You’re definitely appreciated, Gavin. I think it hit me earlier this month how established you’ve become in the TF community when I saw another RUclipsr do a video review for a Repugnus toy and the entire comment section was inundated with “But Gavin!” remarks. It brought a smile to my face to see all the TRDQ love.
You're a good man, Gavin. And maybe a good lady too - I guess we'll never find out. I still go back and rewatch some of your old videos so I can laugh while looking at toys I hold dear. Nostalgia is a hell of a drug! Here's to a 2025 we'll all want to feel nostalgic about someday.
I adore the Fortress of Fangs, one of your funniest reviews! Glad to see everything going alright despite the mega low you had, and I hope to see what amazing things come from this next step in your creative Journey
I'm glad things are looking up for you this year. It sucks to be the subject of a corporate euphemism. I'm glad you are boucing back. Thank you for all you do to support the community.
@@TRDQ Maybe one of the beans from my house rolled across the ocean into yours? I mean, I did also have the Fortress Of Fangs at one point. And that thing is full of SORCERY, right?
I was a little sad this wasn't just 11 minutes of dog walking. I got the KO Seacons as a secret santa gift, they really make me smile. Thank you for all that you do!
I wasn't aware mail-away toys still existed! Your channel has almost assuredly provided the deepest dives yet into the annals of the Marvel annuals and the Manta Force, in the best ways. Best of luck next year, also you've been a grim and terrifying influence on the Repugnus aftermarket
Thank you, Gavin for being one of the best of the best on RUclips. I am always impressed with your production values, your writing and your style in general. You have a great New Year.
You started off walking down a muddy rural road. For a second there I thought you were going to "find" a ruined vintage Transformer, and the rest of the video would be an ASMR -style fake restoration.
This was the year I discovered your channel, and it's one of the things I look forward to popping up in my feed the most. No worries on sticking to a schedule, just do what you're doin', and we'll be here for it. I mean, Repugnus won't be. I can't imagine he'll find his way home from that fence post very easily, and it serves the little bastard right, cute as he is.
Happy New Year, Gavin. Very healthy assessment of what you want to do with your channel, and a great direction - you’ve carved a niche for yourself in the TF community, full of handsome, intelligent viewers who’re happy to wait for whatever you want to put out. There’s really no need for you to stick to a prohibitive schedule now - a TRDQ drop will be all the more exciting, and your fans aren’t going anywhere. Now, if you’ll quickly reassign the top toy spot to the Karnoid Black Barracuda, we’ll call it a year.
I’d somehow missed the redundancy side of stuff - v glad to hear somewhere gets to take advantage of your talent again. Same thing happened to me a few years ago and I know it’s tough in ways beyond just financial (not minimising that side of things, mind), so empathy and an ‘out the other side’ high five to you. And I’m always super glad when I hear creators say that they’re stepping back on the output/expectations to find the spark again. That’s a lesson that all of us lucky enough to be able to create for the love of it should have at the front of our minds. Also, awesome grey beard fangs - rockin it my man.
Christ! 19 quid for a fishfinger sandwich!!??? I never expected to be outraged while watching a TRDQ video but I'm already doing up a protest sign. Captain Birdseye would be appalled! I am somewhat mollified by the sight of that impressive Star Wars Lego collection. Hats off to the missus. Oh and...HAPPY NEW YEAR Gavin and Repugnas and all the TRDQ crew!!!!
Happy Hogmanay, Gavin! Thanks for an amazing year of amazing, informative and funny videos you've uploaded and I'm sure 2025 will be too! Gaun yersel big man!
Man I don’t say this lightly to anyone but I love the channel and what you’ve created so far, you make us laugh while talking about this hobby we enjoy. If you choose to release fewer but better videos that’s understandable, so don’t sweat it ok? 👍
Thank you for making amazing videos that manage to both insult the viewer and make me feel genuinely accepted in this community as a trans women. You don't make that aspect super prominent but I think that's what makes it so comforting. I love the combination of rude and heartwarming you manage to strike a perfect balance between. I hope next year is much better for you, even if that means a slower video output. I don't need consistent video uploads to still watch your channel daily. I've only had like 3 hours of sleep so this might be completely incoherent. Regardless, love ya and have a happy new year!
This is a comment I left in 2024 for the video "Toys I Did Not Review in 2024, But Did Pick Up In Then Last Twelve Months and Thought Oh That's Pretty Good", because it was a pretty good video
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Gavin! Now if you could just please stop doing that incredibly accurate impression of all our voices in your videos I'd really appreciate it, thanks. 💖
Your videos are good but do em when you want. Its honestly better to see stuff done for fun or the love of a thing and creation than just to be a job or to appease the Algorithm. The Monkey Shelf should be built on love and joy yes?

Haha incredible.
@@TRDQ I seen it too, it was tj omega reviewing cyberverse repugnus
I really need the positivity you inject into the fandom. Thanks for another year.

Hearing you talking about buildin' Lego with your lady. Wholesome AF. :)

best of luck for 2025! Glad you've got a fulfilling career!
8:17 is that a single stray Beanie Baby bean? I had one of those burst once, and I _still_ find those little white doodleys around the house.
I don't think so but I also don't know what it is
@@TRDQ Maybe one of the beans from my house rolled across the ocean into yours?

Gavin, you're an absolute gem. Your videos never fail to put a big old smile on my face. I hope 2025 brings the best for ya.
This has to be the most creative one of these types of videos
I was a little sad this wasn't just 11 minutes of dog walking. I got the KO Seacons as a secret santa gift, they really make me smile.
Thank you for all that you do!

Been here since Gens Select Rotorstorm, thanks for bringing a bit of much needed humour throughout this year, happy new year Gavin :]🎇✨️
happy new year!
Return of the ghost lady jumpscare

Happy New Year Gavin, looking forward to watching your videos in 2025!
Cheers, Gav!

Fortress of Fangs is one of ur best vids, Happy New Year everyone🥳
Take your time, Gav! You’re doing amazing stuff.
This channel single-handedly got me into transformers collecting. So thanks. I think.
Haha apologies!
Always love your stuff man
Happy new year! i can't to see what you have in store for 2025
Soundwave is coming to the LEGO icons lineup.
May the algorithm bless you
Hope you have a stellar year ahead, as well. Keep up the good work!

Hi Gavin, I'm surprised Edinburgh council haven't stepped in and cancelled this video. All the best.
I'd be surprised if that happened too!

Tha ks again for another year of laughs. Always appreciated ❤
Free Playmobil Captain Birdseye!
Happy New Year! I hope 2025 is a more settled year for you :)
If someone goes to where you left that repugnus will it be the start of the TRDQ ARG?
Not sure how long i've been subscribed but i'm sure it's been since Monkey Maynia 2023
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Gavin! Now if you could just please stop doing that incredibly accurate impression of all our voices in your videos I'd really appreciate it, thanks. 💖

Thank YOU for all that you do and just being Gavin (the best). Happy New Year to you and yours.

The ebay prices on the Fortress of Fangs beg to differ...
