Inhumanoids: Part 2 - Clearing Out the Demons - Hasbro 1986 

Monsters for Your Other Toys™ needs to be a thing.

Inhumanoids made me a better person. My parents refuse to get Metlar for me so I worked for fist time to buy It with my own money. Thank you for this couple of videos.

"monsters for your other toys" goes well with "wooden blocks that can be anything"

With that advert you may have single handed saved the humanoids toy range

Holy moly that ending was sheer GENIUS!!!!! LMAOOOOOOOOOO

"Discarded foreskin" was never a phrase I expected to hear Michael say.

monsters for your other toys is exactly why I would want those bigger ones :-D awesome vid!

I had liquidator. I lost the helmet. I remember seeing decompose at sears and wanting it so bad. My parents wouldnt buy it because it was so expensive

I find myself imagining what Inhumanoids might have been as the first spin-off of G.I.Joe... Make the team of humans a special task force and scale it all to G.I.Joe size.

Thoroughly enjoyed this , great episode guys!!

I know you said it, but I always viewed the line as being in scale with GI Joe. The 3-3/4" scale head was just the human in a BIG Exo-suit. They should have made the suits as shells that could hold a GI Joe size figure. Not doing so was just stupid.

Like the Millennium Falcon swooping into the trench at the last moment to save Luke, in swoops the Retroblasting crew to save my day! YAA-HOO!

“You mean that he...” “MONSTERS! For your other toys!” Loved it!!

Love this show. A show that had balls like boulders

So many good one-liners in this episode. Also, I don't think that I'm ever going to be able to look at Auger the same way ever again.

Wow!! Love every part of this video Michael did it again!! 😀

Oh man, that ending made me chuckle.

My parents never had a problem telling me no. They never protested cartoons or toy commercials.

I am so happy you are covering this underappreciated classic! 😊💓

Off-the-charts quality AGAIN! Thank you for all the effort and creativity put into to your content. You guys are great.

"Monsters for Your Other Toys" is such a good idea for a toy line I'm surprised no one in the 80s ever did it.

Inhumanoids as a show was awesome. The toys were, in my opinion, disappointing from a design and engineering standpoint. Auger looks biomechanical and cool but totally clashes with the other Earth Core suits. It's like he was designed by a different artist or team. Also, by late 80's standards they were bricks compared to smaller figures which at least had knees or elbows. How cool would it have been if Earth Core were GI-Joe style figures which you can place inside their suits just like in the show? Even if the suits still only had 5 points of articulation that feature alone would still be worth it.

I remember my friends having these as a kid, great toy line. Thanks Retroblasting 👍

They should have made the suits open up so you can take the figures out, swap things around, maybe put in your favorite gi joe etc.

Watched that ad at the end twice.

Monsters for Other Toys was exactly what I did with my Inhumaniod monsters. I was 8 when the Inhumaniods series came out. I loved it. We were at a toy store when I found Liquidator and my parents bought him for me. It wasn't much longer until I had the other heroes of that series. For my 9th birthday I got Decompose, the following Christmas I got Metlar and Magnacore. We moved to Alaska where they didn't show Inhumanoids, none of my friends knew about the series but they loved the monsters. Now I completely forgot what made Magnacore special. I thought he was a lava monster and when he cooled down he froze and died, thus the rock shell over the front of his body. The four heroes were almost never played with. The monsters, however, could fit into any of my other toys. Playing with my Hotwheels cars, there is a traffic jam on I-95 due to Metlar and Decompose. The Rebel Alliance is defending Castle Greyskull with some G.I. Joes against Metlar and Decompose. Captain Picard, Geordi LaForge, and Commander Riker are in a losing battle against...those giant monsters. When my parents told me to go play with my little sister. She pulled out her Barbies and I pulled out Metlar (Fun Time Barbie didn't have a fun time when Decompose imprisoned her in his ribcage and zombified Skipper. My sister also enjoyed Inhumaniods so this wasn't a big no for her). Now I had another toy line called "Air Raiders", I had some hero and bad guy vehicles and the hero base. The toyline was based upon a pneumatic gimmick. The hero base had guns and pneumatic missiles that actually fired. My Air Raiders were the only ones who could take down Metlar and Decompose.

Hunk: You mean Sven is actually...? Keith in his native japanese: Shinderu, yes.

I was waiting for this!!! Strange toy line, not very popular but the monsters were awesome!

Another thing to point out too is that the design of the Earth Corps team on the cartoon looked a lot better than the chunky crap figures themselves.

