Once upon a time a man went on eBay and bought a box of old action figures. THIS IS HIS STORY (and half of the box.)
We've got a whole load of retro action figure stuff in here, both common and obscure. An American Gladiator! A weird ninja! An ancient Spider-Man! A Shredder who lost his shirt! Almost a Transformer! A very chrome astronaut! All your favourites!

I'm looking forward to 50 years in the future, when a guy on a green sofa reviews the Ashens figure trying to figure out where it comes from.
Green? That's some kind of furniture heresy I'm sure of it.
You underestimate the future penetration value of Ashens figures.
Gee he would probably just turn on RUclips and be like oh it's this guy Ashens
There is something sad about having Ashens say Robocop so many times, and then not getting the legendary Robocop song.
hee iss a roobot heee is a cop he is a robot cop
Even when I just hear it in the film, I can still hear the words now...
He is a robot he is a cop he is a Robocop they kicked his head in now he is dead and now he's a Robocop!
We all love that scene in T2 where Robert Patrick's ass flies off and he shoots missiles out of it, best part of that film.
Wasn't that a scene in John Wick?
What's even funnier is the T1000 is incapable of creating and firing rockets like that since in the film it was stated it could only create simple weapons like knives/swords. (Unless it somehow stored the Rockets inside its body)
@@Jakek200 I think later canon added the ability to store components like explosives etc. I think it was battle across time that included the detail by basically say the t-1 million (basically liquid metal tanks) could do it and by extension the t-1000 can.
The really weird part is that scene wasn’t planned. Robert Patrick just did that while they were filming and the decided to keep it in
@@Jakek200 See, I've never understood why the T1000 can't do moving parts. It's a ROBOT, it's already made of moving parts!
Pointless Transformers pretenders facts: In the comics when they introduced the pretenders the Autobots stole the pretender technology from the Decepticons, then made their own versions that were human looking and somehow managed to fool the Decepticons into thinking that they were just gigantic humans (because these were still Transformers-sized).
pretenders only seem to work in Victory as they are supposed to
At least the anime version explained it better, since the evil Pretenders were ancient and their existence was what inspired Greek myths and such
I think ashens did a video on them
Pretenders, less than meets the eye.
Gay pride bruh
The amount of knowledge he has of random cartoons is amazing.
The real nostalgia from this video is Ashen's camera battery running out mid-recording.
Also bringing up the pronunciation of "minotaur". I swear he said the same thing in another video.
Also brown couch obviously 😀
Did his hair finally grow back or is he just bald forever like Doug Walker?
that and seeing that *t-1000* figure again! unexpected blast to the past right there
@@jubbie1122 You mean a blast from the past.
I suspect Shredder is squatting because if his legs were stretched out, he'd be twice as tall as the Turtles figures.
That would've been awesome imho
And that literally how he should have been. Not like he's about to shit himself, arm bent towards his stomach and he's trying to keep it in. Aside from the fact that in his shitting himself position he was garbage to try and stand up.
He fits well on the old Real Ghostbusters haunted toilet figure
According to The Toys That Made Us episode on the turtles that was the exact reason
It's Kevin Levin from Ben Ten Alien Force! I watched the hell out of it when I was a kid. Nice seeing something from my childhood in this show, it was kinda surprising
I grew up with ben 10. I loved it up until omniverse.
26:50 That's you!
Assiste a porra do video ate o final
welp, Ashens was right 😂
Probably the last decent Ben 10 property released, to be fair.
Modo's (The biker mice from mars figure) antenna is retractable, so he could wear his helmet.
Makes sense
He definitely didnt have that weird pink camo in the show.
I had a toy figure of Vinnie and his motorcycle as a kid and it also had the retractable antennae for his helmet too. Ah, wish I still had it.
Biker Mice from Mars > Extreme Dinosaurs > TMNT
I was about to make the same comment
Shredder has fallen on hard times and is now in a Netflix adaptation of Magic Mike.
Something really strange happening on this video. Hundreds of posts in only a few hours and seem to be at least partial copies of other posts.
@@Lucien86 it's bots copying comments
@@spicybeantofu I realize that. When I looked through the comments a lot of posts got the same spam at the same time.
