00:09He's here with the best.
00:11Hi, Steve.
00:12Hello, yes, and we've just changed the background music
00:14to be a little bit more appropriate.
00:16I am definitely more kid than I am adult,

00:27So I've got all kinds of products I'm going to show you,
00:29and something that's going to get you definitely dancing
00:31a jig, but we're going to be talking about Jaws.
00:34Oh, you love Jaws.
00:36Absolutely love it.
00:37I absolutely love you.
00:37I'll tell you the crazy thing, Steve,
00:39is that Stranger Things feels retro.
00:41Yeah.
00:42Actually, how long has it been going on for?
00:43Ten years since it came on.
00:45Ten years short, Steve.
00:46Ten years.
00:47Ten years.
00:48That's unbelievable.
00:48Can you believe it?
00:49I watched the first series, and I never watched the rest.
00:52I need to go back.
00:52I've only watched one series, and I loved it.
00:55Okay, can you tell me what year was Jaws' first come out?

01:58but as the brands get older,
02:00so do the original fans.
02:02So the kid-old market,

03:46One day.
03:46One day I will.
03:47You should.
03:48So many big, so many big anniversaries
03:51from so many big brands.
03:52And as the brands get older,
03:53the fans, the original ones, they get older too.
03:55So this is the Kidult market.
03:57Yeah.
03:57But there are new young people
03:57finding these every day as well.
03:59So we're going to begin with Winnie the Pooh
04:01is celebrating 100 years.
04:03So the first book, A.M.L.'s book,
04:05came out in 1926.
04:07Isn't that incredible?
04:08So they're so great.
04:09So well, they're made.
04:09Oh, just so well.
04:11And it's such a big, big brand.
04:12So these are the plushies.
04:13These are the 100 plushies.
04:14So we've got to look at Pooh.
04:15It feels so nice.
04:17And they're so lovely.
04:17So 100 years, £14.99 for each one of them.
04:21I'd be tempted to buy one
04:22and keep it wrapped somewhere.
04:24Yeah, leave it in the box or something like that.
04:25It's a big anniversary.
04:27And it's just, yeah.
04:28I mean, who doesn't love Winnie the Pooh?
04:29No.
04:30Who doesn't love that?
04:30Not one person out there.
04:31Now, the 90s feels to me
04:34like it wasn't that long ago.
04:35Pokemon!
04:35But it is.
04:36It is.
04:37So Pokemon celebrating a huge 30 years,

04:43Still massive now.
04:45People still going and they're trading
04:46and they're also playing the actual game
04:48and battling each other.
04:49It's still a really, really big thing.
04:50How do you know when you've got a really good card?
04:52If you know, you know.
04:53If you know, you know.
04:54There are apps.
04:55There are apps you can use
04:56that will rate and grade
04:57and also will tell you what your card is worth
04:59currently.
04:59Okay.
05:00It's really, really good.
05:01So they've got loads coming out.
05:02They've got a 30th anniversary collection.
05:04So there's all sorts.
05:05This is Pikachu holding a Pokeball

09:08Now, that was the must-
09:09Toy Story.
09:09That was the must-have toy
09:10in 2016.
09:12And of course, in 1996,
09:13the must-have toy
09:13was Buzz Lightyear at the dot.
09:15Yes.
09:15Everyone wanted it.
09:16Amazingly, big brands
09:17like Hasbro and Mattel
09:18turned it down.
09:19What the hell?
09:19I know.
09:20Yeah, so anyway,
09:21the toy company
09:22that produced them
09:23made a lot of money
09:24and the Buzz
09:25was like the toy to have.
09:26And now you can buy
09:27new versions
09:27because the new movie

09:36In the show, Steve Wilson.
09:37I Knew I Knew You
09:38is the songwriter
09:39because she's done
09:40the soundtrack.
09:40But these are called
09:42Interactables
09:42and they,
09:43if you press them,
09:43if you listen,
09:47so they will actually
09:49react to one another.
09:51Ah.
09:54It's so cool.
09:56So if you've got them all,
09:56they're all taught
09:57to each other.
09:57It's so brilliant.
09:58And they're 1999.
09:59I love these films.
10:00No, that's cool.
10:00I know.
10:01That is really cool.
10:02And Toy Story is 30 years old.
10:04Isn't that amazing?
10:04Oh, no.
10:051996.
10:06Such a great film.
10:06Such a great film.

