    What a great toy line. I never had any of theses as a kid. Love that hand puppet idea. 👍👍👍

      Hey Tez, yeah now I have them in hand they are a great line mate, the hand puppet thing was a great gimmick.
      I genuinely love the line when maybe 6 months ago they were barley on my radar 🤷🏻‍♂️
      Strange this collecting lark right??

    Another Reynolds Reviews video smashes open some long forgotten memory on a Sunday for me. My late brother picked up that tarantula toy at a jumble sale one Christmas. We used it for our He-Man figures and got hours of playtime with it. And for years too. I even now remember this toy coming holidays with us. Amazing condition and I actually love the way the box looks. Think you done a great job piecing it back together.

      Hey Conor, aw mate what a great memory, love it when things I show help job such wonderful memories for people.
      And I can imagine it fit in well with MOTU, you also could’ve played havoc with it on your holidays 😂😂
      As always thanks for sharing and watching buddy

    What an incredible figure/steed duo! I love that sort of pearlescent paint deco on Skulk, and Trancula's furry legs are creepily realistic! I'm definitely being drawn to Sectaurs!

    • @ReynoldsReviews
      @ReynoldsReviews  10 месяцев назад +1

      Ooooo Scott my boy!!! You definitely will not be disappointed if you dip your toe in, and not a huge line so very doable, I’d be very interested to see if you go anywhere with these lol.
      Keep me posted man👍
      Thanks for your support as always mate 🙏🏻

    This line you mentioned is from 1984 which is why the Star Wars action figures were loosing popularity. What a great video and bargain! Well done my friend!

    • @ReynoldsReviews
      @ReynoldsReviews  10 месяцев назад +2

      Hey Mike, didn’t last long but they just looked so cool, and very different to most things on the market then.
      Plus the hand puppet feature was awesome, great to see you in the comments man 👍

    @VintageToyRush 10 месяцев назад +2

    Great video, even if I watched through my fingers 🤣No seriously, great looking glove puppet. Love that all the accessories have somewhere to go, and you can clearly see where the Rambo line got its style from. Once again, the eBay king strikes again - that's an awesome price for both complete!!! 🤘 Nice one Luke 👍

    • @ReynoldsReviews
      @ReynoldsReviews  10 месяцев назад +2

      Lol hey Dave, you can come out from behind the sofa now 😂
      Yeah the articulation is pretty much the same with Rambo and Sectaurs, Colecos style is there for all to see.
      But yes lol the price seemed too good to be true when I realised skulk was complete with Tarancula and box, albeit wrecked.
      I was confident I could work some VTR magic on it and make it displayable again, thankfully it all come together nicely at a bargain price, but if you think I did well on this purchase, wait until you see an episode coming in the next couple of weeks 👍

    Morning Luke👋….
    I remember having this guy and the puppet as a kid, but was never a huge fan of creepy Crawley’s🕷️👀
    It’s great that you’ve been able to complete the line of figures too…they’ll look amazing on display and can’t wait for your video showing these off!!
    Take care Luke👍🕷️👀😳

    • @ReynoldsReviews
      @ReynoldsReviews  10 месяцев назад +2

      Hey Craig, I gotta be honest, spiders completely freak me out, but as this one isn’t real I can live with it lol.
      But yeah the line is complete as far as the figures go, still need some accessories and bug sidekicks, but it will be coming soon 👍

    Great video Luke, i have no real recollection of this line, but they look fantastic. What a great (and simple idea) having a glove as the accessory. The play value would've been great.
    When you get time for the whole collection video, do it justice, no matter how long it ends up!

    • @ReynoldsReviews
      @ReynoldsReviews  10 месяцев назад +2

      Hey Dez, yeah it’s a great line! Well now I’m thinking I shouldn’t show it until it’s 100% complete, but I’m already planning it man.
      Should be a good one 👍. Thanks for watching pal

  • @k-dawgbroadcasting5444
    @k-dawgbroadcasting5444 10 месяцев назад +2

    Great vid, Luke! As a kid, I remembered Sectaurs, and I mostly was familiar with the insect puppets and the Hive, but it's a really innovative toyline for the time! As I'm sure you know, I became reacquainted with this line after watching Michael's video on Retroblasting. The sculpt, the details, you just don't see this particular type of effort in everything. Partially I know, because as you said, spiders and creepy crawlies aren't everyone's cup of tea, but also, in today's mass produced and profit engineered atmosphere, these would get made as a crowd fund or a limited edition run. I look forward to the eventual complete overview. Have a happy weekend and cheers my friend!

    • @ReynoldsReviews
      @ReynoldsReviews  10 месяцев назад +1

      Hey man, yeah they were a very unique line to say the least, but extremely cool gimmick with the hand puppet insects as you say.
      The Hyve is fast becoming a grail piece, just don’t see them🤷🏻‍♂️
      But thanks as always for your support and kind words man, means a lot 👍👊

  • @lexistoyloft2641

    • @ReynoldsReviews
      @ReynoldsReviews  10 месяцев назад +1

      100% agree my good man! I’m not too far off completing the line, such a shame they didn’t take off.
      An independent company did try to bring them back but don’t think that happened in the end either 🤷🏻‍♂️
      Thanks for watching pal

    • @ReynoldsReviews
      @ReynoldsReviews  10 месяцев назад +1

      Hey Gary, yeah few people have said the same.
      It came and went quick and had very stiff competition in the mid 80s, but still a Brilliant line mate, and so different to anything else at the time.

      Lol yeah I know a few people who struggled to watch this one 😂😬
      I think the whole hand puppet thing is a great gimmick, such a shame they came and went so quickly 🤷🏻‍♂️
      But mid 80s had some juggernaut lines, they never stood a chance I guess 🤷🏻‍♂️

    @PaulsCollectibles 10 месяцев назад +1

    Well, this is officially the creepiest toy line I've ever seen! 😂 And are you kidding? These things are gloves that you put on your hand to move them around? 😮 What an interesting concept! And on a related note, your filming, shot selection and editing has just gotten really good as of late, Luke! This video is very smooth and professional. Nicely done, sir!

    Those are cool figs for sure. Really interesting that Coleco made these. This line and Rambo? My first thought of Coleco is the game console lol. Oh yeah and Starcom! Those I had great toy lines all around!

    • @ReynoldsReviews
      @ReynoldsReviews  10 месяцев назад +2

      Hey man, yeah you can definitely see similarities in the Sectaurs and Rambo figures, especially in the articulation.
      But strange I always forget about the gaming side with Coleco, and starcom, strange how that works lol.

    Dude…what a great video,thanks so much for your efforts,couldn’t agree more with the points you made in this review,awesome storage for weapons and massive playability with both figures and the coolest of hand puppets..man I have such great memories of playing with these guys,one drawback I must say is the durability,overall amazing toys and even the concept in full,gotta love it,cheers again bro

    • @ReynoldsReviews
      @ReynoldsReviews  10 месяцев назад +1

      Hey Gerard, aw thanks so much man.
      Yeah having got into them I think they really are a brilliant line, and so underrated.
      I don’t recall thinking they weren’t very durable, but I soon moved on from them as a kid, and as an adult they only get displayed, so I guess it’s hard to tell.
      Thanks for watching pal

    Hi Luke, what’s your secret of finding bargains??? I need to know, I guess luck plays a part as I assume most of are collecting the same things there’s always interest in everything on eBay, just last night I missed out on a manta force piece, usually I’d be home and dry on that but no longer, 😂😂😂 everyone’s collecting everything now 😂😂😂
