TOY HUNTING with Pixel Dan - Devall is Selling His Collection!

[@Pixel-dan]

Special thanks to Mythic Legions Tactics for sponsoring this episode www.mythiclegionsgames.com I think the thought of selling and getting out of collecting is one that has crossed all of our minds, so I find this a fascinating topic to discuss. I hope you guys enjoy this one!

[@huntercatalcazar3728]

Please keep us post it about when exactly will be the auction before it happens. Certainly it's very interesting collection. Thanks man for the video and great finds You got in the end. 👍

[@huntercatalcazar3728]

Regarding to sell a collection. Well, let's never loose grip and levitate and keep our feet on the ground, collection is just a hobby, but there are things more important and require priority in our lives. One person grew not collecting then decided to collect and evalueted again and decided to sell. He or She still the same person from the beginning but with more experience, knowledge, memories and wisdom.

[@ackleemaali3028]

I really want a he man collection

[@ackleemaali3028]

But we're can I get one

[@kerry1979]

Not me I would sell over my dead body. They mean more to me then you would ever know I rather kill my self first then give up Collecting toys..Plus I am a signle guy with special needs Only Joy I have in my life I can't drive or have a family take a way that & I have no reason to live.

[@ShermerHighSchool]

When the stuff you own starts to own you, that's when you need to start thinking about trimming down. I sure went through the same process, still am, and Jason is right, at some point, it's more about the experiences than stuff. For me, I realized I had way more fun watching old cartoons than collecting lots of their toys. I don't obsess anymore about missing a toy, chasing this or that one, or stressing about them breaking, etc. We'll always have toys, just less, but the ones we'll keep will be really special to our hearts. Great video!

[@sdaeley17]

This was such a great video, for so many reasons. 1) The reminder that it's OK TO STOP! 2) The support of Jason's friends, family, and even the comment section with this difficult choice 3) Jason's amazing collection! I had to watch this a couple times before I noticed the She-Ra and BraveStarr animation cels, and the awesome Gargoyles collection! Thank you so much for making this important video, Dan, and best of luck in your next ventures, Jason!

[@michaelj2276]

As I said on Twitter: This is a really important topic and something I've had to wrestle with myself due to long-standing health concerns. I really appreciate you documenting this small piece of Jason's journey; best of luck to him, and thank you, Dan! 🥰

[@chevy-is-a-good-boy]

"If buying everything makes you happy, then go for it" Yeah, sure; but keep in mind you'll eventually be overwhelmed & stricken with anxiety 😅 Just looking at Devall's collection gave me anxiety. I'll be redoubling my efforts to maintain a smaller collection, this was stressful to even just see in a video - good move Devall.

[@mr.smithgnrsmith7808]

Why? Looking at his collection gives me peace

[@TalkActionFigures]

Great video on a topic we’ve all wrestled with! I’ve sold whole collections so many times over the years. Some I still regret, some I regretted so much I bought them all over again, and then others I don’t miss or even think about until I see them pop up in a toy video and think, “oh that’s cool I remember having those.” I totally agree you have to do what makes you happy, and like you said, just think it over and make sure you won’t have regrets. I know from experience how dumb it can feel buying something back for way more money just because you completely regret selling it in the first place. 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@alexcourtney9053]

I have a tiny, TINY fraction of this collection and I'm always debating getting rid of stuff so I can certainly relate to the anxiety. A lot of mine is in storage tubs, only occasionally getting seen or rotated into the display so at a certain point it's like, why am I buying more stuff essentially to store in a closet? I also feel like sometimes having a large collection maybe detracts from being able to focus on the more meaningful pieces. If I set out 40 Marvel Toy Biz, am I going to be able to focus on the childhood Iron Man figure I remember getting with my parents or am I going to just see a wall of figures? Anyway, great video! Really enjoyed it.

[@Knightmare10880]

Alex, I know exactly how you feel as I have been debating that alot lately so many toys that are coming out but I only have so much room. And how many of them do I actually need. How many of them actually matter to me in the long run. It was so much easier when I was in my mid/late 20's then it is now in my early 40's.

