Some lovely generosity from everyone. Glad that you and Mr. Knight worked out the shipping logistics and that the DHL repack didn't damage your grail. Looking forward to that Emergency Fire Tender video.
Wonderful acts of kindness and friendship from incredible members of the Analog Toys Family. And an awesome piece of vintage Palitoy Action Man treasure.
I recently started watching the Toy-shop on Tour series on UA-cam. What a FANTASTIC show if you're into toys! Joe, Gav, and Matt the camera guy made a REALLY good show. Happy to hear they're nice guys as well.
This was absolutely delightful to watch, Tony. Great additions to your collection, the joy you take in these toys is palpable. Thanks for sharing your world with us!
I visited the guys a few months ago, i did look at the fire tender, but i coudnlt justify the price lol, i bought a mint boxed talking commander, mint boxed CVR(T) Spartan, well done buddy, very rare item, i also bought the Tank no body liked, cant think of the name, the barrel pushes into the turret to get it in the box, and the scale is way off, Action man in the turret looks like a giant lol, have fun mate, dont break the fire tender windscreen, very epensive to replace
"Fuck you, the Bratz car" Oh man the coffee shot up my nose when you said that. Great video Tony, and I don't know if your face was more surprised when you opened the Fire Tender or when you saw the War Machine Punisher.
Awesome mail call. That fire tender is gorgeous. Pictures do not do it justice. I also had quite a few of those 2008 rerelease Joes. I remember them being quite nice fairly good quality.
Amazing unboxing! That Fire tender is a toy I have never heard of but gee the look on your face when you got it. Also the smell of old cardboard is the true smell of nostalgia LOL. Enjoy the wonderful gifts, great video!
I'm a bit young to know all of these things (I was born in 1989) but I had some Action Man figures myself, of course they were the 90's line, seeing some of these older toys makes me think on how much stuff there must be in this series. I need to look up in the attic and see what my older brother left behind as he was big into Action Man when he was a boy back in the 70's.
That Emergency Fire Tender brought back so many memories. Back when I lived in South West London, I remember my brother getting one of those for Christmas.
I just started watching your channel and knew what you had the holy grail I had my fire truck for 10 yrs now It’s also all working just don’t have box But still have all my fireman outfits
Tony, what always gets me with this hobby, is not only the sheer generosity and kindnesses of people wanting to share and to help others with their collections, but also the complete lack of envy. I watch un-boxings on your channel, as well as 'Tubers like Toy Polloi and such, and I feel no jealousy at all - just excitement, wonder and joy. I don't know what it is that makes the vicarious pleasure of watching someone else unwrap a gift so pleasurable, but it is a real thing - So thanks for sharing, once again!. :)
Tony, you have amazing patience, how could you hold on to boxes that size since Christmas and not get stuck in. Really enjoyed the action force SAS line episode I watched yesterday. You were a little unkind to the SAS paratrooper, my mam bought him for me a long time ago, and I recall his parachute working well - at lesst from the top of my uncles staircase. Keep the show up sir, love your content and the honesty which which you present.
Some amazing items there, Your toy collection and range is constantly expanding due to your passion and generosity of your friends, followers and patrons. Such a wonderful community 👏👏👏
One of the things, when I was a kid, that I loved was just how massive the GIJoe boxes were. My first Adventure Team toy was the yellow helicopter and at Christmas I still remember needing help from my dad to open a box that seemed to a six year old the same size as a steamer trunk. Same with the AT Headquarters and sub. I miss going to a store and seeing stacks of boxes like this piled high and knowing they were full of amazing toys just waiting to be played with.
Fair play Tony will look forward to you video on it, I had this fire engine as a kid...it was one of the only Action Man toys I had from new...great memories of my Dad getting me this. I sold it for a fiver when I started secondary school...If only I could have seen in to the future.
I had that fire tender for Christmas one year…it’s still in my parents’ garage…it’s in a very plated with condition and the bulb got removed for a Tardis model I made. I do have the fire axe somewhere though
this was a cool video, I love it when I see passionate collectors of vintage collectables finally get a hold of their Holy Grails. keep on keepin on Tony!
The fact you live in Port Hedland blows my mind, (and we’ve also had the same sand on our boots from other places) I lived there for two years, and can only think of the “cyclone screens “ that are around that collection. The look on your face when reading that message from person who sent the punisher toy is what it’s all about.
Another great unboxing. I can see why that would be a Hoky Grail; even the box coukd be one all on its own. But on the purely personal side, the standouts for me were the two GI Joe rereleases and the Star Team poster. I loved GI Joe as a kid. I had that very rifle (well, the original) back in the 70s thanks to a yardsale. I'd never seen a white rifle before and it became the prize of my Joes collect for a good long while. Used it as everything from an experimental laser gun they had to guard to an ancient ivory rifle that they in their soldiers of fortune and adventure/civilian phase trekked through the deserts and jungles to find. And the Star Team green headed, robot/armored figure on a rocket sled (from that line?) was everything from protocol droid, a skrull and a martian to a version of the Silver Surfer.
