Toyshop on Tour Collector Special - Jonathan Ross - Denys Fisher - Diaclone - Micronauts - Mego 

I love that you can pause the video at just about any point in the episode and zoom around the background to see any number of incredible things they didn’t even get a chance to talk about. It’s like the toy collector’s ultimate cabinet of curiosities.

Jonathan's passion is wonderful to see. Thank you for this video.

I think I enjoyed this more than any museum or gallery I've ever been to

Jonathan's the ultimate nerd. Has been for years. He knows his Marvel, DC, manga, Star Wars et al. And it's great his wife has similar tastes.

What a legend. Hard to find anyone as passionate about there collection anywhere.

Absolutely glorious!!! A nerds dream come true 😍

As a tv presenter I went off Johnathan Ross years ago, but as a fellow toy collector, I could spend all day discussing toys with him. You gave him and his collection the attention they deserved - unlike Fiona Bruce on an Antiques Roadshow Toy special that was shown last month, in which she characteristically mocked him and gave him all of what, 5 mins airtime? My biggest regret was selling my 500 plus Action Man collection to Alan Hall....wish I'd never done it. Prices went up the moment I had sold them to him....if I ever become wealthy I shall buy up a shedload of mint items again....one can dream...

Actually loved this. I've obviously heard for years and years about how he's into comics and toys but I never knew fully to what extent, I wasn't expecting anything like this, and I still didn't get to see any comics, just awesome though. I reckon he probably loved having the chance to show it off a bit too.

I feel better about myself and my collection now, seeing Ross has created an entire civilization in his own home.

Every time I learn a new thing about Jonathan Ross I love him more.

Jonathan is a collector too i love it, never would of guessed it.

40:00 RESPECT when he commissioned the piece and distributed the prints!

Amazing. Never ever thought he was a collector and a massive one at that.

What a sound bloke. You can tell he genuinely enjoys being around ppl who also collect. Top video lads

👍👍👍Nice video lots of vintage toys

Knew he was a collector didn't;t realize how much of a comprehensive knowledge he had though pretty impressive was hoping he would mention Warren magazines with his Vampirella poster

There's me thinking my hot wheels collection was getting out of control, amazing collection amazing to see all these toys.

I don't think Jonathan took a breath the whole episode!! If you want to know what passion looks like this is it. Incredible and good on him for living his best life.

This is the longest I’ve ever watched Jonathan Ross.

Jonathan's one of those ultimate collectors that we all aspire to be one day. His collection is his personality, and his personality comes out in his collection. Its individual, Fantastic to see it.

I’m no toy collector but I seriously enjoyed watching that

This needs a sequel. Hopefully Jonathan agrees to do more in depth.

Great scoop to have a chat with Rossy… Brilliant 👍👏👏👏👏👏

I live in the states and my first introduction to Jonathan Ross was from a small clip of him on the Nirvana documentary: Live, Tonight, Sold Out. I never would have ever imagined that he was a fellow toy collector and artist. Mr. Ross comes across as a very passionate and dedicated collector. His collection showcases his keen eye for the art of vintage toys. Through his collection (as well as his own artistic contributions) he is providing a much needed service of preserving a great history. This was a brilliant video, well done!

Congrats Joe, looked like an amazing day!

Anime toy at 5:00 is Space Battleship Yamato (U.S. dub name Star Blazers), not sure of the iteration as there were feature films and a TV series (and later reboots which this isn't)

Wow, this is a great episode!

Don't mind me, just rewatching this video for the 4th time. 👋

Absolutely fantastic episode. Brand new sub here from the States. Didn’t know what kind of gift the RU-vid algorithm gave me until a few minutes in. Jonathan Ross and his collection are fascinating. My new favorite channel. Cheers.

My respect for Jonathan Ross's toy collection and his knowledge has gone off the roof. Amazing how the person you least expect to be a toy collector is the uber toy collector.

Thanks algorithm for recommending this!

