    100% agree with your opinion about KO’s being a gateway into the larger hobby. Thats exactly how I got into the MP/3rd party game. I also regularly send figures to both Bobby and Sony. Getting to see your own figure being reviewed is a thrill in its own right. Fantastic topic Mike. You always have a cool perspective on things. I appreciate all that you do. Thanks you.

      True they do unlock a new world to many collectors

      Also, while it's a much rarer case, winning a giveaway can also be a decent to huge gateway to collecting, or adding to a collection, or even restarting a collection. Personal examples:
      • I won MP24 Starsaber from a giveaway in a Facebook group like over a decade ago. That was my first Masterpiece figure...and what a wabbit hole I've been parachuting down!!😮😮😮
      • I won two Takara version Beyblade Burst products at two different points in time, the irony being that in both cases, the giveaways were done by the same RUclipsr. (Suffice it to say, the years between the first W and the second W were absolutely loaded with Ls.😅)
      • I had won a MotU Origins 2002 He-Man (Mattel...why y'all call it "20xx" like it's a Megaman reject? Errybody in the fandom knows that's from the 2002 cartoon!), but some serious postal mishaps caused it to be lost. Guessing some unscrupulous, unsavory character swiped it. 🤷🏽‍♂️
      • I got an absolute restart on TMNT after winning a giveaway on Instagram; the prize was all four Turtles figures from The Loyal Subjects BST AXN TMNT Arcade Edition line at the time. How'd that go? Well, since then, I bought the NECA April O'Neil 2.0 ("Mutant Interest Story" or something like that), Hasbro's Transformers x TMNT Collaborative Party Wallop (I don't care that a lot of folks see it as Metalhead, I wanna customize it into Last Ronin Mikey), and Hasbro's TMNT x Power Rangers Lightning Collection Morphed Shredder. This is an even BIGGER collection than I ever had as a kid (even with help from friends who had other stuff, I was never able to get *all four* Turtles, nevermind April or Shredder or anyone else, best I did was Mikey, Donny, and a Raph from a later subset of the OG TMNT figures).
      • And most recently, I JUST won the Fans Hobby "Athena" (Minerva) in a giveaway on RUclips, so that's another MP scale Transformer for that collection. Further down the wabbit hole I go...which is also ironic cuz I lost out on a "Power Baser" AND "Double Evil" (Super Ginrai & Overlord) in a Facebook giveaway a few years back. 🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️

    Too much money and no space is my excuse. Transformers were one of my favorite things in the 80s so it’s cool to see our childhood dreams come true . What they’re able to do is incredible engineering ❤

    Videos used to inspire me to buy transformers. Now that my collection nook is very full videos satiate my desire for new things. I get enough joy from just watching what is new be displayed on my giant tv and then if I feel like it I can go to my collction room and stare at my toys. I don't have a huge collection comparable to what most reviewers have bur I have a few dozen MPs and even more G1s as well as some star wars vintage from my childhood. The joy I get from watching videos and enjoying what I have is enough now. I do appreciate the money you guys all spend on my behalf to show off the toys.

    • @tydiriumhanger1320

    @android131c 13 часов назад +2

    chug got so much more toon accurate that i got hooked & sold my MP collection. chug is more fun to collect & less stressful to transform.
    it also seemed silly to have a $8k toy shelf in my house.
    it was months of ebay work to sell all of those MP figures.
    it was cool i could swap out both my colors of Quietus for 2 colors of chug Cyclonus. & chug Galvatron will have 2 colors soon also👍

    I collect k.o mostly to open and display. i buy authentic to save in case of future price hikes. My skin is simple. I like g1 masterpiece because they remind me of those small happy moments i experienced in an otherwise horrible childhood. the Saturday mornings with my bowl of cereal. I collect Travis Knight figures because they invoke that g1 feelings but in a more adult form for me.

    Great video, I do have a RUclips account and i watch alot of reviews and toy hunts. When its something that peaks my interest I use my voice.
    I am a transformers fan/ collectors. I preferably love all of G1 including the series that aired overseas when the show stopped airing in the states. My goal is to collect all G1 autobots and deceptions. I collect masterpiece and ko's of characters. If the masterpiece is too expensive I'll purchase the hasbro version so it can hold that characters spot until i can afford to get it in masterpiece scale.
    I enjoy watching all of your video's, whether it's you reviewing toys, toy hunting or just giving out the news. I appreciate everything you and other RUclipsr's do to make collecting fun. Thank you

    I have like 7 MPs I’m being picky and I like only certain characters, since these are expensive have to be sure to buy the right version of that character, being patient is the key I’ve sold so many figures because a better version came later.

