[@NightmareZerogbs]

I have a rule of not spending too much on any figure unless it's a Transformer, but hot. damn. This robot OOZES charisma!

[@Zabyatta]

Design: Cool, dynamic looking multi-purpose mechanoid. Articulation: Oh my bleeping gawd. Size: Really decent desk toy size. Accesories and features: Awesome, but negligible LED eyes. No accesories is kind of a bummer. Price: A worthwhile 60 US$ I'm sold.

[@SeanCrosser]

"V-crotches don't move like T-crotches" Hazard a guess on which one Vangelus has

[@Isteak80]

I was skimming the comments hoping that someone said something about this.

[@GuardianAngelX72]

This figure does not just tick the aesthetic boxes, it fondles them in a way unfamiliar yet welcome. I swear I can hear my wallet cursing your name for making me aware of this, but its dark chanting falls on deaf ears as I hover over the pre-order page. Seriously, for $60 preorder this is amazing.

[@Stavekoff]

The individual fingers and the human looking toes are freaking me out

[@Vangelus]

If it helps at all, the other version up for preorder has flat boot-style toe pieces

[@Stavekoff]

Vangelus yeah it definitely does

[@quinoreal]

Vangelus I honestly liked the toes

[@releasednine3659]

This action figure robot looks LIT

[@shadowscribe]

This is an awesome step in indie-toys. I hope more designers out there get this opportunity. I saw this when I was about to start digging for a Studio Series Thundercracker, but this guy deserves that money more. He and his... 'friend'.

[@lazerwaffle5863]

good , now i can finally have a robot who can pose like a jojo's bizarre adventures character ( don't judge me )

[@rkbrillant5265]

lazerwaffle no judgement here, dude *aiiaiaaaay* [poses like an Aztec god]

[@cdwizzerd]

i judge that you’re a pretty rad dude

[@GrimLocke161]

I’m also getting hints of Bubbuki Buranki and Basquash.

[@fishpop]

Appropriate music: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jobLh3alidh1l68

[@jetfire851]

That's a really Roundabout way to make a Jojos reference.

[@dtorrey867]

Change the blue and the orange the black and green and you've got a badass looking Metallo!

[@eligonzales186]

Liking the articulation on this one

[@PeterPan-oh5zt]

Wow very cool. We need more fingerarticulated figures. Most figures are cheap articulated if you are not paying very high prices. There are some high articulated (40+points) less expensive figures but often they cannot even hold something or have lose joints. But this one...wow looks very good!

[@GoldenWhistle]

amazing, the finger

[@spacewarsfight281]

SO, MANY ,POSES!!

[@thomasr.1556]

Na ist das mal Geil! Genauso stelle ich mir Spielzeug vor! Danke für die trolle Demonstration.

[@romesrepublic]

This figure looks awesome! I can't wait to have it in hand. I actually like the direction they went with the ankle articulation.

[@aines_world1614]

This is art.

[@stupid9533]

I can see making an awesome cyborg Hulk with this.

[@markye1872]

Yeah.......I'm going to need one.

[@Dotpsych]

Great vid +1 sub because of the “hhrrrughh!”s when messing with the camera lol 🤣

[@tonyvelocity9651]

Holy butts. He looks really badass. Nice big articulated bruiser bot. Might have to pull the trigger on a preorder now.

[@sbushido5547]

That thing's pretty amazing. Looking at the closeups on their website, I can't help but think that the head is kinda what a skull might look like if you made it...cute. Something to do with the mouth/cheek area.

[@crossbones8956]

Duuuuuuude. I haven't seen a review form you in a year! So happy to see this! Fantastic review!!!!

[@Nomadunlimited]

will go with my awesome weathered,metallic repaint

[@ramandikaadnanta9526]

With that amount of articulation in the hands, I'm surprised you aren't doing a flipping bird pose

[@Modo1984]

I did the look of this figure! Seriously wicked aesthetic; functional, but brutal! Now that I think about it, this guy would fit right in with the cast of Overwatch.

[@releasednine3659]

Imagine as a real life robot but to control him on your mobile device as the same size and detail as the figure itself

[@adamroquemore6410]

this has got to be the second-best articulated hand design ive ever seen, second only to SoC GaoGaiGar.

[@2007suprasport]

It's a must have, the fig is amazing! Great review

[@endertron3282]

I felt in love with this toy

[@thefatman69dude]

yeah this is a must buy for me. you can move the fingers!!! thus figure looks amazing

[@bjpalm1994]

Awesome!! I'm seriously thinking about pre-ordering these. They look like some fun figures!

[@dunkanbulk14]

Last time i was here early, Channel Awesome had more producers

[@rorylumley4727]

dunkanbulk14 they have 2 or 3 now i dont know if doug is still with them my guess is larry bundy jr. Will be the last one as im thinking no one will be fired and he wants to be the last one.

[@PinieNox]

I forgot that he was on their site until i saw he left

[@snukastyle]

They pretty much have team Nostalgia Critic and Cinema Snob. Everyone else jumped ship.

[@DRDINGBOBBLE64]

That looks like if the Milano spacecraft from the guardians of the galaxy movie, was a transformer

[@excavenger3451]

This thing looks amazing and I love it.

[@oshayoshay4514]

I really like its design much more if they make a version 2 of this toy Much love to give :)

[@ZimMan2]

this looks so cool. and at 60 bucks, about on par with most tamashii figures. hope they do reasonably well so the designers can play around with more body types in the same style.

