Jonathan's the ultimate nerd. Has been for years. He knows his Marvel, DC, manga, Star Wars et al. And it's great his wife has similar tastes.
I love that you can pause the video at just about any point in the episode and zoom around the background to see any number of incredible things they didn’t even get a chance to talk about. It’s like the toy collector’s ultimate cabinet of curiosities.
Not half!
There was a ‘blink and you’ll miss it’ moment where he points to a toy (IN BOX!) and says ‘there’s a transformers like toy’ and instantly moves on. I’m pretty sure that was a Soundwave-before-he-was-Soundwave. Ridiculous. I love it.
Jonathan's one of those ultimate collectors that we all aspire to be one day. His collection is his personality, and his personality comes out in his collection. Its individual, Fantastic to see it.
Wow that guy is Fat.. diabetes warning, obesity warning…
Will be a social welfare bludger when he get sick.. get rid of him..
All piad for by you and me ie bbc money...
Easier when you have millions in the bank

I think I enjoyed this more than any museum or gallery I've ever been to
As a tv presenter I went off Johnathan Ross years ago, but as a fellow toy collector, I could spend all day discussing toys with him. You gave him and his collection the attention they deserved - unlike Fiona Bruce on an Antiques Roadshow Toy special that was shown last month, in which she characteristically mocked him and gave him all of what, 5 mins airtime? My biggest regret was selling my 500 plus Action Man collection to Alan Hall....wish I'd never done it. Prices went up the moment I had sold them to him....if I ever become wealthy I shall buy up a shedload of mint items again....one can dream...
I think it was 3min 30s of Jonathan despite it being the lead in the Radio Times review and The Metro! It’s strange that action figure toys are still looked down upon on the Antiques Roadshow, they seem to prefer old stuffed bears and tin toys. The great thing about us being on UA-cam is we can dedicate an hour to a collection and try and go into some detail and it finds it’s audience. Thanks for watching.
I feel better about myself and my collection now, seeing Ross has created an entire civilization in his own home.
Knew he was a collector didn't;t realize how much of a comprehensive knowledge he had though pretty impressive was hoping he would mention Warren magazines with his Vampirella poster
40:00 RESPECT when he commissioned the piece and distributed the prints!
Actually loved this. I've obviously heard for years and years about how he's into comics and toys but I never knew fully to what extent, I wasn't expecting anything like this, and I still didn't get to see any comics, just awesome though. I reckon he probably loved having the chance to show it off a bit too.
This needs a sequel. Hopefully Jonathan agrees to do more in depth.
I'll take a weekly series if he's up to it.
Yep totally agree 👍
Absolutely
Totally love see more fascinating stuff infact should make a show for TV as well!!
This could easily be a trilogy…I’d love to check in twice a year if possible thank you.
I don't think Jonathan took a breath the whole episode!! If you want to know what passion looks like this is it. Incredible and good on him for living his best life.
Jonathan's passion is wonderful to see. Thank you for this video.
Thanks for watching!!
There's me thinking my hot wheels collection was getting out of control, amazing collection amazing to see all these toys.
Anime toy at 5:00 is Space Battleship Yamato (U.S. dub name Star Blazers), not sure of the iteration as there were feature films and a TV series (and later reboots which this isn't)
I was screaming this at the screen both times they brought it up lol
What a legend. Hard to find anyone as passionate about there collection anywhere.
👍👍👍Nice video lots of vintage toys
Jonathan is a collector too i love it, never would of guessed it.
Amazing. Never ever thought he was a collector and a massive one at that.
What a sound bloke. You can tell he genuinely enjoys being around ppl who also collect. Top video lads
Every time I learn a new thing about Jonathan Ross I love him more.
He makes a lovely coffee as well 👍
58:00 OH GOD... I did that too... ...Bought the 1985 reboot of Wacky Packages, and the store still had a straggler of 1970s "Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind" gum cards. I bought them, was riding my bicycle home... almost veered off the road, spitting out the CRUMBLING, BITTER DUST that had been the stick from the Close Encounters one lol. I stopped my bike and laughed at myself.
