I grew up quite poor and had very limited toys. One day after playing outside I noticed ( what i now realize )is MM escape from skull mountain in the trash. When I opened it up I was blow away, I played for hours in that mountain Wish I still had it
I was recovering from a liver transplant when I was 11 and one of my nurses bought me the mountain and the big and little lava dude. It was the coolest thing ever.
Omg the sensations when you opened the shark... I used to have a few more from first series, like the hand and the snake... back in 96 97 or something like that. Wow... the memories
I didn't have any of the toys as a kid, but I watched the cartoon show every weekday. One of my favorite cartoon series of all time. About 10 years ago, I started collecting the toys.
Thanks so much for this video! I'd completely forgotten about these sets. I loved them as a kid and now I'm nostalgic for them. Great video - informative, interesting and with clear and comprehensive photos and videos of the toys.
shame we never got a NEW ADVENTURES of Mighty Max, or a movie. the tv show was fun, the toys, still great to this day. the Skull, zombie hand, scorpion, the Skull fortress, shark, cyclops. my favorites
My brother owned a good number of the toys and I loved just finding all the different things and details in every toy. The show was peak childhood nostalgia for me too.
I had a few of these. A lot of great memories, really great memories, getting that Magus set from my grandmother. Played the hell out of that one and was mesmerized by all the tiny hidden details in the sculpts.
Excellent video. I still have all mine from my childhood and bought a bunch more off ebay a few years ago. Theres still so many more i want :) also a huge fan of star wars micro machines so cool to know mighty max was the inspiration.
This is why the 90s were the best time for toys and probably the golden age of toys. I kick myself to this day for losing two of my Might Max playsets.
Top video mate! I never had Mighty Max as a kid (I think I was blinded by wrestling at that stage), but I have a massive appreciation for the line these days as a collector. In my opinion the creativity and ingenuity that went into Mighty Max makes it a hugely underrated toy line, combine that with the awesome comic backstories on the card backs and the cartoon series that still holds up pretty well to this day, and you have something truly special in Mighty Max.
My favorite the Zombie hand!!! Best Christmas present I got that year!! You forgot about the giant Zombie monster hiding in the tree!! Nostalgia overload!!!! 4:43 I also had the Wolverine head with Wolverine and Sabertooth and of course I had the McDonald's happy meal ones ❤
Crikey! I forgot about Manta force! I know I have the main white ship (copy of millennium falcon) the ground site/fortress and the Red Venom plane! All in my storage unit lol!
I actually buried 90% of my mighty max toys i had damn near all of them. It was my 13th birthday, and everyone was tired of knowng i still played with toys. If id known how friggin rare these turned out im in conplete nostalgia
I used to buy Polly Pocket for my nieces and MM for my boys - wonder if they ever thought about a cross-over?!?!? Think I need to have a sort through the garage........
I remember having 5 sets in total before moving on to some other toy series, and think I still have them somewhere at my parents place. I would hold these sets as a good example of how toy sets have evolved over the last 20-30 years. If you look at these MM playsets, they have so many moving parts, the plastic molds had a great amount of detail, they are many painted details (in contrast to today's monochrome plastic parts), they held many small stickers to add character, they each contained 3 figures so you could actually imagine many different little stories unfolding in front of you. If I look at my 5 yo daughter's toys today, they leave me wanting in many of these afore mentioned areas, sadly. Less moving parts, no painted details, just one or 2 large stickers (which you have to affix to the plastic yourself btw), all quite mono-chrome. You can really tell the priority was to reduce costs as much as possible, and not necessarily to create a truly inspiring toy.
I used to have a few of the head playset to include the one of the bat, the lava head, the radiation mask head and the merman type head. They were amazing 😎🤙
Thanks for watching mate! I've really come to like Mighty Max a lot more recently than I did a while back. they are so cool and look great on display once done right. I had them in my recent video for Reissues as well!
Idk why but some smell just triggered my brain and brought me back to the 90s…. What toy was that? It was something adjacent to polly pocket …. I remember a little green dragon…. 😊😊😊😊 so happy that you uploaded this video! I did indeed have the doom dragon set. I think some smaller ones as well but I don’t think I saw them here or I don’t remember them. Very cool!
