And I think this is my first Sit Rep of February. I have been so busy this month and just have not had time to sit down with fellow YouTubers. But tonight that changes as we interview Collector Express. Now this gentleman right here, I also had the pleasure of meeting at Big Lit Comic Con last weekend. Mr. Express, how are you doing tonight? I am doing wonderful. It was great to get to see you and love seeing how much fun Dylan was having. He was just like a firecracker running off. He was everywhere. He had such a good time. And I think my favorite part, what's that? Speedy Gonzales. Oh no, my favorite part out of the con was watching him. He was just so enthralled with everything. And when he ran into that group of Spider-Man, you know, the whole Spider-Verse and they invited him into the pictures that they were taking with all those other people, I was just like, dude, you guys are awesome. And he talked about that all week. I thought it was cute too. And so when he had his mask on, it's like, have you seen Dylan? He come up and whisper to me, I'm Dylan. He loved it. And then the next day we went as Shazam, but we didn't stay as long. He just, he wasn't into it. Yeah, I think it was a lot colder that day. And it was a lot more crowded. There was a lot of people there for the costume contest. It was just kind of hard to maneuver around. And we went too early. I wish we went later on Sunday because when the costume contest did happen, that's when everybody showed up in their full costumes. And there were some really cool ones from what I saw online. Some pictures were really good. And I'm pretty impressed with what Dylan was doing. Do you see the Dr. Doom? Oh, yeah, yeah. It's impressive what people can build a foam and... Well, I know. Had people asked me at work, would you not dress up? I was like, no, I'm a big guy. There's not many heroes that look like me. The closest thing I could do, I'm a big guy too. I'm heavy set too. I don't know if there's a mecha show like in the early 2000s called MegasexLR. The main character was Coop. There's a Deloese, one of the Deloese's, did the voices, fat guy, flannel shirt, jean. Basically like what I wear all the time anyway. There's a flannel vest. He finds a mech in like a junkyard. That's a big pile of stuff. The guy in the junkyard says, anything that piles $2 when it collapses, he finds it, he fixes it up, he puts like flames on the arms. It was almost like a Beyverse Prime before there was Beyverse Prime. He's fixed it up. Well, Kato's seen it, Megasex, I'll have to check that out. It is amazing. The creator is trying to like buy it back from Cartoon Networks multiple times, but they won't let it go. KPR, you could be a hero. You could be the blob. Nagging, this is for you. Right there, right there. What a dick. I love it. Nagging's been part of my crew here for a long time. That's how you know we're military guys. You can call each other dicks. You're good. What's up, asshole? It's just how it goes. So, that's the thing. I always like come up with, I'm subscribed to like Angry Cop review. He's active drill sergeant. And I guess from your stuff too, now actually something popped up. It's like people like Stolen Valor. Like I was watching, been watching those here recently. Like what's wrong with these people? Oh, there's some good ones. There's one. I think some guy went to the Army Navy store just bought every medal he could. I'm glad to hear that they actually admit that it fell on you now. Oh yeah, big time. Big time. Well, we might as well get started. We got 13 people who are taking the time out there Sunday to watch us. I've been bingeing Netflix all weekend. Dylan and Lisa, they went to her parents yesterday. So I had the house all to myself for like eight hours. And I finally completed Longmire. I don't know if you've ever seen that show. Oh my, I love that one. Sounds familiar. Highly recommend it. Highly recommend it. It's hard to find something to watch anymore. He got a double flip. That don't happen often. I usually don't throw out the double bird. All right, we're gonna get started. And I think during this sit rep is we're also going to do a Toy Hacks giveaway. I love doing the live giveaways. I've got plenty of these clear back Decepticon logos to give out to maybe a couple winners in the chat tonight. So stay tuned. Those are cool, where do you get those? What's that? Those are cool. Where do I get the Toy Hacks decals? I about threw them all over the room. I forgot that was open. I can't tell you how many times because with my friends or as some people refer to us to click, we always share weird comments we get. And I always have to screenshot the ones where somebody asks, where do you get those decals from? I was like, huh, where do I get the Toy Hacks decals from that I constantly say Toy Hacks, you know, refer to, which has Toy Hacks in the logo. That's beautiful. Patriot Prime right there. Yeah, and he's rocking up Toy Hacks, Ottawa logo. What Prime is that? This is the Magic Square. They're only on PE entry, which I custom painted the legs. Okay. And I did the, all the blue, I repainted it. The reds were beautiful. The blue was almost like had a purple hue to it. So I had to redo that. And also I did the wiper blades. They were silver. Oh yeah. That looks really good. It's a, you can really pull off some dynamic poses with this one, because it's got this crazy accordion joint for the amp crunch. Okay. So you can actually just basically fake a lot of stuff. And it's super easy, like just pull off some great poses and pull off some nice dynamic poses with this thing. I really like it. I'll tell you what, I'm sitting there looking at your beard. I'm looking at my beard. Another hero I could pull off, Peacemaker's die beard. I'm about ready to go that route. Yeah. Yeah. Top of the head. It's fine. My beard's like gone gray. It's got to get out. Oh, that's mine. And the wife and kid will not let me shave this off. I grew it for no shave in November. And a kid around was like, this needs to go. I look so old. You're like, no, don't do it. Don't do it. All right. Well, we've been seven minutes and haven't even started with the sit rep yet. For those of you not familiar with the sit rep, what it is is a interview session that I have with fellow toy reviewers on YouTube where I ask them 10 questions, five questions regarding Transformers toys and five questions regarding them as a YouTuber. Now, prime, if you want to go, collector calling prime, he's wearing a prime shirt. I'm prime. Well, this is prime, too. Oh, I like that. Say, save show and tell for later. That's some amazing stuff, man. Oh. All right. What are we talking about? Sit repping. Yeah. Collector Express. I know you collect a lot more than Transformers. So if you want to derail this, feel free. Derailing is part of the charm of the sit rep. But first off, tell us a little bit about yourself. Myself, I'm a big time collector. I've collected toys forever. Like a lot of people have, some people, they took a break and stopped and I've collected for ever since I was little, really. I took care of my stuff and I did sell some stuff when I was going to college. Some G1 stuff. Help pay for college. I kind of regret now. Well, absolutely regret now. But I wouldn't have the career I had if I didn't, though. So. Yeah, there you go. What do you do for a living, if you can say? Web developer, graphic artist for a university. There you go. Sounds good. And I'm a staff position, so I'm like a piece of furniture. So I'm a state employee. I'm a state employee, too. I don't like saying what I do there for a living. Where is it? There you go. I also love the customized figures, too. Like, make custom action figures, make customized transformers. The very first customers I did when I was little, I would like customize my transformers. And I said, well, I still do, like paint all the blue on this one, paint the yellow areas. The forearms weren't painted, so I paint those. And. Oh, speaking of. I can't go that route. I just, I don't, I feel I don't have the skill to. All the rate on this is custom paint. Now, what figure is that? That is, I think it's the Toy Alliance, M-A-S, A-A-S, mass, I can't remember. Zero one. The original red was almost like a salmon pink, and it just drove me crazy. I had to get rid of it. Brian, if I get a super chat, I know what I'm playing just for you. And the thing is just beautiful piece. That is, that's awesome. Got the light up pull out matrix and all that stuff, pull it lights up. Oh, frown upon, it don't transform, but I like one 12th. I don't know, I'm banned now. That's all right. I've got a few up there, they'll transform, but you know. I'm a big one 12th collector too. The extra figure collector, I consider another not exactly one 12th skill, but you can put it in. All right, sir. Well, let's get cracking. Question number one is what is the appeal, the appeal of transformers for you? Oh, it's been a childhood passion. I've loved transformers from the get go. It's a whole, when I started, when I little, it's like, it's the whole concept, two toys and one. Well, three toys and one, really, you have your alt mode, your robot mode, and you got like a puzzle of transformation. It was just, I