Dammit, Open: Bizarre Box Bonanza! Transformers, Gundam, and weird fandom unboxing!

[@myoldhandlewasmadewheniwas9]

5:35 peep Thew humming the NGE theme. It never leaves your head, man

[@ghanighetok]

Oh boy REDLINE, you sir are a man of great taste. one of the few anime I'd actually recommend to the general public. it's like Speed Racer on crystal meth.

[@BWxEclipse]

Thew: ‘I’ll give anime a try’ Matt: *’I’m about to end this man’s whole career’*

[@danmccarthy4700]

I think the song stuck in your head is "I'm With You" by Avril Lavigne but I could be wrong.

[@Kyrasis]

It totally is.

[@SteelAngelJohn]

Yeah it is.

[@No1mattdunn]

Or cheers (drink to that) by Rihanna

[@Kyrasis]

@@No1mattdunn Woah, that sampling

[@Predalien001]

Your right

[@ChaosWolf1982]

The weirdest thing about that T-AI hotspring figure? It's actually official Hasbro-produced merchandise, and also is the ONLY official Hasbro-produced merchandise of the character...

[@wyattearp1886]

" I do question weather or not this is enough energon for a full scale assault." Love it!

[@Cybusmaster92]

5:19 The reference is that Dan Gilvezan voiced Spider-Man in 1981 before he appeared as Bumblebee in '84. He also returned to voice Spider-Man 2099 in the 2010 video game 'Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions'.

[@jelgerbudding8140]

Bingedrinking whiskey? I hear a ten shots ten bots 😂 Love to see an old fashioned Beatdown again. But damn, the Dammit Open vids are my favorite

[@tehpaws]

Geez, those are some classic old Gundam action figures right there. They came out in that super tiny window in the US when Gundam was showing on Toonami and Bandai of America was bothering to release toys. I've got a load of those tucked away in a box somewhere.

[@Holy_Moly69]

"Quite *BULGEY* in the center" -thew 2019

[@drakecooley4776]

at first I read that as quite Bugley like what package has a basic trumpet transformer?!?! XD

[@Cypher8462]

[@binarydonkey384]

The song in your head is "I'm with you" by Avril Lavigne. May or may not be embarrassed by how quickly I recognized it.

[@toygrind]

Haha cheers! Turns out the song I was thinking of was Cheers by Rihanna, which uses s sample from the song you mentioned. Thank you so much I can finally sleep

[@sambutler953]

Thew: (through my headphones) No messages, just pure plastic action! Me: (out loud, alone in my home, with only my two dogs in the room) "Plaction?"

[@lanoche]

8:58 it's called sleeves lol. As an old Yugioh and Pokemon player, it made me chuckle when Thew just outed himself as a non-card gamer lol.

[@ElGordoBandito]

Aaaah the Wreck n Rule boys representing for the TCG gang! Love them!

[@BlitzkriegOmega]

Gundam Nerd here: RX-79[G] Gundam Ground Type. Which was basically leftovers of Project V cobbled into a workable MS. There were also GMs made similarly. Heavyarms Kai ver. Endless Waltz. Basically Heavyarms in the movie. A different Mecha designer did the movie designs than the guy who did the TV designs.

[@swivelboiiguess6422]

Didn't Katoki do the EW designs

[@grimmestcreaper2212]

BlitzkriegOmega my man.

[@rjgd4626]

As far as EVA goes, it's not that it gets bad later on...it just gets abstract. Either you're into arthouse stuff or you're not and Evangelion, by the end, all comes down to how you interpret it. And the awkward teenage nudity gets far more awkward when you know the spoilers about Rei 🤢

[@KJF-ny]

Is that the Rei in your mind, or the Rei in my mind?

[@BlitzkriegOmega]

Also Netflix fucked up the subtitles pretty badly. it's too literally translated, which makes the show lose a lot of its emotional impact as well as the relationship between Shinji and [REDACTED].

[@rjgd4626]

@@KJF-ny then what is your hand for?

[@TekuJames]

I imagine he wouldn’t like EoE...

5:39 That was me!!! You made a lot of people very happy Thew, with gratitude!!!! :)))))

[@CreativeNameSMH]

When there's something i can't close: DAMNIT, CLOSE Someone more than likely already made that joke

[@AntagonistChan]

God, the moment I saw the little rocks, I knew where that T-AI thing was going, and I just audibly went "Oh no" Sometimes, endlessly perusing tfwiki curses you with knowledge you wish you could forget.

