[RSS]

[COLOR=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)]This is our follow up to our 70s peg warmers list. The 1980s were an incredible time for action figures, an era we'll never see again but like anything, some items didn't really sell. Let's count down some toys that hung around.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)]This list is meant in jest and not to be taken seriously. Tell me what i missed in the comments.

Pretty good list. The only one I would disagree with is Bob the Goon. Batman was sold out after the movie hit , but they quickly made way too many. I dont remember seeing Bob from 1991 onward.

One of your best videos yet. Great list, and great presentation as well. Loved it!

I think this was written one of your best written videos. You really embraced the bad jokes, making them funny! Why is Isaac upset? He gets tons of work these in Toy Ventures videos.

I was surprised you didn't splice in a clip from the Lion King when talking about Darkseid or call this one "1980's Leg Warmers... uhr, um... I mean Peg Warmers."



I'll leave the jokes to the professionals... or the guy who doesn't get paid for this but does it way bettter at it

Aw jeez, where were you in the writing room?

F.L.U.F.F.I. wasn't the only peg warmer from Bionic Six. I remember seeing all of the figures just sitting on the pegs at places like Family Dollar. Baron Zemo was another peg warmer from Secret Wars. So was Wolverine. Saw him sitting in JC Penney's for what seemed like forever.

Truly enjoyed that video. I was an Asst. Manager for Kaybee Toys in the early 90s. We had nearly all of those in the clearance isle during my 2 year employment. I have no memory of selling a single one.

Yeah there were other characters from all the lines but FLUFFI and especially Kang really stuck out.

It's weird to think of a time when Wolverine was not popular.

Ha! Yeah, when i was in college there was a TRU across the street, this was '92, it had a wall of MOTU and other 80s stuff that people pay big bucks for.

Kang is definitely the king of peg warmers. I also don't doubt SP Darkseid was still on the pegs when the Total Justice figure came out.

1988 Kenner Starting lineup basketball Danny Manning and baseball Mike Scott....still hanging on pegs in the early 2000's

I only ever saw Bob the Goon one time. bought him and he was broken right away. his leg wouldn't stay locked to stand and he was always in the kicked position. my mom returned him and i never got a replacement

[jwyblejr]

I can agree with the Cobra-La figures being a peg warmer. I remember one store went out of business and still no one would touch them.

sadly though, i've recently been considering buying a set of Cobra-la and Slaughter's Marauders. but for being such horrible peg warmers they are too dang expensive

Around $300 now. I bought another carded pegwarmer mentioned Darkseid for around $45 earlier this year.
