    If you’re ever in Vermont, I was just at the absolutely insane toy museum in the upstairs of a shop in Quechee Gorge Vermont plaza. They have everything there on display nothing for sale unfortunately but super fun to look through. First time seeing a real ThunderCats lair and much more

    I dressed up one time in the He-man death trap costume one year, ‘84 I think it was. The plastic mask with the tiny eye slits that you could barely see out of, vinyl suit that was hot as hell and had you soaked from sweat. The rubber band that held the mask on would always break 10 minutes into trick or treating, then you have to walk around the rest of the time, looking like a little dumbass, holding your mask on by hand. Yeah good times, good times! 😂😂😂😂… Take care Ed 🤘

    I know everything about Exo Squad. LIke that Playmates did not create Exo Squad, it was oddly Universal Animated Studio, Playmates only had the license with ran out years ago. Now Exo Squad is under NBC/Universal. Here in the US Exo Squad is free on Peacock or Sky in other countries. The show was dark, but man is it good for a Saturday morning cartoon made in 1993. Trying not to spoil much main characters could die in this show.

      @@EdsRetroGeekOut A bit of both. The show from Universal Animated Studio a year before the toyline came out. That's why there is no toy on the Resolute One or an Admiral Winfield or Captain Matthew Marcus action figures. seeing how Resolute One was blown up, and Captain Marcus is dead in season two. But Admiral Winfield was still running the Exo-Fleet and forced to make a deal with Simbacca and the rest of the Pirate clan to help fight the Neo-Sapiens. Oh, Captain Marcus, what have you done. But a year after the show was canceled Playmates with the license they got from Universal tried keeping the brand going with Toyline going and got a board game, and Sega Genesis that was not that great and had nothing to do with the story was made as well. The SNES Version of Exosquad was never made but was promised. The show was created by Jeff Siegel who at the time was head of Universal Animated Studio, but was fired weeks before the show was canceled. Jeff is still around doing animation work, but Michael Edens who did most of the writing on the show sadly passed away from cancer last year. Jeff Siegel used to work for Hanna-Barbera when working for Go-Bots wanted to make a new entertainment for young boys and came up with Exoforce, but seeing how that title was already taken went with Exosquad instead. He wanted all the characters to look like they were ready to have toys made out of them. And Playmates went with it. And he gave them the license to make the toys. There is more but I don't want to get into it.

    I know of a place here you'd love Ed in Maryland; they have tons of exo squads for 5 dollars and turtles. I just got 5 vintage motu Figs for $5 a pop their yesterday. they had tons of and tons of buckets of 80s and 90s toys for $5 dollars. I don't want to post the name on here; it's sort of a secret place. I can pm ya the name, though. They mainly sell old video games but have a separate section with all vintage toys cheap. I saw Casey jones and tons of 80s turtles all 5 dollars yesterday when going through the bins also exo squads and Star Wars Figs, Ghostbusters Transformers, GI Joe, etc.. If I had an eBay, I could make bank reselling all the stuff they have. They don't seem to know pricing very good their and sell everything super cheap. I got a Vintage Scareglow last week from them also with cape cheap. They even had carded LJN Wrestlers cheap a macho man and 1 other one.
