Summary
Highlights
The video introduces a rare 1999 Dexter's Laboratory Subway store display, which is a unique collectible featuring four toys. The display itself is made of plastic, not cardboard, and is smaller than McDonald's displays but still significantly sized. It advertises, 'Create explosive fun! Collect all four toys,' and details the promotion dates: September 23, 1999, to October 31, 1999.
The first toy reviewed is Dee Dee's Launcher. It features Dee Dee on a launch platform and Dexter in a mini rocket ship. The toy works by pressing a button with Dee Dee to launch Dexter's rocket. The reviewer demonstrates the launching mechanism, noting how high and far Dexter's rocket flies.
Next is Dexter's Writing Tablet, a drawing toy with a tethered pen. It features Dexter in front of his computer. Users draw on the tablet, and notes that the pink drawings are much brighter in person than on camera. The tablet is reset by lifting a clear sheet, erasing the drawings.
The third toy is Dexter's Measure, a cloth tape measure with Dexter on a mysterious machine. The tape measures up to 10 inches and features humorous measurements related to brains (Dee Dee's, a monkey's, and Dexter's). The reviewer expresses confusion about the retraction mechanism, as his model requires manual winding of a wheel to retract the tape, leading him to question if it was originally spring-loaded or malfunctioning.
Lastly, the video reviews Dexter's Torpedo Soaker, a water squirter. Dexter is inside the torpedo with flippers visible, and the tail-end propeller acts as a plunger. To use, the user pulls out the propeller while the tip is submerged in water to fill it, then pushes the propeller back in to squirt water.
The video concludes by praising the Dexter's Laboratory Subway set as awesome collectibles, especially the rare plastic store display which is in very good condition for a 25-year-old item. The reviewer reiterates his curiosity about the functionality of Dexter's Measure toy and thanks viewers for watching.
