Tim's Russian Toys 

0:47 I love how the Santa figure takes a step back into position.

I got emotional when Tim said he'd blew up those Russian balloons just for me.

I am so happy to see Tim playing with toys from my country. Здоровья Вам, Тим, и всего самого наилучшего! Cheers!

"I picked this up about 20 years ago." How big was his shopping spree in 1997?

A former neighbor of mine who was 5 Years old living in Berlin in 1945 after WW2, told me that a Russian soldier carved a toy with five picking chickens and gave it to her. Now (30 Years after I heard it), I see such a toy for real. Just as I imagined it. Beautiful, thank You!

I hate matryoshka dolls. They're so full of themselves.

The windup toy is supposed to represent a very common movement in Russian folk dance, when women walk in small fast steady steps, while their feet are invisible under the skirt, so that they appear to be sliding or floating on the floor. Also you should get the wooden reciprocating toy with a bear and a man working hammers or sawing, i think those are the most iconic of this type.

The little mechanical wooden toy with the bird and the wolf appears to be a depiction of the old Aesop fable of the wolf and the crane. The wolf was choking on a bone and promised that anyone who could pull the bone out of his throat would get a great reward. The crane volunteered to do it. So he stuck his head into the wolf's mouth, stuck his beak down the wolf's throat and pulled out the bone. Afterwards when he wanted his reward the wolf just said," You've had your head in my mouth and I didn't snap it off! That should be enough of a reward for you!" Then the wolf left and the hapless crane realized that 1) Assholes often make promises they don't intend on keeping just to get what they want (Just look at the world of politics!) and 2) Even if you should save their life don't expect any rewards from assholes!!

I'm from Russia and really glad to see this!

That's it Tim was an agent deep behind Soviet lines back during the cold war.....of course his cover story stuck on...."The Toy Collector, the reds run when the collector is out collecting"

This channel Never runs out of ideas wtf and how many toys do you have tim..

Recently stumbled across this channel. Has the new standing record as the fastest I've clicked subscribe. I've got a fussy 4 week old baby. Tim's videos are wonderfully age appropriate and stimulating for both of us 😊 they truly work a special magic with her. I have a hunch this is the start of a new mother daughter tradition- watching his content together for as long as he continues creating it.

Ну куда же без матрёшек, матрёшки наше всё! Хотя я бы ещё добавил неваляшку и Юлу!

Matryoshka bandits? How about *cheeki breeki*

Tim should be in movies and do TEDx talks about toys.

0:51 я даже забыла, что у меня такая заводная "барышня" была)) Мне она в детстве казалась дофига странной, потому что это же типа тётка в платье, но она железная и на колёсиках.. что-то тут не так))))))

"I sometimes feels like it's Christmas everyday" - Tim

A penny saved is half the battle... yeah for gambling addicts.

"ah yes, this one here. one of my favorites if i do say so myself." *pulls out a letter b* "heh."

2:14 The duck ducked.

Я и не знал, что у нас есть такие игрушки. А он знает.

lol what if he pulls out an AK-47 and says "this is a toy all russians love"

Tim is too modest to admit that he got a collection of genuine Fabergé eggs at home. Six are still thought to be lost. We know where they really are.

He seems a very humble guy who can tell you a story and sleeps in his chair all day

I need someone in my life that tells me "Well Done" when I fall on my face

In Soviet Russia, fidget spinners spins only in one direction..

Water from the Volga

As a russian, seeing all those old toys is very nostalgic for me. I'm young and only remember them from the kindergarten @w@

American toys in the 80s-90s: IT CONTAINS THE WHOLE COLOR WHEEL AND TAKES 27 DOUBLE A BATTERIES! IT CAN CLEAN YOUR HOUSE, WALK THE DOG, COOK, CLEAN, SWEEP THE FLOORS- Russian toys in the 80s-90s: *кукла* 🗿

0:59 nope nope nope 4:50 NOPE NAH SCREW THIS

Отличные игрушки, Тим. Рад, что они тебе понравились.

He is really reviewing uncommon toys and connecting the cultures. Literally I was blown up by the russian toys(old).

Noone: Not even ur mom: Not even Tim: That duck in the background at 2:13: boink

2:15 That duck just wanted to be in frame so bad 🐥😂

Show us the room where I keep all of ur toys

This guys genuine enthusiasm and joy is one of the the most pure things I've seen all year

Thats what i wanna do when im 70 years old

That is not Santa Claus. He is called Grandfather Frost. Interesting to see some of these toys :) I have had some of these as a kid :)

This is so strange. I have never seen such toys in our country. It seems to be, that they are too far in history already, or they are can be created just for tourists.

