[@mford66215]

It's always fun to see someone exuberant on a topic, today's edition is Adam geeking out on props worthy of adoration. Thanks for bringing us this content Adam!

[@dennissdigitaldump8619]

I love how Adam goes into the details, the airbrushing, laser work, weight, etc.

[@crush41gb]

I see Marty's guitar from the beginning of BTTF in the background too. Super Awesome!

[@ODPTV1]

An intellect I see

[@TOSkwar22]

I implore whoever is editing these: When they're pointing out specific details or, say, taking the armor off the mannequin to look at it, SHOW THAT DETAIL, or SHOW HIM TAKING IT OFF THE MANNEQUIN. Or hey, maybe when Adam says "Tell me about this beautiful piece", cut to him before he says that! You can save the long slow panning for when they're talking about general things.

[@86fifty]

Seconded. I was so impatient to be able to SEE when Adam was audibly lifting the chest piece and encountering the electronics. Even if it "looks awkward" or something, that's precisely what needs to be shown in that moment!

[@ek222336]

The Starlord pistol you're holding, as with all of them for the first movie, was made in-house by the Action Props department under propmaster Barry Gibbs. Action Props supervisor was Toby Shears....and principle Starlord pistols maker was James Woodcock - aided by Oskars Pantilievs and Marc Trunk. All work was by hand...with no 3D printing. The heat blooming was airbrushed by painter Philippa Ashcroft,....who also laid the carbon fibre hydrographics on the grips. The pistols' look was designed by Chris Rosewarne.

[@Thomas_Esson]

Thanks for adding the edit, and posting this info in general. Always nice to be able to pin down precise credit. And my compliments on your work (the art dept. work on Napoleon was beautiful).

[@ek222336]

​@@Thomas_Essonwe put a real shift in for GotG. A tough gig but we got to make such cool stuff. Thankyou for the Napoleon praise - again, we got to make some beautiful things 🙏🏽

[@nathanial91]

Hey Matt, I actually just came here to post all the correct film, what a project! Still think it is best film to have worked on

[@ek222336]

We did well, eh?

[@propmakes]

Yep, all correct. Woody worked on it in the other workshop run by Toby.

[@patrickedge]

I was thoroughly enjoying this video, as I do with most Tested / Prop videos, when all of a sudden my worlds collided. The David Mack illustration is the artwork I animated for the Winter Soldier title sequence. I'm literally the person they referred to that animated that exact shot and sequence in the film's Main on End titles. It's a wild, sometimes small world that we live in.

[@tested]

!!!!!!

[@ashhawk2346]

Awesome, you must be proud of your work! Being a part of Marvel Cinematic history! Well done!

[@Leightr]

The claws sell pretty well even when wearing white cotton gloves. Very simple design but looks great and also looks easy to wield for the actor. I could have seen them going with a glove/gauntlet to hide more supporting structure but that design looks awesome coming out of a bare knuckle.

[@entertainingandfun2719]

I’m gonna mention this about the burnt metal technique here in case Adam sees this. The reason this heat treatment on Star Lords gun looks so good in comparison to your Mandalorian rifle is because the gradient is not a consistent transition. You need a hard line between the blue and pink before it fades out. It’s also more irregular. I think of it as the heat consuming or eating away at the metal like a caterpillar. There should be large bites scooped out. Your Mandalorian rifle looked SO good though. Just thought I’d point that out because it can always be more perfect.

[@shanes6035]

Captain Picard's chair looks so comfy sitting in the background

[@UncleJessy]

Propstore is such good people and always auctioning off the coolest stuff. Still kicking myself for not trying to grab some of the Netflix marvel show costumes

[@Durwood71]

You gotta have deep pockets to buy any of this stuff.

[@SiliconRiot]

We animated a bunch of the Birthday sequence years ago, He wore the chest armor and upper arms and boots the rest we matchmoved and keyframed... Look to his elbows for some major issues in how he moved his arms vs how the armor needed to move.

[@theHardChargerVids]

“We animated…” we need more info…who is we and who are you? You worked on Ironman movies?

[@SiliconRiot]

I worked on the second film@@theHardChargerVids

[@ryanharrison2260]

The X-men jacket is made by a company named Vanson. I know this because I have one, they will make them upon request but they cost nearly 1k. That is the stunt jacket that they have, the back was torn from harness use in the snow scene. The X-men last stand jacket is made by the Original Leather factory in Canada, I also have that jacket.

