Celebrity Dolls NOBODY Asked For | Fashion & ACTION Figure Doll Toys of the 70s, 80s, 90s
I grew up in an area that became a "rich area" after my parents moved there (they were the first or second house on the street) and my neighbor's dad made literally 10x what my dad did, so while I was scrounging Thrifty and Gemco for $3 Atari 2600 cart liquidations (to play on my refurbished 2600) he got the full monty NES setup (robot, light gun, etc). I also remember his dad had a "cable ready" TV which gave them access to all of the pay cable without paying for it. At that point in time, they didn't scramble pay channels (except the playboy channel) they just stuck them on channels above 13 so that you could only get them with a cable box (the same slider shown in this video). Since the TV could get them without the box, they were free! And yes, they did have a giant pool with a hot tub attached.
Wow, thank you for sharing all this. It makes my experience seem so much more vindicated. Things have certainly changed, but that is how many of us lived. Not everyone, but it was not rare. Thank you
Living near the silicon valley/bay area, I encountered these items from other people. The giant satellite was the first time i encountered it. Kid also had the handheld sega game gear. Pool parties were kids who had money. Sadly, not invited to them. Laser disk, only encounted one person. I forget who had the trampoline, but my parents told me not to go on it. Was tempting. Never had big wheel. I got too big quickly. The electric vehicle, other kids had, but not me. As for those pcs, my dad would collect them when silicon valley would get rid of them during recycle day. Only knew one kid who had the gi joe aircraft carrier. That kid lived in a big house. Great play date since he had a lot of gi joes. Lol. I didn't get star wars toys bc I was worried i would want to collect them all. Lol. I knew kids who had tons. As for clothes, if it was new clothes, it would be on sale. Going early to Mervyn's.
This is another comment that i absolutely live for. Great experiences during an awesome time...but are so real and relatable. The world has changed so much, but even without all the bells and whistles, I could enjoy it...but that didn't mean I didn't want it. Thanks for watching, man.
Eagle force was popular .
I'm sure it was to those who remember it.
I think the next Olympic mascot should be related to Sam the Eagle. Both characters to be Sam grandkids a male eagle and a female eagle.
Love that idea. Make it so.
Yeah that would be a great idea because his grandkids can represent the Young generation. Also I think that should be your next video. Should next mascot for 2028 Olympics in LA should be Sam the Eagle grandkids?
Toys were creative back then.
No doubt. Now there is only tech
Can't believe I forgot about intercoms. I guess it was more then thick shag carpets, conversation pits, wood panels and marigold color schemes. I remember someone my parents knew did have one set up and we were amazed by it.
I loved step down, or drop Living Rooms...WANT IT AGAIN, lol. Yeah, also thought if you had intercom, you were the SH**
Those were so many of the items I wanted, but never had. I kinda would still like to have a trampoline..
Time to get a trampoline!
My family was pretty poor economically but we were rich in family, all of us lived in the same community, from great grandmothers to second cousins. I got to wear OP clothes to high school but that was because my grandmother worked at JC Penney so got a 30% discount (that's why she worked there, to be able to afford good clothes for her grand kids). I laughed when I saw that old brown cable box and the memories of clicking those buttons (clunk, clunk, clunk...). My uncle was the 1st in the family to get cable because he was in his early twenties still living at home so had the disposable income. I used to spend the night at my grandparents on the weekends just so I could watch his TV in his room while he was out on dates. One of my buddies in HS had one of those laser disk players, his dad was in the Air Force and got one when he was stationed in the Philippines real cheap. They had 2 movies for it, Moby Dick and Lawrence of Arabia. Finally when I was in 9th grade I got a computer for christmas, a C-64. It was $300 and came with a disk drive, could hook it up to a TV and used Atari joy sticks. Much cheaper than the $2000+ Apples at the time. It still took both sets of my grandparents to buy it. Hell, I was 23 and still sleeping in my old twin bed before I got a queen size for my birthday and it took most of the family to pool together to get it for me. It was quite embarrassing to be living on 'my own' (I had roommates, see @ArtDocHound's post for details) and still sleeping in the same hand-me-down kid's bed I slept in since elementary school. Oh well, like I said, we were poor but I really didn't know that as a kid because we were rich in family so had more than most in the community because of that.
My best "rich" friend was Mario Wilfong. Had every toy the minute it came out. Always seemed to have money when the rest of us were "poor". We only received toys at Christmas or birthdays. Thanks for a great video.
Thank you for watching, and I'm with you on gifts for Bday adn Christmas only, so yeah, I knew those kids too. Always so shocked.
I grew up dirt poor. I was ackward, goofy looking (so all the popular girls told me), and I didn't have any of the cool stuff or clothes the rich kids had. Now, I'm 54, and happy in my life. Those girls that bullied me...have not aged well at all!
Still coming across ackward
I'm very happy that you have found comfort and contentment. Kids could be bullies, but nice to see you grew from that.
My neighbors had a massive basement with a big-screen tv, a wall of VHS, Beta, laserdiscs, and CEDs. And in a sorta separate space was the toy section, filled with every Star Wars, He-Man, GI Joe and Transformers toy/playset. We had illegal cable, and most of my toys came from thrift stores.
