Clicks on video says to self: "how awkward can gaming memorabilia really be" First on the list; naked pregnant horror statue. Previous statement retracted
What about the PS4 Collector's Edition for Inside that came with a silicone model of The Human Blob from the end of the game made by sex mannequin company Realdoll? How did this not make the list?
Pretty much, yeah. It's a game people tend to overthink when Kojima just enjoys making really weird games because people have, and will continue to, pay him to do so. Death Stranding is legit just an excuse for him to either put his friends in a video game (Junji Ito and Del Toro) or make friends with movie people so he can do what he actually wants to do (which is make movies).
My name is Tony, I do work with whiz-bang gizmos that may or may not involve reactors and exoskeletons, and I do rather have a weakness for redheads. Can't quite manage the goatee, though.
I was worried that the light up fetus wouldn’t be part of this list. One of my best friends has it and it creeps me out, but it’s his prized possession.
"It's definitely something you can put on your coffee table to have admiring visitors ask 'What's with the weird baby on your coffee table?"' ...much like a real baby.
@@FranciscoTChavez Well I guess. Seems like the main purpose of having children for many people is shoving them and pictures in everyone's faces... So maybe if it's an IVF one? Those things are REALLY expensive, I can _kinda_ see how _someone_ out there probably wouldn't want it going to waste. Maybe stick a game-achievement-popup like sticker on it, saying _'Achievement unlocked: 86% Completion'_
Guys, I figured out Death Stranding. Hideo Kajima just walked into the studio and said, "I had the weirdest dream last night", and then the other devs said "Well, we don't have any better ideas. Let's hear it."
That might also explain some of the enemies Solid Snake had to deal with. An actual wolf trying to snipe Hideo in a dream A spider screeching about fear while Hideo is literally caught in his web (thanks tangled blankets) A mantis that responds perfectly to all of Kojima's moves like a mirror because he's perfectly psychic, then tells Hideo to use the controller instead of the dance dance revolution platform A duck that pops his head up and down from the grass while three dogs fly about. Anytime one or more of the dogs are hit, the duck laughs.
Switching out the Mortal Kombat bookends for the Dead Island Riptide: Zombie Bait Edition bikini torso would have been a better choice. Those bookends are surprisingly muted compared to what a game series like MK could have done.
Ya tbh the MK one isn't terrible whatsoever, I'm one of those die hard MK fans, and while I don't have this, I wouldn't mind owning it. I'd have to start reading again however for it to have any relevance in my life.
i mean, i find them pretty fine looking and i dont think they should even be on the list. If someone saw that on your shelf, they would probably think "oh they are just characters from some bloody videogame". With the others though, the naked woman with a glow in the dark fetus from fear 3, the fuckin baby from death stranding, the re7 finger that looks like a dildo, most of the others on this list, out of context they legit look very weird and not something someone would relate to a videogame
I actually have the bookends and have proudly displayed them since 2011! My wife even likes them. I currently use them as ends to my junji ito collection. To a horror/MK fan, they're great!
I'm not gonna lie: I think the weirdest thing I got in a collector's edition of something was some girl's underwear in an anime box set. At least, my mother thought it was hilarious for some reason.
I'm so sorry but I agree with your mother that IS hilarious and very impractical. Like if you're a guy you can't really use them, and if you're a girl they might not even be in your size.
I *wish* I could say this surprised or shocked me, but it doesn’t. This is clearly something *straight* out of Japan, where you can buy used panties in vending machines. No joke.
weirdest collector's edition item I've ever seen is back when NES was a thing, Nintendo bundled a BDSM paddle designed to look like a controller with the system for a $100
I am so pleased to admit that I actually sold the Death Stranding one as part of my job and it totally wasn't the strangest thing ever when they came to pick it up and we're like "cool, thanks for my creepy baby! I can't wait to show this to all my friends at out launch party!" Truly the best part of working in games retail. They always come up with some new nightmare fuel.
7:54 "...someone had an accident and set fire to a sensitive portion of their anatomy." Me: So, a very sensitive finger? My subconsciousness: No, it's a d**k.
