Michael's First Hasbro Pulse Stream - Indiana Jones (Never Again)

[@trentrolfingsmeier]

Congratulations to Hasbro for mimicking a real toyline.

[@texasbeast239]

*whoosh-POW*

[@freakshowfilmfestival3591]

You didn't enjoy the knockoff imaginext Indiana Jones? Lol

[@jasone7532]

They've been doing that with their own properties for a while. It's kind of like a defunct band playing their greatest hits with almost none of the original members on their third farewell tour.

[@moknbyrd]

Yeah. Done with Hasbro. Their toys suck worse than ever. Of course, I was raised on GoDaiKin and such, so....AND the company is garbage.

[@J-T-A]

OK, that toy whip looks like baby's first S&M roleplay toy...

[@TroyPacelli]

Dude, you just won the internet for the day!

[@kba702]

So it wasn't just me having that reaction.

[@cyberfrank-bx2nv]

Barbies, no wonder, just their thing. how sarcastic can they be? torturing the collectors.

[@jamessaltzburg9549]

Jason you are priceless

[@TimHayes]

LOL you always have to be a bit naughty dude!

[@jamesdlin7]

Hasbro: Belloq in a suit is boring. We need more ceremonial versions! Also Hasbro: We need more versions of Indiana Jones in suits!

[@Chalor.]

Hahaha. I totally read that as if you weren't being sarcastic, nor seeing you were saying that as hasbro. Yeah, call me crazy, but I'd really be only interested in Belloq in their quintessential white suit and fedora. As elaborate as it is, the idea of only getting them in the ceremonial garb is on par with only getting Indy in the Arab garb.

[@BrappyHour]

You know Hasbro has confidence in their products when they disable comments.

[@Smiley-.]

I don't think it's they aren't confident in their products. I think the problem is there's to many aholes in the comments who ruin it.

[@haydentcem]

@@Smiley-.Yeah. I remember all the toxic mfs on PulseCon 21 posting derogatory shit when a Japanese man was speaking his own language

[@crazyrabbits]

@@Smiley-. - If there are "too many aholes" disparaging a product, the company should be asking themselves why that's happening and how they can move on it, instead of shutting their eyes and ears and pretending such criticism doesn't exist. Hasbro, as a whole, has been doing the exact same thing with their MTG lines -- putting out tone-deaf marketing and PR statements and only responding when the fanbase is in the process of melting down. Something tells me their marketing department has been gutted and these are the only PR reps left in the joint.

[@Smiley-.]

@@crazyrabbits I'm not talking about the criticism. I'm talking about the people posting derogatory things and death threats in the comments. It's one thing to criticize and it's another to send death threats and racist shit..

[@TimHayes]

They can't take criticism of any kind and are being pussy babies!

[@GreyHulk2156]

Okay, so it has to be done... To paraphrase Crocodile Dundee: "That's not a whip. THAT's a whip!"

[@jeremylemings]

Impressive whip skills at the end. As for the pulse stream, looks like Hasbro's trying to lock down that 'Dumpster fire of the year' award really early this year.

[@Believer1980]

Either that, or they think Indy 5 is going to be huge and want to get a head and ride the "Hype Train". So far them and KK at Lucas Films might be the only ones.

[@muftak1]

Michael’s whip work is easily the best thing I’ve seen in ages. Thanks for livening up my nightshift!

[@Transfixed]

Whip it! Whip it good! (sorry, i had to)

[@wfthrock]

I love Michael but watching him use that whip makes me think Michael IS Indiana Jones!! Love that guy!

[@magicschoolbus3948]

I love how they show ceremonial Beloq when they talk about their "new" additions to the vintage line. Not Napal Marrion, safari Beloq with the idol, or Satipo like the concept art just put the mail away on a card back like gohst Anikin Skywalker.

[@davidkanengieter]

You are the most cynical, knowledgeable, and coolest nerd I've ever had the pleasure of watching. Love your channel.

[@zerocool5395]

The RLM of toys.

[@Chalor.]

Michael makes cynicism look _sexy._

[@patrickholt8782]

“Honey the neighbors outside whipping at his camera!” “Sit down Ethel.”

