Pixel Dan Toy Hunts at RetroFest Arkansas: Vintage Toy Hunting Adventure! | Pixel Dan Toy Hunts KZbin Channel
In this exciting episode of Pixel Dan Toy Hunts, join Pixel Dan as he embarks on an epic toy-hunting adventure at RetroFest Arkansas, one of the biggest retro toy and video game conventions in the state! Located in the heart of Arkansas, RetroFest is a paradise for vintage toy collectors and nostalgic fans of the 80s and 90s. Pixel Dan is on the hunt for some rare and sought-after figures from classic toy lines such as Masters of the Universe, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, G.I. Joe, and Star Wars.
As soon as Pixel Dan arrives at RetroFest, he’s greeted by an enormous selection of booths packed with vintage action figures, rare collectibles, and toys from every major retro line you can imagine. The energy is palpable as he begins his journey through rows and rows of vendors, each showcasing treasures that will ignite the nostalgia of any toy collector. Throughout the video, Pixel Dan provides expert insights on his finds, shares stories about his favorite toy lines, and gives helpful tips for toy collectors who are just starting or looking for specific pieces.
At the Masters of the Universe booth, Pixel Dan discovers a pristine Battle Cat from the original 1983 line, still in its vintage box. He also finds some rare figures from the 200X Masters of the Universe series, including a mint-in-box He-Man and Skeletor. As a huge fan of MOTU, Pixel Dan is thrilled to add these to his collection. He takes a deep dive into the condition of the figures, offering advice to viewers on what to look for when assessing the quality of vintage toys.
Next, Pixel Dan hits the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles section, where he finds some of the rarest Leonardo figures he’s been searching for to complete his personal collection. He stumbles upon a Giant Troll Leonardo, which he’s been after for years, and a Savage Leonardo, one of the harder-to-find figures from the late 90s. As he negotiates with the seller, he provides valuable tips on bargaining and getting the best deals at conventions like RetroFest.
The journey doesn’t stop there. Pixel Dan also discovers some hidden gems in the G.I. Joe section, including a rare Cobra Commander figure still in its original packaging and a selection of vehicles from the A Real American Hero line. His knowledge of G.I. Joe figures is unmatched, and he gives viewers an in-depth look at the history behind these iconic toys, explaining why they’ve remained popular for decades.
One of the most exciting moments of the video is when Pixel Dan visits a booth specializing in Star Wars figures, where he spots a carded Boba Fett from the Power of the Force line. The vendor also has a collection of Kenner Star Wars figures from the 70s and 80s, including a Luke Skywalker with the rare double-telescoping lightsaber. Pixel Dan provides a history lesson on these figures and their significance in the Star Wars toy collecting community.
As the video continues, Pixel Dan explores various other booths, including those selling rare Marvel Legends figures, Transformers, and even wrestling action figures from the WWF Hasbro line. Throughout the hunt, he engages with fellow collectors, shares stories, and enjoys the incredible atmosphere of RetroFest Arkansas.
The video wraps up with a recap of Pixel Dan’s RetroFest haul, where he shows off all the amazing vintage toys he purchased during the day. He offers his final thoughts on the convention, emphasizing the importance of supporting local toy shows and conventions like RetroFest, which are crucial for keeping the toy collecting community alive and thriving.

Who wants to go to this con next year?

[@wildsmiley]

No, too far away. Like everything. WHY IS THERE NO RETRO TOY CONVENTION WHERE I LIVE?! 😭

[@markheadley125]

I wish I could go🎉🎉🎉🎉❤😊

[@SavvyScribblin]

I'm sorry if this is inappropriate but my husband Niek was such a huge fan. He loves your videos and watched each one without fail. I lost him suddenly in an accident this week. I am struggling. But I wanted to let you know how much joy you brought him and how excited he was to see new videos. You inspired him to addany figures to his collection. His favorites were Ghostbusters and ninja turtles. You may remember us from creepy Santa - Niek and Savannah . Because his name was Dutch and I always included the pronunciation. Just, thank you. And please save a moment to remember him. He was truly an amazing man. If y'all could have met, I know you would have been friends. I'm sorry for the long comment. I'm trying to ease my grief by spreading his love. And he had so much love.