Objective, great production & interview, hilarious, classic RetroBlasting! Thanks y'all, congratulations (a little late), & Happy Thanksgiving!

So interesting!

Yep, “Inhumanoids” toys were never played “in their own universe” in my neighborhood. They were always thrown in “as monsters” for other lines

Loved this line of toys & the cartoon series as a kid & still do! My Catholic Mom (so she wasn’t bothered too much about the whole demon monster thing) got me Metlar for Christmas 1987. Such an amazing Toy to open on Christmas morning. One of my fave Christmas mornings ever! Awesome video. Thanks for posting part 2 Retro Blasting

I gave this a like before I even started to watch it because I love Retroblasting and I have been waiting for part 2 of this awesome toy line :)

Watching this was an epiphany, I had the Bright figure as a kid but for the last 30-odd years I had no idea what it was. I also remember hating the thing because of the pin-head look it had because yep, I lost that helmet in record time.

Part one and two were amazing! Great job on the content! I was born in 81 and I remember the commercials but never seen the cartoons, but wish I did. You had me cracking up bro

Ok. I feel like if Hasbro made the main 4 characters come out of their power suits and where just GIJOE style figures that would have been a big help. As for calling them monsters for your other toys, BRILLIANT! If I had the main monsters when I was a kid they would have been used constantly fighting ninja turtles/masters of the universe (in my childhood mind those toy lines went together) or terrorizing people (people being what I called all 3 3/4 inch figures regardless of the toy line)

There is no Hospital Planet!

Oh, man! I was trying so hard to remember a toy-line's name: Crystarr! Thanks, Mr. Swaford! I had a coulpla figures, and a catapult, when I was a kid.

The bit at the end = comedy gold. 🤣 Great voice acting. 👏

Well done! I remember wanting some of the monsters for exactly that purpose.

That was freaking funny!! “Monsters for your other toys”. 😂😂😂

I loved the look of this line, but never got any as a kid. As an adult I got Tendrill and Granok(?)...Granok lost his arm due to the rubber breakage. Tendrill was my resident giant monster for 3 3/4 Marvel figures (Moleman looked dope riding on his head). I do think the humans ALMOST work as exosuits for Joe scale.....but man Auger was weird looking and Liquidators suit was dummmmmb.

The thing about Inhumanoids is that they were just too odd for kids. The monsters were probably expensive too.

Thank you guys for this....thumbs up

There's a toy line available at the moment called Raw10 that's essentially Monsters For Your Other Toys. It's got cybernetic versions of a giant gorilla, a great white shark, velociraptor and a cobra. I picked up a bunch of the cobras to take on The Joes.

Was Melinda's "ew!!!" Scripted, or was it her genuine reaction to reading the script?

I never ear about inhumanoids in my 40 year but now I can see the toys are awesone, I like the concept that this guys in a rare Battlesuit. I need that toys

It is what it is....Enjoy It!

I got the orange redwood for Christmas one year when I was a kid. I loved it, and it is one of the few toys that survived my childhood. I still have him to this day. He is on display on my shelf now, and the Monsters for your other toys is right. My He-Man, and Lion-O would team up to take on that redwood. I have the comics as well.

As a Voltron fan, the Vorltron bit made me suddenly laugh till my sides hurt. That small joke has SO many layers and shows you know your stuff. 🤣🤣🤣 Bravo sir 👏🏾 BRAVO!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

I had D'compose and the Trappeur vehicle and much like you said... I used both with my other toys. For the longest time, the last thing remaining I had from Inhumanoids was the grappler hook side-attachment on the vehicle and D'composes head (it totally popped off and I could never get it back on and his skull still looked cool).

Hasbro needs to get the rights for Inhumanoids back ASAP, because Inhumanoids is to Hasbro what Darkstalkers is to Capcom and that is a horror cult classic.

Been waiting for this one I love inhumanoids

Love this show and the toys. I get excited when I see any I humanoids items. or hearing the theme or commercials, I still get excited by that music.. Only had 1 toy coming up and it wasn't mine. It was my brothers and i thought it was great..I'd say inhumanoids still holds value for me.

The keith voice impression was spot on and not to mention a funny skit! As for the toys, I loved the cartoon but never bought the toys. I did inherit one of those rock monsters from a kid giving away his toys. Its purpose in the "Monsters for your other toys" group was nicely fulfilled.

"Monsters for your other toys" aka the reason why colorforms outer space men exist

once again great vid rb

I bought Tendril brand new and I still have it. He always was the "Monster for my other Toys".

