Just bought'm all back plus a couple I didn't have for $29 then Big Boy's car for $25. Tons of memories w/these guys.

@guardian08527 5 лет назад

I only had Tracy and Influence as a kid, but one of my friends had The Brow, Rodent, Shoulders, Flattop and Itchy. I remember up until 1992 you could still find a couple of Steve The Tramp figs hanging on the pegs in the dollar spots. Years later I bought up the whole set of figures except for The Blank. Even got the gangster car.

@skabcat242 11 лет назад

The intro of this was dope. I havnt seen these toys in forever.

@darthnito6336 7 лет назад

i wish they would do a re-release like they did with Ninja Turtles and make new one's like Baby Face and the dude with the big nose and maybe even 88 keys.

@Dragonrider1227 7 лет назад

I would be all over that

@nemass26 5 лет назад

That would be great. Give better articulation and update other things for the current time

@scottknode898 Год назад

The one with big nose was Rodent one of Lip Manlis men killed in warehouse at the beginning of movie and he had high pitched voice

@dreadzeppelin85 11 лет назад

Got all of them! Except The Blank obviously. All still in the packaging!

@facetina 3 года назад

@raymondloya175 2 года назад

Iam a fan love these gangstas Tracy and catchem 😎 I have most of the line 70 percent complete there is also two cars in the line another great video 👍🏼

@vannavanity1195 3 года назад

I saw this line at a dollar store when I was a little girl. I had forgotten that this line was movie-based, though the fact that so many arbitrary toy lines were made in this period blows my mind. I want to see the movie now

@cycopth1 11 лет назад

I remember tons of blanks back in 1990 here in canada at zellers wouldn't have known the reason for that back then at age 12

@sodapopbrosky 4 года назад

As a kid I used to do these guys vs. tmnt. So much fun. And glad you said what was up with the Blank release. Even in a small town in New Mexico I was able to collect every figure except for Flattop and The Blank. It makes sense now why I couldn't find them. Or at least Blank.

@roadblock7801 7 лет назад

I remember seeing this line in the stores. Never got them, but I always thought the figures within the line was AWESOME! Ah, the '90's...

@toddsmitts 7 лет назад

I ultimately ended up with almost all of them, except for the Rodent and of course the Blank. Apparently the Steve the Tramp toy was pulled from shelves because of a minister who worked with the homeless who thought that a character who was described as a "reeking piece of filth" and "stinking up the sewers" and perpetuated negative stereotypes about the homeless was inappropriate for a child's toy.

@Dudeitsmeee 11 лет назад

oh wow finally a flashback friday! nice!

@boeingnz 11 лет назад

--Spoiler-- The blank is actually Madonna. But playmate was smart enough to package it with the mask on. Unlike the batman's Phantasm figure : (

@IXAX15 10 лет назад

I actually have the complete set of these guys. one of my favorite toylines of all time.

@pittypaws6633 10 лет назад

You even have the Blank?

@IXAX15 10 лет назад

yes I do

@pittypaws6633 10 лет назад

IXAX15 Dang! I bet he cost you a lot. Did you have his disquise that goes over his face.

@IXAX15 10 лет назад

100% complete

@larzuthul5315 4 года назад

I had some when I was little but these toys were fragile. I remember both hands coming off ones of my action figures. I’m also surprised that they have not thought of doing a remake after all these years .

@DanyTV79 11 лет назад

Great review! :)

@Retro_AO_1982 10 лет назад

not sure why this line of figures didnt do as well as they hoped. I liked the movie and the figures! playmates did a great job! who cares if they took after the turtle line...the turtles are badass!!!

@nemass26 6 лет назад

If super 7 or another organization gets the licensing for this to remake it and it's done right especially with updated cool gimmicks ill buy it. And I Brett others will also out it's done right

@HordaksPupil 11 лет назад

Another awesome video Dan. I got into Dick Tracy through the animated cartoon that was on TV. It was an awesome show and this is an awesome toyline, makes you pine for those days when everything had an action figure line.

@mattgabaree1486 4 года назад

Did you ever find The Blank?

