Haha, okay, I GET IT! THERE WAS A DEMOGORGON IN FORTNITE. Some of y'all act like you've never heard me say "I don't know anything about Fortnite" about 500 times on this channel. Winky face, tongue face, winky face, kissy face.

[@himitsu_tokusketch]

dizzy face

[@Erik_Lehnsherr-MAGNETO]

Smiley face

[@93djkardiak]

My biggest gripe with these Bandai figs aside from the joints is the total lack of accessories. Like a closed face alternate head or some demo eggs would have been nice. The Eddie figure not coming with a guitar just feels criminal.

[@chaddaddywarden4349]

These figs apart from Vecna and the Demogorgon are laughably atrocious. Awful paint job, total lack of detail in sculpt, dogshit articulation and zero accessories. And pricing them at $32!

[@coywarrior71]

The demogorgon is most definitely already in Fortnite I remember being shot by it when I tried the game out for like the 3rd or 4th time.

[@deadpoolinthehouse]

It was but they took it out. I know because I lost my skin.

[@ion7966]

No they didn't you must not have bought it because me and my friends still have it

[@Garthur0]

Yup, I still have it

[@Bad_Wolf_Media]

When Robo showed the peg-holes at 1:19, all I could think was "happy feet!"

[@joeymatthews7980]

Also a great base body for monster customizers. I could see myself using this for a werewolf or Wendigo custom.

[@fratersanguinous9243]

I was thinking with a little elbow grease it could make a good absolute Carnage.

[@brianng8350]

There isn’t a good werewolf figure, right?

[@joeymatthews7980]

@@brianng8350 aside from Neca’s American Werewolf figure yeah not much. Some smaller indie companies have them. But I don’t know why they’re not more common.

[@bricarts4786]

@brianng8350 there is veteran williams from maestro union. The ultimate warewolf fig to date.

[@jrivv2239]

@@bricarts4786 Yeah, 1 year later there is a decent werewolf figure. There wasn't any real good ones up to a year ago, which why these people were looking at using this for a custom werewolf.

[@peterharkness2211]

i would say that black series is more or less perfect 1/12 scale, generally speaking, sometimes they're a bit smaller, sometimes a bit bigger but it's always very close

[@marshallkateley3417]

The Eddie figure is really great compared to the hopper and especially with the prime day deal going on right now! He's $20 instead of $30

[@DNKNW-ei5jw]

It just doesn’t look that good, and it shoulda never been $30 in the first place

[@MJKToys]

Thanks I ordered a couple!

[@jand8303]

It will drop lower in price, i got eleven and hopper for 10.00 each

[@chaddaddywarden4349]

$32 for a basic figure with zero accessories, shit articulation, terrible likeness to the actual actor, etc!!!

[@infernal27]

The bottom of the foot is the funniest thing 😂😂😂

[@scottskene8387]

Yeah, I can't unseen those Muppets at the bottom of his feet 🤣

[@patobrien1726]

At 3:35 if you look at the foot it looks like baby Groot’s face 😂

[@wraith1701]

Great review, man. 🙂 I grabbed it as well, and it’s a cool figure. I just need to work out a solid neck articulation mod.

[@IronSoul07]

The funny thing is that the denogorgon is actually a skin in fortnite you can run around as, just like mancake and beefboss

[@dylancupp1289]

The height being 10 inches is actually accurate considering how the demogorgan is 6-10 feet

[@TheFwoosh]

So you're saying 10 inches is the high side of the 6-10 feet.

[@dylancupp1289]

@@TheFwoosh basically yeah

[@eyes4power]

Thanks for the review Robo, helped me pull the trigger on picking this up, love big monsters like this. Are you going to be reviewing the Andre the Giant Bigfoot figure, exclusive through Walmart? It's a great figure, looking to get a proper Sasquatch/Wendigo head to go with the standard head. Keep up the great work sir and I hope you have fun at SDCC!

[@JH-uh9zc]

I can see a bit of Monsterarts in this guy, mostly the joints....and the "gaps". Still good on Bandi for making it somewhat affordable.

[@thelazerbricklego]

What a awesome Swoosh review 👏 👌 😀 😎.

[@Fuzzy_Barbarian]

When it comes to monstrous or larger designs, I'm cool with the scale being a bit weird exactly because they're meant to be weird/big. If I can find a place for something in a display I have, it doesn't matter if it's like 1/9 scale or something, as long as it looks good terrorising or being punched by my other figures :)

[@bjpalm1994]

My thoughts exactly, lol

[@NitroCigarette]

In case you were wondering at any point, Robo, that ''dog joint'' is called a stifle joint. This fig lookins great, despite some of the oddities like the joint colour and wash. May grab one to repaint it.

[@sal7149]

I’m glad you like it, it’s a fun figure but I ended up returning mine. Hoping to revisit it in a month or two.

[@dtorrey867]

I'm kinda waiting for this to hit clearance, but I'm very tempted. I did see online that somebody drilled a new peg hole in the head, so he can look straight up. Looked like it worked well!

[@TheFwoosh]

Nothing wrong with waiting for clearance!

[@thatguyontheinternet4]

The demogorgan is actual in fortnite. It came out 2 years ago so it fits perfectly.

