The king of the monsters was also king of my collection and remains so to this day! From the time I could make conscious choices about my toy collecting needs I immediately gravitated toward this tower of terror!

Yoooo Joe!!It didn’t matter if you did or didn’t collect G.I.Joe, if you were familiar with the toy aisle in the 70s and beyond you know a thing or two about the toyline dedicated to A Real American Hero.

Add in a little PSA to the cartoon and now you know… and knowing is half the battle!As always, we encourage you to join in the conversation and let us know what you think!Twitter - https://twitter.com/2guystalkintoys

I whole-heartedly believe that Imaginext is one of those toylines that adult collectors wish existed when we were kids. Big bold designs, great gimmicks, Imaginext captures all the fun that toys are supposed to be while making the figures themselves so unique that they are definitely collectible.As always, we encourage you to join in the conversation and let us know what you think!Twitter - https://twitter.com/2guystalkintoysYoutube - https://www.youtube.com/@2guystalkintoys

I feel pretty confident in saying that most collectors that came up in the 90s had their fair share of Toybiz figures. From Batman to Spider-Man to Xena, Toybiz really covered a wide spectrum of toys that probably appealed to most of us in some way shape or form. In this episode Tom & Dana discuss their experience collecting Toybiz and its journey from basic 5 POA to its hyper-joint fixation in its later years.As always, we encourage you to join in the conversation and let us know what you think!Twitter - https://twitter.com/2guystalkintoysYoutube - https://www.youtube.com/@2guystalkintoys
