years running in bridgeton missouri just outside of st louis it's a little local ish to me and it's a show that i've been attending for many many years it happens multiple times a year so this is always one of those shows where if i've got a free weekend and i don't have a lot going on yeah why not hit the toy show and that's what i decided to do on this sunday i hopped in a car with my friends jason duvall and dave draper and we went to look for some toys now what exactly am i looking for i don't know this was one of those days where i just decided let's go to the toy show and see what happens and you know as soon as i walk in the door i'm already seeing some pretty cool stuff [00:01:09] Speaker 1: one of these here that is sweet exo space series oh these are like the like the little oh okay two it screws up everything if you made it to scale for these figures yeah that box would be half the size of this of course yeah wow yeah i would say these larger figures are really cool too i don't think i've ever seen these before neo sapien warriors wow [00:01:41] Speaker 2: exo squad is definitely a weak point as far as like my toy knowledge goes and i had never seen these neo sapiens these larger scale figures before but this was a fun way to start the day seeing something really cool like this though not something i'm interested in purchasing today but cool to see nonetheless good oh yeah yeah that's awesome yeah anytime you can find these with like card backs and accessories yeah look twenty dollars with a card back and weapons that's a great deal splinter for 20 bucks we got baxter yeah this is in here raf mondo space cadet raf that's still one of my all-time faves right there i love space cadet raf casey gangas sewer samurai leo general trag scumbug wow

old 90s model kits were amazing look at the detail on those something else to add to the pot that i'll never paint [00:04:39] Speaker 2: is that what happens you buy these and then they just sit there and you know i'll get to it eventually kind of a thing yeah i i know i totally get it that's totally the same kind of thing i would do [00:04:49] Speaker 3: i got stacks of them i'm like i'm gonna build these one of these days one day and i have a venom that i've been working on for like two years i'm like all i need to finish this is mouth and i'm like i'll do it tomorrow tomorrow never comes [00:05:02] Speaker 2: dude this is like an interesting little section of like it's just all like incomplete but kind of obscure figures like brave star that's dungeons and dragons this is black star this is inhumanoids so it's like a weird little section yeah and there's a bunch of mask figures yeah there's more inhumanoids okay so here's something that i am interested in grabbing this is a she-ra fantastic fashions look so as a masters of the universe collector i've come to realize that i have a lot of holes in my vintage she-ra collection and this year i decided to rectify that and start picking up more pieces from the she-ra toy line and that includes the fantastic fashions so yeah i'm probably gonna pick up some doll clothes what are you gonna do about it i'll try to catch it do you know how much on the she-ra uh five dollars five dollars all right i'll grab that for a minute for five dollars you can't go wrong this is the flight of fancy set i did notice after getting at home it's missing one piece which is the shield but the rest of it is there and again five dollars really happy that i found this purchase of the day clothes for she-ra all right you got naked she-ras no i just got clothes i got i got [00:06:27] Speaker 3: fantastic fashion you have naked she-ras at home well i have a new outfit for her to put on long day you come home you pour yourself a drink it's morbid [00:06:40] Speaker 2: yeah why wouldn't it give him a change is that what you gave him a dollar for yeah i gave him a dollar they wasn't gonna do it i was like give me a dollar look at these soakies yeah dude wait oh they got [00:06:53] Speaker 3: stuff in them still oh good oh crazy that's what that's what you wanted yeah you should buy it and then wash your hair with it too oh good yeah oh wait wait hold on here you go dave oh oh no i'm kidding i got it you dinosaur bath soap dave you don't have anything i do not have that you don't have that [00:07:15] Speaker 2: so you can buy this and then you can take a bath test it out that's pretty cool how much is the bath soap 25 25 that's pretty cool it looks like the kind of stuff it looks like the kind of stuff you would see like in the merchandise shop at jurassic park right yeah like that's pretty cool nice thank goodness bug men of insecta and a sucker man [00:07:46] Speaker 1: that is awesome to see galaxy rangers oh cool [00:07:54] Speaker 2: and then was this applause that did these yeah it