[@Mentocthemindtaker]

Thank you so much for featuring this Norman! It is great that we live in a time when independent toy creators can make things like this that are on-par with the big toy companies. These are really great toys, especially for the price. The detail and articulation are what really brought me in. I sincerely hope this encourages enough backers to reach the goal!

[@AdanGwho]

Adam savage's tested can u pls give away that mech to me pls i live in lindsay California 1010 monte vista st

[@elliottawns8041]

I've been following this project for almost three years now. I really hope this video helps it reach its goal :)

[@iESCAP1SM]

Same man, they’re coming out soooo nicely

[@kyleashley]

@@iESCAP1SM yip i been following for a long time to, so exciting finally to see KICKSTARTER!!!, whith this exposure, more peeps means its closer to ...one sitting on my shelf ^_^

[@Mentocthemindtaker]

I hope so too.These figures are so detailed and _easily_ rival anything similar on the market, especially for the price.

[@iESCAP1SM]

@@kyleashley Honestly I want to see some miniature painter let loose on one of these. Some Gun Metal and dry brushing would work wonders on this base

[@bartybum]

Same, but they've only reached about 32% of their Kickstarter goal, and only have 8 days to go ): I don't think this is gonna be successful

[@drago7635]

The Funding wasnt succesfull but i feel they should give it another shot!! these figures look amazing! i didnt know these even existed

[@Goo4You135]

Hope this gets funded. It's a hefty goal... Been following this dude for years. Can't wait to get my hands on these.

[@VincentGroenewold]

Yeah that jumped at me as well, that goal is very steep. Hope it works out and he understands the trickiness of Kickstarter.

[@teccotoys]

@@VincentGroenewold here's a link to a longer interview explaining in detail the reason for the high funding goal: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZ6Qnp2Viamoo68

[@josephmelnick3446]

Those one-off's of Adam and Norm ARE THE BOMB!!! I'm jumpin' up and down over those. That's SO MUCH "The Right Stuff" right there! What did Adam think about them?!?!?!

[@jonathanortiz3253]

Wow, I had already backed this project before this video. The mechs are cool but the eco suits are really intriguing! I hope it reaches the goal! Thanks for showcasing this project.

[@m.kingery]

It’s a good day to be a kid at heart!

[@dilanfdd]

I've literally just pledged after listening to the creator in a podcast, so great to see it being covered by Tested!

[@Youcannotfalter]

Shame you didn't put this video out earlier, could have helped with the Kickstarter.

[@glenncurry5869]

love the little Adam and Norm pilots...

[@mixiekins]

Oh wow! I wonder if The CrafsMan has heard about these yet. The anime mech style might be a bit tangential, but the snap-on upgrade suit is fantastically practical!

[@edimusprime]

I'm in his group on facebook. You should make a post asking him!!!

[@hvalurdrekin]

Mecha Gods help us reach the goal and get them into our collections! it could be an awesome new series of figures. In fact, there are very few such robots and pilots now, literally one company in China is doing something like this.

[@Mentocthemindtaker]

Are you referring to JoyToy?

[@hvalurdrekin]

@@Mentocthemindtaker yeah)

[@charlesschultz3465]

B2five is also noteworthy for this in 1/28 scale

[@JQModels]

This is epic. Viewers please help make this happen.

[@littleBIGrobots]

I customize toys, and love indie brands! I got Snapships thanks to you guys, so it's cool to see this project (which I contributed to last week) come up here as well!

[@tattoodrdoke]

No imagine once you add lights to this for photography. They look awesome

[@milestheone5058]

I’m glad it’s finally getting the exposure it deserves, so cool !!!

[@DetoxA1313]

I love this project, and that Tested is showcasing it here!

[@phillee321]

I am sold by the double pilot cockpit. This is great

[@Mentocthemindtaker]

_and_ it has a hatch for the second crew member to pop his head up!

[@phillee321]

@@Mentocthemindtaker omg I did not notice. Lots of love was put into the design. Hope they get funded

[@scottperkins5038]

I love these styles of mecha more cockpits with limbs than the most humanoid designs of Gundam.

[@Ethazoid19]

I've been following TeccoToys for one or two years now, and I am so excited to finally get my hands on them! I really hope it gets fully funded!

[@tzxazrael]

is it just me, or do the characters bear a strong resemblance to Norm, and Adam? nvm lol... guess who commented before the end of the video xD

[@jm823]

Funny when i saw it I was like hmmm Adam has his own brand of toys.😂

[@zombiemilkshake1]

Back this project! I have and I'm excited to get my hands on these figures and mechs.