The strange thing though was that the first one I read actually seemed to answer a question quite sensibly. Spooky!!
[humour] 🕸🕸🕸👻🕸🕷🕸 :D
She's a bot girl, she's a bot, she's a bot bot girl.
Interesting thing about Captain Simian. You can almost compare each main character to a corresponding crew member in the show Firefly, and Simian himself looks a LOT like Malcolm Reynolds!
He's also played by Garibaldi from Babylon 5 :D just took a break from the Captain Simian figure to watch the two part series opener.
So they ripped that off as well as Bravestarr and Galaxy Rangers.
@@LCFC81 And Outlaw Star.
@@LCFC81 I mean, to be fair, a lot of shows did that stuff. They saw what worked, and they ran with it
Fun fact: I actually spotted a Captain Simian figure in my local charity shop a few days ago.
Why didn't 80s GI Joe articulations become the norm for all action figures? Even as a kid that bugged me. I couldn't do anything with my Star Wars He-Man and later TMNT figures. Only GI Joes were actually "playable".
Because it was actually very expensive to produce, but since Hasbro didn't have to pay a license fee (unlike Star Wars) they could get away with putting that money back into the figures and sold a ton of them to justify it. Lanard could do basically the same style figures because they used cheaper plastic and thinner paint (it rubbed off way easier than on Joes) to bring the costs down.
The articulation on TMNT was awful and the bent knees
Shredder who was awesome in the cartoon looked terrible as action figures
5:46 Holy shit, that's Bomb-Burst, from, indeed Transformers. From the later stage of the G1 toyline, I believe is when the Pretenders showed up, and yeah, his inner robot was a spindly little shit who transformed into a pitiful excuse for a hovercraft thing. But his name in Japan is Blood, so that's cool, I guess.
Ye it's Blood for me lol, since I grew with Masterforce
I think the Pretenders were supposed to blend in with your other action figures like Thundercats and MOTU but that idea is lost when collectors just display them with other Transformers where they stick out like a sore thumb, and it's not an idea that really translates will into fiction which is what people also get overly hung onto.
The inner robots were pretty naff though since they all had more or less the same silhouette which severely limited what they could actually transform into, but the ones from year later were a bit better I think.
I mean, at least some of the characters are dope as fuck and have been brought over into modern lines. Bludgeon and Thunderwing are perfect examples.
@@Takeshi357 Ironically I think they did manage to reuse the ideas they were trying to use to make the pretenders work in fiction with Holomatter Avatars and pull it off, but then went on to basically not make toys out of those, which is a shame. Still making pretender toys though...
@RAFMnBgaming funny to think how pretenders are a footnote in transformers history but both holomatter avatars and organic alt modes of the maximals and predacons are both the logical results of it
IIRC, Shredder was in that pose because they (Playmates’ designers) wanted to put him in some kind of pose like he was doing some sort of mystical ninja art. It… obviously didn’t work really well… It was on the Netflix series “The Toys That Made Us” (awesome series btw, definitely recommend if you grew up with any of the toys featured).
/darn you releasing a new video when I have to sleep so I can drive to Seattle in the morning!
Why is Shredder's head so massive? They kind of took the size of the helmet into account then painted it so that it looks like the helmet is FUSED WITH HIS SKIN!
It's based on early comic book artwork as that's all they had to go on at the time, Playmates were winging it with that first wave.
So glad you noticed that they put eyebrows on the helmet and painted it skin tone so now he’s got some cave man face thing going on
wtf is wrong with you?!
MY helmet is fused with MY skin - since birth!
Speaking of babies, it helps me make em.
@@symbiote1982pk The guy who created Masters Of The Universe helped with the original Ninja Turtles toyline.
These are the very specific ashens videos I could watch forever
Yes, this is the content that i signed up for!
They made Shredder in that pose so that he would fit in the same packaging as the turtles.
He was too tall when they originally designed him.
With the pose I can only think this is poledancing Shredder, when he gave up on the turtles and just really needed some money
I always hated that figure due to the pose. Nice to know there was a real-world reason for it!
