There better be some fart noises in this video, I've had a rough couple of weeks. My Mom was in the hospital for the better part of a month.
Do the never ending story the animated series
So, if the trademark ran out, does anyone own the Inhumanoids still? If not, is it going to the public domain anytime soon?
Where can I stream allepisodes on UA-cam, anyone has a link?
How are you trying to kill somebody? Better only your topic than both THAT AND your ad. Unsubscribing. This is how I lost my second father uncle on an August 8 one year
Inhumanoids was like an 80's death metal album cover come to life
😂🤘
Seems about right
Look up d'compose by engorged
Hell yea dude🤘
"you know what kids love? Cthulhu Mythos!!" Decompose is on the list of "cartoons that scarred me" along with "Shipwreck being dragged down a hallway by grey goo that used to be his friends" and "Optimus Prime dying".
oh man that synthoid reveal was serious nightmare fuel.
For me, it was "The Creeping Horrak" from He-Man! Just the concept of them having a super aggressive black, gooey moss that took over your house and tried to swallow and smother you was so scary to me
I sort of remember the shipwreck one is the clip on youtube?
@@queenflash2012the entire gi joe arah series is on Tubi &for free!
@@queenflash2012 Check There’s No Place like Springfield: Pt 1 | G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero | S01 | E54 | Full Episode and There’s No Place like Springfield: Pt 2 | G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero | S01 | E55 | Full Episode They are both on UA-cam.
I loved the dramatic scene in that episode when his wife and daughter betray him and he gets so emotional. They even censored that part for a while, I guess to not traumatize kids, but they made it cheaper by Shipwreck entering and Polly already destroying the syntoids (and seeing the uncensored scene now, it isn't as dramatic as I remembered but still, they tried to put drama and it was nice.
De-Compose turning people with a touch was mind blowing as a little kid. Very disturbing.
A neighbor kid owned Tendril and De-Compose's huge oversized action figures, they were so cool!
I remember that freaking me out.
@@markcastellanet9672 I loved the episodes that included D'Composes' undead underworld along with those creepy ass skeletal giant bats! Chris Latta was one hell of a voice actor btw.
I remember my cat was terrified of Tendril.
D’Compose was an alligator monster profiling Curly and a zombie army attached.
Woke up screaming one night in 1986 because of watching Sandra Shore getting D'Composed. This show still hits something primordial and deep in me.
Yeah flint dille is really into traumatizing kids.
I remember bringing D'Compose to my third-grade show and tell. I'll never forget the shocked reaction from the teacher and some of my classmates, including cries of "Gross!" A little too metal for mainstream tastes, I guess.
Lame :p
Glad to hear this. Brings back vivid memories of my own!
Had the Inhumanoids VHS from 1988 until it was eaten by the VCR in 2013. Pity.
The release of Decompose in the first episode was severely disturbing, even by today's standards. It was freaky, but AWESOME! Inhumanoids and Exo-Squad need reboots SO BADLY! Such great stories.
Yeah, I loved this show, especially dcompose. It was the kind of stuff kids actual want, gross scary stuff.
I totally agree about both shows!
I loved Decompose, because Starscream
Pacific Rim reads pretty exactly like an Inhumanoids movie without the license.
Exo-squad! I caught it so rarely early mornings, but I loved it.
Inhumanoids and Visionaries are two of the most underrated cartoons of the 80's from Sunbow.
The Inhumanoids opening theme has been living in my head rent free from the moment I first heard it!
Me to
The thumbnail triggered it for me😂
Absolutely agree 100%
Inhumanoids! Inhumanoids! The evil that lies wiiiiiiiiiiithin!
Really hope this makes a comeback someday--the premise has serious potential, even for modern times.
So glad I grew up in the 80s. We had the best toys and shows. This show was awesome. Essentially Cthulhu for kids. Too bad it didn’t stick around but glad that they later made shows of other adult brands I loved like Rambo and Robocop
Actually, The Inhumanoids did make an appearance on Jem. In one episode, Decompose is seen raging on TV. I'm not sure if they meant him to be a cartoon character in the Jem universe, or if Decompose was in the midst of detroying a city while an oblivious Jem and the Holograms performed vapid pop songs.
Or it could have just been sloppy editing. 😂 Sunbow was stretched pretty thin and their outsourced studios were not always meticulous about quality control.
