Is this EPIC or what? 1986 Starcom Shadow Bat vintage toy review 

@@robertwong2412 Very strange how it wasn't more popular in the States. It was a very good toyline. Thanks for watching, Robert! Have a great weekend 🙏🐵

Yeah it's a great toyline but for some reason it never caught on like it should have. Was more popular in Europe than the States, but it sort of came and went pretty quickly. Thanks for watching dude! 👍🙏🐵

@@MonkeyboysToys 👍🏻

Yes, not all the vehicles had the Magna Lock, but the playsets did. The figures are very expensive for their size, but I hope to get at least two for the vehicles I have. I doubt I will be getting more Starcom in the foreseeable future though. Thanks for watching sir! 👍🐵

Hey there! 🖐 Thanks for watching, and thank you for the kind words! Yeah I feel the same, I love the fact that these didn't need batteries. I really don't like most toys with batteries, with the exception of some of the Star Wars vehicles. Hope the video was still enjoyable despite Skeletor being absent this week... See you next time I hope! 👍🙏🐵

@@MonkeyboysToys yeah man, and keep an eye on that crazy horse! It's on the loose I tell you.. it's dangerous!

@@sva3897 hahaha yeah I will. I suspect it might be back one day. Maybe with its friends... 😱

It's a really cool toyline. I wish I had collected some back in the day, as they are very expensive to buy now. I too was distracted by MASK 👍🐵

Yeah this toyline is underrated for sure. If the vehicles weren't so expensive I would have a lot more! Thanks for watching, I really appreciate the support! 👍🐵

Thanks dude, yeah it's a lovely toy. The action on the parasite vehicles is sooooo satisfying to behold. Yes those resistor motors are brilliant, that fizzing noise they make is excellent. It's a pity that the cargo hold mechanism on mine is shot to bits, but I got this for a bargain and I couldn't pass it up at that price. Thanks for watching dude, I appreciate your continued support from the beginning of the channel! 🙏🐵

Thanks for watching Luke! This toyline is really overlooked unfortunately. I can't think of another line that used the gimmick of resistance "motors" as well as this. Some of the action features are mind-boggling when you think of the engineering that was necessary. I'd really like some more of the line, especially the Starbase playset, but I simply don't have the room for the bigger stuff. The Shadow Bat currently lives on my sofa 😅 Cheers dude! 👍🙏🐵

Thanks Andrew, hahaha yes Skeletor is annoyed it's not big enough for him. The Starcom line was really good, it's definitely one of the most overlooked toylines of the 80's. The engineering involved is astounding for what needed to be an affordable toyline (although they were higher-end toys admittedly). I don't think there will ever be a line like this again. Thanks so much for watching dude! 🙏🐵

Some of the engineering in the toys was amazing. When I was a kid this was basically magic 😂 There will never be toys like this again. Thanks for watching man! 👍🐵

It's a great line, isn't it. I think a lot of people are in your situation. Did you have many? Thanks so much for watching the video, I really appreciate the support! 🙏🐵

Thanks so much for watching, Rea! I really appreciate the support! Thank you for the kind words! 👍🙏🐵

I've just realised he is probably getting wise to the fact that, despite your assurances, when it comes to MASK Vehicle Reviews he will be shot or assaulted in some way. ;P

Yes, I too was surprised by his absence. I guess he just had his hands full at the time. Glad you enjoyed the video nonetheless! 🙏🐵

Hey Delod, thanks for the comment! I'm glad the video brought back some good memories for you! This is the only Starcom vehicle I have at the moment, but it's a great one! Thank you for checking out the video, it really supports the channel! Have a great week sir! I 👍🐵

Dude, you have just blown my mind. That makes perfect sense! Why didn't I think of that? I'm gonna try that immediately and will get back to you. 👍👍🐵

Right, I've just done it on the ground and it works perfectly! I am such a doofus. I feel like such an idiot now. Thanks so much for pointing that out. I thought mine was broken, but instead I was just doing it wrong! I may revisit the Bat in a future video so that I can rectify my mistake and point out how to do it properly! Thanks so much for letting me know. I feel like such a turkey now lol 😅 This information has made my day! Thank you for watching and leaving a comment, Trei. I really appreciate the support. Have a great day sir 👍🙏🐵

Haha, well if you tried, you were puffling successfully. Now wash your hands. Thanks for watching my friend! Sorry this wasn't an amusing video but there was a bit too much to cover and I didn't feel like messing about. 🐵

@@MonkeyboysToys It was still good, Mr. Monkeyboy. They don't all have to be corkers, as it were, we appreciate your efforts none-the-less. :)

There's a Shadow Vampire too, and that looks amazing so I might have to hunt down a complete one at some point, after I've robbed a bank or sold a kidney...🐵

@@MonkeyboysToys I would hope you would get more from robbing a bank than selling a kidney, but maybe that's the state the UK is in at the moment. ;P

Yup, this comment got through okay 👍

@@MonkeyboysToys Always worth checking, wouldn't have known without a second means of communication! poor show RU-vid! Grrr!