10:14So Funko Pop,
10:15really, really great.
10:16They start at 13 quid.
10:17I've got to move you on
10:18to your favourite movie.
10:20I actually went to...
10:21Your favourite movie, right?
10:22Favourite movie of all time.
10:23You actually,
10:23did you actually go
10:24and see where this was made?
10:26Jaws.
10:27Yeah.
10:27No.
10:27Oh, did you not?
10:28I thought you did not.
10:28Yeah, we're going to.
10:29You should have.
10:30Yeah.
10:30Well, we can go on better than that.
10:31We can actually look at
10:32a toy made by Tubbs.
10:34These are really lovely.
10:35These are the collectible
10:36little bath
10:37rubber ducks.
10:38This is Orca,
10:39the boat, right?
10:41All the colourways,
10:42everything,
10:42are perfect.
10:43Look at the characters.
10:44So that's...
10:44That's Quint.
10:45That's Brodie.
10:46That's Chief Brodie.
10:46Look, just there.
10:47You've got...
10:48That's Hooper.
10:48Hooper.
10:49That's right.
10:49Hooper drives around.
10:51Oh, look at him.
10:51Look, and you've got Quint there.
10:53Yeah, that's Quint.
10:54That's Quint.
10:54That's very clever.
10:56This is highly collectible.
10:57The packaging is beautiful.
10:59It's 99.99.
11:00This is definitely
11:01for the collector market.
11:02It's only 20 pounds?
11:0399.99.
11:04Oh, I'm going to say
11:0599.99.
11:06I'll take 10.
11:07That is unbelievable.
11:08And of course,
11:08look, there's Bruce.
11:09There's Bruce,
11:10the shark.
11:10The shark.
11:11The poor little duck
11:13inside just there.
11:14How much do you want that,
11:15down there?
11:15A lot.
11:16Down there, Holmes.
11:17Please.
11:18What's great is that
11:19the ducks fit into this boat
11:21perfectly,
11:21so they don't need
11:22a bigger boat.
11:23Do you know what I'm saying?
11:25No, you can't.
11:26No, you can't.
11:27What?
11:28They've got the cat's
11:29cat.
11:29That's crazy.
11:31And an amazing fact,
11:32apart from the fact
11:33that it's 50 years,
11:34it's in its 50th year now,
11:35the movie came out in 1975.
11:36It's still celebrating 50 years.
11:38Is that Bruce was
11:40what they nicknamed
11:41the mechanical shark
11:41in the movie,
11:42but they tested it
11:44in fresh water
11:45and when they came
11:45to film with it
11:46in salt water,
11:47it kept malfunctioning.
11:48It worked,
11:48did it, yeah.
11:49So in the end,
11:50it nearly shut down
11:50the whole movie.
11:51They don't know what to do.
11:51That's why these
11:52came into play.
11:53Because it was all
11:54about what you didn't see.
11:56Except Spill
11:56wouldn't use the barrels.
11:58Yeah, but also,
11:59these two,
11:59in real life,
12:00didn't these two
12:01not get on?
12:02Well, they clashed,
12:02which is when,
12:03remember we had
12:04Robert Shaw's son,
12:05Ian Shaw.
12:06They would fight
12:07each other.
12:07He's written a play
12:09called The Sharky's
12:10Yeah.
12:11Oh, we would fight
12:12each other.
12:12Hey, guys,
12:13no, cut it out,
12:14cut it out.
12:14Hey, no,
12:15we're on this together.
12:16So the fact you couldn't
12:18see the shark
12:18made it more sustainable.
12:19Yes, it's so good.
12:20We're going to go back
12:21to the 90s again now.
12:22So, believe it or not,
12:2430 years old
12:24is the Tamagotchi.
12:26I remember those.
12:27We all had them.
12:28We had to feed them.
12:29We all wanted them.
12:30Yes, absolutely.
12:30And if you went somewhere
12:31and you give it to someone else,
12:32please look after me.
12:34Don't keep it going.
12:35You have to feed it.
12:36Yeah, that's right.
12:37So you can feed it,
12:37take it to the toilet.
12:38You can actually get
12:39the Gen 1.
12:40This is the original.
12:41So you can get
12:41the reproduction of that
12:42now for $19.99
12:43plus ones which are
12:44called Connection 1s
12:45which actually will
12:46react to one another.
12:47They're so brilliant.
12:48Yeah, $19.99.
12:49It's like having a pet.
12:50And they do Casetify.
12:51Casetify do some really
12:53cool branded Pokemon
12:55phone cases as well.
12:56And with every purchase
