The eighties had a plethora of great cartoons and toy lines that allowed children to practically bring these cartoons home. One such toy line turned cartoon was the famous Inhumanoids that debuted in the year 1986. The Inhumanoids are the titular characters of this 80's children's cartoon that practically took kids by storm. What is so special about this tv show, you ask? Well, usually action cartoons were all about the cool heroes who defeated the bad guys with their hi-tech gadgets and were the central attraction of the show. However, in this particular series, all the focus was on these terrifying subterranean monsters who went on rampages and scared the people of Earth to no end. Yes, there was a group of heroes called the Earth Corps who always clashed against them but the stars of the series were undoubtedly the Inhumanoids.

I have said it before and I'm sure I will say it again, they just don't make cartoons like they used to back in the 80s! And unfortunately I don't think that they will ever again 😕 And that's just a sad commentary on where we're going as a society! Great video once again!👍👍👍👍

Kids shows featuring titans & genetic freaks hiding inside hollow earth are generally frowned upon.... too close to reality. I love this show, bro 👍.

Idk cartoons are actually better these days than in the 80's and early 90's. Nostalgia can make things seem better in retrospect than they actually were. Now Ghostbusters and Ninja Turtles was the shit back in the day but a lot of the other ones were actual shit. lol!!

I was 27 when the In humanoids came out in 1986. This show was way ahead of the usual 1980s cartoon. Its mindset was more in line with anime instead of American animation.

Inhumanoids was a really unique toy line/cartoon and, yes it was the monsters that really sold the idea and toys back then. My brothers and I had a bunch of the monsters, but none of the human figures that I can remember. I still have the leader of the bad guys 'Metlar' as well as 'Redlen' and 'redsun' which were the Redwood good guy tree creatures.

@MrMicklethal 2 года назад

@@jamisonfrey3452 I was incredibly lucky...most of them were bought in three weeks. Woolworth's was going out of business so my wife and I went to see what we could buy cheap. They had three aisles jammed with toys with orange "Clearance Stickers" on them. The first trip we bought nothing but *Inhumanoids toys.* I barely looked at the other two aisles. The next trip I found the Sectaurs toys, I never even heard of them but they looked so cool I had to get them. This was pre-internet so I used the pics on the boxes to figure out which toys I still had to find. When Woolworth's closed those two collections were about 80% complete. The next few years I found the rest. The Sectaurs have a huge *_"Hyve" Playset"_* which was their answer to He-Man's Castle Grayskull. I was walking through Present Company (another store no longer in business) one day and I found the Hyve for $6.99. LOL I don't know about other toy collectors but I can tell you where I found every piece I have. I've seen the Hyve on eBay go for a 1000 dollars in the original box. About halfway through our buying spree my wife was getting a little antsy about the money we were spending and I kept telling her these would be worth a lot of money in a few years. But inside my head I'm secretly thinking *_"OMG I hope these things are worth something someday!"_*

@jamisonfrey3452 2 года назад

@@MrMicklethal Wow!! That's a cool story, dude. Sounds like you really hit the jackpot with those finds. I remember the Hive playset. I never had the pleasure of owning one myself, but I would have liked to. Yeah, I'm like you in that I can remember where I got just about every piece In my collection. I think it's a collector's thing lol. The 80s had so many great properties to collect too. My favorite is the He-Man stuff, but I've also got stuff from G.I. Joe, Battle beasts, Dino-Riders, Transformers, Inhumanoids, Madballs Ghostbusters, Thundercats and I feel like I'm leaving out a ton lol. Who's your favorite Inhumanoid figure? I've always liked Decompose. I got him for my birthday one year when I was a kid. A friend of mine accidentally dropped him and his head broke off. I was not happy to put it nicely. I used to love the open up ribcage gimmick that Decompose had. As I mentioned before, I didn't have any of the human figures from the line. But that was ok. It just meant that He-Man/Inhumanoids crossover battle events would rage across my bedroom floor. Good times, indeed.

This is a show I watched as a kid and had all the toys for (except for Metlar. He was the only one I never got my hands on). I never really stopped to think, until watching this, how unique the show was from its contemporaries in terms of its dark and adult tones. Looking back now it makes sense why I’ve never forgotten it.

@t8r507 2 года назад

This show really highlights what kind of educational prowess and maturity that was expected of American pre-teens back in 1985 as opposed to now. This cartoon had some really heavy-duty themes and a certain amount of educational growth was obviously expected just to even begin to follow and understand this show. Not only expected but was such a reality it was an afterthought not even remotely considered you understood and comprehended. Viewed from a certain standpoint this classic cartoon puts a huge spotlight on an crisis that has obviously gotten worse as time passed by.... Time passes...will you?

@t8r507 2 года назад

This show scared the crap outta me at 4 years old...I still showed up to watch it every weekend, at least until parents had my local Minneapolis station take it off. 😂 None of my friends ever got ahold of one of the toys either. Too rich for our blood I'm afraid. It would've been awesome though. I'm willing to bet it would have been a "My mom says I don't have to share that one" toy anyways. 🤣 Speaking of more mature than I was expecting cartoons, have you ever reviewed Exosquad? It definitely qualifies.

god i loved this show as a kid. it was metal before i even knew what that was. (i did have a zeppelin cassette and a black sabbath cassette that i played on a teddy ruxpin. unfortunately his mouth wouldn’t move, but only my parents had a tape player downstairs, so if i wanted to listen to music as a kid, that’s what i had to do 😂).

I remember when this debuted as part of the Super Sumday cartoon line-up and was hooked after the first episode. When they put all of the debut episodes together as a mini-movie, I geeked out as a kid. I was thrilled when it was put on Saturday mornings with weekly episodes! Not to mention, this was the first cartoon that legit scared the hell outta me as a kid!

Thank You muchly for this in depth analysis. I read this in comic form about 35 years ago. Think it was a back-up to the Transformers comic, maybe Action Force (I could look it up but want to do this from memory) and even in that form it stood apart from other works. Very intense, dark and left on a cliff-hanger of the halves of magnicore being defeated unleashing the terrifying Boss. Took years, maybe decades before I found out what happened. ha

Remember seeing this very early on Saturday morning before fun factory started, and I really was impressed by how graphic it was being a very young boy at that time.
