Yeah, I didn’t recognize him at first, either. Someone else clued me in and it was a total “D’OH!” moment that I had forgotten about him. The cereal mascot was a totally different character, looking like a Snork.
In case you were interested in knowing, McFarlane seems to no longer have the My Hero Academia license, as Bandai America is releasing their figures in the US, which they couldn’t do previously due to conflicting licensing with McFarlane, and McFarlane removed it from their listed brands.
Hmmm, interesting. I just saw the smaller scale McFarlane MHA at a store, is that a recent thing? Plus I don't have much faith in Bandai America, unless they've improved since the last time I laid hands on them.
It seems to be a very recent thing. There hasn’t been any official “statement” on it, but the signs seem to be indicating that McFarlane is done with MHA. It’s also strange because there is still a new McFarlane MHA 2-pack preorder on Amazon that keeps getting pushed back, so I don’t know for sure what’s going on. But I suppose the Bandai America figures could be potential cheaper alternatives to the Amazing Yamaguchi figures for 1/12 MHA.
Glad you covered the NECA Universal Monsters Frankenstein release, that's a contender for my favourite figure line currently. With all the shakeups in recent years with prices, budgeting and prioritising things, pretty much every line I collect has become a pick and choose situation, with a lot of second guessing on how much I really want a figure, and this is all coming from someone who's never attempted to be a completionist with any figure line. That being said, the NECA Universal Monsters line is like a warm blanket, one or two figures over a few months from a property that is near and dear, and the figures being as good as they are, that doubt that's trickled into my collecting of other lines never enters my head when it comes to those figures, and serves as a great reminder of how much I love this hobby.
Also on the Revoltech My Hero front, if you havent been keeping up with the fandom and the show it may seem like Mirko is an odd choice especially if you stopped before you met her. But she is WILDLY popular in the fandom. Way more popular than most of the students in the show who I assume youre talking about when you talk about characters that were skipped over. I bet Mirko will be one of the best selling figures in the line.
The lack of Himiko Toga though, when Shiggy and Dabi have been revealed/released... I've just recently gotten her Nendoroid figure to satisfy my desire for some sort of representation. But I NEED a 1/12th, 6-inch figure with her blood sucking syringes. So it's not only class 1-A students, but most of the villains too, who require figures that ought to have at least been shown by now, instead of Mirko (she was ok in S6, but as an anime only.. I didn't connect with her, personally)
Mirko is real cool and a great design, but it's worth mentioning that, like you say, they've skipped some that feel like they should be givens. Like, why haven't Revoltech or McFarlane, etc, done any Froppy figures yet? Mount Lady? (Granted, she might be kind of difficult to do her gimmick.)
12:20 without getting into spoilers, the white hair is a huge reveal and a pretty hefty spoiler, and yes Mirko is a lot more prominent later in the story.
Man I have been real busy lately with work so I had no idea robo moved! I was upset like where the hell did he go. But then I found robo don’t know again. It was a relief finding this channel! Collecting life doesn’t make sense without robo being involved! So thanks man it was the fastest subscription I’ve ever done! 🍻
The Fury Toys Sun Wukong looks great and even though I pre-ordered the the undamaged one I'm worried I'm missing out on not getting the battle damaged one. All the anthropomorphic figures being released by Maestro Union and Fury Toys this year are right up my ally thanks to growing up in the 80's and 90's
Talks about Monkey King figures. “…pass on it. Somebody else will buy it. Somebody else will enjoy it.” That somebody else is me. Haha. I will buy it! I’m so excited for all of them.
I love your weekly rewinds! Seeing all the cool plastic figures from so many different brands just makes me feel so good on a Saturday morning. Have a good one Robo!
Robo, your reminders that some toys may not be for you and that’s okay make you the Mr. Rogers of toy collecting. At least for me. Maybe an intro of you walking through a door and changing your shoes will cement the image. 😂 Keep Rokkonin’! Thanks for all the hard work you put into your videos!
Haha, during the cold months I go out in a heavy hoodie, come back and change into a lighter hoodie and "Won't you be my neighbor" flashes through my head every single time.
