Was that Fred Rogers that said that?

Another carrying case big in the late 70’s, and early 80’s was the car cases for matchbox and hot wheels. Those could be their own video, but I remember having a couple for all my cars.

I love the little stories about Junkman in his younger years. Thanks again!

I cut the tokens, or stars,or proof of purchase things from my card backs and mailed away for the bandolier. Figured out fairly quickly 1) they would probably fall out going to my friends house 2) i would get beat up and have the figures stolen if anyone saw me. Still have it though. Oh and if i had to run, there would be a trail of action figures behind me. The weapons boxes were a nice touch though

It's a tactical advantage to shed Star wars characters down the street when running for your life. Like a decoy chaff release. He'll break his leg on R2 D2. 😂

Love the ending “who am I kidding I would have bought this if I knew about it as a kid!” I never thought of the Joes’ APC as a carrying case, though it was as well, but i used it as a toy. And I loved that plain old Star Wars case from the beginning, although the tickets for the figures seemed to fall off pretty easy, I could have possibly not applied them properly. Who knows, I was only four at the time

😮...He-Man with a lightsaber...🤯 That's totally tubular❗❗❗

I never had a official carrying case. I used shoe boxes or back backs

Wow, great video. My older cousin had the ultimate action figure case. It was called "Space Case", and it held 48 figures!! That's right. It contained four trays of 12. It was massive. He had his Star Wars, Micronauts, Lone Ranger, Clash of the Titans, and Star Trek figures all in one place. It was magical. When he got too old, I inherited it. It was like I had won the lottery.

I had that Chewbacca bandolier strap...it was awesome. I used to use the blue accessory boxes as cargo containers to smuggle Ewoks.

The beginning of this video reminded me of a beginning to Mr. Rogers Neighborhood. Just needs a bit of cool jazz in the background and bam, Mr. Junkman's Neighborhood.

Great video junkman. I had a case that I suppose was to be used for gi Joe's. It was made of card board wrapped in camouflage vinyl. It had yellow vinyl on the inside for whatever reason. I'd fill it with my Joe's and their guns and backpacks and I used it till it fell apart! This was back in the 80s, I used it with my 3.75 figures. Not sure where my mom got it at but I've never seen another

My GI Joe figures were stored in a yellow Fisher Price plastic doctor suitcase that had the trays removed. Other figures were in an old 8-track carrying case.

Remco came out with a mini monster play case that doubles as a mini play set for their universal monsters line. There was a table for Frankenstein’s monster, a sarcophagus for the mummy and sewer drain for the creature. Pretty cool case.

Jm, Mego DID have a Hall of Justice playset. Mego is the other vintage line I narrowed my collection down to. You should definitely do a video on the mego playsets. I wouldnt call them carrying cases either, because I learned the hard way they are not. I kept my Trek megos in the Enterprise playset and the bottom gave out after a week or so. But aside from the Wizard of Oz, there were quite a few fold up sets like that. Check out Megomuseum.com. also. The Gi Joe mini cases that looked like ammo pouches were better than the bandoleir.

I knew a kid that had one. I preferred my Colecovision.

I had that Chewbacca bandolier as a kid. Neither myself or any of my siblings ever wore it, or stored figures in it, but I did use it as a stand in for a weird snake-like robot creature for my figures to fight. And the little cases were great to use as contraband containers for Han to smuggle stuff in. Or it'd be like those boxes of reward money he got from the rebels at the end of Ep4.

I wish I still had my Chewbacca Bandolier Strap.

This was interesting. I seem to have cases & boxes for everything. OCD organised. Had a lot of hot wheels cases. Star wars was a shoe box and a pill bottle full of guns. I got to go check out this Gallagher turtles thing. He's Awsome.

I have the Chewbacca Bandolier Strap . . . and the box it came in. I never wore it nor used it to store nor transport my action figures. Looking back, I don't know why I ever opened it. It's weak.

Have you seen the Remco Universal Mini Monster playcase? It's one of those laminated cardboard briefcase type cases. Inside is a molded plastic tray with compartments, and the whole thing doubles as a haunted house. Best carrying case ever.

Some of these cases are built really cheap, lol. Sometimes the gimmick carrying cases hold up better, like the Battle Bones carrying case, the Star Wars Chewbacca bandolier strap, and the Super Powers Hall of Justice playset. It was a step up from cheap cardboard cases.

I'm surprised that the super hero case was not made to look like the hall of Justice. Man I would always mix star wars and Joe's. Snake eyes looked pretty cool flying the snow speeder and imperial pilots flying any cobra vehicle!!!