I like to think it's the second one because I just think the idea of two completely different genres happening in the same world to be interesting
Imagine if someone made Inhumanoids into a videogame, Done right it would amazing could play like Monsterhunter with a dark cosmic horror vibe.
Or another version of Rampage but with Mortal Kombat dreams
Imagine it in a style similar to Transformers War for Cybertron and Fall of Cybertron.
Yeeesss! The only toy line I actually wanted turned into a movie franchise! Just imagine the kaiju sized CGI horror of Decompose!
I loved my Inhumanoids toys. These guys & the western Spiral Zone... they were awesome!
Bring back Inhumanoids!
BUT give them better heroes PLEASE
INHUMANOIDS felt like a Bert I. Gordon cartoon. Heros in Iron Man suits fighting giant monsters. The long narrative storyline was great. Sandra Shore was very nice.
Wasn't she voiced by Lady Jaye?
Noone can simply describe the intoxicating smell of a brand new, out of the box Earth corps figure. It was great!
As a kid I remember thinking scary but interesting this show was. The people changing would blow mind.
Man, the show used to creep me out. I absolutely loved how it was a horror cartoon, which was way more fun than just a Sunday morning half hour.
I was just old enough to understand what it means to decompose when I saw this show, and that made it so much more terrifying.
This was one of my favorite shows when I was a kid. It was almost like a cartoon for adults with the drama and storylines (IIRC). I loved the toyline even more. Unfortunately I didnt take very good care of my toys when I was a kid and I beat them up pretty bad. Inhumanoids are fetching big money. Much like most of the toys from my youth. I was a child of the 80s.
The show was really good. Still holds up. We did get a great deal of cool toy based programming and movies as 80s kids. You probably were rough on them like many kids, but the Inhumanoids were notoriously bad for breaking and having issues. Problems with plastics getting brittle and some of them getting weird residues. Much of the 1980s plastic didn't hold up great, but Inhumanoids is almost as bad as Dino Riders and Silverhawks for having extensive damage that was the fault of the materials. That is one of the reasons they fetch so much on the secondary market.
“Jem and the Inhumanoids” has the potential to be the greatest cartoon of all time!! 🎸 💀
As I well know, can't stay in a rock band forever. Need to go onto that second career. 😅
I love the creepy designs of the INHUMANOIDS.
I loved Inhumanoids as a kid. I had a bunch of the toys too, but Decompose was the best toy ever! Underneath his ribcage was this soft red plastic that felt like literal guts. There's been nothing like Inhumanoids ever since. It was a legit horror show for kids that refused to pull its punches.
My childhood was the 80s and I'm so happy it was I still collect transformers and he man but I had these as a toy and had a blast! Such a great time to be a kid!! I wish they bring these back again!
Not only did I never never know this was a thing as a kid, I dont even remember the toys on the shelves .... but also I still have never watched it even after learning about this a decade ago so I think i'm gonna spend the next few days and watch both this and Jayce and the wheeled warriors and see what I missed as a kid.
It was on Sunday mornings. And for a short time.
It's possible that you either lived in a market that didn't air it, or you didn't watch local indy stations on Sunday mornings when it was on.
Oh, I haven't forgotten -- I own the DVD set. This has got to be the most horrific cartoon ever sold to kids, and it's freakin' cool. It was nifty to see that thanks to scuzzy reporter Hector Ramirez, this cartoon exists in the same universe as G.I. Joe, Transformers, and Jem.
And 'RoboCop'!
I mean Transformers proved that. Cobra Commander appearing in season 3. Plus the character of Merissa Faireborn being canonically the daughter of Flint and Lady Jaye from GIJoe.
Right. And D'Compose made a cameo on a news program on tv in a tv shop on Jem and the Holograms
@@dinosoid2000 Yeah, but that was just two shows. Hector tied ALL FOUR shows together.
@@derekmason1881 Yeah, but that was just two shows. Hector tied ALL FOUR shows together.
The creation of Nightcrawler scared the shit out of me when i was a kid. I loved it.The toys were dope to boot.
The Gagoyle was chilling for me!
I remember seeing the Decompose toy at a Toys-R-Us when I was very little. Some other kid had opened the package it was in and left it standing like it had broken itself out. That sight scared the crap out of me.
Inhumanoids was barely on my radar back then, but really enjoy seeing them show up and learning about it now. Thank you!
I always compare Inhumanoids to the Centurions as both shows featured a group of scientists that wore body armor exo suits to fight evildoers, AWESOME!!
