- Here are some action figures from the 1980s, and one from the 1990s. Basically what it is is I'm still a kid at heart. These remind me of the "prime time", I call it. I like how toys used to be.

"Too much ventilation.
I'm gonna go anyway."
I know..right ? Way to funny.
That has me dying love it
Space!!
...I'm making a confession. I'm a toy designer (boys action) for a top 5 toy company and I watch your videos almost everyday, in particular, this one...over and over and over..haha. I feel the same way about 80s figure designs (also nostalgia for me) and it puts me in the mood to start my day and get excited about my next designs! thank you Crafts Man. you make my day everyday!
Crafsman you are quickly becoming one of my favourite people. Your soothing voice, wonderful outlook and sincere positivity has touched my life and the lives of thousands. Thank you for your wonderful contributions to the world. Have a blessed day.
and i am one of those thousands! Crafsman ...you ROCK!!!
kinda like bob ross
"He ready"
I'm never ready the way these guys are ready. Man I need to get on it.
LOL!

BETH! LOL! Good to hear from you, as always! Glad you liked that part. :D
Indeed.
I rarely "lol", but that time, I did.
"I want a space suit."
"You can't fit into one yet."
"I'm gonna go anyway."
This is my favorite video I've seen in a long time.
I have found the only channel that not even trolls have the heart to "Thumbs down." This is a national treasure.
OMG, I just love you. You made me laugh so hard with your interpretations of what each figure was going to do . I bet you are the coolest dad. And your grand finale making Earthworm Jims head pop off..brillant !!!! You are to adorable for words..Thank you again for pure entertainment. P.S. My husband has a garage full of this stuff, he goes into kid mode too.
OMG, I’m with you at first I wasn’t sure now I find my self from time to time looking for his videos to brighten my day. 🤣😂🤣
Man, there ain't nothing better to start my morning watching you Craftsman, You're my new Mr. Rogers
Mighty kind of you, my friend!
Oh Boy! The Fisher -Price Action Men were a favorite. I had the motorcycle guy, but with bending knees and his motorcycle had a sidecar. And the ranger had a jeep and a pontoon boat. The pilot had a yellow plane and the plane could snap onto the ranger's pontoon boat so it was a float plane. And the diver had tanks and flippers and a submarine. Boy, that's a flashback!
Thanks!
Yay! I collect toys too - I think when you’re crafty/artsy you look at toys as being more than just a toy. The design the colors and the packaging it’s all so neat to look at and appreciate the design work
That's a good way to look at it. I do indeed appreciate the designs and things. The old packaging in particular, I really like it. It was maybe simpler and sometimes more bold, with basic colors. Something about it. :)
Couldn't agree more.
I have rewatched this at least ten times and I am still not tired of this video
:) I sure appreciate that! I've even got more old toys and stuff around here.
I went from exploring Recommendations to subscribing to this man i mean he got a real nice voice
Awesome! This is the best collection - everything scuffed up and well-used/loved, not hermetically sealed and soullessly organized on a display shelf. I think anyone who outgrows their toys is missing the point of life... Love your running commentary, as always. Peace.
I just recently found your channel, and I think it's amazing. I'm a professional graphic designer who is looking to start doing some crafting, and your videos are as helpful as they are inspiring. I have a huge collection of vintage Star Wars action figures myself. I have a feeling we're the same age, more or less.
The best collections aren't about the worth in dollars, but how much you love them. I love your enthusiasm and joy!
My nephew was born in 1980, and I remember buying him GI Joe’s for his birthday and Christmas. 😊
I would love to try casting some Air Raiders! A tiny army of them would be great!
that's my childhood.. 80s action figures. Well, 70s too since my older cousins gave me some :)
Best video ever about 1980’s action figures. And I’ve seen a lot (haven’t we all…).
That reminds me of the action figures my grandparents had at their house. I loved to play with those
Crafsman, you are still a kid at heart! Loved this blast from the past. Thank you for all you do.
Thanks for keeping on watching these videos, Dawn! I appreciate you!
7:00 Yes- Micronauts. Red one on the left is Galactic Warrior, blue one on the right is Space Glider. Really cool accessories with them if you can ever find them. Best toys ever. Love the video.
Mannn, yeah! I priced some of the plastic ones and was not prepared for the price they go for nowadays. :/
Oh man!! I used to have all kinds of these! I would STILL play with these dudes if I had them. In fact, we could get together and I might even share... maybe!
:D That's what I'm talkin about, Joe!
I must be the same age as your kids because I had almost all these toys. Your show is great.
Thanks so much, Billy! And man, these have to still be the best toys to come out, in my opinion. :)
Snap! I had that biker and some micronauts...forgot all about them until I saw this. Great review
A friend of mine had a cool robot guy, the line was called PLOTTER. It was neat, they had vehicles and dinosaurs to ride on, spring loaded rocket launchers. I had a GI Joe growing up, he was Back-Stop with a Persuader Tank.
Earthworm Jim is such a cool character, the first 2 games were awesome and the cartoon was hilarious!
