Babe wake up, Tim posted

Tim is the cure to my crippling insomnia. He is just so calming and relaxing

I like to think that Tim has a magical warehouse that he peruses from day to day 😊

Makes me happy to know Tim's a person after my own heart that has a hard time throwing away things that might've outlived their usefulness, especially when it comes to toys. I'd have a 'cherish or perish' box myself if I was a collector!

Well here in the states we have a tree frog called a Barking tree frog that sound a lot like that toy. Keep up the good work! I have always love knick knacks, gadgets, and toys, Your channel is like a dream for me.

I'm 100% sure the little magnetic pop-up toy is how they made Bakugan toys, because I remember having a Bakugan toy as a kid with the card, and I remember how the card is a bit heavier than normal cards and that my toy magnets stick to them. I then realized that the little Bakugan toys has a magnet at the bottom of the base, and that the card has a metal in it to stick with the Bakugan and have it transform! Seeing that pop-up toy really throws me back to those days! Such good times. Edit: I've also had that straw doll! Only that it was a bear and it was made of wood. If I pull the string from the bottom the bear would move its arms and legs and made it look like it was jumping! I'm pretty sure it's still in my room because I hung it on a little string on my door because it looks cute there.

I actually repair damaged Bakugan! The inner mechanism varies between different years and designs. It's typically a magnet inserted into a movable plastic piece, connected to components that hold a Bakugan's features into that "closed" shape. There's also a spring over the magnet, allowing it to press down onto the card.

Thank you, Tim and the team behind the videos. You all have brought me comfort.

Calling Hello Kitty "this little creature" is unneededly funny.

The face changing one is so cool! Do they need still sell them somewhere?

It's this channel season once again I love Tim in this time of the year

I feel a strong urge to put the faces pieces in the correct order 😭

That is a great top; it lasted a minute and fifteen seconds.

Timothy Quiller Rowett born on July 12, 1942 is a British KZread personality and renowned toy collector, known for presenting videos about toys, optical illusions, novelties and puzzles on the KZread channel Grand Illusions. Rowett, known affectionately as "Tim the Toyman", is a former children's entertainer, and claims to have collected upwards of 20,000 to 25,000 toys over a 50-year period, many of which are featured in his videos.

That last one had me thinking "Hot dog; barking frog; Albequeque"!

What a remarkable man. Time traveler for certain.

Great Scott!

Love the frog toy! Some frogs do sound similar to that when they’re threatened and the Vietnamese Mossy Frog kind of has a similar barking, although softer and quieter. 🐸

Your videos are so fascinating

Great videos! I really enjoy them

Tim back again with another banger

always loved the content :)

I can't wait until the Christmas Collection Toys to come out!⛄

Well I shall enlighten you, about what that first item is , That’s a 1970’s baby bottle disposable expander from playtex, that device is used to hold the disposable plastic sleeve and turn it into a usable baby bottle , there’s a few brochures online that you can see how it was used and in the words of Tim , it’s “ quite remarkable “

its Time TiM Thamks for sharing

I get the impression that if that first thing had rubber around the metal bits, it would contract and maybe hold a weak but fairly effective airtight seal until pulled out (With the little thin handle it creates) of whatever container/toy it was designed for. Not sure what for though, as it would be a very weird design.

I like spending time with grandpa

i see what you died there

I have a pond in my backyard. It is filled with hundreds of frogs. I never heard one of them bark yet. If I come across one I will half to send it to Tim. The only problem with this is I live in America. The frog most likely will be dead when it arrives in England. Oh well, it sounded like a good idea at first. LOL!

Sadly, all dogs eventually croak

That white device at the beginning is a baby bottle liner installer tool made by playtex.

Dryophytes gratiosus, commonly known as the barking tree frog, is a species of tree frog endemic to the south-eastern United States.

Frogs actually do make a sound very similar to this, a high pitched chirp, but it definately sounds more dog like the more you squeeze it

For Me and my Mom it looks like a tool to make a little hole in an egg before you cook it. It prevents, that the egg explode. I have no Idea how it is called in english. Anyway to be an 'little hole in an egg maker' it wohl need a tiny needle. But I can't see one.