[@NA-bk6gb]

I relate to this, greatly. So much so, that I literally started to part with a lot of my collection this past week. I have found the things I enjoy the most are the pieces I have direct connection to or memories. What’s the point of having a super rare toy if it just sits stored away? Or to keep it only becasue it’s rare. Doesn’t make sense to me or for me anymore. It’s cool to surround myself with the things I love, and I enjoy it. But it eventually becomes too much. And purging actually feels great…and helps the wallet and bank balance 😆

[@davecardoza4762]

I have felt the same way & I, by no means, have the amount of vintage stuff that these folks have, but I have been thinking of getting rid of my MOTU collection and just staying with my Gi.Joes. Then I say to myself... "Are you nuts?"

[@paulp6672]

Toy Galaxy did a great video on why Dan sold (most of) his collection; sell the collection to save the collection.

[@SeansModelBuilds]

That is why when my parents gave me all my old toys 8 years ago, I only kept what meant the most to me: MOTU, Air Raiders, Construx, Visionaries, and Hot Wheels. It mostly all fits in two large boxes, but now I have started collecting some MOTU Origins figures.

[@Grindhead_Jim]

The Struggle. This is why I try to stay laser-focused on what I REALLY want, versus "nice to have". It's a difficult line to tow.

[@poweroftoys9649]

The struggle is real.

[@LWalsh0]

That guy is just such a “real” dude. Always loved listening to his podcasts and his thoughts. Got me through ALOT of crappy work hours. I am right now dealing with the same thing mentally. About to give it all up. What’s it all for? My mind won’t let me have just one or 2 of anything. I need to get it all when I “get in”. Best of luck man. And thanks for all you did!

[@MrRyanClarkToys]

It's great that you guys are talking about the mental health side of toy collecting! I've been thinking about my collection and how it affects my anxiety, and I had a lot of the same conversations, both internally and with my wife. Being more selective or smarter with my purchases (especially with rising retail prices) has helped. Taking the time to go through the collection and sell off the pieces that no longer bring the same joy will also do wonders for your mental health. I also created a catalog of my collection for my wife/family, so that if something happens to me there is a resource there for them to be able to sell it. These are great conversations to have in our community!

[@briguy_3840]

I recently decided to drastically scale back my comic book collecting (I’ve recently got into collecting three action figure lines). I think habit is such a huge part of a collecting mindset. My buying habits were not bringing me joy anymore. I realized that less is more when it comes to collecting sometimes. Trying to get everything can be exhausting and you don’t really get a chance to enjoy what you get when the next new thing comes right after that. Focus in a collection can be meditative.

[@SeansModelBuilds]

I did the same with a lot of my new carded Hot Wheels. So now I just focus on loose 1980s, Redlines and 50 year sets.

[@TheRealOzMuerte]

Wow... I forgot how much I loved those Saturday mornings with TNTS & PCN and watching you guys together... got serious nostalgia tingles watching this. I really miss those days 😥

[@Jeflexful]

Oh man. I love the conversation between you and Deval at the beginning of the video because I can really relate to what was being discussed there. Particularly on the point of making that decision to let go of your stuff and later regret it. The painful part is after youve sold it, now you want it more than ever! I remember this from one of the episodes of ' Figure it out' on the WWE channel featuring Zack Ryder ( Matt Cardona) and Curt Hawkins ( Brian Myers) where Matt said he once bought a SDCC Ninja Turtles exclusive and then sold it off to only buy another one much later because of how much he regretted his previous decision that he made. PS: It's a relief to hear that we still get to see more Jason Devall in Dan's future toy hunting videos. One thing I forgot to mention earlier was how much I enjoyed your two working together in your early days of youtubing , making toy shows such as 'That New Toy Smell' which I think till this day is one of the greatest and the most informative toy news shows in KZbin toy show history. That's how much I appreciate and feel for the show. All these years I was hoping to get a glimpse of Jason in Dan's videos after their work in That New Toy Smell ended.

[@legoroy71002]

This collection is so cool! So many random license toys and oddities, it's really awesome to see a random series completed like Robocop and the Mask.

[@vintosvault]

This was such a wonderful thing to watch and if it helps Devall’s mental health then that’s the best thing for him. First time I’ve seen him for ages and before his birthday too. Wish him nothing but the best!!

[@ToyWorldOrder]

Thanks my friend! Much love sir!

[@lanzotv]

Thanks for making this video. There’s levels to toy collecting and this is one of them. Things can always be replaced…

[@boeingnz]

I was going to skip some parts but I watched the whole thing and enjoy every minute of it!! I would keep all the complete line sets. Such dedication and effort. Museum worthy collection to say the least.