Literally screamed when I saw it. Never saw any of the AM Emergency services on the shelves when I was a 70s/80s kid [Guessing the toy shop owners didn't think it would sell or wanted more room for other stuff]
Never seen one of those. Well done. There's an item that I remember having back in the '70's, that I've never seen since: It was a collection of, I think, 6 Action Man story books that came in a wooden box with a sliding lid. I think I remember the books being square rather than regular "A" shape. Anyone else remember these?
Mate that fire tender is awesome!! I loved mine as a kid and your one is in beautiful condition. I packed it all up and then realised I never put a note inside, but yeah, the board game is from me and the original stars sheet is inside. Cannot wait for the Emergency Services video, Tony. 😁
When you unboxed the Action Man board game, it nearly brought tears to my eyes because I was recently able to find on eBay the original battle for the death star and battle for Hoth boardgames, from '77 & '80!
Gave my original action man away with tank boat and cannon in late 90s early 2000s. Could kick myself now. Wish still had them. The action man doll I played with in the 70s would be in the glass cabinet now had I still had it. Earlier this year I bought the action man talking commander with eagle eye 0f 1982 which is in the cabinet. Only thing missing are the binoculars and box.
Wahou! One of your best unboxing, this fire tender is a beauty and the box is incredible and in fantastic shape. Thank you for the link, I have just purchase the Action Force book.
Nice. That spider man might be my fav spider man done in ML. I need to get the AF novel but still recovering from series 3. Nice Peggy and Punisher too. That Action Man toy is awesome. Always fascinated by Action man though I’ve never collected them.
I remember as a kid collecting the stars 21 at a time and waiting excitedly for the postie to come. Right now I'm waiting for Amazon to come with something rather larger. 😀
Impressive. Most impressive. That fire engine is stunning. It's always great when a piece like that winds up in the hands of someone who can truly appreciate it. As for the board game, I suspect you'll get more out of the smell and the front of the box than the actual game. I lost track of how many board games my brother and I were given for birthday presents as a kid. They all had great box art and were based on something we loved (Star Wars, E.T. etc) but the game inside had little to nothing to do with what it was supposedly based on. Considering that the Action Man board game looks like a Monopoly board, the same was probably true for that one. I suppose a miniatures combat game would have been too obvious?
Wow Tony I never even knew the fire engine existed looking at the wheels look like same as land rover and trailer which I always wanted, but I never had can't wait to see the action man rescue teams 👏 now got me thinking about starting to collect action man 🤦♂️🤦♂️having found a few odds and ends in my attic (I did sell all my original action man to my cousins when I was 16 or 17 )
Thanks so much for the video. Watching from the uk. The anticipation of what the action man holy grail is was killing me! Lol. Great item. I'd love one but just don't have the space for the vehicles at the moment.
I got the action-man Royal Mounted Police outfit, Gaurd Dog ( totally pants) with the stars there in a massive bin bag of action-man stuff in the loft.
great episode, you can just see the joy on Tony's face congrats, also nothing beats that smell , old comics and books have it too its crazy, its prob mold rotting out brains lol
Just to add The time the fire truck and emergency sets came out I was in fenwicks in Newcastle upon Tyne There was a competition and you could enter after buying a action man product The was a challenge of filling these 2 small buckets with openings in you had a small hose pipe to fill them the way you did was get the buckets spinning and every time the opening filled up with water if you filled them both in the given time I don’t remember you won a action man I never forgot the this and winning and then dressing my new action man in his new fireman outfit That fire engine back then was £45 which was big expense then.
Your "Holy Grail" declaration got me thinkin'. Wouldn't a Crusader Knights Action Man run have been great? Chain mail, full armour, a rack full of swords axes and a flail on the little rack instead of rifles. The trebuchet would have protected all of us from Barbie interference.
My Action Man holy grail is the special team missile assault!! I had a mint boxed one but sold it some years ago as it went for silly money then which I needed at the time!! So regret it as I can’t even find a loose one!! The fire tender is so rare that is stunning 😮😊
I've been reading action force broken alliances and so far it's been an awesome action pack read. I enjoy the world building elements of a post United States, how it doesn't skim over darker elements of war, and little hints of Orwellian corporate control that eerily resembles the real world.
Some lovely generosity from everyone.
Glad that you and Mr. Knight worked out the shipping logistics and that the DHL repack didn't damage your grail. Looking forward to that Emergency Fire Tender video.
Nice haul! The condition of that Emergency Fire Tender box is astonishing; awesome painting on it.