I had to laugh at illegal cable because I knew so many people who did that. I also had a friend at the end of the block that had every toy possible. I couldn't even fathom it. THanks for watching.
@@GENXPERIENCE My parents bought that house in 1982 and the cable was just on, much to the delight of my family. I didn't realize my folks weren't paying for it until the cable company finally figured it out in 1989!
What a great list. Of all those things, a car would've been great, but Mom wasn't having it. And how strange to remember a time when we didn't need a computer. I kinda miss those more innocent years.
I absolutely miss the more innocent time. Not just of youth, but our youth. Thank you for watching, I know there are more things, for sure.
Cable sucks now. N I never heard u cuss lol😮
I meant to bleep it, lol. Just forgot. Yeah, I don't have cable, either.
Rich kids suck! My memories of careening around corners on my Big Wheel cannot be beat! Top 10 Hand-Me Downs of the 80s. Comics, records, tapes, clothes I'm still trying to live up to Three's Company. What do you mean, why can't I live in Three's Company? Thank you.
lol...living Three's Company sounds like a joy, really. Here's to hoping.
@@GENXPERIENCE Life goals 😁
I lived Three's Company in the mid 90's. The difference was I didn't have to pretend to be gay and my two female roommates were a lesbian couple.
Hey my friend good to see you n videos now. You r trying to copy my style lol. Just kicking lol. #DisneyDiva I was born n 84 ❤
Hello and yeah, I figured I should show myself a little more. It helps, I don't mind. But it just has to be done right. Thank you for the comments as always.
I was a rich kid compared to othet people. I'm an only child and was born when my mom was 42 and my dad 55. When I was in second grade in 1978 my mom bought me a portable black and white TV for an Easter gift. I was the only eight year old in my class with a TV in my bedroom. I went to Catholic school and was terrorized K-12 for being shy, quiet and not athletic. Love though throwing back in their faces that I had my own TV, VCR, Guess jeans, etc.
I can totally see how you would like that feeling. I wen to Catholic school from 1-8 grades and was very similar...sadly I did not have those things to make anyone jealous...that would have been helpful, though. Thank you for the comment.
My cousins had EVERYTHING cool in the 70's (and part of the 80's),i was like the poor country mouse when I visited haha. But it was fantastic;my aunt would always hook me up with treats and things my Mom sort of considered "bad for me"! 😆 Thanks for helping me shine the light down Memory Lane!
Of course, and I totally know the feeling of friends or family that showered us with things we didn't usually get. It was magical. THank you for watching.
There are just so many additional things that we thought made you rich growing up during The GEN Xperience. Too many for one video, so please let me know more. I remember being young from the 1970s to the 80s and all the wonderful things available during the era of excess that I just couldn't have, but so many of my friends did. That convinced they were all filthy rich and much better off than I.
I don't think any of this stuff made it across the pond. If it did I can't remember it. I learned about Land of the lost from Dr. Steel!
Really? I can imagine it was hit or miss or sparse, but you guys had your very own arsenal that we either never saw or we saw late....and that is regrettable. Thank you for the watch and comment.
@@GENXPERIENCE Yeah, we had locally produced series, made by the Belgian and Dutch TV. Shows like "De Bereboot", "Merlina", "Mik, Mak en Mon" and "Bassie & Adriaan". We also had our localised (Our version of Big Bird was blue) and dubbed version of Sesame street in "Sesam straat".
The last time I went several times to Mcdonalds to get the new Happy meal toy was when they had that YU-GI-OH/Hello Kitty colab a few months ago.
At least you still go. I can't remember the last time I would go for the toy...but that was something I certainly did in the 90s and 2000s.
I always liked the Mcdonaland character toys or original stuff like the Mcrobos better then the tie-ins.
There were some wonderful originals, absolutely. Getting those could be a nice surprise that you could add to your toy collection at home somehow. Thanks for the watch and comment.
A few more female action figures from the 80s: Futura and Mysteria from Filmation's Ghostbusters and Kat from Rambo force of freedom. You also have Marion from raiders of the lost ark.
I should have done Kat for sure. And probably Marion. I had little knowledge of the toyline for Filmation's Ghostbusters though; thank you for adding to my knowledge.
@@GENXPERIENCE Yeah they got burried under the weight of the real ghost bosters. The cartoon was ok. A bit more zany than then those 4 guys from New York, but worth checking out an episode. And they did have great theme music.
Visionaries also skipped the ladies when it came to action figures.
They did and THAT SUCKED. Other lines did it just fine and with success.
Helen Slater as Supergirl was so hot. I had a major crush on her when I was 15. Man I'd tear that ass up 😂😂😂😂 I do miss the 80s. The women were so hot ♨️🔥
She was stunning...and I haven't' heard anyone say differently, lol
Is Guru from Wollongong here?
I saw Tina Louise on Knight Rider, episode named "The Topaz Connection".
Really? I am not surprised, but honestly saw her on very few things as a guest star. I know she must have, but felt like she faded away, sadly.
