This is what I love about Robo: Claims he knows nothing and not an expert on anything, loves to ramble and yet be coming up with words of wisdom that you can put on a poster and mount it on your wall. Robo, you're awesome!
Thank you as always for being such a positive voice in the community, and sharing your love of the hobby. Your weekly’s are always the highlight of my Saturday morning.
On the subject of the SH Figuarts Street Fighter line, the "Outfit 2" names refer to the fact that these are technically based on Street Fighter 6. SF6 featured redesigns for all of the returning characters, with "Outfit 2" being their classic designs.
I know they won't but I hope someone picks up street fighter 6 for some figures I'm loving the Jada figures but as an sf fan I'm kinda burnt out with 2 lines making classic outfits for the same characters and all the actual sf6 outfit 1 stuff is made by more expensive lines with the Revoltech juri and storm collectibles Luke and Ryu, hope someone like figuarts or others end up making the newcomers because I really want figures of characters like Marisa, Manon, Aki or Jamie
Brother Robo, the fact you don't always know about all the properties makes it better. I love when you come up with your own stories for the things. I just appreciate your love of toys, as adults it's nice to see others have the same joy when some people around you look at you and say toys are for kids. Keep it up you have more people who appreciate you then you have haters.
Since it wasn't mentioned, the Ultra Marines Terminator is a megafig, priced at $50, iirc. Also of note is a price increase from $20 on the last wave to $30 for this wave of 7 inch figures.
So what you're saying is...."life is short....enjoy it" vs. " life is short....slay your enemies have them driven before you and hear the lamentations of the women".......fandom.....ha........collectors can be sooo serious.........great weekly......its always a good time.....thanks Robo
A smiling superman head?! Christmas has come early! It probably won't work, but I want to try to fudge that onto Mafex Superman. If it doesn't work, I'll put this with the upcoming Wonder Woman. I'm with you on that belt though. As soon as I saw it, I thought "classic? Action Comics #1000 is classic, this is... something". Definitely wouldn't mind getting a lighter AC1000 Superman redeco to swap with or a retool of this one with the classic belt, but it's still not that big a deal.
Belt loops in his trunks. My idea is to swap heads with this "classic" and the "Hush" figure--which has belt loops on his trunks and plain yellow belt. I also plan to get the figure that comes with Kyrpto. All this time I have avoided DCmacverse Superman, and here I am about to get 3 just to get a definitive Kal figure.🙉🙈🙊
The new SHF SF are "outfit 2" because the classic outfits are the outfit 2 in SF6. Kind of a weird roundabout way of making SF6 products while reusing their older SF SHF figures.
Regarding your outro. 8billion people on the planet and No one was born with a book in their hand called life. Do what makes you happy til you’re gone. That’s all that matters.
I'm having the worst week looking after a relative in hospital and your positive, fun, no conflict energy just charges my batteries every time I see you enthusing about prity promotional pictures. Thanks man. I appreciate you. Much love from Ireland.
Please note: this is totally not a "well, actually" moment. This is just me espousing my love for a character. G2 Megatron was a beast in the short lived G2 comic. There's a one page panel of him in that comic where he's frothing at the mouth running straight ahead with guns blazing that still lives in my mind rent free. And Cobra helps him become a tank in the first place. That story in and of itself is awesome. That shoulder mounted cannon he sports? It's a Cobra rail gun.
People seriously get upset and post negative comments on these vids? I need to start reading the comments I love when people get mad over stupid stuff 😂
Your channel got me back into this hobby after I stopped when I went to college in the 90s. The fact you have to tell some viewers if you don’t like it you don’t need to purchase it is still insane to me. And keep going with the “Tales from the Tubs” series. They’re great.
Robo is such a rolemodel. I came for the toys and info, but I definitely stayed for his personality and commentary. I can watch this man talking about stuff he doesn't really know much about for hours, and I always see him speaking facts about the hobby, and lessons about life if you think about it.
Don’t ever change Robo! You’re totally the toy collector friend I love to hear from. You and I don’t even collect the same type of toys (I’m a 3.75 Star Wars guy) but, we have very similar goals and expectations from our focus, and I really appreciate that. Probably why I watch your videos that have nothing to do with my focus. Watching you feels like chatting with one of my buddies at the bar, except it’s actually involving something I’m remotely interested in 😅🍻
Robo, as a Warhammer 40k fan, I must say your description of the Ultramarines Terminator and Wolf Guard are absolutely on point. The only difference is that Space Wolves are insufferable Mary Sue space furries who just win every fight they're in and get WAY MORE EXCLUSIVE SHIT THAN EVERY OTHER SPACE MARINE CHAPTER (FUCK YOU, LEMAN RUSS!) But the World Eaters are exactly the kind of character you'd _love._ They literally just run around with chainsaw axes screaming their lungs out and hacking people to bits. That's basically all you need to know, no in--depth 3 hour video essay needed.
