This Is Not Working Anymore…

[@SEANxLONG]

THANK YOU EVERYONE for the LOVE & SUPPORT on this video! Check out what I’m doing at kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWbJpJeBecugpZIsi=Oy4iWOru7YbjMf6Y for the Future of my Channel! LOVE YOU ALL!!! ❤❤❤

[@Fredd-Hazard]

I always felt like Pixel Dan, Shartimus and you were The Big 3 of Toy Review...

[@alan1992A]

Don’t forget Fwoosh and Sentryproductions.

[@Fredd-Hazard]

@alan1992A I don't remember watching them back then when I started using using KZbin, I did watch Glenn Webb and I do watch Fwooosh now, but those early days, it was Pixel, Shart and Sean to me

[@thearthurmarston9897]

Glenn Webb too! Still feels surreal he’s gone.. RIP 🙏🏻

[@saljames9075]

I think you were one of (if not) the first KZbin channels I subscribed to back in the 2010s. I’m 25, graduating college next semester and always found joy watching your videos both old and new. I know I am not the only fan to say that we are all here for you and will always support you. The toy community sadly isn’t what it used to be. You are such a genuine person with so much love, you and your family are in my prayers. I know it will get better soon my man♥️♥️

[@starscream__]

i was 7 years old watching and loving your ROTF/animated reviews. i’m 22 now just happy that you’re still around man

[@brandonpantucci7228]

Same here!!

[@king_vixtor]

Crazy af bro I’m 23 now and I’ve watched your videos since the Wolverine claws video 15 years ago. I wish nothing but the best for you brother thank you for the memories ❤️

[@Gone_In_a_Flash]

Been watching since I was 5 man, I'm 22 now, you are such an og and I always felt like you deserved more attention and more love. You're great man.

[@FACTSWITHANTHONYJAMES]

The toy review game isn’t what it once was.

[@lewisgrant7622]

Yeah unfortunately. Sadly toy review Channels just aren’t as popular as they used to be and the people who used to watch these channels have al grown up and moved on to to stuff like overwatch and Fortnite. Which also KZbin doesn’t even recommend videos from these channels anymore

[@darkscoutergamer6168]

@@lewisgrant7622 depends id say lol there’s still some that pulls views but who knows for sure if maybe that can change,btw doing well?

[@mviouscosplay]

Right? It's become more of a "Who's got the best collectible figure before everyone else" type of game now :(

[@FateTK99]

Hey Sean I remember watching you way back in 2011-2014 when i was 12-15 years old. I was a huge transformers and marvel fan and your video reminds me of the days when life was simple and happy. Im now 25 and am graduating collge, im also happy to see you doing guitar content as im a guitar teacher myself and studied music production in college! I wish you all the best for the future my man! Thanks for being a part of a childhood!

[@anthonysandoval5512]

I have always been a supporter of you since the 2010's and totally understand your decision. Hope everything works out for you Sean.

[@nerdknight111]

I quit doing toy reviews roughly 10 years ago, just couldn't afford it anymore. I don't make videos as often as I once did, I've been here for 15 years, but I've kinda accepted defeat I used to love watching you, Peaugh, Optibotimus, Emgo316, Sportimus, and many others back in the day. I met you at BotCon in 2010 and man that was an amazing experience Whatever the future brings for you, I hope you can make it through

[@SEANxLONG]

It was so awesome meeting you back at Botcon! It’s just harder to stand out in this community. There is a place for everyone on KZbin but it’s harder to stand out in certain groups without a lot of effort or luck. If I could focus all on attention or most on KZbin I be in a better place on here but it’s hard with working full time and a toddler. I won’t give up.