was hooked from the get go. Yeah, who reads those instructions? Oh, Crack Cal Mafia, super chatted $2. Crack Cal, look at his logo. I dig it. Crack Cal, thank you so much. Let's see, we're gonna give you a super chat. An award or thank you video. And it's everybody's favorite. Here's your bird. Oh, dear Jesus. It's always funny when people hop in, just as I play one of those. Like, what the hell did I just click? The best part of that is if you watch Kato going, do the whole. Mongo Mango, hello, hello. Welcome to the chat. Ah, all right. I also feel like the Transformers 2 was besides the toy factor, they had such great character development on the original show. The first season was a smaller cast, you really got to know them. Then season two on, it's like, there are so many bots. Well, that's better than Marvel comics. Marvel would just throw them in and introduce them and then they disappear again. But just straight up kill them off. Yeah, then one of the great things about Marvel is they had such deep stories about the obscure characters that weren't in the show. That's why if you were a G1 fan back in the day and you read Marvel and the cartoon, it was so cool that you had those two continuities, I guess that's the proper word, going on at the same time, your multiverse, if you will. That was awesome. I didn't get into the Marvel comics until later on because I grew up in a hole in the wall small town. So it was, we didn't have a comic shop. Don't even talk to me about a hole in the wall small towns. Galvatron86 has asked this a couple of different times. So I'm gonna go ahead and throw it up. Normally, save the questions for my guest till the end, but I've seen these pop up a couple of times as he wants to know if you have an Optimus Primal. Yes, sir, multiple. I have a lot of Optimus Primals. I'm really excited. I have somebody who's actually in the chat who is going to help boost my Beast Wars collection soon. I cannot wait to get my hands on some Beast Wars figures. I got just a few and I only really collected the Predacons back in the day. For some odd reason, I didn't like the Maximals. I'm like, do I want a cheetah and a tagger or do I want dinosaurs and evil looking bugs? So. It's talking about like a non-transforming transformers too. I have the Red Series Primal that I usually keep near the foot of my Toy Alliance Optimus. It's about the right scale. I have seen the Red Transformers and Walmarts out of town. Mine never got them. And I can't tell you how many times I have picked up that Megatron and just put him back. I love Megatron figures. If any of them be the one I get, but they just don't grab me like I thought they would. Yeah. The whole lack of scale too. It's kind of disparaging of the entire line. You got Bumblebee. He looks like he could rip Megatron and Optimus in half. See, scale doesn't bother me that much. I grew up in G1 where Blaster was bigger than Metroplex. Yeah. I can deal with that. All right. Well, let's move on to question number two here, 15 minutes in. Aside from G1, which is always the number one answer, what is your number one or your favorite Transformers fiction? I'm so smart. Probably the number two answer two for everybody. It's gonna be Beast Wars. It's mainly because the limited cast, you've got such great character development, but I did not like Beast Machines. I love Beast Wars, did not like Beast Machines. Oh, you and I are in the same boat and the, it was, I mean, Beast Machines not only was super weird and just totally went in a whole different direction. Completely destroyed all the character development from Beast Wars. And the animation just sucked. I mean, granted Beast Wars wasn't top notch animation. I mean, of course, back in the day it looked really good. It's hard to watch now, season two and three are okay, but it's, you know, it is what it is. It's a product of time, but it had a great story. Beast Machines was just, it was too weird. I just, not a fan of it. Yeah, it's just not a fan of that show. This third I would say is Transformers Prime. That's probably the last real true Transformers cartoon we're gonna get strictly for the adult fans. I know the war for Cybertron Netflix was kinda that way, but it's kinda awful too. Yeah. The voice acting was better. It was one where, you know, it aired. I watched it. Will I ever watch it again? Probably not. It just, it was, and then I was excited when I heard Nickelodeon was coming out with a new show. I didn't see in the trailer, I'm like, nope, that's not for me. Same. It didn't help matters too. It kind of leaves a bad taste in your mouth when Netflix refuses to hire, like the gill voice actors that excludes all the G1 actors that's still out there. Yeah. Just basically. Well, then you see where Netflix is so in the hole. I mean, it seems like they're losing money constantly. That's true. You know, I'll admit, they used to be my go-to to watch anything. Now I'm more of a Hulu peacock guy. Well, the more streaming services you get, the more it's going to dilute the streaming, that's no pun intended or pun intended, which everyone will do. That was a good pun, actually, I liked it. All right, here's the one I've been looking forward to asking you because you already showed me what is your favorite figure or grail in your collection? Show my people what you have. If you see it, look above my head right here, that is a sealed G1 Optimus Prime signed by Peter Cullen. And I try to get this thing forever, a friend of mine growing up in the town at one Christmas, he got two, and this one stayed in his closet forever. And I finally got it from him. And the same year I got it from him, open probably like six months, they announced Peter Cullen was going to be in GalaxyCon Richmond. And my friend that does the comic book unboxings on my channel, he had free passes to GalaxyCon. I was like, man, it's a long, long drive. And where is GalaxyCon at? Richmond, Virginia. Okay, not far from me. It's a pretty good drive. Just basically, I'm going there for one person's autograph. And his autograph at the time was 75 bucks. It's like the most I've ever paid for an autograph. It's like, ah, that's like heck with it, I'm going. Went there, and this company was doing like a certificate of authenticity too. And I got it paid at 15 bucks, got a certificate sent mail to me. It's proof. I think it's like behind the box up here. That is so cool. Then I ordered the acrylic case. I went to the AFA, went ordered the acrylic case. Boom. I didn't get it graded. Because you can buy acrylic cases that you can open. And once you get them graded, they're sealed. They can never be opened back. That is so cool. That's one, I just, you know, he's getting up there in age. And I know he only, he doesn't go travel as much as he did. That's exactly what was going through my mind. I got looking at his schedule, like the appearances. That was right before COVID hit too. So it hadn't affected the schedule. Oh, so you've done this recently? 2020, February, right before. Everything went haywire. That is so cool. It was funny, I went to Big Lick and I wanted to get Michael Bean's autograph. I mean, Terminator's one of my all-time favorite movies. I got in line and I had my, I was going to have him autograph my movie. And then I saw his autograph for 70 bucks. And I was like, what? It's like, no, I've seen you, there you are. I just, I don't know. I'm just not, I'm a fan, but I also like to do other things. You know, I'm not spending $70 on autograph. It was crazy when I got like a run up, I got a couple of run-offs figures, autographed. Each are 20 bucks signature. Then with Greg Berger, I got a couple of autographs from Berger, Berger, TF Con several years back, 20 bucks of autograph. He's raised them now, but- Gary Chalk, were you at TF Con in Baltimore? I think I was at Baltimore one. Gary Chalk was only 20 bucks. I got him to autograph too. He autographed one for me and one for a friend of mine. Oh, here we go. I knew there was going to be an opportunity to talk about Prime, there he is. Love that Prime shirt, love the comic. I was a huge Ultraverse fan back in the 90s. And like I said, one of the things I love to do is make custom action figures. I actually made this figure and I have another one here that I made. And the one I have on my shirt, I thought I'd never get rid of it. But another Prime fan was asking me about it. It's like, he wanted to buy it. He kept making offers. I thought, no, I don't want to sell it. I'm gonna have to make another one. He kept making, up and up and up and finally he's like, okay. But yeah, this was one of the coolest characters when I was younger. He was written when they were at Captain Marvel now, or Shazam. He was a 13 year old kid, could transform into one of the most powerful characters in their universe. But he didn't gain to wisdom Solomon. He was still a 13 year old kid, with a power of a, power of a, like a God, with a destructive power. So he's trying to figure it out. And the only thing he knew was what reading comic books. And he'd screw up all the time plus you're a 13 year old kid trying to like be a superhero. That's cool. I'm gonna have to look that one up. I was in the nineties, I was big into comics, but I like mine