Inside a Rare Super Powers Toy Haul! - Toy Federation

[00:00:00] Speaker 1: so these these are all going straight to retro toy con in november if you hadn't bought your tickets be there these will be gone friday night in the first 30 minutes oh geez i don't even want to think about it well what'll probably happen is one guy's just gonna buy the whole run or they're gonna buy we haven't got to the really good one yet i'm gonna save him for last no no [00:00:19] Speaker 2: what we have here is a collection that came in of 1984 to 1986 kenner superpowers figures we were messaged about it and saw some pictures it said sure bring it in and so now you played with these as a kid i did i love these these were my second favorite only two secret secret wars and that's because you like marvel more than dc that's what it's what what i had first spider-man was the first [00:01:00] Speaker 1: character i think the cartoon was great to me the voices that were in this show yeah are the voices that i think of how these characters sound oh yeah yeah not so then you know it's very branding yeah right right nobody's you know like batman was great next saturday blast off into adventure with [00:01:20] Speaker 3: the superpowers team join superman firestorm and cyborg as they battle galactic monsters destroy them now it's the brand new adventures of the superpowers team next saturday [00:01:34] Speaker 2: i didn't see the cartoon until like i think some point after that first batman movie came out because there was a whole long period where there was nothing superheroes in any media other than in comics i [00:01:45] Speaker 1: 1989 batman yeah it's like such a big deal in the movie theater but the years before like three [00:01:50] Speaker 2: four years before is nothing this ended in 86 after that they quit airing oh right right right right so there was nothing on tv there was you know for me it felt like there's just i had these to remember you know the characters and the things you know peppered farms and members i couldn't i couldn't remember the back of the card you know i was little when i got some of the ones that i had if i remember correctly it's 33 or 34 figures i can never remember the count because there's one mail away food we have mail away clark hunt no no no we don't all right we have one but it's not worthy he's wrecked yeah [00:02:32] Speaker 1: and this is the guy this arm is always broken that's right it's always this arm because you're [00:02:37] Speaker 2: supposed to squeeze him and he kicks his leg which is not even necessary but because it's very brittle plastic that they they need that for the vacuum forming the chrome and that coloring isn't that [00:02:51] Speaker 1: usually worn away some yeah sometimes yeah that's a lot that's that's so this one looks sharp [00:02:56] Speaker 2: but yeah the arm always breaks because the the stress you're putting on it to [00:03:01] Speaker 1: fire the mechanism tends to break it and a lot of times people might bring some of these in and they'll be the toy biz versions oh yeah and then they'll have rivets in the knees and the [00:03:14] Speaker 2: knees that's the dead giveaway they're also sculpted yeah a lot like i guess poorer i don't know he chose poorly he chose poor sculpting but i mean that was toy biz first thing they had never done anything before and they were they were really just trying to survive yeah but was it the same mold just poor quality they took the original figures and they sculpted on top changed it just enough so they wouldn't get in trouble interesting and some of them they re-sculpted the heads entirely and they were it just it was bad um plastic man's a tough one yeah plastic man's a tough one i remember my dad [00:03:58] Speaker 1: when i he gave me all his comics he had he liked plastic man he had a plastic man so he he goes back [00:04:04] Speaker 2: so to me this is probably the best batman figure to exist because it looks the most like the classic batman that i grew up with like a neil adams batman it's not neil adams but the artist that drew him definitely took from neil adams so it's the closest you're going to get to it is that [00:04:22] Speaker 1: like neil adams coloring yeah yeah like he was neil adams influenced every batman writer and artist for [00:04:32] Speaker 2: the next you know yeah it's cool yeah it's cool very and that's a very very nice one [00:04:39] Speaker 1: he's one i have a problem with that so it's this what i'm like six super minty chest emblem i guess [00:04:44] Speaker 2: yeah there's a lot of things with him like the emblem is most important but he usually gets scrapes on the knuckles on the toes you'll get frayed capes or or you know there's all sorts of things so with him it's it's all condition here's another tough guy golden pharaoh golden pharaoh is that [00:05:04] Speaker 1: the one i need no you have him i don't know if you have staff i might not have a staff yeah but i mean i could get the staff later yeah yeah because this this means we're going to have every figure [00:05:16] Speaker 2: we're going to be short we need an orion and we need uh cyclotron the guy that has the face and the mask that comes off yeah that one's so tough to get not that we couldn't get it so we have and we [00:05:29] Speaker 1: need to face yes so this is mantis that's mantis i got lots more [00:05:38] Speaker 2: oh yeah one mr miracle he's a another tough one and it's it's all the third wave figures it's just like any toy line the last the last wave before they cancel it's the toughest so these these are all [00:05:51] Speaker 1: going straight to retro toy con in november you're right about that if you hadn't bought your tickets be there buy them