I cannot stress how much I loved the Inhumanoids as a kid. The toys were rarely seen in the UK but I rented the VHS of the 'movie' relentlessly from the local rental shop in my home town....and bought it when the place shut down! I still have it!
My only experience with Inhumanoids was a three episode cartoon VHS video. The episodes were G.I. Joe/Action Force series 1 episode 25 Where the Reptiles Roam. The Inhumanoids episode cannot remember been over 35 years seen I have seen it. The Transformers episode series 2 episode 46 Starscreams Brigade.
All cool episodes filled with action and adventure. So after watching this video I will be taking Dan's advice and find those episodes of Inhumanoids.
I had the exact same vhs as a kid. I had no idea what Inhumanoids was but it was far more dark and graphic than the other two shows!
Oh yeah, I remember watching this as a kid. The toys were much bigger than the Toys R Us catalog would have you believe. The show was indeed disturbing and scary at times, but I always looked forward to watching it even though I can’t really remember anything specific about the plot. 😅
It was a good thing this show was programed for Saturday mornings or i definitely would have had trouble sleeping if it were in the evening!
5:55 Jem and The Inhumanoids
Finally something to rival "Barbenheimer".
Loved this cartoon, the story was mindblowing for me as a kid. The mixture of creatures and alliances to fight against a greater evil, the role of greedy and power hungry humans helping that same evil, it was just too good to last. I still love that the series has a closure wich is more than all other cartoon series ever had!
I _absolutely loved this show._ I watched as many episodes as I was able to find, and got as many of the figures as I could find. I still have Redlen the Redwood on my windowsill so the light pump catches the sun.
Shows like _Inhumanoids_ and _Spiral Zone_ were two of my absolute favorites as a kid, and actually helped save my sanity and make me feel like _I wasn't alone_ out there. Shows like these genuinely made me feel like there were actually _other kids out there like me_ and I wasn't all alone... there were other kids somewhere out there with similar interests, or they wouldn't be making something like this, other kids who were interested in something darker and with more of an edge than just more goofy garbage like _Filmation's Ghostbusters._
Just a few years later I would discover Lovecraft and Arthur Machen and William Hope Hodgson and other Horror writers, and things like the _Call of Cthulhu_ Role-Playing Game, and it finally clicked that I _wasn't_ just a lone freakish weirdo the way I'd always felt while I was constantly being mocked and beaten up in school... I finally realized that I was actually part of a _whole community of freakish weirdos,_ and we _definitely weren't alone!_ 😁
It certainly didn't stop the mockery or the beatings, but it did give me some comfort in knowing that I wasn't all alone.
Loved the Inhumanoids! I had a lot of the toys and hated that it got cancelled. The first pitch looked super interesting with D. Compose as a hero? I watched the show again not too long ago and I was still impressed by the story and the how dark it got. Still love it and it fits in with shows like Spiral Zone too that had a bit more going on with it than normal
Oh _Hell_ yes, _Spiral Zone!_ _Inhumanoids_ and _Spiral Zone!_
I was absolutely a member of the target demographic for The Inhumanoids. I remember this series quite fondly. It is one of my favorites.
Every time I read a GI Joe or Transformers comic I also like to imagine that The Inhumanoids are still out there somewhere lurking just below the surface ready to rise again some day.
I was in that target demographic, and one of those who were traumatized by Decompose mutating people. Man even the logo scared the heck out of me! I was really afraid that a monster hand would break through cracks in the pavement and grab me.
I never saw the show, but I scored a Redsun figure from a school raffle. I was mesmerized by the eyes. First time i had ever seen (what would be known as light piping) in a toy. The bright, emerald green was like looking into another world to my 7 year old eyes.
Light piping is *still* pretty damn cool and not used enough!!
Yeah, I love the effect. Especially in the star wars power of the force jawas eyes. Agreed, it should be incorporated more in toy designs.
This was my favorite cartoon as a kid. I am so mad at my younger self for getting rid of all my action figures.
Good lord, I watched this at age 5, screwed my imaginations up. Then I come to class, no one else seems traumatized as I was.
I want to watch now haha
Never forgotten by myself. I still love this toy line.
Sadly I never had any of them. If I did the big monsters would fight He-Man or the Centurions
Love learning about cartoons and toys that came before my time. Thanks for all the great videos!
