Toy-Ventures: Awesome Vintage Toy Hunt

Toy-Ventures returns with a super fan recap of a toy hunt at an Antique Mall and then a toy show. I see some incredible things and go home with a surprisingly cool vintage toy.

Loved that Godzilla as a kid, I was also mesmerized by the card art and tried to replicate it the best I could.

[@MrGnarlyskull]

When I saw a Mighty Crusader in the thumbnail, I was in.

[@Merylstreep1949]

The bendy Godzilla and the Shogun Warrior were cool 😎

[@PlasticGeek]

That food fighters combat carton was a steal at $25!

[@japewisteria]

I remember those Burger King Empire Strikes Back cards...and all the food I had to eat to get them... ;)

[@retrouniverse2.0]

Oh man. My last trip to Stanford and son was amazing, one booth had so many card Ko toys

[@stillfirebellows]

That knock off Gigan!! $25 great price!!!

[@nekrodave3217]

I picked up that same Web figure from a friend last year for like $3. Good stuff. It looks to me like that Grendizer is a customized Mattel version. I hope the dealer pointed that out.

[@mars0395]

17:55 Micronauts Repto and Antron!!!!

[@a_world_made_of_cardboard]

I had that Bendy Godzilla too. I LOVED HIM. I used him with my Shogun Warriors Godzilla as "the Son of Godzilla." Great fun from such a simple toy.

[@BrickMantooth]

that's awesome!

[@Steve-wo7gt]

Me too. I loved that thing. I wish some company would reissue it. I'd love another one.

[@billburgnyc]

I did the exact same thing!

[@achtungjamie]

Loved that Godzilla. Had multiples as a kid, cause the wire frame would always tear through the body.

[@tikielvis]

I still have mine, my all-time favorite childhood toy (with Shogun Godzilla a close second); very worn, but still intact. I don't dare try to pose him, though.

[@whitetspider82whitetspider78]

Please do more Microman figures.

[@rickytoddbotelho9555]

The techno-retro 80's music was perfect 👍

[@BrickMantooth]

thanks I stumbled onto it.

[@esa5952]

I remember finding a Remco Comet and Shield on a pharmacy toy rack when I was a kid and not knowing what they were until I picked up a mighty crusaders comic at a used bookstore. Regretted not getting at least one of them. I would have chosen the Shield

[@thegroove5099]

I had a Shield figure back in the day! K-Mart had racks of the Mighty Crusaders. They really seemed to go all-in on Remco product.

[@genesanford9412]

Great post! . LOVE seein all these goodies from the comfort of my home. My wallet ALSO thanks you , as he didnt have to leave my pocket. ;D

[@donaldwiller9238]

Cool stuff 😎 micronots!

[@hamletstragedy8988]

Overwhelmed by nostalgia. At the beginning I saw a DFC “Dragon Riders of Styx” playset and “Over 115 Pieces”. I had a fantastic time with those back in ‘83. Bought a set using my allowance at Woolco! Holy grails of mine would be a Micronauts Ampzilla or Hornetroid.

[@Scotty-Z70]

Gaiking! and why is PIDGE always the only Voltron pilot anyone finds? did they make more of him than the others? at 15:09 That's the Lego Robin Hood Hide-Out!!! I had that as a kid. That was the FIRST Lego set that i actually assembled according to the directions! before that, i was always looking at lego sets like "i need that windshield...i need those wings..." as Baron Karza looks at humans to for body parts. But that set was the first time I actually built it exactly the same as in the directions! EDIT...after rewinding, it's not the SAME but from the same series. Mine was smaller. it had a lift-up panel...and it was the first in that series that i saw.

[@johnfronczek2658]

The “ Star Trek: The Motion Picture” 3.75 figures looked interesting. I also wonder how much the Gabriel Lone Ranger 3.75 figures cost.

[@machineman6498]

👍

[@spidey-67]

The painting at 1:17. I remember seeing those as a kid but I can’t remember who made them or where they were from

[@nosferatu-369]

I saw Antron and Repto in one of the glass cases. The Micronaut Aliens were so badass. I would have bought them immediately.

[@BrickMantooth]

Yeah I was happy to see both of them.

[@dwitefry4157]

yeah, they'd've been coming home with me if I'd seen 'em

[@thegroove5099]

Givwn that the Mighty Crusaders actuon figures imitated both the 'action feature' of the Super Powers line and the 'secret mission' shields of Secret Wars; I've always assumed this line and Defenders of the Earth were put out as 'play-along' figures for the Mattel and Kenner lines.

[@BrickMantooth]

they're definitely "Me too" lines but the scale issues are interesting.

[@thegroove5099]

@@BrickMantooth true.

[@TheNostalgicBasement]

Thanks for showing more 90s stuff this time 😂 I would love to go here they seem to have so much stuff I collect

[@robertgriffiths1724]

Creature from the black lagoon Nuff said

[@albertomorales9493]

Very cool. Thank you. for sharing. A +++

[@damionalbarr7961]

I saw SO MANY old school toys I loved and or had at one time or another

[@randymoses3972]

So much wonderfulness in this video! I probably would have eyed the Lone Ranger and Tonto.

[@momokadawi8955]

Sweet video but High price there .. by the way the last one Micronaute Captain Future ( on Box ) and Jumbo Goldorake from Popy Japanese model are very very rare to get it !!!