[@momstrashcan]

@@SavvyScribblin So sorry for you loss Savannah. Always hard to hear of a fellow collector passing. Unfortunately it has happened too often it seems over the past 5 years. Praying for you and your family.

[@Belmont_79]

Thanks for sharing with us this great toy show and experience, stay heavy and blessings 🤘😎

[@okchief420]

Always a pleasure seeing you, thanks for being so awesome my friend, I'll be seeing you at Retropalooza!

[@ShredderMediaRetro]

Chief is OK 😂

[@CaptainPeconi]

If you didn’t sell the exo squad items I’d love to talk to yea about them!

[@clintrousey989]

See you guys there!

[@okchief420]

​@@CaptainPeconiI sold 3 during the con.

[@CaptainPeconi]

@@okchief420 if there’s anyway to see about some of the rest do let me know!

[@Ticianette]

Those bootleg turtles are not from South Korea but from Finland! The name Kilpikonna is finnish and means Turtle, but as in Finland, most words are built to describe things so it actually translates to Shield-Toad. The word Hahmot underneath means characters. There was even text on the side next to the South Korea saying "not suitable for under 3 year olds" in finnish. Super fun to see those as I grew up in Finland and now live in Australia and have never seen those, at least that I can remember. Would definitely been a pick up for me!

[@joshua2814]

Was laughing at Ryder’s “I am a robot” mantra in the background.

[@lordtao5617]

Actually their is nothing missing from the Zarkon Zapper, I have one from back in the day, it's just that the photo on the back shows a longer blaster than the one on the actual toy.

[@CountsCuriousCurios]

OkChief hooking it up!! 👏 Voltron coffin was sweet. Nice of Turtle Chris to help you spend some more money. 😂 Thanks Dan.

[@unorthdoxcleric6953]

Those Exo squad look soooooooooooooo cool man set up. I hope someone bought the whole lot in one go.

[@crimsongryphon]

This event was so much fun and filled to the brim with nostalgia. I woukd have missed out on this event if YOU hadnt been in attendance. As i said at the show, getting to meet you was the reason I went at all. Thanks for coming to Arkansas and taking the time that you do with each of us fans.

[@alejandrocerrud4049]

Great video!!!

[@toypocalypsenow]

I bought the motu record book holder from that guy at the con. I ALMOST bought that bootleg fakker too.

[@RetroActionUK]

I don’t collect Exosquad either but those E-Frames look phenomenal and I didn’t know about the micro playset. That is awesome. I liked seeing OkChief in some of the older toy hunt videos so great to see him in this one and his booth is incredible!

[@lonniem9728]

Awesome video

[@eltenda]

U had a great time and you bought cool stuff! Oooooh yeah😊

[@RetroPlasticAddic085]

Ok Cheif had great stuff displayed. The Exosquad brought back great memories. In our youth, my friend had these & never played with them, he found them to be tedious so I traded him SNES games for them. I loved them

[@bobbymack3636]

WoW, that was an awesome booth that would have gotten me in BIG trouble!

[@tupalev]

'Stina YT Collector channel when? 🤣 . That was such a fun interaction at the beginning of the video :) . Also hook me up with some Turtle minigolf - I've never seen that in any toy hunting videos that I can recall. Your youngest kid saying "I am a robot" in the background is pretty darn adorable as well. A super enjoyable classic family Toy Hunting video - ty!

[@awesomeadamfrom2099]

Awesome job Dan with the toy hunting drop a like for you.

[@mikepetersen7319]

The con is over and Dan is still at the same booth, digging and picking😂

[@toytripperv8488]

Yup, chief's booth can be the whole convention itself

[@smbcollector]

16:49 My heart! It's not often I see a table of Mario goodies in these sorts of videos, but I'd love to join the toy hunt at that table. Prices look steep, though.