Inhumanoids is a series that I missed out on in my childhood but discovered and loved as an adult; I have a lot of respect for how shocking this show was (made even more powerful by the excellent animation) and how much it still holds up. The three main monsters are such great characters and play off each other so well that I would have been fine if they had been the protagonists of the show instead of the humans!
Just went to start watching the show after enjoying This video and there Really is alot of Screams, Yells and Battle Cries in just the first episode alone, looking forward to the rest of it.
😄👍
A series truly ahead of it’s time. Not a day goes by that I don’t wish it is brought back.
I actually just rewatched this series recently, and it's surprisingly way more interesting and dark for a kid's show than I remember. I quite liked it and loved the monster designs from it.
Very well done! I loved the Inhumanoids show and if there ever was a series that needed a new modern toy re-release it would be Inhumanoids. With all the advances in toy making, a new Inhumanoids "classics" line would be epic. Thanks again.
Oh god, the theme tune to that show became a screensaver for my mind for many years
One of the most daring cartoons and storylines. It's my jam
I sleep better at night knowing that all my favorite 80s voice actors has staches.
I’m not sure who’s a better salesman for sponsored videos.
Dan Larson does an amazing job and makes me wanna buy whatever he’s selling but if you go over to screen crush and watch Ryan , that guy definitely HAS IT!
I remember this one and the spectral knights. Both cartoons entertained me as good vs evil theme battle with the world hanging in the balance.
Had Inhumanoids continued, we probably would've saw More Inhumanoids and mutants
My bro and I had most of this series! He had the Earth Core dudes, and Decay. I had Magnacore & Tendril😎. We loved this toyline & cartoon show. Really was disappointed it didn't last😔. Could've been another legacy.
They really need to be brought back and given the transformers treatment . Like new characters and factions like transformers did with then having factions and sub-factions with their own gimmicks .
This would be very cool. After the release of the Sail Barge Khetanna, I wrote an article about what big thing might be next for Hasbro, and Inhumanoids featured heavily. I'd love it if they scaled the humans to 3.75" scale, made beefed-up mech suits for them to go in (not just have the helmet come off the suit to show a tiny li'l head), and released ALL the Inhumanoids, Gagoyle and Sslither included. They'd look AMAZING with modern sculpting, painting, and articulation.
@@Beedo_Sookcool They could do so much stuff with then like warhammer with the whole armies and painting ( mostly the armies )
and maybe a new comic series with the thee main inhumanoids spliting up and starting a war with each other taking diferent parts of the planet as their bases and creating new monsters to serve then , with the earthcorps recruiting new members to face then. ( this part is just a sugestion but in some media the imhumanids and earhcorp have alied thenselves with the heroes and villains from visionaries so it would be cool if they were available armies ). what do you think ?
@@joaolucasnascimentoleite2831 Sound like cool directions to me! No reason all of these and more couldn't be explored, if a revival were to come along, I think.
@@Beedo_Sookcool Fair point bro
When I was a kid I had the Metlar and Magnacore toys. The cartoon helped foster my love for monsters that I've never grown out of.
The fact they were unsupervised due to "low" toy sales explains so much about the inhumanoids.
The show was insane in all the best ways
Inhumanoids was unforgettable! Loved it as soon as it came out! It was unlike anything else and the toys were stand outs. I was the target audience in 1985 as I was 6 years old. This was awesome thank you for giving us a follow up. I hope to see Inhumanoids toys in the store.
About time someone did something about my all time favorite toy when I was a kid inhumaniod thank you
One of the coolest series ever. I grew up in a good era.
Inhumanoids! Inhumanoids!
The Evil that lies within----
Down in the fiery depths of the earth where nightmares begin!"
Who can stop 'em?
Earth Corps, I hope!"
Inhumanoids! Inhumanoids!
The Evil that lies within
I STILL have my Tendril and De-Compose in a box in my closet LOL. I always wanted this and SPIRAL ZONE to cross over! Coulda been LEGENDARY!
Yep definitely in the demo. Heard about the show, but didn't get to see it until a few years ago and loved it.
I had one episode of this in vhs as a kid (along with an episode of transformers and G I Joe/ Action Force). At the very end of the episode two characters are watching the birth of some blue creatures with one eye, two legs and a huge mouth. One character states that the creatures are deadly from birth, leading to one creature tearing the limbs off one of its siblings and devouring the eye and brains of another. That was screwed up for a kids show!
i *ADORED* These Monsters from this Show/Toyline! i just wish they had never lost the rights... maybe we'd have a live action movie by now! or at the VERY LEAST Re-Productions of the Toys!
