MODIBOTS customizable figures! (Review + Animation Test)

[@Mittens_McG]

That shot towards the beginning, the camera pan with the modibots popping in and out in different poses, was a really impressive shot.

[@TheCrafsMan]

Thank you so much! Glad you liked that! :)

[@KidMechan0]

I know. So good.

[@thantronghien9461]

I know right?!!

[@AndyMecha]

Looks like Modibot passed the Crafsman test, happy days! Now they should get the recognition they deserve.

[@TheCrafsMan]

Andy, thank you! If it wasn't for tuning into your livestream, this video would not yet exist. :)

[@malebolgia8552]

I would like to submit for consideration the name of "Jacked O'Lantern" for the pumpkin headed muscle creature you fabricated 🙂

[@cctz_1]

Thats p good

[@hrtlsbstrd]

Wow, that opening shot with the cabin looks astonishingly good. Great work!

[@CharacterDesignForge]

WELL, Looks like someone just placed an order on Modibots. These are amazing! I love their potential as customizable armatures! The real trick now to get us all the way down the rabbit hole is some Glyos/Modibot adapters 😆

[@TheCrafsMan]

Brookes! Thank you so much! And that is a pretty fantastic idea! In fact... I'll have to search and see if someone might've done that, because I DID see where someone made LEGO-to-Modibot adapters. :D

[@scottobear]

@@TheCrafsMan they actually have glyos / modibot adapters in the modibot store!

[@vzanto4630]

Those are like a customizers DIY any character sweet dream! Could sculpt over the parts to make any action figure you wish at that scale. Love your stuff Mr. Craftsman!

[@leavesofgrass92]

"Yo buckle bout ta get swashed." So many great Crafsmanisms that make me laugh in every video.

[@404_profile_not_found]

1:50 - I like how the instructions even state that if you have a broken part you can get a replacement by emailing them. It means they've anticipated if they have broken parts and have a contingency for them

[@scaryskullmask5219]

Dearest Crafsman, I'm stuck home with Covid binging through your backlog and it heartens me so much to see someone talking about Stikfas. As a youth growing up in the South [born in 90]s my family was a bit behind the times when it came to internet access. I would spend days online watching new Stikfas release and watching the forums talk about them. My family hunted for years but never managed to scare any up, they just never hit my area. [Central TN] and even one winter when pops hit a good lick and took us to Oprey Mill's shopping Toys R us didn't have them. I've seen modibots before and been widely uninterested in them as a Stikfas successor but once I get a bit of scratch I'm going to grab one. Thanks again for everything you're doing out there, brotherman. Thank you so much.

[@elipse371]

There’s so much extremely energetic and loud content on KZbin This isn’t that in any way. And I love it. Just great for just sitting down and watching and/or listening.

[@jlloyd2004mcs]

I know that window unit has been workin overtime. Stay cool, Crafsman.

[@falsehero2001]

I was feeling upset after work today. Craftman made me smile. Thank you.

[@jamesonhardy2126]

"We weren't supposed to have a rooster, but, you know, now we have a rooster." I felt that Crafsman.

[@Boylei]

Articulate in 7 languages?! Impressive. I gotta get some of those little dudes.

[@slayerkhan]

I bought some a few years ago, tey are great. I met the guy who created them at designerCon and he is super nice and humble. I liked mine so muc I gave one to my friends kid and he liked them so much his grandparnts ended up buying him a few extra ones. You can buy different heads and props an everything.

[@volttherobot]

We met him once at a Makerfaire, he's "super nice", as you said... we bought a few sets.

[@KidMechan0]

Thank you. I love going to the shows and talking to people about their projects.

[@AnimationEddie]

Hey! That's me! And those are my animated friends, Mo! So glad you enjoy ModiBots. They are so much fun to animate with. Take care my friend!

[@jabbathehutt2774]

People say you should do ASMR, I say you already do. The relaxing simple music, your soft yet gruff voice, mixed with plastic snapping and swiveling, and topped off with the background rain. Man not only are your videos interesting to watch, but relaxing to listen to as well.

[@TheCrafsMan]

Thank you so much!

[@KnarbMakes]

That background storm is super calming to listen to. The Modibots seem like a fun way to do some stop motion!