[@MJKToys]

One of the things we forget as collectors is the patent office. A lot weird joints might be the results of companies using mechanical designs they have already licensed or patented themselves. Even if another method would be better, they always go the cheaper and or easier route.

[@dr.zoidberg552]

I'm sure someone has commented about it already but I can say that I picked up the Mcfarlane Demogorgan a while back and it is awesome. I only wish they had gotten around to doing a giant disgusting Mind Flayer for S3.

[@jsalani4036]

Wish I was able to get this!

[@debirujira8499]

The Demogorgon also has a drop down type hinge at the hips

[@mcrmaza]

The weird creature that stalks shelves, displays and other toylines is the Hopper figure 🤣

[@nevermindexc1964]

Beautiful figure I really enjoy the Eddie I got a couple weeks ago

[@HenshinHaro]

It’d look great with Spawn figures. Might even be a good base for a custom classic skinny Violator.

[@cptoyscollection]

Thumbs up! Great video. I hope we get a chance to buy a Dr. Mindbender...🙏

[@santiagomercado7673]

I NEED TO KNOW HOW MUCH THIS IS I NEEEEED IT

[@lareh5501]

3:13 and 9:15 are what convince to me to pick it up when it inevitably goes on clearance, as it ought to go well as a *_robeast_* for at least one of my voltron figures.

[@danielpohl8908]

First, bendie figures would have been great. Second, I too wonder about the torso. I figured mine was tight or paint was holding it. Thought about heating it up to see if that helped but worried it wasn't meant to move and that would break it

[@andyspillum3588]

I might just have to get this for my "I don't collect that shelf" with Beef Boss, that weird four armed McFarland thing, a McFarland armored dude with horns on his helmet, some robot? from Tiger and Bunny?, this upright walking frog/salamander (I don't even know where I got it) and customs that don't really represent existing IP

[@thespiderboypenn2563]

I saw the eleven at target

[@loggerbomb]

Love that Danhausen!

[@darkwoods1954]

Bandai made the same mistake McFarlane did. Too many Eleven and Hoppers and ignoring all the other characters people want.

[@joeymatthews7980]

Dammit I guess I’m getting this. All the over engineering in the feet could have gone towards more torso articulation though. I like the older McFarlane one but the joints were pretty ugly, this is better.

[@davidwestry6216]

i must have this and that vecna they revealed

[@OrangeX1010]

You should get the Eddie figure. I wonder if they upgraded him too.

[@brancobros9055]

Hey Robo, I have been a fan of yours for a while and I comment on the occasional video. Not to offend you because Fwoosh is an awesome name that just roles off the tongue but why Fwoosh?

It's too big for anything I'd want to make!

Can you fix Hopper's joints with polyurethane? I have the same problem with a figure and want to know if it's worth buying some for this sort of thing.

[@robertnewby4798]

Oh and if you don't want to pay for a Groot figure . This will be a great blank .

[@Arrowdodger]

I like the look, even if the joints are a bit glossy.

[@timtaylor2803]

This would look great fighting the Hasbro ghost busters figures

[@Emeraldnite-if7vo]

Better hope you don't hear those joints in the middle of the night... I would LOVE to get the gang from this season in their "final battle" outfits. Nancy with a shotgun, Steve with an axe, Robin with molotovs, Hopper with a sword--come on, Bandai/NECA/Mcfarlane/etc!

[@margaritabell]

haha! yeah having the full crew with those accessories would be great. I wish a toyline would take ST seriously and give us a full lineup.

[@RamWorkz]

The Demogorgon *Is* in Fortnite actually

[@classictoyreviews7435]

I like this figure for what it is, but wished it had either an alternate head or moving jaw. Mine has issues standing and have to brace him against a box.

looks cool

[@fennerarmstrong3346]

I dub thee Cutie the Foot joint.

[@Doombot_]

Robo, I popped the upper torso apart, and yeah. It's just a big empty square peg. It's glued all the way around. They didn't design it to function. Bummer!

[@TheFwoosh]

Well dang, that's disappointing. Thanks for the info!

[@darktaker666]

🤔🤔🤔🤔 is it bad I'm thinking it would be a good Body for a Custom Khonshu ?

[@antsok]

You can get him on all fours. Also the japanese magazine scan shows the japanese version comes with an alternate head

[@TheFwoosh]

Yeah, I know you can get it on all fours, but you can't get it to look up properly in that position. And I'm not familiar with the overseas version.

[@antsok]

@@TheFwoosh I think it's the same thing but just comes with an extra head or two. like the p bandai hopper is the same as the domestic one but it came with a hat and sledgehammer or pickaxe or shovel and was like $60

I've recently caught covid and ever since it has been one prolonged play day. I never thought I'd enjoy customizing so much so thanks for the inspiration.

Feel free to correct it since I'm literally applying for a job as a translator and need to improve.

@@TheFwoosh I made an outfit for black series deluxe Cal Kestus but since I couldn't go outside and buy the material I had to use whatever I could find. That being: A movie ticket for his suit, some tissue paper for his cape and a covid testing set for his weapons. I also made him a tiny covid mask. For some reason it turned out surprisingly well and I just decided to leave it unpainted. I'm currently trying to find a covid-Star Wars wordplay for his name.

It's strange how we've had two companies tackle Stranger Things figures so far and both have made oversized Demogorgons compared to the human characters in their line, both this and McFarlane.
