TF is the best channel I’ve ever watched. They have so many ingredients that I can’t count. Ryan is such a fascinating and sincere man. What a treat to see such knowledgeable gentleman discussing anything, really.
That really was excellent Bobby, I'm a modern 6 inch Action Force, Classified and Operation Monster Force collector, but I love to hear vintage collector guys share their side of the hobby too, a really fun watch. :)
Great video! Was fun watching these two talk about the rare collectibles they like most, lots of excitement in their faces and voices and the paperwork from toy companies is definitely cool! Wish I kept some of that stuff. Learned a lot about the coins too, never delved that deep into it but was really cool to learn some of that about the rarer ones. Great shows! Keep um coming! 🎉
That was fun. I worked at a collectables store in the 90's that was family owned since the 1950's. The owner brought in a case fresh of Star Wars Empire Stricks Back figures that was still factory sealed. He knew I was a big Star Wars fans and he wanted me to open it and see what I could get for them? He had it in his closet since 1980. It was 1996 and the hype was really growing at that point with the Power of the Force line hitting stores. I could sit and talk toys all day every day if I could. I miss working there dealing in toys and getting paid for it is the best! Bobby you're killing it brother! And Ryan is a really cool dude. Really enjoy both of what you guys do. Keep up the great work bro!
Thanks for the video! I love the different insights into the toy industry whether it's retail, manufacturing, design, and toy collecting on a personal level, I'd totally watch the hours long conversation lol.
Do more of these videos. Pick certain lines or rare to find toys. Even talk about the current state of the toy manufacturing industry. 30 - 45 min videos would be perfect. Ryan should be a regular as well.
Another great upload, Bobby. Appreciate the effort in not letting the content go stale, and educating and entertaining people who love action figures. Now...bring on some amphibious assault teams and vehicles and mech suits! Thanks
@@Valaverse Why, yes, the two of you have good chemistry together. Also, you have the insider's point of view, and Ryan has the customer's point of view.
I second this. Some of these guys have never even been on the record, and it would be a huge shame to let the toy history within them fade away as they pass away.
Love the discussion, Really enjoy hearing two fans just shooting the breeze like this. Also would love to add the charity figure to me Action Force display but being in Canada the extra for shipping and customs just pushes it over the price point I can justify. If Snowman had them I would have already grabbed one.
The toys doesn’t die out. It’s a moods thing. A restart of the spark inside you. And ppl talking and showing others about it. We need total patience to sell the toys. It will sell but in its do time.
Speaking of paperwork, back in the day i could never find Storm Shadow. On a whim i wrote Hasbro, they sent me a letter saying he was $5( joes were like 2.99 back then). Mom sent them a check and it came air mail. Probably should have kept that letter, Mom might have sent it with the payment.
My family would never have thought of doing that when I was a kid. The 84 Joes were the only time in the line that I can recall there being a few guys that were super hard and rare to find in the stores. Stormshadow, Mutt and Junkyard, Firefly, and to a lesser extent Blow Torch and Spirit in that order were really hard to locate. I was I. 4th grade at the time. There was this short red haired kid that was really good at sports, and toys were sort of secondary to him. His dad worked construction (may have owned the business, they were well off) and was in Albany NY all week for work (we lived just outside of Catskills about 35 miles south). That kid’s dad would get him a one of these new hard to find Joes every week. He would bring em in, show em to us, and I don’t know if he ever would pick the figures up again. He never played Joes with us at recess, at birthday parties etc out of school, never joined in when we played with Joes. I was mainly getting figures from local department stores and even a local Rite Aid drug store. The Rite Aid actually put out a decent amount of joes for a drug store with one half aisle for toys. I am pretty sure this was in the fall too. Thanks, your memories just transported me back in time to the fall of 84 for a few minutes. Magical time as a kid!
Maybe Articulated ninja, Pixel Dan, or Shartimus Prime. May e even Todd McFarlane. Get a lot of information out of him. Asking him questions no one else would. Just to name a few.
Awesome talk guys, off topic I just purchased a couple of the loose gray vest helmet scarf leg pouch Awesome stuff. Maybe you could answer are these products to come or just test samples either way Awesome, thanks for putting products like this out there

