My Mighty Max collection is exploding and in today's episode I'm reviewing all of the latest sets I've added to my collection, from creepy Doom Zones like Mighty Max Crushes the Hand, to the epic battle fortress Mighty Max Blasts Magus, a Happy Meal toy and even copy cat line Body Wars and the dodgy knock-off Sammy Steel vs The Micro Mob!
I was super into creepy monster and other macabre stuff as a kid but somehow no one told me about Mighty Max! Yet despite the lack of any nostalgic connection I am all in on these wicked little playsets. Bluebird Toys, take a bow!!
If you're a fan or collector of Mighty Max definitely check out my buddy Leigh (@fomotoys) on Instagram and give him a follow. Not only is he a knowledgeable collector and creative dude who posts rad content, but you can get more info about how to get your hands on his awesome book, The Toys of Mighty Max:

If you're a collector here in Australia, definitely follow my man Carl from Retro Cartel Collectables, he's a stand-up guy and always reps the toy scene here with awesome items he sells online and at toy fairs.

Hopefully some of you watching this were enlightened on the awesomeness of Mighty Max as a kid and you had an absolute ball in these little worlds. If so, I'd love to hear some of your memories in the comments or on Instagram (@crushercollects).
Thank you for watching🙏
This video is aimed at nostalgic adult toy collectors and enthusiasts over the age of 13.

I love that when you’re describing the play sets, you sound like a wine connoisseur! “The teal overtones with the vertical play base tickle the pallet with modest yet robust features” 😂

@ScottCrusher Год назад

My palette is highly sophisticated when it comes to Mighty Max😂 I forget to mention the aromas though, wonderfully playful scents, especially when you swirl them!🧐😂

@SoCalShaolin Год назад

Growing up my little brother was a big mighty max fan. I was a little too old for it. Now as an adult collector I’m appreciating them more. Watching your mighty max collection and pickups has me wanting some lol If I see a great deal I might have to give in. For now I’m enjoying them in your videos.

@ScottCrusher Год назад

Thanks Socal! That's the cool thing about this ToyTube community... it's not possible to collect everything, but it's cool to share in the joy through other collectors on here. If you have the chance to find a good deal on a couple of complete sets I'd definitely grab them, and maybe once you have them in your hand that will convert you to a fully fledged MM collector!

High praise brother, I appreciate the support always! 👊🍻

Another great MightyMax video Scott! 🍻So cool to get a close up look at all those details. Sammy Steel on the belt, oh yeah what a look 😆

@ScottCrusher Год назад

Cheers Phil! Haha rolling up on the neighbourhood kids playing with their Mighty Max sets and you've got the Sammy Steel proudly hanging on the belt😂😂

The blast magus was one of my favorite toys growing up. ❤ This is nostalgic to me. Hits me right in the feels. Got that thing for Christmas 96 or 97. I miss it.

@ScottCrusher 6 месяцев назад

I wasn't sold on Magus until I had it in my hand but it is a work of toy art! Incredible piece! You must have had a blast with it (no pun intended😆)

@geekstrong1 Год назад

I recently picked up 2 mighty max sets this year, I never purchased them in the 90's but after watching friends like you showing your collection I needed to add a few sets to my collection. 💪😉 I definitely want a few more.

@ScottCrusher Год назад

Dude! I actually spotted those Mighty Max sets in one of your recent videos. Are they complete? Definitely fun additions to the collection, they certainly pop on the shelf👌

@totallytaylorretrohunters Год назад

Mate that was a absolutely awesome episode great detail in those playset. You got my nostalgia going for these now. Thank you 😂

@ScottCrusher Год назад

I appreciate that mate, glad I could dial up the nostalgia for the line!😆

@sus30t Год назад

To think these things were on a production line and the paint on every toy is perfect painted, mighty max is amazing!

@ScottCrusher Год назад

You're right, McDonalds toys aside, these Mighty Max sets are perfect, from sculpt, to paint to engineering!

@Chasing80sToys Год назад

Another Great video on these small playsets. Such an underdog line that deserves that spotlight. 👍

@ScottCrusher Год назад

I appreciate that Chris! I agree mate, definitely an underdog toy line that deserves a bit more love in my opinion👍

@Seraphim2611 Год назад

Dude, the nostalgia is so strong for MM. Thanks for another great video, Scott.

