[@robexists]

Fun trivia, but Joe Johnson, who directed The First Avenger, designed The Iron Giant - and there was an early What If episode concept for a crossover between First Avenger and another Johnson Disney sci-fi movie set in a similar timeframe, The Rocketeer. So whether or not the Stomper was specifically designed after the Iron Giant, they were definitely keeping Johnson's aesthetics in mind.

[@jbirdcw187]

That's why I been getting Iron Giant vibes looking at it.

[@rossbarr-scragg4076]

Great factoid!

[@MADMONEYMAN5000]

If you've ever seen the show "Big Guy and Rusty the boy robot", that's what Hydra Stomper reminds me of.

[@mahoutsuguy863]

I thought the same thing.

[@KitbashCustoms]

I can here to make the same comment, and it indeed reminds me of that

[@patimusprime6636]

Came to say the exact thing. Just needs the arm pit machine guns

[@Rebelxstudios]

Wow, was gonna say I wished I could buy a second one to paint in Big Guy colors

[@PhoenixFyre]

My thoughts exactly.

[@mattw.433]

Robo's intros are top-notch entertainment of the highest quality.

[@Astrotelevision-pi3mg]

Yea your right

[@eevilmann30285]

I want a compilation of all of the intros

[@-Garviel_Loken-]

I just got this tho g. It’s huge! One thing I wish they would have done was make the parts that light up glow in the dark

[@bladerunner3314]

Could be wrong, but isn't that considered a heath risk nowadays? Like Kids chewing on their ML ...

[@sagehaba3421]

Nah they still have safe ways to do it, they have a few glow in the dark Lego pieces now

[@sagehaba3421]

Also a bit of glow in the dark paint could do that for you

[@-Garviel_Loken-]

@@bladerunner3314 not anymore unsafe than any paint they use. I have glow pigment that just mixes with a paint base

[@Orochi_001]

@@-Garviel_Loken- can a blast effect be inserted into the cannon without modification?

[@rajsharma2283]

9:00-9:03 *"THE BLAST-BACK, It's kinda charred from the PHWOOSHCKKK"* _-The Fwoosh_ 😆😂🤣🤣

[@toddtaylor6506]

You can easily see how people could do some cool mods to these and army build them as just an armored soldier unit that would fit in with sci fi military displays.

[@TheFwoosh]

Yup, all kinds of repaint options.

[@Kooster69]

In regards to the Watcher, I think Marvel missed a great opportunity in the Disney+ What If...? by not getting the rights to use "Every Breath You Take" by the Police. For Hasbro's Hydra Stomper, I personally want a version where I can take Steve Rogers in and out of it. And also a removable Tesseract (aka the Cosmic Cube).

[@bladerunner3314]

Some Japanese company will probably deliver in a year or so. For a hefty price tag, but avaiable, probably.

[@favoritemustard3542]

Simply remove his legs & insert! *_some disassembly required_*

[@meerkat9113]

As soon as I saw this I wondered "Can you put Captain Carter on the back??" Thank you for showing that! lol

[@TinyTacos618]

If Robo didn't point out that the Watcher was on the top left when it cuts to him showing his face, I would've been so clueless

[@TAKTAK_Toys]

I think this is the first time I’ve gotten a Legends figure here in the Uk at the same time as US Toy reviewers showcasing that same figure, great overview Robo as always! 👍 I really hope Hasbro give us a Wave 2 of What If figures 👍

[@estebancruz3519]

They have to if they said there’s a second season in the works so they’ve got to finish the current line

[@maggiethegoblin8130]

Maaaan this looks so cool. I love this aesthetic for an iron man armor, and that lineup shot with The Stomper, Iron Monger, and Hulkbuster? Oh that's beautiful.

[@cal7447]

1:18 WTF how have I never noticed that thing there 😂

[@joebueno5897]

I forgot about the toy truck Stompers! That took me back! Thanks Robo! Pencils! Lol!

[@thejmeister]

Yeah, I noticed while posing mine and watching this review that it was a real pain getting him to stand in a neutral pose. He needs his feet wider and his toes out to balance with being so top heavy, I think.

[@breadproductions6139]

I need that soundwave shirt. Great review as always!

[@Just_Plain_Steve]

Yes! Good way to start the day!

[@happiaxxident]

What If… Hasbro Didn’t Produce a Battle Damaged Repaint of The Hydra Stomper?

[@bjpalm1994]

Great review Robo! The possibilities of this figure have me super intrigued. The GI Joe ideas are cool and I could see it at as a Mandroid or something as well. Definitely need to grab a couple.

[@wills2140]

Fantastic review video! Alternate Iron Man armors are so cool and usually interesting. As a collector of mainly the transforming aeroplane mecha ( Robotech / Macross ) type figures, that problem of having a figure stand straight up ( non dynamic pose ) is very familiar. It is indeed mostly caused by having so much weight high up in the figure. For the Robotech and Macross toys, some manufacturers went with metal feet to give a little more stability and balance. Good idea to angle or rock the feet to add stability when doing standing poses. I will keep that in mind. Thanks!

