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

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.

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

[@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!

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.

[@kranibal]

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

[@arghjayem]

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

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

[@jaymesstewartcreativ]

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

[@toondocker]

[@Chalor.]

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

[@flounder2283]

the problem is that plastic doesn't last and is prone to sweating and becoming brittle. it will be a future collector's nightmare.

[@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

[@MH-br3th]

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

Ouch

[@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.

[@MattyB574]

Love these guys my no 1 goto channel

Another great episode on Saturday morning.

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!

[@horrorhound8564]

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

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

[@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.

[@grendel0013]

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

[@mathewelsaesser5344]

Another Banger. thanks for the great content. yall have a merry Christmas from Miami Fl

[@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

[@onemansvideos2134]

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

[@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

[@M3LTUP]

Good video. Thanks.

[@toyfederation]

You’re welcome!

[@Ghostsofthetimelines]

Always good watch for Saturday morning! 😂

[@toyfederation]

Thanks!

[@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.

[@MrChristopoop]

If your Rattler landing gear was down, and inside out because 10 year old you was in a rush Christmas morning to put it together, you leave it (they wouldn’t retract like that anyway, and if they could the wheel would still be exposed. That toy was unforgiving if put together incorrectly the first time.

[@YETIPUNK]

Merry Christmas, thank you for all the great toy videos you've made this year, i always look forward to an upload

[@toyfederation]

Thanks, you too!

[@tamponlolipopmachine]

New subscriber here.... love your videos. Keep em coming

[@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. 😅

[@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

[@Seraphim2611]

Loved this episode structure! And can’t wait to see the Dino riders set up

[@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.

[@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.

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.

[@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.

[@antoniocruz5596]

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

[@kingpatriot]

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

[@yc5391]

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.

[@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.

[@maribelbecerra3774]

Yeah that's cool please more vintage gi joe and motu

[@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

[@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.

[@DurdyMurdy812]

[@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.

[@JoeMapes]

Did Hasbro make GI Joe store displays back in 80's?

[@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

[@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

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

[@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.
