.... But just think of how powerful the Punisher and Thanos would be if they teamed up together using Punisher’s crotch cannon with Thanos Infinity Gauntlet?!? Thanos’ gold plated hand grip with all the encrusted Infinity Stones could give the Punisher’s crotch cannon infinite plasma bursts from the most potent HJ in all the galaxy! Lol 😂
HAHA! I made most of the accessories for the Maximum Sweat line! The independent toy designer I worked for did the figures, and came up with their look, but I'm pretty sure Jakks added the sweat feature after the fact themselves. It was definitely... uh, unexpected
OH YES... Just remembered, that line was called Maximum Attitude the whole time we worked on it. Jakks totally added the sweat thing at the 11th hour. And at TRU, they actually had shelf tags for it that said Maximum Attitude for a short time.
Proud to say I had the Ghostbusters' toilet ghost and many of Crash Test Dummies figures including the baby and the roadkill dog and cat when I was a kid. Glad to see they're getting some recognition many years later.
Come on, haven't we all gone out, late on a Saturday night, wearing a Wolverine skin suit and tried to hit on the ladies, with our cool unblinking eyes, unmoving lips, horribly molded still flesh face?
The only one of these I ever actually had was that Mystique figure, back in the day... And I remember pretty soon after getting it, losing that rubbery Wolverine ‘over suit’. On purpose.
Number 1...Punisher Now you know why the ladies call him The Punisher... Launch that rocket! As always totally enjoy your news/reviews/and singing the toy blues
Yeah I remember having the ENTIRE Toy Biz collection of X-men movie licensed figures and let me tell you they were BIZARRE af. Toad came with a soft plastic green puke and a large tongue. Jean Grey came with a mutated Senator Kelly, in the movie he turns into water but oh boy... the toy had a much worse ending. Cyclops came with Jean Grey in a very strange position covered in a green force field she looked like she was about to give a blow job to cyclops but the worst was defiantly Mystique, I still have her but the Wolverine flacid skin melted on the figure and then years later the plastic got super hard to remove so now I’m stuck with a mutated version of Mystique fusioned with wolverine in a kinda Carpenter’s “The Fly” version.
Oh my, that Punisher at No. 1 made me lose it and break into an out loud giggle in the middle of the office... It was doubly awkward when people came over to check what was the fuss about...
I was hoping Toy Galaxy would go there, too, since it's a pretty obvious and glaring if laughable flaw the figure has. Instead they went the usual woke "omg sexism" route. Cos women HATE beauty products.
The side of meat Rocky practices on is actually one of the best acted characters in the Rocky series. It certainly deserves an action figure of its own.
My thoughts on some of the toys in no particular order: On "Ravishing" April: disappointed you didn't use a certain Bonnie Tyler song. (and now a certain piano intro is playing in your head!) On the GB Toilet Terror: ah, yes toilet humor never gets old. And yes, that's supposed to be the creature's nose under the lid. Must've took the designers some restraint to not paint it brown! On Aunt May: didn't know Pete's auntie moonlighted as a Dick Tracy villain. Or a stand-in for Wayland Flowers' Madam puppet. On "Punishing Frank": guess if the vigilante gig didn't work out, he could audition for Choda Boy!
I started laughing out loud at “ravishing April O’Neil” and didn’t stop until the end of the video. Well done gentlemen. The photos Of Mystique were hysterical, each one funnier than the last.
*I can't believe you didn't include FISTO from Master's of the Universe!* He comes in armor that already looks like fetish gear, which you can remove, so he has on nothing but tiny fur briefs. And his name is Fisto. Like, that's already enough. I'm 100% sure Castle Grayskull has the universe's kinkiest fetish dungeon in the basement, and Fisto is the dom in charge.