Don't forget about William Daniels!
Well, he is not a sole survivor of his show, but still happy he is still with us.
Tina Louise did not have a real problem with the cast, but with Sherwood Schwarz. That's why she would never work on his follow up projects. She started saying more nice things about GI and cast after Schwartz died.
Sadly, the village's chapel burned down in the early 90s.
That does suck, A LOT. I am glad the village is there. But for how long, right?
The shogun warriors were also an anime show that called force five but it was only shown in certain markets such as new england.
I heard that later, so I am guessing it was absolutely not in my market...which is too bad. I would have been watching.
omg, the tranzor Z toy... I had one as a small kid. I wonder what happened to it.
I love when these shows unlock memories. Thanks for watching.
even im in GenZ category, but i really loves hand painted 70s/80s movie posters, especially my dad bought the original Mad Max (1979) movie that included the poster, when i was a kid seeing that poster, i stare at it for almost every day because of how cool it looks😂
Love to hear that. I know each genernation is their own, and brings something new to the table, but I still love to hear when someone younger does show appreciation to SOMETHING we offered, lol. Some of those posters just can't be beat. That Mad Max one was mysterious and exciting, to be sure.
Fay was a flawless villain! That blonde overbite was the Achilles heel and her acting shows that she was in no way ready for an kind of heavy lead role. Most of the film the viewer is wondering if she is ever going to be believable at all.
I know Supergirl was a bad movie. But, before the movie, even, I never liked that the writers added magic to the Superman comic universe.
Oh no - it wasn't (just) Faye Dunaway. Helen was gorgeous in this film, but she was just so awful otherwise. There was nothing redeeming about this film. Poorly casted, written, and acted, with egregiously bad special effects. Even so, more enjoyable than Batman v Superman.
E.T. cereal was my absolute favorite! I'd actually get up early on Saturday mornings in order to beat my three older brothers to the box of E.T. cereal! I wish they'd bring it back, even if they rename it something else!
Thank you for that. Those are the kinds of stories I live for. I would always beat my brothers and sisters to the cereal as I was an early riser. ET cereal was a scrumptious flavor...yeah, I'd get it too.
Here's a suggestion for a video; The book of Sniglets. I still use some of those terms today.
I use Potentator and Minutator often, lol. Spelling may be off, but great suggestion
Bionic 6 had awesome figures & I actually watched the show..thx for putting this together for us
You are very kind. Love the comment and thanks for watching. I may have been older for Bionic 6, but I know they were loved.
These were the first Olympics I ever watched ( I was still in high school.) and I've been hooked ever since. Though not really a sports fan, I am a mega Olympics fan. Thanx for all the memories and insights, Victor.
Although I was a bit younger, it was the first time I paid attention. I don't follow other sports, but can't take my eyes off of the Olympics. Thank you for the comment. It means a lot.
Man, they did such a tremendous job breathing new life and relevance into the games with all these breakthrough techniques and technologies. But now that they've become standard, what does it mean that the same problems of disinterest are once again building? Where do they go from here? And why have so many Olympics since failed financially, while using the same methods?
Good questions, but I will admit that the whole event has kept and even grown some popularity since Beijing (I don't count Covid Tokyo), but you are right about one major point...they still all LOOSE Money...and I just don't know why. Obviously they are not doing it like 84.
Melancholy Memories from the Ghost of Christmas Past
I actually enjoyed this movie.
Fun fact that you may not remember: ABC was originally going to cover the 84 Games around the clock, and shelve their daytime lineup (soaps) for 2 weeks. Soap fans got wind of this, and were ticked-so this compromise was reached: 7-9 am GMA 9 am-12 pm Morning coverage 12-1240 pm All My Children 1240-120 pm One Life To Live 120-2 pm General Hospital 2-5 pm Afternoon coverage Loving, Ryan's Hope, and on-the-deathbed Edge of Night WERE shelved
Now that is interesting. If they had shelved the line up, maybe today we would be watching the whole coverage on all day. And I am sure the Soap Stars would not have minded the break. Thank you for this
@@GENXPERIENCE I bring this up not only for historical purposes, but as a preview of what NBC could do for LA 2028 (the live coverage from Paris now is a dry run, no doubt) Soaps by this point were taped several weeks ahead of time (the last one to be shot live was Edge of Night in 74/75 on CBS-prior to the move to ABC in the fall of 75)
Supergirl is a failure mainly because Jeannot Szwarc is a terrible director. He's the one who approves the script to direct .Roy Scheider was pointing this out during the filming of Jaws 2. Faye Dunaway is terrible in the movie . Helen Slater😍and Jerry Goldsmith's score nearly saved this misguided mess
All of this....EXACTLY
From your British counsin When haven't the USA won more Olympic medals than every other country ?
Been awhile for sure. But that wasn't the case before 84. And we don't always win the most Gold...so there is that.
Dick Van Dyke is still with us, although that was in the 60’s. That makes it even more impressive. He’s 98!
So is their son, Richie from the show. Van Dyke is amazingly kicking along, though. LOVE THAT>