was the Punisher ghost writer. I was into the dark Marvel comics. It's always a huge Punisher fan. I would think I like about the, I don't say how much do you charge? Yeah, how much do you do for sale or is it just for you? It's just for me. I don't do commissions. I got so much on my plate for work. And I actually, the sole caregiver of a elderly handicap family member. So I do this stuff for my free time. So it's hard for me, like just make stuff for me. And, and make times to do my videos. And I catch, but yeah, I would love to have all the time in the world and do customs and commissions, but that's a lot of work goes into these. So to make this look like this is a ton of work. What figure did you, what's the skeleton of that figure? What did you do the base on? If they, actually I got one on the shelf. You get up and get it real quick. I'll be right back. Intermission. Yes, Benjamin. I agree. I wonder if he goes to DC, if they're not DC, Disney, if they nerfing, they'll be like the PG-13 Robocop that came out and be shooting people tasers instead of locks. This is the base figure. Oh, that's a wicked looking one itself. This is the Caliban bath from a few years ago. And it's the perfect base to make a prime. That is so cool. I'm amazed. You customize it, just blow my mind with what you can do. I get, I do get a lot of questions like, can you make me a prime? How much for that prime? I like it so much. I made it to basically the mascot for my channel right now. Yeah, I noticed that. I guess the first time you commented, I'm like, what, that looks familiar to me. I think I asked you back in the day, I said, Hey, thanks for the comment. What the hell is that? He looks familiar. All right, moving on to the questions. What figure is your white whale, your most wanted figure? Normally I go for, what's your most wanted transformers figure? But since you kind of do them all, what's your most wanted figure? I'm getting the head of fans toys is going to do a masterpiece scale, Fortress Maximus. And they're releasing three bros by themselves. But their prices have gone like through the roof. So. Oh, names looking at hasn't you bought bacon lately? Yeah. The just the three bros is going to be masterpiece prime size. The head for Fort Max. How big is Fort Max supposed to be? Four feet. Jesus. Yeah, it's talking about like a white whale. He is going to be. Damn. Four feet. That's a size of my damn. Oh, I could grab mine too, but he's way over there. This is my childhood one. It's one of few ones I didn't sell from childhood. You got him 100% complete. Yep. I got the box up the attic. Oh, nice. Though I think I did. I did when I was little. I clip clip the tech specs. I still have them. I didn't know I'd ever keep the box, but I did. Yeah, whoever thought about keeping the boxes back in the 80s. Used to tear through them things. I only have a few G1 boxes. I got a couple of micro masters and one head master box. That's one of the things that disappointed me was the masterpiece figures. They should have done the masterpiece boxes just oversized G1 boxes. That would have been so cool. He's almost as tall as fire tox. Yeah, if you see our group pictures, fire tox is a little fella. I got right by my friend, Brad, that does the couple of unboxings for his shop. I'm not short. I'm just like, okay, fair to me, yes. I'm six too, so. I don't know, my mentality, anybody under six foot, it's short, so. Yeah, I'm six four, so I agree. All right, so here we are. Our last Transformers question for you. What's your favorite Transformers character? Any fiction, any media? It goes back forth between Optimus and Grimlock. I love them both. I got a big Grimlock collection, down about collection. I'm gonna go ahead and say, prompt's the easy answer, so I'm gonna go Grimlock. I like the size, but that is the tough part. The size and power of G1 cartoon, but I like his intelligence from the Marvel Comics. And he was more sadistic in Marvel Comics. He wasn't that nice, gentle. No, and plus when later ones are the issues you really read, he talks like he's in the cartoon, but he does it because it's like a vocal processor problem, but he likes to keep it that way because it makes people think he's slower than he is. Well, and he got that one issue where he's willing to kill the kids, just to get the blaster. Yeah, he's just brutal. He's more decepticon than he is. He's closer to the decepticon. He's kind of like a punisher type, but. Yeah. Yeah, that was like the main run of early G1 Marvel was the Grimlock versus Blaster and Goldbug on the run. I mean, that was a lot of issues. I like the G2 run too, how short it was. Yeah, I got those all. I can say I got all of G1 and G2 in trade paperback. A Titan Books came out with those in 2004 and I bought them when I was in Iraq, but I just sent them all home. So I had them waiting on me when I got there. I can't remember if I got two or three sets of the G2 run. I got the, I had a lot of the direct issues and some of the newsstands. Couldn't find out now why the 90s newsstands comics are more, more than the direct editions you got from comic shops. Hmm. That's all mine are. I bought all mine from the newsstand, local drug store down the road here. Because the newsstand books had to be destroyed once they didn't sell. See, I got all kinds of comics in that closet over there that I need to dig out and go through. It's been years since I've looked at it. Do you have like the early issues of spawn and they're like newsstand? Those are worth like double, if not triple than direct editions. I know what I'm doing tomorrow on my day off. All right. Well, that wraps up our transformers questions. Why don't we do a giveaway now? I think that would be fun. Just something to break it up a little bit. Like I said, I've got some of these fantastic toy hacks, Decepticon decals here. They come in a Sorry to bruise. They got a variety sizes. So if you got some Decepticons and they're needing some decals, let's see, we'll do a drawing. I'll throw two of these in a envelope for you and send them your way. So let's see, what will we do that? Hashtag, here's the hashtag I want you to put in, people. To win two sets of those stickers. Hashtag, there's no right. Now this program I use to pick a winner is pace sensitive. So you need to type it exactly like this. Hashtag Decepticons forever. Capital D, capital F. Now, if I draw myself, I will draw again. Those are some really nice stickers, the Cal. Yes they are. That's my toy hacks plug for my videos. Oh, I remember the pain of having to cut back in the early days before we did it. People were doing the back cut stickers. You had to take a knife and carefully trim them out. Either a knife or these little teeny tiny scissors. So let's give it what time is now, it's 10.30. 10.35 will draw, we'll get everybody a chance to hop in there with their Decepticons forever. Maybe throw in a couple of Patriots and I have business cards too. I got a few of those leftover. Decepticons forever. Nice. You know, it was really cool, a big lick meeting Michael from IDW, who actually was a fan. Well, that's cool. That was amazing. And he wasn't tiny. No, he's a big fella. Most of me meet a lot of these people like they're like, we're the rest of you. Oh, look, I'm at Larry Keeney, most of line though, at Retro Toycon in South Carolina. Great guy. Couldn't do more for you. Like when I got his autograph, he said, he jumped up to get a picture. He said, yeah, I got this autograph, picture. I got print somewhere. Who was the guy at Big Lick that was signing all the masters of the universe stuff? I don't know. I saw him in that he was autographing the figure. He had some origins figures. He was autographing. He was, I didn't get a chance because that was Saturday, when I'm trying to keep a hold of Dill in the whole time. I love taking him, but he's kind of a pain in the ass too. I can't remember. Yeah, there's somebody to do with like Master's Universe. I couldn't remember. Maybe one of the artists or something from back in the day. I can't remember it off. Yeah, he's like one of the original artists I think, from the mini comics. I can't remember. No. I can remember his face now. I was one of those who were banned. I should have got something, but Dillon was just, I just couldn't keep up. And I was so afraid to lose. I mean, I don't think anybody would have done anything there, but you know, you don't want to lose your kid. I wish it was Dolf. I would have paid $70 for Dolf's autograph. He's one of the ones too. He's getting up there too. But he still looks great for his age. He's what, he's what 70 now? I think so. That's what happens when you work out is to eat cheeseburgers all the time. I like cheeseburgers. I do too. That's what happened there tonight. Looking up something real quick. I didn't want to butcher his name. Michael Watkins. Can't remember his last name for a second. I've been messaging him, just calling him Michael. Michael Watkins. He's a fan of mine from a long time ago. He had an autograph print for me. It was so cool meeting him. I was, I'm horrible about remembering real people's names, but Transformers and comic book characters. I was like, it's my phone. Oh, that one's a so-and-so, and that