I have his rerelease from the figure 6-pack released in August.
Actually, it's to (badly) mimic a pose from one of the most famous illustrations in the original comic. If packaging were the issue, they would have redesigned the packaging, which is trivially easy compared to resculpting a figure.
@@pandora8610 I didn't give him the sword he came with, I gave him one of the other weapons from the tree.
That minotaur was Mighty Minotaur from episode 3 of MMPR, "Teamwork". He beat the rangers up until they got their individual weapons for the first time, and then they quickly dispatched him.
He's also the first enemy in the SEGA Genesis/Mega Drive 1v1 fighting game.
Didn't recognize him without his club and fire breath.
@@Meximagician That's such a terrible game. But I still played it over and over because I was a Power Rangers obsessed 5 year old and therefore it had to be good. Think it was my third video game ever after Sonic 2 and Jurassic Park
I owned that toy as a kid.
laughed harder than I should’ve at ‘ninjury’
How hard SHOULD you have laughed at it?
@@swanningabout certainly not _that_ hard
I died at "wanted to stay in and watch my kettle" 🤣🤣
@What's next? only slightly less enthusiastically…not by much, just a decibel lower with my mouth at less of an obtuse angle
“Deputy Fuzz” sounds like a name Stuart would make up for a bit
It sounds like the sequel to "Hot Fuzz", starring Mr. Ashen himself.
Or an ‘adult’ film from the 70’s.
Deputy Fuzz AKA Boogie2988
Deputy Fuzz actually had a bad guy cousin named Skuzz. Skuzz was part of the Tex Hex gang.
@@elizabethkizzar5489 I remember. In the cartoon Skuzz had a terrible addiction to smoking cigars and couldn't say a complete sentence without having a coughing fit, and even the other bad guys would complain about it. Fuzz once even tried to arrest Skuzz just for having the worst cigar breath he had ever smelled. But Bravestarr made Fuzz let Skuzz go because smoking wasn't illegal. So what about all the crimes he had really committed? Oh well.
VR troopers was basically two different Tokusatsu shows mushed into one thing
Wasn’t Kamen Rider featured in it too?
three.
@@mycazglinski2302 I don't know, but Kamen Rider was localized in the US as Masked Rider.
@@mycazglinski2302 No, but Shaider was
@@KasumiKenshirou I do vaguely remember that.
Ah yes,
Ashens and his perfect upload schedules
ITS 4AM in the UK
It's quarter past 10 pm in midwestern Canada (the rectangular one on the map)
It's 5 am in the UK... 😅
@@thesecretroman Damn it summer clock
We stopped using summertime clock and its confusing
11:28 here in the US
Your clocks wrong its 05:30
Ironically, Deputy Fuzz sounds like a name Ashens would make up for him.
I'm amazed that I was right about the Kevin Eleven figure, since I did'nt even watch Ben 10, but the name just popped into my head when you showed it! I guess that shows the power of advertising since I probably saw lots of bits of Ben 10 trailers in adds while I was looking at some other cartoons, and it imprinted Kevin Eleven in my mind forever...
the Biker Mice figure's antenna all go in because they came with motorcycle helmets, I had several. incidentally the entire series in on youtube if you look hard. great series.
No doubt it also helps prevent them from getting busted off when kids inevitably drop the figure.
As I understand it, "My-noh-tore" is the British pronunciation, and "Minn-Oh-Tar" is the American pronunciation.
But "Windowsill" is also a valid pronunciation in most English speaking countries.
I'm calling them windowsills now
"Minn-oh-tore" is the pronunciation I've usually used. No idea what's closest to the original Greek though, and don't care enough to adopt it even if I learned it.
And a "mine o' tar" sounds like an actual fantasy location where you may or may not find some of these bull-headed men.
It's pronounced 'Mine' as in King Minos, you don't say King Minnos do you, and 'Taur' is obviously derived from Taurus which means bull. Do you ever hear anyone say Taarus for the star sign, or the Taaras demon from Dark Souls? No, because it's clearly wrong. So yes, what you said 'My noh tore' is correct, only the uneducated and/or americans say minno taar ...!