[@Dhuntermxl]

Super video and super prices with chiff, thank for sharing

[@saturdaymorningfan3123]

That ms pac-man wind up is a classic. Need to pick one up. That q-bert wind up is pretty neat also and love the voltron vehicles.

[@jasonreeves1826]

I watched this last Saturday, and on Sunday I visited my parents. My mom found old totes in their basement with old toys, and my Zarkon Zapper was in one! I thought it had been lost sometime in the 90s! Ram Man, Captain Power, and an Adventure People figure were also in the totes.

[@robertrichard6056]

Great to meet you Dan!

[@glxblrt]

Kilpikonna is finnish word for "Turtle"

[@shockwave7513]

These videos of yours always make me so jealous. You're only at one booth, and you've already seen more variety of stuff than I usually see at an entire toy show here in Toronto.

[@bill5258]

That Qbert wind up was sick, reminding me in the eighties a convince store right beside my house and playing qbert there and the Skate Lodge lol

[@antonius9]

That Voltron vehicle looks like something Mosquitor would ride. And you have a great friend. Thanks for the video, Dan.

[@TXVGCollector82]

Awesome time hanging out man! Okchief had some 🔥🔥🔥 . Can’t wait til the next show. And Mikey is still the best turtle 😬

[@zarnistastudios]

Hail to the Chief!! Always cool to see him and what he has. And we are all looking forward to Christina’s collection tour. :) I have curbed my collecting in preparation for the Ghostbusters HasLab this October. So these videos definitely help the withdrawals.

[@briankbender5757]

Awesome finds

[@marcbrunson6986]

"Check it out!" with you wife in the background ha ha. Timing is everything ha ha. I still wish I lived in Jonesboro because Conway would have been a hop and skip from it. I liked Super Naturals but never had any. You should make another channel and call it Stina Toy Hunts ha ha. The Voltron robeast is a must. The Hahmot is really cool to see. Some reason the weapon rack looks great in that color. I had 2 of those carnival glass things. The only one I still have that I won at our county fair was Ghostbusters. May be if your friend does the toyfest again next year, I'll plan to go. I had a soccer game watch one. I also had a black watch that transformed in a little robot. That Zarkon blaster is weird. Over the Top had a line? Mikey is my best Turtle. Wow, your friend is amazing to you.

[@warrennewman5325]

Looks fun time there awesome sat vid dan 👍

[@IanFiebigwi]

Exosquad squad!

[@shortinos]

Awesome pickups

[@customworldart]

Pixel Dan it's me again You Should pick up the He-man #1 comic book that will set it all💪💪, love to collect that He-man #1, I have a collection of He-man together with Thundercats Vol.1-6, but that He-man no.1 is a must have🎉😊❤

[@alexgarbe1971]

I'm sensing a spin off channel for Stina.

[@MrTheMighty]

Craaaap, I wish I'd known about this one sooner! It's only like a 4 hour drive... Maybe next year!

[@jmstringfield]

That exo squad line!!!! Yowza!

[@00ABBITT00]

Exo Squad and Ronin Warriors are the two lines I dream about collecting and completing.

[@grantgraveline4385]

Thanks again for the Zelda Twilight princess figures. I've been looking for a Zant figure. Get your book done so we can hang out at Retro World.

[@Kap00rwith2os]

Looks like Stuns grabbed the bearded Vinylmation figure after all! 🥰

[@heavy3380]

I remember that cartoon with Pluto in it

[@chrisrosa9664]

Fire video as always and I’m thinking of jumping into the Exo squads too 💯

[@jimmerseiber]

Man this is the con/show for me! I wish it was close to me.

[@matthewmiller1194]

I think the viewers need to see Christina's Disney Vinylmation collection......curious how many she has

[@Vaheirr]

Okay Dan! Make a video with Stina her whole Vinylmation collection. All those hauls come by in all your videos, but we never see the collection!!!