[@flamingbeez]

Oooooh the OG Wolverine jacket!!!! I cosplayed as Wolverine a few times before, and the last time I did it I finally got the hairdo right! I spent so much time analyzing his attire from his first scene in the movie, frame by frame and even photos and made a list of everything he wore. Yes, every single layer he wore in the cold snowy Canada scenes lol Everything for the cosplay was bought, the jacket from Ultimate Jackets, and thus the most expensive part of the cosplay, everything else I got here and there from Walmart Amazon and eBay (the boots I used were, fittingly enough, Wolverine brand steel-toed boots.) They were the closest in appearance to his actual boots I could find, and I was proud of the final result! ^_^

[@tyrellcorp2118]

That thumbnail. Adam FLEXING with screen used StarLord blaster in one hand and Wolverine claws on the other. “I am the most powerful geek on the planet.” So jealous of the toys he gets to play with.

[@LopezBOT90]

Been so busy changing my life around for 2024 and beyond based on so many of the great minds including the great Adam Savage. Missed so much content and it's left a void in my daily schedule. Coming back to see so much great content about all the things makes me happy I can have my morning coffee, yoga and Tested again. Thank you all for all you do.

[@radicaladz]

David Mack is a real mensch. His style is very painterly and rides the line between the more classical, iconic work of Alex Ross and the more impressionistic or surreal style of a Dave McKean or a Bill Sienkiewicz. His work for Marvel, in particular on Jessica Jones but also on Echo which he co-created with Joe Quesada, has influenced a lot of the MCU's more stylised and abstract designs when it comes to promos and key art, and he is always a welcome and enjoyable presence when his posts of new pieces of art or flashbacks to older ones show up in my feed.

[@SebCB]

Back to the future guitar in the background. Yay!

[@rickytoddbotelho9555]

Of that collection that closing graphic tribute to Jim Steranko is a outstanding piece. 😂❤🇺🇸

[@marcusperry7461]

There better be an episode about that Captains chair or I'll run riot.

[@erichurst7897]

David Mack is an amazing artist, and such a super nice guy. I met him once at a comic con in the '90s.

[@enoraskye6020]

The very first thing I noticed was, even though Starlord's gun is clearly a prop, and not real, Adam still holds it like a real gun (aka, finger off the trigger). Well done Adam!

[@TheErikGud]

This guy should make a TV show 😊

[@roywalters3980]

I grew up with bill purcell, special effects supervisor on robocop, home alone, exorcist, a million more. But he told me they made all those suits out of hot glue sticks. Melted down, poured into a form, painted or pigment added while melted. It can get very heavy, so plates can be used of lightweight plastic for areas that don’t need to flex. But that’s how they made robocops suit.

[@roywalters3980]

I played with the paint cans that hit Joe Pesci, and used the bike handle zip line, it was awesome.

[@wolfe1970]

When did Adam make his starlord guns ? feel like ive missed those ODB

[@joshua.snyder]

A few years ago he cosplayed as Star-Lord.

[@tested]

Build is here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqWZc4SGg6x6itksi=KPZYydnNwLi4jpUE

[@stefanosottocornola3149]

Me personally I was looking at the BTTF mini guitar in the background 😍

[@dylanriegelhuth794]

You’re great man

[@nathkrupa3463]

Good work sir

[@theHardChargerVids]

Chuck is my kind of geek 🫡👊

[@Jfwerb]

I AM GEEKING OUT!

[@Meh-qe4rw]

Not my cup of tea but hats off to the prop department. Must have put in lots of effort to make.

[@nak3dxsnake]

Starlord's guns are so cool.

[@GordanUA]

This chest armor from mark 42 but different paint.

[@OneHuntiBoi]

It's almost Iron Legion but with the circular arc reactor.

[@TheLastSon85]

I definitely prefer the Wolverine claws that extend above the knuckles. The newer design from The Wolverine to deadpool 3 looks odd when they're below the knuckles

[@ICEM4NIII1]

Everything is way out of my reach so it's great to see a video like tgis showcasing just a few of the items for sale.

[@Thomas_Esson]

Just keep in mind while stuff in these videos is predominantly higher-end, far cheaper (yet still very cool) pieces can be had with sufficient patience, flexibility, and research. Not to say the high-end isn't wish-worthy, but if you'd like to collect, there's more low-end opportunity than many realize.

[@doro626]

Adam is both the Sherlock Holmes leading us into how to make these things and the Dr. Watson who joys at the process being revealed to him.