I just found your channel and I'm enjoying it! I particularly enjoy your Toy History segments. The only problem is: there isn't very many episodes 😞... The toy hunting stuff is cool, particularly because it's in the UK and I'm from the US, but I really really like the history stuff. Thanks man! 🤟
Bro this toyline was my childhood! Back in 1994 I got the Skull Master mega head playset as a christmas gift, and it was instantly one of my favourite toys ever. It has so many great n gross little details in it. I also got the zombie hand playset, which was probably my second favourite of the toyline. I've managed to keep the Skull Master set intact and safe all these years, though it is missing the projectile, which unsurprisingly is very difficult to replace these days.
Yeeees! I still have the snake and spider doomzone and also the horror head bat and dino ones, all complete thanks to my mom haha! Mighty Max is my fav, I wonder if these kind of pocket toys release with today engineering it will be a very fun toys!
Got all 3 series of Doom Zones complete. Some were very expensive to get. And even owning a complete Skull Master Mega Head. Still need a few to complete my Mighty Max collection. But the ones i'm missing are quite expensive!
I had the Arachnoid and Magus playset. I think I had a couple others, but i don't remember which ones. I had other mini-figure playsets too. One for Star Trek. One for Tarzan: The Epic Adventures And I loved the Mighty Max animated series.
I collected this when I was a little kid, and my parents would reward me one if I gotten straight A's on my academy school year.. since it was overseas and my parents weren't rich, they still made promise and kept it so I collected over 20 sets. I couldn't bring them with me when I moved here. Now I'm almost in my 40s it's my one of my life goal to own all of them 😅😂😂😂
I have a small handful of the heads, the skull mega head and the Temple of Venom, but only one Max minifigure left to play in them. And now I'm worried my kids are about to lose him.
i still have the mighty max vs evil spaceship set but a recolor? my aliens, ship wings and miniship are green not grey. thanks for recalling memories great video! please make more!
I have the skull in my dresser drawer right now! Still have the doctor and Frankenstein but not max :( I remember the snake too. If i remember correctly could connect a bridge from the mouth of the snake
That video went just a little too fast. I didn't get to appreciate the details on a lot of those sets, they're shown so quickly before moving on. Also, I forgot that I had the ice themed set from McDonalds. It was an odd curiosity.
one of my biggest regrets is letting my mighty max collection go. I think i had just about all of these except the the mcdonalds exlusives and the watches.
I was just a wee bit too old for these as a kid but i've collected several as an adult including the very strange one where Max fights giant parasites and a monstrously fat Baron Harkonen type inside the guts of his pet lizard. Some of these sets are like a fever dream.
I grew up quite poor and had very limited toys.
One day after playing outside I noticed ( what i now realize )is MM escape from skull mountain in the trash.
When I opened it up I was blow away,
I played for hours in that mountain
Wish I still had it
I was recovering from a liver transplant when I was 11 and one of my nurses bought me the mountain and the big and little lava dude. It was the coolest thing ever.
That did everything!!! I'm still finding little pieces from that to this day 😂
Omg the sensations when you opened the shark... I used to have a few more from first series, like the hand and the snake... back in 96 97 or something like that. Wow... the memories
Glad I could help!
I didn't have any of the toys as a kid, but I watched the cartoon show every weekday. One of my favorite cartoon series of all time. About 10 years ago, I started collecting the toys.
Great line to collect!
A few years back, I watched the cartoon and it was kind of cool and interesting.
Thanks so much for this video! I'd completely forgotten about these sets. I loved them as a kid and now I'm nostalgic for them. Great video - informative, interesting and with clear and comprehensive photos and videos of the toys.
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching! Appericate it the kind words
Love Mighty Max! Enjoyed this fantastic video! 😉😉😉😉👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for watching, really appreciate it more in the way!
As a kid I never noticed how creepy and scary some of the play sets are but now I do
They really are! Maybe why they are not made today
shame we never got a NEW ADVENTURES of Mighty Max, or a movie. the tv show was fun, the toys, still great to this day. the Skull, zombie hand, scorpion, the Skull fortress, shark, cyclops. my favorites
Watching your video make me both happy and sad at the same time. Man do I miss my childhood. Thank you for the emotions.
Thanks for watching! Happy tears though!
@@toyscavenger a mix of happiness and sadness. A good mix. Nostalgia. You’re doing an amazing job.
Wish I hasn't been so rough with my toys as a kid. These were awesome
My brother owned a good number of the toys and I loved just finding all the different things and details in every toy. The show was peak childhood nostalgia for me too.
I had a few of these. A lot of great memories, really great memories, getting that Magus set from my grandmother. Played the hell out of that one and was mesmerized by all the tiny hidden details in the sculpts.
Loved Mighty Max! Named my rabbit after Norman! The volcano play set was brilliant.