[@joaquincorrales6274]

You Sentry, Glenn Webb, Shartimus, and Pixel Dan were a huge part of my childhood and your guys content makes me feel good being a child again back in 2010 to 2012 just a young kid with excitement for anything with Marvel, Dc, Tmnt, and etc

[@lilsquisssh]

Wow im glad you're still here. I remember watching your videos when i was 7 yrs old on the old family computer. Your bumblebee from revenge of the fallen review made me beg my dad to get it for me and he finally said fine. When we got to toys r us, he saw the price and he was like "ai yi yi you sure don't want nothing else dude?" and i said nope lol then i went home and watched your video on how to transform it. Thanks the memories bud.

[@warrenBROSvideos]

Been watching you since 2010’s honestly love you man hope all goes well in your future

[@linkimusprimeproductions7890]

As a (still growing) KZbinr, I COMPLETELY understand the pain of trying to put out content you put hours of work into only to not get viewed. And the more you try and try, it just gets increasingly harder to navigate and keep up with. Not to mention it seems like the era of the internet has just been going down hill when it comes to KZbin, but it seems like the attention span of viewers has been diluted by things like tiktok and KZbin shorts, which is ridiculous since youtube pushes those out into the algorithm more than regular length videos. But I guess that's just how it goes. Thank you for everything man! Been watching you for about 12 years now and you always put out bangers. I wish the best for you and your family and I hope life improves for you man. It's a struggle but we got each other through it🔥🔥🔥

[@galvaxrules5278]

I still remember your skit for the Mattel BvS Batman and Superman set, still one of the funniest skit ever! You and Emgo have been my childhood companions in helping me hold on to get some joy out of toy-collecting (as hard as it's becoming). Thank you, Sean. I really wish the best for you and your family ❤

[@dackdack8047]

We love you, Sean, and I really hope everything goes well for you, and I want the best for you. You rule, man, and I have so much resepcr for you.

[@SEANxLONG]

Thank you so much! I appreciate that. ❤

[@michaelglatt100]

This channel is where I originally found out about Hot Toys/sixth scale. It’s too bad that it’s going away but I get it. There’s a lot of competing creators out there and as mentioned working a full-time job and having a family to take care of can’t be easy to squeeze in time for reviews. Especially if they aren’t getting the views.

[@DJM_Animations]

I’ve been watching you since 2009…. Your videos will always have a place in my heart

[@jonny.prime.the.collector]

Me too

[@opt9754]

You and Shartimus Prime were the first reviewers I would watch.

[@AIJ.productions1]

Thank you for your honesty and for your time and dedication with this channel, I remember watching your videos in middle. Will always be grateful for it. Thank you

[@andrewscarlett7939]

Unk !!! I’m so glad I stumbled upon your page man !! I member as a kid watching all these reviews

[@legendasfigurak]

Im so sorry buddy! You're my hero!

[@HowlerNic]

You are apart of my childhood and I still go back and watch old videos

[@tigerlau8593]

Your Transformers: ROTF Burger King Toys review & G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra Storm Shadow review have been core memories for me as a fan of both franchises! I’ve practically watched those two videos annually ever since they were uploaded. As a fan who grew up with your toy reviews, I wish you the best! Thank you for all your time and effort.

[@陳俊擇-e8g]

I remember loving your videos when I first started collecting, and in some way watching yours and other review video seems like part of the hobby. Now I still buy figures but not as into it as I was, I know reality will sometimes force us to grow out of this hobby. It still makes me sad when youtubers that I used to love moved on, but like everything in life, nothing stays the same, and that is why we collect these toys I guess to somehow clinch on some part of our life for a bit longer. Wish you well for your life on wards and hopefully someday you are able to get back into the hobby again.

[@unlimited02]

I’ve been a toy collector since 2012 and had some stuff even earlier… but I think that the ones like me that watches the toy reviews… has also got older… has also have a family’s now, have a career… we still all collect but now it’s as much or don’t have to need to get… all my toy buddies don’t even collect as much or post their hauls… and the new audience are probably as the same as the the pervious…

[@LoriNicolls]

Surfing your comments warms my heart Sean. You have so much support & love here. Always rooting for You, Heather & River🫂

[@edviza1935]

Been watching your vids since like 2014 man. I gotchu man, you ain’t gotta apologize if it ain’t working it ain’t working

[@christiansabong]

you were one of my big inspirations back when I was a lil kid man. i remember watching your old iron man toy reviews back in the early 2010s. times change but it could always be for the better depending on us. we love you bro, and thank you!

