A Tour of Andrew’s Epic Toy Collection! An Action Figure Museum! I’d Better KEEP ON COLLECTING!!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- I’m hitting to road to catch up with my friends Matt and Andrew from the awesome UA-cam channel Keep on Collecting, and for the first time I get to see Andrew’s unbelievable collection of vintage and modern action figures and other toys and collectibles.
Andrew’s toy room is the product of 30 years of collecting and an inspiration and motivation to a newer collector like me. Andrew's collection contains a beautiful mix of Star Wars, Dr Who, Jurassic Park, DC Universe, Jurassic Park, Real Ghostbusters and many other toy lines, new and old. It was easy to forget that I was in a three-car garage and I could have happily spent hours upon hours looking at the beautifully assembled collection.
Between my basic filming skills and how overwhelmed I was by the collection I likely didn’t do it justice but to see more of the collection and of Andrew and Matt go check out KEEP ON COLLECTING:

A big thank you to Andrew and Matt, and of course thank you for watching!

Great stuff. Andrew's collection is mind-boggling! Incredible diversity.
Thank you! It really is mind-boggling!
WOW! What a collection! It's hard to know where to begin. I'd say the highlights for me were the Space: 1999 Eagles, Buck Rogers and the 6 Million Dollar Man stuff, amazing!! Thanks for sharing!!
Haha that's exactly how I felt when I set foot in Andrew's collection room... no idea what to look at first! There really is something for everybody though, from the 70s to modern releases. Glad you enjoyed the video Gazz!
Awesome collection! Nothing like spending time in our man caves while enjoying the plastic fruits of Joy in this world of toys we created! Nice tour and thanks for sharing!👍
I couldn't agree more, our collection rooms, whether they're big or small are such a sanctuary! No worries, glad to hear you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!👍
@@ScottCrusher Well said! And thanks for sharing!✌😁
Amazing collection.
Loved the star wars collection and how it was displayed very nice.!
Agreed, the way Andrew displays his collection is awesome. Cheers Leo, glad you enjoyed the video! :)
Gee... I wish I had a room that size! 😁Marvelous collection and I absolutely love it! So cool, mate! Thanks for this video Scott! 😍🥰🤩❤👍👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it DJ! Yeah, Andrew's collection room/museum is something special!👌👌👌
@@ScottCrusher Indeed it is! 🥰👏👏👏
Another great video Scott, Andrew’s collection is out of this world, it really is like you are transported back to a classic toys r us or toy world great video and great work Scott 😎👍🏻
Thanks Ryan, I really appreciate that mate, I can't claim much credit for this video, it's all about Andrew's out of this world collection and display! That's exactly right, being in his collection room is like being transported to a different (but familiar) time and place. Thanks again bud!😁
What an incredible collection and beautifully laid out. Great video Scott and awesome to have met you both virtually. Cheers
Cheers Jason! Yes Andrew's collection and the way it's all displayed is next level! Appreciate it mate, was great meeting and chatting with you👊
Nice collection, finally displayed some of mine. Keep up the good work
Thanks mate! It's always nice to get the collection on display where it belongs!😁
@@ScottCrusher exactly, couldn’t believe I had it in boxes for 15 years.
OMG now that is a big and awesome collection, thanks for sharing 👍🏽
You're most welcome Yair, glad you enjoyed it!
You’re lucky to be able to see the massive collection
I count myself very lucky indeed! Merry Christmas Lawrence😊
Thats one big colelction! Thanks for sharing and thanks to your mates for showing you around!
Yes indeed, Andrew's collection is huge, and has certainly grown since we shot this video. It's definitely inspirational and educational for someone like me who is a bit newer to collecting vintage toys!
Unbelievable! Toys don’t ever just get lost…they go there to enjoy retirement. Great video review!!!😎
Thank you! That's it mate, and you'd be hard pressed to find a better place for an action figure to enjoy their retirement than Andrew's collection room!
Sounds like a Christmas TV special, Garage of Lost Toys!!! Santa goes there when he runs out of toys...
@@keeponcollecting BRILLIANT!👍👍
Cool stuff! Dig that Hall of Justice setup!
For sure, Andrew's Super Powers collection with that Hall of Justice playset is one of my favs! Cheers Rick :)
At 12:30 , the Space:1999 Mattel Eagle one with the original box , nice piece !
Very cool piece Marc! If you're a Space 1999 fan be sure to check out Andrew and Matt's channel (Keep on Collecting) if you've not already. The boys have definitely educated me on Space 1999! Thanks for watching :)
Legendary collection.
Agreed, and behind the legendary collection is a legend of a collector in Andrew!
Amazing collection
Cheers mate, Andrew's collection's awesome!
thats a cool collection thats what my flat is like
That sounds like my kind of flat! Living in a flat myself, I dream of having a big space like this :)
Such a great effort at pulling together all he filming into a vid that compliments our vid.
