But he does get things 3 months before I get to see, so he gets me there.

I watch D on 2x speed just to catch a shot of the figure, the accessories, and the size comparisons. Then I slow it down to 1.25 or 1.5 to look at the pretty pictures at the end.

What I really love is when they start wrenching on all the joints like a frustrated toddler because they can't seem to see where the articulation is supposed to move.

Ham-fisted oafs tugging on limbs and joints like they're manhandling play-doh never fails to make my eye twitch like Chief Inspector Dreyfuss.

 

[Alt]

Yeah at this point that's all. Any of these YouTubers are. I know most of the articulation because I'm already buying these lines. And at least if there is something critically wrong or outdated they will point that out.

Otherwise just show me the detail shots I need to see about the face and the costume and whatever.

You guys are going to hate my review channel where I just rip a figure out of the package by the leg, smack it against the kitchen table until it breaks, and call it 'typical Hasblow garbage.'

Make sure to leave your entire struggle with tray removal unedited and awkward.

Sounds like the perfect plan to get a popular action figure Youtube channe. I mean I know of a couple channels that basically run their whole operation on bashing Hasbro and the employees and get a lot of views and subscribers.

half of it should be a slew of cursing while injuring yourself on Hasbro's cardboard-barbed wire packing material.

Oh, I'm gonna have the microphone sensitivity all the way up so you can hear EVERYTHING, too.

Did that idea come from DD? I could have sworn that goes all the way back to the cartoon days.

I think DD were the first guys that explicitly stated it and also had greenshirts “graduate”.

Is it weird that I don’t punish myself by watching toy review videos?

We can be weird together.

When i get that Ninja force zartan, will make a 'punk guy' figure out of him. maybe Suicide from ROTLD.

 

[AceofKnaves]

Nice.

Same. I think I've watched a grand total of 2 figure review videos ever. Especially if it's something I know I'm already gonna get, it feels like a waste of time to get someone else's opinion on it.

Yep, in the Hama/Marvel comics storyline, Zartan’s Ninja Force look was what he predominantly looked like after he had worked through his guilt and personal demons re: the murder of the Hard Master, made some amends to Storm Shadow, and stopped working for Cobra. By the end of the Hama run, Zartan, Destro, Baroness AND Storm Shadow had *all* reformed, but eventually the Brainwave Scanner was used to retcon—er, I mean to make them bad again.

In my ongoing rebuilding of the entire Joes continuity to fit in my own head... Zartan going from swamp rat assassin to kinda reforming and choosing, if a bit neon, to look vaguely punk just made me like his later design more. I always wrote it off as tacky neon nonsense, but a deliberate choice to move to punk rock counterculture really does something for me, storywise.