  • @bobdobalina8910
    @bobdobalina8910 10 часов назад +1

    I always get a kick outta those that whine and complain about KOs.
    Why?
    Because, when you think about it, any 3P is a KO. They are taking Iconic Characters and producing them, as a product for consumers.
    That makes them ALL Knock Offs. Not ORIGINAL.
    Why do I like KOs?
    I like KOs because you can see the PRICE GOUGING from what it should cost with a decent mark up, to outright RIPPING you Off.
    KOs will also sometimes be BETTER than the OG one, because they will FIX the QC issues of the Original.
    Again, this is a POSITIVE and when you think about it, if you are paying a PREMIUM BLOATED INFLATED PRICE GOUGING RIP OFF Price, then it is only fair that you get a PERFECT product that does NOT have QC issues.
    Lastly, KOs also allow you to buy multiples, giving you a "Bot and "Alt mode, for often less than the OG.
    Remember, KOs of anything wouldn't exist, if
    A) There wasn't Market Demand,
    B) The Prices were NOT so high
    and
    C) There was enough to go around.
    Example - How many PAID BIG DOLLARS for MP47 Hound and were disappointed and it broke or had QC issues?

    I do use RUclips videos to decide which MP's I will be adding to my collection and to learn how to transform them (I don't even bother looking at included instructions sheets anymore). But I will also watch videos just for entertainment, even if I already know I'm not buying the figure being reviewed.
    Hey Mike, all the way back in May I tried to connect with you via e-mail to share some thoughts (I'm old school ;-). I also included a recommendation on how you can beef up your POTP Predaking after you indicated that desire in another video at the time. If that peaks your interest and if you find a moment, maybe you could dig up that e-mail. Would still love to hear back from you! I watch your Sunday news every week and almost every one of your Thursday videos and have been trying to figure out how to get in touch.

    Thank God for KO's bootlegs because they Offer a second chance to own a toy that otherwise would not be possible. Would I prefer to have everything authentic, probably but that would be stupid for several reasons like the company's that are Legit not making everything, spare parts, one to play one to display, the list goes on. Another banger vid from Tydirium.

    I buy everything from official to third-party to 4th party. Personally, I consider myself an Xtransbots fanboy. I Fts and consider them the best. But Imo there's a lot of stuff Xtransbot did better. Like the xtb Kup, Springer, Perceptor, and believe or not Cyclonus. I feel like the fts Cylonus is too slender and could be a little taller. As always Great video.

    We need to understand that people have opinions no matter what. And Their review is full of it to the point that it will either make you feel positive or negative. Stopped watching many reviewers cause of that. Once you step back from the reviews, make your choice and see what is for you, then you only realise that. Of cause that means you may lose some money and not everyone can afford that

    If it weren't for the KO TT Wheeljack I started with, I wouldn't even be collecting MP, and thanks to the KO's, I've been able to get all the Takaras that would otherwise be unobtainable. So they serve a purpose, but these companies doing a KO of brand new Unique Toys products, I'm not sure I agree with.
    Plus I collect the character, and sometimes it's not worth upgrading. NA DOTM megatron and FT Margh are both great examples. I love them, but I only have so much space and already have Alien Attack Mackron and the '24 reissue of XTB Magnus, and those are both great, despite the flaws Mackron has lol. If I had more space I'd double up just because the FT and NA do things my current copies don't. Planning on getting MPG09 Ginrai as well, but man KFC looks great just for core bot, but again, can't justify the space.

    • @scottblanco5991
      @scottblanco5991 11 часов назад

      Ko Takasa Tony Wheeljack got me started as well. They’re decent quality and I couldn’t spend a lot. Now I do spend about 125 for a figure. I won’t go over 150 for a figure.

    • @tydiriumhanger1320
      @tydiriumhanger1320  7 часов назад

      @tydiriumhanger1320 I know UT and metagate has stated that they won't be tolerating KO'S anymore, so in this case it's not just their stock being re-released, its companies doing osko or sometimes 1:1 ko but just making it cheaper to try and undercut the official.

      People who get stuff for free shill hard for the figures but borrowed reviewers spend the review talking themselves out of buying one. When you buy it for yourself you bought it because you already expect to like it. I do not spend $200 on a figure I hope to hate when it arrives

    Never heard this ‘skin’ phrase before (now I’ve heard it a lot haha), sounds a bit gross! Wonder where it originates from? Am sure there’s a UK iteration :)
    For me, I have a low-medium amount of ‘SITG’, I buy an MP or G1 / KO occasionally (eg FT Scrapper), but very much enjoy most of the collecting community vids
    Re your shill point (doesn’t that Veebs guy work for S7?), I did think the tone of Captain Kyle’s reviews changed when he started getting free punts from Temu. Toybro is another good example, though he’s fairly level - but you can hear this “this figure’s crap but they’re giving me loads of freebies so I have to be nice” tone of voice