@@ephemeralrawkstorm2532 Honestly, probably the same as well. RU-vid gave me three months free of Premium, which ends in a few days, but wow...I have enjoyed only having to deal with the sponsorships of RU-vidrs, instead of both that, and ads all over the place, especially as I like to watch video essays and longer forms of content. Go ahead and take my money, RU-vid, and take a slow clap while at it. You've won me over.
Richard Garriot has done some odd things over his career. Back when his game of the week was Tabula Rasa he did the space tourist thing and spent time on the ISS. Because I was the first to decrypt a message he held up from the crew capsule I got a mission patch signed by the station's crew. It's one of maybe three or four game thingies I still have.
yeah the FEAR series was one of the first i got on 360...now i have them all: FEAR, Fear: Files (expansion packs of FEAR), FEAR 2, and F3AR. the early games were much more scary (for the time anyway) and were good at making you feel like you were in a indy horror...or japanese horror...it didn't focus on graphics...just game play. FEAR 2 was still semi-scary but the graphics were better...there was certainly a greater supernatural threat level in FEAR 2. F3AR almost completley abandoned horror...focused mostly on the shooter aspect. i still think it's a great trilogy though...it does well and trying to make you think this Alma is the villain when really she is the victim (similar to certain Japanese horror films)
Describing Death stranding: Norman Reedus with a fetus, testing their Adidas As the Pony Express'd in Apocalyptically regressed America. Directed by Kojima. *DONE*
Why do I get the feeling that Jane has multiple figures and statues of naked pregnant women with glow in the dark wombs, even before the special edition of FEAR.
don't forget about how catherine's special edition had a pizza box and underwear not really "disturbing" like the rest of the entries, but more questionable in the sense of "why did you spend so much on a pizza box and underwear?"
How did y'all forget the Dead Island: Riptide's Bloody Torso?!!? Literally just a rubbery, bloody, scandily clad female torso that is just neck to belly button and no limbs. Deserved more than a slight mention
"Deserved more than a slight mention". Seems to indicate I watched the video and took note that it had only a mention at the end of the video. And the torso fits multiple categories of bizarre so I think it can be in a couple videos.
From experience, the Love Is Over edition of Catherine can be summed up as follows Audio CD of the game's soundtrack - perfectly normal T-shirt of the game's health bar - pretty normal, even if most people mistake it for a Zelda tee Polka dot boxer shorts - ...wait, what? A pillow with Catherine posing on it - ...oh look, there's the "mood killer", "deal breaker" and "red flag"
I love how casual Jane talks about stuff and then out of nowhere implies something really terrible, like making Chilli with human blood. And she acts like it's no big deal and completely normal. I love you guys
And yet, having a lovely statuette celebrating the wonder of childbirth is a "red flag" (complete with finger quotes for emphasis.) Her values are weird.
The trick is to put the glow in the dark pregnant atrocity in between the Mortal Kombat bookends so Scorpion is impaling both Sub-Zero and a horror fetus in one go.
One thing i learned about the Special Editions is that most of the items look cool but are shit quality. I bought 3 in my life, the COD Modern Warfare 2 with the Nightvision that you can't see shit, the Skyrim with Alduin which look cool but made of cheap plastic and the Elder Scrolls Online with Molag Bal also cheap plastic and his mace fell off.
Oh no that baby in a jar reminds me of the conjoined twins in a jar that used to be in my local natural history museum. They removed them a couple of years ago, but not before haunting the nightmares of every milennial and pre-milennial whose parentes thought that museum was a chill family activity.
Just do what the rest of do when our Dark Queen requests an offering. Handkerchief + Chloroform + Mike + Sacrificial knife = Goblet of Chilli sauce for Jane
Mother: Hi I'm here to pick up my son's preorder of shroud of the avatar for his birthday Employee: of course ma'am here's your vial of human blood Mother:...
Roommate: I found this in your room. Me: I can explain. You turn off the light she looks and notices something she turns on the lights and sees your bionicle collection filled with glow in the dark pieces and weapons.
