My family and I are so grateful that I get to do this.
The fact that even when the crafsman was the crafsboy his favorite toys were all about building and combining things makes so much sense.
He was CrafsKid!
I do not believe TheCrafsMan was ever a child. He has always just been TheCrafsMan, unchanging from the beginning of time.
Not to get into his personal business, but I swear in other videos he said he was in his 40s in the 80s. The man just loves toys and it was something he was able to enjoy with his kids together!
@@JasonP6339 I highly doubt he was 40 in the 80s.. since he also mentioned that he has young children... that would be irresponsible..
80’s had a different feel to it. I miss it.
As an illustrator, I love the toy illustrations from the 80s. There’s a unique charm to them.
I'm a personal fan of 1989 due to the short lived toy series 'Food Fighters' released by Mattel. They were sentient food soldiers; the good Kitchen Commandos and the evil Refrigerator Rejects. They were so creative with it, each character had their own little bios on the back of the packaging (not to mention the great artwork the packaging featured).
Look it up if you have never seen them. :)
Man...I haven't thought of Food Fighters in over 25 years! Now I instantly think of Private Pizza. Memory is so weird. Thanks for the flashback!
I had a ton of food fighters! The last time I saw them, they were at my grandma’s house in the bar next to the whiskey... I wonder what happened to them...
I had a bunch of those as a kid. I still remember the artwork. They're worth a pretty penny now.
I don't remember them at all. Then again I was 24 in 1989 but a lot of these toys I don't remember even seeing.
I completely forgot about those!! Nice!
Hope you have a smooth Merry Christmas...keep SteadyCraftin
Craftsman, you know what would be cool? A biscuit recipe. Those biscuits that were featured in the "Things I like" video looked amazing! So I think it's finally time for you to share with us that recipe.
You can craft if you want to, you can leave your friends behind, cuz your friends don’t craft, and if they don’t craft then their no friends of mine
Safety Dance was '82. But close enough, my friend!
May we all do the Safety Dance in these times.
Ssss tttt eeee aaaa dddd yyyy, Steady, Craftin.

The Casio loop in the background for me 🙌🏾
Yes
Steady watching other Crafsman vids to help me relax and boom that sweet notification popped up and my stresses have disappeared 🥺🙏🏼
I thoroughly enjoy your videos. I like your calm voice. Very soothing. Your crafting skills are amazing. I was a child in 1986 and that was a great Christmas.
I can always count on you for the best nostalgia and many "oh my I completely forgot about those" moments. Them magnet feet were life.
"My face look dirty. 😕"
Why did I feel that facial expression in my SOUL?
aw!
The commercials were ace back in the day, no wonder 90s commercials were all "WOW! WHOA! SLIME!", all the creativity was used up in the 80s.
Your videos are so rewarding, educational and relaxing. You have an incredible artistic professional eye. The world is a better place with you in it. Thank you, Craftsman and happy 1986-2021.
For about 25 years I've been trying to remember the name of the STAR COM toys. Thank you Crafsman!
Watching the captions during this video is hilarious. He says "steady craftin'", the captions say "still crazy".
LOL! That's one of those situations where the captions is off... but it ain't TOO far off. ;)
This is why I like every video you share with us CrafsMan. Always creative, always sorrounded by life and nature, always amaze of everything, Always learning and teaching, Always calm but with a Spark from the art. Please take care CrafsMan, here far far away from you, still show me life is something to appreciate. Happy holidays and have a great 2021 much love from here to you, your family and everyone
This is my current favorite video. Something about the music, the show and tell, the chill way Crafsman talking. I watch it almost every day. Sometime I just put it on repeat until I fall asleep.
Is it me or does the Crafsman have the most soothing show on RUclips? Merry Christmas everyone!
That was an excellent and appropriate electronic back beat.
Merry Christmas from New Zealand crafsman, love ya! Kia Kaha (stay strong)
I just realized last week that The Crafsman is this generation’s Bob Ross. Other people have probably already mentioned this at this point but I’m new... He could read the phone book and I would still listen. Phone book... that tells you how old I am. And I graduated high school in 1986!!!
Mrs. Ann, you are too kind. I could never come close to the impact of Mr. Ross, but I'm grateful that you found my channel. :)
Merry Christmas CrafsMan!
I was born in 86, they had the best EVERYTHING! Haha
Lol
^ this! :)
I came here to say this.