I live in the states and my first introduction to Jonathan Ross was from a small clip of him on the Nirvana documentary: Live, Tonight, Sold Out. I never would have ever imagined that he was a fellow toy collector and artist. Mr. Ross comes across as a very passionate and dedicated collector. His collection showcases his keen eye for the art of vintage toys. Through his collection (as well as his own artistic contributions) he is providing a much needed service of preserving a great history. This was a brilliant video, well done!
My respect for Jonathan Ross's toy collection and his knowledge has gone off the roof. Amazing how the person you least expect to be a toy collector is the uber toy collector.
I have just discharged an offensive pong.
Money
If I was earning millions of quid a year and had a vast office to display it all I’d be the uber toy collector! 😂
I knew he was a comic collector but this is off the scale and he collects micronauts like me
Absolutely glorious!!! A nerds dream come true 😍
It really is!
Wow, this is a great episode!
Thanks for watching
This is the longest I’ve ever watched Jonathan Ross.
Knew this was going to be good when he rocked up in the Rocky 4 tracksuit 😂
If I had Jonathan Ross’s money I’d be the toy shop assassin! Fair play to him, what a lovely fella
He’s a top chap! Thanks for watching
I knew Jonathan Ross was a comics guy but this was a lovely surprise! I recently purchased the marvel four part 'x men and the micronauts '. Never had any of the toys, though I do have a microman that wears a Godzilla outfit. Must have purchased it about ten years ago.
I remember Jonathan Ross introducing me to adult anime late night on UK TV. The kids today have a lot to thank this man for.
I’m no toy collector but I seriously enjoyed watching that
I think The Phantom is as big as it is in Australia mainly because it seemed to be almost always be the comic book you would receive inside if you brought a showbag from any show/carnival, etc
Truly brilliant! Gail Porter, Keith Lemon/Leigh Francis and Idris Elba are other celeb toy collectors and if you could book them as guests, it would be great!
Would love to see an episode with Leigh Francis. Jonathon's collection is INCREDIBLE!!!
This was such a fun watch! Didn't know Jonathan Ross was THAT big of a nerd until now.
the diorama on the shelf early on is from ... space battleship yamato. i recognised matsumoto's character designs, and the katakana title is spottable.
Congrats Joe, looked like an amazing day!
Thanks Dan!
Amazingly unpretentious guy! Huge collection to share and not a hint of snobbery. Plus the shout-outs to artists like Ken Kelly and AcroRay. Pretty impressed by his own customs. ( a lot of toy collectors could learn from this)
100% his customs are awesome. Welcoming and made us completely at home straight away.
A great distilled collection of the great eras of cool toys.
That Ken Kelly painting is awesome.
Wow, possibly the best video I've seen on you tube. Credit must go to the amazing production and the great Leicester team for actually letting him speak at length. I remember his anime program on channel 4 about 20 years ago when no one had heard of animie. Changed my life. Impossible not to instantly want an entire micronauts collection now. I thought I had heard of everything, I was wrong. Downside of such a great video is that micronauts prices are now virtually doubled.... sad face. Didn't he say he has another office? Part 2 please?
Thanks James 👍🎥
Such a great idea to customise the Barbie helicopter with the Batman colour scheme, perfect fit
Amazing isn’t it! Love that sort of repurposing of toys
A bonus TSOT episode - this has suddenly become the best Boxing Day ever!!
This was the gateway to ToyShop on tour videos. Such a great series and love this video. Wossy’s collection is awesome.
Wow collecting royalty
You pair are going up in the world
Don't mind me, just rewatching this video for the 4th time. 👋
Good to hear 👍
Ridiculous!!!! What an episode!! I genuinely had no idea Jonathan Ross was a toy collector, how did this pass me by! I mean what collection 😮.
Sooo many lines I didn’t know anything about or even existed! Crazy knowledge on Jonathan too! Loved it 👏👏
He also traded comics with Eminem 🤣
I met Ken Kelly, the painter of the custom Micronauts oil painting a few years ago. He was an incredibly kind and generous man. He saw and fell in love with a plastic skull that I had painted to look like rusted metal and I was proud that he purchased it and displayed it in his studio. I was saddened to heat if his death.
I still have a number of his trading cards from the 90's I think. Fantastic artist.
Absolutely fantastic episode. Brand new sub here from the States. Didn’t know what kind of gift the UA-cam algorithm gave me until a few minutes in. Jonathan Ross and his collection are fascinating. My new favorite channel. Cheers.
Welcome aboard!