now it'll be fun yeah it's totally worth coming but these will be gone friday night in the first 30 minutes oh geez i don't even want to think about it well what will probably [00:06:08] Speaker 2: happen is one guy's just gonna buy the whole run yeah yeah these were probably in some cases the first representation of the character some of them you know showed up in migo years before and some of the yeah a lot of really right some of the really popular ones were in captain action and the late 60s uh we don't have his arrows but oh crap it doesn't matter come on yeah you just have to buy it complete how many arrows does he get i think two oh man and then there's also this bow string [00:06:41] Speaker 1: oh crap so so so we're in trouble i i mean who like how's that string last i mean the bow string [00:06:48] Speaker 2: gets a thin piece of plastic like a fishing line and it might have like two little things to just hook it [00:06:54] Speaker 1: on the end of the the bow there adding us the joker so how many villains were there it was heavily good [00:07:03] Speaker 2: guys uh yeah i think it was a little lopsided shazam oh yeah he's a he's a good one i used to watch [00:07:13] Speaker 4: that cartoon when billy speaks the wizard's name shazam billy becomes captain marvel mighty champion combining the wisdom of solomon the strength of hercules the stamina of atlas the power of boots the courage of achille and the speed of mercury [00:07:38] Speaker 2: i think this is one of those where he's not as desired but he's probably one of the toughest ones he knocked chuck is that no he doesn't say that that's the giant guy yeah this is uh samurai [00:07:51] Speaker 1: man he's dark side's real big i mean he's like an entirely he you got your plastics worth with that guy [00:07:59] Speaker 2: oh yeah this is the one that everybody wants this is the holy grail of the line it's cyborg who was a part of justice league and you know the superpowers line teen titans teen titans you know very popular character and uh as you can see he's got like a two attachments you could switch his hand out with so he's got a claw and a drill he was the last released in america and that usually means he was the most neglected this one's in pristine i it it's it probably still grade like mid-level just because it's got a like a scuff on the shin but but overall like this is probably one of the best ones i've seen [00:08:46] Speaker 1: and then if is it argentina or is it the pasipa or whatever it was plasterama it was plasterama all of them did this guy so then this this was uh not there's no flesh tone here it's all so they they [00:08:58] Speaker 2: painted this square on the arms and legs none of them no flesh okay so so then that's the dead giveaway [00:09:04] Speaker 1: because that's the more affordable version of this figure is to get the argentina one not not by much but it is it is cheap well there was a time where i thought you could pick those up for like a thousand card 800 yeah it's kind of like if in the if you want to use a star wars reference finding a yak face on a tri logo is so much easier than finding a yak face on a power of the force coin right carded right what is the uh the ones that weren't released here that we always pacifica is the company and a super amigos [00:09:36] Speaker 2: is the name of the brand right so there's a riddler there's a riddler from this made from a green lantern body right there is a captain rayo which is a repainted superman oh right and he doesn't exist otherwise they just made him up and then there's an abominable snowman that's made from a pocket [00:09:55] Speaker 1: superheroes incredible hulk figure yeah but those are suits so tiny so he's that tiny and he's yeah he's supposed to be involved something that's horrible but then you said there's like an 89 batman [00:10:08] Speaker 2: but that's probably that's estrella they had the license but they did this thing they probably weren't supposed to a batman movie was coming out they cast him in black plastic and they made it just like the movie and from what i understand they were they got away with it for six months before they got a cease [00:10:23] Speaker 1: and desist well that was before the internet it was before they couldn't they couldn't figure out what they were doing over there two four six eight ten twelve fourteen sixteen eighteen twenty twenty two twenty four twenty six twenty eight to nine thirty and with him is that thirty one and then we're still [00:10:40] Speaker 2: missing three you said or two well it's it's two but then yeah clark kent would count so he'd be a third [00:10:46] Speaker 1: yeah these look great oh yeah in such a colorful line yeah yeah no it's it's it's very very eye-catching it was [00:10:56] Speaker 2: and and the sculpting on these is just fantastic i mean i wish more toy lines had this kind of look back then and then the card i mean yeah the card card art was great yeah yeah these will go so quick [00:11:18] Speaker 1: so then this we were prepping for the show and then this came in there's no super heavy hitters so then you got your card of robin and then so then there's hawk man and we know who drew is it the same artist who drew all the cards jose luis garcia lopez he did the dc catalog and they used it for probably like two decades now who did these comics do you know that i don't know but i want to say [00:11:44] Speaker 2: it was or all different they could have been but they all ape the same style they you know to look they you know to look consistent i've never yeah because all the superpowers came with little mini [00:11:52] Speaker 1: comics which was cool like mask toys did yep uh a lot of kids star ears did he man