@ScottCrusher Год назад

It's weird mate, somehow I didn't know about these as a kid, but even still they feel like a perfect embodiment of 90s toys, so I can imagine the nostalgia would be off the chart if I had them back in the day! Thanks heaps dude👊

@ReynoldsReviews Год назад

Once again Scott you are taking me to school as I’ve never seen any of these mini playsets, and the knock of one was cool as hell too! Always enjoy Crusher Collects because I always learn something 😃👍 Great episode as always Scotty, flawless presentation once again 👍

@ScottCrusher Год назад

Thanks heaps Luke, I always appreciate your support and kind feedback mate! I'm more than happy to shine a light on these awesome 90s toys that don't quite get the shine that Star Wars, MOTU, TMNT, etc enjoy! Cheers buddy🍻

@keeponcollecting Год назад

Can we please get a short with you hanging Sammy Steel on you belt walkin around the neighborhood? GOLD! Brainface's name made me audibly giggle 😂 Im thinking i might get a MM book from Leigh. Im loving your love for these sets and i love watching this collection expand ❤ so Im feeling the love too 👍😍

@ScottCrusher Год назад

Hahaha I might have to "wear" Sammy Steel and the Dome of Doom to the next Collector Con😂 I'm glad to hear you enjoyed Matt, and I definitely think The Toys of Mighty Max would make an awesome addition to the KOC Library😁

@DarkROSkull013 Год назад

I had that yeti toy as a kid. Looking at it now, it doesn't look like much, but I remember having a blast with it back in the day. I think that's the main draw of MM: it has enough features to facilitate play and still leave enough room for the child to work in imagination and creativity. Thanks for sharing.

@ScottCrusher Год назад

I believe it! It was that same childhood imagination that let me have a ball using a crumpled up blanket as a playset for my action figures back in the day. Mighty Max was definitely an incredible platform to act out all those play scenarios and let the imagination and creativity go wild. Thanks for watching mate :)

@DarkROSkull013 Год назад

@@ScottCrusher ahaha yeah I can relate to that. Even the sculpted details were enough to get the imagination rolling. You could easily pretend the characters make use of these even when they're really not. You're welcome bro. Again, thanks for sharing :)

@ScottCrusher Год назад

@DarkROSkull013 For sure! That's why articulation never bothered me as a kid, you imagine the characters fighting and doing crazy stuff even if the figure's movement was limited!

@TheRetroTinker Год назад

Mighty max sets are so cool and now I’m dangerously close to start collecting them!😂 I always wanted one when I was a kid, I never got myself a brand name one but I did manage to save my allowance and get myself a cheap knockoff from the local general store. I’m pretty sure it was some kind of skull shaped pirate island. Thanks for sharing Scott!

@ScottCrusher Год назад

Cheers Nate! Oh man, I highly recommend you pick up a couple of these sets (at least). They're fun to play around with and display great on the shelf. That actually sounds really cool, now I must track down this knock-off skull island pirate set!🔍

Great video. These are a lot of fun to look at. My son and I were playing with the four i had growing up the other day. Too bad most of the mini figs are broken. Still fun tho.

@ScottCrusher Год назад

I appreciate that! Oh that's awesome, broken mini-figures isn't ideal, but it's great you still have them, I'm sure many fell victim to the vacuum cleaner in the 90s😂

@ScottCrusher Год назад

Wolfship 7 and the Palace of Poison, two killer sets right there with great mini-figures!

@phlebiax5592 Год назад

Good job finding those new additions to MM. The search and money for complete sets you're missing is going to be harder! I know that feeling! Especially the rare ones. For so far i got: Doom zones series 1 til 3 complete Dreadheads complete Horrorheads: only missing Freako! Monster Heads: need them all Shrunken heads: only need the 6 rare ones. Battle Masters: only needs 4 of them Magus, Dragon Island, Skull Master/mountain

@ScottCrusher Год назад

Dude! You're killing it with the MM collecting! Yes indeed, no cheap Doom Zones from here on out, but fingers crossed. Why is it that the scarcer ones are some of the coolest, like Nautilus and Freako... Thanks for watching and supporting, and good luck on the hunt to complete your collection!

@danleonard3110 Год назад

Mighty Max Squishes Fly is my fav. I use Velcro to stick my sets to the wall so the fly works great for that. Not sure how underrated the sets are tho the prices are going up by the day it seems!

@ScottCrusher Год назад

Yeah you raise a good point there, I remember picking up the Maneater complete for like $18 Aussie dollars a few years ago, now I'm generally having to pay double that or more for these doom zones, so the line seems to be getting more love nowadays. Squishes the Fly is a wicked set, definitely one of my favourites!👌

@ScottCrusher Год назад

Yeah, unless you've had the series 1 Doom Zone Max figures, they will be the older looking Max, which, personally I think looks better anyway! I like how the more teenage looking Max always had the red cap. I'm not a huge fan of the blue and green caps that you see on the older generation figures.
