Adam Savage Unboxes Awesome Fan Art!

[@jeffsaxton2051]

Since no one has said it, the navy blue "Navy 66" strap honors "Old 66", the Sikorsky Sea King helicopter used to bring the various Command Modules onto the decks of the carriers during Apollo recoveries (Apollo's 8, 10, 11, 12 and 13).

[@newbymick1]

I was wondering when someone would say this. Adam completely didn't get the significance of the 66 or the Redstone. Shame on Adam seeing as he is such a NASA fanboy.

[@battlebeastmode]

Enjoy!!!! Glad you dig it Adam!!

Is it missing a eyebrow?

[@johnanon6938]

@@A._is_for Didn't Adam loose an eyebrow on MB? Would be on point if it is lol.

[@DUKE_of_RAMBLE]

​@@johnanon6938 He did indeed. I think it was the cigarette, or maybe cellphone, at a gas station myth? They were trying to dial in the right air:fuel ratio in a small scale enclosure when as he was monitoring it, _WHOOOF!_ The mixture ignited, blew the lid off the box (but relatively gently since it's kind of the nature of gasoline ignition), and a fireball washed over Adam's face. Thus giving us one of the great Adamisms: _"[chuckling] Am I missing... an eyebrow?!"_ He indeed was. And most of his hair was quite singed as well! Thankfully it was very short already, so it didn't change things *too* radically. Sucks when situations with fire happen like that, because you immediately know you're absent some hair due the smell, as it's a _DEAD_ giveaway! 😢😅

[@cidmontenegro8225]

@@DUKE_of_RAMBLE What makes that story better, is that he had a date (this was before he was married) after filming that day, or the next day. That's an additional reason why he was freaking out.

[@DUKE_of_RAMBLE]

@@cidmontenegro8225 Yea, I recall him stating that! 😅 Poor Adam... And while it didn't work out, they stayed acquaintances! But it was for the better, as he wouldn't have found his current wife 😊

I know why your fans who are makers send you things, your gratitude is so genuine.

[@AskKory]

I cant get over the digital design of all the packaging honestly not a watch wearer so dont care about the item but im blown away by the digital design just everything having to do with the packaging is amazing whoever did that work is a wizard in their field.

You know the famous saying "someone who doesn't wear a watch has nowhere to be".

The Savage Beast and Haveston fan-swag was super cool, now I'm curious what that Hav lunar patch design was about.

[@corrinastanley125]

They were really cool gifts, and the Bundaberg ginger beer bottle was a nice touch.

1:50 You just know it's going to be good, when Adam throws his glasses onto the table 🤣

[@jordanjackson3537]

Good heavens. Haveston may have the best package design I have ever seen.

[@evaheat1]

"We should all be teaching our young people how to do resin casting." Words to live by!

[@CalicoStonewolf]

Someone give the Design artist/team at Haveston a raise! Man, so gorgeous.

[@graefx]

I love the 4 different detours Adam's story takes and he still sticks the landing. A rare skill. Ill always remember the bts of George Lucas taking 3 highlighters to color in the story boards of which was a practical effect, CG, and set. And then at some point he screws up and just derails with this biggest sigh of defeat.

[@Concidineart]

Very cool gifts!! The watch parchment and packaging design is so neat! I hadn't heard about the practical effects in episode one before!

[@Zombie_Problem]

Always had a problem with my Speedmaster strap being to large for my wrist. Think I'm going to make a purchase from Haveston this week, freaking awesome design.

[@shubinternet]

Haveston has some nice designs. I think I’m going to get a couple and test them out on my Apple Watch Ultras.

[@Zombie_Problem]

@@shubinternet They had me with the packaging 😍

[@stephenfrancisvoros382]

Adam, I being an Aussie, I got a laugh out of the Bundaberg Beer bottle, though had it been a bottle Bundaberg Rum, I'm particularly found of their SOLERA, it would of really brought the beast out mate, their standard rum has rep, only real men drink it! Bundy Beer there is no better. Some thoughtful people still out there hay.

[@invox9490]

As a former designer, I just wanna say that those packages where amazing. Kudos to the company/person that trully believes "details matter". 👏

[@L3gi0n3r123]

Adam Savage's figure in the packaging reminds me of Gordon Freeman 😂

[@thir13enthman]

I was thinking that exact thing

[@squidobarnez]

I had a crazy amount of the Battle Beast toys when I was younger. My friends and I would bring them into school and show them off to each other, sort of like Pokemon before Pokemon. Seeing this has taken my heart-mind on a crazy-awesome trip through my memories. *high-fives-like-whoa*

[@battlebeastmode]

[@hisownsidekick]

I need to finally go back and rewatch Episode I with some kind of resource that can point out and analyze all the effects work. Some comprehensive video or podcast episode or something.

[@simondoyle5173]

I love that the Naboo pod race stands were a practical effect, but even moreso because it used *exactly* the same technique as was used for the chariot race sequence in the silent version of “Ben Hur”.

[@treasurerFinleyASC]

Both you and Adam misspoke/wrote. The pod race occurs on Tattooine.

[@graefx]

The watch straps were a masterclass in packaging graphic design

[@BernardManansala]

LOVE Haveston Straps I have quite a few straps from them.

[@billbucktube]

Gifts are fabulous! I wonder how much advertising value this brings? Just curious, the gifting is heartfelt.

The Demerit Badges are tempting as a stocking stuffer for mom... as two years ago she stapled her finger in accident. Except... it wasn't that kind, it was a hammer stapler... And it didn't go into the underside meat, it was on the top and in the bone! 🤢😭 It was in so firmly with just the ONE tine that I couldn't get it out with a needlenose and she had to go to the Urgent Care clinic 🥴

[@aserta]

Wait... is there a picture of the q-tip package? Because i swear i saw a picture with a SW blister somewhere. I don't recall if it had that text on it, but it did have the period correct logos and background for merch. Man... now i have to go trowel for it.

[@backforblood3421]

I wonder if Michael Stevens ever mentioned what he knows about mind control while he and Adam were working together. If so, I wonder why Adam never mentioned it to his viewers, given that the ability to control thoughts, behavior, etc. is ESSENTIALLY INFINITELY important in determining whether a given action, word, etc. actually originates from the person it is perceived as coming from by those who know nothing about such technology and that it has existed for several decades, as confirmed in an episode of the Science Channel series Dark Matters: Twisted But True from about 12 and a half years ago in which Michael Stevens appears speaking about mind control experimentation. You see, it doesn't matter what is admitted, because the mindless human cattle that comprises the overwhelming majority of the population, including the scientific community and all other "experts", will just go along with whatever the power structure acts as if the reality were, even if it tells them the opposite and proves it to be true.