Raptor looked awesome. I have two of him. If he's guilty of anything it's terrible backstory. Fearsome flush probably inspired the slime bathtub in Ghostbusters 2 but yeah the show did do a lot of that "possession of objects stuff" so maybe not. I have no problems with it especially growing up with a father that frequently bought the gross monster toys for his kids, like "Monsterface" and "Madballs", probably because he wanted them himself. You could argue it tries to make a joke of a kid's fear to lessen it. What's more concerning is the volume of toilet theme toys on the market today. As a kid in the 80s/90s I would have liked Ravishing April for the fact that so few toy lines actually made women characters because they "didn't sell" and if they DID make them they looked more like the male figures i.e. Ripley or ESPECIALLY Hannah Dundee from Cadillacs and Dinosaurs. Rough. If you think removable skirts are questionable you should look up Miss Elizabeth from LNJ's Wrestling Superstars. Those Sweaty wrestlers look like they have awesome sculpts. Last thing, that The MEAT figure is awesome. Plus if you got enough of them you could recreate the slaughter house from Predator 2.
Lol I had Falconor and the toilet lmfao I was a weird kid. Good God I had that Aunt May thing figure out of my head for years. Well nightmare city here I come. Thanks Toy Galaxy.
I feel the same way about Raptor and any animal carrying animal mimicry character. Still have my Raptor, & used to have a Skid the Kid. Great video as always guys!
Great list! Haven't read all the comments but I actually owned the Ghostbusters toilet, the crash test dummy baby, AND the sweating Rock figure! Cool to see them all show up here.
The comic in which they introduced Raptor was weird but funny, the unmasked but disguised Cobra Commander ridicules him, also asking "What do you sleep in? A nest?" Raptor does assure him, the costume is only to settle the birds he's training, to look upon him like a 'big brother' somehow. (Hyeah. Nah.)
Wow it’s been 5 years and I’ve watched this video nearly six times. There’s so many good funny moments! Excellent job here! This is always a fun video to come back to. I have a Spidey figure from the adventure gear set. Mine is a Ninja Spidey. Ninja Spidey makes a lot of sense to me, but I’m certainly confused as to why he would need to dress up as a Fisherman, an archer, or even a bug Catcher! Ha haha ha!
Plot Twist! Falconer IS Zartan! Cobra doesnt pay mercs a lot so he got the second gig to make ends meet. Had he join Cobra officially he could have gotten befits as well as better pay.
I owned Skid the Kid, and he was awesome. The whole point of the Crash Dummies line was the sick humor, so yeah, the people who made this deserve our congratulations. They took a big risk in the interest of cheap laughs and got away with it.
This was a really fun list with a lot of original choices. Great stuff! 👍 P.S I had that freaky Mystique. That whole line had some really strange accessories...
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Love it. I'm sure there are enough what the Frank's out there for three of these lists. Aunt May....yeeeesh. No wonder Tony Stark can't keep his eyes off of Marisa Tomei's version. 😀
There is a toy series I'm trying to remember, it wasn't transformers, but you had realistic looking vehicles that could open up to reveal battle fortresses, and it came with small figures (Starcom size, and just plastic) to use in them. One of the toys I had that I do remember was a black F-4 Phantom, the fuel tanks became missile launchers, the mid-section opened up to reveal the battle station parts. I feel like it was something like "X-changers" or "Exchangers" but hadn't seen anything on it. Great channel btw, and would love to see a History on Air Raiders and Sky Commanders.
I had a couple of the Maximum Sweat guys. In addition to being weird as all get out, they didn't even work right. Another Jakks WWE line that was ridiculous was STOMP, which stood for " Special Tactical Operations Military Police ". They all had the same body and terrible head sculpts, and came with weapons and tactical vests. The first series was actually kind of interesting as it was full of people who had been out with injury, and this toyline claimed that was the real reason. That was thrown out by series 2 though. Even better, Series 2 was underwater themed, and in series three (excuse me, this needs all caps) THEY WENT TO SPACE!!!!!!! Also, the series 2 Steve Austin looks like Bat Child from Weekly World News. Of course, I had all of them. :)
In 5th-6th grade, the way my best friend and I played GI Joes was via Wrestling federations. We each had our own league, and when we had sleepovers we'd script a supercard. Raptor was my World Champ, Croc Master was my friend Tim's.
Great list, Lol! The Famous Covers line had some definite gems (Iron Man, Thor & Wolverine were cool) but the Aunt May was nightmare fuel. Raptor was one of my favorite Cobras as a kid for the same reason, lol. I never knew they made a kid in The Crash Test Dummies line. For a time there ToyBiz was cranking out all kinds of WTF, lol.
