This is a really fantastic retrospect. I loved the toys as a kid and was always perplexed that they didn't make a Medusa toy! Other companies have attempted to fill it in over the years. Thanks! Great review!
You have to admit, especially for way back then they nailed the main characters head sculpt. The only ones I have are the two bad guys, that sometimes got played with Star Wars. 😊
At one point there was aMedusa model kit, & the Gentle giant vinyl figures (scanned from the ACTUAL models used in the films- Medusa, Calibos & the Kraken
Great Video! Just letting everyone know 1981 Clash of the Titans is on RUclips Movies for Free!! I'll probably go watch it after this. Really miss those movies. I always thought it was older than just "81. Kinda the last of that old era of movies.
It took years to track down, but I was able to buy a second hand Charon, Perseus and the soldier. I discovered that Dollar tree sold a rubber Pegasus in almost the same scale, which is easily repaintable. I've seen a few Calbos for sale, but they were all missing the tail and they were sold fast. Also, I watched this movie decades ago and still watch it from time to time, and after many trials and errors I've made life size "Owlets" based on Bubo the Owl. I used both Bluetooth receivers and talking greeting card modules to make them " Talk" . I'm seriously thinking about using them in a video I have an idea for.
I will admit to my heist to see this movie!!.I had read and seen pics of this movie before it came out in Famous Monster (or Fangoria?)...being a Harryhausen fan since birth...I would move the Earth itself to watch this epic!!!! I knew we wouldn't see it...being from a poor family.So when it came out...I stole the coin from my neighbor...who was quite an assh$le and kicked my dog ...jumped on my Huffy Pro Thunder...pedaled 20 miles to the nearest Showcase cinema behind my families back...and watched that beloved movie!!!! I was a sneaky 11 yr old...did what I had to do sometimes!!And after being blown away by that movie...I never felt 1 ounce of guilt or regret for cuffin a couple bucks off that assh%le neighbor!!Ahhh memories!!Never owned any of the toys but my friend had that Kraken!! If I was 1 more ounce of evil...I would've cuffed it from him....but we were buds and respected that! Thanks for the trip down memory lane which earns a sub!!!
@@charliebrownie4158 BSG is a mixed bag. The Cylons are really striking figures, but the humans (Starbuck, Adama, & Baltar) leave something to be desired.
This movie was absolutely one of my favorite movies when I was a kid the Medusa scene is aces.

There is the Vitruvian Hacks Medusa which is what i use in my collection, but Medusa in the film is bigger lol

We seriously need a NECA Medusa already!
More Medusa the better i say!

@@nigeldonaldson1647 There's tons of amazing modern and boutique figure for Clash, im glad its getting the love it deserves even 40 years later.
Yeah i give it a watch. Hope your channel explodes i love history and toy.
@@skratchforce9785 Thanks🎉 Transformers are my Jam, but that dosent mean there isnt a whole wide world of toys to talk about!
This Line was new when I was 2, so Star Wars were the first toys I remember, much to my older Brother's horror...

It's on of the greats for a reason!🎉
Nice video but you never shouted “RELEASE THE KRAKEN!”
Unfortunately Liam Neeson never responded to my calls to appear in this video

I had Calibos as a kid..mine had a blue toga and yellow bracers, not sure about his boots
Got to be a way to get a diecast metal owl

Well done

Thats a heck of a heist!🎉
@@PdxToycollective It was a heck of a movie lol! :)
Had all of them when they came out! Not anymore 😖
Hey, the good thing about being an adult, you can buy all the toys ya want!😂
The only Mattel Toy line that I loved. Battlestar Galactica seemed so lame. Though I loved the series their figures seemed so badly made.

Clearly RUclips likes Greek Mythology and oldschool action figures😂
