I missed out on this. He-Man came out when I was in 5th grade, and I had stopped playing with action figures. I still watched the cartoon, but I was all about sports and video games. I didn't go back to action figures until I was in my 20's. 😂 (and it's mainly been with Spider-Man figures).

I just found a good handful of the bad guys today at a flea market $1 each and a broken footed bronze dragon, absolutely amazing toys.

Excellent video! Took me way back with some very happy memories 😊

Im glad that the satanic panic is over. Even if i wasnt in that timeline, which i wasn't. That moral panic was absolute garbage! 🗑️

Wow, this is blast from the past! I actually still have the Glacier Bay CD from page 28, that I bought back in the day in either Charlotte, NC, or Atlanta, GA.

my dad bought me this jaws chem toy its the other version he bought it online

Rubber sharks and Jiggler skeletons a staple New Jersey boardwalk souvenir

I’ve still got hundreds of them old AAA, Imperial, Do Mei, Impro, Tetleys, Marx, M.K. and cereal Box Dinos in the Attic and a handful of those Invicta’s from the Museum all collected back in the 80’s and 90’s

I can almost still smell the rubber from the Diener erasers.

Does anyone remember the Major Matt Mason toy line from the late 60s early 70s?! They were awesome!!

My sons had bags of those space laser team figures, they hurt big time when you stepped on them in the middle of the night!!

You’ll be happy to know that formo toys is reviving the Galaxy Warriors and the first two Baltard and Magnon are going up for preorder on June 10th 😎

Awesome topic

BIG TRAK was probably THE first coding toy on the market.

thank you so much for this series

I always love videos about this interesting line, and this was no exception. It even had plenty of info I was unaware of(I never knew anything about that awesome supplemental line).

1991 Strawberry Shortcake was so cute. I miss that smell I can almost smell them through the phone 😢

So awesome watching this! I’m glad I own this piece of art by you! …and that Bob Ross clip, “Beat the devil outta it!” 😂😂😂

I question the fact that the line was not successful, it was. Not as, say MOTU or Star Wars, but it was, say, Thudercats level, let us say a cut above the Blackstar line. Most kids had at least a couple of those. Plus some of the rubber ones.

In times to come, warriors will speak of the magnificence of this video. Thank you. Loved seeing the ARCO playsets!

Lovely documentary, enjoyed watching this. Did you use some sort of effect on your voiceover to make it sound like you're recording it via a phone call? Just a note, you said "based off", where I think you meant to say "based on". Thank you for making this.

I had this toy!!! Sooooooo fun!!!!!! I lost the yellow action figures in my yard one year. So sad.

Could you please tell me what the toys were that you showed on screen at 3:28. I had that little dome toped robot on the right and I would love to find it again, but I just couldn't tell what the names of the toys were. THANK YOU!

What - no Scarab?!? 🤣

Oh man, I forgot all about those Space Raiders erasers! I had several of those.

Oh one more comment as UA-cam decides to feed this to me again. The weird thing about Star Wars is it didn't just come out of nowhere. It hit into a market that was already buzzing for something just like it. The pump had already been primed. In the mid to late 70's the routine "Action Figures" of the day like Big Jim, Action Jackson and the somewhat defanged "Action Team" version of GI Joe weren't cutting it.We had been fed for years on Planet of the Apes and Star Trek reruns and Mego's wonderful toys. The week day after school movies tended to run a lot of old 50's US SciFi and newer Japanese SciFi and Kaiju. There was a momentum building. A Craving. Look at the first US wave of Micronauts. 1976! Look in the Catalog and notice how much that first wave seemed to be pulling from those same design concepts we see in Star Wars and the later toys. Wee see those white plastic wedge shaped spaceships. The robots. The armored bad guy. (No Baron Karza was not a Darth Vader rip off. He was Kotetsu Jeeg with a bootleg Mazinger Z head sculpt that somebody cut the crown off and reversed it).

I think you plays way too much emphasis on Star Wars influence on everything. There is no doubt the role that Star Wars had to play and enabling all of this to happen and the direct inspiration in many cases, however there was already a trend happening something that you acknowledge yourself. There was already live action science fiction on Saturday mornings as well as many of inspired cartoons on Saturday mornings. This whole Trend was a process not a product. The stage was already set. I think it is fair to say that the widespread distribution of Star Trek in television syndication warmed up the audience for the arrival of Star Wars and the subsequent tsunami of Science Fiction media and product tie-ins. It's highly possible that Lucas was aware of this science fiction toy trend already happening and it's probably one of the reasons why he set up the deal for percentage of product tie in sales.

I had a Big Trak, which I think was difficult for my parents (I mean Santa Claus) to afford... I was delighted, for about 45 minutes, before figuring out how limited it was, and it was loud enough that my folks didn't want it near them at all. Other than chasing my cat, (who just ran down the stairs) it was a great toy that I never warmed up to...

You forgot the micronauts, biotron, etc. sci fi legos.

The Micronauts were interchangeable across the entire line of toys,you could combie them & create entirely new toys. FAR ahead of its time...

@6:10...it was called 'Starbird' and had a Trans Am screaming chicken on the hood. That may be more 70's than the average kid could handle....

Those Metal Minis are so cool! Great video!

Your C3PO had both legs gold like they should be. I put a model together of C3PO and he had no silver leg.

This stuff was just a little before my time, I remember my older brother had an Alpha Star and that one with the detaching center with the orange pilot, can't remember the name of it.

Anybody, what is this background music from?

Hey don’t forget other Godzilla Toys 🧸 from Trendmasters Toys 🧸 they were made from the mid 1990’s!

I wonder why all the mushrooms in the older art are always ted with white dots. Curious

15:20 - that blue spaceman is a DEAD RINGER for the original 1930s Flash Gordon comics

The memories of some of these toys were buried in mind and suddenly awakened by watching this video.

22:27 more than a little Frazetta, that barbarian to the right side of the box is also lifted from him lol

I always wanted those Dimensions for Children playsets, but never got them. I blame the satanic panic and bad publicity of D&D. My mom refused to let me have anything with a dragon, sorcery, or dungeon in the name of it lol.

One manufacturer that was not mentioned in your fun video were the prehistoric Dinosaurs and Mammals done by the J.K.Miller corporation. Done in a waxy material they were easily broken. They seemed to be produced from the late 50's to the very early 60's. They also produced modern Jungle animals as well. And they were very good and lifelike.

This review helped give a quick deep dice for a story recreation! Ty!

4:24 Bowser grabs Drag Queen Toadstool, errrr... Princess Toadstool

Kelek, Strongheart and of course Warduke all appeared in the 1983 cartoon. I just did a "Storyboard Artist Reacts' video on my channel which looks at Warduke in the episode "In Search of the Dungeon Master "

I had a ROM comic.

Had a lot of these toys... Bought from Toy Country USA

Milf was my favourite

6:41 I think I saw that game board set at an antique store I went to

I didn’t get the play set but I did have the puzzle 🧩