[@vidtracey]

To think it was these two that got me back into toy collecting with that new toy smell so many years ago

[@Knightfall3000]

Pixel Dan: I don’t want to burden my wife with all my stuff so I’m going to downgrade my collection. (2 hours later drives away with five big rubbermaid bins full of Devall’s toy collection

[@ToyWorldOrder]

This scenario DID indeed come up, lol!

[@thatmanoverthere608]

🤣🤣🤣

[@ghostbustersquickresponseu5159]

The end of an era. I am happy for Devall moving on to what makes him happy. Still a bit of me is like "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!".

[@NoTeCopiesPai]

Great video. Congrats to Devall for making a stuff decision. I’m 42 and I’m also reflecting on my collection.

[@CarmP]

Thank you so much for sharing! What a beautiful and varied collection. I can’t tell you how much joy sharing this collection brings to a kid who always dreamed of touching these toys. I love how you have kept your imagination and child in good health. I wish you luck on your next adventure! Thank you.

[@meowth49]

Years ago I gave Devall that Pigs in Space playset! Glad to see it treasured ☺️

[@ToyTalkGuys]

This was awesome! I’ve been having some very similar feelings like Jason has concerning collecting. I’ve realized I don’t need it all and I’d like to only focus on specific properties. Very reassuring and eye opening! I hope it’s true that Devall isn’t done with the hunt though since he always has a good energy about him in your videos. Great upload, Dan!

[@bashcrash9148]

My collection is always evolving and changing. I’ve gone through periods where I’ve had a ton of stuff, a little bit of stuff and literally nothing. I have a severe lack of space for collections so a lot of it comes and goes.

[@juliusmaloney]

I have to admit before I saw the collection I wondered how you could part with it. Then I saw the volume & breadth of what’s been collected and understood where Devall was coming from. I have to say over the years I’ve always purged & edited what I own and having just moved states there was stuff I gave away & even more stuff that has gone since I arrived. I really do feel that I’ve brought the collection down to only the things I love. I understand completely where Devall is coming from and when he has it down to what he loves most, I bet he’ll feel the weight of the anxiety lift from his shoulders. 🙏🏼

[@TheSalemCrow]

This was such a trip down memory lane. I saw so many lines I had parts of as a child that I had no clue about (I loved cool action figures, and still do, no matter the property). I had that Power Lords great creature vehicle. I remember it because the front leg/wheel assembly broke off of the one my brother and I had. I also remember the Potato Head Kids, so you aren't the only one. I have done occasional pruning of my collection over the years, as my tastes change or I shift focus. Otherwise most of it ends up in a storage unit (which is currently the case due to housing situation).

[@evanmusu4613]

I think he should at least document his entire collection through photos. Truly impressive.

[@ToyWorldOrder]

I have documented it several times with full video walk-through's over on the ToyWorldOrder KZbin page. :)

[@codysvideochannel]

This video really hit home. I’m really glad that The Muppets collection is being kept! It’s an amazing collection.

[@nicholassilva3028]

THAT NEW TOY SMELL FOR LIFE!!!!! Been watching you guys for years. Best of luck for the future.

[@Mda878]

This video cost me like $400 I bought rocklords, a teddy ruxpin, inhumanoids, cops, etc

[@jonalexander9312]

It still baffles me that the Toxic Avenger became a children's tv show and full toy line.

[@dreamonix]

This kind of shows how at some point collecting turns into hoarding. I totally get the collecting bug, but it does get to the point where you step back and see the value of a new car or house deposit, just sitting on a shelf collecting dust.

[@Dusty_B]

For me it always felt the hardest to let that first thing go. Once it went though there was a sense of relief and now I'm okay with letting stuff go aside from a few things I'm definitely not getting rid of any time soon.

[@Portal2099]

This is great seeing you guys together. I feel like I need to do this myself. I want to sell off the stuff that came in lots where I got items I wanted, but a bunch of extra stuff. It makes it a horde really quick. Good luck on the sale/whittling down of your collection, Devall!

[@scruffynerd84]

I wonder if a group of collectors would maybe invest in building a museum of toys with all there collections on display. Steven Sansweet did it with his star wars collection maybe that would be the future of your collection. Just food for thought.

