What's up, y'all?
I'm hanging out with pop culture expert
and, yes, Marvel toy hunter extraordinaire,
Jordan Hembrough.
Jordan, how are you, my friend?
I am doing well, thank you.
Now, we are celebrating Marvel's 80th anniversary here.
We are.
And we're talking about the '80s this month,
and you have delivered and then with some incredible
'80s toys and collectibles.
Get ready to have your mind blown.
I am ready.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
I brought in some Marvel Secret Wars.
These were done by Mattel.
Yes!
In the 1980s.
You were an '80s child, yes?
I was born in '85.
'85.
I grew up being aware of these because other people had them,
and I did not because I was a child.
You've got Falcon.
You've got Daredevil.
I love these.
This is Spider-Man in his black uniform, and of course,
you've got classic Spider-Man.
Oh, my goodness.
One thing I wanted to buy are these like secret shields.
The shields were really innovative for the time,
because what they did is they used something called
lenticular technology, and that's really when you see
these images kind of transform back
and forth as you move the toy.
They're actually more collectible than the action
figures.
So the figures, great.
Secret shields-- - The shield.
You have a secret shield.
Hold onto it tightly. - Save it!
Keep it a secret.
Don't tell anybody.
Exactly.

I love stuff that's sort of like on the fringe
of the toy industry.
It's NeatO's!
OK, OK.
So this I've never seen before.
These are hangers for children's rooms,
and what they did is they encouraged kids to basically
pick up their clothes.
OK, I'm doing something special.
I'm opening a sealed box.
Are you serious?
Yeah, I'm going to open the box for you guys.
Is like a lost soul going to come out?
Could be, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, my God, I'm so excited!
They're brand new to me, too.
So you would take these stickers,
and you put them on your hanger.
And you'd hang them up in your closet and everything
like that, which was really, really cool.
Jordan, I'll be honest.
Never in my lifetime did I ever think
I'd be excited about hangers.
I don't want to put the sticker.
I just want to put the stickers on everything.
- On everything. - Including the hangars.
All right, I'll see if I get extra ones for you.
There we go.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
This is a staple going back all the way the 1960s.
We have Hot Wheels.
I love it.
What happened was essentially Marvel joined up with Mattel,
and they said, look, we're going to make
a line of limited edition Hot Wheels cars, and they did it.
This is from 1980s.
This is Iron Man.
This actually had a very unique feature on it.
And if you look on the back, you can see how the rear wheels are
sort of lifted up a little bit.
OK, that was back in the 1970s and '80s
when everyone was like hijacking their cars in the back.
They wanted that little hot rod stance
and everything like that.
So Hot Wheels said, you know what?
We're going to build a mechanism into this toy that's
going to allow you to raise and lower the car
and really give it a really cool look.
That's good.
And of course, if anyone has a cool looking car,
it's going to be Tony Stark.
It also makes sense because he would
need like the extras space.
The Hulk sits in the back.
That's right.
It's like--
Ba-boom, ba-boom, ba-boom.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
From 1980, this is Spider-Man's Aim And Shoot, OK?
So what this is, this is actually Spider-Man
as if he was helping Captain America and the Hulk
go on a secret mission, but he's piloting a plane,
and he's dropping them with parachutes.
This is my favorite narrative for a toy that I've ever heard.
Oh, my goodness.
That's Spider-Man's plane.
And he got his pilot's license at some point.
Right inside of here is a sight and a scope,
and you would look through the scope.
And when you're over the target, you'd release that,
and your little man would go whoo!
And he would land safely on the target.
OK, one, two--
Oh!
That was close.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Jordan, this has been such a great time
seeing all these incredible collectibles and toys.
Where can we find out more about you
and everything you're up to?

Thank you for hanging out with us.
I think I'm just going to hang out
with this little Spider-Man--
Sure, absolutely.
--some more.