is applause that's yeah attack of the killer tomatoes i know everybody loves those tomatoes but this is you don't see like people going for these guys yeah that's pretty cool there's a pretender that i don't have but there's no transformer inside that's it oh sweet he's flocked tiny little not panthor i came across so many dig bins at this show many of which were one dollar a piece figures or two dollar a piece figures and i love myself a good dig bin so of course i rifled through every single one of these that i came across and i ended up pulling out several toys that ended up coming home with me so here is a small haul that i brought back with me everything you see in this pile only cost me one or two dollars a piece every time i come across these cheaper dig bins i always end up grabbing some things that i may not necessarily need to be grabbing and bringing home but it's hard to pass up a good deal right dollar figures how could i resist oh mini play sets yep what are these [00:09:09] Speaker 4: other ones those are all like this yeah what we like the stalwart ones i forgot what they're called um like little pirates like micro machines yeah [00:09:22] Speaker 1: those are rad are they both pirate themed or is this one no this is a oh this one's got like little eggs and yeah this is a jurassic park oh okay so this is [00:09:41] Speaker 5: jurassic park got it okay this one's micro machines like a tank one right i think this is gi joe i think [00:09:53] Speaker 2: this oh okay oh and then these little i've seen these before too yeah those are all these little castles so this booth had a lot of really cool micro play sets which i love i'm a fan of these those castles specifically i thought were really cool especially since i had a horror themed version of one of those that i found at the show a couple years ago but i did end up picking up one of the micro play sets i found at this table which is not one that i had on a list to buy but the price was right and it looked fun so i got this superman micro play set it's pretty cool it's got a little feature where you can put clark kent in the building and close the door and when you reopen it he's superman and it also came with an extra superman that's in a flight pose man toys are fun have you got the little hot wheels from the that's the snake mountain hot wheel set yeah and the patches [00:10:56] Speaker 4: oh you got a lid to a slime can in there he's got a can out there when that needs a lid yeah [00:11:03] Speaker 2: is that natasha wearing one of the fantastic fashions oh wow no that's great that's a great way to the seller uh shower power catcher yeah that's i don't have that one [00:11:21] Speaker 4: i think it just it's just her squirter she doesn't have because i took that off because i needed it [00:11:25] Speaker 2: because you needed it for years yeah that makes sense we do it ah so this table has got some of those she-ra figures that i definitely need in order to fill in some gaps in my collection but these are some of those later in the line more expensive she-ra figures very tempting but just down the way like at the table over i spot another she-ra item that i would also really like to add to my collection this one is a silver storm [00:11:58] Speaker 4: which i do not have i've never seen [00:12:04] Speaker 2: 35 is pretty great okay i might have found something okay time out time out because this silver storm was not in fact 35 dollars it was 350 and i felt so dumb when i tried to hand the dealer 40 to buy this thing and he told me what the actual price was i mean in my defense the bridle on that horse did a really good job of hiding that zero i can't believe i didn't notice it but at the same time i know that silver storm is a harder to get figure i i know that it's probably usually a more expensive one i don't know why i didn't really think about it i was like 35 is great i'm gonna get this when he said 350 it it made a lot of sense i i totally got it i mean i didn't get it no silver storm for me today i've just touched them just never touched yeah [00:12:58] Speaker 4: that's amazing pristine loose figures and the cloth was sealed you said right so this one that one is still sealed okay oh that's nice [00:13:11] Speaker 2: wow that one's got a nice clear bubble on it too [00:13:20] Speaker 4: dillard's price somewhere but i mean you know the dillard's price tag on there oh that is sweet [00:13:34] Speaker 2: that is wild and these all came from one collection you said that's cool these are awesome oh and you got spike ore and snout spout down here too dude look at all of these animated iron man figures with the venture price tags baby i bought so many toys from venture my mom worked at venture it's pretty that's nostalgic for me that is cool actually i love this that is so cool pick