    Raymond Castile AHI Monster video

    Monster collector Ray Castille has launched a series of videos digging through boxes of his monster collection. These are very impromptu and loose, but a lot of fun. He has one spotlighting the AHI Monsters. I know he's posted links to these on the Pod Stallions group, but I thought I'd share it here, since I enjoyed it over my lunch break!

    Not that I'm right, but I thought it was A.H.I (saying the letters) not AHI.

      "A-hi" threw me, too but that is some of the loveliest stuff I've ever seen and I'm not even a great AHI fan.

      I felt that way last year, too when I saw a NM-on-purple card Aquaman. It's a rush to see something so old and yet so pristine.

      It's a great video and he has a stunning collection.

        And all basements should be paneled like that .

        There's a moment at the end where Raymond is reminiscing about his childhood Creature and his voice breaks with emotion, you can see him reliving those memories. That really touched me--I bet we all have had experiences like that and those feelings draw us here and together.

          I agree, absolutely why I'm here and why I collect toys.

            Yeah, you are correct, it's stands for Azrak Hamway International, but some people like to pronounce acronyms like words if they can. But "A-hi" sounds a bit awkward to me.

            Dude has an amazing monster collection though, jealous!

              I've always said "A-HI," too. RC's videos are a real hoot. His titles make it very difficult to find them in a search for the topic he covers...but whatever. I don't know why he wraps those acrylic encased beauties in cheapo plastic bags, but...again...whatever. His vid on the Lincoln/Tomland figures is a must watch!