[@Lilithksheh7723]

I *did* forget about that damn thing. Until he showed the bath bit.

[@MrFedoraFilm]

7:30 That's not enough for a full scale assault XD. 13:39 the Wheeljack colored Energon Downshift! 16:26 Megatron easer?

[@versebuchanan512]

7:35 that one little movie reference made me smile so fucking much. I now need tiny energon cubes for the TF shelf across from my Zeon Mobile Suit Shelf

[@MrRe-pg7fj]

Yeah that’s the MSIA Heavyarms custom from Endless waltz. And the other gundam is the Ground Gundam from the 08 MS team.

[@SteelAngelJohn]

Two of my favourites :D

[@stamariagerardjimelsolano8146]

You mean the Gundam Ground Type?

[@caffeinedelusions]

Those cards aren't stuck to anything. They've been sleeved for their protection. It makes them easier to keep in good condition, and a lot easier to shuffle without bending.

[@caffeinedelusions]

'ultra pro' is the name of the most likely manufacturer. They're kinda the biggest name in Trading Card Game support paraphernalia.

[@TheRX1982]

Rx78-G ground type Gundam from 8th MS team and the Heavyarms custom ver EW

[@woogha]

I actually received the same mini statue as a gift and no one will accept it as a gift themselves. On the plus side I always assumed the thing would have been larger.

[@mikeisernie]

....thats what she said!

[@Daedalus-BC308]

I just recently sent out a box for you and was hoping that it would be in this video, but you decided to take a look at the smaller ones. Ah, what am I complaining, It probably showes up in the next "Dammit, Open!".

[@arttalkwithmr.s6703]

The song you’re thinking of is called either ‘Damn cold night’ or ‘I’m with you’ I believe

[@heirofthedog1]

Ahh the 80's breakfast cereal "dog bowl"! 😂🤣

[@SigmAnalog]

Ohhhh, baby, you are gonna _love_ Redline. It's brash and crazy and completely unapologetic about how it really is just _entirely_ about the music and animation. It's a whole lotta gorgeous nonsense for nonsense's sake, and I think you're gonna take to it like a suicidal rockabilly to a nitrous-fuelled four-digit-horsepower death race muscle car.

[@drakesterX]

Best username you’ve seen in your life?!? You are way to kind my man!!!

[@brentc2411]

That gundam with all the doodads is from Gundam 8th MS Team, if you're going to watch a gundam series, that's a great one, much more grounded than the others, and it's a pretty short series too

[@toppynoppy2873]

Sweet! That's a cool deck. Thundercracker is pretty strong in this game.

[@BrookIynRage]

Holy shit, that spy changer mirage was one of the first things my brother and I got on a whim before we got hard into collecting.

[@mylogic155]

5:35 I believe that is a cruel angels thesis, the main theme to Evangelion

[@tronlives1004]

13:00 That is the ground Gundam from 08th Ms team

[@ZetZatar]

“Bulgy in the center”? -relatable

[@shaldurprime7154]

ive got a vintage transformers thermos, but where there should be red there is yellow for some reason, i don't know it that error makes it more or less valuable

[@13chainer]

The one Gundam is rx79 and the other is the heavy arms from endless waltz

[@riicky83]

I have that Custom Heavy arms, can't remember if he has all his pieces. I also have the regular version to go with it and I also have Death scythe Hell but I believe it's missing a few pieces.

[@thanhlamnguyen6869]

You got your hands on the rare T-AI statue?! Impossible. Oh! And by the way, did you know it was design by the same person who drew Kiss Players?

[@zuttoaragi8349]

Makes a lot of sense. And like Kiss Players, Western Transformers fans freak the hell out about it.

[@nikostsalpouris5314]

Evangelion dosent necessarily get worse just weirder

Right? The subsequent final arc of that series was batshit weird!!!

[@probablyyourneighbororsome8412]

8:00 I think the song your thinking of is Cheers by Rihanna

[@CallieBlader]

i feel like i'm the only one who likes the power core combiners. sure i would love if the limbs actually become bots, and the whole 2 legs and two arms could be gone, but it was a neat idea. although, it does give me plenty of material to work with when coming up with better versions...

