Who likes these types of episodes?

These episodes rock!

[@toyfederation]

Thanks!!

[@RubBA-]

Great episode. Btw i give RC plastic parts a wd40 bath for about 24h to make the plastics stronger and give them more flex maybe it could also helpt to revive old plastics.@@toyfederation

[@toyfederation]

@@RubBA- awesome!

[@dennisccook]

I like the behind the scenes stuff with a trade filtered in - not the majority of episodes being trades. But there are others who’d prefer the opposite. 😊. Great content.

[@Dave_Boyer]

These videos are like my new “Saturday Morning Cartoons” I can’t wait, every week.

[@toyfederation]

Glad you like them!

[@onemansvideos2134]

I said the same thing

[@toyfederation]

It’s a common comment! We wish people would leave that comment every Saturday!

[@onemansvideos2134]

@toyfederation we do need more those vintage toy ads during the show tho

[@mikeyhifi]

I didn't read through all the comments to see if this has already been mentioned, but the Steel Brigade v1a backpack should have a cross on the inside (like Airborne's). If yours is hollow that's unfortunately not a v1a. Love this channel by the way, thanks for all of the great toy knowledge and entertainment!

[@boboset5803]

Would love to see more M.A.S.K. on a future episode especially after Ryans' "king of M.A.S.K." comment. Love the show!

[@edfreded6152]

Great idea!!!!! Toy federation. Your fans are waiting !!

[@Ddamien-th8nh]

I just stumbled on your channel. I am a toy hoarder in my 50’s and wish I had a store like yours around.

[@kranibal]

I am NOT into toys at all but I somehow love watching. You guys are doing something good for sure.

[@jaymesstewartcreativ]

It’s nice to see them actually find a box of stuff in the store room they were looking for.

[@kerrycaldwell2519]

just found this channel im addicted now

[@Judas1911WR1]

discovered your channel through FroggyFlips :) love your content and all the behind the scenes... greetings from germany

[@toondocker]

Loved seeing the Dino-Riders! Even if it was just a tad peek at them.

[@arghjayem]

16:18 I love that you’ve just got American Psycho casually playing in the background! 😂

[@kevinyoung9557]

Merry Christmas, Ryan, and to the crew at Toy Federation.

[@toyfederation]

thanks! You too!

[@Nope2022HugeTheWarningFan]

It's amazing how much value people put on molded and painted plastic from certain years. I don't have any money to build a collection, but I am obsessed with having my childhood toys back. I have dreams about shopping for toys, movies and music. Mostly stuff you can't find around where I live. I would have to travel an hour or two to get to a shop.

[@F13fan]

Damn love seeing carded MOTU in any condition! Every Dino rider?! Wow! Only missing the ice age stuff? Sectaurs is awesome to see complete too

[@homersimpson5668]

I don’t know how you keep track of what’s in the back ! There’s so many totes

[@wayneanderson9040]

OMG the WWF figures really took me back. In NZ the only way we could watch WWF big events was on VHS and they would come out months after the actual event, however we never knew the outcomes and it was so exciting. I think the first ever WWF event I ever watched was Wrestlemania IV. Love your content and reminiscing about my childhood again.

[@GlaciusX2]

Heres a trick for ya if you dont want to melt bits with a heat gun, put the part into some boiled hot water, works every time and the part goes back to its original shape ^^ electric kettle for the win

[@toyfederation]

We don't have a stove at the shop.

[@GlaciusX2]

You dont need a stove, you buy an electric kettle, and it boils you a full bowl of water in under a minute :)@@toyfederation

[@toyfederation]

Maybe but the heat gun worked nicely!

[@Beserker-cw4rf]

Another trick is to research the part you think is bent.... warthog antennas are supposed to be on an angle....it's how they came. Watching them wreck it was brutal

[@hannes9573]

I love the organized chaos in the back! And the amount of stuff is just wild! Thank you for this video guys, Great fun watching from Sweden!❤

[@toyfederation]

Oh wow! Sweden!!

[@jlo2o199]

I genuinely love how thoughtfully that man tried to not say “can u tell me if this is fake?” lol he tip toed around the idea so shyly to avoid the dreaded concept of…”Fake” 😃

[@PatchsOhulahan]

8:31 definitely had those as kid! So cool to see these.

[@unorthdoxcleric6953]

I was satisfied with the close ups (this time) lol. Just so u guys know I love this show and I appoligise if I offended anyone previously but was only trying to help u make the show even better. U guys rock.