[@Cinemagic53]

Very interesting. Looks like the Iron Legion chest piece was a reused mold from the Mark 42 from Iron Man 3. I always assumed that the Mark 42 and Mark 43 for AoU were twins with a different livery but comparing this piece made me realize there’s just enough small differences to tell the physical armor apart. (Narrower taper to the pointed tops of the piece above the arc and no circle piece behind the lower outer chest vents, etc.) Though they did replace the suit here with a visual effect as the Iron Legion armors are very different with a narrow center light.

[@vedinchauhan8622]

Quality content

[@mrspecks945]

ADAM STOP TOUCHING EVERYTHING!!!!

[@annamcnarin]

I get why, but it still makes me giggle to use gloves to hold newer made things (as opposed to 100 yr +) folks just tossed around and/or wore. Everything here is so cool.

[@RyanGoodwin-qz4xn]

I finally made a Propp, Adam!!

[@zachmoyer1849]

Auction estimates: Starlord gun 15k, Chest piece 20k, xmen jacket 20k, Claws 6k, David Mack 4k.

[@sulpheralchemist]

that iron legion armor is really strange. it doesn't match the iron legion design from age of ultron and it actually looks like a repaint of the mk XLIII.

[@EpicMuttonChops]

I NEED WOLVERINE'S COAT AND CLAWS

[@hyperguyver2]

If you can't score the original it was made from a 1999 Vanson Cafe Racer in dark brown.

[@Blackout-tr5ky]

Same

[@erwintorres1427]

That's war machines endgame time travel suite.

[@huddy32]

That s what I thought,,

[@pixiniarts]

David Mack is an incredible artist, get his Kabuki comic book!!!

[@olepigeon]

8:56 - Just enough Iron Man ... not enough Tom Servo.

[@Zeaiclies]

I believe the house party scene in Ironman 2 is the second and last time that RDJ wore a full costume, knowing an "Avengers" movie was coming up shortly and said "I would rather run around in the stocking suit with the balls all over it than wear any other suit".

[@MrMoeRod]

What about Tom Servo in the case in the back!!!

[@tau3457]

I love these vids but have some constructive criticisim on this one. As you were pointing out details on the gun you had tgat area aimed away from the camera. The same thing when talking about detail on the jacket, the editing did not line up with what you were talking about. Please consider the framing of your shots or the audience will miss most of what you are talking about.

[@TheTomahawkRepublic]

Yo Adam savage is the man 😎 # savage

[@TheNewton]

Hey @Tested, It's really hard to tell from the video but I've always wondered does Starlords gun have an actual sort of iridescent sheen to them when seen up close due to a combination of the metal and airbrushing? Or is it the lights? It's the main thing I remember about the gun, and mainly the helmet, from the movie but have never been sure if that was just lighting for the scenes they show up in or if they really were supposed to have a sort of bi-lighting adonized look.

[@Thomas_Esson]

There's a thread here with several of the original makers commenting - you might consider posting a reply to that.

[@TransDrummer1312]

It's so sad that these are so rare to see now. The actual props were what sold those first Marvel films.

[@MirandaLeClair]

I see Tom Servo! Yay for MST3K!

[@alepioveable]

Watching Adam handling fake guns with the same trigger discipline of the real things always makes me giggle

[@DungeonBricks]

Wait, the claws were real?! Then what was the deal with the odd CGI enlargement?! I'm so confused right now.

[@joermnyc]

The details on all of these are amazing. But why tease us with Captain Picard’s chair in the background?!

[@jimmyryan5880]

When Adam is taking off the Ironman costume SHOW US!! He's going wow! Oh my god, look at that and you sadists don't show us.

[@KarlRoyale]

I see those claws selling for a mint! Who knows what they are and doesn't want them??

[@CDSXCalibur]

Epic

[@msheahan7]

"demonstrating tri**er discipline even with fictional weapons..." *still has it pointed at the other guy* XD

[@felixman9691]

The iron legion seems to have different arc reactor shape, and this looks more like the mark 42 repainted

[@Chicomite]

X-Men was the first DVD our family got, going from VHS to that disc was amazing. Physical media needs to be kept around in some way, even of it's the dumb "limited" model that some video games go with.

[@Occult_Orchid]

Fr. I’ve started collecting physical copies of anything I enjoy or feel should be preserved, as well as players for them, because streaming services will soon want to do away with privately owned copies of media, be it music, film, tv, etc.

[@Chicomite]

@Occult_Orchid Nice, keep on preserving your favs for the future. It's probably not as big of an issue in film collecting as it is in my hobby of collecting old video games, but if you're collecting older players for all this media, you may need some converters for the hookups. Modern tvs don't even come with component inputs, it might be worth it to look into. In the gaming community, we have these very expensive boxes, one is a Framemeister, RetroTink is another, that can properly convert those older cables' signals to HDMI(it's also really important for controller input lag). I'm almost positive there's a cheaper solution for someone like u if u haven't already needed to get a converter a types, there's so many bad Chinese ones on Amazon/ebay.