one's so-and-so. I blame mine on the military because all those years in the service, everybody had their name right here. You didn't have to remember anybody's names. Just a quick glance down. Okay, Sergeant Morgan. The same with cell phones and remembering phone numbers. I can remember phone numbers when I was a child, that I had it at all the time, but now people, it's like at work. I can't remember their phone numbers. I can't remember my own. Now people say, what's your number? I don't know. I don't call myself. Punching the hashtag into my little search engine here. Adam West passed away just prior to an appearance. I remember reading about that. Let's see, Space Viking. I saw Burt got a bunch of these. When you put that F and S together, hashtags all one word. Make sure you get that right before I draw it where you get a fair chance. I saw Burt got a bunch of these. All Burt loves those things. He's been restarted. I didn't realize there was a site online where you could buy reproduction. Reproduction parts for those. Reproduction, it's the Japanese exclusive bow fist. This one was my brother-in-law's and I've been restoring it. I cleaned it up. I used a super clean to strip all the old decals off. I got a new decal sheet upstairs. The chest missiles are reproduction and the fist is reproduction. Chest is beautiful figures. Plus two, you've got to love a toy that can give you a black eye. Oh, my buddy Brad was here and this one was got the launching fist. This one here. See, not only is it gonna show off the one he has here, let me show this other one I have. This one was my brother's. So this one would never go anywhere. I did a full restoration on this one. This is with the new decals and everything. I used a, actually repaint the head too. Use the airbrush and it's beautifully done. It's actually better now than it was from the factory. I did a better- I love restoring figures. Yeah. I got a couple from my brother. I got a G1 wild rider here. We'll try to fix him up. Super clean I found was great for cleaning. These things, they'll just dissolve the old stickers. They'll just slide it off the glue. Super clean. Okay. I'm gonna do it on guy myself. Well, it don't stink like Kugan, but you don't want to put any chrome on the super clean though. He'll strip the chrome right off. All right. Well, it is past time for the drawing. Let's go ahead and do that for the, we'll do two drawings tonight. We'll do one here in the middle, one at the end. So let me share this screen with you guys. This is my drawing screen. This is really cool. I like the fact that I can draw names right from the chat. That way it's not like the live streams I do where I have to go through and hopefully somebody will contact me later. You're gonna know right then and there if you win or not. So let's see, let's make this full screen. If I can remember how. There we go. So here we are. Decepticons forever is the hashtag keyword. Start collecting those comments. There are 15 entries in this. So let's pick a winner in three, two, one. Winston, congratulations. Hit me up on Facebook or my email. Get me your address and we will get you those decals. I love how that does all the little stuff there. That's cool. I dig that. I haven't used Streamer that much. I've only done a couple of streams and I made them like unlisted. That's when the time when there was like streams where like I wasn't like hurting your like analytics or something. Oh, I can't remember it on that much about them. Oh my gosh. I hit the draw again button because I thought I won the second time. I was trying to reset it for the next next time we do it. Well, we have a winner. Winston, we'll draw again later on. We'll do a reset. All right. All right. So where are we at? Nagging guy, did you put it in right? It had to be capital F, capital D. Like I said, we're gonna do it again at the end. Hashtag Decepticons Forever altogether, capital D, capital F. It's a case sensitive, so. Yeah, we learned that last time. All right. So let's get on to questions, are YouTube questions? So number one, what possessed you a grown ass man to do toy reviews on YouTube? Who said I was grown? Actually, being stuck at home was one of the things that I saw everybody else having fun on YouTube and watching you guys and building the community is like, well, I wanna do that. That's the most fun I have with all this is meeting all the people. Yeah. There's more cool people doing this than I thought. I thought to be good too. Like a lot of stuff, do I do a customizing tutorial? I don't only do toy reviews, I do customizing tutorials and custom figures. That's something that's, a lot of people don't, a lot of customers don't share. I'm sure I'm not liked by some of them because I tell people how to do stuff. So you do more like instructional videos? I've got some of them. I don't have a whole lot, but the ones I do, I try to do step by step and very detailed how to do certain things. I need to do more of those because I enjoy doing that. And I think this helps the community, I think, because my community, as I listen to a stream the other day, the guys were customizing, it's like, sign up to my Patreon. I'll give you, have customizing tutorials. Yeah, I can for free, on my channel. I don't know, I had Patreon for a while. I just, I didn't like it. You just, I don't know. It's just something didn't appeal to me with Patreon. So I dropped that. I remember we're gonna draw again. I'll draw again at the end. Give you another chance. All right, so what keeps inspiring you to get in front of your camera? Hmm, that's a good question. I really, I want to get, getting the motivation to do it. It's one thing, but when I get to doing it, I enjoy doing it. Especially if I'm doing something customized and related, it's just natural flow. I love doing it. That's one thing I've kind of been pulling with the idea of start doing customizing streams, where I'm working on stuff, people can ask questions, just got to get a proper setup for that. But I like, I enjoy just putting my thoughts out there and trying to help people. And it's like, I think that's really cool. My friend does the comic book stuff. He does the weekly store, what he gets for a shop. Unboxings, you go, you can watch that and know what's coming out that week. And you save you a trip, especially with gas right now. And then what's at the shop? Now, my nearest shop is Princeton, West Virginia. That's an hour and a half away. And I'd love to get back to this. We're by the same distance, this is the Princeton then. There's nothing where I am. All right. There are thousands of toy reviewers on YouTube. What makes you any different from the rest? Other than your free tutorials. I try to be honest. If it's a good figure, it's a good figure. If it's a bad figure, it's a bad figure. I don't try to sugarcoat anything. If I find a flaw in it and I want to talk about it and nobody is buying my figures for me to review, I'm buying them myself. I got a stack of stuff that I need to eventually get through. Yeah. And I think that's why a lot of people tend to gravitate more toward the, I don't know, us low tier reviewers. Because we go to Walmart, we go to Target, we order online, spend our money on this thing. And I'm like, yeah, if I spent $50 on this figure, I will tell you if it's crap or not. It's like one figure, I see so many glowing reviews of, I actually reviewed it from a channel. I had to fix it for a friend of mine. The Mayfek Superman, the Hush Superman. It's not a bad figure, but it's overpriced for what it is. It's $105 for a six inch scale Superman figure. And it's got cut, had QC issues. The arm fell off in the packaging. I fixed that for him. The chest symbol is sculpted, but the paint is offset. It didn't line up. And you're paying $105 for it. Now on the secondary market, it's actually like $250, $300. And I was like, why? Well, I was scared to death when Terraso arrived. He was in the box from Amazon, which is a plus. Amazon likes shipping their shit in envelopes. Oh yeah, you've got to click that little box. Yeah, but the wing, of course, floor polished mine in is a lot tighter. The wing popped off and it was rattling around the box. And I'm like, oh, Jesus, because you're not getting a Terraso right now. No. For some odd reason, they decided, hey, let's take a mainline character, make him an exclusive and limit his distribution. I know when I did the review on Terraso, and it's one of the things that I hammered on was like, why is the main character an exclusive? Quit doing that. The orange taggertron, that's perfect for exclusive. Not a main character that should, everybody should be able to have access to get. Hi Deluxe. Oh, I noticed something on the artwork for Terraso on the box. You talking about the wings popping up? It would drive me crazy. I was like trying to articulate it for the review, kept popping that dang wing off. But I was looking at the box that show, the renders show it's a rivet and not a clip. They've changed their minds and cheapened it up. Great figure though. I mean, I hope everybody that orders one can get one. But I think he's going for 75, 150 on eBay right now. He was way overdue, and it's just makes a- Oh my God. Salt in the wound