Toy Hunting at Retro Toy Fairs Taunton May 26th 2024 - Toy Polloi

[@Unicornjellyfish1]

It’s always nice to take a break from the terrible things in the news and watch a Toy Polloi video. My favorite.

[@toypolloi]

Thanks. Toys are a great way to escape I find.

[@AlanVByrnes]

More excellent finds for the collection too most definitely 🙌🙌🙌

[@jeff72_]

Brilliant stuff Dave and cool pickups too!

[@Brian.Weimer]

Great video!! I live in Birmingham (Alabama, not England) and usually have to go to Atlanta for toy shows and so on. With that being said, I'm living vicariously through you in this video as well as your Tokyo visit. Love it!

[@toypolloi]

Thanks.

[@TheRetroTinker]

Some excellent pickups there!

[@maanjezus8622]

Love that Barry Gibb... errr.... Swordsman figure.

[@robertobassetto885]

Custom project for the swordsman figure: Beach lounger, a towel, sunglasses, and possibly a Margarita. Title: "Man, this is way better than getting shot by an american archaeologist !!"

[@briansadler7270]

Another awesome video Dave. I really enjoy these toy fair videos. I keep hoping to catch one close to home. So I can see what hidden gems I might find out in the wild myself.

[@ReynoldsReviews]

Great pick ups Dave, especially that transformers shield, and always nice to see some vintage fett and centurions goodness, I shall watch with great interest the doc terror project 👍

[@toypolloi]

Thanks Luke. It was a fun toy fair.

[@mx472000]

Great finds, Dave.

[@AlanVByrnes]

Appreciate you showing and sharing another toy event in the UK I really want to go to these too 😃👍

[@toypolloi]

Any time!

[@y2bogus]

Can't wait to see what you do with Doc Terror

[@treasuresfortrigger915]

Very cool Dave, wow a Centurions figure! I’m jealous, you don’t see them to much around these parts 😅Looks like a lot of fun projects coming up

[@toypolloi]

They are often pricey here. Last one I found was in a charity shop. Even that was pretty top end in price.

[@MiKeMiDNiTe-77]

Love your channel ❤️

[@toypolloi]

Thanks!!

[@MichelFouto]

Awesome

[@mparkes1821]

I just about remember this costume, can’t recall if that piece was an arm shield or the front or back plate of child’s body armour, pretty sure there was a similar red piece that was the front, this was the rear and there was a mask too, not sure about a gun or that could have been seperate

[@Androo.B]

At the end I was half expecting you to produce that other large play-mobile figure.

[@toypolloi]

I did see someone walking away with that. And one is really all I have space for here.

[@justinforrest1613]

I open plenty of sealed vintage toys. Its mine to enjoy and the alternative to loose complete.

[@toypolloi]

Exactly!

[@Tim-57]

Nice pickups Dave. Take care 😊

[@eltenda]

A few good finds... Man!

[@mumfnah]

Deceptopack, from 1985, came with that shield and also breastplate, helmet, belt, wriat bands, amd battery operated laser weapon. The sheild would make a nice wall hang though

[@yunoyuluvit]

The plastic tabs, attached to the shield, allowed you to bundle it all up into a backpack.

[@toypolloi]

Thanks for the info. I will have to check that out.

[@toypolloi]

Oh, cool!

[@Joshua_arthur]

Was a good show this weekend lots of good bits on offer , I didn’t see you there tho but glad you had a good day 👍

[@toypolloi]

I thought it was a fun show. Always things to be found. And I love a good rummage.

[@nerdcraftercoley7305]

Decepto pack 1985 had a mask and body armor some kind of wrist things a belt and I believe a gun like weapon.

[@toypolloi]

Thanks.

[@andrewwebb4919]

05:41 I thought that was a Barry Gibb figure!

[@MikeJenner-Jones]

The music is very much similar to Gravity Falls and Stranger Things all in one. Add a bit of Star VS the Forces of Evil with a few bitesize pieces of music from a John Carpenter film and there we go!

[@rituritutube]

👍🏻 I'll do my best on KZbin, which I just started.

[@TheSimTetuChannel]

And I thought it smelled bad...from the outside!

[@vengeance1701]

I might have asked that one dude for that Transformers: Animated tablecloth!

[@toypolloi]

It did look lovely. I asked one seller if they'd sell me a MOTU pillowcase they were using. They would, but only at a high price so I left it.

[@vengeance1701]

@@toypolloi Nice on the find. Shame it was too expensive, though.

[@yunoyuluvit]

Have you ever been tempted to go the the toy fair at the NEC? It's huge!

[@toypolloi]

I have. Maybe one day.

[@leecousins4475]

I went with my daughter too I didn't pick anything up that i liked

[@toypolloi]

That's a shame.

[@leecousins4475]

We still enjoyed ourselves tho looking at all the retro toys

[@bootleggodzilla1]

Weird that it's a deception shield but the bot on it looks like the animated version of windcharger or brawn

[@toypolloi]

I thought it was Megatron, but now you mention it 🤔

[@bootleggodzilla1]

@@toypolloi it's sorta Megatron too but I think it's more of just a catch all generic robot

[@toypolloi]

Generic Catch all Robot. One of the lesser known Transformers!