Ah man I haven’t thought about those capsella toys in YEARS! Thanks for the nostalgia trip!
The 80's were a great time for toys. I was in High School, but my younger brothers collected a lot of the toys you showed. It brought back some fun memories for me :) Thank you!
My son often says he’s nostalgic for the 80’s even though he wasn’t born until 13 years after it ended. Anemoia,: nostalgia for a time we didn’t experience, is real.
Oh wow - I can fully understand that! :D
I swear crafsman you are my #1 favorite crafter. Your like the Bob Ross of crafts. I'm so glad I found your channel!
Man, I had more fun with those Stomper trucks than just about anything else. I even remember having one that came with a little rope-bridge that it could cross.
My brothers and I figured out how to use the AC power supply in an old digital alarm clock to hook 110v into Stompers with some blasting cap wire we borrowed from the barn. They'd run like a scalded dog for about 2 minutes... before they caught on fire...
I love modular toys, lovely collection Craftsman!
I love your videos! They always entertain me when I’m bored! Thanks for posting!!
Was this a sneaky attempt to let Crafsmom know what you might want for Christmas? Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family, and thank you for having such a great channel!
Hope it worked!
This is just what I needed in my life tonight.
Thank you, CrafsMan. And merry Christmas to you and the CrafsFamily.
Crafsman, have you heard of Snap Ships? It's a new toy from Play Monster, it's a lot like Legions of Power (might even be in the same scale in fact). No mechanical parts but the concept is similar, it's more like Glyos for vehicles.
I hope they tighten up the joints a bit more. Some of the base ships are a bit floppy
Who else nearly spit out their relaxation snack at "captain jaundice"
And he wasnt even yella!
Oh man I had those starcon figs. The vehicles were rad.
Something tells me Craftsman would love Diaclone and the Diaclone Reboot.
Absolutely . I suspect he lurks the thread on TFW2005 :D
I was made in 86 😁 thanks for continuing to make videos that always bring a smile to my face. No matter what I'm feeling you always bring back the 😊
Legions of Power reminds me of one of MY favorites, but from the late 70s... MICRONAUTS!
OH SNAP! I'm a big fan of Micronauts. I vividly remember picking through Time Travelers on the store rack. We didn't have a lot of money when I was younger, so I KNOW they couldn't have been more than a few dollars then. I had several colors, and liked how they were translucent, and super articulated (even down to the little wrist).
At some point they wound up missing the white plastic feet or the silver chestpiece and such. Imagine my surprise a few years ago when I got on eBay, hoping to buy some... and I saw the prices. LOL!
YES MICRONAUTS!
New crafsman episode dropping right before bed! Keep the quality content coming, everything you post is wonderful 💕
Well this was a blast of nostalgia for me, I remember the cartoon shows and the toys, absolutely awesome! 👍
Toys back then sure sparked a lot of creativity and imagination, and look more complex than toys of today. Thank you for sharing TheCrafsman!!
These videos are so well made! Thanks for always brightening my day Crafsman!
This was great....I’m an 80’s kid and this brought back so many memories 🙂I hope you do more videos like this👍🏻Hope you and the family have a great Christmas and New Year.
If you like the small scale figures I recommend looking up the Air Warriors line. They had lots of great little guys. I could watch you talk about toys for hours. I came for the crafting, but I absolutely love the soft spoken toy discussion. Can't tell you how helpful your videos are getting to sleep. All right, love y'all, keep on steady craftin.
1986.....graduated 8th grade. I feel old.
Thank the heavens there is a Crafsman to make these lockdown days better
Hope you have a great Christmas Crafsman ❤️
You know, I grew up in the 80s Westberlin- favorite thing for me on weekends was waking up early and watch american forces network Tv and all those cool Toy commercials😊
Oh my goodness Crafsman I thought I was the only one who had Legions of Power! Still have my two sets, thanks for sharing!
Thank you for sharing these Crafsman! I was not born til the 90s so I missed these neat toys. Very cool to see innovation in its time.
Those are pretty cool Crafman, my personal fave toys from 86 are battle beasts.
Thank you so much for the fond reminder of the 80s. Happy Holidays to you and your family.
I used to have some of these. I especially loved the magnetic ones. I used to stick them to my fridge. I’ve been trying to figure out their names for years. Thanks for this video and the nostalgia. A great year for toys. Awesome video.