Saw Kafka in the background of the NBC Sally figured you showed, would love to see you talk about the upcoming Kaiju No. 8 figures from S.H. Figuarts coming in April!! Not sure if RoboDon'tKnow about that manga but he needs to! Especially with the anime about to drop too!
Mirko is crazy popular, she’s not in the anime tons but because she’s a badass, hot, rabbit chick there are a LOT of fans of hers. I wouldn’t be surprised if she sells as well as anyone else in the line.
I mean yeah, a digital version is included with a physical release, but McFarlane Toys are just trying to get people involved in their NFT gimmick and maybe spend $20 on virtual statues without a plastic piece. There really isn't a need to spend energy hating on it, it's 3 years too late and is going to fail because people already know that spending money on essentially nothing isn't going to work. AR models will never have the same effect as a physical item.
4:34 well my personal take and I'm sure its shared by others here, isn't the that I don't like it, nor is it non-Transforming Transformers. But hootin-nanny that price tag is something else. I physically flinched when I saw how much my fav Seeker Skywarp was running. I do dream of one day having the big three together on my shelf, matching figs to go with Coronation Starscream would be awesome. I know the MDLX are well made but $$$. Am I right people? I'm right aren't I, these things are to damn expensive.
Agreed. They look swell and all... But at that price, I could buy many transforming Transformers, Star Wars figures, or whatever. As an avid Starscream fan trying to collect most merch of the Seeker .. It hurts to see these, want these, but know I'll never be able to afford these. Same reason why I haven't jumped into the Super7 Ultimates, barring the glittery Ghost Starscream I just couldn't pass on. They're simply too above budget.
The monkey king figures are beautiful! Even if you don’t know the character, it would fit in any Planet of the Apes or Monsterverse or Mythic Legions or werewolf or something display. Digital figure is silly. But as long as there is a physical one and they are not charging extra. Yolopark! Go Robo!
It’s noon on a Tuesday. I gotta hit up the late nite Record shop Later. And I just saw the new ML reveals…including a new Cable. And ZABU BAF. (Now WHERE. IS. MY LOCKJAW????) Oh, and The Thundermans movie trailer interrupted your Deadpool dawdlings. Nice to see Chris working again.
funny thing is loosecollecter did a custom of cabbot off an old i think toybiz cable with a pony tail its on figurerealm had to have a look when i seen the video during the week .awesome thats its official like a referee with a whistle now
Are the promotional shots for the Deadpool 80th anniversary re-issue new or are the same ones used when it was first released? I ask because the in in package shots show the assault rifle as silver and red when the promo shots have a black and red color scheme.
A lot of interesting stuff announced. Might pick up the 80th Deadpool reissue as I so far only have Juggernaut wave and missed out on the SDCC Deadpool 2-pack release
And of course on Friday night 4horseman dropped their retailer incentive Jacob Marley and mask of the red death repaints. Marley glows in the dark! I wish the 1st one did that. 😂
I stopped watching My hero academia right around where you did, so I get it, but Mirko from what I can see on twitter is arguably one of the most popular characters in the series. It makes sense she is getting a figure before other characters from earlier seasons.
Qwsp is the add in with that Aquaman. he's from the fifth dimension much like Mxyzptlk...same type of powers only he worked with Aquaman unlike Mxy with Superman
Ah man. I've loved the monkey king since i was a kid. A 70s Japanese series called "monkey" or monkey magic. I'm on the fence though coz I'm extremely happy with the nottaa toys wukong. I dont want to dethrone him
The McFarlane line is something for sure. They started off trying to avoid the classic looks and do random versions of characters from more modern stuff, with a dash of familiarity divided by elusive exclusives and about half the figures end up on clearance. So I cherry picked and stopped unless a cool one off came around (Azrael, Bane, Catman, Knightfall Batman, Zur-En-Arrh, Owlman, Classic Martian Manhunter, King Shark.. ect) and now I have a bin of Batmen I have no attachment to and after missing classic Wonder Woman, the classics are temping.... but I dunno, I'm sorta okay with my NECA/DC Direct/McFarlane mix. Sorta ironic how these classics are selling out so quick.