I couldn't remember what these were all about until another great video from you guys. I received the big demon and my little bro. received the big skull head. Scared the crap out of my little cousins that Christmas. We also had Auger. Good Stuff.

I just always tripped out on how huge their scale was compared to other 80s toys...always liked the monsters....

I've been saying this for years. Voltron and the Megazords need Monsters in scale to fight. I would buy Monsters for your Other Toys. Case in point. McFarlane's RAW10 line are generic cybenetic creatures (besides Cygor) and you can fit them in almost any toy line.

Great video, love giant monsters! My other toys would love them!!!!

You nailed my 1989 thoughts of this line.

I Loved this video! Great comic relief as well!

I love the inhumanoids movie to this day

Oh yeah, was just thinking about when michael would release this video, been waiting on this one

Loved the voiceovers, especially Shipwreck!

I always loved INHUMANOIDS as a kid, I had DECOMPOSE, METLAR, and liquidator...I wish I still had the toys :(

Monsters for your Other Toys!!!!! Brilliant!!!!!

I think you hit the nail on the head with the wish fulfilment theory. How many of us are trying to appease our younger selves.

Man I always felt the Inhumanoids were actually the evolution of the Adventure Team.

Somehow, I had Moltar, D-Compose, and Tendryll when I was a kid. And yes, they were the Big Bads that all my hero toys had to conquer. The GI Joes, Sky Commanders, Air Raiders, and the Autobots had to team up to take them down. I definitely regret giving this triad of terror away when I got into my teen years. I still have Tan Rockman, esq. and Metlar. They aren't nearly as epic as the three Big Bads. Also, your mention of Circus World definitely brought up memories of going to the North DeKalb Mall near Decatur, Ga. and trying to find good stuff in the mark down bins. Great work as usual!

LMAP. That ending skit had me on the floor!! "Do U need help fighting the good guys?? Cobra: YEEEEESSS!!" Me: *DEAD*

I recall these toys in the 80’s and me and my friends looked and looked for them.. no where to be found.

Holy crap. You could argue that these things were built to break.

The skit at the end was great.

I really enjoyed this video. The ending was super funny.

Your Keith voice is spot on!

I felt the same way about the red rex from the original Jurassic park line. I wanted it for Xmas ‘93 but got the young rex instead. I finally achieved that life long goal at age 34 and now have a pristine example standing on my mantle with the rest of my original Kenner JP stuff!

I remember the cartoon advertised on super Sunday long before it premiered. The cartoon is what I remember the most, not so much the toy commercials

Omfg the monsters for other toys bit was especially funny on an Archeresque level

Props to Matt Swafford!! I REALLY enjoyed his insights!!! So spot on!👏👏👏👏But can we talk about how we got Skeletor AND Cobra Commander.... in the same video! 😭🙌🙌 Thank you Michael!!!!😄

I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a series where the monsters/ villains outshined the hero figures to the degree of this one. Much like you said, these monsters would work with a lot of other series, especially given their scale. I hope to get these one day without having to sell a kidney

I used to love the cartoon but i never had the figures either.

What you say, the design of licuidator Is awesone

Had a VHS tape with about 4 episodes of the cartoon as a kid. If you've never watched the cartoon, there are going to be things that don't make sense with the action figures. Decompose was always my favorite.

I loved this cartoon and the toys as a kid. Still have some members of Earth Corps I Will be trying to buy the big three next year at 47 years old.

That ending was classic!! LOL

i loved that end skit.

"getting the thing you never got", how many of us got into collecting for that reason.

I just got Magnokor. I remember seeing him in my childhood though I never had him.

If I was a kid then and wanted the toys, I would've been so disappointed when I found those. I would've just bought a Beast Man or another Skeletor.( My Skeletor would've been trashed in a few days with my Gi Joe team taking him out everyday time after time.)

11:42 just wait until hunk hears about that stun gun

Another awesome video!

until about a year or two ago I didn't even know this existed

I had the 3 inhumanoids, magnacore, granok and the gray tree guy as a kid. I thought they were great. I wish i still had them all. Especially all 3 of the huge inhumanoids

We STILL need a Monsters For Your Other Toys line

You could find smaller companies making extra vehicles and monsters compatible with other toylines. For example my Skeletor didn't ride Panthor (because I didn't have one), but he did ride a two-headed wingless dragon monster that was taller than Battlecat.

Exactly what I needed today! I was ready for the hospital planet. 🏥 🌎