@@user-os7ec4dm8x I dunno, dude. Assuming you're English, somebody that drives a cah and does drawrings and buys toothpaste in a choob ought to appreciate regional differences in pronunciation :P
@@user-os7ec4dm8x King Mean-Os? The constellation is Tore-Os. Thus Mean-Oh-Tore?
I think these are probably my favorite Ashens videos by far. I fucking love looking at weird ass action figures from yesteryear.
The retractable antennae on rhe Biker Mice figures were so you could put helmets on them.
yepp, i had one of these growing up as well. the brown one dont remember the name or wherre he ended up. my brother had the grey one
@@M0torsagmannen Did it come with weird sports-themed weapons? I had the leader one, the brown one with sunglasses, and he had a weird multiple-barreled bazooka that fired baseball bats.
Great use of science, technology and next level thinking from the people that designed them.
That's something I love about 90s toy design.
*Edged weapons:* OK
*Spring-loaded projectiles:* OK
*Extreme/motor sports sans helmet:* Woah now, that's unsafe!
@@Burger_pants i only had one o the standard models. not sports themed, but his bike did shoot rockets out of the tailpipes which was rad.
Amazing how ashens has been a part of my life since I was 13, he's been part of some of the most major parts of my life. Seeing as I'm 21 now turning 22, I think it's kinda neat.
what a sad thing to think about. all I remember is binge watching his countless knock off Iphone reviews in like 2013 with all my teenage depression
YT seems to have auto removed my comment,
But I've been watching him for a while as well, started watching around 2010 with his fake iPhone 4 review since my dumb 12 year old self wanted one, been watching ever since 😅
His videos never failed to make me laugh out loud.
This has made me happier than a great number of things, of late. Cheers, Ashens. Also, having your own action figure is an absolute life goal!
No sleep, a 6 hour shift at work any minute now, this is exactly what I need to get through the day, praise be to Ashens
Take vitamin D and magnesium brother
Please don't do that frend.
I have a six hour shift myself in a few hours
In this moment, we are brothers
Praise Be To Ashens ! Every Day here on Youtey;
Congrats on your part time job 👍
16:31 is indeed a Hasbro Ninja Warrior: Enemies of Evil character, Scorpia! He came with a red cloth robe with a elastic belt, a kama (a type of sickle), a nunchuck, and this weird two bladed wavy knife thing.
Shredder's contemplating existence on the toilet while reaching for the roll with his other hand.
I haven't been thinking at all about action figures, but when I see a video from Ashens, I give it a click, because my disappointment never exists in experiencing his arch descriptions of his own.
You know, I had considered being that guy that pauses the video to tell you in the comments that you were wrong and it was actually "Kevin Levin from Ben 10 Alien Force", but I actually reconsidered and gave you a chance to figure that out on your own at the end. Glad I waited.
You were wise to have faith in the good lord Ashens.
The only figure I recognized was Kevin Levin. Generational divide, I suppose.
I recognized him and freaked out when I saw my VR trooper.
Didn't recognise Shredder at least? Damn I'm old 🥺
Spider-Man is a bit obscure, I guess.
@@vissenekku You got me, I recognized a few.
@@vissenekku okay, smarty pants. You know what we meant. 😝
Chuck Simian. Loved that show. Really really recommend it. It riffs on so many sci-fi tropes of the day and holds up decently well for me.
"A stinky beef" is outdated slang for a ripe fart. It works!
Cut the Cheese, Stinky Beef almost makes you want to go Vegan, Almost.
Hahaha really? I've never heard that one before but it made me laugh a lot.
Oh man, this Robocop Figure brings back so many memories. Had almost the whole line as a kid plus two vehicles. So good. I think the Commander Cash figure is based on the in-universe animated series, however he did appear as a character once and was even played by Roddy Piper. :D
Sad to hear Ashens doesn't know anything about Johnny Quest. The original series was one of the best adventure cartoons ever made. Should totally watch the original series sometime!
Johnny quest was gay sorry bruh
@@samholdsworth3957 So it was good then.
Growing up as a rumbustious Hasidic youth in the 80s I have fond memories of acting out many, many of stories found in the Five Books of Moses with a good percentage of the figures you showcased in the lead roles.