[@kabuto1859]

The Thunderhoof figure is a happy meal toy

[@optimalhazza]

A transformer, that looks like a Borg. Borgformers, assimilators in disguise.

[@lorcannagle]

As soon as that letter said "Car Robots" and "Weirdest official Takara product" I knew it was going to be that damned collection figure

[@everythingintherain5503]

Lorcan Nagle could you give an official name of the figure? For research 😅

[@lorcannagle]

@@everythingintherain5503 It's from the 2004 KT Figure collection, a series of 6 blindpacked boxed figures - There's a bust of Optimus Prime with an opening chest cavity that houses the Matrix, in colour and grey. Figures of Rumble and Frenzy in action poses with their arms as piledrivers, a diorama of Devastator tearing through a wall to face Hot Rod and Arcee, and... T-AI in a pool with Optimus Prime peeping on her. They were also sold in a collection box of all six.

[@mentalspartan5598]

2:42 belle Delphine reference

[@Thumnal]

What I find funny is all this Megatron art work stuff after you did the g1 megs review

[@rigelandreoli3617]

Oh gawd, the song is an Avril Lavigne one... your 'yeah yeahs' jogged that particular memory loose.

[@skullheart3939]

The one Gundam figure is from a series called 08th MS team. If you were to start watching a Gundam series, I'd say that one. Very military based. No super crazy anime antics.

[@KristofferEk]

Redline is worth it for petrol heads. Also careful with Caliburst. (transblue minicon that goes with pcc huffer.) his hips are not strong. my one snapped and I'm sad cause he is a really good little minicon.

[@firefightromantic]

First off, I have to say that I LOVE THAT SHIRT! Converge rulez!! As usual, you brought a smile to my mug(HA! see what I did there, referencing '80s dinnerware!) and made me chuckle....there's never a dull moment with you, Thew. Keep on killin' it, and I'll keep on chuckling. Cheers, mate!

[@samburnham2758]

I think that song is ‘I drink to that’

[@TheDalto24]

I FOUND THAT SAME GROUND GUNDAM TOY A BIT BACK IN A B TOY BIN!

Heck yes for WrecknRule

[@ryancarrell3186]

i heard the first few notes of A Cruel Angel's Thesis somewhere in there.

[@mechanwhal6590]

There's something unsettling about erasers that kinda bothers me. It's a solid object, right? But you know that simply by being used it will eventually disintegrate into Thanos dust.

[@MrDoctorVK]

Well that was whole lot of giggle in such tiny boxes. And about that RID2001 related thing; that was T-AI though pronounced as "tie". Surely, you would have looked TF Basics vid about 2001RID by now to know some of this, just assuming.

[@partymonster411]

The song you're thinking of is Cheers by Rihanna

[@copperhead577]

Oh, how I've missed this!

The first Gundam was the RX-79 Ground Type.

[@alphaaufa1890]

OMG I never notice his head is now full of hair until he pointed it out how long has that been going on

[@TheRX1982]

Was that a cheeky hum of "Transform higher" by next of kin there Thew?

[@philrk]

The Song is I'm with you by Avril Lavigne

[@rexdrag56]

Nice Redline is my favourite animated film I really wish there was some kind of series based on it, also Evangelion does fluctuate wildly as it goes on but for all intents and purposes it's a great anime. If you want something that starts one way and ends another try Akira.

[@Skullgrin140]

Redline is totally off the hook!

[@KittenRaptor]

Is Energon Downshift based on a can of Quatro? Showing my age there...

[@LunaticPrime]

I've examined pictures of the inappropriate diorama figure but I couldn't see anything that should be pixelled out. What is it? 14:03 I love this thing so much. Still have to paint him... like so many figures... like AoE Slog he's riding on =P I really like this kind of video but I would appreciate some more reviews a lot, too.

[@zuttoaragi8349]

Most people are skeeved out simply by cleavage.

[@samwatson-tayler2805]

Is the song you were thinking of ”drink to that” by Rihanna?

[@johnheater6697]

I think the first gundam is a Ground Gundam? The one with all the guns and stuff that's more realistic from 08th MS Team I think

[@TyphonMar]

Evangelion does get weird but the movie End of Evangelion makes up for the last couple episodes. On another note, I'll have to send something to your PO box some day

[@JacobdeFries]

YES on Redline. It's so good....
