Description:
Join me, Pixel Dan, on an epic toy hunting journey at Power Con 2023! From its humble beginnings in a hotel room to becoming a massive convention with all the top toy companies, Power Con has always held a special place in my heart.
At the convention, I kick things off by exploring the incredible world of G.I. Joe. I score some awesome Shadow Ninja and Ninja Force figures that have been on my radar for a while. These classic figures bring back some fantastic childhood memories!
But the real gem of the day was discovering the Monsters of the Pokeverse booth. There, I stumbled upon the elusive Jewel Lord Solitaire from the Rock Lords line - a toy I've been hunting down for ages! Rock Lords have always been a personal favorite, and adding Solitaire to my collection was a dream come true.
My adventure continues as I make my way to the Barbarian Rage booth, where I get a first look at Berzerker, the latest addition to their amazing figure lineup. And I can't forget to mention the jaw-dropping Musculoids line - pure nostalgia!
Eternia Dreams booth was like stepping into Masters of the Universe paradise! It was a delight to be surrounded by all things MOTU. The love for these classic characters is alive and well, and it was a pleasure to soak it all in.
Back at my own table, I had the incredible opportunity to meet viewers and subscribers. Your support means the world to me, and I was overwhelmed by your enthusiasm and kindness. Some even grabbed a copy of my book on Masters of the Universe - thank you! One fan even surprised me with a custom action figure of myself - mind-blowing!
Throughout the day, I also stumbled upon some other treasures like pogs and more custom Masters of the Universe action figures. Power Con 2023 was a whirlwind of nostalgia, excitement, and connecting with amazing fans like you.
I can't wait to meet even more of you in the future, so make sure to stay tuned for more toy adventures, reviews, and all things geeky right here on my channel. Thanks for being the best part of this incredible journey! Don't forget to like, subscribe, and hit that notification bell so you never miss an update. Let's keep the toy hunting spirit alive! 👾🎉
Power-Con is an annual fan convention that celebrates the Masters of the Universe franchise and related toy lines. It's a gathering for fans of He-Man, She-Ra, and other related properties, including G.I. Joe, Transformers, ThunderCats, and more.
The convention often features panels and discussions with creators, voice actors, and artists associated with these franchises. Attendees can also buy, sell, and trade toys and collectibles, making it a significant event for collectors. Additionally, there are cosplay opportunities, exclusive merchandise releases, and the chance to meet fellow fans who share a passion for these iconic properties.
Power-Con started as a small convention focused mainly on Masters of the Universe but has expanded over the years to encompass a broader range of '80s and '90s toy lines. It has become a popular annual event for fans of retro and vintage toy properties.

I love that you added - Stina’s “Why??” That made me laugh so hard … I would soo be needing a Jiminey Cricket Stina in that moment too … Lucky she wasn’t around when I bought a lot of Vintage MOTU new old stock ‘Light switch covers’ 😮

[@toomuchtobmac]

I put my animator thru it's paces. I went thru hundreds of batteries and wore it out. Loved it.

[@heathharris2545]

6:21 does that Castle Grayskull up against the wall have arms and legs. That's a new obsession.

[@BernyToys]

0:06 “Masters del Universo” TShirt 😍😍😍😍👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 un fuerte abrazo desde España!

[@mping82]

Thanks for including my booth in the video! Sorry I missed you. I had walked by yours a couple times to say hi, but you must have been doing a panel or toy hunting. Another time!

[@MarkCerbo]

I lost my Screech along with Webstor in 1985 after traveling with my Grandmother to her hometown. I did get back Webstor through MOTU Origins, but not Screech which is not available in my country. Great Story about those Screeches.

[@AlphamagnusCreations]

Thanks for posting my Duncan Donuts cosplay! I was also the person at the end of the show that dropped off the Remco Guana!

[@AlphamagnusCreations]

Also seeing that wild orange triceratops bird , they would go GREAT with each other

[@glasswolf0162]

You just earned your green power ring. That was an incredible display of willpower. I would've bought everything in sight.

[@yoyodynetoys]

That jewel lords figure is amazing! Earth to Kentucky (the booth where you got it), is one of the best toy stores I've ever been to. Customs and artist made toys and an amazing collection of vintage toys and ephemera - you should go there and do a video, Dan! You won't be dissappointed!!! Also thanks for showing my Pokemon Motu mashups in your video! :)

[@joshua2814]

If I repeated that commercial as a kid, I'm pretty sure I would've gotten in trouble for "polish this!"

[@andydanneker5202]

I have been waiting to see your PowerCon video. I was there on Saturday and walked through each vendor atleast twice and still felt like I missed some of the things you showed here. I had a great time and my wife had a great time hunting for her mlps and car bears. I went past your table a few times and you were very busy so I didn’t stop but wanted to say I got back into toy collecting in March and when deciding what vintage toy line to start with (so I would not get overwhelmed and buy everything, trust me I want everything) I found you MOTU book and it is amazing and I go through all the pages before toy shows to make sure when I see stuff it has the right accessories and such. Anyways thank you for your book and the videos. Hopefully there will be a PowerCon 2024 so I can add some great motu goodness to my collection and not have to wait till 2025 to get my PowerCon fix.

