I remember getting the plush Numbuh 4 at my local Dollar General as a kid. I remember the parachute not working quite well at all, but I mostly just used it for pretend. I can only imagine that the toys went to discount retailers once the toyline reached the end of its life. I also remember at some point either cutting or pulling Numbuh 4's arm open and covering it up with some loose metal wire for... some reason lol. Crazy to see the prices for these things now!
I didnt even know there was a toyline until i seen it mentioned on TVTropes. The show was practically tailor made for a toyline and its a shame it didnt make it very far.
It's a shame this toyline never went through and some of the things got cancelled. And it's also a shame that some of the released stuff is *SO DANG EXPENSIVE!!!* Seriously, seeing these toys on Ebay costing more money is fricking barbaric as hell!!!
so excited to see someone cover this! knd is one of my all-time favorite shows and i’ve been kind of privately documenting the merch since around 2015. it seems like despite the large amount of stuff that exists, a lot of secondary items were produced in lower numbers like the skidood- series 5-7 of micros don’t come up quite as often as the rest, there’s an expansion pack for the trading card series with that same ratio on top of a completely cancelled second expansion, and there’s also a second dvd volume that is excessively way more expensive than the first because not even mr. warburton could find a copy when it came out (though cartoon network also randomly rereleased deadstock excess copies of the disk at one point 10+ years ago?). i’m so sad about all the cancelled micros, they’re probably my favorite of the line and i would’ve loved to have 86 and the delightful children. i’d love to see you look into more of these niche cartoon lines in the future too (:
Yes please do more videos on obscure cartoon toy lines! I love collecting these kinds of lesser known figure lines and while I don’t own any of the KND one’s, it was still a treat seeing a video go in-depth into one of these lines.
8:34 oh sweet I found three different sets of these at Dollar General back in the day. Still have the mini figures, the Count Spankulot set, The set with the Lice Queen and the set with Battle Ready Armor of Numbah 5s sister. Was her name Cree.
This vid unlocked an old core memory of mine. I vividly remember buying some KND toys either at Dollar Tree or Family dollar. Tho I never once saw any advertising for em. Great vid pls do more obscure cartoon toy lines. I vote for Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go! To be next. Another very rare set of toys with limited releases.
I still have my toys from my childhood! I remember seeing the whole line, which I'm guessing was a toysrus exclusive since I never saw them for sold anywhere else. I had both the collector sets as well as the first 4 waves of the micros, and always wanted the playset with Father as well as the larger sized figures, but they were apparently too expensive for my mom at the time. They're all definitely quite expensive now, and my grails
Fantastic video man hope you make more videos like these as toyline like these aren’t cover at all by the bigger toy reviewing channels. Also man this have to be the coolest canceled toylines
Honestly I just blame marketing especially around this era. I feel if there was more of a push in marketing and actually getting people’s attention on the toy line with as many ads and commercials. These would’ve absolutely sold way better and we could’ve saw some of the other waves of toys from this line get made. It genuinely just frustrates me the effort wasn’t there. I really enjoyed KND back in the day as a kid. Had I’d known these were even a thing at that point in time I would’ve been begging my parents to get me as many from the line as possible! It’s a show that translates very well into potential toys. I mean just look at those freakin role playing toys!? I would’ve killed to get my hands on an actual G.U.M.Z.O.O.K.A toy gun which was always my favorite weapon from the show.
Outside of prop toys if the guns, making toys of their designs would have been a nightmare, similar to all the old Sonic toys that always broke their thin limbs
I walked into a Toys R Us and saw the 5 pack. It wasn't announced. It was just there and it was the best $10 i ever spent. Still bitter we didn't get HIPPIE HOP
Can you cover the Teen Titans Bandai figures? There are ToyFair photos based on the last seasons of the show but the line was canceled when the show ended
The show literally gave out free toy ideas in every episode, with a rotation and a stat block and everything!
It kills me how if somebody made toys now, they could do some awesome stuff

Do you have a PDF or list of this merch, I'd love to look more into this.

A good video topic to star off the new year

I definitely got my collectors set at Target. Only place I ever saw them.
I had a lot of these figures when I was younger! I loved playing with the Kolossaliner.

Man, we got robbed out of the cool toy series

I vividly remember seeing commercials for these toys and I really did want them I just could never find them :/
I had the R.O.A.D.S.T.A.R when I was a kid. It was a pretty fun toy.

Man I wish I had these when i was a kid, seriously was one of my favorite series as a kid
i didnt know they had a toyline
Well the show is popular after all! They even have a few video games especially the underrated gem, Operation V.I.D.E.O.G.A.M.E
@@Dangerzone334ArchiveOfficial ok cool
Still have my old knd figures wish they would bring gknd
I didn't know there was a KND plug n play
This show was badass
I really hope there’s a Funko pop line
Can you cover the Teen Titans Bandai figures? There are ToyFair photos based on the last seasons of the show but the line was canceled when the show ended
That would be a good one! I can add it to my list of potential ideas!
Thanks for the suggestion!