Your kind words are appreciated mate. Can't wait to get together in the new year Scott and hopefully some Collector Cons 😃👍💥
I meant everything I said, I had an awesome day and it's cool to have it captured in a couple of videos that work well together. Looking forward to catching up with both of you guys at March Collector Con or hopefully earlier!
Wait what!!!!!😮😮😮
Ok at what point does a “collection room” become a bloody toy shop!!! 😂
Because whatever that point is! Andy’s looking at it in the rear view mirror!!! 😂😂
My god what a place!!! No wonder you was in there 4 hours! I’m not sure were to start so I’ll just say WOW!!! unbelievable, just unbelievable!! Thanks for giving us access Andy, and thank you for documenting it Scott to share with us, you guys rule man.
And are all criminally undersubscribed!!! We need to push you lads in a big way.
Loved it guys, got me right in the feels 🙏👍🤜🤛
Thanks so much Luke, that is damn nice of you to say, but the real hero of this vid is Andy and his incredible collection, I'm just fumbling around with the camera, trying to contain my excitement and do justice to his epic collection! But you're absolutely correct, this is a toy room that definitely feels more like a toy shop or museum than a humble collection room. Thanks once again for the kind words mate, the boys and I really appreciate your support.🙏👊😁
Brilliant video! What an amazing collection.
Thanks dude, glad you enjoyed! Yep I sure is🤩
Awesome collection mate 👍
Thanks Charlos, glad you enjoyed it :)
Wow what a collection I could spend hours in that room looks amazing
Ain't that the truth Hank! I want to live among the collection😁
Fantastic stuff mate!!! So many memories!!! The Yoda hand puppets are really good given the age. Plus mate your VHS collection looks great in the background, its definitely growing!
Thanks Scott! Yeah, the toy collection and the VHS collection is steadily growing! Appreciate the support mate!
those must be made of a durable nasty chemical. they have to have been deliberately abused to be in bad shape. every one i see looks pretty good. i constantly look at mine. i cant see any faults in it. no sign of breaking down.
True! Funnily enough, I was discussing action figure durability with Andrew and Matt because Andrew has some Kenner Real Ghostbusters figures that are breaking down and leaking an oily substance. Wild to think that one day they will be all gone, (long after we are)!
Love the Buck Rogers stuff. Do want!
It's a classic line!
DAMN. If I could buy this video a beer I would. Awesome collection, mate. 👍👍👍
I appreciate the kind feedback mate! Andrew's collection is definitely on a whole other level!😮😮😮
@@ScottCrusher it’s a thing of beauty that’s for sure. I bumped into you three fellas at the Collectorcon in Penrith last November!….you boys looked busy with something at a vendors table so I didn’t bother you all.
Amazing!! Thanks for taking us on the tour!! 🔥🔥
Glad you enjoyed it, you are most welcome! :)
Fantastic collection well jealous
Glad you enjoyed it George, I'm still in awe of Andrew's collection!
Easily my favourite collection you’ve reviewed so far
I appreciate it Damon! Andrew's collection has definitely evolved beyond this (somehow), so maybe one day we can share an updated look at the room. Thanks for the support mate, I'm glad you enjoyed!
A friend of mine is a big fan of Dr. Who, he enjoying watching this collections, especially that police phone booth....
For sure, unfortunately I didn't film much of Andrew's Dr Who collection but the phone box is so damn cool!
Incredible! Someone who has actually been collecting longer than I have! April 2nd of this year will be my 28th year. I started April 2nd, 1994! 😃 And you have me wayyyy beat as I only have around 3000 figures. Awesome collection!
Haha Andrew who owns this collection has me beat by a couple of decades! Wow, 28 years that's incredible, well done!👏
Well, I was manager of a couple different Comic Book stores in San Diego 1984 to 1999, before moving back to my home town and opening my own comic shop from 1999 to 2008. Because of this my kids wanted Super Heroes instead of Star Wars or Joe's. Even though the line had ended in 1992, the local Toy's R Us still had a large selection of Super Powers figures. Don't remember when, but it later became my hobby. My collection stayed in the 5.5 to 6.5. Today, I have 10 different Earth's. In a bizarre twist, I have twice as many DC Earth's; 6, and yet I have almost twice as many Marvel figures in 3 Earths. The 10th Earth is figures from the Past and Future. They range from Conan, approximately 10,000 BC to Kamandi, 31st Century.
How cool, local comic book stores have been some of my favourite places as a kid and an adult, very cool that you built a career in them.
wow cool room
Glad you enjoyed, thanks for watching!
This is awesome!!!!!!
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it!