[@leecustoms2888]

Thanks so much for featuring so much of my table! Was an honor to meet you after watching your stuff!

[@dollydaylight3437]

Such a great haul of a whole variety of figures and customs

[@RustbeltCollector]

What a flashback! That TMNT figure with the water play feature is one my brother had as a kid and I loved playing with it! Not sure where it ended up, but that was such a fun (and not very functional) toy! My personal favorite was detective Donny though, with swappable disguises!

[@missstarbuck]

Awesome video! And so kind, all those gifts you've got 🥰

[@F13fan]

Love Dan Larson was right across from you lol and very cool seeing all the vintage boxed & carded stuff. And wow sealed MOTU cases!

[@johnnyvegas8030]

Power Con was like Christmas come early for you. 😂😂😂

[@michaelrtraverso]

I swear I thought when your wife said "If you're going to buy 48 Screeches", she would finish that sentence with "you better figure out other homes for 47 of them." :D Great video!

[@NARC.1]

I love that you got the cuffs, man! Full circle and I love it

[@tycondrius23]

I remember Solitaire was one of the only Jewel lords that show up in the gobots vs the rocklords animated movie , I believe her and nugget are the first ones you see

[@Novaargh]

I love that the dude thanked you with a custom figure after you put him in a previous video getting him more subs.. I love cons, i missed out on this months one, because i was to late getting a table, not toys mind you, i do comics. love toys, of course, i mean, that's why we're here :P

[@medmar76]

You got the blue GI Joe/Streetfighter II Blanka that came with the Beast Blaster (reprint of the Dreadnok Thunder Machine) vehicle, along with a red costume Chun Li.

[@R3troZone]

I'm 46 years old in a couple weeks. I witnessed the entire 80s and 90s and all their fads. I don't remember pogs at all. They must have been for the kids that were slightly younger than me because none of my friends had them or cared about them. I never even heard of them until that Simpsons episode where Milhouse was like "Remember Alf? He's back. In pog form."

[@thenostalgiabusiness]

I'm seven years younger than you and remember them becoming a thing around fourth or fifth grade. So you would've been nearly out of high school and yeah, I don't think 17 and 18 year olds would've cared about little circular pieces of cardboard with cartoons printed on them. Hell, I barely cared about them as an elementary school kid. They just seemed so primitive in a time when Super Nintendo was already a thing.

[@R3troZone]

@@thenostalgiabusiness Yeah I graduated high school and started college at age 17 in the summer of 1995 so I had my mind on lots of other things. lol

[@SecretOfMonkeyIsland784]

Yeah pogs were definitely mid 90's ish, so for us early 80's kids we were "Too cool for toys" by then

[@bookat69]

Man, seeing those Bushido's, I really hope we get more Ninja Force in Classified. We've got Stormshadow (even though he was hard to get ahold of) and Nunchuck coming up.

[@scockery]

I found one of the Jewel Lords in the 90's at a garage sale and had no idea what it was. It was Solitaire.

[@greatgibby]

Man... Ever since PowerCon left CA, I haven't been able to go due to my poor vision and not being able to really travel alone, but before that... I only missed the first show and have been to evey single one since! If you haven't been to one before and can go, you really need to! The people there are awesome, the venders are amazing, the panels are always entertaining and holy cow... The toys are mind blowing! Every fan of anything should go! Anyway, Dan... Great hall man! Everything you picked up (except for those hideous 90s Joe's) was amazing! If I ever come across my toy bird from the beginning of the episode, I'll for sure give it to you. I remember having that and that orange two headed dragon thing and playing with them all the time with my He-Man figures. They were AWESOME!!!! Thanks for sharing your experience at the con and thanks for sharing your hall as well. Have a great day and if PowerCon ever comes back to CA, I'll be sure to say hi again 😎👍

[@djaxisravenguard]

Good lord. I remember when the stores couldn't even give away those disco skeletors. No joke the one toy store near me back in that day had those repaint 200x waves all the way down to $3 each or two for $5.

[@eltenda]

Great show and finds! I need to attend for sure next time

[@AWW8472]

Unopened cases of vintage MOTU figures almost confirms that rumor of a forgotten truckload of vintage MOTU figures somewhere in Europe.

[@SecretOfMonkeyIsland784]

I spot a massive drop in vintage prices (Same as MASK), although Origins dropped the prices of a cliff anyway

[@micshork]

I’m glad that you enjoyed the gifts. I hope you slowly grow your Small Soldiers collection. I also hope you get Cody and Brandi to autograph those Barbies.