What Robo just said about the Warhammer space marines being "righteous grunts" isn't that far off from what they are in lore though, so he's not wrong :) Also, Robo's head canon stories? Going strong once again hehe
Wow those pandas are some sweet 80s animatronic Jim Henson Rick Baker vibes. Might have to do some twisting of the mystical money arts to get those boys
Love how Robo is my pseudo replacement for Saturday morning cartoons and cereal... and now is my go to Saturday morning show with coffee... and cereal cuz I'm still just a big kid
Booooo, boooo this man! He's not a serious collector, he's not a TRUE fan! Sorry... I just had to, hehehehe, ain't I a stinker?? Love ya Robo, keep doin what you're doin!
15:02 "I know, I could go and watch a video on youtube that will quickly bring me up to speed on the rich and convoluted history of this franchise..." ... Funniest thing he's ever said and Robo Don't Even Know.
I tried to find Warhammer lore videos on here before. They were almost all 20+ minutes and started with "look, this is just a very brief overview for this one faction...." and the comments were littered with people like me asking "wait... there's no good guys" and many wide-ranging affirmations that "No. There are not."
Your closing comments couldn't be more true! Be an enjoyer! With how much toys you cover, I can't imagine anyone who's reasonable expects you to know about it all. Unless you're completely glued to a screen, only covering what you know wouldn't be covering a lot! I'm into quite a few things you know nothing about and have covered, and it always makes me smile to see you bumble through. As long as they're not insulting the thing, I like hearing what someone not in the know thinks. Keep on doing you, Robo.
Exactly... i am an enjoyer as always... even i dont know the line of that certain figure and it looks cool.. i go for it... just enjoying every toy company is releasing.. as always.... your awesome robo.. :)
In regards to the lack of smiling Superman figures, there was actually a really great classic superman figure this year that came with a smiling head. The mezco 1/12 collective classic supes, one of my favorite pieces on my shelf, very pricey tho.
I think think the smiling Superman head looks cool but I wish the cape was more resting down so I don't need him and today is my 19th birthday so can you please wish me a Happy Birthday🎉? Thank you Robo.
I love what I collect and I enjoy your content. I feel like we could hang out and talk toys and customize and play with figures for days. And that’s what I show up for.
Dang, I completely missed out on even knowing that clone trooper 2 pack even existed. If that price is legit that's a heck of a deal, but the only way I can see that being real is if Target got with Hasbro on dropping the price so they won't have to worry about something peg-warming for a while like some of the other Star Wars stuff, among other things.
17:32 The Adeptus Astartes Terminator is simply a synonym for Space Marine Termie; it can be from almost any chapter, from Black Templars to Blood Angels.
Paulmartstore is an off-beat choice for an exclusive, but I do not mind it as much when A. it's a color variant like that versus an exclusive character/mold, and B. if it's online and not having to track down some store that is absolutely not in my neck of the woods.
I am sorry that you have to endure negative people, Robo. Every RUclips channel has people like that. Unfortunately trying to reason with them is really hard because the problem is within them. They don't realize that life is too short and too valuable to be wasted on negativity.
Paulmartstore is a local dude here in Los Angeles, as is Jada toys. They both are regular fixtures at the legendary Frank n Sons show. So an exclusive being likely a handshake deal at the show is likely.
SHF also rereleased the Droids from Ep 1. I almost missed preorders if it were not for a post that showed them. Didn’t really seem like they provided much information they were going for a second run.
Thank you for everything you do Robo. The weekly is my favorite part of the week. Not to mention the source for a lot of my toy news. You're the best Robo!!
21:56 100% Robo spitting facts once again. I know that for me it's absolutely a joyful distraction, having a busy day at work, coming back and helping put up Christmas decorations, watching some TV and a movie with the family, but a slight dose of messing around with an action figure after all that is a really great way to wind down.
@@TheFwoosh essentially, yes. Fighting games tend to do this now after giving a character a big redesign, just to vary up the looks while still keeping the iconic look in the game as an option.
I’m dreaming of the day Jada toys gets ahold of a property I know about, I’m so impressed with their street fighter figures but I just can’t justify buying a hole line for a game I don’t play
There's nothing wrong with cherry picking! I don't play Street Fighter either, but I'll get a Ryu and Ken for my Super Smash Bros collection and a Blanka and Vega just because I always liked how they looked. If Dhalsim comes with some swappable extended limbs, I'll pick him up too. But after I get those 4 or 5, I'm out. No stressing about completing a line. Just picking up some neat looking characters and calling it a day.
This is what I love about Robo: Claims he knows nothing and not an expert on anything, loves to ramble and yet be coming up with words of wisdom that you can put on a poster and mount it on your wall. Robo, you're awesome!