Always the high point of my browsing time. When Crafsman has a new video! Toys from back in that day ARE pretty dang neat.
I imagine your Christmas tree being covered in interesting handmade ornaments.☺ Merry Christmas Crafsfam!
:D Do y'all have the apples with names painted on them? I'm curious if that was more of a regional thing, or if other people made those in school as well.
No apples here, but we did make those cookie shaped cinnamon ornaments. I never understood (as a kid) why anyone would make a cookie you couldn't eat 🤔 lol
I remember having construction toys called Zoids. They were fun in the 80s sort of robot dinosaurs.
I am familiar with those but never owned one. :D
Wow, it says "Starcom US Space Force". Prophetic.
They started small and then........you know.
@@jimmyduncan7650 "Anything that's small has to grow" -- Led Zeppelin
Some of that modular space vehicle play pattern has made a comeback recently with a line called Snap Ships you might like.
Idk why but crafsman got a really wholr aura
Crafsman... Thank you. Things have been super rough and I've found almost nothing to smile at this year, with your videos being one of the few exceptions. I hope your holidays are as wonderful as you have been and that your new year tries to show you up on the amazing-ness. Thank you again.
i was born in 2000 but just seeing these would have been for me as a kid
I was born in '85 and i remember most of these. thanks for the trip. (:
Very nice! My favourite year for toys was ten years earlier; we had Action Man in the UK, who was like GI Joe I think - but fully articulated, about 8 inches tall, and you could get different uniform and weapons kits. My best friend had a German stormtrooper uniform with helmet, boots, belts and a luger pistol in a tiny holster. I was soo jealous...
Oh mannnnnn. Y'all had some very nice toys over there. In fact, I have some of the Action Man Action Force figures (the ones scaled like Star Wars or GI Joe).
They're harder to see in my figure lineup, because they're sorta up on the very top row, in the shadows.
@@TheCrafsMan I'll keep a look out!
Hope you're feeling better CrafsMan! Love you!
Merry CHRISTmas
Your content is amazing whenever I'm sad I just watch your videos
Merry Christmas to you and yours crafsman, let’s keep steady craftin to the the next year
Mini-mini figures like that are so satisfying! I love those little Tonka figures as well as the classic Star Wars Action Fleet figures!
Starcom was my jam. I wish I was more responsible as a kid though, since I didn't really take care of my toys back then and I think all I have left now is one of the figures.
Man... I think often about "HOW in the WORLD do I not still have my original (Micronauts/Visionaries/Starcom/Food Fighters/Insectaurs/Captain Power/Centurions) figures." :)
Jeff, I guess we just didn't know back then, did we? LOL! :D
@@TheCrafsMan Toys are wasted on the young...
As a life-long Transformers nut (well, as long as they've been around, anyway), I have to say it's 1984, but '86 was cool too.
I'd actually completely forgotten about Legions of Power, but I had a few of those, and they were brilliant fun.
And Starcom. How I loved Starcom. I didn't have any of them at the time, but I managed to pick up a bunch of later-series sets a few years later from a local cash-and-carry store (that place was a friggin' _goldmine,_ I tells ya...). Not only were the figures cool, and the magnetic and mechanised features absolutely _ingenious_ (I loved the airlock on one of the bases that only opened when there was a figure on the magnetic platform), but I _particularly_ loved how the little vehicles could fold up into pod forms for storage and transport. That play pattern still inspires me today.
I wish I still had those sets, but I think I lost them in a house move somewhere along the way... 😭
And the cartoon deserved way more recognition than it got. It was well-written, didn't talk down to kids at all, and the animation was _stunning._
By the by, at the beginning of the video, who's that little chonky translucent giraffe-dude with the square on his chest standing next to Triple Threat Snake? He looks like he _should_ be another Battle Beast, but I don't recognise the style...
...Merry Christmas, chief. o7
86 was the year Optimus Prime died.
Man, Crafman. Taking me back right there. I forgot that I even had some of these toys! Reminds me of my youth playing with my brothers. And wore that Dinoriders VHS out! Merry Christmas, Craftfam!
Great Video Craftsman.. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
That was a great video. I love 89’s toys. Instant subscribe. Thank you
Thank you!
I was 10 years old in 1986...lots of great toys back then. I didn’t have many of the toys you mentioned, but I was familiar with all of them. Transformers were my jam! And, I have a soft spot for Robo Force. Thanks for everything you do, Crafsman!