Who would you like to see me interview next?
Brian Flynn from Super 7 😉
Some of the more well known customizers would make for a great interview.
Tsubame Industries, they made a mech 😉
Chris from Full Force Podcast
Carson from 3D joes, he got all the original designers to do operation recall, probably some good stories
You and Ryan are my two favorite toy channels on RUclips. Great interview good work like usual keep up the great work
Seeing Bobby's face light up when Ryan mentions the Vintage SW coins was incredibly wholesome. We need further discussions from this duo.
This was an excellent video , maybe more of this ?

This was so great. I could’ve listened to you guys talk all morning. Thanks for sharing and have a great day sir.
That's quite an educated discussion, wonderful !
Two massive toy fans just nerding out talking about toys and seeing their faces of just happiness is awesome to see and hear.
That was so enjoyable. You guys need to do more of this. Best moment was when Ryan learns you were the second signature.
I love this! This is what we want as fans! More, more, more! You guys coming together is pure genius! Thank you🙏
That really was excellent Bobby, I'm a modern 6 inch Action Force, Classified and Operation Monster Force collector, but I love to hear vintage collector guys share their side of the hobby too, a really fun watch. :)
Great conversation Bobby would definitely watch another one 👍🏻
Enjoyed the video it’s fun to hear toy talks. Especially from two collectors of your caliber

Great conversation. That's definitely a huge part of why I love collecting.
This was really cool, it was so easy to sit here with a cup of coffee and listen.
Love Saturday mornings again🤘
Gonna be honest, i got way too happy when i saw this video notification hahahahaha

NERDS!!! No No - That was fun! You two have a good chemistry. Would like to see more of this format with Ryan or other store owners and creators.
Toy knowledge overload, great toy talk.
Great interview with knowledgeable people
Another great upload, Bobby. Appreciate the effort in not letting the content go stale, and educating and entertaining people who love action figures.
Now...bring on some amphibious assault teams and vehicles and mech suits! Thanks
Thanks for noticing! We are trying to bring fresh content!
Great interview!
You two need to do a padcast just having cool chats with retired Hasbro or Mattel employees and other pepele in the toy world.
You think so?
This!
@@Valaverse Why, yes, the two of you have good chemistry together. Also, you have the insider's point of view, and Ryan has the customer's point of view.

Exactly perfect idea
Vala, with his hair growing out, looks like his good-natured and less mean twin.
lol
That was awesome. Enjoyed that lads!! 👊😁
Great conversation

Great topics. @valaverse Bobby do you have a video of your Steel Brigade collection?
I really enjoyed it
Very informative! Great video
I got the pink breast cancer figure. Amazing the pink pops Just really a stand out figure
So glad you like it!

This was awesome!
For mechsuit research take a look at the Joytoy 1/18 scale. I think both the ‘mecha’ and ‘W40k’ mechsuit type stuff sells for them
This is great news and interesting
Yea? You liked it?

The Mattel 2017 Batman vs. Superman Batcave is a great 6 inch scale playset for $100.
Tho they sold horribly.
Walmart dumped them for $50.
Or less...
I did a big ass playset, you own it. Lol. Hell, I've done several you own Bobby. Lol
Yep!
Maybe Articulated ninja, Pixel Dan, or Shartimus Prime. May e even Todd McFarlane. Get a lot of information out of him. Asking him questions no one else would. Just to name a few.
Are you going to stared selling valaverse action force fig in he’s store
Awesome talk guys, off topic I just purchased a couple of the loose gray vest helmet scarf leg pouch Awesome stuff. Maybe you could answer are these products to come or just test samples either way Awesome, thanks for putting products like this out there
Love the "subtle" product placement. 😅
Dan from Hasbro 😂
It ends with him just getting up and walking off?
Kinda boring. Ain’t gonna lie. I’ll watch again & maybe change my mind.
Fantastic episode