[@EliGamesOfficial]

Lovely video as always, but I have to say - the editing is getting more and more wild. So slick, so smooth. A joy to behold!

[@spectrrrr]

Man, that rain in the background is ridiculously relaxing. Also, great video.

[@michaelsudsysutherland5353]

I needed this video today, thank you! No matter what happens in the world, I can always wind down to some Steady Craftin videos to make my day better. I love my Modibot!

[@chrisprattsabs1543]

Dude this is literally the exact type of toy I would have wanted as a kid!!!!

[@volttherobot]

"Chris Pratt's Abs" LOLOLOLOLOL *imagines Chris Pratt's Abs as smaller Abs, sitting on a rug in the living room, playing with some wooden blocks*

[@scottgm321]

You can have them now.

[@vitor900000]

Geez. I spend about 5 days looking for your channel. I remember seeing a some of your videos a long time ago but no matter how much I searched on google for a youtuber with a hand puppet your never showed up on the results. By searching for "Hand puppet youtube software" with a brown color filter I finally found a image of your puppet. With that image I found another image that gave me you channel name. What a journey.

[@gojirazillasaurus6341]

the thunder was actually really relaxing :>

[@TheCrafsMan]

:D Glad to hear it!

[@gojirazillasaurus6341]

@@TheCrafsMan the figures look pretty cool, you can probably make a custom action figure with em

[@MyNameIsDecember]

I really loved how you just let the background noise of the storm be the music for you. That was an incredibly relaxing scene and it allowed me to focus more on what you were doing. Thanks again man I love your Channel

[@CajunCraftastrophe]

Your motorized panning shot with the Modibots in different poses is SLICK!! Also, your cabin intro leaves me starry-eyed (beautiful chromatic aberration from the lens!). Counter balance of the arms and legs is such a fantastic reminder to point out. That was so enjoyable, Crafsman! Cheers!

[@davidjones8070]

Ohhhhh yeaahhh I know what I want to buy…Modibots. It’s my birthday tomorrow so this is the perfect gift to myself. Being a photographer I’d like to try my hand at stop motion as well.

[@JasonP6339]

The rain and thunder behind you talking with no music HAS TO BE one of the most relaxing and comforting things ever created by humans....... It causes a chemical reaction in you that you can feel

[@funclaysculptures3758]

Your new intro with the mini shop and forest is wonderful. I think it was very much worth the time and effort you put in.

[@BRUXXUS]

It's pretty amazing how expressive these little guys can be! Also, that shot at 1:20 really blew me away. While there seems to be a bunch of tracking(?) shots, that slow, um, orbit (?)... shot? (Sorry, I don't know proper camera movement names well), Looked SUPER cool! Also also, this video made me laugh out loud a few times. Thank you!

[@TheCrafsMan]

Thank you so much! Really glad you enjoyed it! Yessir, there are more slider/moco shots than usual in this one. :)

[@anniesthesia]

LOVE the rain and thunder atmospheric soundtrack during the quiet moments.

[@ChrisEvil138]

I got one of these years ago & it's still kickin'. I've used it to animate a bunch of times. It works good as an armature under clothes & you can put clay over the head.

[@BPCustomCreations]

Look at that intro! Modibots seem useful for building off of with clay or other bits 👍

[@TheCrafsMan]

That's right! I did wonder about whether or not it's possible to bake something like Sculpey (or Cosclay) over the plastic skeletons. The plastic *should* hold up if we go low and slow. And might even be that the boiling water technique could be used. ? Thinking out-loud. :)

[@BPCustomCreations]

@@TheCrafsMan my first thought was epoxy clay, like Apoxie Sculpt but I bet the hot water or heat gun method might work too 🤔 Thanks for inspiring us all and keepin that craftin steady, my friend.

[@johndough8115]

@@TheCrafsMan Things bake from the Outside to the Inside. If the plastic is inside the clay, it would take a lot of time before the heat reached it. That said, looking at that plastic type... it appears to be a plastic that would take heat levels that are far beyond over-bake clay, to cause melting and warping.

[@KidMechan0]

@@TheCrafsMan You can use Polyclay on the Mo+ version of the figures. The ones I sent you (PETG) don't react well to oil/solvent-based clays. But it is possible. You can also sculpt on most of the white parts that I sent you.