Haha, thats great! yes it was a cool playset, I've got one but its only a shell, no pieces, one day il complete it.
I still have loads of mine, Bluebird even started a Dr Who range releasing a Dalek set, shame they never continued
Thanks for the great video. These were great toys to get at toysrus around 1993
Yeah definitely! Thanks for watching
Back then, one of my cousins & I each had half the playsets. We would even borrow each others' playsets & mini figures, which we kept in dice bags ❤
I had SOOOOOOOOOO many of these!
Excellent video. I still have all mine from my childhood and bought a bunch more off ebay a few years ago. Theres still so many more i want :) also a huge fan of star wars micro machines so cool to know mighty max was the inspiration.
Man I loved this franchise as a kid, I pretty much had everything shown in this video, wonder where it all went when I grew up!
Maybe under the sofa! That's where mine went! 😂 thanks for watching
Great content
Thank you, thanks for watching and supporting!
This is why the 90s were the best time for toys and probably the golden age of toys. I kick myself to this day for losing two of my Might Max playsets.
Same here, so I bought loads back! thanks for watching remember to sub if you like

Kind of the same for me! Blinded by wrestling! Still am but appericate these so much!
My favorite the Zombie hand!!! Best Christmas present I got that year!! You forgot about the giant Zombie monster hiding in the tree!! Nostalgia overload!!!! 4:43 I also had the Wolverine head with Wolverine and Sabertooth and of course I had the McDonald's happy meal ones ❤
Never had the mcdonalds here in the UK, but tha is to ebay we can!
Awesome!! Really enjoyed this.
Do Manta Force next! 😬
Great suggestion!
Crikey! I forgot about Manta force! I know I have the main white ship (copy of millennium falcon) the ground site/fortress and the Red Venom plane! All in my storage unit lol!
Them was so awesome.
Wish I didn’t lose the ones I had
I actually buried 90% of my mighty max toys i had damn near all of them.
It was my 13th birthday, and everyone was tired of knowng i still played with toys. If id known how friggin rare these turned out im in conplete nostalgia
Damn these were awesome had so many as a kid!! The snake was my favorite one :D
I had that, the skull was mine. Now I like the hand!
Great video!! Really well put together and edited! Nice work. 👍
Thank you! That means alot! Thanks for watching.
I used to buy Polly Pocket for my nieces and MM for my boys - wonder if they ever thought about a cross-over?!?!? Think I need to have a sort through the garage........
I bought a load off my brother in law. Some complete and some I need to find one or two bits for. Getting my hands on them made me so happy.
brilliant, its a hard journey finding the bits but take your time and I'm sure you will!
Beautiful
Love this line. 😀
its so underrated! thanks for watching
Amazing review!! Great job. Liked, commented and subscribed.
Awesome, thank you!
Great video 👍👍
Thanks for the visit! Appreciate it
Nice video... I remember these
Classic
Great vid mate! Love the Might Max show and sets. Great memories with these being a kid and fun to collect for now.
Same here! Really wanted something cool like mighty max to start off the series. Thanks for watching!
Absolutely loved Mighty Max as a kid, great toy line
its really fun, nothing really like it any more, considering how many other companies jumped on the trend all that time ago. thanks for watching!
@@toyscavenger how old you first started like figure toys ?
I'm getting some great nostalgia vibes. Great times. Btw awesome video 👍🔥😀
Thanks for the visit! Thanks for watching, really appericate it! That's why I do it!

It's all cost now, back then they experimented alot more and we're not afraid! Such a shame for the kids
I used to have a few of the head playset to include the one of the bat, the lava head, the radiation mask head and the merman type head. They were amazing 😎🤙
My favorites are doom dragon, temple of venom, outwits cyclops, skull dungeon and crushes the hand.
All classics!
Love it mate. Got a full set of complete dread heads!

Thanks! I've only just started them, making more as we speak. They take a while but will be worth it. Appreciate the view!
@@toyscavenger Oh awesome!!! I'm looking forward to it ☺️
After watching this, I might get some of those sets that really gets my attention, especially Magus and Jaws of Doom sets
The Jaws of Doom is 100% one of the best! Thanks for watching

You pick 2 of my favs too! 😍
2:11 I had that space ship and the rattlesnake with the mummy and scorpion inside
Yeeees! I still have the snake and spider doomzone and also the horror head bat and dino ones, all complete thanks to my mom haha! Mighty Max is my fav, I wonder if these kind of pocket toys release with today engineering it will be a very fun toys!
i think they would! but not sure kids would like them now, maybe they would, wish the toy company's brought some back!