[@davidmurdock6098]

I've been - and still am - going through this exact same process... right down to if something happened to me, my wife would have to deal with it all! I feel more free and focused... and I have way more space and money which I can use to buy the stuff I'm more focused on and other things. Afterthought: Since watching this video I'm actually thinking about thinning my collection out further and narrowing my focus... 🤔🤔🤔

[@ModernVintageTV0]

Just needed to say that you guys are awesome. I enjoy your current and archived stuff every chance I get. I just love it. I plan on Binge-Watching Board soon. I'm really gonna miss Jason,but I fully support his decision and wish him great success in his future endeavers. As for you,Dan,Keep doin' what you do best. Cuz we all Love you for it.

[@nathan_the_barbarian7974]

Reasons like this is why I’m just strictly a MOTU, Mythic Legions, and some pro wrestling or other random barbarian like figures. I’m already putting a halt to buying anymore origins figures but I already have the ones I want anyway. Still though I’m close to selling off some of my overflow while I just try to keep my collection down to one shelf being MOTU and Mythic Legions and the other being my wrestling and miscellaneous figures.

[@hugeackman8182]

I’m the same way. I try to strictly collect marvel, dc, MOTU and Spawn. The only exceptions I make are figures that really stand out or good quality vintage stuff

[@cookiemonster8224]

I had similar thoughts and actually downsized my collection. Even though I didn’t collect vintage toys I did collect Hot Toys. Those suckers are super expensive and super addicting. Especially being married I didn’t want to burden my supportive wife with so much stuff so I have 1 display cabinet that I keep a small collection of marvel hot toys in and this month for my birthday I’m buying the hot toys hulkbuster for on top of my cabinet and probably rest from collecting hot toys.

[@rockopera13]

Great see they together!!! Cheers from Colombia!

[@Owazrim]

What a sweet collection. When it comes time to sell it is always nice when you can hand it off to someone you know will appreciate it. It was great to see some of the Arco Other World figures. It is the first toys line that I have memories of.

[@wildsmiley]

I love his Bumblebee shirt with ‘84 on it. I’ve seen ones just like that but with Optimus Prime on them. Very cool. Now if only someone would make a shirt just like that but with my favorite Transformer, Grimlock on it and with the year ‘85 instead of ‘84. Then my life would be complete.

[@THE-SHOCKMASTER]

I am blown away by those The Mask movie figures on the back 🥶🥶 i would love to have those. Anything related to Jim Carrey.

[@Jeffistopheles]

This is where I'm at. I have a sizeable amount of stuff, not nearly this much, but I have a lot. Most of which just sits in boxes in storage. I feel like others could enjoy it more and I would rather start a new collecting habit. Collecting some money haha. Good luck to Jason on the sale!

[@domingorubies656]

This happens to most of us collectors/toy hunters. First you get a massive high getting everything you remember from your childhood, then you focus on a few favorite lines and eventually you get a period where you barely get new stuff and begin selling some stuff.

[@Sirkdinos]

This is dark. Its really I think an almost unconscious evolution of getting older. Like just 3 years ago we were all still totally passionate about all this, but as we get more and more and as we realize our kids ... many of them anyway, won't care about it the way we thought they would... it all just makes less sense in our lives. Its just turning into stuff... when we see it could be money used on different things. I bet anything that we are about to see mass sell-offs now.. because I'm thinking it too.

[@CMorales23]

Love all the different brand. Mantech playset and power lords playset. Been so long since I've seen them. Thanks for letting me relive my childhood seeing some of these toys

[@rolfathan]

I've put some serious thought into selling half my collection to just focus on other types of things. I can relate kinda. For years I collected to have "one of everything" one of every star wars character was even a goal of mine for years. In recent years I realized I'd much rather have one to three REALLY good articulated figures from properties I like. So instead of 100 5-point articulation figures, instead do the hand full of $60 super articulated figures. His statement about the collecting the dust also has a huge influence on me too. I hate that I have a huge collection that is literally difficult to keep dust-free because there's so much, where if I had a few VERY important items, I could much more easily clean them. Display them with cool brinted backgrounds, instead of just a shelf of many things.

[@Monsterism]

I remember when Dan and Jason did videos ages ago, so many good memories. Sad to see Jason selling his collection, I do miss the old days when Dan and Jason hang around each other more but family, time is largely a huge factor. Jason is the man though, a guy I love to meet and talk and be friends with.