Thank you for highlighting such classic Yiddish action figures. You are one of the best Jewish content providers on RUclips
Ahh, the Power Rangers greatest foe: 70s Italian Disco Minotaur!! This video is absolutely wonderful
It's absolutely fabulous!
@@samholdsworth3957 it truly is!!!
Gotta say I am absolutely loving how regular videos are being released recently compared to the past few months. Love you Ashes 💙💙💙
Yeah the Shredder sculpting great... except his EYEBROWS ARE ON HIS HELMET
Like Captn Crunch
Aren't everybody's?
It’s the TMNT: Coming Out of Their Shells concert edition!
And he doesn’t have nipples🤣
its just too bad he looks like he ate some bad Mexican food and now has explosive diarrhea and he's trying to pinch it in so he can get to a toilet.
Whoa.. Ashens is spoiling us after the last 6 months 😜
Almost like he isn't making a film at the moment :)
@@6581punk 😂
If I ever see any of the silver guys, his name in my mind will forever be...
Jump Cut.
To be fair that isn't a bad name for a toy character. Fits in with the usual Transformers naming scheme, even.
Biker Mice from Mars!!!
Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to add music to the minotaur. Just. Yes.
But what was it?
Shredder looks like he’s rapping
He hates music! He thinks it’s the worst!
We used to have that shredder figure growing up, we also had a toy toilet (pretty sure it was a ghostbusters monster) and we used to display shredder sitting on said toilet.
Fearsome Flush! A cult favourite, for some bloody reason.
Brilliant
Funny, they actually reissued Fearsome Flush and some of the other Real Ghostbusters figures at Walmart not too long ago.
There was also a toilet playset in the TMNT line called the Flushomatic. You can sit shredder on top and he can shit slime onto a trapped turtle underneath.
@@TheSmart-CasualGamer Apparently not anymore, as the reissue sat on Walmart’s clearance isle in droves here. Ironic given how common toilet/poop/pee toys are right now.
My Ashens figures arrived last month. Thanks Ashens.
Lines like "Like a stinky beef" are exactly why I love this channel.
The antenas on the Biker Mice from Mars come in so it can wear his helmet. I had one of those as a child.
20:30
Remembering this lad just makes me remember how silly some names were.
Like, Ben 10, sure, rhymes, easy to remember show title, fits the theme.
But then that figure, I think, is Kevin 11? Very glum emo vibes for sure. But who decided he should be called Kevin 11?
Like.. Ah yes, 11 is bigger than ten, so it has to be 11, because he one ups Ben, and it should probably rhyme too if it's a numbered name, right? To fit Ben's theme too? What names rhyme with 11? Oh, I know, Kevin. Kevin 11. Alright, end of meeting, since you have a few extra hours thanks to a speedy choice, go find somethin to do.
Just seems like the first thing they thought of.
Obviously worked since I remembered, but that doesn't change that I'm mad about it working, hah.
Edit: Ack- My intent was just to comment on memories, not to correct, apologies ^.^'''
Ryan 9 wasn't as powerful, but by golly he did his best!
Kevin Levin, who's middle name was revealed to be Ethan, which did in deed make his name Kevin E. Levin.
11/10 writing, would Pun again.
He was Kevin 11 when he had a mix of Ben's 10 and himself, hence 11.
Comment is also, not to correct, I'm just a massive Ben 10 Nerd
To be fair I dont think Kevin had a last name when he was introduced. He was an orphan living on the streets and kinda gave himself that title after absorbing Ben's powers. I'm pretty sure they retconned his name to be "Levin" later.
Welcome to Ben 10 where everything rhymes and most of the alien names are mostly dad jokes and puns. But I love it for that.
so his name is 11 on accident? if that's true that's a hilarious coincidence
I need a 10 hour loop of the Minotaur Disco Party!
One look at their faces and you just know this will be a solid episode 👌
That is Kevin Eleven from the sequel to Ben 10. There was a second show set when they were teenagers.
Didn't watch the end yet huh?
Oof.