[@aawasup]

I love seeing all the vintage in the back. It’s everywhere!

[@toyfederation]

It is!

[@Benjamin0119]

Well, at least the Star Wars weapon probably wasn't fake this time. I don't know how you guys keep track of all that stuff in the storage room!

[@MattyB574]

Love these guys my no 1 goto channel

[@toyfederation]

Thank you!

[@MH-br3th]

After seeing the back rooms it looks like a healthy mix of fun and sucks to work there! lol

[@toyfederation]

Ouch

[@0820pdb]

Never use heat guns to soften vintage plastic. Use boiling water, heat gun can and will destroy plastic, boiling water will never melt the plastic.

[@toyfederation]

We don't have a stove.

[@Jordan__Sloan]

You could get a hot plate for like 20 bucks

[@duckfisney3649]

@@toyfederation can use microwave to boil water, or electric kettle. If you guys have kuerig in shop can use that to just dispense hot water as well.

[@toyfederation]

Heat gun worked like a charm though

[@jamesestrada82]

@0820pdb I’m pretty sure the experts @Toy Federation know what they’re doing 😉

[@arichards140]

I have a lot of Star Wars toys from the 90s remake, don't know if they have any valve.

[@bandicootcollector]

If it's the 90s Kenner line, not so much. I see them for $10-20 a figure. But some of the monsters and vehicles can go quite a bit higher

[@MegaAppl3]

Another great episode on Saturday morning.

[@onemansvideos2134]

This is like my Saturday cartoons in the late 80s 90s I look fwd to the next episode all week....thank you

[@emocormatt]

I wonder about the long view on an inventory like that. Like, if an owner stopped buying new inventory today, how long would it take to liquidate that gigantic store + back room? That is SO MUCH product!

[@toyfederation]

We constantly move through inventory

[@timmyt.6796]

Wow, love the Dino-Riders

[@Tallpaaaul]

Under rated cartoon too

[@igotgame1621]

Merry Christmas to all hope everyone gets the toys they want for Christmas

[@ValentinesReps]

Great stuff as usual. Thanks for sharing as always Toy Federation.

[@toyfederation]

Thank you for watching!!

[@jasonhale82]

I wish Toy Federation would make a online store There is so much stuff I see on these videos that I want.

[@horrorhound8564]

Great vid ! These videos are almost therapeutic , Thanks for the continued content.

[@skillsaw777]

Love these videos because they aren't drama. Every one is relaxing and informative.

[@vamp9190]

Wow, they need IBM Watson to come in for inventory tracking and management! That has to be the key to be able to find individual items. Incredible, what's the value of this kind of inventory? I was initially thinking $1M+ but I don't know enough to make an accurate guess.

[@Quietstorm3333]

I love what your doing by doing it right and leading by example,hopefully the other stores follow suit

Didn't even notice that one, but I did see the zoomed in image of Patrick Bateman's eyes from American Psycho.

[@charlielarson2407]

Ever thought of using like a black light on those accessories loose the original has a different plastic just a thought see if you can tell the difference under a darker versus lighter plastic if there was any difference with black light

[@StonedFishing315]

Hey Ryan! You ever thought to try a steam gun on the plastics? no chance of burning or melting. temps should be plenty to get plastic soft. only down side if nothing electronic.

[@Ckapter]

My childhood is SCREAMING to grab that tote of Dino-Riders. I was a HUGE fan as a kid and I had most of the sets... unfortunately, they were well loved, played to death with, and were tossed during a move out of state. One of these days I might start collecting them. For now it's super cool to see them in vids like this.

[@BULLY_FINGER]

Thundercats race to the eye of Thundera. Had it as a kid in the 80's. Was awesome.

I found that Slaughter mail away in an antique mall for $25.00 with 20% off 18 months ago.

[@Mr.White10-65]

I've been collecting and selling for almost 30 years and I can tell you there are a lot of shady men in this hobby that will pass off these fake/repro accessories as real. I got berated on the Analog Toys page because of saying how bad these repros are for the hobby.

[@M4FFU]

All that stock; is it logged on a system or do you just know you've got stuff? Do you list it all on ebay, or, you just wait to sell stuff when the moment is right?

[@barryallen825]

If you have one of those Sarges, with the spots...don't put it near ones that do NOT have the spots...it is contagious.

[@Robert-nu4vc]

There are no Hasbro Slaughter figures that don't have those spots. They all have them. It's the material it's made of that starts to break down, and it is not contagious.