[@dzkmeister]

LOVED this. So important to take a moment to reflect once in a while and concentrate on what really makes you happy!

[@marvelpg]

awesome collection. thanks for sharing on their way to their new home.

[@vengeance1701]

Those He-Man puzzles feature fantastic art by Fred Carillo.

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

so many complete lines :-) love it

[@lareh5501]

Very entertaining & insightful video. He had a lot of items I don't think I ever heard of, and some I did, but had little interest in; however (as was mentioned), alot of the stuff looks great when together. For the last couple of months, I've been getting items in beat up packaging (at discounted prices) to take out as I'm not a mint on card guy. But lower prices that allow for greater quantity can have this consequence at the end of the day. Moderation is a key component, something that we all might occassionally slip out of, but should always remember the benefit of contentment with what we've got and appreciate what matters most.

[@TheRetroWorld]

absolutely loved seeing this collection and I think selling stuff off is something all of us think about!

[@JakeMcaulay]

I did a similar thing with my video game collection and I'm better for it. I used to buy everything now I just get random things I want and ps1 stuff.

[@toyhuntershollow6049]

Exceptional collection …and so glad a piece is coming to us ;-)

[@mikecesca5187]

Great video! I went through a similar change, decided to just focus on my favorites. That would be Transformers, Aliens and Predator. Everything else in my collection I sold so that someone else could enjoy them. No more impulsive buys for me.

[@ciscodeer9094]

I collect SW figures and sometimes other figures as well, there going to come a time in my life where I probably won't want it anymore preferably (in my 60's 70's if the ultimate creator allows it 80's 90's) then i'll be a dead, rich, old fart the heck with the money just give it to the homeless.

[@jamesseitz6817]

I remember them rambo fingers they are so cool Terminator figures I had half of them and the terminator car as well

[@FandomEntanglement]

For me, it was comic book collecting. I started collecting in 1989, as I entered high school. At first it was just Batman; then Superman; then I discovered the whole DC Universe and the “crossover events”; then eventually it spread to Marvel, and so forth and so on. I was collecting so much, I seriously never even truly read most of the crap I had because I simply never had that kind of time. I would always “skim” through everything to get the gist of the story, but it became more of an obsession to have every tie-in, every important event, etc. Eventually I whittled it down to only picking up the stories I truly wanted to read, and even that began taking its toll. I must have had close to 30 long boxes full of 20+ years’ worth of comics, most of which were being stored high on a shelf in the shed where I used to live back in New York. I had contemplated selling the collection for many years, but every comic collector I would talk to would always say the same thing: they won’t be worth anything right now, wait another 20-30 years and then they’ll be worth something. But that wasn’t really a feasible option for me. Once my wife and I decided to make the move to Florida in 2019 to be closer to her family, I remember feeling huge anxiety and being overwhelmed by the amount of comics I had, and the thought of transporting all of that down here. So, minus a small number of comics I kept, I just donated the entire collection to a charitable organization, Materials for the Arts, and immediately felt a huge wave of relief. Sometimes I think about the comics I had, but it’s more of a fleeting thought. If it was important enough, I either kept it or had the trade collection. I’m glad I got rid of all of it because it was really just a huge burden that I no longer needed.

[@ToyWorldOrder]

I started as a comic book guy as well, hardcore, with the Death of Superman. I got into the same problem. I was dropping over a hundred bucks a week on comics (this is in the 90's, mind you) and was accumulating a MASSIVE stock of books. I eventually sold over 4 thousand books in 2006 for about 18 cents a book JUST to get out from under most of them.

[@joe3019772008]

neca already announced that they are working on defenders of the earth wave 2 which comes with the rest of the characters including the magician.

[@cruzmellon4943]

So nice to see the Devall collection one last time.

[@FNHot]

This was a great video. I just wish you had shown ALL of his stuff. Because I was thinking I wanted to have a collection like that, and now seeing it, I realize specializing is the way to go. I think collect what you love, but get like t-shirts or posters of the lines you love but dont have space to collect. Remember it, but dont cause yourself stress over it.

[@ToyWorldOrder]

I DO show more than Danny covered. If you go to the ToyWorldOrder youtube page you will find my Toy Walkthrough video from 2019. :)

[@charlesltk2099]

I used to have lots of Transformers figures in my collections but due to the pandemic, I was temporary outta job, so I was forced to sell them (how sad that I have to let them go, my years of hunting and collecting).. So I sold all of them except my collections of Optimus Primes and Megatrons coz these were my favorite hero and villain leaders....