[@veiledrecalcitrance4314]

HOLY SHIT!!! STOMPERS!!! I had utterly forgotten about them. Third grade, big deal, loved mine

[@tamashorvath224]

0:37 The Watcher is watching.

[@benreilly9513]

I think we found it, lads. This is it, the best Robo video intro across all of The Fwoosh.

[@toddtaylor6506]

This the Captain Carter and Zombie Cap are the What If. figs I want so far. They need to do a Steve Rogers fig from this story .... Stompers were great .. they were a really hot toy when I was a kid ... everyone wanted them.

[@willyski0223]

... Why so many (...)? ...

[@JayloFerrer]

That opening got me laughing so hard! 🤣🤣🤣

[@joshbare4828]

The Watcher always watches!

[@glassjar7814]

What If has been one of the biggest surprise amazing shows in recent memory

[@egomaster06]

The original Stomper trucks were my favorite. Wish they would bring them back

[@ALIENROBOTSRULE]

I feel like someone out there is going to custom this into a DC S.T.R.I.P.E.

[@JasperForge]

it's me, I'm going to do that now. Thanks for the great idea

[@npatil85]

Damn right

[@infernumies6063]

i think you should paint the watcher space colors and have him floating in the background of reviews

[@muhammadhabibieamiro3639]

Another amazing review

[@christophermacias4114]

Hey robo just saw your review and loved it. i wanted to ask are you going to do more fortnite figure reviews and have you gotten the league of legends thresh 6inch figure because i want to see that review from you lol. anyways great review as always and keep up the great work 👍

[@TheFwoosh]

I'll probably do more Fortnite when I get the new Hasbro offerings. Haven't gotten Thresh, I actually forgot all about that. Hmmmm.

[@christophermacias4114]

Oh ok cool and yeah just got thresh the other day and i love it. goes good on any display. anyways have a good day and keep up the reviews

[@youcantalwaysgetwhatyouwan8419]

I’d sort of drawn a line through marvel legends collecting but honestly, this what if stuff may keep me hanging on. Probably going to pop out in the morning to buy one of these guys in spite of its issues.

[@aftonfam9951]

Hydra:why do they call it the hydr- BOOM Hydra stomper:that's why

[@chosen-wan2188]

0:03 me: Crying while I'm Opening my Wallet Slowly

[@wraith1701]

All the cool kids know that Rough Riders > Stompers. “🎶 rough riders, 4x4; You can try to stop’em!”

[@InkDropCustoms]

Got mine on the way…. Looks like the same inner frame as the Iron Monger….I’ll add lights to this also….

[@KieranBraithwaiteMusic]

Please do more size comparisons with Wrestling action figures, I absolutely love this review.

[@scottalynch]

I preordered Captain Carter and the Hysra Stomper figures. I do plan on adding chips to the stomper paint job

[@vortexspinner4470]

Looks like a Sherman Tank mated with a MK1 Iron Man suit. Cool!!

[@itsgeekbeat]

So glad you compared him with Iron Monger.

[@NovaToymation]

Pretty badass figure 🤘

[@michaelshupp970]

"They could roll over pencils" 👍😂

[@kimimarobonez]

wish this looked a little grungier, like it came fresh out of stomping several hydra heads. otherwise, pretty cool figure

[@Bustlerdraws308]

i see him, i see the watcher. these are fun to look for

[@blackphoenix77]

I didn't know that this was out! I wish they would've had a tiny Steve Rogers figure that could go inside of it.

[@ThatGuyStephen-zx7pc]

Ok found the first video with the watcher upside down third video with him in it damn that took me awhile

[@GuyWebz]

Once I get mine I’m definitely doing a heavy black or brown wash all over the suit and adding the realistic weathering scuff marks

[@GeneralRasp]

Loved that intro!

[@daniellenihan9832]

Thanks for the review. First very jealous cause mine will not stand, but your review helps. And ya he is literally a tank in human style!!! Still love it, love the big figs!! Looking forward to the Mcfarlane swamp thing!!!!👍😁

[@MrLauther]

Hey! What's the best online store to buy and preorder SH Figuarts to be send worldwide ? Have you made a video about it ? I could really use some help with it, i want some Star Wars essentials.

[@wIzKid16100]

Why is the watcher looking at me lol 😂

[@lorim667]

I’m still laughing at your into. 😂. Being that I’m a robot collector and A marvel fan this is definitely being added to the collection!

[@Baconlovesreddead]

THATS A MASSIVE BOX, GOD!!

[@Getwright-]

You saw Iron giant in his design Robo, i keep seeing The Big Guy from Big Guy and Rusty the boy Robot. I want one to paint white and blue

[@MADMONEYMAN5000]

I was thinking the same thing. I think it resembles Big Guy more than the iron giant myself.