did uh she-ra did they should have given star wars mini comics so yeah there's another one brainiac [00:12:09] Speaker 2: fan club offer and i think this was the first time that he looked like this because was most brainiacs before like the version of him was he was green you know the joker [00:12:21] Speaker 1: the flash and then you got a file card you cut out the back now some of them at the end didn't do comics and all you could get was the card right right [00:12:31] Speaker 2: that's right the third wave i think didn't get any mini comics so for [00:12:36] Speaker 1: bori there is no comic yeah there's no no mini yeah so this this is good for us we don't you know to have this set up for the booth uh for the show is gonna look great so right now if you go to our [00:12:50] Speaker 2: case i don't know what we even have in it right now yeah i haven't really been restocking because i did put back some to replenish well what happens is once you start getting close to the show [00:13:02] Speaker 1: then you start saving just because it's right around the corner so we might as well yeah and then you know we're the goal is to get people from all over the country to come check out our [00:13:14] Speaker 5: show and see some amazing things coming from the farthest reaches of the universe to challenge the worst villains on earth are the most powerful heroes ever in the battle of the superpowers collection what's this the dam's about to blow and take robin with it who will stop the joker and luther kenner's new superpowers collection figures with power action each sold separately with its own mini comic aqua man who can help now a power ring a power action punch diffuse the bomb can this madness be stopped in time you decide all right so the feature for superpowers and they all differ somewhat [00:13:51] Speaker 2: don't break it i will not batman's usually a good one if it works he will he's running punch this is that they call it punching a lot of them break down to do their arms move or do their legs move i got to get out of here guys i'll see you later some of them have more modified actions i think [00:14:19] Speaker 6: you know you oh yeah that's like a side get out of my get out get out hey wake up get out of here chump right that's calabac calabac that's his son that's calabac's chicken calabac's chicken i'll do this guy [00:14:33] Speaker 2: because this guy is awesome it's a plastic man one of my favorites as a kid boy i don't want to do that again though because we ain't breaking them yeah his he can be one that breaks too travis almost bought that what happens is the action arm doesn't break it's the other arm that's really put yeah that's where you end up kids end up putting more pressure on because it doesn't move oh i see that one does so that's i was trying to keep it here oh i see and not squeeze the other arm right right so this could break too but every time he's come in it's been that arm so i remember that because as a kid mine broke i super glued it back on so then you didn't have that problem doing [00:15:15] Speaker 1: the feature we'll show you how difficult these are to do because what this is the pristine nice best of the best which is what we do when we put stuff in our cases but he's going to show you the ones that can't go out but that we still have these are workable doesn't [00:15:39] Speaker 2: mean they're perfect there's there's cyclotron so we if you get that piece yeah we need this piece [00:15:45] Speaker 1: for him he's one that's missing from over there i don't think we've ever had it that's a tough piece he's feature still works yeah but there's no bat symbol what do you do yeah this is a one-armed batman got a good chest animal though he does he's not he's not bad no he just doesn't have a great cape oh yeah look at that cape it's like yellowed and it's near the litter box or something but i mean that could probably wash but that looks i washed that one oh so then oh yeah this is this one real [00:16:16] Speaker 2: this is too nice it's but the it might be real but the collar itself is broken it has to be replaced oh [00:16:23] Speaker 1: so then yeah that would look yeah so this is before yeah yeah but the little plastic ring so what is that do they sell that there was something you could slide in there uh yeah it's supposed to [00:16:36] Speaker 2: be stitched in and you can kind of maneuver it and and put it back in place but but yeah there might be [00:16:41] Speaker 1: a theory we could try to get that one out but then you have to cut that out of the cave and oh i got [00:16:46] Speaker 2: you so it's not that you couldn't it's just you got to be careful because what if that breaks this is what we have to work through and i mean this is the kind of thing that we normally get [00:16:56] Speaker 1: oh yeah she's she's horrendous i mean she's suntanned yeah i mean she's she put some bronzer on or something they got heavily played with i mean that's no doubt so this is a figure we don't [00:17:09] Speaker 2: have that's your mail away clark kent but i mean the condition on this is is pretty rough he's not in [00:17:14] Speaker 1: great condition yeah because he's already the chest the the coats discolored from yeah the arms all the paint wear in the hands yeah his hair is gone it's receding what was his feature it's [00:17:30] Speaker 2: same thing just he just files paperwork really hard it's like lois i'm coming can you uh don't look i'm going to change real quick wouldn't have been beneficial if one of them had been a photographer and wouldn't have been a reporter because you don't send two reporters [00:17:47] Speaker 1: the one thing do you i don't know yeah [00:17:59] Speaker 5: finish baby
