“Yeah... a wolf.” Best toy galaxy video ever and that line killed me!
Megatron was the best 80s toy for bank robberies and liquor store hold ups!!
Lol
Half my childhood friends were shot by cops while playing with Megatron in gun mode.
I would argue the best one was the other gun figure which wasn't in transformers, Browning.
Shockwave = discount Megatron
Megatron probably wasn’t populair with black parents
That is the smallest 80s phone that I've ever seen.
Wait, how’d you guys afford Don Johnson as a one-off host for this video?
to be fair Don will do anything now for a ham sandwich :D
Sandra Snow-Balvert LOL!!
I thought that was Kenny Loggins.
@@scockery Maybe it was Kenny Johnson?
It's Stefon's dad.
By far my favorite RUclips channel right now.
Dirty autobot. Decepticons forever!
Agreed!
Kevin Peoples Same!
Why can I only subscribe once?!
Switching out He-Mans arms brings back memories of the days when it was ok to be a kid.
Transformers Toys ( high pitched screaming )
The staff meeting had me rolling. Love ya, you silly boys.
so glad warduke made the list, i hated D&D but for some reason as a kid i loved warduke, maybe he just reminded me of the villin in the Beastmaster
Ha ha. Beastmaster.... That's what HBO used to stand for, Hey, Beastmasters On.
@@johnmiddleton4291 Lol. Never heard that one, but it's definitely true.
I didn't even know the dude's name. I just knew and I owned that figure, there was something that Drew me towards the design, colour scheme and overall badass look.
Jetfire was my Favorite toy of my childhood in the 80's
He was both an Autobot and a Veritech. The best of both worlds!
Jetfire/Skyfire was better than any of this shit.
My brother was sooo pissed when I got Jetfire.
He-Man action figures were not too big, not too small, and very durable and relatable. My favorite.
Well said
very relatable cus I was just as buff at 8 years old!
Could one consider Boba Fett a space ninja from a galaxy far away? Also, how did Dan get his hair so feathery? It's stunning... I can't look away.
I can't believe you got Bruce Campbell to guest star for the Snake Eyes/Wolf bit!!! Well done!!!
80's Dan needs to be new character for Toy Galaxy.
He would be labeled as '80s Dan, because the apostrophe actually goes before the 8, not after the 0.
@@JanetStarChild Actually no, that's not correct. The possessive apostrophe takes precedence over the decade omission apostrophe, since Dan is theoretically being possessed by the 80s. Wordplay unintended but still, very funny.
He's actually dressed exactly like a skin in Fortnite.
One of your best videos ever! For me Optimus stands as the greatest fictional hero of all time. Wise, powerful, fearless, and compassionate. And a badass truck.
‘Is that legal?’
Was anyone else besides me expecting Dan to growl: ‘I will make it legal!’
He actually looks like either a lawyer or stock broker from the 80s
Dan looks like he fell right off my Trapper Keeper from 1989.
More like 1985/6 with that attire!
Omg hahaha
Only thing cooler than sunglasses over sunglasses: sunglasses on a wolf.
Another great list...
I bet Mrs. Toy Galaxy couldn't keep her hands off of you dressed in that get-up!
As a man hurtling towards fifty so fast I have started to redshift, I adore this list.
You added Storm Shadow! You are TRULY a legit child of the 80s! I always wanted the the white camouflage version. But I think he came out much later.
@ Wis Dom, yes that would be Storm Shadow version 2 from 1988. Like the 1984 original he is quite popular with G.I. Joe collectors. I have one myself.
@@JB0071051982 Awesome! I seen him in the store around 1989 and forgot to hide him in the back of the bunch. Actually I think I did hid him but some smarter kid found him before I came back with money a few days later, lol.
Fantastic video, fellas. I had a feeling Optimus would take the top spot handily but thought Snake Eyes v2 was a lock for 2nd or 3rd. Jericho was right... Wolf is best upgrade.
its a great list! i am a little surprised jetfire didn't make the list seeing as how he fills both the TF fan-base and the Macross/robotech one as well. Also I am pretty sure his design was called "perfect" in some fashion in japan.
My top pick wouldn't even crack the top 100, mostly because of his scarcity: Mattel's Clash of the Titans The Kraken.
