    I remember Huntik when it was on Saturday mornings here in the US. It was a fun globe-trotting adventure show with a battling monsters twist. Kind of Indiana Jones meets Yu-Gi-Oh. I know that might not sound impressive, but it was fun. I think it only got one season here in the States. I think the show was originally from Italy or something, so I don't know how long it lasted elsewhere.

  • @David315842
    @David315842 8 лет назад +257

    Kevin McNally played Gibbs in that movie. Matt Hatter Chronicles was indeed a CGI series that was a Canadian-UK co-production with the voices being recorded in the UK, including kids TV presenter; Dave Benson Phillips. The show lasted from 2011-2015 amazingly enough. That wave you got was probably a later one, which would explain a lack of a Matt Hatter figure. Huntik: Secrets and Seekers was an Italian-American co-produced series that lasted from 2009-2012.

    Huntik was amazing! Well, to my 12 year old mind at least. They had these creatures that came out of jewellery (medallions, rings etc.) or some old artifacts. They also had some sort of magic powers, which as you've noticed, weren't very well represented in the figures. Not to mention the awesome theme song! I suggest you look it up.

    I'd only heard of Huntik due to Poundland too - like you with the box of packs of Slingers, I once found a fairly large stock of boxes of Huntik trading card booster packs. Gave them my pound for a box of them, opened all the packs at home, gasped in awe at all of the monsters, got bored and lost them soon after. Marvellous.

    So I see people talking about Huntik, but not Matt Hatter - never heard of the former but watched the latter when I was younger. The plot (as far as I recall, anyway): Matt's dad had a cursed projector that brought villains from horror films (film reels) to life. He had two buddies (one male and one female because of course) and I THINK they fought the villains in an alternate reality...? I dunno man, it was ages ago. One thing I do remember is that Doc Fossil was an evil paleontologist who could bring dinosaur fossils to life and he was pretty cool.

    I actually like the Slingers toy. Interesting mechanisms and a pretty solidly put together peripheral. Maybe if it was sold in America or Japan, where pointless trading games are all the rage, it would have taken off.
    Toys from Simba?! Somebody contact Phelous! We have his next MMZ episode! Perhaps Steffi Love has finally met her match...

  • @Landrew0

    On June 21, 1879, Frank Winfield Woolworth opened his first successful five-cent store in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Inflation soon made it more practical to become a "five and dime" store. The five-and-dime survived almost to the modern era, even though 5 and 10 cent items ceased to me a mainstay of these stores many decades before, although the great depression of the 1930s gave the name iconic status for a time.
    The dollar store, or pound store is a revival of that concept; first appearing in the late 80s, these stores made a fortune selling items that cost less than a dollar (sometimes far less) particularly since the appearance of cheap offshore imports. Department stores and others often sold the same items, but often at much higher prices, simply because they thought they could, and in many cases, they could. However, the dollar store opened up a new market niche, which had not existed before, at least not in the literal price range of a dollar (or a pound).
    We are already seeing "$1+" stores, "$1-2," and even "$5 stores," although I've seen this concept fail miserably in my neighborhood. The concept may have seemed sound, but the perception was that it's the same old $1 stock, overpriced a $5. Too much, too soon I suppose.
    If anyone thinks I've plagiarized this bit, you're insulting my writing ability. Hope you enjoyed it.

    • @KyleKatarnBanthaHerder
      @KyleKatarnBanthaHerder 8 лет назад +2

      I'm not an expert on Greek and Roman mythology, but I think there are a couple minor differences between Ares and Mars, at least in terms of myths and how they were viewed. Not enough to warrant having separate characters of them, but I think Mars was viewed more favorably by the Romans than Ares was by the Greeks, and his traits in myth may have been more in line with the ideals of an honorable warrior for the Romans, while Ares was sometimes rather crude, cruel, merciless, and paranoid.

    Medusa's looking a bit haggard. I thought gorgons were supposed to be stunningly beautiful, the better to mesmerise people and turn them to stone. Oh well. Cool series of figures that, I'd have been very happy with that back in my action figure days.
    I like how the Huntik villain's name is Defoe, presumably because The Bad Guy was a bit too on the nose.