for, just salt in the wound and it made it exclusive. Yeah. Yeah, there's something I argue all the time. It was like a mainline character should not be an exclusive figure. You want these off the wall ones, like all the other ones, the jackpot, the huffer and puffer, or puffer and puffer. Oh yeah, those were purchase. What we got here, what's this one? I hate by the time it comes in, the product's already sold out, got defect, shit out of luck, yep. Oh, if anybody wants a prime shirt, I actually got them on my Teespring store. There you go. And that's your prime. Just anybody hop in now? He designed the, or he created the prime on that shirt. Yep, that is a customer. I got the guy who ended up buying this one, which I got to make a replacement for myself. I've seen him wearing these shirts and he loved it. All right, question number nine. We're nearing the end of this thing. What is the one thing you don't like about being on YouTube? Hmm. Getting started, YouTube likes to mess with new creators. They will like throw out all back traffic. I actually see them delete 84 subscribers in two days from me. And it is discouraging. I think they want people to rage quit, so they just leave with the content they've made so they quit paying for it. I had a video do start tracking really well. I did the Marvel Legends Modoc. Did great, gained like 84 subscribers over a weekend, starting Monday, they started purging all those subscribers and it's throttled back all traffic to that video. It just seems like something they've done this year. I mean, I think that happened last year when they did this. Oh really, okay. And you know, even with analytics, you can see how many subscribers you gained from a video, I gained 84. And I lost 84 subscribers. They deleted every new subscriber from that video. That makes no sense. I unlisted that video, did some cool edits, re-uploaded it, and they never even throttled that one up. It's like it's hidden from the internet of searches. I thought it was like a really good review. I've seen this happen before where people have multiple channels and they like talk to themselves in the comments section, just to start crap. Those are fun sometimes. Oh, here we are. Your Earthrise, yeah, here we go. The Earthrise Coneheads, mainline characters, Amazon exclusives, once they sold out, that was it. Yep. That's why with Amazon, as soon as one of those exclusives come out, I order them, cause Amazon, you know, you don't have to worry about paying upfront. Yep. I preach this all the time. How I use Amazon, I pre-order my, say it's $100, well, no, I've got the whole legacy line on pre-order. 170 bucks. So I pre-ordered that in October when it dropped. We pre-ordered those, Burt and I was in the room at TFCon, oh, they dropped, let's start pre-ordering. All of those are pre-ordered from Amazon. Every payday, I get a $25 gift card from Amazon at my local Kroger, which gives me extra fuel points. And then I put that $25 toward my Amazon and just reload and reload, and it's paid off by the time it gets there. That's great, I didn't think about that. Oh, Deluxe says loves the light setup. Yeah, I was talking about that as soon as we could hop on the video. I kind of wish I went with the word and changed the colors, I just went straight up white cause I have, this wraps around, there's a lot of lights. I have the... Are they battery operated or they plug in? They plug in. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Oh, look at that room. Is that your den? Is that your living room? That's been downstairs living room. Wow. I have such a small space for mine, it sucks. That's empty because that's where my Toy Alliance Prime and Megatron go. I'm doing it like a shelf reset too, so it's kind of a little messy over there. I have so much stuff. I need more shelves too. Everywhere. Yeah, Pop, I came up with that idea. I think my first year, you know, it was my second year doing this, I just, when I realized that, hey, you can just click your details on Amazon and hey, you wanna pay that towards your account and what it's like, this is what I started doing and it works. Sorry for the shaky cam. You need to do a video tour. Those are all these big hitters. I need to do that once I get my current shelves reorged. I love the fact we got a Scorponok and Portrait Maximus the same size now. Oh no, I got a Black Zarek coming in at some point, already back in October, but already from a toy store in California, so he's probably sitting on a boat out there on the coast. I've been toiling with the idea of Black Zarek, but I didn't get the T'Kara legend repaint of Portrait Maximus. What was his name? Grand Maximus? Brake Maximus? I think it was Brake Maximus. So I didn't get that one, and it's basically the counter to that one, like the hero and villain set for that. If I knew Hasbro was gonna release that, I'd be more on the fence of getting Black Zarek. Of course, it's kind of cool to have a think about having a Black Zarek that won't shatter in your hands too, GPS. At one point they would review or release, re-release in some shape or form the pretender monsters. I've got a complete unbroken monstructor, and then I've got an extra ice pick and wildfly, birdbrain and scowl, but the other ones, the GPS ones, they're in monstructor and they're not ever coming apart. Oh, yeah, you don't touch that. It's one of the, some of the action figures get that GPS too, though they're not gold. DC Universe Classics, the Kilowog Green Lantern. He's got GPS. All is green, this is disintegrating. A friend of mine, I have sold a friend of mine, one of my extra ones. Well, actually we didn't sell what we traded. I got Scare Glow, much bigger than his classics, and I traded three big DC Universe Classics of build-of-figures. It shelf just fell over on the shelf and it broke the hit of the waste piece. And I had some extra pieces too, like a work of build, another one, I was just popping like a joint off another and it just shattered and it just sliced my hand. Geez. I think the last year I had GPS is somebody gave me, remember when they were doing the Star Wars Transformer crossovers, I got the Millennium Falcon, which was Han Solo in Chewbacca. Oh, I didn't say that one. When you transformed that one, the joints, the shoulder joints were gold plastic and as soon as I turned the arms, disintegrated. Oh yeah. Oh, didn't the Hasbro version and the first mesh piece, Rodimus, Hot Rod, the Toys R Us version, have that with the knees and elbows? I'm not sure, I never, I... There's a company that made like die-cast replacement knees at one time. I've never got into the masterpiece line. I've got MP01 over there holding my American flag and masterpiece Megatron and that's it. I wish as nice as the mainline figures are now, I kind of wish I never got into masterpiece, especially the prices that are going up so high now. I'm really curious with legacy. I mean, they look good, but I feel they're gimmick. I know their gimmick is going to be that translucent Energon weapon shit that we had back in the Energon days. Remember, and I just, not a fan. I mean, I like the blast effects. I like the very, you know, we'll make everybody mad here, show it on exclusive. I loved how cartoon accurate these guys looked. I just, I don't know, I just... Legacy. I got all the non-F kids for those. I don't know, legacy's got me wondering. Yeah, the reviews I've seen for skids too, he don't look like a good figure. Hell, the G1 skids wasn't a good figure. No, it's like, I don't, it's kind of funny. Apparently skids is super popular in Japan. I don't know why. He was barely used in Marvel. He got, I think his one thing was he got knocked out and found by that chick that gave him a car wash and he fought Ravage and knocked Ravage in a whale and that was it. And he got turned into the throne from the triple changers, I believe. Yeah, he was in that one episode. But he is just, I think he's like a fan favorite in Japan for some reason. I don't know what the deal is, but... Well, what, I think he was really big when IDW first came out because there was a thrilling 30 skids. You couldn't find that guy. He was one that I'd never found back when I was collecting that line. Now the moved on from, the IDW looks for big for a long time. Now it's like with the War for Cybertron with the Earth modes, especially when it's got the Earth rides. You have the Earth style modes. I love, hated the battle damage paint from Siege. It's like, why? There's this beautiful sculpting, beautiful sculpts and you get like cheesy battle damage. Especially on the sound wave figures with all that cracked glass. And what's the thing that drives me that's too Siege, battle damage all over it. Clean as can be. Yeah. It's like, this stuff's hard to get off too. I took it off my Galvatron. It was like, I was using like a brush cleaner that works perfect, but just fine on Marvel Legends. But I had really had to rub that stuff off like I would get off the Galvatron. Now I could have just- The feet came off super easy, but my problem is I used a soft cloth instead of a more of a scouring type. And no, it still worked. It took me a little extra effort. Now I could have just weighed it and just got the legacy one and they don't have it. Yeah, true. But who wants to weight? I bet the shoulders are fixed too. Probably, I was lucked up but mine had the, my shoulders were fine on mine. I think we were, I guess where I weighed it Well, it took forever for it to ever show up around here. I didn't order it online. I actually got it at the local Target. Especially, it's nice too when they were running the 25% off keep on through the app. Oh yeah. I never, my local Walmart never gets the leader. And you can make multiple accounts and use it over. Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Getting all kinds of tips tonight. Last question, and then we'll just start doing our ramblings. Do you have any channel goals for yourself and where can viewers find you? Now, first off, before you start talking I have linked Collector Express. Collector Express is linked to, I've linked your channel in the description of this video. What is in this diet code? So, I think by what's to find you it is in the link in the description below. I'm, right now I'm checking alone hoping to get to 2004 too long. I'm actually going to do a giveaway when I hit 2000. I have a really cool, one of the most watched videos of my channel, funny enough is a knockoff juggernaut that uses, it's actually, people love this thing. It's a knockoff of the juggernaut using a Hulk body. The 80th anniversary Hulk. So he's got more articulation. He's actually better scale. I was going to do a giveaway for one of those. I've got like almost 6,000 views on that knockoff. Wow. And it's my top viewed thing and it is nice. I was going to, I figure when I hit 2000 I'll do a giveaway for that one of those figures. I have one still in the baggie. It's really kind of cool. They actually come bagged where you think it's like an old mellow way. This is like juggernaut and got some fake like copyright stuff on it. And it's kind of like a kind of cool, but it's, it is a knockoff. I've been debating on getting Dylan a knockoff, Nekka, Nathan Drake. He loves Nathan Drake. He can't find figures. I'm surprised, you know, Sony just put out the movie. It's Sony. It's a video game movie. Where's the damn action figures, Sam? Yeah, that's kind of weird. Weird. I would almost expect McFarland to make figures for it though. So he seems to be like on movie properties right now. Yeah. Where is somebody giving me grief? Well, the reason I'm drinking a Diet Coke after reviewing Pepsi Prime is that I stole this from my wife. She's a Diet Coke drinker. I had no beverages. I need to go to the store. I drank all mine today. Usually I always got Mountain Dew, Diet Mountain Dew for me. I like a cold red Mountain Dew when you can find it. Cold red. The Cherry Mountain Dew. My favorite is the one they have at KFC right now, the Peach Mountain Dew. I haven't seen that one. Oh my God. It's delicious. Of course, if we're going to go Cherry Drink, Cherry Wine, that's the North Carolina thing. Mostly North Carolina, but you can find it at some stores, but it's one of those things too. It's awesome if it's ice cold, but if it gets room temperature, it is just nasty. It's like drinking medicine. I can't think of any cola that is good at room temperature. How do you like your Mountain Dew, sir? Well, warm. You could probably drink orange soda warm, but orange soda's gonna be that good. All right, well, that wraps up the sit-wrap. Does anybody have any questions? Let's do some audience talking. Let's speak. Let's shoot some shit for a while. One of the things that I get tickled to is like a, where the toy hacks was making the joke were, where'd you get those toy hacks stickers? Yeah. I get questions that are answered in the videos. People ask questions about all the time too. It's like, I'll say it in the video. Oh, you get comments all the time where you can tell that all they did was look at your thumbnail. But my favorite is when you will upload a video. So I just uploaded, I did that Pepsi Prime the other day. So I upload my Pepsi Prime video. Within three minutes, I get a comment, fantastic video. I love the way you represent that figure. And I'm like, that's a 15 minute video. And you just commented three minutes. You didn't watch it. Yup. Somebody asked, what is your favorite beer? I am not the biggest beer drinker there is. I like the hard ciders. And there's one, it's made here in West Virginia. It's a pineapple cider. I don't know where they get pineapples in West Virginia. Love that stuff. But this is probably when we get my channel flag for a fact checker, but I like Corona. Not the virus, YouTube gods, the beer. Well, I don't drink, so. There you go. So your favorite beer would be root. I don't like root beer. Well, I can go as far as say I get with cheer wine. I don't think that's wine. Here you go. Here's one for you, collector. What's your favorite Marvel Legends figure? Hmm, that's a tough one. There's a lot of good figures. I don't want to cheat and say my prime. Since he's owned by Marvel now. I don't know who owns who anymore in the comic book world. Favorite Marvel Legends figure. It's always funny when somebody asks. Well, I don't have them yet. I have them paid for, but I will have them eventually. I bought the Galactus, the Haslab Galactus. How big is that thing? It's, I think it's close to four feet tall. I don't remember exactly how tall it is. It's tall. It's taller than the Sentinel that they did for Haslab. Hmm. I never, I don't have my favorite one yet. I never ever got into Marvel Legends. Thank God. It is a big rabbit hole, especially right now. I have so many right now where it's easy for me to walk away from Legends right now. I could easily do that because I have a lot of the characters like they're starting to make Legends of the newer characters they made in the past 15 years. I don't want anything to do with those because nothing against the characters is just, I didn't grow up reading those. I don't care about them. I don't know about them. So that's kind of the way I feel about the new Marvel movies. Like, okay, you ended with the Avengers. You ended with all the ones I grew up on. Now, Spider-Man was good looking forward to Doctor Strange but all these other ones are just pulling out from everywhere. I just have no interest. Well, it's that they're introducing like in the Doctor Strange movie, one of the newer characters like America Chavez. I have no idea who that is. No way it does. Then the figures already paid Warman. They might start selling when the movie comes out but that didn't help the Eternals. I didn't see that one either. It just didn't interest me. I was like, I have no idea who these characters are. They chose to do the Eternals instead of the Inhumans. Well, they did the Inhuman like really crappy TV series. I remember that one. They're more alike than the Eternals in the comics. So I don't know what their logic was to push the Eternals. I have close to 10,000 comic books. I don't think I have the single Eternals comic book. I just, I'm not familiar with them at all. It just, it didn't appeal to me and it was at the time it just, I'm only going to the movies. Well, I went and saw Homecoming, went and saw Uncharted. I love going to the movies, but man, you take, here's three of us. We go to the movies. It's about 60 bucks. So, now I did like Shang-Chi. I saw that on Disney Plus. I really liked that one. I haven't watched it, but what I've seen it is it's almost like it's too grandiose. And it seemed like it should have been more like sit at the comic books. They could have toned it down. Like I said, I haven't watched it myself. So I thought it would be a really cool thing. I have no knowledge of the Marvel comic figure. Shang-Chi was, yeah. In the comics, Shang-Chi was Marvel ripping off Bruce Lee, the popularity of Bruce Lee. He was basically their version of Bruce Lee. Master of Kung Fu, was that who was? Yep. I remember that from way back in the day. Cause that's, that's when I started Marvel in the late 70s. He was a street level character. He, his father was a, I can't remember his name. His father is a magical character too, but he is like immortal. But he's kind of like a Rash Al Ghul type character. And here you go. Rosy L. Capitalized on Bruce Lee. Yep. And he betrayed his father on his first mission to go assassinate somebody and teamed up with Ilma-6. And basically like the takedown, the crime organization, his father set up. And that would have been, to me, I've been a great story. They could have been on a lower budget, had more time to put some more. I don't need the big huge grandiose type stories for everything. Everything don't need to be like the world's one end type story. Real quick, I'm gonna comment with Turtle Tank. Have you seen what Neck is bringing out for the thing, Nex, the dogs? Yeah. The thing dogs, those look just gnarly. Neck just makes beautiful sculpts just, and they've improved a lot with fragility on their figures too. Early stuff, it's just shatters. I have one, two, you've got five predators, the big chap alien, like the from from the 19, what was that, 78? Yeah, I think 78, 79. Yeah, something like that. I've got that, and then I've got all the terminators, except for Sarah Connor and John. That two pack, never found that. Yeah, I got a lot of the