The Five Idiots are back with a Holiday MAYHEM special! 🎄🎁 Lord Walden (John) has planned an affair, a jamboree, a jubilee... about the nine most chaotic toys in history! We're talking absolute holiday anarchy, both in the toy aisles and in our homes.We look back at the biggest Christmas crazes that had parents getting trampled, reporters doing insane stunts, and toys getting straight-up banned. From the interactive pets that took over classrooms and the secondhand market, to the dolls that nearly caused riots, to the toys that literally caught on fire—nothing is safe from the Five Idiots discussion.Grab a seat (and maybe a helmet) and find out which toys caused the most chaos!0:00 - Welcome to Holiday Mayhem!

It's time for Wins and Wiffs of the Week! Brandon checks in from Hawaii, but can't find any toy shops. Chris and John show off some hot collectibles, including an awesome GI Joe lunchbox and the new Marvel Legends X-Men '97 Cable figure.The conversation quickly heats up as the Idiots notice a huge drop-off in YouTube comments and try to figure out what the audience really wants to talk about (Spoiler: It's all about vintage toys and grading!). John also dives into why the new X-Men '97 figures are already tanking in value and unleashes a hilarious rant about a trip to GameStop after 27 years.Don't forget to stick around for the end where Charles issues a public challenge to any viewer who wants to screw up his workflow!0:00:00 - FITT Intro0:01:06 - Aloha from Hawaii: Brandon's Win (No Toy Shops!)0:06:33 - Lego Star Wars: Collecting All 1600 Minifigures0:08:49 - Vintage Lunch Box Win: GI Joe with Thermos0:10:48 - Why Our YouTube Comments Vanished (Despite High Views)0:12:08 - John's Marvel Legends X-Men '97 Cable0:13:06 - Why Are X-Men '97 Figures Tanking in Value?0:14:00 - Our Wild GameStop Employee Rant0:16:56 - Wiff of the Week: Charles's Still Missing Accessories0:17:33 - The Comment Challenge: Charles Needs Your Hate!#XMen97 #MarvelLegends #LegoStarWars #GIJoe #XMen #PodcastRant #GameStop #ToyCollecting #WinsAndWiffs #ToyHunting #FITT #Marvel #actionfigures -----------------------🫶 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!