[@terrificon_CT]

I was thinking the same thing

[@mastertalbert4067]

Underrated comment, made me laugh.

[@retroblasting]

None of you appreciate what KZbin creators have to do to deliver quality content. Philistines!

[@mastertalbert4067]

@@retroblasting Fun fact I may comment like a philistine, but I walk like an egyptian.

[@terrificon_CT]

​@@retroblastingis it harder than doing the IndyCast for 15 years, TheRaider for 16, a youtube show and making my own convention? nahhhhh'

[@SpeedyArt]

"That's a whip!..." 😆 🤣 😂

[@AndersonPaaquiao]

That Tiger Force Skystriker is AWESOME!

[@katiepersons6575]

There's nothing more legit than having a convenient whip handy to throw shade at Hasbro!

[@silentbobstash]

Those guys are like watching an Indiana Jones Tupperware party.

[@kba702]

It's amateur hour at Hasbro. But that whip work at the end is the most awesomely badass thing I've seen this week.

[@outpost206]

@@stephenthomas1492 That's definitely what I'm picking up on, especially considering the lackluster assortment of characters in that first wave of six inch figures (as Michael so succinctly and eloquently pointed out).

[@mastertalbert4067]

Thank you Bob. Big fan of your writings here.

[@DareDevilDave75]

Almost a crocodile Dundee quote. That’s not a whip, this is a whip.

[@DareDevilDave75]

Or maybe they are testing the waters for a haslab whip with actual whipping action, that will only cost $700

[@GabeSugaFoxBowersox]

Michael with the whip made my entire week

[@chadrogers507]

Spot on as usual! I don’t get all wrapped up in this stuff usually, but damn. And excellent bull whip segment at the end. Michael and his spot on commentary is what keeps me coming to this channel. Well, that and nostalgia

[@lo1bo2]

Don't tell me I'm the only one who replayed Michael's whipping demonstration.

[@davidq.5488]

Not only rewatched more times than I know, but Shared it with friends high & low.

[@HappyBirthdayRoboto]

The whip at the end was a great move, basically Michael was showing he actually does know what he's talking about.

[@ErwalDeeas]

Peg warmers was the first thing that came to my mind as well. I remember those days all too well.

[@jedipoodoo]

Hasbro PR guy's whip skills: unimpressive Michael's whip skills: most impressive

[@greedosgash]

The incorrect bow tie and vest really peeved me for that Last Crusade Indy, as that outfit in the sewers is my favorite alternate Indy outfit. I wanted this line to be great. Coming from a die hard Indy fan.

[@RACOONBACON]

The words of Gene Wilder in Blazing Saddle’s have never range truer than in the halls of Hasbro. “You know? Morons”

[@kieronball8962]

Superb reactions from Michael's first AND LAST Has Bro Pulse Stream. Has Bro: They try their best, but never mind. :)

[@kevindeantonio5582]

Their "Whip" with the party favor sound broke my laugh meter! 🤣 It made me cry laughing at the Hasblo Team. Even without the added party favor sound, it sounded just like a broken one unfurling. These Hasblo guys have no clue, and don't care to even try looking for one. Thanks again Michael!

[@batangbatugan]

When Hasbro Pulse comes along, you must whip it! Before the stream goes on too long, you must whip it! When everything goes wrong, you must whip it!

[@Dilios_of_Sparta]

Hasbro: "We know... let's release an "asp" figure... you know, from the Well of Souls scene. It can be just a generic rubber snake--but the fans will LOVE it!! Cuz, you know, asps--very dangerous! We're so clever and respectful to the fans aren't we?" *Hasbro pats itself on the back*

[@TheMrWundrful]

“That’s a whip!”

[@1977TA]

"Mimics an actual party blower."

[@ColeWalker]

I think the reason they neutered the whip toy was because the 2008 electronic/plush version was infamous for becoming quite a weapon once it got wet.

[@2fabdad]

Hasbro forgot fish, Hook, and draaaag it out. Short round in Wave one you Got to have Indy in wave 2. I’ll wait will all the waves get retail… that way if future waves get cancelled I don’t get screwed over… again.