@kinnikuman-devilman_fan_2002 3 года назад

Kinda wish they bring them back :(

@249denny 11 лет назад

Great video Dan! I always loved these when I was a kid nice to see a good review on them!

@jwess02 11 лет назад

it's been awhile since the last Flashback Friday!

@bencheshire 11 лет назад

I totally forgot I had one of these. Definitely Pruneface, and maybe Flattop.

@MagicalPuddinPops 11 лет назад

They're fun! I love the guns and other accessories.

@voightg 11 лет назад

My brother gave some of these along with some ninja turtles to my sons a couple of years ago. He is having a boy pretty soon so I think I will give them back so he can enjoy them with his son!

@boredATkosice 11 лет назад

I loved those and i still have them displayed ,so funny that u made this review now , cause after having those for 10 yrs or so only now i managed to find a roddent figure ... the blank is too pricey .

@MarkSpawn-nk9mn 6 лет назад

I’m a kid but I got into old toys and I had newer toys when I was little there was a toy line that I loved it was even good guys and bad guys

@DRTB4G 6 лет назад

The Blank was the only one I ever bought... Wish I still had her

@figeeky 11 лет назад

Awesome line, just need The Blank too. Playmates always seem to put out a solid offering, they are just unlucky with the IP's tgey get

@jmsberetta 11 лет назад

Cool line

@cambonious23 3 года назад

These were always hard to find. I never found the blank and barely found prune face. The Sam catchem was hard to find too. The shelves were filled with mumbles.

@bodine1231 11 лет назад

I had every single figure growing up except Blank,that one was really hard to find!

@gerardraney7668 4 года назад

Isaw it on Facebook marketplace. Price is steep or maybe not

@SPac316 11 лет назад

I used to have a couple of these toys.

@249denny 11 лет назад

good times!

@gerardraney7668 4 года назад

You can go on eBay to find The Blank for over$2,000.

@briancurry6602 2 года назад

cool

@samsreview7335 7 лет назад

Pixel Dan, what are some other toy lines based off 80s / 90s movies? I know of the Batman lines, Terminator, Jurassic Park, Robocop... But what others do you know of?

@carlzuckerman9372 7 лет назад

Sam's Review hook, terminator, aliens, demolition man, last action hero, the shadow, the mask, Mario brothers...

@nemass26 5 лет назад

The blank seems like the phantasam/false face from the 66 Batman series

@white8crow 11 лет назад

Actually I saw the Blank at a Hypermart once and passed on it... DOH!

@bigbad007 11 лет назад

What about the cars? There was a cop car and a gangster one. They had hidden compartments for weapons

@OBLIVIONDOOM 11 лет назад

theres 4 blanks on ebay for over a grand each. thats crazy

@finnISHY 6 лет назад

My grandad had like a 10% share in merchandise for this movie he probably made $8

@hmpz36911 3 года назад

He'd have made about 2 million actually

@DrxSlump 11 лет назад

I only had the Blank and this figure scared me for me some reason. It was very popular here, probably overstocked!

@eyedea81 8 лет назад

where's little face?

@Jestermon1 11 лет назад

Weird that his coat wasn't made some how if the made one on the blank, without the coat he just looks like Curious George guy, apparently he even had a yellow suit. Funny too these look more like the characters in the movie than some toys today.

@MajinHouse84 11 лет назад

i used to have mumbles back in the day mom bought it from caldor for 4 bucks

@tannen1036 7 лет назад

The blank looks like Sam spud

@Mrmissionaryart 11 лет назад

on ebay US $1.499,99 for the blank!

@bubby14 11 лет назад

My relatives got me all the figures (except Blank). I was too young to remember, but I was most definitely less than satisfied. I loved the movie and I asked to keep the man himself, Tracy, but I did not object to my family returning the figures back to the departments store they came from. I do remember that a bargain was struck to get something else from these same relatives, but I think they weren't so happy that I rejected their offer. I never got a replacement gift that year.

@4thecollectors 11 лет назад

i had like 6 of these back in the day traded it for a hulk hogan toy

@Yobbie72 10 лет назад

I had quite a few of these...I didn't even like them, but I was a dick tracy fan and no-one else was buying them: you could get them for like $2bucks a piece.