I had the same rubber Yoda puppet when I was a mere baby too
That's awesome, hope you managed to hold onto it to this day😊
cool video! ps Scott I love the white shelving behind you....glass sliding doors? Home made? Looks very smart 👍
Thanks mate! Those cabinets behind me are from a furniture retailer here in Australia called Fantastic Furniture, it's called the Gallery Cabinet. They're the same height as a detolf but double the width and work really well!
Wow! Amazing collection room! I will check them out, Ive subbed you :-)
Thank you, I appreciate that! Andrew's collection room sure is amazing, glad you enjoyed seeing it :)
Awesome collection 🤘
Cheers, I'm still in awe of Andrew's collection!😍
awesome walk through love it reminds me of KB TOYS
Thank you! Unfortunately we didn't have KB Toys here in Australia, but from what I've heard it was a special place, so that's quite the complement to Andrew's collection room! Glad you enjoyed it :)
Only have a few childhood survivors as well
Sadly me too mate! A couple of TMNT figures, some Monsters in my Pocket, that's about it... thanks for watching Groglor👍
well looks like the rs is going to have to park on the street and the garage is turning into a toy room if u wanna step it up with the big bois 😅😂
such a great video mate keep up the awesome work!
HAHAHA! Now you have me thinking Shane! Or maybe I live out of the RS and fill my whole joint up with toys! Appreciate your support mate :)
Damn this is epic
Thanks man, it's a wild collection for sure!
oh th at human guy in teh skeleton warriors shelf. I had that guy didnt know he was one of those.
There you go! Skeleton Warriors is such a cool figure line!
And here is the other view!! Great vid Scott! Will check out your video catalogue 👍
Thank you very much Holly, I appreciate it!
that was a seriously impressive collection. i'll certainly be subbing to their channel as well.
Absolutely! Some collection goals right there. Nice one, hope you enjoy Matt and Andrew's channel!
Wonderful figures in their playset scenes in each cabinet. Mine is a tiny home so I can only have a smaller portion of what this museum have for the action figures but I have plans for these action figures and other character groups and others to be housed in their miniature theme worlds. One of the most wonderful places for its size shown in this video.
Thanks Jack! I hear you dude, I live in a much smaller home to Andrew so my collection room is a fraction of the size, but it's all about being creative and making the best of what we have to work with. Thanks again for the kind words, I'm glad you enjoyed the video and all the best with your collecting and displaying!
I can't believe you haven't got or didn't show any THUNDERCATS or BRAVESTARR or BUCKY O'HARE!
I'm pretty sure I showed a bit of everything in Andrew's collection room, but with that said, his collection isn't limited to the collection room, he has tubs and shelves of items all over his house, so I would assume there would definitely be some Thundercats and Bravestarr in the mix somewhere! Thanks for watching :)
Wow! Fantastic collection.
It sure is Mick, Andrew has set the bar high! Thanks for watching mate
Awesome collection
Thanks Vince, glad you enjoyed it! :)
Looks like Andrew was a very good lad growing up.
Haha indeed!... and he still is a good lad!
Great stuff Mr Crusher... Salacious Rum from the Salacious Rum UA-cam channel is now subbed!
Welcome Salacious Rum! Look forward to checking out your videos too :)
Great video! Andrew's collection is incredible!👍
Thanks, I appreciate that! Yeah, the scale and variety of his collection is wild!
Awesome
Thanks mate!
Epic!
👊
Incredible! I have seen a lot of people who dwarf my collection, somewhere between 2000 and 3000, I'm doing an inventory now, but I haven't seen anyone beat my years of collecting! I am at a little over 27 1/2 years at collecting; started April 2nd, 1994 with some Super Powers and even some Secret Wars that were still there. I didn't do Star Wars, Joe's, or He-Man. I mostly did Super Heroes or 5.5". I currently have 10 different Earth's, 6 DC, 3 Marvel, and an Earth of Past and Future figures. Weird that I have twice as many DC Earth's when I have twice as many Marvel figures. Most of the DC Earth's are small.
Thanks Edward! Wow, it sounds like you have a heck of a collection yourself! That's cool that you have noted the exact day you started collecting, so you will be celebrating your 30th anniversary before long.
It was easy to keep track of. It was my son's 4th birthday. LOL. Half of my family just barely missed Holidays! My son was April 2nd, my sister is June 5th, my grandson is October 25, I'm December 27th, my grandmother was November 26th so an occasional Thanksgiving.
@@edwardbeaty8899 Haha there you go! Your collection is almost as old as your son! That's really cool mate. Speaking of holidays, I hope you enjoy yours!😊
Legendary
👊
great vid. inspiring. well done with the collection luv it.
I agree, Andrew's collection is definitely inspiring to fellow collectors like me! Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching👍
This is very awesome
Thanks Fred, appreciate the support mate!
wow what a great collection
Sure is! Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed😊
cool collection😇👍🙏
Cheers dude, Andrew's collection is pretty wild!!😁👌
Amazing collection!