[@nicholasmoose6574]

He made the right call. I would NEVER get rid of that Muppet collection.

[@hockeysquirrel9839]

Speaking of MOTU, @Pixel Dan if you didn't know, BigBadToyStore has pictures and stuff of the Mosquitor Origins Deluxe action figure and have him on pre-order. I know you wanted him from your interview with mattel so just letting you know.

[@johnjohn2570]

My current plan is get one display cabinet and that’s it for my collection. Which will probably fit everything and give me a little room to grow. Admittedly I’ve only been serious about my collection for a couple years so it’s comparatively not a lot.

[@robertmckeon297]

Wow what a unbelievable collection.

[@tallnycboy25]

There were so many lines that I spied in the corners that are rare and amazing that got no screen time. I think it’s mostly the lines like Strawberry Shortcake, My Little Pony, the Get Along Gang, Care Bears, etc. I wish we got to see more of those! But damn, amazing collection!!

[@ToyWorldOrder]

I did a walkthrough in 2019 of the collection. If you go over to the ToyWorldOrder channel you will find it. ;)

[@80sToysRoc]

Man, this video really hits home. I buy stuff that makes me happy…but that’s also means I buy a lot of stuff. We just moved and packing the collection up was a horrible experience and it’s still not unpacked (maybe 50% unpacked) I have no room in the new house. I’ve been wanting to sell as well.

[@dominionOfgloom]

Dan, great video! Agree with everything and what a treat to see a lot of these obscure lines, so much fun....BUT.....I feel like you went through every single shelf, nearly, he's got this AMAZING 80s toy collection and I saw he had a lot of ThunderCats and I saw Centurions, did he have SilverHawks too...I kept seeing the shelves above, the shelves to the sides, the shelves below but it's like you LITERALLY skipped the ThunderCats collection!!! DAN!!!! I know it was a mistake, I'm just kidding, I loved seeing everything, so much I did not even know...existed, especially the big vehicles and playsets for some of the really obscure lines. I too especially loved seeing the Filmation Ghostbusters collection and I agree that playset is all kinds of extra. Very neat video, best of luck on the auction, (still a little salty about the skipped ThunderCats ;), not really

[@dominionOfgloom]

oh I forgot, TigerSharks (LJN) - did he have any of those too?

[@DougUnfunny]

Its smart to cash out now. the bubble will burst and people of our age will die out and nobody will want are retro junk. 80s-90s era of toys and cartoons are the last days of saturday morning toons and we are all hitting 40 and 50. do we leave it to our kids who didn't grow up in our era? or just sell it for funds for our kids?

[@DRAGOINTHEHOUSE]

@Robert Anthony I agree with dough , when our generation is gone nobody is really gonna care about our g1 transformers , and if they do ,their gonna probably want the more detailed articulated stuff that's out now. As much as I hate to admitted I think it will happen.

[@xxMorgen_Ronny_Doy]

Hope Devall will still keep his Main Collections and be happy with the sold Stuff and the new get space for his Main Collections. I'm shocked he sell MOTU Stuff O.o but it is in good Hands - you got a Mosquitor Gun *GZ* Dany! Thanks for shareing

[@ToyWorldOrder]

Honestly, not a lot Action figure-wise is staying. Just some bits and pieces that mean something to me on a personal level.

[@winterthorn1]

Excellent video. Always interesting to hear about when people make this decision. But you skipped over showing the Disney Afternoon and Thundercats that we glimpsed next to some of the other things. Amazing collection though.

[@darrenj7280]

Dan, I think I saw 4 reels fall out of the view master pack. The first one landed back on the top shelf.

[@helionomicon7455]

I would have liked to see varios videos of his whole collection. Pixel Dan, please do coverage if the auction. Spectecular stuff, Devall had practically all that stuff in one place that has to do with muy collecting kosmos!

[@devinbullard7304]

Amazing collection. I would have gone for the toxic crusader collection, Earthworm Jim, and the Peter Pan cartoon collection. Thank you both for sharing!

[@stevenbrickafol3928]

Im interrested to see what will be left , and will stay displayed in Devalls home.

[@michael00700]

I collected the palisades muppets line and they are still some of the highest quality action figures I own in my collection.

