Hi everybody!

To give a little back history on the Pitch Turtle, Playmates came to us in 86 I believe and wanted us to sculpt a turtle based off the comics that would be more child friendly than the comics were.
Steve sculpted Pitch Turtle Don with the orange head band because this was still the time when the turtles all had the same colored head band.

Pitch Turtle Don with the orange head band is the holy grail piece which we have, one of one. Four more were made off the mold of the Don Pitch Turtle and sent to Toy Fair in 87 to show off the potential of the line, these were the Toy Fair Turtles. Those four that were sent to Toy Fair in 87 had different colored headbands which Playmates came up with to tell them apart by.

Also for all you collectors out there, if you see a hardcopy for sale that's white as a piece of paper, that's a copy casting and fake. Copy Casting is when you make a mold off an original hardcopy. There are some people out there that got ahold of a few hardcopies and made molds of them and are ripping people off passing them off as real when they're not. The resin turns that yellow/brown look over decades. If anyone's interested in learning more or have any questions feel free to follow us over on instagram @varnerstudios

My mom got me the alien toy when the movie first came out I was eight years old Rest In Peace mom

[archmage]

The Kenner alien wasn't banned and Alien isn't PG13, it is rated R. It just didn't sell well and was pulled after poor sales and angry parents.

When I was a kid Ghostbusters 2 came out and that Christmas not only did I get the fire house play set and the figures, ghosts and Ecto 1 car but my dad actually bought 130 pots of ghostbusters slime from toys r us and used plumbing parts to build a river of slime as a play set.
I will never forget that Christmas morning and I was so happy Santa had brought me this one of one play set.

[Rattys]

I had Eternia, Snake Mountain, and Castle Greyskull connected together. My mother sold it at a yard sale. I'm sure I will forgive her one day. Maybe.

[elvisofthedead]

Oh man. I’m mainly a video game collector and “had I known then what I know now” is the story of my life. I feel your pain

[NocturnalPLUR]

I have the Gre-gory bat. My dad made something so it would hang upside down in my room when I was a kid. It works perfect with the blood pumping down the the chest

[TOKYOTOYBANZAI]

For the longest time my holy grail was the very first non-kit Godzilla vinyl toy made by Marusan in 1966. Finally acquired one last year, but Bryan Flynn of Super 7 recently flaunted his collection of special color variants of them.... so now a new quest has begun!

[mattm]

Your passion for these vintage toys is awesome. I grew up in the 80s loved every minute of it would love to go back. Need to crank up the flex capacitor! Thanks for some great content.

When the first Stars movie came out in the 70's I instantly fell in love with the Wookie Chewbacca. We were very poor then and my mother got a grant type thing for children in need where she could go to a huge warehouse to toy shop for us 3 kids in my family. I being the oldest was able to come along so if she needed help I was there. I was offered a toy of my choice to keep quiet about all this to the younger two. Not to be included as a Christmas present. I looked all around and came upon a 2 foot stuffed toy of Chewbacca. It was awesome. Even had his utility belt in gray and black plastic across his body. I slept with him for years then we moved and he was gone. I would do almost anything for a almost new like original one. That is my grail.

Finally someone else that acknowledges Dino-Riders💪...As a kid I watched my vhs so much it quit working

[clown]

Scratch the cat. That goddamn TMNT Holy Grail will haunt my dreams forever. Is almost Impossible have it at human prices... heck even the weapons alone are almost But one day... one day.... a man can dream.... Saw his proto on ebay at 80, 000$ and i was ohh. Oh."

[bigstve]

My buddy has the shogun godzilla complete. His dad was cleaning the attic, found it and gave it back to my buddy. He now displays it next to his TV

[tommymccown]

I had the Godzilla Toys back in the late 70’s “”. And I loved playing with them!!!! God bless you all today Shalom

[Bart]

I’m a true M.A.S.K. fan and 3 years ago I finaly find the Thunderhawk again. Now I would love to find the Manta and Condor again. Because I had them when I was a child. But my holy grails in that toys line would be the Rhino and Switchblade.

[subzero]

The 3 things I wanted but never got was the G.I. Joe Dreadnoks Thunder Machine, the COBRA Night Raven, and the Knight Rider electronic K.I.T.T. car which talked and lit up. All of these toys were Badass!

[Madhatter]

The GIJoe aircraft carrier U.S.S Flagg was the most sought after toy when I was a kid.

[DCeasedbrickbuilds]

Born in 74. Had Some of these. Definitely wish I still had them. Not for the value, but, the nostalgia...The trash piles all over the United States are actually worth millions if you think of what we all tossed in there. Toys, comics, cards, and on and on...

[reddirtredbeard]

My holy grail would be the Bart Simpson doll released in Arby's kids meals in 1990.

[jamesr-lcyh]

Finding recalled toys is really awesome. I also collect toys that were to Dangerous for kids. Mostly 60's, 70's, 80's toys. It's an expensive hobby, but well worth it.
