Thank you!! Good stuff. Happy Halloween

[@RetroDaze]

@@neon-maniac Thank YOU for watching! Very glad you enjoyed it. Happy Halloween to you as well. 🎃

[@talir71]

I had to watch when I saw Gre-Gory in the thumbnail. I got one as a Christmas present as a kid, even though I had never heard of it. I guess Santa picked it up on the clearance rack. But I loved it! I also had an Aracula action figure that I bought for myself in my 20’s. I thought the Skeleton Warriors cartoon wasn’t that great, but I loved that particular action figure because it looked awesome!

[@RetroDaze]

Santa wasn’t averse to delivering more Halloween-centric toys thankfully! 😆

[@myheart4apen]

I had a Creepy Crawlers set as a kid, and I would have loved the Monster Machine!

[@RetroDaze]

@@myheart4apen It’s one we here really wish we could have had in our youth!

[@hotrod5150]

Great video! My grandparents gave me the Gre-gory as a kid. That drove my aunt nuts. She hated that thing. 😂

[@RetroDaze]

😆 Your poor aunt. Was it just the look of it or the blood in the clear cavity?

[@hotrod5150]

@@RetroDaze it was the blood. Just seeing it drip and pulsate grossed her out 🤣

[@RetroDaze]

@@hotrod5150 Ha! That makes sense.

[@ZMAN_420]

Best Month of the year I 100% Agree with! Great Episode as always. Thank You to everyone that helped create this video! I compare a RetroDaze upload to Saturday morning cartoons when I was younger!🤘🏻👍🏻🇺🇲

[@RetroDaze]

@@ZMAN_420 We couldn’t ask for any higher compliment than being compared to Saturday Morning Cartoons! Thank you as always ZMan!

[@tedadamgreen]

That rotary caster is great!!! Thanks Jon and Gang 👊🏻😎🕹️

[@RetroDaze]

@@tedadamgreen Thank you Ted! Hope your Fall has been good so far.

[@slayskool1964]

I had Greg-Gory the bat. I wish I still had it.

[@RetroDaze]

@@slayskool1964 It is unfortunately a bit pricey to purchase on the aftermarket these days.

[@MelissaNLord]

Another great video. I love ya'lls content. These vids always bring me back to those 80s/90s days of childhood. Nice RetroJax shirt, Jon. Are ya'll also from Duval?

[@RetroDaze]

Thank you Melissa! We love to help bring back fond memories. In making these, we get to rediscover many things as well.

[@jeffreyboyd4719]

I had a rubber bat on an elastic string and a couple of plastic skeletons. I played in my Halloween costume throughout the year until it wore out I still have a number of spooky sounds and haunted house records lps and 45s. I had Halloween story books, and coloring books too. My Dad complained that I was obsessed with death! LOL. I want that Monster Machine! I remember seeing that in a toy store in Longview TX and asking for it, only to be rebuffed...sad! This was another fun vid! Thanks 👍

[@RetroDaze]

Thank you Jeffrey! We really could not get enough spooky goodies during the season. Sounds like you had a good amount yourself!

[@JoylessPumpkin]

I didn't know about Gre-Gory when I was a kid, but if I did I would have wanted one more than anything else. It's beautiful in every way, especially that box!

[@RetroDaze]

@@JoylessPumpkin Definitely! The box art is fantastically designed. Belongs in a museum! 😆

[@lilitharam44]

Thanks for the great memories. I'd love to see a video on Halloween Decorations from the 80's. I remember my Granddad had a set of foam pumpkins with weird faces, kinda like those balls but they were meant to be for decor. They were made out of the same foamy stuff Nerf footballs were. Keep up the great work!