[@volttherobot]

The thunder sets up a whole "FrankenCrafsMan" vibe as you are building... "Ittts Alive..ALIIIIIVE!!!!

[@TheCrafsMan]

😂

[@flyingcatpack]

This is awesome. you should run a competition where people send small clips to you, made with these. That would be soo fun

[@YanickFM]

Woah I might have to get me some of these. It looks like it could also be a good reference model for drawing poses. In art class we always had those wooden figures to draw and they weren't very good. These seem a lot better with natural looking poses

[@soapiestwaffles]

The sound of the thunder and rain in the background adds so much to this! I love it! I switched to listening with headphones. It's amazing!

[@camojoe2]

That one head/face reminds me of the old Rock'em Sock'em Robots heads.😀Keep on steady craftin'. Regards, Duck

[@Mutagen215]

I think the thunder and rain add to the soothing nature of your videos

[@yolo_omgwow]

Very glad you found these figures I am definitely getting them for my birthday wich is in a few days and have a good day :D

[@KORUPTable]

You can print these guys for free if you have a 3d printer, sweet!

[@ScottBalkum]

Ok, I am going to have to give these a try.. Can’t beat the price.

[@TheCrafsMan]

Uncle Scott! :D Hope you enjoy!

[@Lee-Dixon1987]

Can't imagine what I would've done if these had been around when I was a kid. Love the versatility. Also, the new intro looks fantastic.

[@willphully]

I love these things, they remind me of the K'Nex, the figures the K'Nex don't really make anymore. I want to buy some and I want to see what all they have to offer as far as, add-ons and extra parts.

[@TheeManWIthNoLife]

The clicks and pops are so satisfying!

[@Unkorps]

El intro le quedo espectacular. Muy bonito. Me he visto todos sus videos. en cada uno su vos y explicaciones me han ayudado mucho en mis proyectos. Se lo agradesco.

[@jacemonster5]

These modi bots look like they weould be amazing for some stop-motion!

[@the_dietcam]

These guys remind me of the K'Nex action figures that came with the extreme sports sets.

[@machineman6498]

I think the ball is the same size so technically they work together. Different material though, so glue was an issue.

[@emilynicholson8160]

You consistently make me happier as a person.

Nice to see these bots get more attention.

[@curtisnewton895]

dude try molding a latex skin around the modibot, used as a skletton

Gonna print some for sure, thanks for bringing some light on these amazing little dudes.

[@mr.miniaturesmodels8465]

Loved that animation test, Crafsman! Loved it!

[@scottobear]

I love that there are parts that do glyos to modibot lineups available!!

[@joedapoboy]

My introduction to Glyos was right when the ModiBot designer was prototyping that adapter, posted a photo on Facebook

[@WalkerCarey108]

Those “snaps” are so satisfying to hear! I imagine they’re even better in person! Happy Day to you, CrafsMan!

[@FullDonutAction]

I was so stoked when you did a stikfa video, thanks for introducing me to modibots. 2:29 That is some good lookin plastic right there.

[@Ilostmycactus]

That end animation was really good. I'd be interested in seeing you make your own accessories for them. I'm not super into the stick-ey look.

Thanks for making such kino, comfy content. I can't even hardly watch tv or movies anymore, but Crafsman always makes me feel better

[@scottgm321]

Lol, the autogenerate closed captioning calls them almighty box. We haven’t had rain or thunder in Fort Worth since May 30. I appreciate you keeping it in the audio. Thanks for the video .

[@TheCrafsMan]

Wow! This is encouraging. Thank you!

[@micahzeringue984]

These are so cool. Have you ever heard of bionicels? Maybe you have done a video or not but they are really cool. I grew up with them and I believe they are made by LEGO so you know they are quality.

[@CAJfur]

Neat little figures. Pretty much exactly what I've been looking for. I'm so happy this video hit my recommended.

[@MJKToys]

Shows instructions that show how not to assemble joints. Literally assembles joints in the wrong way according to those instructions. lol. I'd have done it the same way. Keep on steady craftin!

[@TheCrafsMan]

LOL! During the edit I thought about adding a note: "please don't snap the joints together this way" :D

[@shokojimhollingsworth3940]

Wow, these look like they could be excellent armatures for claymation figure animations. I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who had stikfas breaking on me. Also the stikfas poses were kind of limited because of their shape.