I love that he paints, makes and creates too and not just a collector. Brill Elvis portrait by Vic hahaa. Great show, better than Channel 5 top 50 toys of 1983.
Glad you enjoyed it! That Elvis portrait is amazing!
Fantastic vid, very entertaining 🙏
Would love another part if Jonathan was keen, would love to see Jonathan’s comic collection too!
That's an awesome collection, sort of room my collection would look like if I had the space :P
Great scoop to have a chat with Rossy…
Brilliant 👍👏👏👏👏👏
He’s a top man! Thanks for watching
@@leicestervintagetoyshop I’ve just watched this in full again today, and it’s absolutely fascinating, Rossy’s collection and knowledge is just off the scale.
I am curious though - How did this come about? is Rossy a fan of the channel?
Did he contact you, did you contact him?
I feel he needs to do a few more guest appearances on your videos or should do a reverse where he comes to see you at the shop 👍 😁
Jonathan has met some of the biggest names in film & music but still takes time to show his collection with such passion & childlike excitement.
Beautiful ✌🏾
I get the feeling Mr Ross had as much fun showing it off as you did admiring it. What a collection!
WHAT A GREAT EPISODE. HE REALLY KNEW HIS TOY HISTORY AMAZING 👏
Oh wow! Never seen your channel but this is huge to get Jonathon Woss, was my favourite presenter on TV
Welcome aboard!
Amazing, he seems like a really nice guy who obviously knows what he’s talking about, that was one hell of a collection and let’s face it if we had the means who wouldn’t have an “office “ like that!
He’s a really nice guy and is enthusiastic and knowledgeable as well. Thanks for watching!
MY GOD. What a collection. What a show. Made my Christmas - thank you guys xxx
Amazing man , Amazing collection. His knowledge needs downloading into a computer before it's lost. His knowledge of films even from his days of channel 4s "Strange picture show..." is addictive . Imagine Ross, Tarantino, Guillermo and Burton talking around a table .
Galactic Patrol Lensman (23:45) was a 1984 feature and TV series. It had a lot of original mecha design that made for a bit different toys, models, etc. Got a bit of attention for as mentioned, being based on a US science fiction book property rather than manga. Though I think at least as much publicity for hybrid cel animation and computer graphic space ships.
Jonathan has such a beautiful unique collection, and his knowledge of Japanese Toys is really vast and interesting. Thankyou guys for making this. I knew he was a massive Star Trek TOS, TNG, DS9 and Voyager fan, but never knew of his Japanese animè obsession.
47:49 Nice to see the Wolverine from 'The Classic Marvel Figurine Collection' on the shelf - I think that might be the one we sent him when I worked on it at Eaglemoss.
This is unreal..love the fact hes got the first issue of 2000ad framed in his toilet..feckin awesome Jonathan..!!
I'm now gonna call my style of collecting,buying and displaying Jonathan Rossing it
Excellent! Cheers 🍻 👏 ✌️ 🥂 🍻
Amazing had no idea Jonathan was such a collector such a nerd love it !! Nothing better than when nerds get rich 🤣
Schooled by Jonathan Ross = Priceless. Such knowledge and passion for his amazing collection. Great video!
Thanks for watching!
3rd time watching this episode. Yep still brilliant
Thanks Chris.
What an entertaining hour, was like hanging out with Jonathan and his toys.
I remember being at the Watchung, NJ Toys R Us... had Tetsujin 28 in my hand, clearanced to $50. ...I put it down and bought a $7 Mini Laserion instead.
V___V
Kind of the same story when I had held a TMNT "Scratch" lol.
Kudos to the cameraman!
What an amazing Microman/Micronaut collection!
This is what collecting is all about, an extension of what interests you in life and what importance you draw from it, exhibited so you can share with others what you find so intruiging about it. Whether its toys or any other form of popular culture, I'm glad there are people out there that have such a fascination and passion for such things, I hope Johnathan (and any other collectors) do more videos like this I could watch this all day!
Have a look at some of our other videos in our ‘Toy shop on tour’ series. We hope you enjoy them. Lots more to
Come in 2023
@@leicestervintagetoyshop Working through them as we speak! Absolutely love it, you guys couldn’t have done a better job. Excited to see what 2023 has in store for you 🙌🏻
@@Dan_wiles awesome!