[@wlnorris75]

FYI. Those Screeches seem to be coming out of the wood work. I know two dealers who are breaking down a case of those and selling them. One is on E-Bay, $28 plus shipping. Toy Dept is the third case I'm aware of that has come to market in the past year. I suspect someone is out there sitting on more. It's probably good you passed on them. These were about $50 a couple of years ago, but now that so many are hitting the market and dealers are competing, so the price is crashing. Great way to get a mint loose screech if you need one... just not 48!!!

[@SecretOfMonkeyIsland784]

Agree, a sensible reseller would trickle them to market to keep the price high, if all at once then its going off a cliff return wise.

[@petrarose9298]

Wyatt Rose’s art, Pixel Dan!! Thank you!!

[@AWW8472]

30:21 That's a Remco Warrior Beasts figure. Slightly better quality than Galaxy Warriors. Easily mistaken.

[@theartisanrogue]

You know Godbeast would have made you buy that box of Screeches and sell him the extras! :D

[@michaeloliver1905]

@Pixel Dan. When you found the pog maker and you said how they were popular for about a summer in the 90s… Well they were popular way later and some of the hardest ones to find now are the ones AAFES gave out during Operation Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom. What happened was there was a shortage of American coins and shipping large amounts of coins was heavy and expensive they started printing pogs in place of coins. As the war drew closer to closing they told us we had till the end of the year to cash them in before they lost value. Interesting enough only nickels, dimes, and quarters were made. No pennies because no taxes downrange so nothing was ever priced outside of a multiple of 5.

[@PlasticGeek]

I’m gonna guess the guy with the rock lord had no idea what he had 😮

[@darrenj7280]

Stena is the best. You are lucky to have her!

[@Jcc2224]

It was great to meet you at the show after all these years of watching your channel! It was great talking KZbin with you, and your Kidrobot Proto/Break Man is in good hands! lol Sadly I got to the show pretty late on the final day and couldn't experience a lot of it, but it was fun to meet you and a few other friends, as well as find a few obscure toys I had been looking for, namely a Spy Monkey Creations Weaponeers of Monkaa Optimus Prime homage! Best part about these shows is finding stuff you'd never find anywhere else. Great vid man, hope to see you again next year!

[@belmont6444]

Thank you Pixel Dan, blessings 🤘

[@Imac7065]

Pogs were the only fad I ever fell into.. 1995ish... I had 10 tubes full and like 20 slammers

[@mikeledger2614]

Powercon is the best! I hope it comes to LA again

[@bobeggjr95]

Thanks for showing off the battle cat, that was super fun to sculpt!

[@nl396]

I recognize the toys at 8:01. They're a vintage line from the 80s called Imperial, they're very durable. I was given a few dinosaurs and a tiger as hand me downs when I was little.

[@elcowabungahe-man6156]

Great video Dan I hope one day to go to the Power Con i love everything about MOTU but also customs

[@SEEshadow]

That display behind you is incredible!!!

[@zzzartan]

OMG Solitaire for only $12 is a steal!!!

[@JustinTyme33]

You can never have enough Screeches.

[@ajawizard]

I ruined my copy of the Mortal Kombat Trilogy insert from EGM with the Milkcap Maker when I was young because I *REALLY* wanted some Mortal Kombat pogs. I still kinda do.

[@Nolan.Collects]

Man, had SO many Pogs lol

[@ecmagee1984]

I had the milk cap maker. I made some playboy caps as a kid lol

[@peze80]

Great video as always, Dan. Personally the haul I liked the best were the ones at 35:30 from Spy Monkey Creations! They really capture that 80s look and vibe!

[@beartrapinuwuland]

awesome convention, I have been thinking of buying some of the biblical adventure figures for a while, cool to know they were at the convention

[@Cavillier1970]

48 Screeches?!? Dan you know why you didn't buy the case of them. We all know why. Stina would have beaten you like a Cherokee Drum brother. LOL 🤣

[@josemerced1492]

I just saw the movie The Bloody Man. Alright Mr Principal I had those 2 wrestling figures when I was a kid lol

[@MusicTheLifeBlood]

Fun episode. -Dustin

[@ArchangelKryptonian7828]

I had enjoyed the Toy Hunting at the Power Con. There were Huge selection of Toys that I saw on your channel. Very Interesting and Entertaining indeed. Congrats on your Big Toy Haul! And thanks Pixel Dan for your Totally Awesome Content!

[@bouchamr]

[@jwhetsel9556]

I never understood pogs.

[@8Robua]

Eternia Dreams..... 👌🏻

[@knyght27]

Am I wrong or is that box of 48 Screeches a fantastic investment? Each one could be sold for over $200, right?

[@butiplayoneontv]

not even half that per ebay listings.

[@residentvania7733]

So wait.. is that Jewel lord/ Rocklord an original or a custom piece??? If it's an original for $12 you scored big time.

[@gilmartinez2410]

Pogs was not popular in anyway in NY. I’m a 80s kid.

[@Patmanx1]

The wife had to crash the party. We now know where Dan's limit is at.

[@user-dr6jy9pl6h]