Just came here to say this.
I know they won't but I hope someone picks up street fighter 6 for some figures I'm loving the Jada figures but as an sf fan I'm kinda burnt out with 2 lines making classic outfits for the same characters and all the actual sf6 outfit 1 stuff is made by more expensive lines with the Revoltech juri and storm collectibles Luke and Ryu, hope someone like figuarts or others end up making the newcomers because I really want figures of characters like Marisa, Manon, Aki or Jamie
That Clone actually isn't a Lieutenant, is a phase 1 501st Clone Trooper, that is the one that appears in the Ahsoka show.
I knew there was something off....
Ep332 with a announcement of a 332nd clone trooper!! Go Robo on synchronicity.
HOW DID I MISS THIS?
Brother Robo, the fact you don't always know about all the properties makes it better. I love when you come up with your own stories for the things. I just appreciate your love of toys, as adults it's nice to see others have the same joy when some people around you look at you and say toys are for kids. Keep it up you have more people who appreciate you then you have haters.
Robo, I love your positivity. Keep doing what you do. I appreciate it.
I always appreciated your enthusiasm for your craft as well as your down-to-earth perspective. Never change sir.
You’re killin’ it Robo! My Saturday mornings aren’t the same without some Fwoosh!
Since it wasn't mentioned, the Ultra Marines Terminator is a megafig, priced at $50, iirc. Also of note is a price increase from $20 on the last wave to $30 for this wave of 7 inch figures.
Perfectly said Robo. Way too many loud mouthed miserable dbags floating around this hobby sometimes. You do you and disregard the schmucks
So what you're saying is...."life is short....enjoy it" vs. " life is short....slay your enemies have them driven before you and hear the lamentations of the women".......fandom.....ha........collectors can be sooo serious.........great weekly......its always a good time.....thanks Robo
Your very last comments were profound and so very much appreciated. They will remain with me.
Daaaaamn I forgot different SF games have a different colour 2 for Ryu, I was kinda hoping for blue with yellow headband, but I like this too I guess.
A smiling superman head?! Christmas has come early! It probably won't work, but I want to try to fudge that onto Mafex Superman. If it doesn't work, I'll put this with the upcoming Wonder Woman.
I'm with you on that belt though. As soon as I saw it, I thought "classic? Action Comics #1000 is classic, this is... something". Definitely wouldn't mind getting a lighter AC1000 Superman redeco to swap with or a retool of this one with the classic belt, but it's still not that big a deal.