[@deniseatkinson9482]

Are these the same claws Hugh cut mystiqe stunt double by accident

[@AnarchoReptiloidUa]

❤❤❤

[@iron_dumpling]

called it

[@Javier.M.]

Is like Leonardo DiCaprio analysing a Check in prison

[@danhammond5424]

It’s insane that during this entire conversation there is an Enterprise D chair just sitting there and they can’t talk about it because they’re talking marvel

[@politicsuncensored5617]

A hundred years from now when an alien world picks up on our broadcast into space of our Hollywood weapons they will go - whoo we don't want to mess with this planet~! Shalom

[@nosidamXlynax]

wow this is the first time that i've gotten here so very early on release lol, i'm currently drawing with a 0.03mm pen while watching videos from my subscriptions lol. ^_^

[@Jabberwok28]

Tom Servo!

[@markgrudzinski914]

I really want to see a segment on Tom Servo. I keep seeing him in the background, taunting me.

[@cleytonroberto5634]

Incrível

[@rodney73991]

I feel going make kinda iron legion suit and have 5 friends were it.

[@Genaudio685]

Says “Demonstrating trigger discipline”… as he points it at the guys head lol. Love you tho Adam

[@dodgingcars]

I got to tour the Fox archives and was able to hold one of the Wolverine blades they had there.

[@tested]

!!!!

[@iron_dumpling]

its the wolverine jacket omg im 6.40 minutes in it has to be the jacket the old man gives hi in x men orgens

[@jaketheripper7385]

Pretty sure that's not Iron Man armor... Looks more like Iron Patriot/War Machine Armor from one of the later films.

[@matthewtaylor9230]

How many world records did you and jamie break?

[@codmanout9861]

That Iron Legion piece looks in real bad shape, cracks and damage all over. Was it intended that way, or was it just not taken good care of until it ended up here?

[@Glaaki13]

"Really" lol

[@billbucktube]

👍👍👍👍‼️‼️

[@nathanshelton9420]

Why did the marvel encyclopedia say that wolverines claws are 3ft long? Inconsistencies at its best.

[@microdot4374]

I could not get in that suit, if I have two t-shirts on some one will say you look fat!!!!🖖

[@Hellwalker855]

The gun is beautiful, but the claws look like anyone can make them. :\

[@Merce.with.theMouth1deadpool]

I wunt it

[@mrhallangen]

That japanese tested shirt at the end says "washing machine"

[@luckywonderer4068]

where the hell do people get these? for real

[@captaineri.223]

Make'm work

[@iron_dumpling]

if theres a auction for dead pool 3 wolverine x men suit hit me up plz (* ^ *) 😄

[@Pengajim]

Editor gets an F.

[@realbaconproductions]

Love to see people be more responsible than Alec Baldwin with firearms, prop or not.

[@1683clifton]

Trigger discipline, yet flagging your friend all day! 😅 Just kidding but sheesh. Lol

[@devhammer]

Came here for this comment. Not disappointed. 😆

[@1683clifton]

Somebody had to say it.😀

[@KA317S]

I noticed that right away..lol

[@kongpongreviews1997]

something about the auctioneer rubs me the wrong way.

[@tomhorsley6566]

Why work so hard to paint simulated heat treated steel? Why not just make the part from steel and heat treat it?

[@MrMrbrianbechtel]

Cost, weight, ability to duplicate it, danger to the actors, but mostly cost to make it

[@ek222336]

It's for duplication only - across all the pistols that were made; 'hero', lightweights, soft rubbers, etc. I helped make these pistols for the first Guardians movie.

[@ek222336]

​@@MrMrbrianbechtelcost, weight and safety weren't factors when we produced these. All materials used for the 'hero' guns were to make them work and last for the duration of the film. We made plenty of 'softs' for fighting, etc.

[@kylieloc7840]

first

[@TravelingStacker]

Except for the ones before you.

[@Thin447Line]

Good trigger discipline but horrible muzzle discipline. Even though it is fictional, gun guys are cringing every time you point the muzzle right at your on screen partner.

[@MrLockedfor]

To wear gloves and handle that torso piece like a cave man...

[@captaineri.223]

Star lord's gun isnt comic accurate its supposed to be Elemental like aang.

[@PorkChopXpress4385]

Love you and the channel, but marvel is a bad joke best left until talked about.
