Yo, what´s up, guys. Welcome to the second video and my channel and this, today, is going to be a "Let´s Crate".
What's a "Let's Crate"? Nothing fancy. I don´t want to do a "Let's Play",
or, "Let's Watch", or a "Let's Talk"...
...just sit down for a bit, everybody does it, so I thought why not go with it,
2017/2018...a little bit of a best and worst
So, yeah...what was there for me, all in all.
There were plenty of very cool things, I gotta say.
I was, for example and which was a bit of a highlight for me:
I was at the C.O.N.S., in Viersen-Suechteln, "Cybertron's Open New Spaceport"
German Transformers (Fan) Convention, even with a little bit of Hasbro support.
Very cool, check them out. I´ll link this in the description below.
Otherwise there weren´t too many of big events,
Because we had a few problems in 2016, in Berlin,
with the German Comic Con,
we said to ourselves that we´re not going to attend anything.
We didn´t do it, almost chickened out and went, but we didn´t do it.
Yeah, action figures...there were plenty of things,
different topic too, but let´s get this out of the way first:
Last figure of the year was 'Fans Hobby's Power Baser,
their version of a Masterpiece Powermaster
Optimus Prime,or how he was called, in his
land of origin: 'Super Ginrai'.
Excellent figure...I DID have a few problems with the
transformation, I had a few stressmarks...
(a few? One?) I believe one...
it didn´t grow worse, but that was it already.
I was so looking forward to it VERY much
and got frustrated pretty good from the getgo.
But it grew slim to none from then on out...
All the way back to beginning of the year:
We got Masterpiece Megatron, finally a
Masterpiece Megatron, true to the source material...
well, A masterpiece Megatron from the cartoons. Sorry.
Many people were a bit rambling about
that the back wasn´t to tidy, but
I always got the engineer's approach:
What is possible with the figure, what kind of...
space you got inside the dimensions of the figure.
You know what I mean?
And that´s why I was very satisfied what they
(Takara Tomy) did to the guy.
When you think about the dimensions in general,
in which they had to work, they did a tremendous job.
Absolutely closed a gaping hole in my collection,
together with a knockoff, the KuBianBao "Starburst",
their Knockoff "Starscream".
Uhm, I was absolutely suprised and well satisfied
how he turned out...
...not one bit this fun fair, or also supermarket,
or 1-dollar-stores.
Where the companies got hold of the molds
and just fired away.
This figure? Not at all. Great plastic quality,
top notch paint applications,
transformation went 100% smooth,
we had diecast in the frame, partially,
which made for a sturdy build.
Absolutely great.
Another KO I got, was for my birthday, last year,
by my girlfriend. It was the Knockoff
Kaiyodo Revoltech Amazing Yamaguchi Venom.
Marvel Comics, of course.
Very cool, how that turned out, if you think about it.
My girlfriend got it for me and it turned out
to be a knockoff. I will tell you a bit more
in the review which IS coming.
Yeah...further gaping whole...
that was closed in my collection,
were the Evangelions behind me.
"Neon Genesis Evangelion", especially "Rebuild Of Evangelion",
with the Soul Of Chogokin Tamashi Spec EVA-00
Nothing to ramble about, an absolute top
in my list, I was SO happy with him.
Another top was Generation Toy's "Opex",
you already saw my review, but I´ll link in below anyway
same as my photo review.
Generation Toy "Tyrant": IDW Comics Stealthbomber
Megatron, of which I´ll be doing a review too.
Another stunning figure, awesome transformation.
Was a lot of fun.
Around the mediocre, but I still needed them,
were X-Transbots "Cyclonus"
and Scourge.
Their Eligos and Andras.
Great transformation, a bit complicated at times.
X-Transbots likes to work the whole "folding things
around other" and such, but worked well either way.
I didn´t have the problems other people had,
that the pegs were breaking, that are supposed to
hold down the cockpit.
But the problem with that was that the people were
applying pressure at the "predetermined breaking point",
what you should not do in any case. Always a problem.
There was a sculpted seam, which was the cause...
...and you just don´t apply pressure there...sorry.
And if you need real force, then take the edge. Worked well.
A bit broke on me on another part of the roof,
was a bit of my fault, but at least you don´t see it.
Andras on the other hand, is a great Scourge,
was a lot of fun too...
...but that foot transformation, gents? *laughs* What the hell was that?!
After you opened up the lower leg, you´re supposed to
push the foot through the gap.
And if you didn´t have it all aligned properly
it really sounded like breakage everywhere.
But I was lucky, it went alright.
Another figure I got form my girlfriend,
for the same birthday, moving away from transformers,
was the Alien Queen, from Kaiyodo also.
Beautifully sculpted, absolutely stunning,
but it seems as if Kaiyodo rushed it a bit
to get it into the package.
Because, as I unpacked her and also the accessories,
one arm was disassembled, which I had to take out
and as I did so, the hand stuck within the box.
There was no tape, or anything.
It got stuck and broke off right away.
Another hand too and I didn´t try to rotate
and there was no rotation
You had the arm and a small peg with the rotation at the wrist
and a swivel at the hand itself...and...
well....it just broke off the peg in the arm. Not cool
It´s up there, still beautiful,
but not as articulated as intended anymore.
An absolute highlight for me are the last 3
I will tell you about...
I need to check my picture , which you see below also,
then you´ll know what I'm talking about...
were the Takara Tomy Legends God Ginrai
I didn´t get the later package, but
I got Super Ginrai and Godbomber by themselves.
Awesome figures, by themselves.
Godbomber, while still nicely done, sculptwise,
is very fragile, fiddly and loose.
