hey look mom! i'm on tv! all jokes aside, i'm so glad Star Saber got to you safely, hopefully he rests in your collection perfectly well. :D (edit: there is a slip of paper that described the flaws i picked up on in the bubble wrap, it must've gotten lost though, it's no biggie)

[@teeveeparty]

Wow, very generous of you!

[@kiokartoons]

​@@teeveepartythank you ^v^

[@jadenbissell2795]

thats nice of you giving the toy to a huge collector im proud of you dude

[@bearnaff9387]

Spudgers, the tool that defines Third Party figures. "This thing is 35 years old, things are going to start going wrong with the tiny fiddly internals..." Same, Star Saber, same.

[@NightmareZerogbs]

I hope to one day be "someone just casually gifted me a G1 Star Saber" levels of beloved.

[@cannonfodder4000]

19:44 Yup! Kunio Okawara was the designer on the first Gundam and many more, and he worked on Brave with the Takara boys Okawara didnt only work on Star Saber, he also designed some Headmasters like Scorponok and Hardhead

[@ElGordoBandito]

Huh, I never thought of that, but now that you mention it Scorponok does look very Gundam-y

[@vustvaleo8068]

Star Saber is almost like a prototype for Takara's Yuusha/Brave series robot in the 90's which are designed by Kunio Okawara who is the original designer for Gundam.

[@ryc03]

If you have not yet figure it out, to lock the jet into the V-fortress in vehicle mode, the main wings need to be vertical and not fully folded up, or the wings will prevent the jet from fitting snug into the lock position.

[@exillonred]

Star Saber is so cool! He's a personal holy grail, but he's so expensive in my country.

[@OtakuUnitedStudio]

I am pretty sure he's expensive in every country at this point. They really should do an Encore release of it.

[@ZimMan2]

Hell yeah, G1 Star Saber is a magnificent figure. The mask popping up is unfortunately very common, easy fix though, just put a little bit of poster putty on the underside somewhere to stick it to the little robot's head and you're golden.

[@HeresWhyItsCool]

I am SHOCKED at how happy I legitimately feel watching Thew unpack that Incredible STAR SABER!!!! What a treat, and to no one more deserving of such a fine gift.

[@kiokartoons]

i'm incredibly glad he enjoyed it, and even more so happy that his excitement rubbed off on others as well, that stuff makes me incredibly happy ^^

[@spacepawdyssey4288]

Agreed. It just feels so generous of the viewer and it clearly brought Thew joy.

[@coffeeinhandproductions3238]

That is an amazing grail figure. Gotta love the chunk/durability of the original G1 combining toys. Still big love for G1 Ultra Magnus, and Power Master Prime as they weren't much for the articulation/engineering but were still super fun to mess with.

[@GuzziHeroV50]

Re: Freezer and Novacaine. Novocaine is the anaesthetic injection you get at the dentist that freezes your mouth for tooth extraction. I guess its trying to invoke a dental horror vibe.

[@timothymoss5007]

Thew geeking out over Star Saber made my day.

[@trence5]

Wow, seeing G1 next to HasLab's modern Star Saber - makes me really appreciate modern day engineering.

[@RileyZilla1001]

How I got my Star Saber's head to stay down is I got a thin guitar pick and cut a tiny rectangle out of it. They you lighty wedge it where the spring is behind the head. It does make him look like a credit card is sticking out of his head though. Lol

[@nickbell8353]

DUUUUDE!!! I just started Transformers Victory, and to see you with a Star Saber, is just awesome!

[@crimsondynamo615]

For years I’ve been at a loss for words of what to call Star Saber’s jet mode, and here you come saying it’s very Gerry Anderson and it all makes sense.

[@olvacron22]

In the middle of Christmas chaos, in the middle of a hectic move, a Thew video is the perfect relaxation I need

[@zamiyaFlow]

Man if I ever received a random boxed Star Saber, no matter what has happened during the year, it would instantly make it best of my life

[@enderking5220]

getting scourge followed by nemesis got me thinking on evil optimuses, which naturally caused shattered glass to pop to my head, which then naturally caused a different thought to pop up... is there a "shattered glass nemesis prime"?...

[@sidbeckett5655]

Gonna need a Victory Leo, and before you know it you'll collecting Brave toys. One of us, one of us!!

[@Sharingan1989]

Thew got the grail of grails Japanese star saber!

[@masterfarr8265]

Here’s hoping someone sends him Victory Leo.

[@ComicCrossing]

Aww that Star Saber is aweseome. Id totally watch a video of you applying the stickers

[@michaellombardi1620]

Oh heck yeah, Star Saber!

[@lookingatanime]

I like how this releases as I get my Deathsaurus in the mail

[@cowboybarbaryn1302]

Honestly I remember his name as Counch Puntercounch more than I do his actual name. I think it’s less you not living that down and more that just being his name now.