The Crafsman is so relaxing I fell asleep yesterday watching his video
My older brothers had the Daredevil Sport Van and the Dune Buster. Also the parachute guy was a favorite. I had totally forgotten about these sets!
I used to steal their big GI Joe's, the old ones that were like a foot tall, because I didn't have a Ken doll. I was always upset that all the baby dolls were girls too! Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
OMG i had that blue micronaut! I think he had a flying pack that sprung open on the back and a helmet though. I liked those as a kid as they were metal and fully articulated. Wow! You have some cool stuff in your collection. Brought back some good memories.
Thanks for checking it out, Neal! :D I priced some plastic Micronauts a while back and MAN they are pricey now. :/
I've seen so much in my life...nothin' surprises me no more.
LOL! He's been through it, the white-haired man. Thanks, Lisa!
Very happy to see the 1974 Fisher Price X-Ray figures & the black robot. I always loved them.
I was a kid in the 80s. We had some great toys back then. great trip down memory lane.
Thanks, Crafsman. I guess you're... more chronologically mature that I thought you were if you had children back in the 1980's. I guess that explains your wonderful patience and mellow character.
Oooh....Micronauts! You like those? I’m a dealer, working out of Japan....I have thousands of those...all kinds of colors and materials...
Thank you for enlightening us with your positive and wholesome presence
Hey Crafsman! I collect 80s action figures, especially He Man toys. Great video!
I absolutely love this. I had that Earthworm Jim, I think. I lost his head. I also remember getting Earthworm Jim 2 for the Super Nintendo. It was for my birthday. My dad snuck and let me play it early without my mom knowing. I miss my dad. Thank you for the great videos, they spark many memories and feelings.
Im 40 now so this was my toy era. I have so many magical memories with these toys. I remember "Snake Eyes" was the toughest Gi Joe for me to aquire. He came with the wolf. I loved Mask toys too and had tons of M.u.s.c.l.e.s. what a great trip down memory lane. I sure wish i wouldve held on to all those toys... Thanks Crafsman... you da bestest!
5:47 Wow....I had that blue tent & jeep set.
LOVE!!! I had the original 8 Star Wars figures from the 70's. And for some reason I kept them in the original packaging.. Then in 2003 my home burned down in a wildfire.. Total loss. Hang on to these no matter what!! Love!
Oh man, Dan... I'm so sorry to hear that! :( But of course glad you and your family are okay. I know that had to be disheartening.
Email me your address (thecrafsman@gmail.com) and you might end up getting a Star Wars figure somehow. ;)
@@TheCrafsMan 💛😊🚀
My favorite toys from the 80's were my Strawberry Shortcake playset and Shera!! I remember my neighbor had a brother that had a lot of these toys😁
A lot of craziness in the world today. So glad I found you. I really needed this. Thank you!
I wanna go to sleep but I can't stop watching the Crafsman videos
So when you not steady craftin you be reminiscin on some ol 80's action figures? That's cool CrafsMan! Muscles were my favorite, remember they had'm in trash cans and they even had a ring to fight! they are still cool, think I'll track some down.
I had an affection for all my action figures. I let go of many of these things for a few years then developed a new appreciation for them. It's hard to define, but there is something powerful about action figures that breath a kind of life into them. To so many they are pieces of plastic. To us, they are alive in a creative way. Your collection is way better than mine, though.
Great video, Crafsman. My auntie was living in Europe in the late 70’s and sent me a bunch of Action Man figures. Those and my wind up Evil knievel bikes were my favorites. Thanks for bringing back some good memories.
Fantastic. Always good to see Metal Men and Micronauts! Love the channel.
This is beautiful video crafsman, u truly have sentimental gold in ur hands there brother
this is gold. love your narration love your voice. you have big heart and soul!!
Man, I just love to watch you play with those figures. Maybe you could do Craftsman theater. :)
i collected gi joe when i was a kid and still had a bunch when i was an adult. ended up getting back into collecting, buying and selling. made quite a bit of money doing that back about 10 years ago. just recently started to get some interest back in them. mostly just to make some money buying and selling. prices have doubled since i was doing it before. also like star wars and transformers
Dang Crafsman! Good video! We especially liked the guy that was fixin to go to the farmers market. The metal men were pretty nice too...thanks for continuing to inspire us
Oh my goodness! When you were showing that package art/booklet for the Fisher price adventure people it had that green van on it. I instantly remembered spending hours playing with that little van and the 2 dirt bike riders that came with it!
You're just so genuine dude. Awesome videos!
The 80s really was a great time to be alive, and be a kid. We had all the coolest toys.
Just love you, Crafsman! Please do more videos! ❤️❤️
Another awesome video! Your craft videos are always great, but it’s fun to have something different like this every once in a while. Every video you make is great!
Huge collector of vintage action figures love the channel I just found it a few days ago
GREAT video CrafsMan, really enjoyed getting to see all of these! I would love to see more videos like this.
Thank you for another soothing presentation of your collection. We really love how you put things, Craftsman
I love this so dang much !! So glad I found this brings me back to reality sometimes things just fly by go fast this man just keeps things simple.
HE READY HE READY
Brought back some memories! 👍
Those small astronauts were cool!
Great video!