Beautiful piece that boxed fire tender 🙌
Thanks man. I've been watching your channel lately and really enjoying it, keep up the great work Theo!
@@AnalogToys Appreciate that dude! Let's try link up on a video sometime 👊
Ok THAT is an amazing toy!
Seeing that War Machine Punisher makes me think on what it will look like with a Desert Rat head lmao
Brooken Alliances is sooo good i got about 100 pages to go really good read so far cant wait to see how it ends
Wow.......................... That's like all your Christmases at once. am i jealous or what. 👌

Thanks mate!
I don't think I ever saw the fire tender in stores
Just remembered I had that book on my Amazon wish list. Went ahead and ordered it.
Awesome stuff Tony! You should make a video on the Action Man Firetender at some point!
Already working on it
I'm a bit young to know all of these things (I was born in 1989) but I had some Action Man figures myself, of course they were the 90's line, seeing some of these older toys makes me think on how much stuff there must be in this series.

Congratulations on such a fine purchase, Tony. That looks very pristine, including the box! I cannot wait to see you showcase this in a video. =)
That Emergency Fire Tender brought back so many memories. Back when I lived in South West London, I remember my brother getting one of those for Christmas.

I had my fire truck for 10 yrs now

Wow so cool 😎👍🏽 great to see the next videos of them 😀👍🏽👍🏽
Is the AM Fire Tender based on the same mold as the GiJoe Crash Crew Truck Mold? It's beautiful vintage box. Love the old Box Art from back then!
The graphics on the Fire Tender box and the game board are both still so bright and crisp, they look amazing.
Honored to be featured in an unboxing video! Cheers Tony 😅👍👍👍👊
Wow! Amazing toys. I’m also into board games. Wish I could try that game out. The fire tender though, love it.
Looking forward to your Action Force book review.
Tony, you have amazing patience, how could you hold on to boxes that size since Christmas and not get stuck in. Really enjoyed the action force SAS line episode I watched yesterday.

Wow just a amazing fire car , and the game nice , thanks for letting us all see it 👍

Absolutely amazing! I always find it so fun and satisfying to watch fellow toy collectors unbox grails. Thank you, sir, for sharing
this was a cool video, I love it when I see passionate collectors of vintage collectables finally get a hold of their Holy Grails. keep on keepin on Tony!
Laserpants, "€π¢¥ you and your Bratz car" ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 kick ass haul Tony, congrats
Wow, just wow! Amazing video and awesome gifts!

Lovely. Yeah, something about the smell of old cardboard. I love the collective smell of a good antique and collectable centre. My happy place.
I was a bit disappointed with the punisher-war machine. I hope they do an update on the figure.
Never seen one of those. Well done. There's an item that I remember having back in the '70's, that I've never seen since: It was a collection of, I think, 6 Action Man story books that came in a wooden box with a sliding lid.

Cannot wait for the Emergency Services video, Tony. 😁
You should do a stream where you play the AM game
the 12' line still has my interest, I ve never seen this truck before... wow!
good show bro.
When you unboxed the Action Man board game, it nearly brought tears to my eyes because I was recently able to find on eBay the original battle for the death star and battle for Hoth boardgames, from '77 & '80!

