Yes, “Toy Hunters” seemed modeled on the success of “American Pickers”, but tended to become a weak imitation. I found it entertaining for a few episodes, but not enough to keep me coming back.
Finding that Johilco chariot at a flea market was really something, just like finding the Marx Lone Ranger character figure. Finding stuff like that teaches you not to give up the hunt — you never know what you’re going to run in to.
Finally, I liked Detlef’s painted Airfix and Atlantic WWII Germans. It’s amazing how painting figures from two different manufacturers in the same colors and styles tends to obscure the differnces, and makes them look completely compatible with each other.
Detlef is a great painter.
Toy Hunter had many problems. The biggest was the people behind it did not know about toys.
I agree every week I see Dethlef paint via mail and FB blogs and he is like a factory machine of deluxe painting ,he uses awesome painting shades and techniques as well repair very damage figures saving then so good.
