About this episode
Are you interested in vintage toy lines from the 1980s and 1990s that failed to hold their value for collectors? This podcast episode dives into specific lines that are considered "worthless" not because they are poorly made, but strictly from the standpoint that they do not sell. We provide expert analysis on numerous movie tie-in toys that tanked, such as figures from Stargate, where a pristine carded figure might only yield $20, along with disappointing lines for Congo and Water World. The discussion also covers cartoon and video game lines like the poorly articulated G.I. Joe Extreme, Double Dragon, and the heavily reused Robin Hood movie figures. Whether you are a dealer or a YouTube toy collector hunting for knowledge on forgotten lines like Cadillacs and Dinosaurs, Spiral Zone, or Superhuman Samurai Cyber Squad, tune in to understand why these highly publicized lines ultimately did not succeed in the secondary market.#toys #toycollector #toystore WATCH and SUBSCRIBE to Our Other Channels and Socials!*Main YouTube Channel: youtube.com/@toyfederation*Toy Federation Facebook: facebook.com/ToyFederationShop*Toy Federation Instagram: instagram.com/ToyFederationShop/BUY TICKETS for our UPCOMING TOY FEDERATION CONVENTIONS!*Our Horror Convention September 11-13, 2026: Retro-Horrorcon.com*Our Toy Convention November 20-22, 2026: Retro-Toycon.comTOY FEDERATION PODCAST ALSO AVAILABLE AT:*Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/mwuw3mtv*Apple Podcast: https://tinyurl.com/3pnbsyzf*Amazon Music: https://tinyurl.com/2bxsvccjWATCH EVERY EPISODE of the Toy Federation Podcast in one convenient PLAYLIST!https://tinyurl.com/3ds8yr36BUY Toy Federation MERCH!http://www.teepublic.com/user/toy-federationCOME OUT and VISIT OUR SHOP in Person! 104 Middleton Way, Greer, SC 29650Monday 10 AM–7 PMTuesday 10 AM–7 PMWednesday 10 AM–7 PMThursday 10 AM–7 PMFriday 10 AM–7 PMSaturday 10 AM–8 PMSunday Closed