[@Tim85-y2q]

Seems like now would be the perfect time to do a Short Round figure given that Ke Huy Quan is having a career resurgence right now. For Pete's sake, ride the pop culture moment you've been given.

[@joevictor53]

Even more so now

[@artkingofwholefoods74]

That whip. 😮 Damn…. He’s pretty good at that.

[@thelatenightattempts]

Michael doing his best Crocodile Dundee. Love it.

[@badape3620]

I got a feeling Michael is tempted to use the real whip on those Hasbro spokes people

[@bombfog1]

Sententious Michael is the best Michael! Brilliant video.

[@hankv.p6421]

Michael has a real Indiana Jones whip! 😳

[@impossiblepie]

Hasbro" the new Indiana Jones whip!!!! " Michael " hold my beer" !! Another 🎤 drop!

[@q.h.s5051]

I’m excited to at least get Indiana Jones himself, especially the Club Obi Wan version But I must agree they’re definitely for huge fans like me. I have a feeling I’ll be seeing quite a bit of this wave on the clearance shelf’s and sites within three months. Bravo on the whip skills!

[@zevadprime]

Mike as always you speak the truth! Don't ever stop!👍

[@Stereo1782]

That’s a Whip!🤠👉🏻… awesome Michael you Rock!

[@Tinytraveler]

The little portions of comedy you've been adding to your videos over the years, just slays me. I laugh so hard at some of your jokes. Absolutely love your videos. Wishing you, yours and your channel all the best this year!

[@mitchduros]

I’d buy the Donovan figure if it came with Veers’ AT-AT Commander helmet!

[@CriticalEnjoyer]

The waifish homoculus gingerly flicking that toddler's toy at his bald manlet coworker immediately followed by Michael's whipwork gave me, well, whiplash.

[@jimbo9406]

Wow they even managed to replicate how most of the figures for the Indiana Jones toys ended up being peg warmers. Big ups hasbro

[@AlphaProto]

The ending caught me off guard. I was not expecting that.

[@JONNYSORENSEN_AU]

Jonesing for some Retro Blasting

[@TOUGHNERDTOYS]

Yooooo he cracked the whip like a pro! You forever have a follower retroblasting ❤️❤️❤️

[@afterwit3620]

Moving into a home near RetroBlasting HQ would have to be a surreal experience for anyone not aware of what's going on over there.

[@justinamerican8200]

Holy shit. Now I know who to call if a lion shows up.

[@erickaiser3679]

Absolutely awesome Mike!

[@mcrazor78]

That party blower whip had me dying. 🤣🤣🤣

[@haydentcem]

They also have Grail Knight, Mola Ram, and Henry Jones Sr in the pipeline. No word on a Willie, Elsa, Lao Che, or Brody yet :(

[@gregorymoore2877]

How about a German flying wing and hamburger meat German mechanic to place under it's propeller? 🤔

[@giovannideldio]

This whole video made my night, especially the ending!!

[@groorg24]

When is Stan Solo going to make a Michael figure complete with a whip and an M-1 garand? I feel there's some amazing potential there

[@SQLJedi]

Hilarious... I love how you said exactly what everyone was thinking... and ending with a super bad ass whip cracking at the end! Keep up the great work Michael

[@FakeWoodTable]

I used a rubber snake for a whip when I was a kid. Ironic I know. Safety be damned! That rubber snake could take more then your eye out.

[@robertdanker6193]

Seeing those guys try to sell that dollar store reject as a cool toy was hilarious!! Love the real whip skills at the end!!🤣🤣👍👍

[@johnmarkrussell6680]

"That's a Whip!" I loved that!

[@PitstainHobbies]

I don't know how Hasbro somehow is delivering such an excellent proton pack replica, and yet at the same time, that "whip"......ooof.

[@rektangular]

LMAO 😂🤣 That ending was epic!

[@milepost465historyhobbies4]

The whip at the end was worth the price of admission! Clearly Hasbro’s guys weren’t in the theater for any of the movies.. zero energy. Hasbro’s “whip” was either a Halloween reject or something that bald guy found in an adult book store 😂

[@CyrusB1]

Your "That's a whip" line rivals some of the best comebacks I've seen on YT. Btwn this Indiana Jones travesty and the Hasbro OGL self-destruction of their own lines... it's like they're trying to fail. Bizarre

[@lbmakescontent]

That line is so great, it’s the Indiana Jones equivalent to “This is a Knife”

[@cyberfrank-bx2nv]

Barbies at the helm, wake up!