[@romesrepublic]

ZimMan2 the figure is sold out almost everywhere.

[@dhemong]

look badass!!

[@t-kozy39]

Optimal Optimus is looking different

[@graefx]

....yup gotta buy it.

[@michaelmclaughlin4590]

I really want to see what other originals these guys are going to make down the pipeline.

[@gagecrawley6223]

Maybe now I can use this figure as the original Box from Alpha Flight.

[@rickytoddbotelho9555]

This one looks fun. Fifty bucks is high for a startup. But I can see why these guys would make a go of it. Very good design. But for me, they got to send me one for free or for ten big ones. I got other things to spend money on. Like another clone commando.

[@jamesgouldsmith4221]

A) any chance of a Micronauts Biotron repaint? B) in showing it with other figures, don't think that this only appeals to 6" collectors. A *LOT* of 18th collectors will love this if you want to let them know about it so you can take their money.

[@beneckersley17]

I need this.

[@bonfire1127]

I need one no I need all of them

[@nicholassilva3028]

Looks like a better version of the robot from judge dredd. Any word on if there will be a blacked out version or metallic plastic version. These make for good generic robots.

[@dunkanbulk14]

Reminds me more of Beast Machines Primal

[@nicholassilva3028]

dunkanbulk14 that too!

[@RoyFokker93]

There is a black version that is going to be released alongside this one.

[@nicholassilva3028]

RoyFokker93 just checked it out. I like the second one even more. The feet are a selling point for me. The second one has more boot like robot feet as opposed to the humanoid toes this one has. I wonder, once they come out, if there will be accessories and swappable parts.

[@RoyFokker93]

The creator hinted at that posting pictures of one of the figures using accesories from a transformer figure, but nothing has been stated.

[@TerryTurner]

Wow!!!😮

[@navigatorhat]

Sweet design and outrageously great articulation. That mechanical detail is however begging for panel line wash and a little dry brushing.

[@warbro22]

I cant be the only who feels it may be partly inspired by the Terran marine from Starcraft right?

[@michaelclickard6264]

I think there's a good possibility to coustomize this into Papyrus from Undertale.

[@tera783]

Looks like something that fights with a robot controlled by hugh jackman

[@tristen-w1p]

Nice reference did you know Thor, the wasp, and wolverine were in reel steel?

[@bgcorporation]

Holy shit, I ... completely forgot you did these man. I watched you a whole lot on TGWTG and then you disappeared. Whatever happened to that podcast you did? That was awesome.

[@bgcorporation]

Found it! And subbed

[@R3dMatador]

I must buy it! No! I have to hold back! D:

[@slimebuck]

the chest is a straight copy of the design of robo cain from robo cop 2

[@RHR199X]

a body BM megatron would fight Primal in

[@superjam18]

Where's our little smartmouthed commentor?

[@Vangelus]

The Subtitles charge a premium to appear anywhere outside of reviews and I won't cowtow to highway robbery

[@imhatepie]

Glad it's gone 2bh. Distracting.

[@VulpisFoxfire]

Toy Notch with Toy Forge? Shouldn't this be more...cubic-looking, then? :-)

[@dethkruzer]

That thing totally should have a rocket-punch gimmick. Like just look at that forearm, doesn't it looks like it's just supposed to fly across the room to squash some poor chumps head into paste agaisnt the wall?

[@romulomartins3813]

I want this figure sooooo much! But i cant find it, neither the files to print it

[@KafeiAle]

Are you going to do some other cross dimension stuff other than thunder erebus?

[@comradeseagull7748]

I wish I could get one but they’re still sold out ;-;

[@TheLukemcdaniel]

This looks like a cross between Megabyte and Optimus Primal...

[@ivyoh6078]

yo, Chris, buddy!, i have not ever asked; where do you get all your music from- like background music, intro, and the outtro

[@cdwizzerd]

cool toes

[@Hipojak]

That's amazing! Any idea what the price point is/will be?

[@colmheron893]

I know this is a test shot, but how is the plasic quality?

[@Vangelus]

The test shot felt like good plastic, and I hope that is maintained going into production

[@MohamedAli-ij4ko]

Is this a jojo reference?

[@JohnJohn-yl4ko]

Apollo has no weakness

[@JohnJohn-yl4ko]

It's Star Platinum and The World

[@brothersgt.grauwolff6716]

This looks like a Boomer from the anime series Bubblegum Crisis 😆

[@generaltoast4937]

Me want

[@mikestion4629]

hmm

[@devinweathers7520]

I am SOLD I WANT TO BUY THEM ALL

[@AverageEight986]

I'm the 600 like

[@waspshot23]

dayamn

[@isuckatusernames4297]

How big is he in cm

[@Vangelus]

Just under 19cm, eyeballing it with a tape measure

[@pixelprime5908]

Number one how much does it cost number two do they have it in red the number 3 where can I get it

[@Fenrek]

1 - $60 2 - Not yet but they will be adding more characters and colors in future. 3 - toynotch.com/shop/

[@FireBomberBassist]

The-Dapper-Scrapper $60 holy shit. I might wanna get this guy.

[@madmachanicest9955]

This toy is crazy posabul and it looks cool but that not enoff .

[@psycho_dictator]