I can confirm VR Troopers was not good turns out stitching 3 metal heroes shows together wasn't the best idea for a consistent story
Also hearing Ashens say Kamen Rider made my day... That show is my jam, Revice which is currently airing is really good so far
VR Troopers was kind of a guilty pleasure of mine. Season 1 was better IMO where season 2 was kind of hard to watch. I think Season 1 with Dark Heart and Red Python were good.
@@Dystnine I just find it amusing how badly they tried to stitch together 3 unrelated shows. Like at least with Power Rangers and their magical adventures with stock footage they gave each sentai it's own bit... Aside from Dairanger. Poor Dairanger.
All I remember from that show as a little kid was the intro theme. VR VR VR TROOPERS!
@@thegamerguru97 honestly I think they used the Dairanger footage better than the Kakuranger.
Ashens mentioning Kamen Rider made my night
Quite fun getting these lots, got one myself recently and it had Bravestarr in it. The BMFM figures were very well designed in hindsight, the punch action, the impact friendly antennas, great work somebody did there.
The nostalgia with some of these figures is intense.
Captain Simian seems like the greatest thing that should ever have been.
I used to watch that cartoon as a kid. Was definitely alright.
@@RoninCatholic it sounds familiar but I don't recall ever watching it. What year(s) would that have been?
@@tncorgi92 Early to mid 90s, I think. Their laser guns all make chimpanzee screeches instead of the usual pew pew sounds.
@@RoninCatholic stun stun stun
My sisters found it scary coz the bad guy had removable brains
That Biker Mice from Mars figure made me groan. I was 10 when that series premiered, and even then I thought of them and Street Sharks as shameful knockoffs. I guess I was just too big of a TMNT fan.
shredder looking absolutely jacked. his abs have abs that also have abs.
Big appreciation for 70s disco minotaur and his fabulous disco boots 😅❤️
One of the best channels on RUclips. Highly recommended. Cheers!
One of the First I ever sub'd to for quality entertainment, innit.
Ashens we love you, you're the OG!
WOW. Secret Wars Spider Man. TOTAL BLAST FROM MY PAST.
This is probably the youtube channel I've followed the longest, been like 10 years or more. The content hasn't change A BIT. My fav
20:11 It's Kevin Levin from Ben 10 Alien Force, decidedly not an 80's or 90's figure.
😂
There was an Australian version of Gladiators too, and we had the exact same action figures, just painted to look like the characters from the Aussie version of the show. My brother and I had some of the figures, and one of the playsets where the figures stood on podiums and bashed each other with those big cotton bud things. I feel like the characters we had were Vulcan and... I want to say Taipan. Anyway, that was a big nostalgia hit.
We copy everything from America lol
Because America is the GREATEST country ever. Just ask our true president Trump.
@@Gamesta100 I think you'll find American copy off the British, most of your classic comedy series are remakes of British shows
I remember one of the prizes they could win was a PS1, and my brother and me were watching like 🙀🙀, we thought that was so cool. Of course, my brother being the boy got a PS1 some time later.
I also remember roleplaying Gladiators a lot, and that my favourite was Vulcan. I'd love to get some figures.
@@johnthwaites5976 oh and they did Kath and Kim, as if ruining British comedy wasn't enough
Wow, I had that JB Reese figure as a kid, but I didn't know who he was at the time either. I got it from a second-hand shop because I thought it was cool that he had what looked like a CD drive in his chest. I never thought I'd find out who he was after all this time!
I’d love that pretender shell
16:33 That is "Ninja Warriors Scorpia" minus the cape.
Oh man, I had my eyes closed and was really excited to see a figure of Billy lembo the man who Krunks, my favourite cartoon character!
I had two pretenders. I had bumblebee and grimlock. I have never seen this one. Also American gladiators was such a huge show for a small amount of time. So much so that they actually made fun of it in movies. There's a scene in Hot shots part Deux that makes fun of this show and would be absolutely lost on anyone watching that movie today.
I remember going to the local K-Mart with my mom as a kid and they'd have an entire wall of those Secret Wars figures. Unfortunately figures were generally reserved for birthdays and Christmas so I didn't get any. That figure still looks better than some of the toybiz marvel legends.