[@TheBoglin]

7:20 Ghostlings! I still remember me and my friend Allison walking up to our local Genovese Drug Store looking for new toys (it was the only place within walking distance that sold toys) and they had a BIN of these Supernaturals toys on clearance for 99 cents each! Between her & me, we got all 8 of them that day 😂😂 9:11 The NOID!! I Found this bendy MOC at a store called "Monstarz" (I think that was the spelling) in Scranton PA back in early 2023. I think I paid $20 or $25 bucks for it. I was so excited to get whats essentially a Noid action figure. 22:45 🤣 😂 I JUST saw this guy at a local store last week. Such a random Hulk Hogan toy. 23:13 Yep, Kenner made a Wind-Up Q*Bert, some PVC figures and even a plush toy. TOMY made that wind up Miss Pac-Man. 25:06 Slammers are such a random weird skater line from Mattel in 1990. It was the line that the name "Ripster" first shows up.

[@willywampa84]

That ship can be used to run fire safety drills in your house, lol!

[@vengeance1701]

I got the writer, Paul Kupperberg, to sign my MOTU DC #2. You should try to get in touch with him since he wrote those with basically just the toys and their basic descriptions to go on. They dumped the toys in front of him, told them their basic description, and away he went.

[@actionfigurephill4131]

Ok Chief is cool as the other side of the pillow.i can't believe he caught that piece before it dropped

[@Joeyfindstoys]

That TNNT shirt is 🔥

[@jimmerseiber]

Does stina have a page? I'd love to see her entire current vinylmations collections and see when there's updates!

[@bootleggodzilla1]

Someone needs to make soft vinyl 10 or 12 inch robeasts to go with the panosh plaze voltron and the matchbox one.

[@mikegeary8056]

I bet there’s a country girl somewhere named Staria. “STARIA, get out here and get your brother out from under the house”!

[@jurassicroom7673]

I always liked the Modern Marvels episode on the making and history of Disneyland/World. I will say local Orlandians before Disney actually hated the company cause when they drained the swamps into the surrounding areas, it irreversibly tanned the surrounding clear water.

[@Sonko2k]

im a robot... beep beep

[@videogamessource2473]

That's where they got the club noise from lol the voltron sound ba ba baaaa

[@xjanix]

The ”korean” Turtles have Finnish language on `em Kilpikonna hahmot = turtle figures ! Crazy stuff! Never seen ‘em here!

[@chadandrew6251]

Those He-Man comics were high for $100, I’ve seen the 3 for $15-$20 each

[@BMANTIS1]

Those poor parents ears listening to that racket i bet those batteries disappeared fast 😅

[@Mini_Pete]

I’m surprised you didn’t get the blue bootleg He-man so you could have a Faker too.

[@JoePal-c3n]

I used to have that little D&D guy but his shield was more detailed then what you got. Might not be his real shield just saying

[@RetrocartCollector]

It was awesome to get to meet you and visit a bit at Retro Fest. Great to see what you were able to find there! 🎉🎉 I regret not coming home with that Jurassic Park Jeep.

[@JoePal-c3n]

Guess I am wrong about the shield but I thought it had more detail then that

[@PipeToys]

When will we see Cristina's collection? 😅

[@butwhydoe4020]

18:55 “I am a robot”

[@DannyRayn]

Give a like for the zapper sound 😂😂😂

[@clintrousey989]

Donatello is the best turtle!

[@crimsonjester]

AI description must have been taken from a different or complete video.

[@hereiam6149]

the exo squad cartoon is really depressing

[@skrimaging]

Raph is the best turtle

[@noejinn]

Quick question. Not at NYCC?

[@PixelDanToyHunts]

Am not

[@Jeflexful]

@@PixelDanToyHunts Why not? That's like your 2nd home. Or maybe 3rd home.. Or should I say all comic cons are your 2nd homes.

[@doomedhuh]

no gi joes :(

[@JohnnyDisco-bg7si]

That Voltron toy is so annoying sounding. I would definitely be sent outside or to my room with the door closed with that one.

[@mathleyfam]

I have a lot of vinylmation that I want to sell

[@shoheiimamura4067]

You should've boughten the Turtles for Ed!!!

[@wildsmiley]

Michelangelo IS the best turtle. 🟧