Got all 3 series of Doom Zones complete. Some were very expensive to get. And even owning a complete Skull Master Mega Head. Still need a few to complete my Mighty Max collection. But the ones i'm missing are quite expensive!
They are jumping up quite quick in price! Good luck in the search! Thanks for watching!
This was a good show
Was so much fun! Should bring it back
@@toyscavenger
They should do a reboot, it would make sense because they’re stuck in a loop
@@oneDonly would be good!
I had the skull mountain, one of the best toys I ever owned, I belive I still have it somewhere but I'd say the figures are long gone
Long lost down the sofa! thanks for watching!
I had the hand, loved it.
I had the Wolf Spaceship and the Graveyard hand. I never knew there was those giant play sets that got released.
The funny thing is the bigger sets, are sometimes cheaper than the small sets! all of them are still great. thanks for watching!
@@toyscavenger I only remember a few of the early sets. This was also back being a kid and pre-internet days haha
I had the Arachnoid and Magus playset. I think I had a couple others, but i don't remember which ones.
I had other mini-figure playsets too.
One for Star Trek.
One for Tarzan: The Epic Adventures
And I loved the Mighty Max animated series.
Not only mighty max, but loads others were also so cool! I like the X-Men one currently. Thanks for watching! More to come!
Very good ❤
Thanks , got more in the way!
Great video 👍 I picked up some sets from you at the weekend for my expanding collection, my fave doom zone has to be lashes lizard
That is awesome! thanks again! really appreciate it.

In theory you only need one. But that back of the sofa is looming! Maybe get a spare Thanks for watching.
i still have the mighty max vs evil spaceship set but a recolor? my aliens, ship wings and miniship are green not grey. thanks for recalling memories great video! please make more!
Will Do! thanks for watching, thats a European Variant. looks better i think.
I HAD THAT WATCH!!!!
The sad part was he was very easy to lose
yeah all the time he would go do the back of the sofa for me, thanks for watching
Cool
Toy Scavenger & Secret Galaxy should collab ❤
I'm down for that! Thanks for watching
cool stuff, we just got a load more in stock
Excellent
I have the skull in my dresser drawer right now! Still have the doctor and Frankenstein but not max :(
I remember the snake too. If i remember correctly could connect a bridge from the mouth of the snake
That's correct
I think you missed a few, a series of 3 sets, cyclops was one, the dinosaur head, the scorpion, and maybe 2 more i didnt see here
I definitely had the skull one when I was a kid, I wanted to be Mighty Max 😂😂😂
I think we all did! Thanks for watching! More to come!
It's crazy how many I have and how many I don't have
I didn’t own one but I do remember they had a cartoon series and saw it it was ok
Check it out, it's fun! Thanks for watching
There was a Star Wars version of mighty max. Same concept but no max. Can you review those?
Yeah they were cool! I don't have any of them yet so maybe one day!
Never seen the mini wolverine head playset
As soon as I saw it I had to get it!
That video went just a little too fast. I didn't get to appreciate the details on a lot of those sets, they're shown so quickly before moving on.
Also, I forgot that I had the ice themed set from McDonalds. It was an odd curiosity.
Why did they stop making them?😢
Lose of interest, but everyone loves them today!
I had the mighty max video game on sega genesis.
Awesome game! 👌
That scorpion tail looked sus.
I still got my prototype zombie hand
Amazing!
video quality so high I can almost taste them
Yum yum! 😋 thanks for watching, really appreciate it! 🙏
I loved the cartoon, But not the toys and I think I had the ones from the happy meals only.
Wheres the scorpion?
hi
Hi! Thanks for dropping by!
where's the mighty max with triceratops
Didn't film that one, but had it at the time, sold it now tho
Unpopular opinion, I don't like the inclusion of Norman and Virgil
one of my biggest regrets is letting my mighty max collection go. I think i had just about all of these except the the mcdonalds exlusives and the watches.
I'm a bit in 2 minds also about selling mine, half's gone but keeping the rest!
@@toyscavenger don't do it. just keep them. these things are time capsules.
I was just a wee bit too old for these as a kid but i've collected several as an adult including the very strange one where Max fights giant parasites and a monstrously fat Baron Harkonen type inside the guts of his pet lizard. Some of these sets are like a fever dream.
Haha they really are! The designers must of had so much fun. Thanks for watching! Appreciate it.