Therapist: Russian Spinning Lady isn't real she can't hurt you 0:59

Tim never fails to make me happy

How could anyone not like Tim

I literally had this recommended to me and now I’m hooked

I use these videos to sleep at night

11:01 "absolutely prjujrs"

I had a beautiful wooden pecking hen toy when I was younger given to me by my uncle as a souvenir from Russia, it was my favorite thing to play with every day, so simple yet soo satisfying! Thank you Tim for bringing me back to my childhood 🥰❣

Всем привет из России!) Hello everyone from Russia!

H E H count: 0:20 1:18 3:21 3:55 11:16 The hehs are running dry....

You are a compassionate man you have a warm heart. I respect that in a human.

This is an interesting time for this to be recommended to me...

I remember playing with these for years

Vodka from the Nile

The sounds of the wooden pecking birds made me feel relaxed.

From Russia with toys....

RU-vid recommendations: Tim's russian toys Me, a russian: *Ah, yes. I do not know enough.*

Ded Morose (Granfather Cold), it's russian Santa Claus

Your collection greatly exceeds mine. Great stuff. I've been collecting antiques for a few years now but I hardly see toys anymore.

Tim is the Martyn Poliakoff of toys

The caption: "families of thigh" Ah yes families of thighs, such classy families

Nothing like a old man showing how he plays with his toys.

This reminds me of a toy store in Portland OR I visited a lot as a kid. Lots of fanciful and complicated wooden toys, vivid tin toys, toy trains.. they had these big airplane models and flying animal toys hanging from the cieling and the walls from floor to ceiling were covered in toys from around the world. It was especially lively around Christmas when they'd string up those old big glass lights (I think they're called c series bulbs?) round the brick building and all the children would come to play in the warm store during the cold day. If you're from Portland you might have similar fond childhood memories of the tree lighting in pioneer square and the Christmas decorations throughout the city :) The toy store closed a while ago. I wish I could go back so badly though, it was a lovely little place.

I'm surprised that you didn't name the video "From Russia, With love" ...

This man had a golden egg in his pocket the whole time and we didnt even know

Привет из России. Всем добра!

ok those weird spinning toys you showed are REALLY neat. Especially the one that's completely smooth, because it totally befuddles me to how it even works.

4:48 - that was creepy

Russian Bogorodsk wooden toys are very interesting - some of them were shown in this video. I even had one of them manyyears ago. Yep, i'm Russian

PLZ BE MY GRANDPAPI

Honestly I would ask how I ended up here but I kind of like this. He talk so softly and it's so peaceful

I like to inject myself with soggy bread and stare at a microwave on Tuesdays.

A penny saved is half the battle! GI JOE!

Самое интересное , что эти игрушки почти никто не имел , кроме матрёшки

Those are actually very funny! I will buy some of those toys for my kids when I have kids.

in soviet Russia toys play youuu!!

this guy honestly needs to record audio books! something about his voice is just great to listen to

What are the plastic squares at the end called?

Oh the joys of RU-vid algorithms led me here!! I absolutely love the bears playing music toy. So whimsical and unique 😍🤩

Isn't it Дед Мороз instead of Santa Claus?

A penny saved is half the battle.

Thumb this up if you want to see where/how Tim stores all his toys.

Nobody: Absolutely nobody: 2:13 duck: Boi

Вы такой хороший! НАслушаться не могу!) Спасибо огромное за ваши видео!)

You know the drill but do you know the screwdriver?

I love this man with my whole heart

This wooden toy with bird and wolf is made becouse of a story about bird that tried to take sharp bone from wolf throat.

I have one of those wooden toys, my grandpa got them in the USSR in the 70's when he went skiing there. One is a bear nailing a birdhouse to a tree, and the other is a band of bears playing drums and cymbals.

7:24 Comunism fidget spinner.

Old people: finger fidgets Generation 2004-2017: fidget spinners Smart people: Small rounded triangle shaped thing with a barren to make it spin clock wise, or non clock wise.

In Soviet Russia...TOYS COLLECT YOU!!!!

The racoon-like animal is a sable, an extremely important animal in Russian trade history. It was the source of furs even more beautiful than those of ermines (although they are related species, sables have a very colourful black coat), and that was one of the reason Rus, a country so disorderly we literally hired Vikings to uphold order (and the word Rus comes from the finish name for Vikings) was able to unite out royal family with that of Bysanthemum and even became its successor later on.

Why is there Nile comments on all tims videos? Can someone fill me in?

5:30 - я помню такую игрушку у моей бабушки Ни телефонов, ни планшетов. Сидишь себе в песочнице, лепишь куличики, а дома в такую игрушку "гамаешь". Тихое, мирное детство I remember that toy from my grandma. No phones, no tablets. Just sandbox and those wooden things. I also remember a big wooden horse (comparing to child me) with curved floor, so you can actually sort of ride on it. Peaceful, low paced childhood.

Russians from the nile

Opening credits animation even has Tims jolly, rotund tummy.

If he were my grandpa i'd be spending my weekends at his place. I'm 27.

Did he own a giant toy store in the past? "Sir do you have toys from anywhere?" Say no more.
