Shipwreck was always one of my faves. We don’t have that good of prices around me. About a year ago I picked up an original Low light with card back at a used toy shop. It didn’t have all its accessories or anything but the card back had a TG&Y price tag for 2.99. That is one of my favorite collectibles in my nerd room. Everything about it brings back so many memories of my childhood. This was fun, thanks Heath!

Dude, you need to hit Ollie's, if you have one in your area. They have all that stuff.

At one point in time, I was on a friendly basis with one of the guys at Ollie's corporate headquarters, but he stopped returning my emails a couple of years ago. Not sure what happened.

Now, you’re in the realm of the other majority of YT channels I watch. This is my collecting world now and why I don’t get more movies. I love the Origins line, but I focus on the stuff that’s not in the vintage MotU line because I have almost all of those.

I'm with you on the no room thing, Heath! It's why I don't do POPs for the most part. The clearance aisles can sometimes have some good finds though! Some people are talking about finding $5 dump bin steelbooks as well...

I always check the toy aisles in Walmart every time I go for groceries but they rarely have anything here in Canada, at least where i live. And the sales are not near close the the sales in US. What an envy lol :)

This is what we need first thing on a Saturday! Growing up, Saturday was always toy day as a kid! If I had the income and the space, I’d have a whole room of dedicated to collecting toys! Thnx Heath!

It is too bad that so many boys don't play with action figures today. I miss those cool 80s action figures and vehicle commercials with the sets they'd build.

Spawn figures were peg warmers when they first came out. They can't give them away at flea markets. What were they thinking in bringing out premium editions of them? 😂 Now I wonder if they brought back Star Trek TNG figures to keep pegs warm as well.

Cool, man. I didn’t know you collected action figures. I collect Marvel Legends here and there. I can’t pursue it as much as I’d like to though, since I gotta save my money for movies. I mostly just do a lot of window shopping like you. Great video, man!

I mostly just like to look, but MotU is one of the lines I'm pretty much ALL IN on.

I used to have an extraordinary toy collection from the 70s, 80s and 90s. Almost every toy you can imagine. My favorites were the robots Shogun Warriors and GoDaikin. Anyway in 1999 I lost my job and the corrupt Unemployment Department didn't want to give me my unemployment benefits. I ended up selling my whole collection for peanuts as toy collecting in those days was not what it is today. I lost $1,000s!😭 I was so frustrated that I said to myself I'll never collect toys again. So now I collect horror movies and videogames.😇

Seeing those classic ninja turtles figures is an insane wave of nostalgia since myself and a lot of my friends had those same characters. I wonder if they still had the same molds or if they remade them from existing figures.

You're into so many things, you ought to occasionally review comics. Seeing the "X-Men '97" inaction figures made me think of that. Like, what do you think about those Chris Claremont-authored "X-Men" comics (from 1975 to 1991) that the 1992 animated series is based on? Especially when John Byrne was the artist (issues 108-143). Did you know that Chris Claremont is a huge fan of the 1979 film "Alien"? (Read "Uncanny X-Men" #143.) Or how about those "film noir" Daredevil comics by Frank Miller from the early 1980s? Alan Moore's "Swamp Thing" ... Neil Gaiman's "Sandman" ... and many other classics. What are your favorites?

I used to talk more about comics here, but the audience I've cultivated simply doesn't watch them, and it hurts me in the algorithm (strange and mysterious all-controlling entity that it is). I do still make comics videos for Patreon and KZbin members, most recently about Robert Kirkman's Energon Universe, which is one of my favorite things right now. I appreciate the video suggestions and if I can find a way to make them work on the channel without tying an anchor to my views, I will! Until then though, I love Claremont's first X-Men run and I'm re-reading it alongisde the Krakoan era of X-Men. Claremont's love of Alien is the only explanation for The Brood, which is almost a 1:1 copy of the Xenomorphs! I read Frank Miller's Daredevil run back in the early 2000s and enjoyed it, but I don't connect much with Daredevil as a character because he spends so much time brooding and feeling guilty that it tends to make me think about my own baggage. I prefer comics that help me escape from reality, not highlight it. Alan Moore's Swamp Thing is genius. I also think Sandman is genius, but also very heavy. My favorite work from Neil Gaiman is actually a story called Stardust.

There was a local record/movie/memorabilia shop in my area a few years back that was going out of business, and they did several weekend sales over the course of like 6 months to clear out as much as stock as possible. I checked it out multiple times and the ONLY section of the store that was not steadily emptying out over this time was their wall of SPAWN action figures. They had 200+ figures (at least) when the sales started and they had probably the same number on the store's last day, despite them being marked down to like $2 a pop or whatever. Nobody wanted those things. I imagine if you marked them as "FREE" the only people who would grab them would be wannabe "hustlers" who would try to sell them on facebook marketplace (and fail) lol.

Apparently the idea was that they were tempting kids toward violence, and they also looked like demons. Pretty big stretch, if you ask me. I made a video about some of that stuff a few years back. There was a book called "Turmoil in the Toy Box" that was making the rounds in the evangelical community and millions of copies were sold. I talk more about it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r17Gh5iqlt6Mlck