I also plan to get the figure that comes with Kyrpto. All this time I have avoided DCmacverse Superman, and here I am about to get 3 just to get a definitive Kal figure.🙉🙈🙊
Mcfarlane also raised the prices on their WH40k figs by $10 unfortunately.
The new SHF SF are "outfit 2" because the classic outfits are the outfit 2 in SF6. Kind of a weird roundabout way of making SF6 products while reusing their older SF SHF figures.

The outro is reminiscent of a Charlie Brown Holiday special. Thank you for the reality check and the toy goodness!
Please note: this is totally not a "well, actually" moment. This is just me espousing my love for a character. G2 Megatron was a beast in the short lived G2 comic.

And Cobra helps him become a tank in the first place. That story in and of itself is awesome. That shoulder mounted cannon he sports? It's a Cobra rail gun.
Here's a comparison for you Robo. Adeptus Astartes are Stormtroopers, Ultramarines are the 501st
Finally someone with words I understand, haha!
People seriously get upset and post negative comments on these vids? I need to start reading the comments I love when people get mad over stupid stuff 😂

I love your videos Robo , never stop please
Looks like that classic superman is not only smiling, he might not be looking off to the side! Lol
i really like that super man it looks so so good and win i think of super man that is what i think light colors and happy
Warhammer i tend to go Joytoy.. Its smaller as I dont have so much space and they have a lot more choices..
I wandered by their booth at Toy Fair and it all looked amazing. Overwhelming but amazing.
Robo is such a rolemodel. I came for the toys and info, but I definitely stayed for his personality and commentary. I can watch this man talking about stuff he doesn't really know much about for hours, and I always see him speaking facts about the hobby, and lessons about life if you think about it.
I felt that "I don't wanna" about the Warhammer lore in my soul!
Don’t ever change Robo! You’re totally the toy collector friend I love to hear from. You and I don’t even collect the same type of toys (I’m a 3.75 Star Wars guy) but, we have very similar goals and expectations from our focus, and I really appreciate that.

Watching you feels like chatting with one of my buddies at the bar, except it’s actually involving something I’m remotely interested in 😅🍻
Cool now if only Mezco would restock Atticus
Robo, as a Warhammer 40k fan, I must say your description of the Ultramarines Terminator and Wolf Guard are absolutely on point. The only difference is that Space Wolves are insufferable Mary Sue space furries who just win every fight they're in and get WAY MORE EXCLUSIVE SHIT THAN EVERY OTHER SPACE MARINE CHAPTER (FUCK YOU, LEMAN RUSS!)
But the World Eaters are exactly the kind of character you'd _love._ They literally just run around with chainsaw axes screaming their lungs out and hacking people to bits. That's basically all you need to know, no in--depth 3 hour video essay needed.
I've gone all in on the JoyToy 40k stff.
What Robo just said about the Warhammer space marines being "righteous grunts" isn't that far off from what they are in lore though, so he's not wrong :)
Also, Robo's head canon stories? Going strong once again hehe
When are you doing outakes and bloopers?
Wow those pandas are some sweet 80s animatronic Jim Henson Rick Baker vibes. Might have to do some twisting of the mystical money arts to get those boys
"Robo" Fwoosh!! Your "The Real Deal" a true toy enthusiastic collector!! No B.S.!! Thanks, ❤ love the intro!!😮
17:50 FINALLY!!
(Also I don't think this looks like a Superboy, to me this is an almost a perfect figure version of Jorge Jimenez Superman.)
Love how Robo is my pseudo replacement for Saturday morning cartoons and cereal... and now is my go to Saturday morning show with coffee... and cereal cuz I'm still just a big kid
Booooo, boooo this man! He's not a serious collector, he's not a TRUE fan! Sorry... I just had to, hehehehe, ain't I a stinker?? Love ya Robo, keep doin what you're doin!
15:02 "I know, I could go and watch a video on youtube that will quickly bring me up to speed on the rich and convoluted history of this franchise..."
... Funniest thing he's ever said and Robo Don't Even Know.
Well said, Robo. Another great episode! Now if you’ll excuse me, I gotta finish my bowl of Christmas Crunch and open some GI joe classifieds.
I tried to find Warhammer lore videos on here before. They were almost all 20+ minutes and started with "look, this is just a very brief overview for this one faction...." and the comments were littered with people like me asking "wait... there's no good guys" and many wide-ranging affirmations that "No. There are not."