Thank you for the video comrade, you have reminded me of so much I thought I might have forgotten
Haha, those were the days! I used to have some of those Playmobil. Earthworm Jim had his own cartoon, his own video game and action figures. I feel like the "Free Range Chicken" should too! 😊 Please never stop making videos!
“This man right here he ready for anything”
You channel is a special kind of awesome
:D I'm very happy you enjoy my channel!
Man! I had so many of the same toys as your "kids". Thanks for sharing!
Love your craft videos but also really loved your show-and-tells. I get so excited for each new vid!
Thanks for sharing, Crafsman. Love your videos!
What a wonderful walk down memory lane! Thank you for sharing your wonderful collection!
Crafsman is like a wonderful mix of
Billy Dee Williams and Mitch Hedberg
I searched for this comment. I hear Mitch in this video too.
Thanks for the stroll down memory lane. Keep the videos coming!
I don't have any 80s figures because 1980 was 23 years before I was born but these look really cool!
Mr. Craftsman, your videos are gold. Bless you sir.
Great hobby! You are a true gem, Crafsman!
He Man Man-E-Faces. Thundercats where the eyes light up when you put your ring in his back. My favorites
I wish I still had all my gi Joe stuff. I have huge bags of all the figures and guns and backpacks and stuff with the vehicles.
Crafs man, you are my new favorite part of the Internet. Your tips are great and helpful and I love the way you just chat with us. I can’t wait for your next video! I loved this look at the action figures!
Hey Merideth! Thanks so much for watching!
I love all of your videos, but I think this one is my all time favorite. CrafsMan, you're the greatest!
This is incredibly calming and entertaining. I’m happy I was informed about your channel!
That was really fun! Thanks for sharing those with us
Great video Crafsman! I had the action figures from that TV show "Emergency" in the 70s. The firemen and paramedics.
I feel like you were the cool dad who the friends always liked
Aww, now that’s very kind! Thanks, Jamiliah!
I rewatch your vids frequently and this one is at the top of the list. As stressful as life can be it’s so comforting to know there are others out there with shared outlook/sensibilities, an appreciation for craft, a love of collectibles and other simple pleasures. It gives me hope for the human race 💙🙏🏻
I SO very much enjoy reading things like this! It encourages me more than you know. :)
Just stumbling upon this...I had all but those metal dudes you showed near the end, still got most of em in a kodak bag. That last action figure before Earthworm Jimmy was the generic GI Joes, so you could use GI JOe back packs and all the other Joe stuff, but they couldn't swivel as much. We called them the Kmart Joes. Air Raiders and MUSCLES were the bomb, you could have a great Royal Rumble with the Muscles; my best friend and I made scaffolds around the room, winning Muscle got a rubber band belt. Too bad you didn't have any MASKS, you'd like those!
Ooooooh Micronauts were my jam when I was a kid. We lived way out in the country and I only got to go to town every other month or so. I'd freak out until my folks took me to "Ben Franklin's 5 and dime" to spend my chore money. I only ever bought the Micronauts Time Traveler because it was clear and didn't really have much for detail. I had an army of them.
Brother Craftman.... You takin me wayyyy back with this collection of yours. I love it.
Always the best! Thanks so much!!!
Quite a vintage heaven you have over there! 😁 Sentimental value is priceless! Not all of these were popular when I was a kid in Croatia but I recognized some because I liked playing more with my brother's toys than hanging out with Ms Barbie 😇
Brought back so many memories from the old school g.i. Joes on up thru my kids toys! 🙏🏼
Awesome to see a collection as sprawling as my own. Kudos!
This video is what brought me to your channel . I love the funny thing is you said regarding each action figure especially about the old man that cannot be surprised by anything in the metal menz that are hard to break! I also like the way you talk in your videos kind of like Bob Ross with little more flava. Keep it up Craftsman!
"I seen so much a my life, you just can surprise me no more"...PURE GOLD!!!!
LOL! He been through it!
I remember G.I. Joe ads when I was something like 5 years old...the old Adventure Team lineup.
Hello
My name is
Your host, the craftsman.
This is by far my favorite channel.
:D Glad you're enjoying it, Randall!
@00:25 I had that lego kit. I remember it because the little kits were cheap enough I could get one every week and I wanted that one because of the bigger wheels and I could make cool cars cause most little kits only had the small tires also that articulating chassis joint was useful as well.
Hey crafs man! I just found your channel a couple days ago and I already watched all your videos and I love all of them, keep on doing what you do and have a blessed day :)
I loved this video. I had a few of those figures featured here, and i had forgotten about some of them. Someday I hope to be able to craft my own! I’m going to start using your videos to learn soon. Should be awesome!
I am fascinated by this one and others that show your love for toys. Your kids are so fortunate to have a father so funny and young at heart. I was born in ‘81 so i am guessing you’re around my parents age. You are so playful and still thoroughly enjoy pretending and appreciating the toys your kids played with! You remind me to stay young at heart and keep playing. Your videos really cheer me up and make me smile A LOT. Thanks so much for just being you and sharing your life with us.
What a kind comment, Samantha. I have so very much appreciated reading your kind words!
