Toy Hunters was a reality television show that aired on the Travel Channel between 2012 and 2014. Starring Jordan Hembrough as himself, the show followed his adventures as he travelled the country searching for rare and valuable toys to add to his collection or to sell to collectors around the world.

Each episode of Toy Hunters focused on a specific theme, such as action figures from the 1980s or Star Wars toys from the 1970s. Jordan would visit flea markets, toy stores, and private collections to find the most sought-after items in each category. He would negotiate with sellers and barter with collectors, using his expertise and passion for toys to get the best deal possible.

As he hunted for rare toys, Jordan shared his knowledge with the audience. He explained the history behind each item and why it was valuable to collectors. He also demonstrated his impressive memory, recalling details about specific toys and brands that most people would struggle to remember.

One of the most exciting aspects of the show was watching Jordan discover rare and valuable toys hiding in plain sight. He would often find items that were mislabeled or undervalued by their sellers, allowing him to purchase them for a fraction of their true worth. This made for some thrilling moments, as Jordan raced against the clock to snatch up the toys before anyone else realized their true value.

Toy Hunters also featured interviews with other collectors and experts in the field. Jordan would often visit these individuals to see their collections and learn from them. These segments added depth to the show, as viewers got a glimpse into the broader community of toy collectors and the passion they shared for their hobby.

Throughout the series, Jordan's affable personality and love for toys shone through. He was always excited to find a new addition to his collection or share his knowledge with fellow enthusiasts. His enthusiasm was infectious, and it was easy to see why he had such a dedicated following of fans and collectors.

In addition to the excitement of hunting for rare toys, Toy Hunters also had a strong nostalgic element. Many of the toys featured on the show were ones that viewers would have grown up playing with, and seeing them again was a trip down memory lane. Jordan's commentary on each item was often tinged with fondness and nostalgia, making the show appealing to adults who wanted to relive their childhoods.

Overall, Toy Hunters was an engaging and entertaining show that appealed to both viewers interested in toy collecting and those simply looking for a fun and nostalgic trip down memory lane. Jordan Hembrough's expert knowledge and passion for toys made him a charismatic host, and his adventures across the country were always exciting to watch. The show may no longer be on the air, but it remains a beloved cult classic for many toy collectors and TV fans.