[@chino1moreno]

this is such an inspiring episode

[@BlitzMekanika]

Been following this project since it began. Everybody light the kickstarter on fire.🔥

[@yemo34]

It was about time for this to get featured.

[@nickgennady]

I hope this gets funded. Really cool

[@YasahiroYoruki]

It have the feel of Kotobukiya Hexagear model kits. It will look great to have them side by side.

[@DanaCornZine]

Only 9 days left on this. Even if you give $5, donate something to this awesome line of mechs. I want these things so badly.

[@jeremybarretta5282]

Armored core still my favorite mech game

[@rikou1986]

Pretty amazing that it's all one guy.

[@Qwkmm]

I was hoping the end would have shown Adam gushing over his new figure.

[@shadow7037932]

Very cool project. I backed for the Exo suit. With that said, I wish they had a digital/STL tier (maybe with more limited/different models) so we could print them out ourselves. I have an Elgoo Mars Pro that's excellent at printing minis.

[@A_Flaco]

I don’t have a lot of knowledge on 3d printing but when the mech parts are complete do they appear grey and then you would have to paint them?

[@AC-gb7do]

The AoM stuff is NICE!

[@oshkoshbjoshnosh9306]

This is so sick can’t wait to see it more

[@montlejohnbojangles8937]

Holy cow, those are great! AND I WAS DOING SO WELL SAVING MONEY. THANKS, NORM. Q_Q

[@antonio-tt7js]

Tus figuras están geniales!! Exitos, saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷

[@clawrence034]

You should really take a look at the original Maschinen Krieger kits that started this style of mechs. Kow Yokoyama essentially reverse engineered ILM style kit bashing in the 1980s from Japan.

[@thecoolerrats7144]

Man, this makes me wish Hawken was still on PC.

[@dodorichard]

looks so good, i want one too

[@Pardogad]

Such an artist

[@sicantreis]

Found this to late to pledge - wonder if selling 3D models to 3D print might be a option..?

[@sicantreis]

@是我 I personally can't make these type of 3D digital models.

[@cyborgzloth]

i hope this is helps to reach the goal

[@ricmics9712]

That's amazing!

Been seeing this all over the net, before the release of this video.

[@Mentocthemindtaker]

Oh great! hopefully that means it will get fully funded.

[@EckmanJones]

I'd love to see what the Gunpla artists could do with one of these.

[@MCPhatman]

I so want these mechs...

[@Mentocthemindtaker]

Back the Kickstarter and you _can_ have them! www.kickstarter.com/projects/aom/teccotoys-age-of-mechatm-action-figures-and-vehicles

[@WindFireAllThatKindOfThing]

Got over excited. Thought Adam made a legit mech/landmate/power armor. Because we know it's not beyond him.

[@Mentocthemindtaker]

The difference is you can buy these - you could _never_ buy a mech if Adam had built it!

[@Zafluka]

That makes sense the thrusters are held at the angle of takeoff.

[@therealesttoolyjones]

Okay so now I HAVE to get a 3D printer. Does anyone know the software used to design these models??

[@teccotoys]

Maya and Zbrush

[@chrisdonley6103]

These are great!

[@MuhammadDaudkhanTV100]

Great full 👌💯💕👍❤️☔

[@therealspaceninja27]

Fantastic design and esthetics! I would pay X3 $$$ for a 1/18 scale of this! Or even a 1/24!

[@lsdavenger5856]

Once you buy it you can just scale the file down in your slicing software

[@noblord8643]

Whats the diffrent between pocket mech n age of mecha lines?

[@dobbear]

I would love to dive right into things like this but with limited funds because of the Pandemic I find myself becoming more and more miserable that I miss out on awesome stuff like this that I was able to afford not so long ago..

[@Prathik1989]

don't worry, personal finances come first! you'll be able to enjoy these things when everything goes back to normal soon, hang in there.

[@CesarIsaacPerez]

Those are awesome. But my favorite is Warhammer! Games Workshop makes the best plastic mini's and you get a couple of universes to play in and a lot of lore to get invested in.

[@berndeckenfels]

Are you painting them with Adam?

[@papalegba4449]

omg these are cool

[@xander9194]

I like your videos, please make more one day builds 👍

[@sythsisthron]

Any advice on the type of plastic you used I’ve been trying to make a figure myself I got 3-D printed figures but I need better plastic and I don’t know what plastic I should be using to make my prototypes i’m kind a new to this whole thing by the way you got excellent looking figures I hope mine look just as good As your does one day

[@teccotoys]

Hi Thomas, I'm using the Formlabs standard grey and white resins and their flexible resin for the rubber parts. I found those to work best for the prototypes.