Glad you enjoyed it Jeff, thanks for watching!👍
Quick trivia demolition Man and The New adventures of He-Man action figures both share some of the same moles and accessories
So it wasn't just Kenner with the re-use of parts and moulds for different toy lines, Mattel got in on the action too!
@@ScottCrusher I think mattel was The originators of that Big Jim heman etc
True, I thought Kenner may have kicked off the kit-bash trend, but I think you're right!
that romain lettuce really ads a lot to the trees on the robin hood playset vs. the already burned down looking ewok village.
Haha a little greenery really spruces up a playset!
Awesome video
Thanks so much Thomas, glad you enjoyed it!
Stunning collection mate
Glad you enjoyed, thanks for watching mate👍
Wow! :o
👊😎
TAKE TO 👍 439 IMPRESIONANTE COLECCION SALUDOS DESDE COLOMBIA 🇨🇴🤙🤙🤙
Muchas Gracias Amigo!
Sounds like you got there, had a drink, smoked a couple joints, looked at a few toys and were like, “we Gotta do this video”
Lol, is that a working Tardis??
Aside from the joints, that's not far from the truth!😂🍻 Andrew built the Tardis, it's not quite finished but very cool to see!👌
ESTA COLECCIÓN ME GUSTO TANTO QUE ME LA ESTOY REPITIENDO 🤙🤙🤙
aprecio eso gracias!! También puede disfrutar de mi nuevo video :))
Are the He-man, from the 80s or just to look like it? Do they have besides, in your eyes have value? I have seen a Dinobot, for sale for $200..
Hey Keith! most of the He-man and Masters of the Universe figures as well as the Snake Mountain and Castle Grayskull playsets are from the 80s, but there are also some of the new MOTU Origins line figures on the shelf too. Those are the ones at the back that are still on card. Yes, vintage MOTU figures are definitely increasing in value, especially here in Australia!
❤❤
A lot of people are saying this is the best collection in Australia
I can't disagree!😁
Very cool! But, I hate to put classic vintage items next to today’s crap.
Personally I agree, I'm vintage all the way. The modern stuff we get these days doesn't do much for me, but to each their own!
Great video! I didn't find any Gi Joes :/
Thank you! That's right, Andrew definitely has some GI Joes in his collection, but they're not on display at the moment, as you can see he's run out of space :)
@@ScottCrusher This is a rare museum 😄 he should allow access to all collectors 😁
@@IndianToyCollector That's right, a museum is the best way to describe it!👌
so much eye candy!
You're not wrong Camcorder Nonsense, I am waiting for the right moment to ask Andrew if I can move in haha!
Did you guys figure out what the bootleg shark head guy was? I found him in a second hand store a couple of weeks ago. Really cool figure.
Oh nice! I think it's a knock off line called Mighty Sharks... in the 80s and 90s some of the knock off and bootleg figures were damn cool!😎
Never heard,of it, shall look them up!
@@ScottCrusher do you know of any collector swap meets in Sydney? Where we can trade things we are not keen on? Not sure any of the sale days do that.
Are you Sydney based as well mate? The regular events here are Collector Con at Penrith and Campbelltown and the Hurstville Collectors fairs, but I don't tend to see much trading going on, more just vendors selling items. Some of them may be keen on a trade though. But a proper old style swap meet would be awesome!
Maybe before one of the collectors fairs a car boot swap meet. I would be keen. Turn up for an hour and trade with other like minded collectors!
Hey!! You’re driving on the wrong side of the road! 😅
We're a bit backwards down here in Australia!😂😂
why separate the ghostbusters building dident look like two pices
That was two separate Real Ghostbusters Firehouse playsets, one to show off the outside, one to show the inside :)
GREAT COLLECTION BUT SUPRISED THAT THEY ARE NOT DUSTED.
Same here, the collection is in very good condition. Thanks for watching😊
Torsion spring is broken
No GI Joe?
After I filmed the video, Andrew showed me some of his GI Joe collection which is stored in the Dr Who Tardis. Even though his collection room is a three car garage he doesn't have room to display everything😳 Thanks for watching!
How many figures
Thousands! :)
(whistle) hello beautiful!
Definitely the kind of collection that warrants a whistle!😙👌
Great toys…. But looks very cluttered and messy….
Everyones' display style is different I guess, Andrew's collection room is absolutely overflowing with cool toys!
This collection is okay. Not the greatest though.
If Andrew's collection isn't great mine is downright pathetic😅 Merry Christmas!👍
What the fffff
That was my first reaction!😂
Wow! How do you keep it all dusted. Or do you?
With great difficulty I imagine! Andrew has the garage sealed from the rest of the house and from the outside to limit dust, but I still think it would be a bit of a chore!