Please let us visit Johnathan! It’s so important to see your presence for all toy collectors. I am totally blown away by the collection and passion.…hopefully we can see much more of him, might be nice if you could slow him downs a bit so we can see the figures a bit more before moving on so quickly.
Wow, just wow...his collection is just another level! I knew he was an avid Japanese toy collector, but didn't realise the extent of his collection or the knowledge and passion he has for it, which is evident to see and really comes across in your video. Fantastic guys, well done! 👍👏😍
Sensational video!
Thanks Marc!
12:04 Space Battleship Yamato
Just to answer the question about Popy @ 24:40 - They were a company, but operated as a subsidiary of Bandai, producing more "action" oriented toys and figures in the 70's, while Bandai was basically only doing model kits (until they rebranded everything all to Bandai in the early 80's). Loved this video! Was fun seeing some peices I helped Jonathan get, actually on display! SUBSCRIBED 🥸 Great work guys!!
Thanks TTB
Question from a random viewer/ Micronauts fan: I could be wrong but in a video, you may had said the Henshin cyborg wasn’t the first clear body figure. Was that true and what was it? (fan of all things translucent)
This is so awesome. I definitely like Jonathan Ross a lot more now
Jonathan should go on mastermind with this as his category he would ace it ! What a collection and passion
Lovely little surprise for Jim Moir/Vic Reeves fans too 👍
Well I did not see that coming, although I knew Rossy was into the obscure and loved his Japanese culture! What an incredible opportunity to see inside his man "cave" or apparently "office" in this instance! Who else went "noooooooo" when that toy hit the floor, only to be reassured by Joe saying its head was supposed to come off! Dull and dreary outside but this brightened my day!
Thanks for watching! No toys were harmed in this particular episode of Toy shop on tour! Unlike series two episode one……😬
great video! jonathan is a true enthusiast, very knowledgeable and clearly proud to show off his superb collection
Wow just brilliant to see that he is a big collecter of toys and whst a collection of Japanese toys some of the starblazers I would love to have I think my eyes would wonder as well enjoying them all
This was a fantastic watch!!
Thanks for watching! More to come in 2023!!
‘I don’t buy modern toys…’
HASLAB Sentinel on the table. 😂😂😂😂😂
What a great video. You guys couldn't get a word in edgeways. I met Jonathan years ago (mid 80's) and he was a real pleasure to talk to.
He could have talked for days about that incredible collection. Wow.
This was wonderful. Jonathan's long been known for being a right old nerd, bless but I wasn't expecting him to be such a hardcore Micronauts guy! And Lensman! Plus I laughed out loud when he showed off the Cy-Kill model kit, wanna see that thing built!
So yeah, loved this tour through his collection, just lovely to see.
Jonathan Ross has incredible taste in vintage toys. What a marvelous collection. Thank you for sharing.
He really does! Thanks for watching!
What an incredible collection! It's takes a lot of work and dedication to source, collect and display a stunning collection like that.
It's almost museum like 👍
Thank you for sharing and thank you Johnathon for talking us through your individual unique items.
Thanks for watching!
WoW 🤩 so much fun to watch !!
heard him talk about diaclone once and was already impressed of his knowledge, but man that collection is amazing. Truly a toy lover.
awesome to hear the stories and facts. cool toys. before my time a bit but i like them
I loved my Major Matt Mason, so few remember him these days. My tracked rover was played with incessantly, eventually it wore out to where it wouldn't stay in high gear.
So that's the reason I can't find a spare Micronaunt Time Traveller hand, coz Jonathan has got them all!
Stunning collection, could spend all day in there!
He really sounds awesome he really so knowegelbe with his geeky knoweledge
I knew Jonathan ross liked toys, but I didn't know it was to this extent. I love watching the Christmas toy countdown he presented a few years back
I had seen Jonathan mention his comic collection and he's often talked about his martial art film collection but I had no idea he has a stunning toy collection too. I think a lot of us would do the exact same thing if we could. I can imagine you'd need a series in order to showcase each interest he has. It's not just the collections, it's the knowledge he has too.
There is certainly more to see. One day maybe!?
wow, what a fantastic opportunity to meet JR and explore his amazing toy collection! Nice one! Btw, I love Joe's t-shirt :D
Thanks Ryan!