Roomate:- I found this in your room. Me:- What the hell are you doing going in my room, you sick pervert? How would you like it if I went through your stuff, but that would require having to put up with the smell of your stinky socks. If you go in my room again without my permission, I will kick your arse. UNDERSTAND??????
Duke Nukem Forever - Balls of Steel Edition. I don’t know what’s harder to explain: the colorless bust of a random dude in shades, the name of the package, or the fact you waited 12 years for that game.
And it wasn't even a Duke Nukem game. It was some other FPS with a Duke Nukem coat of paint. Feels nothing like any of the previous four games in the franchise, and considering three of those were platformers, the fact that Duke 3D still managed to feel like it belonged was pretty impressive.
"Singing Andrew"-- my initial impression was that someone made a Collectible Edition based on Andy's propensity for fear singing while playing a horror game. An animatronic Corazon that sits on the table and nervously belts out a relevantly spooky sea chanty, perhaps?
Back in the 80s rocker band KISS donated blood to Marvel comics who then mixed it into their vat of red ink and printed a KISS vs. Dr. Doom comic. The first comic ever printed in blood.
Really missed the mark with two of these: no one is going to be weirded out by a NBA2K mini locker or Mortal Kombat bookends. Not to mention that Mortal Kombat is popular enough that 90% of people under the age of 50 would recognize scorpion. Just imagine thinking bookends are worse than an enormous plastic baby in a jar.
Dead Rising 2 had a rather quirky collectors edition, Zombrex Edition as it was called. Wherein you had the game case, styled like a pillbox, and a pen shaped like a syringe full of the fictional anti-zombifying drug Zombrex. Perhaps not the most morbid collectors item, but that probably would raise some eyebrows to have what appears to be a syringe full of an unknown blue fluid lying on your desk or coffee table.
I had the book ends and they are actually very cool and detailed. Way better than anything else on this list. And the book ends are actually meant to be used for your games so you can display them up right on the shelf with s certain flare.
Remember that great episode of Fraiser where he gets gifted a gross visceral collectors edition and has to pretend he likes it but doesn’t really and a whole bunch of antics transpire before he comes to realise that the gift of an awful naked monster from a friend is worth far more than good taste.. but then it never appears in another episode so he probably binned it... *jazz music*
Andy adding "don't google it, it's horrible" SO quickly after mentioning the Dead Island collector's edition was very merciful of him XD He's trying his best to look out for us (but I totally would have googled it if I hadn't already seen it)
The people who pre-ordered the collector's edition of Doom 2016 got a 12 inch Revenant statue as it's depicted in the game, a very tall skeleton smeared with gore equipped with twin rocket launchers.
Bought the Death Stranding Collectors edition a couple weeks ago. Showed my family the BB statue and my sister’s friend was in tears over how horrifying it looked. I love it especially since it lights up and can horrify my family even more. 10/10 would scare family with it again.
Thinking about the "showing this to a date" test for gaming accoutrements, and I've realized that I've been either very fortunate or have dated/married several sociopaths. The only one anyone would have commented on was the locker...
There is something deeply unsettling about Jane suggesting having a cozy moment with a 2011 date. Thanks for continuing to make these videos. They have been shown to anecdotally cure the Coronavirus. You are the true heroes here. Edit: WOW this video is way spicier than your usual stuff. I must say I approve.
mechaguess Oh no it has nothing to do with her age, just that I worry she was luring them back to her lair to eat them whole or something. I’ve actually been watching them since about 2011 😊
After 9 years I now know that the FEAR 3 figure glows in the dark! The more you know. Also, yes, I have that figure. I don't know why because I haven't even installed the game or played it even once. Might be because at the time collector's editions were still pretty rare store shelf products here and I probably figured out that buying it was special. Oh well, I think it cost a total of 20 bucks when I bought it.
@@johnheuslerjr9623There is an Quiet action figure with soft breats for you press, is not an collector edition, just and action figure and personally i like it (' _ ').
