    As always Brian, you’re my favorite tour guide for toys on the Interweb. (Information + humor) x presentation / subtlety = 100%

    My brother had the Bionic Man/Bigfoot racers when we were kids(probably 1978ish). We loved pumping them up and racing them. Great memories from our childhood. Thanks.

    Couldn’t limit it to just one. Higher tickets: Mego Movie Bridge Set, Bionic Bigfoot, Astronaut GI Joe, the Tootsietoy boxed sets. Medium tickets: Perry Mason comic, Grizzly Adams. Low end: the Gurley Candle… had a whole Christmas village of them growing up the, now rebuilding the collection with Christmas, Halloween, Thanksgiving… I remember the boxed Tootsietoy Flash Gordon set with two spaceships in the stores but never got it. I finally found a loose ship in the last ten years. Funny how in the quick pan over you made the ship vaguely resembles a 1999 Eagle. Thanks for the beautiful toy memories!

    I had such a good time watching this. I probably would have picked up the tiny wind-up robot with the pinkish dome or the Star Trek Jet Discs. I always tell myself that I will just sit back and watch your videos without pausing, but as usual, I pause on every slide to look at every single toy.

    The boxed Ilia 12 inch figure is my pick. I love going to That 80's Toy Store but I joke with my friend about the stuff behind the counter that if you have to ask you can't afford it!

    The Sizzlers caught my eye. Not a huge Mattel Hotwheels collector but I had a Sizzlers set with a bunch of cars that I played with for years as a kid when they first came out. The Remco Tower would be next, look out Brian it may not be there ; )

    That gorilla looks kind of familiar. Is it possible that he was the top of a candy tube? A tube with candy in it and he would be the stopper kind of like what you would usually see in a Christmas candy cane? And the one thing I definitely would’ve gotten was that bendable Batgirl ! I’m a huge Batgirl fan! That was a no-brainer.

    Earthquake Tower, the Christmas present that I really wanted in 76. But didn't get and still want to this day. It was start to my well developed cynicism. I got a room full of toys that Christmas. All I could think of was if your going to go this far, what would it hurt to give the kid what he wanted.

    The item that caught my eye was the Milton Bradley Haunted Treasure Hunt game. I actually already have it. It's a game I remember fondly from my childhood. It actually uses the same game mold as operation but has a haunted pirate treasure theme with art reminiscent of Scooby Doo. Instead of removing bones and organs, you did for treasure.

    I'm pretty sure the gorilla goes on the top of a tube full of generic M&M style candies, with some sort of appropriate branding. I don't remember seeing the gorilla, but I remember seeing a lot of dinosaur ones as a kid, and they are still made as faux candy canes.

    Why is it at these things there will always be a random naked doll on one of the tables...? My picks: Fisher Price castle: had it as a kid. Still have a few pieces and every time I see it in one of these videos, I feel happy thinking about it. 6 million dollar man race set: They gave Bigfoot a jet motorcycle?! How did I not know that toy existed? That's brilliant!

    Great video Brian, Cheers! Without a doubt it would be the Sizzlers Fat Track Big O race set. I had the first basic Sizzlers oval set on the standard orange Hot Wheels track when I was 3 y.o. & a few years later hot the RRRrumblers Fat Track offset figure 8 set with the air (fist) powered jump ramp. Best toy ever IMO next to Ideal’s Evel Knievel Stunt Cycle. That Knock-off Tootsie toy bionic figure looks like a distant relative of Brick Mantooth. Might have don him some groovy threads & a gold chain or 2…

    I actually rehabbed that Gurley candle a while back. Basically, use Dawn dish soap with cold water and rub with your hands to remove the dust and grease. It's okay to remove a light layer of wax, it won't hurt it. Use a toothpick for finer areas. Sorry if this posted multiple times, but looks like KZread might be deleting comments with links to other websites (I posted a link to a blog I wrote on the rehab).

    I was thinking candy tub topper for that ape head as well because I remember a friend of mine showing me one a long time ago. I looked it up in pictures of his collection and... his has the mouth molded open and might connect differently. So either a variation or completely different thing. As for what I'd be tempted by, well, you know I would have been checking those Shogun for variations I need. But nice score on the Gurley candle. We have the blow mold and a ceramic (I think) version of that.

    The gorilla goes on top of one of those candy tubes they had gorillas and robots, and the little candies were like I think they were like six slits. They were little candy like multi milk ball things. I think the dinosaurs to write definitely had one of those.

    Lovely video, I know I’m picking here, but that 80s toy shop by and large from what I saw in the video had very little in the way of 80s toys, mostly 70s 90s to modern retro versions, plus having that 80s toy shop logo in 70s font and 90s toy story logo, really 🤦‍♂️, as I say I know I’m probably being a tad harsh but 😂, I’d probably love it in there 😂

    Brian, Brian, Brian please go down the Shogun Warriors rabbit hole. I want to enjoy this line again vicariously thru you. I remember it being sold at Eatons ( or Simpsons) in downtown Montreal. At 11:06 in the video there’s a Robin figure in a case. What was it exactly. Also that Tootsie Toy Bionic Man type figure triggered something in my memory. I’m sure I’d seen it back in the day. Was it only available in that large set or were there other variations. Really fun video,