This giant sized rendition of Ray Harryhausen's masterpiece was the Holy Grail of my childhood and much in the same way remained elusive. Because of the size and cost of the figure production was low so few toy stores carried it and those that did often had it out of stock. Normally depicted as a giant squid, this version of the Nordic sea monster was a more stylized hulking humanoid with 4 arms, fins for legs, and a foot long tail which extended from his derrière. Ironically in the 1981 film "Clash of the Titans" there were no complete body shots of The Kraken. This toy was based on Harryhousen's original maquette and for the longest time was the only way to get a complete view of the creature in all its glory. Although coming from an era when articulation was still in its infancy, The Kraken did have a 360 degree swivel waist, all 4 arms on ball joints, and a detachable tail which swung back & forth on a hinge.
Although I never did get this incredible figure as a child, The Kraken now sits proudly on my shelf thanks to our friends the internet and eBay. To whoever holds the license for this toy line I say: Re-release The Kraken! =)
You can have a Kraken reissue if I can have the DnD Fortress of Fangs. And Tiamat.
@@CaptainRufus I still have my FoF, loved that thing as a kid, one of the best playsets EVER.
Optimus Prime number one immediately
Autobot Convoy himself.
yung senpi Optimus Prime is my favorite!
@@sagetan1353 I know right mine too😁😁😁👍💯💯👍🔥🔥I have a g1 optimus prime
yung senpi cool!
FRAG YES WARDUKE! He was my vote and he made it on the list. We didn't get Fortress of Fangs on best playsets, but we got Warduke on best figures!
I'm surprised the 1/55 scale VF-1 figure didn't get any love. That was a landmark in toy design.
PLEASE! Someone make a looping gif of - Yes - pulls off sunglasses to show more sunglasses. - A Wolf
The fact that He-Man's 40th anniversary is coming up is mad. Remember getting the figure for Xmas as a kid. Glorious times!
This really is the best channel on RUclips! Hands down! And I'm crushed that Crystar didnt make a showing...(sniff, sniff)
I absolutely must know where you got that turbo stylin' jacket dude.
It does my heart good to see my Transforming Mac Daddy leading the group, just goes to show you that Transformers are forever!!!
I enjoyed this immensely. So did my wolf. 🐺 👍
Surprised Jetfire (Macross Robotech Valkyrie) didn’t make the list 🤷🏻♂️
Yeah.bummer
I imagine it got voted. Probably just missed it.
My thoughts exactly.
Not surprised Optimus Prime would be #1. It's a great figure of an iconic character which is why I have an entire book case dedicated to him in my collection.
I was born n the 70's I had every toy on this list except the turtle's and a watched tmnt everyday after school
I loved my toys growing up in the 80's. I've went back and got them and still search for more. 😂
Glad my favourite, Jynx, got a cameo. Thank you Toy Galaxy!
i was listening to this episode for the first few seconds THEN noticed the outfit and yelled WOW. already my fave episode. haha well done sir
truly lucky to live through the golden age of action figures and enjoy every bit of it.
This channel needs like a million subs
I didn't guess the best figure of the 80's,
but i do know the best youtube toy video of 2019...
Youre looking at it -to the max.
Oh Dan, when I’m having a bad day, I watch this video. It always cheers me up. I love the board meeting. Thanks bro. Totally.
This is straight up memory lane for me. I had all of these and all the obscure ones too. I played out every episode from every cartoon I was into with those same toys.It was pure magic to be a kid in the 80’s.It was a golden age of cartoons and toys. I may not have those toys anymore but the memories and content like this are priceless. Thank you so much Dan and company.
I really appreciate the way you brake down history of 80's cartoons...thanks for all the cool info....lots of fun and lots to learn....
That get-up is ON POINT!
That jacket is so flashy and perfectly 80s it must have come with a pair of parachute pants and a fanny pack. That mullet is pretty radical too.
I am now making a shirt with Lipstick Jetpack 1979. No joke.
Thanks for making this list, it was great seeing some old toys, some of which I had even forgotten that I once owned.
You know what i like about your channel? the short intro, its like three seconds. some other channels make me sit through the same 60 second intro with every video i watch. ugh
The only one like that which I don't usually mind is Linkara, because of the great theme song.
Just wow!!! Fantastic job as always! Thank you!!!
This is a really good list! You’re spot on! Great content, thanks!
Great, like radically awesome video. Kudos on your cleverly nostalgic (as usual) writing and presentation. I'm glad Soundwave placed as high as he did...he was my first Transformer I ever had (Thanx dad!) and thus was my sentimental favorite. Cheers!
I didn’t expect Warduke to break the top 10 but I’m happy he did.
I’m just glad that my top 3 made the list and I’m also happy that the Matchbox Voltron made the list as well. Out of all of toys from the 80’s I think Voltron and Optimus Prime were my favorites. As always great video and Toy Galaxy Rocks!
Loved this, especially for the shout outs at the end
You guys have reached a new level with this one...good/bad...low/high... doesn't matter! It's a new level and I love you.