[@miniconsrus]

Sean, I’m not sure if you remember me, but I’ve been watching your videos since I was a kid. I’m now 28 and have my own family. You’ve been an inspiration to me and I always tune in. I totally understand what you’re saying, YT has changed so much since the good old days around 2008/2010. Our little community will always have those early years as fond memories, but life is so different than what it once was. I’ll forever watch your content, and be a huge fan and support you. I just wish you all the best and I’m sure things will work out for the best. You’re a legend, an absolute boss, and an integral part of my childhood. Love you dude! Good luck with the future! I can’t wait to see how your channel evolves!

[@kozamki]

I really do hope everything gets better for you and your family I remember watching your reviews when i was younger, I wish you the best on your new musical direction.❤

Do what’s best for you man. I’ll never forget watching you when I was 9. Your song when doing your Hot Toys Iron Man reviews are still stuck in my head. God bless brother 🤘🏾

[@rickytoddbotelho9555]

The shine of figures made from our favorite franchises has worn off because it's war out there! There's companies doing highly realistic things that are putting a disturbing stance on the collective mind's eye. 😂 ❤

You rock, Sean! I'm rooting for your success🙌.

[@Superfly007]

Been watching you since the ROTF Devastator review and I can honestly say you are one of my inspirations in toy collecting along with Shartimus Prime, Peaugh, and Optibotimus

[@TheSpiderWarden]

Man... i loved your videos as a kid. Best of luck to you man!

[@reeda1746]