[@Bucky749]

Sanford and son is the name of store cool !! Also in case your interested in March we are doing are Shazam / Fawcett comics month and in April it’s are second annual western month we will be talking western movies , comics and manga and those odd episodes of random tv shows that do a western episode

[@loganjorgensen]

17:18 Those always drive me the most crazy watching hunt videos, just running into those new Mego TV figures usually pretty cheap, or those US Target shopper deals. I'd settle for finding a Tootie out in the wild. ^_^

[@Androo.B]

Would of loved the Gatchaman Gatchaspartan.

[@Scotty-Z70]

Goldarak (sp?) would be a nice addition to my Jumbos. I have Mazinger (2 versions=sticker chest and red-plastic V chest), Raideen (2 versions, wing shoulders and no wings ever), Gaiking, Daimos, Voltron, and Dragun.

[@dazatronsdioramallama6370]

Wow that rescue base! What a find 👏 looking forward to a future video on this

[@mczilla8628]

i remember bendy godzilla i played with so much the metal wires were coming out of him the card he was on was awesome great pickup brother

[@BrickMantooth]

thank you, I am elated.

[@Bucky749]

I’ve read a bunch of the webs comics and two of his text stories . I have a book called the web reader’s collection. The comics are all black and white but the web is the hero from mLj of read the most of .

[@VintageToyTheatre]

Not a grail but I still have the GE Batman nightlight as seen at 18:09 in the top right corner on the blue card. Got it as a kid in the late 70s and still to this day lights my way to the bathroom in the middle of the night. Quality products really can last a lifetime.

[@dwitefry4157]

Ok so: i've been lookng for the name for a set of toys i've had since I was a kid since I was a kid, this is not a joke, I'm 36 I've been trying to find out thier names on-and-off since I was about 8. And I have, thanks to this video. They're called Friction Sparkling Warriors, thank you VERY much.

[@mick_c_horror_and_pop_culture]

Awesome video. Holy grail.....that would be the Shogun Warriors or Super Powers

[@BrickMantooth]

Right on

[@mick_c_horror_and_pop_culture]

@@BrickMantooth 👊🏼

[@katenunyabizness9221]

Nice bit of Captain Simian figures! I'd have death matched you for that Zacherle record. That's an awesome Godzilla. I've not seen any Micronauts for years until last weekend, saw a boxed Battlecruiser for an insane price. That Gatchaspartan looked so crisp! Seen so many of the Blacktron Cruisers out there as it was a reimagineering for the anniversary and dropping $200 in a Lego store got you it for free. That is a sweeeeet Microman find! Congrats on it.

[@BrickMantooth]

Yeah had the action figures not been so appealing I'd have grabbed that record.

[@jonserkspawn7776]

I had all those Peter Pan GI Joe records. Great video. Some of those prices were lofty. Especially on current stuff

[@BrickMantooth]

I'm in Canada so adjust for currency.

[@andrewtaylor940]

Were there opaque Micronauts Time Travelers? I don’t remember them, and always assumed they were Takara Microman?

[@destructarr]

What are the main things on your want list?

[@garyshaller8294]

Great video! That Microman rescue base is a gem! No surprise that Grandizer was pricey. Looked like it was in good shape. The opaque Micronaut is - I believe - from the Interchangeables, but I could be wrong about that; I don’t think Mego sold the opaque Time Traveler.

[@yeffetsb]

The opaque Time Traveler is a Micronaut. The Inter-changeables versions were different colors than the Mego ones, but they were still clear. Innerspace Online has good pictures of all of them.

[@originalhaggis]

Great video! Thanks for sharing your toy hunts! Will, likely, see you on the 5th of March!

[@BrickMantooth]

Surprised I didn't see you last week.

[@originalhaggis]

@@BrickMantooth Was out of town grabbing a few cool toys! Lol

[@BrickMantooth]

@@originalhaggis good excuse.

[@chrishight6598]

The GI Joe storybooks seemed very tempting and so was the Get Smart lunchbox. Great video!!!

[@davidcrowe5524]

I found that "Story of Star Raiders" story record fascinating, I had no idea they made those for Atari games and Star Raiders was a favorite. The anime playing cards next to Oberon jumped out at me, those are all Chinese bootlegs made from Japanese trading card images and they were produced for just about every series. Hadn't seen or thought about them in ages.

[@BrickMantooth]

I seem to remember there was a Missile Command and Asterorids story book too, never heard them though.

[@chrisstone5607]

Between the dedicated vintage toy spots in Sanford and Son and Big B Comics literally around the corner it's definitely worth doing a day trip to Barrie if you are within a couple of hours drive. Both are actually walking distance from the GO station so you could even take a train

[@BrickMantooth]

Yeah I don't go to Big B but I love Sanford and Son and 400 market is sometimes fruitful.

[@chrisstone5607]

@@BrickMantooth Big B has got some sweet carded Planet Of The Apes Mego's right now. Was just there on the weekend, the new location has a pretty good vintage toy selection.

[@ScottTerryComedy]

Hi will you be at Zolocon both days?

[@matthewmullins2653]

Some of the prices are absolutely mindblowing. I imagine its not hard to have stock with those numbers :) Great video as always. We always need more Brian talking in the background hahahah

[@BrickMantooth]

Those prices are in Canadian, so it appears higher than normal.

[@NickBartolo]

The prices I could see... Oof.

[@sxhbk]

You did not buy Fabulous Fred?

[@penbucket]

Absolutely NOTHING even close to stores like this anywhere near me.