Also, Soundwave? You complete me... only one on the list that makes my heart flutter with excitement. ❤️
Nice work, Dan. One of your best!
Wow! Boba Fett was first made in late 1979 and is considered an 80's icon. That's a lot like Gary Nueman's song Cars. And they came out with a new model every year, just like cars. And he had to be recalled, just like cars!
What a long and lonely journey he is on down the long and dusty road, just like ... IDK a horse or something that travels down roads. I can't really think of what that could be right now.
I had no idea how much you resemble Kenny Loggins !!! That HIGHWAY TO THE DANGER ZONE HAIR IS RAD !!!
Mix of all great figures from the 80’s...Man I miss the 80’s! 🤔 at least the toys...
I’m surprised no M.A.S.K. no Thundercats? 🤨
Great video Don Johnson...I mean Mr Larson, Producer Greg 👍🏽✌🏽
That's George Michael... not Sonny Crockett.
T Hawk yeah...you can tell it’s been a long time ago 😂👍🏽
This. channel makes me so proud to have fellow 1980's Toy Addict from fellow New England shop just north of where I grew up and started my true passion that seemed to follow me right until my present age (41). It seems like my oldest friends all have families of their own to buy new age toys that I couldn't care less for. I'm confident that some of my Joes will make this list. But I'm secretly hoping that Micheal Knight with Kit will appear or at least maybe an additional top 15-20 list coming soon?
Fantastic episode. Loved it!
Great list Dan I absolutely love channel you and Pixel Dan have the most entertaining and informative toy channels on you tube imo, keep up the great work Mr. Dan Larson!!!!
Man I was thinking about Pixel Dan when he mentioned He-Man as number #2 on the list. That ought to make Dan smile in his bed as he doses off to sleep to night. Good night (Little Nemo) Dan.
That was an awesome list!! Not surprised they were all must haves in the 80s
I don't know about the rest of y'all but, I'm able to take Dan more seriously with the hair.
A lot of effort to grow it that long just for one video. That's dedication to his craft.
Okay. Dan, that costume is why I love this channel and you as the host.
That was awesome Dan!
You got the touch!
You got the power!
Yeah!!!!
My brother and I had every single one of these except Voltron and I remember really wanting those as a kid.
This was an awesome video. A blast from my childhood past.
I absolutely love this channel!
Great episode, Dan.
This is great! Awesome video man 😎
Great video, I love your channel. Next time please do a top 10 of the best 90' action figures :)
I was Blessed to have version 2 Snake Eyes, one of my favourite toys growing up for sure!!
Great video Dan! I owned every toy on it except for Warduke and the Turtles.
Wow, I loved this one guys! Great job! Dan your hilarious!!!😁😁😁
I love how fab '80s Dan is in this video.
Amazing content! I expect nothing less!
Optimus' red white and blue immediately make me think "Murica," and his patriarchal leadership vibe immediately makes me think of Reagan and the 80s. Love your channel, it is just so great for us 80s kids.
This was so Radical! Keep it up!
Awesome list! I had a few of these. The only one I thought was odd was number 10. I would've thought the Gobots would have been on the list
2 years later and Jerichos double sunglasses still make me laugh. He needs his own action figure
Love this channel! Even though you don't go back to my decade, the 70's!
@Forcemaster 2000 - Mego's World's Greatest Super - Heroes, Mattel's Shogun Warriors, Godzilla, Kenner's Star Wars and Funstuf's Hulk Rage Cage!
Ninja-centric arms race, the best thing I heard all day.
I love that Boba Wall so damn much. It's so damn impressive.
Great upload, very enjoyable!
Awesome vid, as always, guys.
Awesome again dan!!
It's been shared before, but I LOVE that Dan had Storm Shadow kicking a Gummi Bear w/ Ewoks looking on 😂👍👍
Great picks and video!
Wicked gnarly, broski! Totally tubular top ten tally!
Well Dan, you didn’t disappoint with the outfit, kudos to you sir 👏🏻
I’d love a chance to learn more history on a couple of obscure toy brands like mega force or galoobs ‘expanders’ line heck maybe even some insight on micro machines. I love your in-depth work on many of my fave ol skool toys and collectibles, keep up the awesome work ☺️
Nice Trend Masters Godzilla there!!
Totally Awesome episode!!!! Rad!!
They did go nuts with the ninjas.
I've never wanted something as bad as that inflatable phone.
Ha! No that phone wasn't inflatable, just an actual cellular phone from the 80's.
This channel deserves all the subscribers
Awesome thank you for the video.