EDIT: I wrote this comment before passing the 5 min mark, so I reckon some things I mention here may be mentioned later on. Man, I gotta be honest. And just a heads up, you may not like what I'm about to say, but I wouldn't even comment or come back to your channel if I didn't care a little, because you were the first reviewer I watched and it was because of you that I stopped being ashamed of admitting I liked to collect toys while being a teenager and why I got back to collecting 10 years ago. I've seen a lot of reviewers, of all kinds of stuff. And if there's something that they all have in common in a way or another is that they evolve or improve their craft and to be completely honest, I don't see that happening in your channel, if anything I think the quality has either stayed the same or worse. I just watched the Fiend figure video, it is not properly frammed, the audio is all messed up and tbh, you don't come accross as excited for what you're doing. And don't get me wrong, I'm an introvert, I'm not saying you should get all extrovert mode, screaming and jumping around to come accross like you're excited, but you really come accross as if you're just trying to sound excited but you're not. I'm not saying you need the best microphone or the best camera or the best editing/sound mixing skills in order to be successful, but that video does not come accross like you cared for what you did, for what you were talking about or the quality, and tbh you cannot convince me that that video was the result of hours of actual work. I've worked as a video editor and it is not possible that that video took more than maybe two hours total (and I'm still considering that you made more than one take and the rendering time). I remember a video from a few years ago where you mentioned that the company that helped you with the transitions and/or animations for your channel part ways with you from some bs reason. I thought, "huh, maybe he could learn to do a simple intro on after effects or an animation software, and do something more of his own style", but nope, ever since it feels like you just gave up on the idea of crafting your editing. I know it is not easy to produce videos, and doing all the stages alone is indeed stressful and tiring. But there's no way around it, you either get better at it or you won't stay relevant. Nostalgia is not bringing the numers because it is not sustainable. You always end up mentioning and comparing yourself with others and it feels like you haven't grasped what makes them resonate with their audience, Jobby's videos are way different than when he started and he has been improving all his resources and skills since the beginning. There's a mexican youtuber called Gabo's Reviews that is fairly successful doing almost exclusively Transformers videos and his early videos to what he has become are night and day. Maybe Shartimus hasn't needed to change that much of his format because he does uploads almost on a daily basis and may have more deals with brands and does a lot more noice but you cannot take that as an excuse of why you are not succeeding with your channel. Jobby doesn't have thise resources, he doesn't post every day, but look at the other things he does like the streams and the constant evolution. Anthonyscustoms has also improved his craft even if his overall format remains the same and has a simple editing and a far more straight critical approach instead of the all positive excited fanboying. The thing is that you really need to try new things, something you feel comfortable with, and find balance between enjoying that thing and that resonates with people. Hard pill to swallow: Nostalgia will not bring new viewers and your most viewed videos in the last years are those of you complaining about not being able to succeed. Look at this video, you don't get this engagement or views in the regular videos for a reason. I think there is something called toxic and fake positivity and that's what always happens with these kind of videos you make. Almost everyone says they love your content and your style but that does nit reflect on the main videos, they are just enabling your current path, not giving useful criticism and that only makes the cycle start over. Also, I'm gonna be honest.. the jokes are not funny. Humor is subjective, I know, but I can almost say with full certainty, that that is not your strongest area. I don't think I can give you ideas on that though. Stop complaining about how others are doing good and not you. You don't need to have the newest thing fast and early to be successful and if anything Jobby and Anthony are proof of that, and that doesn't mean that they do not struggle in their own way, even Shartimus teaches music. I don't know if you have another job and I know you have a kid but Shartimus and Anthony do to, so it is not impossible to get better at this, but you need to try harder and I don't know you personally outside the channel, I don't kniw what other things you're dealing with. But if those other things are affecting your will or time or whatever is tanking youtube... maybe an actual break from this is not a bad idea. I'm not saying abond it forever, but try to get an actual job (not saying this is not a real job, but it is clearly not working out), maybe hit the gym, build new friendships, I know it is hard but it is better than keep on making the same things, which by definition won't give you different results. And you know what? If you find out that you like that life better than youtube, that's also fine! You can find freedom in a regular job too, in being a good dad to your kid, in being a good husband. Maybe being a more casual collector, that's also fine. One thing I beg you not to do. DO NOT LISTEN TO THOSE TELLING YOU TO KEEP ON DOING WHAT YOU ARE CURRENTLY DOING. That is not working out for you, nor your channel. I hope that this gave you a more objective view of things and I wish you the best, think about it and make the best decision, but don't think you owe a channel to your audience, do not marry the idea that youtube is the only thing you can do, but if you are going to keep doing it, you need to actually improve your game and be aware, you may need to experiment for a while, it will not take just one video.

[@SEANxLONG]

No I agree. There is many factors why my toy reviews aren’t as good as they used to be. When I was at my peak it was my only focus to make videos which now I have a kid and other jobs. Also I have been filming my videos for the last couple years on my phone or iPad because my computer broke(the repair guy said it’s not worth repairing either). My editing is so limited to what I can do on my phone or iPad compared to using Final Cut Pro. I really haven’t been the biggest fan of making toy reviews for years. I just am not a fan of being critical to a toy that is suppose to bring joy. It also makes me not enjoy the figure as much unless I make a skit with it. I really enjoy entertaining and being informative than critical. I rather bring up objective criticisms than subjective. I rather people buy things based on what they see than my opinion. I hope to get a new computer soon and really improve my videos but till then I’ll do the best with what I have. I will make videos on things I’m super excited for.

[@FEF832]

Sorry you have to go through this Sean, but always remember that no matter what happens, you and your family are strong, brave and smart, and also your video reviews are always funny and entertaining.❤

Hey Sean, I grew up watching your channel and feel that most of my collecting was inspired from your videos. Thank you so much for being such a crucial part of my childhood. I’m 22 now and still continue to collect when I can afford it. Thank you for being so Rad! 🤘 you are an OG!

