Hey o/ I know I said I will make shorter and simpler videos but since Overwatch 2 had a rough launch I still managed to work on this more than I expected. I'm very happy with the result and I really hope I didn't miss anything important. If I did, please just leave a comment. My next video is going to focus on something in game again. Something you may already know about but I haven't seen anyone else do a video on that topic yet... As always: See 'ya next month.
It's also criminal that Nintendo had a hand in F-Zero's decline so they could have a reason not to make anymore F-Zero games. Cuz think about it, F-Zero is an intense, insanely fast anti gravity racing franchise based off of a real, globally known motorsport and somehow, it sold worse than a racing franchise based off of spamming items at each other for 3 laps.
F-Zero X might actually have some merchandise, I seen its soundtrack on CD for sale on eBay before, and I do own a F-Zero X stopwatch (I did check it and it does appear to be official to my knowledge) that was apparently a promotional item from E3 when the game was demoed
I ordered a 3d-printed model of the F-Zero GX Blue Falcon from a friend of mine and it remains one of my favorite figures to put out on display. I even painted it myself! It ended up being about a foot long, and came in two parts. But certainly the best 100$ I ever spent on merch.
I too have 3D printed F-Zero machines on display and yes, I said machines cuz I currently have 6 and those six are the Blue Falcon, Fire Stingray, Wild Goose, Golden Fox, White Cat, and Iron Tiger but I had to stop as it is a pretty expensive hobby. 😆
Finally someone covers merchandise. I think the biggest shame here is the Bandai set. That's easily the best merchandise for the F-Zero series--*bar none*. Being Japan-only though really has to stop with franchises like this, but I digress. The prices they go for are so insane, it'd be much cheaper to make your own F-Zero toys as an arts & crafts project. The Hot Violet toy was a good one for sure, but just like most of these, hard to obtain. I wish I could contribute on the merchandise front but I have none of these. I'm just glad you were able to put this out into the world.
I need, need *NEED* that Hot Violet Choro Q model, I grew up on Maximum Velocity and I've always wanted a piece of merch based on it (and Megan is my favorite pilot in the game).
There's a plethora of F-Zero merchandise ideas that Nintendo is sleeping on right now. I actually made a list of merchandise ideas, one of them being diecast F-Zero machines ranging from 1:64 scale to 1:18 scale with the bigger models having opening cockpits retractable landing gear, and fully detailed interiors.
I'm honestly surprised Nintendo didn't team up with Tamiya for a run of Mini-4WD cars based on F-Zero machines. Granted, they'd look a bit off with exposed drive and guide wheels but they'd look awesome racing around the insane courses people make for Mini-4WD. AND you could even have a bit of an iconic crossover matchup - Blue Falcon vs Avante Jr (The Avante Jr is the protagonist's car from the Mini-4WD manga and a Mini-4WD replica of Tamiya's legendary and highly innovative Avante 1/10th scale 4WD RC racing buggy).
I hope you've seen Aero GPX and Turbo Force; they arent official F-Zero games and both are still demos/play test builds...but damn if they aren't the closest we have to a new game
I have already spent some time with both of them. Both really feel like an F-Zero game, yet they still feel different enough to not be a GX copy. Can't wait for full releases to make proper videos about them in the future :)

I'll kill for a Hot Wheels collab with F-ZERO
It'd be a perfect fit
They can do it with Mario Kart, they can do it with F-Zero too cuz honestly, who wouldn't want a die-cast F-Zero machine collection?
It's criminal how underrated F-Zero is.

I really hope the Jack Levin album wasn’t a joke or anything, because that would be so cool to try to get

Your content is very good! Appreciate the fzero coverage. Someone has to do it.

The soundtracks don't count as merch?
