    I came her for Sun-Man. A cool vintage line with a heartwarming origin story, just a shame that 4 of the figures never made it passed the prototype phase. But thanks to Olmec Toys partnering up with Mattel to add Rulers of the Sun Characters to the Masters of the Universe Origins toy line, Kikto, Duplico, Hypno, and Zap-Man finally have the presence on toy collectors' shelves that they deserve.

    Not a collector but growing up in the 80s and 90s my parents never really bought me toys and I find myself always watching these toy videos on UA-cam all the time. This channel is by far the best in the “UA-cam toys history” videos, it’s the closest thing to Netflixs show “toys that made us”. I use to work in film production and I appreciate the production value, the research, and solid writing. Good job dude, keep it up and I’m sure you’ll eventually get picked up by some network somewhere.

      Woah thanks so much 🤓 there’s a couple channels that do it way better than me like the toys that made us but also justice cury’s amazon show “plastic Crack”, pixel dan, toy galaxy, retroblasting and laura legends are all such great content creators i look up to

    I'm a transformer collector...but as a kid. He-Man, G.I.Joe and Star Wars were my toy box filler. I never got into collecting He-Man, just because of this reason. So many knockoffs and very little info due to no internet back then. I just bought most of the Mega Construx motu figures and sets. Gotta be honest it's rekindled that flame a little that I might try and collect motu, but some of these KOs are looking cool too. Thanks for giving me a little insight on ko world of the masters.

    2:30 Skull Man! My favourite! I miss him!
    2:34 Guana! My first ever MOTU-like figure!
    5:22 Kobra! I still (barely) have him in one piece!
    9:30 I had a very similar skull with clear chest filled w/water and glitters - or was that one? Water finally leaked out.

    My family would all get together for new years and exchange Christmas gifts with family that didn't live close together. When I was a kid, Voltron was huge. That year I and my cousins got a LOT of knock off Voltron toys. There was one of 5 motorcycles that combined into a robot. I got 3 or 4 of those that year. From what I remember, it was actually a decent figure when combined.

    Yet another interesting and educational Toy History lesson Ed! The only Knock Off toy I remember getting and still have is a Shockwave G1 Transformers that I got in Hungary back in the day. Looks exactly like the original apart from the slight colour difference and different packaging of course that has nothing to do with Transformers, but in both robot and gun mode has the same light and sound effects. And I still have this in my collection and it still works! Funny enough I never ended up getting an "original" G1 Shockwave. Maybe time to add the "real one" to the collection...?

    Kids these days don't know how amazing it was for Toy's back then, growing up in the 80's going to the Toy stores like Toy's R Us was huge, just PACKED full of action figures and vehicles like some of the pictures in this video. Seeing all those GI Joe figures and vehicles hits me in the nostalgia feels. Thankfully as a kid I got pretty much all the figures I wanted, I pretty much had everything you could think of. It's just sad we don't have stores like this anymore and never will again.

I recall troll doll heads, various monsters, etc.

    Really interesting and colorful video. I found it fascinating. I grew up during this time and had no inkling those other ones even existed, besides the DC characters. Also the room you're shooting in looks like a paradise. I remember going to a Toys r' us later and someone complaining about all the pvc. The smell oddly always cheered me up and made me nostalgic for all the good parts of my childhood. Thanks for the memories and knowledge bomb.

    80’s knockoff toys are genuinely my favorite thing. I collect knockoff kaiju and dinosaur toys (Imperial, Dor-Mei, etc.). Imperial Dragons are my lifeblood lol. I’d take a weird knockoff over an official any day.

      The orange dor-mei ankylosaurus could be seen in Terminator 2 (inside the offices of Cyberdyne,) I noticed because mine was sitting on my TV back then!

Today now it's a ton easier to get the tmnt figures but no one I talk to remembers the swimming tmnt figures! Lol how much would they go for now you think? My older brother and I had the swimming donatello and swimming Leonardo. (We eventually got all the figures from the first set but it took 2 years.) I bet my parents was sick of ninja turtles lmao.

    Two toy lines stand out to me with being subject to myriad knockoffs; Transformers and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. So many companies brought out transforming vehicles and twelve inch dolls with similar points of articulation(fingers, multiple points in each appendage, swiveling joints with a ball bearing). I don’t really recall a lot of others that didn’t have their own cartoon or comic book associated.

      I'm always amazed that no one picked up the Thundarr the Barbarian license to make a MOTU knockoff. That would have been incredible.
