-On-Solent, near the high street. Is that still there do you know? It's close to where you are in this video. All the best to you.

[@ToyOverdose]

I have idea I'm afraid we arent local to Worthing, although we did search the area for others and couldn't see anything else!

Great video! What is the song that is played at the beginning of the video?

[@ToyOverdose]

Hello, it's Through Barriers by Saltonbria 👍

[@Bart-Did-it]

8 years ago ish I went to Birmingham U.K. Comic Con and a Slimer 👻 was available to buy almost the correct size latex and almost solid for £500 looked 99% real amd felt like soft rubber . I’ve seen him again for sale £1800 I’ve spent the last 8 years regretting not buying Him. And there I see one in that window . Maybe not the same made but the same size for sure .

[@lewisbryant3961]

We all get that buyers remorse for sure!

[@paulchoccyt1303]

Literally just ignored the transformers 😮

[@nonsheep5823]

I went 100 miles once as a kid with family to get hammerhead, they were days before ebay and the net, we had a caravan at seaside, but we ended going there when i saw hammerhead in the shop, they had big figures at geoff tous back in the day such an amazing shop, we had a shop called fenwicks which sold decent star wars figures as well.

[@dalewalker3942]

Watching your Videos, As a 54year old man I wish I had never played with my Toys 😂

[@ToyOverdose]

You and me both!

[@magic7924]

Can someone tell me what the toys at 08:15 are please. He said visionaries but wondered if he meant something else. Used to have one of those. Sure you could pull it out of the cloak it came in and it had like a skeleton hologram on them. That shop is like a full on nostalgic trip I love it

[@ToyOverdose]

Supernaturals! Thanks for watching

[@magic7924]

@ yes! Thank you for replying so quickly that was driving me crazy. All the best!
