    Man, I am so glad that I'm not a vintage Joe collector, because thanks to you and Michael French, I know I'd fall down a deep Action Force rabbit hole!

      I'm with you on that one. I'm content with just viewing other people's collections. I collect books and although they fit nicely on a shelf, it gets difficult to find space for them all and lord knows it gets expensive trying to complete a collection. ESPECIALLY when it comes to first editions. If I started a toy habit, I'd be living in a storage shed myself.

      I simply don't have the room for a total vintage AF/Joe collection, but if I see a couple for a good price at a toy show or something, I'll bite.
      Sometimes it's good to just admire someone else's collection and the history behind the toys. Tony's a good example, everything I learned about AF and Palitoy came from him

    My favourite pick ups were vintage Star Wars figures. I owned about 20 different ones which my son gifted me several years ago because he knew I had them as a child. This year I decided to complete the collection. I now have all of them as well as several vehicles and playsets all acquired in 2023! Wasn’t cheap, but worth it.

    Great items in that list, especially the Fire Tender. I do remember having the Action Man Fireman uniform and the Police Motorcycle from the emergency team. My number 1 pick-up this year has to be a vintage Millennium Falcon loose, but with box. Finally, after many years of collecting Vintage SW, I got around to getting one and it was in really good condition at a really cheap price! Not far behind that is my first M.A.S.K. vehicle since childhood: Jackhammer complete with box and again in great condition. Also managed to pick up a Last 17 Luke Stormtrooper minus accessories for 25 quid which I think was an absolute steal! And I expanded my Vintage Action Force collection with quite a few more vehicles and figures. Hope you had a great Christmas, Tony. Thanks for the great content this year and wishing you a fantastic 2024!

Well done and Happy New Year!

    Tony, a funny little anecdote for you about your Fire Tender. I'm from Ireland, but earlier this year I was buying a car in Nuneaton, so I took the opportunity to call into Leciester Vintage toys, which is a shop I wanted to visit for a long long time. I met both Joe and Gav, and bought a few things, anyway I'm also an AM collector and bought that day a vintage Crash Crew late issue. When I got home and inspected it a bit closer I noticed included was the Fire Tender Axe, and I've always wondered if this should have been included in the one you bought from them as I know it was missing when you got it. Following your channel as I do I also know that you managed to get one, so yeah I might have ended up with your axe (sorry)!! It remains a grail of mine also and hopefully one day I can pick one up. Keep up the great work.

    Looking forward to your Dagobah review as well as that new Luke figure from Stan Solo. The playset from Drew G. has a hell of a lot of play features in a very small footprint.
    As for the Killer W.H.A.L.E. video and shooting on water, I'm reminded of Jaws filming nightmares.

    My best pick up of the was a complete vintage Imperial shuttle, nothing broken for a steal of $70usd. 2nd a orange Jurassic Park Bull T-Rex. It was a ToysRUs exclusive in the late 2000s when Harbro had the lic. But it is made off the Old Kenner tool. Very cool and big 28inches long.

    Hey Tony👋🇬🇧
    Some beautiful vintage figures/ toys there mate.
    80% of what I bought last year was modern and as nice as these toys are to have in my collection I do miss the nostalgia attached to a vintage toy purchase…. I loved your story about your trip to Toys R Us Singapore👍
    I have made a conscious decision to slow down with modern toy collecting and with the exception of some upcoming MOTU releases, this year for me is all about vintage!
    Really looking forward to your upcoming Star Wars video….
    Great stuff mate, take care👍

Idk...I get stuff and put it in my storage because I'm not able to have a display yet. I hope 2024 I get a new job that allows me to buy a house and display my stuff. Happy new year, everybody!

    Nice video!!! Because of your channel, retro blasting, and others, i have rescued my toys (Joes, He Mans & Tranformers among others) from oblivion. Now they are all standing tall in wall shelves in my music room! And guess what, I have a Snake Bite figure! I could not find info on it and for a moment I thought it was a fake for the Chilean market, which is where I am from. Anyway, I started collecting vintage Joes, He Mans, and Masterpiece Transformers all over. Good times!!

    I just am enamored with the detail and sculpt of the latter, and the former might be as close as I will ever get to owning a Superman action figure based on the art of THE Superman artist, Curt Swan.

    It’s interesting to me when you mentioned about dreadnok cycle action force to gijoe. I had similar experience when I went over to Ireland when my dad mum was unwell and one my cousins was into action force and when I saw duke I was no that GIJoe. We soon discovered it was same toys but label differently. So over the years on Christmas letter we got to write message to each other and he always sent me action force annual and figure and my sister got a Cindy doll. Now my cousin is toy collector and he help me find some action force stuff over there. Anyway great video buddy hope you have good new year eve
