Zoloworld Legends of Darkness Vampire and Death Unboxing and Review


Hello everyone! This week we're looking at the Vampire and Death 5.5 MOTU style action figures, from Zoloworld's "Legends of Darkness" line. These are modern mass produced figures for the adult collector made in a vintage style, as homages to Remco's classic lines such as Warrior Beasts. These in particular are homages to the obscure "Speclatron" line which nowadays go for thousands of dollars.

When I say that I'm not kidding. Go to Ebay and look up "Speclatron" and you'll see the ridiculous prices the vintage figures sell for. These are a much more affordable alternative, and are worth owning in their own right.

Troll Force "Machine Man" MOTU Knock-Off Unboxing and Restoration


Hello folks! So I got my mitts on a "Machine Man" figure from the Troll Force action figure line (we looked at the "Green Yuk" and "Black Ninja" from this line in a previous video.) Troll Force was a knock-off of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. Specifically, it uses parts from a different knock-off line called "Galaxy Warriors," (so this is a knock-off of a knock-off.) So we'll do an unboxing and a little bit of restoration on this one as the hair is completely shot. I'm not really too much into collecting knock-off/bootleg figures like this, but they can be pretty cool sometimes.

Masters of the WWE Universe Unboxing and Review

Hello everyone, for you fans of WWE wrestling or Masters of the Universe, here is my review of the Masters of the WWE Universe 5.5 inch figures. These are a pretty cool mashup of wrestling and MOTU. I'm a massively huge fan of Masters of the Universe (not so much wrestling, but I can appreciate it.) Apparently these are a sort of test run for the MOTU origins figures that are going to be released later this year. Anyway these took a bit by surprise as I had no idea these were even a thing. The figures look great, balance well, and a filled with little homages and callbacks to the vintage He-man figures I grew up with. If you're into this sort of thing I recommend picking them up now, as their value is already starting to go up on the secondary market.

Marvel Legends 80th Anv. Hulk vs. Wolverine 2-Pack Unboxing and Review - UCD Videos



So I got this one for Christmas and I've been hanging onto it until I had time to make an unboxing video. The main reason I wanted this one is for the Hulk, which is done is the style of Sal Buscema, who was the artist on the Hulk for over a decade (and still the best imo.) The head sculpt is spot on. There haven't been very many comic accurate figures of the Hulk recently, most of them are patterned after the movies. Which is great and everything, but they look like Mark Ruffalo. I don't want Mark Ruffalo on my shelf, I want the Hulk.

Anyway, this set is already starting to go up in price, so grab it while you can.

Accoutrements Bendy Monsters - Bendy Figure Review


Hi everyone. Today I'm reviewing some weird old bendy toys from a company called Accoutrements, which is either the same thing as or in business with Archie McPhee. (Archie McPhee is a company that puts out those weird horse masks that were popular a few years ago, along with the usual novelty gags like rubber chickens, whoopie cushions, bacon flavored mints, and so on.) Anyway this is a set that I completed a little while ago, and while this kind of thing isn't really worth much they are pretty hard to find. I've always loved strange vintage toys like this.

"Terror Toad" TMNT knock-off toy review


So I don't usually go for these types of knock-off toys, but they can be interesting sometimes. I'll pick them up if I see them. This particular one is famous in collector circles for having very little resemblance to the thing that it's knocking off.