ROBO FORCE! Yessir!
Also a fan of Transformers (and GoBots - LOL!). :D
Woah, I had a Capsela Set when I was a kid, back in the 90's.
I have happy memories of watching Dino Riders and playing with the toys. Thank you for reminding me Kind Sir!
I was 4 in 1986. That said, I miss those metal Nestle Quick cans...
What about Mainway Toys 1976 line which included "Johnny Switchblade Adventure Punk", "Bag O' Glass", and "Teddy Chainsaw Bear" among others.
Merry Christmas, Crafsman!
Fun fact.
Those stomper cars were invented by a man named Eddie Goldfarb...a fellow toy crafting whiz, credited with the invention of 800 some odd toys, including chattering joke teeth, and the board game ker-plunk!
Eddy Goldfarb is basically responsible for a primary accessory to Batman's most noteworthy adversary, the Joker.
Look him up if this is the first time you've heard of him...and if I got some information incorrect, lemme know and I'll edit it.
See, Crafsman the reason I went crazy on EBay and bought all the old Adventure People!
1986, my friend, is the year I was born. Glad my birth year had such cool toys!
I had a SpaceLink set! I completely forgot about the figures, I just had vague sense memories of the plastic spheres. I've always wondered what that build-a-moon-base toy was. Thank you so much for bringing up that nearly-buried memory!!!
They don’t makem like they used to!!!
Happy Holidays to you and your families,CrafMan!!!🙏🏻❤️👍🏻🔥🔥
Cheers bud. Fascinating. Have a brilliant Christmas.
Merry Christmas Crafsman, Crafsfamily and all the Crafsfriends here 🎄🎁🎄❤🎄
Wow! Now that was a blast from the past. My favourite toys from back then and to this day are the StarCom and Dino Riders. Also the Visionaries you've got kicking around are a nice bit of nostalgia. Thank you for what you do and happy holidays to you and yours!
Always glad to read a comment like this one. Thank you! And happy holidays to you and yours as well!
this channel always makes me smile
I like toys too! Starcom was one of my favorite toy lines.
Happy holidays crafman! I had to search for new vids in spite of my notifications being for this channel being turned on. But now I'm commenting for engagement so there.
That little Spacelink ship looks fantastic on it's own.
Many thing passed me by in 1986 as I was really into GI Joe, but I did get a few Starcom sets. They were a lot of fun and i was so amazed at what they could do without needing any batteries!
I had the Starmax Bomber and the Starwolf starfighter and I loved that you could either put it on the top or store it in the cargo area in the back. I remember pretending that the little pilot could hang out in the bigger ship while traveling and he could climb a ladder to his fighter and deploy for action. Today, I only have the Dash figure, but he's complete with his backpack and pistol. I had to get one as he was my favorite Starcom figure :)
I was born in 88 and had a Starcom figure my whole life. Stuck him to everything. Never knew where he came from! And yeah he never had a visor as long as I can remember haha. Thank you for the lesson Crafsman.
Ooh I had all of these... except the Stomper toys.
Thanks for taking me on a trip and telling me the names of those things.
The starcom guys stayed on my fridge for years
Just so happen to be the year of me coming into existence!
I grew up loving My Little Pony (G1), Trendmasters Starcastle, Littlest Pet Shop, Puppy and Kitty in my Pocket. Those were the days. :)
These days I customize dolls and love me some steady craftin'.
Christmas came early this week :) Love you Crafsman!
My brother in relative age!!
(Or taste in toys from a certain period)
Would love to see more of your favorites from mid to late 80s!
I'm guessing Micro Machines had a big impact on the trend toward much smaller figures, and toy companies were HUGE believers in the " imitation is the sincerest form of flattery " philosophy. Thanks for the video and Merry Christmas to you and the whole CrafsFamily
You may be onto something with the Micro Machines! And yessir, there was definitely some imitation going on, specifically around 1986, with those tiny figures.
1986 I was 8 years old and really loved Centurions. The Centurians action figures had suit attachments that made them fly, go underwater, and ride on land. An amazing time to be a kid at Christmas time. Thank you CrafsMan for sharing.
In 1986, I was a HUGE fan of M.A.S.K. Watched everyday after school. I had a few MASK toys, those figures were somewhat smaller sized, too... but Christmas 1986 was my first set of ROBOTIX.