Man I love this channel, great job, lots of fun just to watch!!
Very nice piece congrats Tony can't wait for the video.
Nice to see a grown man get his obsession piece! What a glow that came from the camera!
Wahou! One of your best unboxing, this fire tender is a beauty and the box is incredible and in fantastic shape. Thank you for the link, I have just purchase the Action Force book.
Nice. That spider man might be my fav spider man done in ML. I need to get the AF novel but still recovering from series 3. Nice Peggy and Punisher too. That Action Man toy is awesome. Always fascinated by Action man though I’ve never collected them.
Awesome unboxing! Desert Rat has kept the BLVD LIT! White Potato 🥔 has ride out company! 🤣
Found my childhood one in the loft with the original box and remember the day mum and dad bought one each for me and my younger brother
Enjoyed this ... Thank you Tony !
Wow, amazing action man fire engine 😀 I had the Scorpion tank as a kid ( still in the loft) but never saw this one ever. Amazing.
I remember as a kid collecting the stars 21 at a time and waiting excitedly for the postie to come. Right now I'm waiting for Amazon to come with something rather larger. 😀
Totally awesomeness of a video Brother!! Thanks again for sharing Your passion and adventures from Toronto Ontario Canada 😀 👍 ❤️ 🌎❤️💫💥🥳🎉🎉👏👏👏👏🎉🎉💯💯💯💯
You got some great stuff Tony! :)
Congrats Tony! Happy for you man!
Wow, it’s amazing the box and fire tender are in such good condition
Great Episode ! Have Fun Playing
Great reaction to the Punisher War Machine figure gift !!! Big Punisher fan also ...
Very nice haul! That Action Man Fire Tender box looks in amazing condition, and that fire tender also looks really great!! Congratz on that grail!!

That fire tender looks brand new.
Amazing stuff Tony. 🔥
Amazing. I had the Action Man board game. Cost £1 from a car boot sale, it was pristine in condition. Keep on collecting!!
Wow Tony I never even knew the fire engine existed looking at the wheels look like same as land rover and trailer which I always wanted, but I never had can't wait to see the action man rescue teams 👏 now got me thinking about starting to collect action man 🤦♂️🤦♂️having found a few odds and ends in my attic (I did sell all my original action man to my cousins when I was 16 or 17 )

Man that box was in great shape.
Just to add
The time the fire truck and emergency sets came out
I was in fenwicks in Newcastle upon Tyne
There was a competition and you could enter after buying a action man product
The was a challenge of filling these 2 small buckets with openings in you had a small hose pipe to fill them the way you did was get the buckets spinning and every time the opening filled up with water if you filled them both in the given time I don’t remember you won a action man
I never forgot the this and winning and then dressing my new action man in his new fireman outfit
That fire engine back then was £45 which was big expense then.
Goog for you Tony can’t wait for the next video
That board game art is so stunning!
That board game is amazing!! I have the GI JOE Battleship game. Those kinds of items are always awesome to score.
Now that's an awesome fire truck!
Nice haul of awesome stuff!
Oh my god that fire tender is absolutely beautiful!......sooooo jealous!!! Lol
Great video and great collection of items
Your "Holy Grail" declaration got me thinkin'. Wouldn't a Crusader Knights Action Man run have been great? Chain mail, full armour, a rack full of swords axes and a flail on the little rack instead of rifles. The trebuchet would have protected all of us from Barbie interference.
Oh man… let’s see what’s in the box!!!
Im a huge 60s 70s Gi Joe collector,working on my 3rd medic currently..Awesome stuff
My Action Man holy grail is the special team missile assault!! I had a mint boxed one but sold it some years ago as it went for silly money then which I needed at the time!! So regret it as I can’t even find a loose one!! The fire tender is so rare that is stunning 😮😊
Congratulations on acquiring that gem of a collectible piece! Kudos to the guys who cut you that great deal. =^[.]^=
Now I suddenly dont feel as apprehensive about the gift I'm giving at Valacon where space is concerned. Great haul mate and that is a helluva grail.
Tony must have felt like 8 years old again when he opened those boxes
hello i just saw "james may, action man breaks the sound barrier" video, so i had to stop and take a look since it popped up on what to watch next.
I really like your displays and the Museum like set-up of your figures. I would really like to display my 1/6th scale Gi Joes like you have...
Must be like Christmas came early ! Neat .
I've been reading action force broken alliances and so far it's been an awesome action pack read. I enjoy the world building elements of a post United States, how it doesn't skim over darker elements of war, and little hints of Orwellian corporate control that eerily resembles the real world.
Nothing on Earth matches the aroma of an old, musky GI Joe footlocker!!
Amazing Tony!
Love getting holy grail items! I just got a couple myself
your user name is the motto i feel all the way to the marrow of my bones. i now live in a 6" collectors world and i feel like a piece of me has died.
Your a bloody legend tony I really enjoyed that hope your well catch up soon 👍🏻
Very cool, nice truck!
Pretty epic unboxing Tony
Epic unboxing!