[@awesomeguy9513]

They just revealed titan tidal wave and it looks amazing. They have the full titan robot but then he comes with a mini tidalwave to combine with megatron and it looks great.

[@OtakuUnitedStudio]

It is a bit baffling, he has smaller versions of his parts that hide inside his actual parts, so they can be removed and attached to Megatron. So like half his mass is just fake versions of his separate vehicles.

[@xavierhawpe2676]

Here’s hoping for christmassacre 2

[@jaws848]

Yes,Dino force combine into Dinoking and the six changer is great shot

[@skimp1974]

Your videos bring me joy.

[@masterfarr8265]

I feel like if they did Release Star Saber in Europe he probably wouldn’t have included the V Star and just gave you the jet

[@lampy5490]

Crumpets for breakfast? How very civilised!

[@LeoKearonMSc]

Love these Damnit Open

[@woebegone_kenobi]

Glad to hear about another fan from Iowa 😅😅

[@ReleeSquirrel]

I've been watching your shows for years, now. My BF is a transformers boi, I'm more of a fan of you. Your shows are great. I watch you and I watch Jobby the Hong and that's it? So different, great stuff. I'm writing because you showed that stuff from "Brandon from Canada" and I'm like, hang on? I know there's a bunch of folks who are REALLY INTO TRAINS WITH FACES but I think I've actually met Brandon at a convention once? He was making his own train show that was a crossover of all the train shows with his ocs and presenting it at a convention? Interesting fella. If you're out there, Brandon, keep helping make Canada Weird!

[@ciaranb662]

Aww Green Day: Novacaine I forgot about that song, when I'm finished watching I'm off to listen to American Idiot (Album) for the first time in years. Thanks Thew.

[@Matt-yv8ye]

"I could never be mad at a prime thats bad." Yup. Thats how I feel about literally every Nemesis repaint.

[@jadenbissell2795]

i seen that in person and im jelly as heck that you have it

[@henryalberts539]

Welcome to the club of people who have an original Star Saber, Thew! We're all lovely folks, if a bit posh.

[@TheSmart-CasualGamer]

I mean, you can't all be posh. Some owners must just be nostalgic Japanese people.

“Red titty windows” I laughed harder at this than I should’ve. As always Thanks Thew!

[@chazzking247]

Bizarre artwork... Bizarrt work

[@DragoonMS]

Huh?? Only Scourge theory I heard was that he was a Unicron corrupted Bayverse Optimus Prime. 🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️ If you still have it, maybe you oughta do a three-way comparison: G1 Starsaber (if he ain't that rare, why does there seem to be a billion KOs of him?), MP24 Starsaber (the REAL big beefy boi), and HasLab Starsaber (the WFC Trilogy style super-detailed McBeast).

[@ShaunStephens777]

Welcome to the G1 star saber owners club. Got mine last year 😊

[@kevinboutwell]

Aw yeah Dammit, Open!

[@pdycougars5508]

Was literally watching the haslab Star Saber video when you uploaded this!

[@t0xxical13]

I hadn't finished Victory before HasLab Deathsaurus was announced but now I wish I had gotten him and Star Saber lmao

[@pramusetyakanca1552]

*casually sits in the comment section, waiting for Thew to drop a video on the latest of the HasLab line*

[@ShinGallon]

I find it amusing that the G1 Star Saber's sword is bigger and more impressive than the Haslab version. God I miss chrome on mainline toys, it always elevated the figures so much.

[@_V.Va_]

It's a good thing everything else about HasLab SS himself is better.

[@lowellmartens6135]

Thanks Thew.

[@alimations9963]

Thew, brother, you need some lights in there, Love your videos, keep it up

Star Shaver brought to you by Manscaped.

[@JonathanRodd]

Thew, I love you, and I appreciate your minimalist approach to lighting, but you need to do something about the lack of lighting on your shelves in the background. In it's current state everything is just this grim depressing amorphous black shadow with tiny specks of other colors. I know it's the background, so its not supposed to pop more than you and whatever toy you're showing off in the video, but I feel like something needs to be done. A light pointed at the shelf, or strings of cheep LED's attached to the inside of the shelves, would do a lot to liven things up back there. I only offer this feedback out of respect. I love your videos, and I wouldn't presume to tell you how to do your job. It's just a little constructive criticism on the current lighting setup. :)

[@wyndblayde6103]

I gotta get that Nemesis Prime.

He’s wearing the Skywarp Pin I sent in!!! Really hoping that made the move, glad to see it still around!

[@stevebazin127]

Hey Thew! Great video as always! I know you're in a new space, but the new videos look a little murky. Some lights near the shelves in the back might make things look a little warmer. I don't know anything about lighting videos, but felt compelled to throw in my opinion anyways

[@OrgangrinderYT]

For the weird naming of Freezer and novocaine: unaliving people is a form of pain removal😝

[@GetHexedNerd]

And I was just saying how sad I was that Thew Didn't upload