[@RetroDaze]

Thank you for those kind words! We enjoy making these and getting the nostalgic juices flowing. We did cover some vintage decorations in one of our Halloween-inspired videos from last year! Thinking it was this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKLai3iDfLWcgbcsi=A6C0V3WxOVULt_oJ

[@lilitharam44]

@@RetroDaze Thanks so much, I'll check it out! :)

[@FamicomFanatic]

Awesome stuff! I had some toys called Visionaries with the holograms too, but I may have had 1 or 2 of these too. Memories are a bit cloudy 😂 I still have my original Boglin in the box and a couple loose small Boglins. These eBay prices are insane! 😳😱

[@RetroDaze]

Yeah, unfortunately even the new releases are a bit pricey!

[@80sKid.]

Shout out to _The Monster Squad_ board game! That was a childhood fave. FYI, that’s the 1976 TV show, not the 1987 movie. Bust it out every Halloween 🎃

[@RetroDaze]

There was a board game for that show? Thats great! Betting it’s kind of a rarity.

[@80sKid.]

@@RetroDaze Oh yeah, it's one of the few bits of merch that came out - not surprisingly, most of the stuff is really hard to find, almost impossible...

[@jimbear62]

I bought a Gre-Gory at a garage sale...I, unfortunately, no longer have it

[@RetroDaze]

Ahh, well you never know. Perhaps one will pop up again someday somewhere other than EBay!

[@Paperclown]

lol i never heard of this channel i found it from his 1-900 number coverage you guys should totally watch that and i'll be watching lots of his videos today too !

[@RetroDaze]

Thank you so much PC! We’re very glad you found us. We appreciate you joining us in our little nostalgic journeys!

[@LemonTree9280]

Skeleton Warriors!!!! I loved the cartoon and had several figures!

[@RetroDaze]

It had a decent fan base and was a cool property!

[@countrylifewithderek]

I have the super natural eagle eye from when I was a kid

[@RetroDaze]

Keep holding on to that little treasure!

[@CarlKeeling1881]

I freaking loved Mad Scientist toys

[@RetroDaze]

Anything where you could “create” like that was right up our alley.

[@MMinifigurecollector]

I have monster lego minifigures that currently on display around pymaid set

[@RetroDaze]

Nice! Those would make for a nice mood table display!

[@MonsterHobbiesModelCarGarage]

I have a squeaky pumpkin.

[@godofzombi]

Ah, Gre-gory, precursor to Mosquitor.

[@RetroDaze]

@@godofzombi Knew there was another toy out there that did the blood pumping thing. Wasn’t there also a figure about the size of a Ken doll that also did?

[@godofzombi]

@@RetroDaze Yes! Pulsar: Ultimate man of adventure, from Mattel toys from 1977.

[@Zer0Bit1]

are you guys here in Jacksonville?? Awesome!

[@RetroDaze]

There may be at least one of us hanging around there. 😆

[@bluejedi723]

Garbage pail kids 4ever!

[@ryansmurda1552]

Hell yeah! GPK will always be my favorite from my childhood!

[@RetroDaze]

GPK rulez!

GPK 4 life! 💚

[@ragnar-tl4fl]

I still have a few skeleton warriors

[@RetroDaze]

@@ragnar-tl4fl They’d be perfect to break out for Halloween… set them up on a mood table. 🎃

[@BigMoneyGripMCV]

Yes! GRE-GORY

[@RetroDaze]

All the Gre-Gory fans coming out for this one! 😆

[@ragnar-tl4fl]

I had a greg gory bat and its my last name Gregory

[@mrsnayarlhats4242]

Those toys look amazing I love monsters and in fact girls like me love monsters heck I love Lovecraftian horrors because they're is character from a cartoon that's from Mexico and the character is a Lovecraftian horror but not any Lovecraftian horror he is based on Nyarlathotep and its quite interesting he inspired me to make my own eldritch horror hybrid well they're a mix between a eldritch horror and a jorogumo her name is Mrs Nayarl Hats and she's a beautiful monster I created

[@RetroDaze]

@@mrsnayarlhats4242 That’s awesome! Thank you for sharing that with us. Would be cool to see.