alien. When Necker re-released this one, just made my day, because anytime I think of the terminator, it's this one, the police assault. And I almost- I have the T2 Arnold, I don't have the T1. What's that? I got the T1, the T2 Arnold, but not the T1. The Robocops are nice too. I got- Have you pre-ordered the new ones? I have not. They look- I've got Robocop and the electronic Ed 209 coming out. I have the original Ed 209, and I got the Robocop 1, I think, and I ordered the Robocop 3. The third movie was terrible, but I like the- We didn't buy one third movie. What third movie? Yeah. Actually, I enjoyed the series. It was- I don't remember it. I don't remember Robocop the series at all. Of course, granted, I moved out a year after I graduated. Was it a year? Maybe two years after I graduated. In the apartment I had, didn't have TV. This is way before the internet and streaming. So anytime I wanted to watch something, it was either my VHS collection or I went to the video store and got something to watch. So I never saw a lot of 90s shows. Oh, a video store is one of these places where you actually go with the rent movies, everyone. And it was so cool. I always enjoyed it. What I want to watch tonight, and you're looking- Oh, that's part of the enjoyment going out. You had nothing to do with the movie. Yeah. Especially the old B-movie stuff. I watched so many schlocky horror movies back in the day. I love horror movies. Grant, I didn't watch any late like that. I subscribed to Shutter and I mainly got it. I wanted to watch Creep Show and there was a few documentaries on horror movies that I watched and then I hadn't watched much on them. I didn't need to drop that one. That's only like five bucks. I think I actually got into watching the Netflix has those Asian horror movies. Those have been pretty good. Oh, yeah, I've seen all those. So one of those apartment complex where like the people are mutating and stuff. Yeah. What was the thing of that one? It was good. Like one of the main characters got started to turn it in. I can't remember the name. I think my favorite foreign one I've seen recently was that train to Busan, Busan. I've heard that one. It's good. That's a good one. Killer clowns from outer space. Yeah, well, I've seen it. I remember watching that one back in the day, rent it. Oh, the first few puppet masters. That was it. Train to Busan. That was the name of the train. The puppet master movies back in the day, like they were the first few ones when they actually had really good puppets. I like part three. That was one of the six armed cowboy. Yeah. That one was a good one. The continuity just does not work between the movie time skips over. It's like, it's a multiverse. Puppet master is a multiverse. Oh, it's like tremors. I love tremors one. The rest of them was like, did the writer actually watch the first movie? It's almost like a Bayverse thing. The two wasn't that bad. They did more of Burt. Yeah, it was all about Burt. Kevin Bacon never came back. Hey, it was a fan page. Haven't seen him for a while. T fan page. I always call him T fan page. I know who I meant. Chud. That was another good one. Army of darkness, yes. Or AKA, people did three. Warlock. That was one of my favorite 90s ones too. Oh, yeah. I remember that one. Oh, it's another one. Arachnophobia. That's scary because I hate fucking spiders. There's one that was North, sitting in New York, had North mythology tier. Fenrir was in it. The, I can't remember the name of the movie. It was pretty good though. Especially like for like the budget and the time. The tier I think was the guy who played Warlock. Like the North character tier. Now there's a man with a beard. We used to talk about beards. Look at breasts in there. That's epic. Toy hatch mark, man. I cut about this much off. I cut about that much off my beard yesterday morning. I think I'm gonna do, I was looking at beard designs and you remember watching Gas Monkey Garage or whatever that was on Discovery Channel. I like how the guy had the pointy chin thing. I think we'll try to go for that. Look, just near the face down. Maybe look like a Warlock or something. Give me some rubber bands if they're kept in Louis, Alabama. No, we're gonna go that far. What was another good 90s horror movie? I love how set reps will start from Transformers and you just do it. Let's see. You know, a good movie that I haven't seen in years. It was a 90s sci-fi action movie. I thought I had it on DVD. I went to watch it the other day because I saw an article on the internet about it. Was, but I can't find the DVD. I don't know where it went. Remember the movie No Escape with Ray Liotta? He was in the future. Oh, yeah, yeah. I remember that. You put it on the island. Yeah. They were, like, trying to push to make him like an action star. It didn't really work. But I enjoyed the movie. That movie had the best impalement scene I have ever seen in a movie where that guy gets knocked off the top and he lands on the wooden stake. I mean, it was the big, thick wooden stake. You just see his guts and everything just fly out. It's been so long since I've seen that. I hardly remember anything about that one. I had so many of my DVDs in Iraq, too. We used to pass around DVDs all the time. I go, no streaming then either. So who the hell knows if I got home with all of them? We was talking about like the Evil Dead. I used to have the VHS copies, so like the unrated ones. If I had to go down, those sort of things are worth quite a bit of money. It's like, I lost them like a house fire when I was younger. Back in 99, we had a house fire and I lost them. That sucks. I had the entire set of the Transformers Trading Cards, too, like the little packs from 84 or 86. I remember those. I have one left. I had two full sets. I lost them. They got burned up. Brian, I just got that on Blu-ray. It was like in a $5 bin at Walmart. That was a very good Blu-ray transfer. And another one that surprised me, Blu-ray wise, was Universal Soldier, one of my all-time favorite movies. Oh yeah. Just got the Blu-ray version of that. It looks like it was filmed yesterday. Really good transfer. Nice. Some of those Transformers you get, it's like, man, they just copied the DVD. I got a beard because I hate shave. Yeah, me too. Yeah. Listen to me, you just got shaved down through here. You can get away with it a lot longer. I was kind of like this. Yes, that's the one I was thinking about. I come in peace. Remember that one? I'm hungering, yes. I like that one. And you go with peace as a asshole. That was funny. They always have him playing such the big, tough, dumb guy. And he's got several PhDs. Oh yeah, he's smart as hell. Yeah. He's more of a scientist than most people that pretend to be scientists. Because I think that was my biggest, I've always been a Dolph Lundred fan. I hated when the, what was the, Expendables came out. You know, how he was hardly in it. I was like, oh, come on, man. Yeah, the fight scene and they live. Oh, we could talk old movies forever. I need to do an old movie. I need to make a new channel. Patriot Prime Reviews, old ass movies. Let's see. One of the most quoted scenes was an ablib scene from Ronnie Piper from They Live. I've came to chew bubblegum and kick ass and I'm all out of bubblegum. Yep. Yep. Somebody else just, what did he die of? Anybody remember? He died young. Yeah. That was a shock for everybody when he passed away. That's so bad. You watch a lot of those movies as a kid. You're like, man, that guy's dead. He's dead. If they didn't have this, the stigma like they had with wrestlers going into acting like they didn't, they don't have that now. But back then they didn't like people crossing over from TV or anything to try to become going to Hollywood. I thought Piper was great. He should have been like an Arnold. He should have been, he was actually a badass in real life. He was. That's like, it was funny. We went and saw Uncharted over the weekend and there was a DC trailer for like the new DC movies coming out and The Rock's Shazam was in there. I guess I'm calling and Dylan, he was funny. Dylan is seven. He looks over at me and goes, gosh, dad, is he in every movie? I was like, yeah, I think Dwayne Johnson is this generation's Arnold Schwarzenegger. Remember every action movie back in the day had Arnold in it? Well, they kind of like had a movie, was it the rundown? They considered that like Arnold passing a torch to him. I remember that because Arnold walked in the bar or something like that, too old-fashioned. Yes, that's my favorite. Gave him a nod. They basically just walked past each other and he gave Dwayne the nod and left us, left us. Of course, he's much bigger than Arnold. Arnold's six foot, six one and Dwayne's six four. Something like that. Not overly huge, but of course I like those pictures with Conan set with Arnold and Andre. Oh, he's hanging off Will Chamberlain and Andre's arms and his little legs kicking. Andre was a different type of creature. He was huge. It's in there reading through the chats. There's one slow decay. We'll go back into Transformers for a second. I actually need to get off here. It's 11, 16. Using the original voice actors in Rise of the Beast. You know, Rise of the Beast. I'm just, I'm