Knew this was going to be good when he rocked up in the Rocky 4 tracksuit 😂

58:00 OH GOD... I did that too... ...Bought the 1985 reboot of Wacky Packages, and the store still had a straggler of 1970s "Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind" gum cards. I bought them, was riding my bicycle home... almost veered off the road, spitting out the CRUMBLING, BITTER DUST that had been the stick from the Close Encounters one lol. I stopped my bike and laughed at myself.

This was such a fun watch! Didn't know Jonathan Ross was THAT big of a nerd until now.

This was the gateway to ToyShop on tour videos. Such a great series and love this video. Wossy’s collection is awesome.

Wow, possibly the best video I've seen on you tube. Credit must go to the amazing production and the great Leicester team for actually letting him speak at length. I remember his anime program on channel 4 about 20 years ago when no one had heard of animie. Changed my life. Impossible not to instantly want an entire micronauts collection now. I thought I had heard of everything, I was wrong. Downside of such a great video is that micronauts prices are now virtually doubled.... sad face. Didn't he say he has another office? Part 2 please?

Amazingly unpretentious guy! Huge collection to share and not a hint of snobbery. Plus the shout-outs to artists like Ken Kelly and AcroRay. Pretty impressed by his own customs. ( a lot of toy collectors could learn from this)

A great distilled collection of the great eras of cool toys.

Fantastic vid, very entertaining 🙏

If I had Jonathan Ross’s money I’d be the toy shop assassin! Fair play to him, what a lovely fella

Such a great idea to customise the Barbie helicopter with the Batman colour scheme, perfect fit

Truly brilliant! Gail Porter, Keith Lemon/Leigh Francis and Idris Elba are other celeb toy collectors and if you could book them as guests, it would be great!

the diorama on the shelf early on is from ... space battleship yamato. i recognised matsumoto's character designs, and the katakana title is spottable.

47:49 Nice to see the Wolverine from 'The Classic Marvel Figurine Collection' on the shelf - I think that might be the one we sent him when I worked on it at Eaglemoss.

That Ken Kelly painting is awesome.

WoW 🤩 so much fun to watch !!

I knew Jonathan Ross was a comics guy but this was a lovely surprise! I recently purchased the marvel four part 'x men and the micronauts '. Never had any of the toys, though I do have a microman that wears a Godzilla outfit. Must have purchased it about ten years ago.

This is what collecting is all about, an extension of what interests you in life and what importance you draw from it, exhibited so you can share with others what you find so intruiging about it. Whether its toys or any other form of popular culture, I'm glad there are people out there that have such a fascination and passion for such things, I hope Johnathan (and any other collectors) do more videos like this I could watch this all day!

I remember Jonathan Ross introducing me to adult anime late night on UK TV. The kids today have a lot to thank this man for.

Oh wow! Never seen your channel but this is huge to get Jonathon Woss, was my favourite presenter on TV

Wow collecting royalty You pair are going up in the world

I think The Phantom is as big as it is in Australia mainly because it seemed to be almost always be the comic book you would receive inside if you brought a showbag from any show/carnival, etc

12:21 - I love that red car. So cool.

Schooled by Jonathan Ross = Priceless. Such knowledge and passion for his amazing collection. Great video!

I get the feeling Mr Ross had as much fun showing it off as you did admiring it. What a collection!

3rd time watching this episode. Yep still brilliant

awesome to hear the stories and facts. cool toys. before my time a bit but i like them

The battleship Yamamoto toy. All I could hear was the theme tune lol

Kudos to the cameraman!

I'm now gonna call my style of collecting,buying and displaying Jonathan Rossing it Excellent! Cheers 🍻 👏 ✌️ 🥂 🍻

Jonathan has met some of the biggest names in film & music but still takes time to show his collection with such passion & childlike excitement. Beautiful ✌🏾

great video! jonathan is a true enthusiast, very knowledgeable and clearly proud to show off his superb collection

I like his tv show but now i love him because of his hobby❤😊

Jonathan Ross has incredible taste in vintage toys. What a marvelous collection. Thank you for sharing.

I mean this in the most complimentary way possible, Jonathan Ross is a massive nerd.

