Vintage Toy Trades Showdown! Funko Pops Fall and Bootleg Sectaurs Rise! | Toy Federation
🚀 Welcome to Toy Federation, the ultimate destination for vintage toy enthusiasts! In this exciting episode, two passionate collectors go head-to-head in a thrilling toy trade-off. Get ready for a rollercoaster of nostalgia as the first collector, armed with a bin full of Funko Pops, steps into the Toy Federation arena.
🔍 Collector #1:
Meet our first enthusiast who's looking to part ways with his Funko Pop collection. However, Ryan, our seasoned toy connoisseur, isn't as thrilled about the Pop craze as he once was. Watch as he explains the decline of Funko Pops in the market and makes a bold decision to offer a low trade value.
But that's not all! Our collector also unveils a treasure trove of other vintage gems, including rare bootleg Sectaurs, Chuck Norris action figures, Galactic Heroes, Marvel action figures, and classic GoBots. The stakes are high, and he's on the lookout for cold hard cash and a chance to snag some iconic Masters of the Universe toys, especially the legendary Castle Grayskull!
👥 Collector #2:
In a surprising turn of events, our second enthusiast arrives with a collection of GI Joes that, despite their iconic status, aren't commanding the high prices typically associated with vintage toys. Join us as Ryan assesses the situation, navigating the challenges of finding value in unexpected places.
💼 Alongside the less-than-valuable GI Joes, our collector unveils a mix of action figures, vehicles, and accessories from the GI Joe universe. While the monetary value may not be soaring, the sentimental value is undoubtedly present. Will our collector manage to strike a deal that goes beyond the price tag?
🎉 Brace yourselves for an epic finale as Toy Federation wraps up this vintage toy trades showdown with a bang! Join us as Ryan unveils an exciting shipment of the all-new Cosmic Legions action figures from the legendary Four Horsemen, featuring the Retailer Incentive Glow-In-The-Dark Headless Horseman from the coveted Mythic Legions line!
🌌 Collector's Dream:
Get ready to witness the awe-inspiring moment when our seasoned collector, Ryan, eagerly opens a box filled with the latest treasures in the toy collecting universe. The Cosmic Legions action figures bring a fresh wave of excitement, showcasing the craftsmanship and creativity of the Four Horsemen.
💫 Mythic Legions Glow-In-The-Dark Headless Horseman:
Prepare to be enchanted as we explore the special Retailer Incentive Glow-In-The-Dark Headless Horseman figure from the Mythic Legions line. This rare gem adds a mystical touch to the Cosmic Legions collection and is sure to leave collectors and enthusiasts alike in awe.

The Gobots were cool to see. I had a few as a kid. But SOUNDWAVE…. I’m on a quest for that one also.

This is the modern and fun Antiques Roadshow… I am HOOKED 🤓 Keep up the great work!

[@toyfederation]

Thanks! Will do!

[@MH-br3th]

I think Pops are getting to the point of being unsellable and I'm surprised you guys even made an offer on them. The problem is that too many people just bought them, left them in the box, and stored them hoping to resell for future profit. So now a good condition one isn't special and people who collected them know they're going to get washed on the investment so they want to get rid of them. Then you have to consider how much space they're taking up along with the complete lack of demand. I don't think anybody ever really wanted them for any reason other than speculating that others would. There's no nostalgia to them because nobody played with them as a kid. It's just generic merch that got molded into whatever IP they got a license for.

[@Nosfeast]

They will never be unsellable there are pops still worth thousands and always will be

[@underwaterlevelz1947]

Agree 100%, and Funko Pops got a license for EVERYTHING so they cranked out and produced a pop for just about everything. There might be a handful of pops that have a high value, but most of them will never see a significant increase in value. The cherry on top, in my opinion, is that they are ugly. Aesthetically, I just think pops are boring and generic looking.

[@Nosfeast]

@@underwaterlevelz1947 The ones that have certified autographs will always command a high price.Same with the very rare vaulted ones.The everyday common bs is just that common but there are A LOT more then you think that are high value.

[@chexnfx7161]

They did do this in 2023. Supposedly $35M of inventory thrown out.

[@protossevolution3361]

@@underwaterlevelz1947 I never understood why people would buy Funko Pops. Totally agreed, they are visually boring, there's nothing going on on them.

[@joseortega7815]

I really appreciated how you guys talked about bootleg figures. My family came from Mexico, so we had little money for non-essentials when I was growing up. But when we would go to the San Fernando swap meet, that's where I would ask my grandparents to buy me figures. Lol Bootleg Power Rangers, Dragon Ball, wrestlers, Robocop, Godzilla, you name it. That's my earliest memory of having action figures. So, again, I really appreciate you guys giving bootlegs their flowers.

[@Chalor.]

That's a really sweet story. Glad you got some joy from the video.

[@daveribbons3050]

Mexican Lili leddy is highly collectible.

[@mjmartinejohn]

The downfall of Funko. I'd watch that documentary.

[@GodWeenSatan]

I would laugh the whole way. I couldn't stand them, they are ugly!

[@hitman-ls1lo]

They should follow the way of Nintendo and dig a big hole and dump the inventory

[@Razaprime]

I find these videos really calming. It’s class to see toys, especially from my childhood and all the collections. I was a big G.I. Joe fan, I cried when I lost my Gung-Ho figure bringing him into the last day of school.