[@legitnessify]

I can’t express how much I love this thing. The character and the figure. I’m in love and can’t wait to own it.

[@simplystarwars1893]

When are we gonna get a Marvel Legends display review!

[@mysticfetus2062]

This would make a great custom S.T.R.I.P.E

[@TheFwoosh]

Oooo, that's a good idea!

[@The_Rage_Kage]

Aw I was hoping for a size comparison next to the 80th Hulk. I feel like the Hydra Stomper would make a good base for a Hulkbuster.

[@lucarocks7866]

I always thought HS was based on the Rocketeer. He looks a lot like him.

[@TheGrayHuntsman]

I need this for my avengers WWII Desplay.

[@masterofunlocking86]

I hope for wave 2 they make that sick infinity stone ultron deluxe figure and gamora thanos armor.

[@boeingnz]

Scope dog Inspire for the legs parts I think.

[@bry_o]

I replayed the intro so many times 🤣

[@Peterjameslewis69]

Tempted to pick this up to repaint it, is it a glossy plastic or is it more a flat matt finish to the plastic?

[@johnathan07sanford99]

I have a question about how you got it did you just order it because I don't know if it's different for any other stores but on GameStop it says it won't come until like 2022

[@PsychoWerekitsune]

When you were commenting on why the chest parts are a separate piece, I half expected mid-way through the review for you to accidentally end up opening it to reveal a scrawny Steve Rogers figure inside.

[@favoritemustard3542]

**_Toy Prize Inside!_**

[@adelmoveloso_]

Wow! This figure is amazing!

[@notmerc1315]

The Watcher is upside down nowww. hehaha

[@drewlovelyhell4892]

It would look great painted. I've never seen "What If", but I'd be tempted to get the Hot Toys version. Gives me a "Big Guy and Rusty the Boy Robot" vibe. Oh.. they screwed up by not making it scale with Cap Carter.. tsk.

[@JamesSullivan3]

I just noticed the watcher in the left corner

[@ZorroFox-do9oe]

Would work better next to the 3.75" marvel or gi joe action figures

[@riverturtle2855]

Because “Wyatt” why not got me at the end

[@PunkMetalero9666]

now I just wish they would've actually made a proper Mark-1 Iron Man w/Tony Stark for that MCU 10 years line

[@EggChen6DemonBag]

Yeah I want to get this for my Joes!

[@soundwave1a]

Maybe the GI Joe 3 3/4 inch figures might be a good scale to use w/the Hydra Stomper?

[@someguy7567]

I just watched the last episode of What If...? so i'm still thinking about it.

[@Chef326]

Did anyone notice the Watcher in his last few reviews 😂

[@packlesswolf1]

Can you do Diamond Select Hulk buster? I think you'll like it.

[@mintgod5338]

Nice Soundwave shirt

[@dr.spideywartz7571]

I’m hoping to use these for general Ross hulk busters

[@danielmedina6490]

This figure is SOOOOOOO DOPE!!!!

[@stijnVDA1994]

hi, is there a 3rd party company that offers the normal sized blast effects, i already ordered the figure but i don't really want to order other figures for the effects..

[@ridhwan5]

Reminds me of S.T.R.I.P.E with Star girl from DC.

[@npatil85]

Stripesy

[@mcrmaza]

Reminds me of those Willys Jeeps.

[@ToddJumper]

Would be awesome to customize this up with battle damage, burn marks and so forth.

[@RandomStuffGarage619]

I might need 3. Reveal (clean) End of episode (hello from brooklyn) *******massive spoiler******** LAST WARNING THE WINTER STOMPER

[@TheShadowMaster64]

I really wish we got a small steve using the ultimate spiderman body.

[@bladerunner3314]

Leave it to Figuarts to probably reveal a HS in a year or two in almost the right size for 400 bucks - like they did with the Hulk Buster.

[@MerlinMAVK]

This + the Captain Carter figure were the only things I wanted from the What If? run....until I saw the Dr. Strange episode (getting him too).

[@macoto7976]

Was hyped for this but seeing the balance issues I cancelled my preorder. Great looking design though

[@rolandkatsuragi]

4:23 Well that's a relief.

[@impossiblepie]

So at the end of the day I'm not paying $80cad for this, to bad because it looks good.

[@gesie0504]

this design reminds me of *THE IRON GIANT*

[@johngonzalesdtx]

I was hoping for a "is it worth paying$50" review as well

[@anthonypalo8191]

thats a good looking figure!

[@Tsetse-l7l]

Still on the fence about buying this figure

[@cfnails]

That watcher caught me off guard

[@cfnails]

How long as it been here ? As it been here ever since the beginning of channel and have we been blind ?

[@Doodles68]

Just bought one of these...and a Capt. Carter.

[@kieranriley1624]

Iv got this figure and it was exactly the same at the torso and the left leg

[@HalCG]

Aw man, I really want that figure but I can’t afford it because it’s almost 100 bucks in my country

[@artwittoyz6859]

Hologram Iron man greatness!