[@yashik]

hehehaha that was a great video and a killer ending, that's the whip!!!! :D awesome

[@thestarkknightreturns]

Where's the goddamn Cairo Indy??? I was expecting an announcement for him either in 6-inch scale or retrofitted into the retro line.... Where's Ark Chase Indy with the gloved hands he uses almost through the entire film and an Arabian Horse?? Hell, I'd even settle for an Old Indy with a Crystal Skull!!

[@PADAWAMHD]

Awesome skills Michael! Love your dedication and passion ; )

[@RetroPlasticAddic085]

Ouch!!!! Lol that was brutal to watch Hasbro!! Love when you call this garbage out Micheal ❤

[@UnboxingArt]

Great video! That ending was 🔥 they need to pay you to overlook this line. This line would be perfect if they did lol.

[@djpetty6163]

I think Hasbro was asked to make merch by Disney for the new movie and they didn't really want to so they put a couple of the star wars guys on the line to put out some boring stuff so the line could fail and they could move on to stuff they think sells better

[@Willmclaughlin]

Crack that whip! What a great video 👏👏👏

[@skewraider]

When you see a line in doubt, you must Whip it! Whip it good! :)👊🏽💯

[@ReynoldsReviews]

😂😂😂😂 jeez!!! All that was missing from this burn was a “Yo Momma” joke! 😂😂 I thought it was a giant brown shrimp he was wrestling!!! Aw Michael thank you once again for some belly laughs!!! Needed that today!! Bravo sir 👏👌 New logo is fire too 👍

[@helioseternal2537]

When I think of Belloq its always him with the Panama hat was hoping for that look rip

[@cameronsteele9330]

As someone who's used whips, that ending was pretty badass

[@Shamrock463]

That Tiger Force Skystriker is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥!

[@brettbarnickel2985]

It’s so nice that I’ll be able to find most of the adventure series (including the exclusives) on clearance. I had some sticker shock at first but I guess I can count on most of the line ending up closer to $12.99

[@TroyPacelli]

"That's a whip!"

[@andre.inojosa]

One of the best videos! Cracked a huge laugh on the whip sound effect!

[@AJFromBatuu]

Even the hardcore collectors aren’t gonna be interested in an inaccurate Professor Indy figure with odd accessories that he doesn’t really use in the film.

[@todayigrewup]

So funny 😂

[@nilus2k]

Kids these days needing toy whips. Back in my day when you wants to play Indiana Jones, you just went into Mom and Dad’s special closet and took a whip out of there!!

[@RAP-SKULLION]

Michael's whip skills at the end is one the sexiest thing I've seen.

[@danielwellington5317]

That Hasbro video was hilarious, it felt like a half assed QVC video from 20 years ago! That toy "whip" is one of the most pathetic pieces of merchandise I've ever seen, what hell were they thinking?

[@k-dawgbroadcasting5444]

Michael, you critiqued this amazingly. For all the grief that's been tossed your way about anything, your film skills show up and it's hilarious watching clowns get shredded for such seemingly simple things as not looking at the camera. That alone, would've made this an epic video, but Hasbro livestreams are so far beneath your skillset, you hammered it with what you could. As an aside, even the new never before seen offerings aren't imaginative. Hasbro is stuck in the mud in all their lines, whether Kenner based, Marvel largely, or GI Joe. Especially their HasLab snoozers...always a pleasure to see your videos man

[@steko9465]

I liked this video before I even watched it. I KNEW I was going to be laughing, but didn't expect to laugh through the whole thing! Hilarious.

[@kevcox5585]

Legendary stuff there Michael, you got this absolutely spot on and i also cant stop laughing 😂

How did these guys even get hired by Hasbro?

[@LeeONardo]

by physical and sexual qualities rather than actual talent and skill most likely.

All I know is after watching your whip skills Mr. French, I now have more respect for you. That was flipping impressive. And that toy whip they made looks alot like the one from when Crystal Skull came out.