[@Prathik1989]

@_@ I hope this gets funded! 10 days to go!

[@marinussnijder7941]

Hi Norm, 1.Can you ask Adam to redo his Swiss army display knife. Hé has got 16000+ reactions and its bugging the hell out of most watchers. 2. Great post.

[@ciraloke]

Heaps of resin kits available on chinese selling platforms at fraction of those costs . . although probs not (quite) as good/detailed as Industria Mechanika kits.

[@andy-in-indy]

1/35 scale is the same size as the Battletech animated series toys from Tycho.

pretty cool, but damn those are expensive. Im not shocked hes not going to reach his funding goal.

[@mlstiger]

What if it allows us to customize our own head? wouldn't that be cool?

[@theshockerpit7274]

Yes I will take 45 of everything

[@ogawesome6982]

[@TheModellingNews]

These are toys man

[@Mentocthemindtaker]

_Friggin' awesome_ toys! I sure as hell won't be letting my kids play with them!

[@Mentocthemindtaker]

@是我 Ah yes, spend $100+ on a figure only to have it broken by your child who doesn't know any better? You must be a very rich eastern parent that you can just throw money away like that.

[@Mentocthemindtaker]

@是我 Yes, I absolutely do buy them their own toys. But that's not what my original comment was about. I said I don't let them play with most of _my_ toys. They have their own toys to play with and break, but I don't spend hundreds of dollars on those toys; the children don't care how much they're worth.

[@Mentocthemindtaker]

@是我 I completely agree! Which is why they get an allowance, which allows them to buy their own items that cost more than what I might buy them. That way, if they break, they understand that if they want a replacement then they need to spend their own money. _Giving_ them expensive toys that they may break teaches them nothing. Especially if they break them and then give them another at no cost to them. That teaches them that it doesn't matter if they break, because they'll just be replaced. Only an irresponsible parent would do that.

[@neilgooge]

Sadly I can't see this making iot's funding. Its an example of way to niche and way to high a base goal. I don't think the goal is unreasonable, but it requires mass market appeal, and sadly, the nature of his KS video is... niche. That video applies to collectors and the geeks out there, and thats reflected by what he's raised. Had he got someone to produce a video worthy of his world, even with still images, a little flavor and atmosphere, I think he would have reached his goal... but as his video feels like someone talking about a model railway... sadly... nothing in it appeals to the more casual kind of buyer, you need if you want to make 400K euro funding goal and then start hitting stretch goals. Shame, because these are awesome...

[@vipermark7]

I agree. Such a beautiful set of designs. Six days left to go and less than half the required amount. It's such a shame it hasn't been promoted to a wider audience as it would have been great to see these out in the wild.

[@neilgooge]

@@vipermark7 Yeah for sure. I think it really goes to show how far good supporting material goes on a kickstarter and setting that realistic initial goal on your project. This really would have benefitted from some flavor and law in the video, not just a technical mannual on the bits. Something like that weta workshop big mech game. And I have no doubt these things are expensive to produce, but at that funding goal, he was clearly trying to produce a retail quantity, passed the kickstarter fullfilment... which meant... he hasn't even made his funding goal. And if thats what he wanted, the loop goes back too... it needs some flavor. Really is a shame. Hopefully he'll give it a second shot with an adjusted approach, as I do think he can get these made.

[@neilgooge]

@是我 Yeah for sure. I didn't end up backing this, I'm just not a toy collector. But had this been model kits, I very likely would have... I hope he gives it another shot with a new approach... they were very cool.

[@LuisMendoza-pp9qi]

They're very nice mechas.... However, it needs painting and weathering.. even just painting the details like warning decals, lines and chrome for the bolts makes all the difference in the world, please paint it!!!

[@theastrononeer1211]

Dang it's too bad the project only has nine days and needs about 300,000 dollars.

[@Mentocthemindtaker]

Back it anyway. If it fails you lose nothing.

[@perry92964]

the small one looks just like an arctic cheetah from mechwarrior the big one looks inspired by it as well but the scale is to small. there also doesnt appear to be any room for engines in these

[@crashandcynder]

I wish they were 1/25 rather then 1/35

[@arturmical]

Looks very similar to redemptor Dreadnaught/invictor warsuit from Games Workshop