That Minator would fit right in to Boney M
I’ve never heard of 99% of these cartoons or ranges mainly because in the 90’s i was at university and a bit old for kids telly..
Tatman and his side kick rubish, love your work ashens
Oh man I looked up VR Troopers and I'd totally forgotten I had most of the toys and they'd been my favs, real cool to see them again 🙌
I just want to say been following you from diffrent accounts for years and you always make me smile and feel good I hope to one day meet ya
Dam Ashens I was about to go to sleep its crazy late or very early
Damnit ashens I was just about to start rewatching adventures of sonic the hedgehog. Oh well
Captain Simian was more of a parody of the Bucky O'Hare type of cartoons. I remember it being funny enough that I'm going to have to look it up again.
'Humdinger' was in the British version of Gladiators. He used to do the Atlas Spheres with Bobby Dazzler.
Well, I was planning to have nightmares tonight, so thanks!
Ashens weekly upload? This year is saved. Let's eat some trekking burger. When you said 80s to 90s it is hard to point out which tokusatsu series it was from because Toei Metal heroes designs look so similar...but I'm going to guess that one is Spielban...my only memory of it is the hilarious way they pronounce lady hellen and diana lady
Oh man, Captain Simian! I lost my shit as soon as he came on screen, I had a few of these figures as a kid! Nostalgia hit...
who needs action figures when there are ashens figures
Alternate title: 30 Minutes Of Me Nostalgiaing The Hell Out Over BraveStarr, Biker Mice And (Australian) Gladiators.
it was Australian ???
Ah yes the iconic American Gladiators. Turbo! Storm! Blaze! Gemini! ...Humdinger...
That spiderman was my favorite toy as a kid
That Shredder figure looks like he is crouching to lay down some sick rhymes. Put a mic in his right hand and pump his left arm and he's just as good as Vanilla Ice.
Thx so much I never knew his name was deputy fuzz.When I was 10 I had the evil text hex,Brave stars rival.Thx your show was great 👍I laughed u made it fun.
First figure and it's only Captain Simian (he of the Spaaaaaace Monkeys). I've still got my figure proudly sat on a shelf. There was a cartoon that I've forgotten basically everything about, but the company behind it clearly thought the whole thing was going to be madly popular because they put out a huge range of action figures and ships. It was all chunky, well designed stuff, and I presume because the show was a flop all of the toys ended up dead cheap in our local Kwik Save (where young me bothered my mum into buying most if not all of the range over a period of months - as I said, dead cheap). Good times indeed.
That second figure is Scatman John. Skibbedy-dap-be-doo-dah!
Oh God, I had that Biker Mouse as a child! It came with a bike and a helmet - that's why the antennas retract. So you can put the helmet on. Loved that toy :D
Inconspicuously walk down the road in an 8ft bat monster... No one will suspect a thing... Lmfao
Was just thinking of Ashens, life is cool like that sometimes.
same!
This reminded me that I have a figure with very stiff articulation and I'd move it really gently because I was afraid something was going to break (a modern one, mind). Maybe I should fuss with it to see if I can loosen it - just not to the degree of some of these ones!
That Transformers Pretenders shell is called Blood or Bomb-Burst, there is literally no difference between the two versions outside of name.
The Cartoon Network (CN) figure is Kevin Levin from Ben 10. More specifically the older version from Ben 10 Alien Force/Ultimate.
Edit: Seems this was redundant. Didn't expect Ashens to include that final bit, expected him to look them up for personal curiosity.
For once, I think the American name is better. Definitely like Bomb-Burst more than Blood.
Strictly speaking Blood and Bomb-Burst are different characters IIRC (US/Europe vs. Japan continuity thing), though the toys themselves are pretty much identical yeah.
@@LonelySpaceDetective Yeah, but that's akin to saying Optimus Prime and Optimus Convoy are separate characters.
@@zuttoaragi8349 Blood and Bomb-Burst seem like subtly different characters (primarily in backstory), but fair enough point. The distinction mostly comes into play for certain other toys/characters who got renamed and recontextualized for their Japanese debut.
@@LonelySpaceDetective Like Nightbeat and Minerva.