Toy heaven. I could spend ages in that room

‘I don’t buy modern toys…’ HASLAB Sentinel on the table. 😂😂😂😂😂

What an incredible collection! It's takes a lot of work and dedication to source, collect and display a stunning collection like that. It's almost museum like 👍 Thank you for sharing and thank you Johnathon for talking us through your individual unique items.

Amazing, he seems like a really nice guy who obviously knows what he’s talking about, that was one hell of a collection and let’s face it if we had the means who wouldn’t have an “office “ like that!

MY GOD. What a collection. What a show. Made my Christmas - thank you guys xxx

I was wandering who's hoovering up all the micronauts🤣

I love that he paints, makes and creates too and not just a collector. Brill Elvis portrait by Vic hahaa. Great show, better than Channel 5 top 50 toys of 1983.

Would love another part if Jonathan was keen, would love to see Jonathan’s comic collection too!

Please let us visit Johnathan! It’s so important to see your presence for all toy collectors. I am totally blown away by the collection and passion.…hopefully we can see much more of him, might be nice if you could slow him downs a bit so we can see the figures a bit more before moving on so quickly.

This is so awesome. I definitely like Jonathan Ross a lot more now

Jonathan has just become my favourite celebrity...

Wow, that’s quite a collection!! 😮

Ridiculous!!!! What an episode!! I genuinely had no idea Jonathan Ross was a toy collector, how did this pass me by! I mean what collection 😮. Sooo many lines I didn’t know anything about or even existed! Crazy knowledge on Jonathan too! Loved it 👏👏

A bonus TSOT episode - this has suddenly become the best Boxing Day ever!!

This, this is what RU-vid was meant for

Amazing had no idea Jonathan was such a collector such a nerd love it !! Nothing better than when nerds get rich 🤣

What a great video. You guys couldn't get a word in edgeways. I met Jonathan years ago (mid 80's) and he was a real pleasure to talk to.

Galactic Patrol Lensman (23:45) was a 1984 feature and TV series. It had a lot of original mecha design that made for a bit different toys, models, etc. Got a bit of attention for as mentioned, being based on a US science fiction book property rather than manga. Though I think at least as much publicity for hybrid cel animation and computer graphic space ships.

This is unreal..love the fact hes got the first issue of 2000ad framed in his toilet..feckin awesome Jonathan..!!

Having his toy collection mixed in with the punk memorabilia had me replaying all sorts of scenes just to take in the background items!

12:04 Space Battleship Yamato

wow, what a fantastic opportunity to meet JR and explore his amazing toy collection! Nice one! Btw, I love Joe's t-shirt :D

I collect Crash Bandicoot figures and it's a tough, expensive thing to do. I can't imagine how much Mr Ross has spent on his collection, and I can't begin to fathom all the knowledge he has regarding obscure figure lines! It's hard enough to remember Crash Bandicoot merchandise! Haha!

This is fantastic, thankyou for this fellas. This further solidifies just how legendary Jonathan Ross is!

What an entertaining hour, was like hanging out with Jonathan and his toys.

This was wonderful. Jonathan's long been known for being a right old nerd, bless but I wasn't expecting him to be such a hardcore Micronauts guy! And Lensman! Plus I laughed out loud when he showed off the Cy-Kill model kit, wanna see that thing built! So yeah, loved this tour through his collection, just lovely to see.

I had seen Jonathan mention his comic collection and he's often talked about his martial art film collection but I had no idea he has a stunning toy collection too. I think a lot of us would do the exact same thing if we could. I can imagine you'd need a series in order to showcase each interest he has. It's not just the collections, it's the knowledge he has too.

He could have talked for days about that incredible collection. Wow.

Sensational video!

Amazing video! Didn't know this at all, that Jonathan Ross has such a great collection :)

HIs knowledge and passion is amazing. It's cool that he shared his hobby and thanks for the video!

😱😱😱I don't know Jonathan Ross was a collector.... And wath a collection 😍😍😍😍very very cool.

That Ken Kelley oil painting... Wow. 🤩🤩🤩

Thank you so much for doing this. I have always wanted to see his collection. He is def one of us.

Jonathan should go on mastermind with this as his category he would ace it ! What a collection and passion
