Hi guys

My name's Dan and I run an online show called Retro Zone. In my show I look at anything retro, whether it's video games, board games, TV shows etc. In this week's episode I decided to look at little rubber monsters like Monster in my Pocket, Trash Bag Bunch, M.U.S.C.L.E and many more! So I thought I'd post the episode here as I thought you guys would enjoy it. Please give me any feedback on the episode as its the only way I can improve.

Thanks

I didn't mind it.most people on here are knowledgeable on these toys already but good for people who don't know about them.I'm surprised you didn't do battle beasts or laser beasts!
 
I like how you included the commercials!

Always good to see LRG-related videos. Interesting to hear you talk about MUSCLE being more obscure, because here in the U.S. you would see them around much more than MIMP or any of the other lines. 

 

My only suggestion would be to find some Bad Eggz Bunch, do a video on them, and then send them to me. ;)

I like how they use the Monster In My Pocket video game score as background music.

Hi guys

Thanks for checking out the video and thanks for the comments.

@108Kickback the idea was to raise awareness of these brands for people who don't know them. But I thought you guys might appreciate the good word of LRGs being spread. We only wanted to cover toys that we had so we could show them. If this episode proves to be popular maybe a part 2?

@fkro6784 MUSCLE was quite obscure over here in the UK. MIMP was the big brand over here due to all the partnerships with Kellogg's. We wanted to do Bad Eggz but couldn't get the figures in time.

@DaHumorist it was the only music I could think of that would fit. However glad to see you liked that addition to the episode.

Thanks again for watching guys and if you could share the video around on social media and such that would be great!

Yes, I like the idea of spreading the information on these. I didn't mean to come across as arrogant I was just stating that most of us on here know the basic information on these.But anyways like I said I liked it.I would watch again if you did a part 2, I like the vibe of the video!My suggestion if you do a part 2 would be Battle Beasts :).

I think we have both misunderstood each other. I was agreeing with what you said in your comment. God bless misinterpretation! Just chatting to Liam who's in the video with me and he would be up for part 2. As said I want to see how this goes down before I start planning a part 2. Plus the figures suggested so far are quite expensive to get hold of.

Planning to start a Patreon page to help fund the show so I can do expensive episodes and get better equipment. So hopefully that will help too.

One other recommendation would be more Comic Con video's.I watched your London one.I love watching Comic Con Videos, especially since we don't really have Comic Con's here in Canada at least in my area.

Thanks for checking out my other videos. If you watch my Revival video that is covering a retro video game event. It has a similar feel to my Comic Con video. Again that's why I'm thinking of a Patreon page, so I can do more event coverage.
