## Resource

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: 732-800-1977 00:00 - Missing idiots and cruise ship rumors 02:40 - The "Chicken Nuggets" soccer victory 04:12 - Lacrosse sticks and "stubble" mustache opponents 06:10 - Becoming accidental Arsenal soccer fans 09:42 - Why John needs to change his hat 11:00 - The Shaq "Steel" toy line: A 4% masterpiece 12:45 - The Death of Superman and the $0.00 comic investment 14:40 - Why 90s companies turned everything into a toy 16:30 - The Princess Leia Sigma mug: Win or Wiff? 18:40 - $300 Warrior Beasts: The Remco vs. Mattel rivalry 21:50 - Collecting in the 80s drugstore aisles 23:45 - Star Wars stamps and the postage value trap 25:15 - 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…
