Toy-Ventures- Evil Cowboys by Zodiac Toys

[@ChapMeifan]

This is what I love about your channel. Just when I think there are no new action figure lines that I have heard about you show some gold like this. I've never heard of these and would have begged my parents for these as a kid. Just awesome!!!

[@stepchildofsoul]

Those look like something I drew in middle school.

[@BrickMantooth]

Heh, yeah we share that.

[@brianartillery]

Good luck with your search! I live in the UK, and I have never heard of, let alone seen these figures. If they had been available in the 1970's, it's the sort of thing my brother and I would have had. Within walking distance of my house, there were three different newsagents, each of which got in, and sold lots of different odd toys - I picked up the only ever Mego Action Jackson figure I ever saw from one of them. I guarantee that at least one shop would have had these - no internet in the 1970's, but there was a 'kids' telegraph', where if there was a new, cool toy about, most kids in the area would know where to get it from within a few days.

I can only slightly remember the things I remember seeing on store shelves but when I've seen the books showing like action figures and other things sold from the 60's on they seemed to be missing on things I know I saw more than what they have in those books. One of the Tomart ones they skipped the Fighting Furies for example.

Wow, lol!!! Weirder and weirder crap!!!!😂😂😂 Well it certainly is different. Not my cup of tea but I do love learning about lines and companies I have never knew about. You have a very extensive knowledge of different toys. Thanks for sharing.😁👍 Bill

Sold in the UK in Zodiac shops there was also Evil Commandos

[@BrickMantooth]

Ah Commandos, that's what they were called! Thank you I wrongly assumed it was "Evil Soldiers".

[@mattherbert2213]

This shit is insane! Never saw these but yes, would’ve been fiending for them as a kid.

[@jboypacman]

Very cool! Something I haven’t seen before

[@OldGuysWhoLikeOldComics]

Nice. Never seen these before, but I dig the designs. I would have been all about them as a kid.

[@carlosescobar6973]

Wonderfull!!!

[@jamespero6803]

Awesome, i love learning about all these odd tpy line i never knew existed or had forgot about

[@briangreen7430]

Love your channel

[@BrickMantooth]

thank you!

[@loganjorgensen]

Pretty cool, like Skeletor's older relatives lol. These appeal to me but I liked the House movies from the 80s that also had a zombie solider and cowboy.

[@justanotherghost62]

So cool.I hope someone might dig up one and help you expand the family.

[@cheayunju]

Yeah those are totally obscure. Hear hear! More weird crap!

[@genesanford9412]

You just got me hooked ! (your lucky my broke ass couldnt afford the ad,s ,let alone the figs.WAY cool , & weird as hell.Cool !

[@justinharmon6770]

Looks like a misfit skull

[@RaymondCastile]

I’m surprised to hear these are from the 70s. I assumed they were 80s or even early 90s, when all those other knockoff skeleton toys were being produced. The bodies seem more in line with the 80s aesthetic than the Mego-style body I would have expected from a 70s toy.

[@ryanbarker5217]

@@Make_Ukraine_Russia_Again anything skeleton in the 70's i would have snapped up had i seen it. you just didn't find that kind of stuff back in the day in the mainstream.

[@jokerproduction5135]

I love the odd rare toy videos I remember buying action jackson action. Figure from the local drug store in the mid eighties must of been NOS ?? The rack toys at the drug store were hit or miss I remember a crawling soldier made from plastic that was modeled after a tin toy I think This store also had 45s of Star Trek stories and eight tracks as well as old lps and this was a modern store

[@jokerproduction5135]

That’s a cool story I remember different odd stores that would have toys you would never see elsewhere service merchandise comes to mind An independent store in a local town can’t even remember its name had a coupe of neat plastic batter operated toys one was a guy selling. 🥥 coconuts under a tree ??? And the other was a guy driving a hot dog truck that would say 🌭 hot dogs 🌭 hotdogs and move a few feet and repeat lol

[@jokerproduction5135]

10 to 15 years That is good to know that explains why I was seeing 8 tracks 45s lps and mego figures from the 70s in the mid to late 80s I remember some off brand masters of the universe figures as well

[@jokerproduction5135]

Ryan B In a local town a mom and pop Hardwere store had shit in the basement from as far back as the 50 prob lol and I remember an other store when I was a kid in the mis to late 80s that had a start up kit for an u controlled airplane ✈️. Cox brand if I remember correctly prob from the late 60s early 70s well anyways it was so old the battery pack was corroded so bad the acid was eating the metal shelf it was on and yeah it was for sale not in a storage room I do miss those old stores that every small town had

[@BrickMantooth]

In the 1980s, I was scouring those "Mom and Pop" stores and found Captain Action, GI Joe, Mego and Matt Mason stuff every weekend.

[@jokerproduction5135]

Brick Mantooth I found a matt mason back pack in a bag of joe uniforms never new about that toy line before then. I love finding odd toy lines that I’ve never heard of Go plaid stallions

[@Ektalon]

Why black bodies? Wouldn’t white (like on the card) be the obvious choice? And: Why a snap closure on the soldier?

[@ryanbarker5217]

black because they're eve-eel? or maybe they just had more black pellets laying around. :)

[@Ektalon]

ryan barker Shhhh! It’sa trade secret!