up in the air on that one. I'm not really sure. I don't know. I love Bumble Bee. I thought they did Bumble Bee Perfect. That should be the first Transformers movie. Yeah. That was done by Will. You know, I feel like they're just gonna overblow it again because it makes no sense. Let's do it in the 90s, which is cool. I take the 90s, but let's do the Rise of the Beasts in New York. I think it needs to be like the, I don't know. I mean, that makes no sense. Will I go see it? Yes. Am I really excited for it? No. I even saw the last night in the theater. So I'll probably see it. That's one I didn't. I heard it was so bad. And I actually got my hands on a wayfair of the Seven Seas copy and watched it. Now I couldn't even stand that. I couldn't stand watching it in the comfort of my own. Yeah. The story made no sense. They end it too with a cliffhanger and that thing. Ooh. Yes. And it's one of the things too, it's gotten to be a trope of science fiction anymore. You see a lot. The earth is something else. There's something inside the earth. They did it in Eternals too. Oh yeah. Something's inside the earth already in the sky beam. Yeah. And Transformers Prime, I think Transformers Prime was one of the first ones that did it. Like modern, I can think of, the earth was Unicron. Then they was doing that with the last night, Earth is Unicron. Oh, I remember that now. But for some reason in Transformers Prime it worked. You didn't bitch about it. No. Yeah, it's so many other things. They start doing the exact same thing, final space. The earth was an egg for Titan. That's the same way of like Eternals. The earth is an egg for a Eternal. All right, well buddy, I need to wrap this up. It's almost 11, 30, I'm gonna get to bed. But before we do, as promised, I'm gonna do another giveaway for a couple of sheets of these awesome Toy Hacks clear-backed Decepticon insignias. Actually, I never do they were clear-backed or not. So I had to pull up a sheet. So where's my, just to show you, we'll pull this big one off. As you can see, these are clear-backed. So they will work on any Decepticon figure that you have that needs some decals. It's so hard to put the clear-back ones back where they belong. So we're gonna draw again for a winner for this. Once again, hashtag Decepticons forever, capital D, capital F, both words together. We will draw at 11.25. Get those in. I really like their 3D raised logos too. Those are really cool. The ones I wasn't a fan of are those Repro labels or Toy Hacks, same thing. I forget when they went to Toy Hacks, but what's funny, I kept calling them Repro labels in my videos for the longest time. Yeah, the longest time I kept calling them that and people like, Toy Hacks, what's Toy Hacks? Oh, yeah, I bought them though. I got this weapon for my iron hide from them. It's based on the G1 weapon. Remember the, if I can get that to focus in. Of course, he had this little one that kind of looks like it, but I like the red. I like the Toy Hacks armory guns. They're too far away. I bought all the non-F kits for the vans of Fretcher and Ironhide. The defeat swap with the, so they don't have the giant feet hanging off the back so it'd actually transform them to the back of the van. You know, it's funny, I see so many people complained about that and I thought about getting them myself and I'm like, you know, I display all my figures in robot mode so it doesn't matter. That's true. That's like a lot of people will complain about hollow bits on the back of your figure. You don't see the back of my figure on the shelf. I do have a lot of tips on the arms. Slide in, I was reviewing some G1s. Remember all of our G1s had the little lever that slid the first van in. I missed that. That is, all TF fan page. Where can I buy Toy Hacks to the Summit Walmart? Dicks sporting goods, just Google Dicks and you'll find it. I have iGear's mini Mp1 and it has the sliding hands up into the, like he was talking about, where you got Mp1 so, where you slide the hands up into the forearm. Yeah. One of the very first third party transformers. Well, I guess you call it, I almost kind of call it like a fourth party since it's kind of a KO but it's smaller than the original. They used to, they were really good with like customer service when they first started too. Then they got like quit answering people. They kind of like went their own ways. Yeah. Dredge, he agrees. He missed the sliding hands too. Yeah. But, so many G1s you broke. Mindwipe was the worst. He didn't have the big slider. He had those little tiny pegs. So many mind wipes. Just snap that peg going off. I love Shatterglass. I think it's cool. I always liked the alternate universe. All right. Let's get this drawing good up. Shatterglass is cool to me but I just don't have any, I have so much. I gotta like draw the line. All right. Let me get this entered again. So I can get this drawing up and ready to roll. See the sabrotron Optimus Prime. I love that figure. I got the car one, the Galaxy Convoy. I did a review on him a few months ago. I forgot how cool he was. He was like one of my top like mainline primes for a long time. And he's huge. That's what leader class used to be. Yeah. Huge with battery operated gimmicks. I got mine from Hobby Link Japan so many years ago. I got mine from Kmart. The best thing about getting the car, I mean the car versions time, they have the metal pins. The wings don't come off. Elates. A couple sheets of these Decepticon Toy Hacks decals. Hashtag Decepticons forever. I am drawing in two minutes. Capital D and capital F. One more. Capital D, capital F. I want my childhood to think. Oh, certainly like grill figures earlier. One thing that used to be like a grill thing was, when I first got online, finding out transformers kept going in Japan, Star Convoy, they brought back Optimus Prime. They used to be such a grill figure for me. Now in the 2000s, they reissued it. And then I got it. That's like, this thing's a brick. Very much a brick. I remember I forget where I was watching that. And I was like, wow, what a brick figure, but a glorious brick. Oh yeah. I did get the alien keys version of it here recently. Mastermind creations, they did a like a masterpiece style. Somebody made a comment about the right color of rumble or frenzy, so I like to play this. It's Michael. Yeah. You see why I named it bitch slap. If you're a cartoon fan, the rumble is blue. And he will always be blue for me. Get that off here. There we go. All right, 1125, let's get this drawing going. Let's see, start collecting comments. Hashtag Decepticons Forever, start collecting comments. We've got, they blow this up full screen. So everybody can see 11 entries this time. That's odd. I thought it's all more than that. Yeah, Decepticons. Okay, I got spelled right. Do a refresh. Unless we had people lose, leave the chat. Am I got tired of dealing with this? It happens. It's getting late. Hashtag Decepticons Forever, start collecting comments. Yep, it's 11. So 11's left. So here we go. Drawing number two, slow decay. I just saw you twice. You can't say anything this time. And memo. Oh my gosh. These are just talking about how he was winning stuff all day today. There you go, brother. So you know how to get ahold of me memo. We've gotten ahold of each other before. Am I on the rush street? No, that's my other channel. All right, what's that? Because it's glorious. I love Megatrons. That is the Toy Alliance Megatron. God, that thing's awesome. Does it transform too? Where's that? It's an action figure, too. Okay. And where's that? Looks like he's getting ready to check you for cavities. It's got the removable chest plate. I love that. These things are awesome. They were going to do a sound wave. They were around about like 200 bucks originally, but I didn't pay that for this one. I got it on sale for like, I think 140, 130. Hmm. Then Optimus, when it was new, it was like 169. You know, I think I saw that at TF Con in Baltimore. Come and think of it. These things are so cool. If you've got Marvel items and stuff like that, they're just great display pieces. Oh, well, that's most of mine anyway. I'll transform a couple of times and they stay on the shelf until they become classics and I review them again. All right. We'll collect her in a non-transformer. There you go, check. Crown. I got a new vehicle mode in, Robo-Man. I am going to shut this thing down. It is 1130. I have had a blast talking with you. It's been fun. Yes, sir. I enjoyed you as well. I mean, usually I don't draw too big of a crowd on a Sunday, but I was gone last night and it is what it is. So as usual, I appreciate you guys coming in. I appreciate you accepting my invite. I always enjoy talking to new people that we've only seen via the chats or maybe on Facebook. Or really not that far distance wise. It's a little bit of a drive, but not bad. Yeah, not bad. I think you're up close to where my, I have family up in Charleston, West Virginia. Charleston's about an hour and a half from me, yeah. So you're basically about right in the middle. I'm close. Are you familiar with the Green Bar Hotel is? Yeah, I'm near there. All right. Well, brother, once again, great having you on chat. Appreciate it as always. And we'll see you next time.