[@clararose1922]

I've been collecting a long time and stuff comes and goes but I already know if I live long enough to be in a nursing home the only thing I'm bringing with me is the clock my father hand made me, it's the one thing I'm taking with me to the grave. Collecting is a fun hobby but it's good to keep things in check.

[@shinmusashi44]

Wow Devall is getting out of TWO and mostly out of toy collecting. Never thought I'd see the day..

[@impossiblepie]

Dan, this is why your book about heman and other toy collection books are so great, you can have the entire collection in the palm of your hands for a fraction of the price and not take up an entire basement.

[@sam_i_am6410]

Wow that Muppet collection is jaw droppingly awesome. Ugh. UGH!

[@keepmovin1320]

As a collector I've pondered selling my DC collection on an off over the years cause right now my focus is on collecting MOTU Origins, Revelations, Super7 ULTIMATES and a few NECA toy lines but I'm not selling my MOTU stuff EVER, too much sentimental value I'm passing that down to my family once I'm gone and they can sell it and enjoy the money

[@Brad_Bane]

So sad to see this. I’ve been with you guys since PCN. But I totally understand and have done the same thing with my collections, too. Best of luck with the sale, Devall!

[@johnathanweber4271]

I have that Capt hook armor figure deluxe mint on card

[@gilmartinez2410]

I’m hurting just thinking a collection like this is gone. My dream collection. A few pieces i would love to have

[@ToyWorldOrder]

Don't hurt my friend. Trust me, it was fun to acquire, but it is just time for it to scatter to the four winds so other collectors can enjoy it.

Yeah that collection definitely looks like it’s out of control. I think Jason just needs a reset really. Pick out five toy lines that you love the most and focus on those. I’ve got dibs on the food fighters if he has any 😅

This is too true. I've slimmed down to Transformers, Lightning Collection, funko which trimmed within to Masters of the Universe, One Piece, MHA and some random, GI Joe (Joevid got me), and then the Kamen Rider Figuarts. I may get into Ghostbusters Plasma if they do RGB and IDW ghosts in the line. As a kid I know I dabbled in many lines. Too many I think. 😅😅😅😅😅

One of the most impressive collection! But I understand what is about to do

[@TheBoglin]

AHHHHH the furry monster puppet from the "Board" show you guys used to do! What was his name, Little Devall? This year has by far been the worst ever for my little family. A car accident took me out of work for the past 7+ months and with not enough money to live on I've had to sell off a LOT of toys from my collection just to survive. I've still kept some stuff but slowly each line I owned is being liquidated to make room and keep my family fed. I think as collectors we have 3 phases of existence just like a Butterfly. Phase 1 is the 'Caterpillar Phase' where we consume as much as we can and grow and grow and grow. After that we often enter a period where we start to reevaluate how much stuff we have vs how much stuff we really want or need. That's when we enter Phase 2: the 'Pupa Phase'. After we have made all of our purges and have started to cultivate our collection down into something smaller, more manageable and more easily enjoyed, that's when we enter Phase 3: the 'Butterfly Phase' and become the better collector we really want to be. I know lots of collector friends who are still stuck in their Caterpillar Phase and that's rough because eventually you get SO big that you feel obese with stuff. I remember when you had to pack up your toy room Dan when you were moving and you documented the entire process, I know how overwhelming that feeling is. I've been dealing with that since February and I've sworn and kicked and cursed at my stuff because you get to a point where the joy from keeping it and moving it around doesn't exist anymore. You know that old saying, "You can't take it with you." well that applies to being a collector too. If you have SO MUCH stuff that in an emergency if you had to only grab 1 tote of stuff or a handful of toys, you wouldn't be able to take it all. And if that was a the case, why even have that much to begin with?

Puppet Devall is his name. And little known fact, he used to eat LEGO bricks on camera. Then we had a parent tell us her kid tried to eat LEGO's after seeing it, so now he eats cheese...lol!

[@AgungSetiawanDiekeshter]

[@bossbradley]

Amazing. This is the best video u have seen in forever. Plus thank you for talking about selling your collections. I think a lot of us struggle with that.

[@nosferatu-369]

I would have loved to have grabbed up the Fright Zone. I'm SOooo envious!💀

[@stillfirebellows]

May want to contact Retroblasting! They may need some of this to complete some of their vintage collections. N
