The Shaq Toy Mystery: Collecting Steel and 90s Hasbro His...

What this episode covers

From the notorious 4% Rotten Tomatoes "Steel" movie toys to the hidden history of Remco’s legal battles with Mattel, we’re diving deep into the weirdest corners of the 90s toy aisle. We breakdown why John is hunting for Shaquille O'Neal’s John Henry Irons, the mystery of the "missing" Sinbad genie movie, and the insane $300 price tag on a carded Warrior Beast. Whether it’s a vintage Star Wars Sigma mug Win or a yellowed blister pack Wiff, this episode is a nostalgia-fueled journey through the lines that time (and most collectors) forgot.🚨📞 Call our FITT Voicemail Line to leave a comment, question, or suggestion: 732-800-197700:00 - Missing idiots and cruise ship rumors02:40 - The "Chicken Nuggets" soccer victory04:12 - Lacrosse sticks and "stubble" mustache opponents06:10 - Becoming accidental Arsenal soccer fans09:42 - Why John needs to change his hat11:00 - The Shaq "Steel" toy line: A 4% masterpiece12:45 - The Death of Superman and the $0.00 comic investment14:40 - Why 90s companies turned everything into a toy16:30 - The Princess Leia Sigma mug: Win or Wiff?18:40 - $300 Warrior Beasts: The Remco vs. Mattel rivalry21:50 - Collecting in the 80s drugstore aisles23:45 - Star Wars stamps and the postage value trap25:15 - Brandon crashes the episode at the buzzer#ToyCollecting #90sToys #StarWars #SteelMovie #ActionFigures #Remco #Hasbro #FiveIdiotsTalkingToys #FITT #WinsAndWiffs #Shaq #Superman #VintageToys #WarriorBeast----------------------🫶 Support our #podcast through Patreon, and get early access to #toycollection previews, exclusive #starwarsactionfigures video content like Rated-R collector episodes AKA "Five Idiots After Dark" & our regular episodes before the public:https://patreon.com/FiveIdiotsTalkingToys👍🏼 Follow us on social media!
