Still such a shame that Wednesday got left out of production while Pugsly got released, someone out there needs to start making customs of the missing Addams family members!

yeah i guess puglsey got a toy as girl figures don't sell too well. Of course nowadays it would probably be the other way around with wendsday being popular.

Those Addams Family figures brought back some memories. I had Lurch and Uncle Fester. On another note, I’d love to see what ever happened to the unreleased waves of Resaurus toys. I loved their stuff as a kid, but they just faded away.

@buckchuckgaming597 5 месяцев назад

I just want to thank you for making this video Ed. I had the 1990 toy fair catalog as a kid and always wanted the Tribes figures. Fast forward 30+ years and all those memories came flooding back when you covered Tribes in this episode. After almost a year of searching I was able to track down a hard copy hand painted resin prototype of Fast Cat from the Tribes line complete with his mask, boomerang, and spear. It’s my ultimate grail and something I didn’t think I’d ever actually own. It’s crazy to get one of my most wanted Christmas gifts from 1990 almost 34 years later.

@JinxSanity Год назад

Been wondering about Wednesday since I started looking on Ebay for a figure of her from the Addams cartoon line. It's really strange since Morticia got a figure but not her, which puts a stop to that "it's toys and boys only want male figures" theory. But seriously they chose Pugsly over Wednesday?? This was when the movies were popular and everyone and their grandma knew that Wednesday was their favorite kid from the movies! Even in the cartoon Pugs was just forgettable while Wednesday had her charm as always.

@EdsRetroGeekOut Год назад

Odd indeed cuz she would have been a more popular character but perhaps less toyetic 🤓

@paolomongon6616 Год назад

I hate it when companies don't release full families in the first wave... I held off on the Addams toyline BECAUSE of this. Recently this happened again when Mego released Marries with Children figures. We got Al, Peg, and Kelly....but no Bud. So the family will never be complete.

They are indeed quite similar

Left a comment on Narc page telling him to send you a retro freaks shirt and a Narc shirt and if he has any an attic invaders one. You can always use more shirts for videos, it never hurts.

@satellachannel6423 Год назад

Interestingly enough, a concept similar to Tribes will be fully realized with Bionicle by Lego in 2001. Action-figures, beasts and vehicles with action features to play together and knock off the mask of the opponent. Each mask granting a different power, with blind bags (of masks) who may include rare colors. The idea is that of an island populated by tribes of biomechanical beings (they have high technology but very close to earth culture), their god/guardian has been tricked and a dark entity is tormenting them by unleashing monsters and corrupting nature. Their only hope is summoning the six heroes of legends to fight evil. The line lasted ten years with a pretty heavy storyline, and the wild island is only the background of the early years. Nothing is exactly what it seems at first and it get pretty wild at the end.

@EdsRetroGeekOut Год назад

I never got into bionicle but that does sounds very similar 😁

@rogertrump1026 Год назад

Where did you get those shots of the Tribes physical toys which looked to me like they were in sealed graded cases. Man I wish someone would do some knockoffs or reproductions on that line because I want them all