I live outside the US I was only 3 years old when the Inhumanoids came out, but my aunt from the States sent me VHS recordings of Saturday morning cartoons in the early 90's. Inhumanoids was one of the cartoons I saw in those VHS tapes and it made me feel uncomfortable as a child because of the horror elements.
I can't believe I don't remember this at all. I was 8 in 1986 and this is exactly the kind of thing I would have loved, and still do. I'm a little bummed out now but thanks for the video.
Loved the show. It was first true move into horror stories and I loved it.
Dad only had the Metador figure (I probably didn't spell that correctly). But he appeared during a fight between GI Joe and Cobra, flipping HISS tanks and knocking the Dragonfly out of the air. Major Bludd and Lt. Falcon had to work together to force him back into his lava sanctuary. Yes my backyard battles were interesting. I personally would have loved the creepy factor of this series.
I was wondering how this cartoon passed me by as a kid, but if it was Sunday in my market, I would've been in church. [Personally, I missed a lot of Saturday morning cartoons too because Saturdays I went to see my dad.] I gotta check out the episodes.
Beyond the visuals, a line from the first episode has been stuck in my brain for almost 40 years now:
“…were they from outer space, mutations from toxic waste, or a mass illusion caused by the stress of modern living.” 😅
Look at Dapper Dan all suited up and matching beard to shirt!
Never knew of this show when I was a kid in Sweden, but would probably have liked it.
Man I remember watching this with my parents Sunday mornings (that’s when it aired for us). I had Tendril, got him for $3 at a local garage sell and gave him to my younger cousin when I grew up. Kinda wish I still had it. Awesome video!
Not sure if I was the "target" demograph, but I remember watching this at wayyyyyy too young of an age, and absolutely loved it
The timing of that "...can you imagine?" joke was especially hilarious.
Discount and liquidation stores were blowing these toys out at three to ten dollars. Bravestarr, Wheeles Warriors, Laser Tag, and much more too!
Jem and the Inhumanoids? Truly outrageous!
I remember this thing it was gruesome but I just had to watch each episode because I wanted to know what will happen next. I even remember one thing that had a crystal stomach and people could be seen getting dissolved by the acid.
I'd watch Jem and the Inhumanoids!
Somehow this one flew right under my nose, I don’t recall ever seeing them. Looks pretty badass though.
Underrated Show.
I was a GI Joe kid (and adult) but I enjoy watching these videos about the stuff I did not get as a kid, especially when I hear it did $80m in business.
This show freaked me out as a kid. I already had an irrational fear of giant monsters, and add in one of them that can turn you into a monster really hit me right in the fear.
Inhumanoids were great and enjoyed them as a kid and thanks for posting it...but the epic story of the Exo-Squad deserves its own video...
I vividly remember the Inhumanoids. I was in college, but my friends and I definitely noticed it. We wondered how on earth it even got made.
I loved this show so much.
we didn’t have a lot of toys growing up, but there was one christmas where i got metlar and my brother got d’compose. those 2 toys are on my own personal “grail” list of collectibles to get one day.
Sometimes while watching these videos they get to the end and I'm instantly overcome with the feeling of "what? It's already over?" Thankfully at this point there's getting to be enough episodes that I can't remember what is in all of them so I can always just look for an older one I haven't watched enough to remember completely.
😄👍
I loved this cartoon!!!! It was gone too soon. I was only 8 years old but I grew up on 80's horror flicks and I thought it was just awesome.
YES!!!!! Excellent video! I use to love this series and I always felt it was incredibly underrated, I still have my Tendril toy!
Man, I loved this program and still do!
Inhumanoids was broadcast by Super Channel somewhere in the 80's/90's in their Supertime cartoon/kid's show program. It was completely different to the rest including G.I. Joe, Robotech, Captain Harlock and the Queen of a Thousand Years, Photon, Macron 1 and the like.
I always remembered that scream from the theme song....at 48 years old, I'm now finding out it was Chris Latta...and it makes so much sense
DE-COM-POOOSE! Loved that show growing up. Still have Redlin from my childhood toys.
Thanks for unlocking a memory. I’d forgotten about this one.
And ROBOTIX!!! I miss that one!!