Yep. Watch every weekend just to get away for 20-30 minutes. Thanks Robo for all you do.
The epilogue - LOVE IT.
Robo pls keep doin this until your kids take over.
Signed, The Metal Shop
Exactly... i am an enjoyer as always... even i dont know the line of that certain figure and it looks cool.. i go for it... just enjoying every toy company is releasing.. as always.... your awesome robo.. :)

Appreciate the distraction. Like what you like. Food for the algorithms.
17:32 The Adeptus Astartes Terminator is simply a synonym for Space Marine Termie; it can be from almost any chapter, from Black Templars to Blood Angels.
Thanks Robo!!! That new Superman looks great. Hopefully it doesn't sell out as fast as the Wonder Woman.
Paulmartstore is an off-beat choice for an exclusive, but I do not mind it as much when A. it's a color variant like that versus an exclusive character/mold, and B. if it's online and not having to track down some store that is absolutely not in my neck of the woods.
Technically speaking the 501st Phase 1 is a live action standard 501st trooper and not a lieutenant. There were standard 501st troopers in Ahsoka.
I am sorry that you have to endure negative people, Robo. Every RUclips channel has people like that. Unfortunately trying to reason with them is really hard because the problem is within them. They don't realize that life is too short and too valuable to be wasted on negativity.

Lieutenant is mislabelled. It’s a 501st trooper but phase 1.
Okay, I kinda thought that but wasn't sure.
Thank you for everything you do Robo. The weekly is my favorite part of the week. Not to mention the source for a lot of my toy news. You're the best Robo!!
Robo..... you are awesome, and I think that says it all. Thank you for all your hard work!!!
Robo you wouldn’t believe how many of us need you on the weekends.
Epic ending to this episode truly freaking epic.
Bartholomew.. baphomet
Ying Yang.. those toys are getting so esoteric..
I want a McFarlane Christopher Reeves and George Reeves superman
Love when you philosophize for us Robo. After all… they’re just toys…
Not excited about anything guile. But the first line to release a Charlie……probably get both 😆
I was content, _content_ without preodering anything this week.. and then you showed me Yin and Yang..
Great finishing pep talk, good for morale! We shall follow the wise words of Robo!
Appreciate the video as always, especially the outro. See ya next week!
when blanka comes out you should get jada to do the blue recolor as a fwoosh exclusive ;)
Be an Enjoyer..put that in a t shirt
Hey buddy, thanks for the shout out!!!!
Like the mezco figure and the mcfarlane warhammer figures
You can imagine that Superman as a cartoon version of the Superman Returns movie.
I love your mentality about the hobby, honestly. I feel like you try to not get too jaded or take yourself too seriously.
Great shirt! Dark helmet! I also appreciate the use of the word chesticles lol!

It's called outfit 2 because the characters all got pretty big redesigns for Street Fighter VI. The second outfits are their more classic looks.
So it's outfit 2 in the later game to make it look like an earlier game? A loophole to make a more classic costume?
@@TheFwoosh essentially, yes. Fighting games tend to do this now after giving a character a big redesign, just to vary up the looks while still keeping the iconic look in the game as an option.
I worked for 13 hours today, so this was wonderful to come home to.
Wise words from robo
the last three minutes had me feeling emotional, keep doing what you do
I’m dreaming of the day Jada toys gets ahold of a property I know about, I’m so impressed with their street fighter figures but I just can’t justify buying a hole line for a game I don’t play

Shf has the street fighter 5 license and in that game the classic outfit is the costume 2
Vex also feels like he’s got a little of Klarion the Witch Boy in him too.
I watch you weekly all the way from the Gold Coast in QLD Australia. The way you present each week brings me joy. Thanks Robo!!
I hope Yin and Yang can hold lightsabers! Lol
Gratuitous generic comment! 🎉
Gracious obligatory reply!
The phase 1 trooper is a 501st trooper, not a lieutenant
My man Robo. Keep up the good work brother.
Hey man, your videos are awesome! Well done!
Maestro union Yin & Yang are looking good, interesting
Thanks for another fun episode ❤
Ps. I think I'm an 'Enjoyer' too 😊
Paulmart always cracks me up 😂.
Robo speaking from the heart
I liked the cool way you faded out, Robo.😊
outfit 2 are all street fighter 2 call backs
I'm thinking we need an out takes video.
Your alliteration is showing.
That shirt is freaking awesome!