I say "Carrying case". I had one called Space Case. Like the Star world but held 24. Cut open front took out cheesy art and put Star Wars picture in it. Got Darth Vader case later. Had Combat case too. Was vinyl and cheap plastic like Star World but front was 3d but cheap thin plastic that busted if you stacked any thing on top of it.

I used to love my pony NFL trainers , white leather and a blue tick

Junkman is channeling his inner "Mr. Rogers" for this one :)

Never had one of those cases. I remember seeing them in stores. Didn't need one. Sides I think our Star Trek figures are quite content in their 30+ year old Stride Rite Zips box.

Loved the Chewie bandolier as a kid, as well as the 3PO carrying case. Those 2 and the MOTU dragon skeleton "vehicle"/troop transport were def the ones I used the most.

A case to hold four 1970s megos oooh how fancy

I had the space case advertised in the wish book with the original staw wars figures. Before the star wars case hit the market. Would love a shirt of it

I was surprised to find out that there was a action figure carrying case for the Alec Baldwin The Shadow movie back in the mid 90s. I liked the movie alot as a kid and had a few figures.

I have the Darth carrying case and the figures didnt fall to the bottom, cept maybe a few up by the top of his face.

I used to carry my Kenner jurrasic park figures to the playground in a lunch box from the lost world, I think carrying cases where passaie by the mid/late 90s the only major one that I remember was one for the Batman animated series.

I had the Darth Vader case, and the Empire Strikes back brief case style case. I still have the second one, but I traded the Vader case for some figures that I had lost.

You forgot the Space Case! Also I had 2 of those Chewbacca bandoliers...

I actually have the 90's GIJOE carrying case

My only case was the Empire Strikes Back case, pretty much the same as the Star Wars case you have in your hands but with Empire art on the front. Still have it, full of my childhood figures.

Please offer a mug with the Fantasy Creatures pic! That's classic!

I can't believe you missed the classic Remco Universal Monsters carry case that literally converted into a sweet haunted house inside and had a science table for Frankenstein and a coffin for Mummy or Dracula. Also, you forgot the great Star Wars ones - the Darth Vader carry case, the C-3PO one, the Rebel Trooper Rifle one from ROTJ (I own it and it's awesome! - you could play with it as a gun, even had a scope with a sight in it) or the Millennium Falcon ones that came out with POTF2. Also - MOTU had the Battle Bones, while not a carry case, they were like the Bandolier Strap where it hugged the figures and could be a vehicle too. Lots of fun ones, I'm surprised you didn't cover these.

I had the Star World case!!! Beet rip off case ever!

Transformers had two types of carrying cases. Due to the irregular size and shape of the multiple types of "figures", neither case was very suitable for many of the "figures". The smaller case was similar to the Star Wars case that you have. The tray inside had compartments of different sizes. The smaller compartments were perfect for (most of) the minicars. The larger compartments were OK for the larger G1 cars, or the jetplanes -- if you dissembled and "folded" them in half. Soundwave would also fit perfectly in the bigger compartment. Megatron and Prime were a big fat NO on that carrying case. www.ebay.com/itm/TransFormers-Hasbro-1984-collectors-case-Tara-Toy-Corp-vinyl-robot-/231339143141 Later on, many of the Transformers became much bigger and more "irregular". The second carrying case was introduced. It was basically the same as the He-Man carrying case that you mentioned. It had four compartments as well. You would store as much as you could, and the pieces and "figure" would "slide" all around. www.ebay.com/itm/Transformers-G1-Jumbo-Collectors-Carry-Case-Hasbro-LAAR09/273584487566?hash=item3fb2e7fc8e:g:BYgAAOSwxtVb~wqB Is it any wonder that most people would prefer to keep the boxes that the bigger "figures" would come in and transport them that way???

Never needed a carrying case for my original figures, because even at the age of 12 ... I knew that they were staying right in my room so none of my buddies were going to get their Grubby ass hands on my hard earned figures.....And that is why I still have my originals to this day in near mint condition...And I wouldn’t want to embarrass my originals by putting them in those stupid butt ugly cases anyway!...H@ ! Cheers JM

Junkman I'm asking for your help and others that follow you. Analog Toys just put up a video accusing anyone that's anti-repro that they are an Elitist. I commented directly after his video basically saying I have no issue with Repro's as long as they are marked as such. His comment was basically everyone has an opinion and repro's are great for the hobby. Analog toys, Toy Polloi and Retroblasting are missing the point, with the following they have they should promote all weapons and accessories to be marked as to not be passed off as an original!
