The toyline and cartoon are definitely a sweet hidden gem. I dig the idea of space knights using holograms. This was a very unique concept.

Great retrospective! Visionaries was one of those awesome lesser known toy lines I always wanted to collect, but after spending every last penny on GIJOE, STAR WARS, MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE, TRANSFORMERS, GOBOTS, BATTLE BEASTS, M.A.S.K., DINO-RIDERS, SILVERHAWKS, SKY COMMANDERS, and SHADOW STRIKERS, there just wasn't any dough left over. But, it's never too late to revisit great "under the radar" series like Visionaries! In fact, you inspired me to pick up the complete animated series on DVD. CHEERS! :)

It's a nice thought, but unfortunately not. Most of the rest of the world was the best part of a year behind with Visionaries compared to the US. Some of the promo art did wind up making it out though - the feature art of Ramak fighting Draculan was used on the cover of VHS released in the UK.

Thanks Andrew!
I really enjoyed that awesome video and the poems were a nice touch. I wish Visionaries would be re-released with all these unreleased characters too 😋👍

Amazing! Like watching a documentary 😄
I actually liked Visionaries and had the first line of toys. But I wasn’t able to get any other figures after the first series. I thought it was cool to see the holograms and how each character had a distinct animal or being. Thank you for the video and content!
Great Video! What about Part 2 + 3?
Awesome video I remember as a kid my father bought me all 8 figures plus one vehicle which was that red cycle. I can't remember the name.

An awesome video man! If only those figures got released. Still, with the rumor of the visionaries appearing in a hasbro shared cinematic universe they still appear after all!

Such an underrated toy line.
May the matrix light annoy Megatron night 😂see I can do it too
Such a great quality cartoon and toyline. It and SKeleton Warriors and kindered spirits.
Always thought, even as a kid, the bad guys were so much more cooler
That Air Wing looks a lot like a Centauri Vorchan warship from Babylon 5.
Very cool I do wonder since they where so along on the design and figures did the get released in other countries? I know that some of the famed wave 2 captain power stuff did see light in France as I did see lorddreads robot soldier figures on sale from a seller on eBay from there once not his henchmen figures but the basic trooper one

It's a nice thought, but unfortunately not. Most of the rest of the world was the best part of a year behind with Visionaries compared to the US. Some of the promo art did wind up making it out though - the feature art of Ramak fighting Draculan was used on the cover of VHS released in the UK.
Is there a part 2 and 3 of this, I can't find them and was hoping to get a view of the playset and hear more info on it. I wanted it soooo bad when I was little.
Wow, if I ever get my custom Visionaries cosplay done, I'd have to beg you to come up with the poem for it. (Animal totem being a fierce crested penguin, and a Thundersnow spell for the shield/standard)

Incredible video. Is just amazing the work that you do. If the license of the Visionaries ever becomes available to bu, you need to get it and make new cartoons. Your incredible.

Thanks! Haven't done them yet.
Does anyone have the full Visionaries orchestral score in separate mp3s? I always loved the music throughout the show
I always wonder what happens to the prototypes of all toys that don't get made
Great video, simply amazing!!! Please tell me where can I find those images for the concept totems and shields

Thanks! There was a fan made Visionaries history book that was released years ago. Hard to find these days though.
It was such a good show & the animation is leaps and bounds better than the crap that is on TV now. But even as a kid I always wondered why if they r on the far away planet prismose do most of them have earth animals for their totems? Is that explained anywhere??
@MichaelMercy

I think Prysmos had similar animals, just like their people were similar to humans. It's like on Star Trek when they encountered planets very similar to Earth.

Michael Mercy not the earth....another earth....another earth.... sure I can buy that :). Thanks & keep the great videos coming.
Is there a part 2 and 3?
I remember these figures, I know I owned two of them (one good, one evil) but for the life of me, I can't ever find the hero I had, just the villain who's chest hologram fell off. So I guess the bad guy won, but at a great cost.
Given how far the style deviated from series 1 and how awful they looked? Im kinda glad series 2 never happened. The change to shields/Sun Imps and vehicles looked pretty good.
Where are the other 2 parts?
❤
The originals are difficult to find in good shape... chest hologram is usually missing.
why would Slywire come w a helmet w a microphone and communications? arent all the machines on Pyrmos dead now?

Glad you enjoyed it. Hope to finish off this series some day.
"Whatever became of the days of high adventure and magic?" The media got corrupted by Arthur C. Clarke's idiotic motto of "magic is just science we don't understand" and turned any stories about heroes into "realistic" looks into their lives (looking at you Marvel Cinematic Universe and Dr. Who)
I love the Visionaries. Too bad the line failed.
HAHAHA😂
