Toy Hunters (TV programme)

[victorbrunswick]

I was just watching "Toy Hunters." While I find the programme to be completely bogus, it is, nonetheless, a veritable droolfest of '70s and '80s toys. In this, the pilot episode, the presenter travels to Cincinnati, Ohio, where Kenner Toys was based and is home to many of its former employees, some of whom designed the toys.

Hi just saw your post - I recently caught an episode of this (by accident, didnt know it existed!) and loved looking round the different places/buildings at the toys some people had collected !! Some memories coming back . But I also love looking at the catalogue pages on here - gives me the same feeling !! lol

I have seen it, it was OK, but like all of these "fly on the wall" type shows, totally set up.

Re: Toy Hunters (TV programme)

my problem with it was the same eps over and over.

quest showed quite a few episodes of it recently,trouble is its all 'hand me downs' from channels like nat geo or history or sky 1,ie old episodes that they saw like 2 years ago or something-channels in other words you have to pay for,not freeview stuff!