me phone it is the most unique telephone it says so right there [00:14:31] Speaker 4: all right [00:14:35] Speaker 2: this is i love finding these though i know they're just so fun to look at it's about that time of year too i always love digging these out around christmas time starting to dig through them yeah yeah i should really write down which ones i have so [00:14:50] Speaker 3: i don't keep buying them and giving them to you i mean you can keep doing that if you want to keep [00:14:55] Speaker 2: giving them to me all right and 30 we'll do 30 on this all right okay i'm gonna i'm gonna grab that that's cool you can buy a little star wars uh oh you like a lampshade find like a star wars lampshade that would be cool that is cool i was sitting at it looks like he's chilling in a chair like he's lounging so this i [00:15:29] Speaker 5: found this and i was like where's the rest of the layer yeah where's the rest of the cat's layer i found a lot you know i threw them in here the battery cover is always missing on it right [00:15:37] Speaker 2: yeah so i was like that's still pretty cool yeah no that's a great display piece [00:15:44] Speaker 5: just have the topper huh you don't have the top the i emailed um or tried to contact froggy yeah and said hey man where do i find the keys and he's like good luck yeah good luck yeah for sure he's like if you find one it's going to be a glorious day how did you find this was it like a random goodwill uh goodwill bin wow we're at an outlet oh that is cool probably the only one in the place that is awesome good finds this was a goodwill too that was uh uh the accessories oh okay yeah repro [00:16:21] Speaker 2: accessories but the figure that's like the dream man finding this stuff that's awesome and uh it's insane man you never know it's still out there all right so after walking around the show with my buds we saw a lot of cool things but before we left i wanted to go back and look at those shira figures one more time ah there she is beauty beauty that is a cool one and just missing the little sweet water squirt thing uh that's so cool yeah because i just got i just got scratching sounds shira like earlier this year yeah yeah all right she's scratching sound catra that's pretty i've looked at the whole place i guess i should probably just buy something that i actually need from my collection which is cool i do like that i love that you have than that's hasa with the the fantastic fashion though too oh yeah it's 250 firm on her [00:17:52] Speaker 4: i'll take it off you know i'm like [00:18:00] Speaker 2: throwing a toss and we'll get real crazy we'll get real cool what what would you do with both of them [00:18:04] Speaker 4: together let's see what i got 125 you got 125 on that toss [00:18:12] Speaker 2: do three and a quarter oh three and a quarter okay i'll do three and a quarter for those i'll take them both i'll take them both let's go buy expensive shira toys yeah now we're gonna go get that horse for 35 that's the next step 35 horse buy money [00:18:37] Speaker 4: hello happiness [00:18:40] Speaker 2: this is what the money is for that's right [00:18:43] Speaker 3: you always make more money we can always get more we can always get more money [00:18:46] Speaker 2: yeah we don't know how to make these yeah let's go get that 40 horse all right let's go [00:18:57] Speaker 4: oh that's it dave can i borrow three hundred dollars [00:19:09] Speaker 2: yeah okay i bought them i got myself two brand new shira figures to add to the collection i got shower power catra which hilarious name yes but she's a beautiful looking version of catra and this figure comes with almost everything the only thing she's missing is the reason she's called shower power catra it's the little squirt weapon that she would have come with so it's unfortunate that she's missing that but the rest of the accessories are here she's got the tail and the skirt piece and the mask she looks awesome i'm really happy to be adding this particular version of catra to the collection and as a bonus i got this natasa figure that was wearing one of the fantastic fashions so natasa funny thing about this i have a carded natasa in my collection but i didn't have a loose natasa it's weird how that happens sometimes and this would be nice if it actually had her correct cape because that's the net that's in the name natasa it's her actual feature but the fact that she's paired with like the headdress from one of the other fantastic fashions i think it's called like uh blue secret or secret and blue or something like that it's missing the skirt piece it's just the headdress but i thought that was a clever way even the figure by itself is an expensive one and i got a good bundle deal so i feel pretty good about this random decision to go toy hunting good day