But what you recognize instantly is, while being nice
Godbomber is intended to be a drone and fold around
Super Ginrai
Super Ginrai himself works absolutely great.
Way more balanced than I thought he would be.
I was very satisfied, with the combined effort too.
I may get the Perfect Upgrade..but I´m not sure yet.
Uhm...the TransformMission Stunticons
were an absolute highlight for me too.
I got Powertrain a good bit before the C.O.N.S.,
the last 4, namely
Revolt
Overturn
Wildrider (Disorder) and Carnage, HEY, I did it (No, you didn´t.)
I got all of them at the C.O.N.S., from TFRobots...Kevin Lam.
Best regards
Transformation all by themselves is awesome,
I did a review for all of them too, which I will link
in my description box below too.
Combination of course a bit shaky,
but how I like to put it: "Engineering is key."
And once you put together 5 figures
how should they balance themselves?
And I think...
TransformMission, or Generation Toy
since TransForm Mission is a subsidiary,
did this absolutely awesome.
And...I believe...yeah, the highlight besides Opex, what I
said in my last video, my Figure of 2017 is absolutely
Hot Toys "War Machine" made in diecast.
I am VERY stoked for the Mark VI. Comes very soon.
It´s going to complete my shelf.
And I will finish my Whiplash, which I want to have
light-up whips.
Bit more challenging than originally thought,
but I´m going to finish it.
And least I forget:
I went on a small trip to Hannover.
And I finally got hold of my first Legends figure:
The Marvel Legends "Evolutions Groot",
with the Baby Groot, Dancing Groot and the adult Groot.
Very satisfied with it...sculpt is awesome
for such a figure, Totally great, no negatives.
And...while there I also grabbed the WWE Elite
90´s "The Undertaker".
The black and purple.
You can take of the tie and the coat too,
a little bit stiff, but it works.
And regarding the sculpt, it´s another great figure
I am very happy I got it.
That´s it with 2017...what about 2018?
2018 means the arrival of the...
...maybe one or 2 know it....
Fans Toys Aerialbots and their Superion.
It got teased and the first 2 members were announced.
Or 3? 2, or 3.
Zeta Toys is going to finish their Aerialbots...
and their Superion.
Same as their Bruticus, which is named "Armageddon".
Zeta Toys' Superion is called "Kronos",
if you want to look it up.
What else we got...Cliffjumper...G1 Masterpiece
Cliffjumper is company through several companies.
Mastermind Creations is doing one in their Ocular Max line.
We´re going to get...
Cliffjumper done by X-Transbots.
And...Cliffjumper...by...was it DX9?!
I believe DX9, don´t rip my head off if I´m wrong.
So yeah...there´s that...
Make Toys teased a Galvatron in their Cross Dimension
line at last year´s TFCon.
Another big thing...
...wait for it..
I believe this is going to be awesome.
I digged their Striker Manus, I may get him down the line,
but the Galvatron for sure.
I got a good bit of hope for Galvatron...
...first of all I´m going to get Galvatron;
Fans Toys' Sovereign.
That´s a must to finalize my Target 2006 shelf.
But I hope for a IDW G1 Galvatron, by Generation Toy.
Maybe there´s coming something.
I have to see what I´ll do figurewise and I´ll probably get a good bit...
from what I´m speaking about next:
The big highlight 2018 will be my journey to Chicago
and I´m going to attend the TFCon,
where I´ll get to meet a huge chunk of people from the "Realm Of Collectors.
This is going to be AMAZING, will be my first time
outside of germany, I will see many people I only
talk to in Hangouts, or in the
Facebook messenger only.
I believe this is going to be awesome.
I´m SO stoked for this and it´s going to be great time.
2017 we also had also many great movies.
Not too much paddling back necessary
There was Spider-man, Doctor Strange
Alien: Covenant, which all were great movies...
...with a few nitpicks with Alien: Covenant here and there.
But there´s always time to do a sitdown and talk about that.
Little independent highlight I really digged:
Slipknot's percussionist 'Shawn Crahan'
made a comic adaption movie to an independent comic by...
...I believe it was Vertigo...?
I think so and it was called "Officer Downe".
With the...actor which played Tig Trager on Sons Of Anarchy (Kim Coates).
I can´t recall the name, just now, but I believe who `m talking about.
Totally rad, awesome soundtrack, I´m friends
with the soundtrack composer on Facebook now,
awesome dude, very nice to talk to. Kyle Sherrod, check him out.
Totally funny, dark humour.
It´s about an undead Cop, Officer Down and each time
he dies he´s ressurected by telecinetic power transition. Absolutely funny.
Yeah, I gotta say...those...were my highlights...
...oh, of course "Wonder Woman", not to be forgotten.
Wonder Woman was a highlight and Justice Leage was a bust.
Tone was indeed infitting to the rest of the movies
and my hope lies with the Blu-Ray, but that´s all I´m going to say about it.
The internet is full with it.
Look it up yourself. Hit me up in the comments of course. Stoked to read your thoughts.
Infinity War comes 2018. The big one of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I think this is going to be awesome.
First Trailer was amazing, we saw the Hulkbuster 2.0,
we saw Captain America without his star
Hot Toys' part in this will sure be interesting too.
Black Panther arrives in front of Infinity War. Another heavy hitter.
A lot of things are happening in 2018, I´m looking forward to it.
I hope to see a few people too
like KaBlubber, that is now in my contacts, "What´s up?!"
Same as the Comic Toy Hunter...
...just around the corner in Hamburg, know what I mean?
I believe that´s it, from my side
Although...there´s one thing left...
Game. PS4. God Of War.
This will totally rule and I´m sure I´ll break in anticipation, same as you I believe.
But that's really it from me now.