[@chexnfx7161]

Gung-Ho is a hilarious name for a character 😂

[@protossevolution3361]

In my school (I'm from Brazil), we were allowed to bring toys in the fridays. My parents didn't have much money, but they managed to buy me a Panthro. But we're allowed to play with the toys only in the break for lunch. Teacher saw me messing with the toy during the class, and took the Panthro from me! Long story short, someone stole my action figure from the teacher locker, and the figure was new, I had got it one week prior to that day. To this day, I feel robbed and dissapointed. Teacher or the school never gave anything back for loosing my action figure!

[@thewalruswasjason101]

Funko are the new beanie babies

[@GodWeenSatan]

I was saying that since they came out

[@michaelrichardson9545]

“Feddy popper” hilarious

[@henceforthbass]

Like when I was little, I get up early every Saturday morning ready to see what nostalgia came into the store this week, and instead of a bowl of Frosted Flakes in front of me it’s now a cup of coffee. Love you guys and thank you for letting our inner kids shine!

[@toyfederation]

That's awesome!

[@indigomontoya22]

Whenever I watch these, I always feel like you are having to come up with a fair price for their toys and not hurt feelings too since the toys do have some sentimental value. A very fine line.

[@toyfederation]

It is!

[@lydellletandre2495]

Every time I watch an episode it takes me back. Much love from CANADA 🇨🇦.

[@toyfederation]

Thank you !

Totally forgot chuck norris had a toy line lol

[@FrenchcheeseGaming]

As a Mainer and toy lover all I can say is I appreciate the Portland seadogs hat!!

[@JBsToysHobbies]

Love this store! I've picked up several items over the last few months since discovering Toy Federation with my son and it's become a once a month visit for us. Looking forward to visiting The Retro Toy Con next week as well. Plan on doing some filming of our toy hunting while we are there for our channel too. See you guys again soon!

I found this channel thanks to the algorithm and I get nostalgic watching what goes through their shop. I did have some old LJN D&D figures that they bought from me and was very happy dealing with them. I was offered more than my asking, which is always a nice surprise. I wouldn't hesitate to deal with these guys again. Keep up the great content.

You guys are great, all very natural on camera, feels like I'm actually in the store for these transactions!

[@GlitterAndSun]

People that collect funko pops always say they arent gonna be the next beanie babies while everyone that doesnt like them has seen it coming lol

[@chexnfx7161]

Yeah, they’re terrible. 80% of people keep them sealed. There’s no scarcity at all,

[@eighto220_fps]

I just found one of the Pizza Hut X-men kids menus from childhood when going through some old memory boxes my mom packed away. Pretty cool to see your recreation of those prints 😁

The 1st customer had a better deal and more interesting lot.

[@astrogumbie2399]

@@admiralarroyo777 Honestly how do you know you don't get to see them like other videos were he gets good shots of I would say every toy but its not. Again not saying anything bad about the channel at all just saying some Episodes are just filmed way better than others it seems

[@astrogumbie2399]

Best piece was the Reversed bottom Joe we didn't really get to see the rest of the toys got to see bags of toys but not the toys themselves yes was a few but again other videos you did a way better job filming just my opinion and not trying to be negative.

[@donnied74]

First guy had stuff that was more rare too bad no accessories gi joe is less rare especially the new stuff and there is alot of it especially if you count the black major stuff

If u know then u know, meaning if u grew up playing with all of these then they allll win to be real, loving for our past to be wakened up over n over with these amazing videos gets us all up n jumping for joy...so everybody wins n had the best evenly

[@retrolifestyle2542]

We all literally thank u for the awesome adventures that come through n sell u their journey through life n then u give us a HUGE smile on our faces as fellow collectors....keep up the amazing videos on going with dope content that we pay attention n especially if there's those who r young n never saw any of this in the past n future videos to come💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾...the little kid in us all goes crazy

Come to the show and find out… 🫣

I know those 2 figures you showed with the gold chest armor, but didn't know what they were. They used those bodies on some Power Rangers bootlegs. That body with a rubber head mold of the 8" Bandai figures. Also, thanks for the memory unlock on the Roboforce figures. I forgot about that toy line. I used that giant walking thing as an AT-AT for my SW figs.

[@leighdurrant9116]

Cliffhanger ending !!

Is it?

[@luke7834]

Travis will buy that awesome Horseman, we all know it.

[@toyfederation]

You think so?

[@KEEPINGitREAL213]

Hopefully some day, I can swing through and buy some S##T! My collection focus consist mainly of 1/6 scale figures and GIJoe Classified. But I guarantee... That there's something in there that would cause me to empty my pockets! I'm 49. And the 80s toys are great for bringing back the nostalgia. But I can't bring myself to start collecting vintage figures. Because they look so horrible, compared to what's available today. Thanks for another great video visit!

Im not surprised with funko, alot of people are getting out, the value is just not there. MAYBE THE 2011 TO 2013 that were very limited. But overall they became a fad. Unlike real toys that even after 30 to 40 collectors still want and enjoy, your store proves that.

You gotta come to the store for that!

[@ScreamingSoup]

I see that child who lay upon her bosom and who bore my name, a man winning his way up in that path of life which once was mine. I see him winning it so well, that my name is made illustrious there by the light of his. I see the blots I threw upon it, faded away. I see him, foremost of just judges and honoured men, bringing a boy of my name, with a forehead that I know and golden hair, to this place - then fair to look upon, with not a trace of this day's disfigurement - and I hear him tell the child my story, with a tender and a faltering voice. It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to, than I have ever known.

[@toyfederation]

Pardon?

[@filetmignon4446]

Sold my funkos to a guy who sells on what not. I had reservations after I sold em but I now realize I made the right move. Got out of funkos all together for good. But the strange thing is everytjme I'm out and see em in the store it's like I have a impulse to buy them. But I refrain. It was a good thing. They just over saturated themselves. Got greedy