When i first watched youtube, sean long is one of the pioneers for me. Its been fun sean

[@Iamtemjin]

Man, I almost didn’t recognize you since I haven’t seen your occasional toy reviews! Then it hit me that was the infamous Sean Long. I recall a time in which yourself, Shartimus Prime, Optibotimus, and even MechaGaikotsu for Gunpla reviews I used to watch a decade ago. Starting to see a slight decline a bit and I can see where you’re coming from. Life happens and things change along the way. I’m glad you’re doing well and focusing on other projects. No what, I want to thank you for those wonderful toy reviews and good luck on your next endeavor!

Dang used to watch Sean and shartimus decade ago, then Sean just disappeared and never seen from him again, until today 😮 he was part of my childhood, toy life is not for many people, it's a very very niche dying lifestyle.

[@Chucitron]

Do it when and how you want, forget everybody else. I remember when only 3 dudes were doing toy reviews wayy back. I used to do it with them. We went back and forth with each other just showing off our old toys. There was no money involved with KZbin. It was in its purest form. The first person I ever saw say "video review" was Matrix Prime. He is the Godfather of what we call youtube video review. He still does videos here and there, but he always does it for fun.

[@alexroberts1411]

Never heard of you until today when this video popped on my feed for some reason lol. I collect action figures, with the main lines I collect being jada toys Street Fighter, GI joe Classified, Masterverse, and Marvel Legends. I occasionally get Mafex figures and wrestling figures. Collecting them, posing them, and taking pictures of them bring me great joy. Its a fun hobby for me. I have an Instagram page where I share my pictures, which also brings me great joy. I occasionally watch toy reviews, especially when I'm on the fence about buying something or as an appetizer when I'm looking forward to an action figure preorder.

Toy reviews at least for Transformers have been torpedoed by PrimeVsPrime, who has effectively monopolized the entire genre. He has a clear advantage and ruins it for everyone else. Nobody wants to say it but that's the truth.

I’m just moving forward on a different direction. Even for toy reviewers I’m not everyone’s favorite which I’m fine with. I just rather work on other stuff and not invest in collecting stuff even if it’s stuff I wanted or upgrading.

Hey man, I’ve been a subscriber since 2010 when I was only 14 years old and collecting Marvel Legends. I always followed guys like Shartimus, Sentry and of course you. Today I’m 28, I have a beautiful wife and two gorgeous daughters and to this day I still have a love for figures (even asked my wife for a Batmobile and Berserk figures for Christmas lol). I can’t express how thankful I am to have grown up with guys like you on KZbin who’ve really motivated me to express my passion in figures at a young age and how much joy you’ve given me watching all your vids. As I’ve gotten older, I’m afraid to say that even I have gone through something similar to a certain degree. I run my own Personal Training business, and unfortunately it’s gone under slowly but surely and I’ve made the choice in a month or so to take up a new but of course a fortunate one for both me and my family. When things like this happen, it almost always comes bitter but I’ve come to believe as I’ve reflected in my life in other moments like this that it is almost always an opportunity for you to grow and a blessing in disguise. Some things no matter how you fight it when things don’t work out, just aren’t meant to be. When the world and everything in the universe gives you all the signs it’s time to move on no matter how hard it is, it’s a sign trying to push you into a better position and happier one. You’ve done an amazing job on this platform and brought an endless amount of joy to people like me for years. I don’t toy collect a whole lot but I’m very selective on what I get and I’m happy with that. My daughter is 4, and she absolutely loves Spiderman and figures. I know I’m probably gonna be helping her on her toy hunts and I’m so excited to do so as it’s a love of mine, but as I buy figures for me and my daughter there’s a part of me that’ll always reminisce when I collected a lot and watching your reviews. Thank you Sean for everything. I pray you find your calling and I still hope you come on this platform with whatever path you choose as I’ll always support you.

Hey Sean hang in there buddy. Honestly I have a personal preference of collecting just Statues like from McFarlane or dc direct. PVC diamond select. I feel like it’s more for adults and I just appreciate it more.