[@barryallen825]

@@Robert-nu4vc that's not true, i've seen plenty that don't have them...yet - but you're correct it's the material breaking down - and while there's not going to be medical studies performed to figure out how it hops around - yes, folks who have put them in with the ljn wwf figures, have noticed the green spots start to pop up on the ljns fairly soon after. it's not quite the same material, but it is transferrable. the SFTM WCW figures from the 90s can also get it - although i think they switched up what theirs was made of somewhere in that run.

those 91 hasbro wwf figures are the best!

[@videon8]

Not to be *that* guy, but Prune Face is called Orrimaarko in the modern lines (POTF2 & TVC). Major Panno is a fellow Dressellian rebel with two good eyes and a darker cloak that was released in the Legacy Collection. 😅

[@ADAM_COLLECTS]

I know action figures are meant to enhance the physique of an individual, but, let’s be frank, Hasbro were SO GENEROUS to Sarge with his physique! Sarge was built like a fridge with a head, he was not narrow wasted with a barn door back

[@toyfederation]

You're thinking of Sarge the wrestler, not Sarge the joe. Easy to mix up.

[@ADAM_COLLECTS]

@@toyfederation same guy did the voice but yeah, character was technically different. Both fictional because Robert Remus NEVER served

[@grendel0013]

I was expecting that GI Joe accessory to shrivel up like a Shrinky Dink when you hit it with the heat gun. 🤣

[@RiouInsuiko]

Thank you for the weekly video and happy holidays to everyone at the shop!

[@JC.SpdRcr5]

I prefer the warm water trick. Heat gun can easily get too hot. Easier to control the heat of the water using a thermometer.

[@Ghostsofthetimelines]

Always good watch for Saturday morning! 😂

[@toyfederation]

Thanks!

[@shannonwilliams1941]

I still look at the Sgt Slaughter as an LJN too lol but what is a bootleg worth? What are they selling for now? I’m interested in buying a fake.

[@toyfederation]

Would have to research that.

[@Seraphim2611]

[@grendel0013]

Major Panno? Orrimaarko?? It's PRUNE FACE!!!!

[@Chalor.]

Yeah, I had no clue what that guy was talking about with saying Major Pain 🤣. Guess they were getting the name confused with the Damon Wayans Major Payne movie. But like you pointed out, Prune Face's name is Orrimaarko, and Panno is a completely different character.

[@kingpatriot]

No way I could do this with all those repo's out there

[@davidtrujillo1648]

Major Panno, and Oorimarko (Prune Face). Are two distinct characters in ROTJ.

extra hot water works better than heat gun....

[@Chalor.]

Yeah, when it comes to accessories like staffs and such, I'll use a microwave and boil some water in a mug, dunk it (typically goes right back to its default shape), then immerse it in a cup of ice water.

[@Yetipunk]

[@davecargill1356]

Regarding the fake Star Wars weapons. If the same factory that made them originally still using the same mould and data sheets and make new weapons are they fake? They won’t be vintage but they won’t be fake surely

[@MidnightStarwolf]

The toy ship of Theseus.

[@chexcollects]

Yes. Fake. Just because somebody can make a super clone Rolex, doesn’t make it a Rolex.

[@kurtstergar1042]

Holy crap, thats a lot of stuff! So for all you complainers about these guys not paying enough. Look at all the stuff they have and they keep buying stuff. My point is they don't need anymore stuff so ur lucky to get the price offer you get. Or sell it yourself!

[@ovMAVERICKvo]

Those Dino Riders were beautiful.

[@toyfederation]

Yes! Need you to come buy them! haha

[@retrolifestyle2542]

Amazing fun vibes...great vid, keep that productive flow going

[@ToysAreMe75]

These are nice episodes, but dont use hot air blower to straighten bent plastic weapons or items. Hot water is many times better. Of course sometimes a blower is better if item that needs treatment is difficult shape or cant be dipped to water. The temperature is much more easy to control and cooling is also easy, just use cold water to do it. The risk with hot air is that you really easily ruin the item with too hot treatment.

[@toyfederation]

Yep, we know all the tricks. For this one the trick we used worked as planned.

[@willmc7681]

I remember them dinosaurs line up of toys! They were cool!

[@jsnsk101]

i kept all my star wars weapons in the little cases on the mail away bandolier so they would never get lost. 30 years later i found the bandolier in the attic, no weapons.
