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.
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.
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!
@@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 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.
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
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
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 :)
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.
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.
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!
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.
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!
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.
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!
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!
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.
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?
The only real issue I have with this figure is the ab-crunch, head articulation and lack of alternate head, although I could somehow make a custom closed-petal head
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.
@@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
Every time you extend a word while describing articulation cracks me up, because it sounds like you’re hoping it doesn’t break as you describe its function.
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.
I really want this figure, but I'm waiting for maybe a price drop. I hate from what ive seen it's not in stores. All the other figures are but I have yet to see a demogorgon.
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. Edit: English isn't my native language and I really feel like there's something wrong with the grammar of the first sentence. 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.
He should have came with a closed head I’m starting to not like how all of the demogorgon merchandise has an open mouth I really like the design where it is closed
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
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. Still I'm glad to hear its an improvement over Hopper, that gives me hope for that recently revealed Vecna, that one looks tempting.
@@teamflow9975 Are you sure? At the end of season 1 when it's up against the wall and Eleven is standing right there, or the end of the new season when Hopper fights it it didn't seem as big as this figure scales, it looks like its a bit more than 9 feet. I could be wrong though.
I just got this guy and was disappointed cause Amazon sent it loose in a bag. I ended up getting a refund and got to keep him so for a free figure he’s great. Wouldn’t have been happy for 32 bucks though. Mines right arm is so tight it pops out before moving. And the pelvis piece on mine came undone.
Can a good company please get the stranger things license, im sick of the same figures over and over, buuut this demo is kinda nice after customization
I would definitely need a second closed head, along with a proper neck joint. Oh, and less gloss on joints, that’s really distracting. And I already sound like that. #VLDL even made a skit about it a couple years ago, just replayed it on Fb a day or two ago.
It was the last one at my local Walmart, haha. There were a stack of Eddies and these a few weeks ago but as soon as the second half of Season 4 hit, boom, all gone.