Threezero Mega Man looks good, but not that much better than Jada's, and I think the face isn't as good. I like the energy tank, but other than that, I'm cool with the Jada, especially since we don't know if Threezero are gonna do as many Robot Masters as Jada have shown off. Glad to see the new Woody! I pre-ordered Jessie's upcoming figure and the Buzz reissue, and was _just_ about to bite the bullet on the previous Woody! Now I kinda want to wait on Buzz too...
Hmm...kind of hope/wish Hasbro would re-release that Punisher with his bike, especially now that we're getting so many Dreadnoks in Classified. Need me some more bikes for those guys, and starting with an all black bike means I got less work to do for the ideas I've got for some customs.
I hate that McFarlane is finally getting up to making more classic DC Characters for the last year or so, but are still tripling down on the lame NFT bs that makes me not want to pick up new DC Figures. That Hal and Arthur are pretty much perfect for my comic JL, but i cant stand the house of Todd's committment to nfts 🙄
“Never quote me on anything.” Robo 2024
Like what you did there
Hey, wait!
Robo for President 2024. Because he already has the most important part of the job down, he doesn’t know! 😂
No BS, no clickbait sexy cosplay, straight to the point AND with chapters??? 🤯 THANK YOU!!! 🙏🙌
The little guy with Aquaman is Quisp, a 5th Dimensional imp like Mxyzptlk and Bat-Mite.
Oooooohhhhh thx fellow nerd. I really had no clue
Oh, so he has his own little mischief maker? I did not know that! Thanks!
Yeah, I didn’t recognize him at first, either. Someone else clued me in and it was a total “D’OH!” moment that I had forgotten about him.
The cereal mascot was a totally different character, looking like a Snork.
8:37 The Monkey King was the inspiration behind a certain monkey-tailed, super-powered little boy named Son Goku (Dragon Ball). 😅

Heh, that one was on accident, swears.

Toni’s end monologue is his therapy and imma start charging him. Keep it up Robo I love it. Love learning about you
This Hal Jordan is supposed to be his first Silver Age costume.
Fury toys Sun Wukon just tops every other version out there, also their price point is beyond fantastic.
Loved the Neca rainbow logo like the old LJN logo on the original AD&D figures.
Mirko is real cool and a great design, but it's worth mentioning that, like you say, they've skipped some that feel like they should be givens. Like, why haven't Revoltech or McFarlane, etc, done any Froppy figures yet? Mount Lady? (Granted, she might be kind of difficult to do her gimmick.)
Don't forget Himiko Toga!!
“Don’t forget about pouches!”
12:20 without getting into spoilers, the white hair is a huge reveal and a pretty hefty spoiler, and yes Mirko is a lot more prominent later in the story.
Yeah, that's what I talked about when it was revealed, shouldn't have done that.
@@RoboDontKnow yeah… people take spoilers seriously (sometimes too seriously).
Some customizer should make that kyle Ryner into a mark grayson and that kilowog into an allen the alien

ROBO DO KNOW, how to be one of the coolest doods I've ever met in my life. Proud of you, man!
Sounds like Robo has a lil PTSD from the Revoltech Batman cape lol
Oh man, it's almost as bad as flocking. Almost.
Thanks so much Robo!
Weekly rewind and hot chocolate, best way to start sunday
Robo I look forward to your updates every Saturday morning its equivalent to my childhood Saturday morning cartoons thank you
I love your weekly rewinds! Seeing all the cool plastic figures from so many different brands just makes me feel so good on a Saturday morning. Have a good one Robo!
Might pick up those Green Lanterns.
Todd still doing NFT digital buildafigures and digital figures is wild. Like that market is insanely dead
Robo, your reminders that some toys may not be for you and that’s okay make you the Mr. Rogers of toy collecting. At least for me. Maybe an intro of you walking through a door and changing your shoes will cement the image. 😂
Keep Rokkonin’! Thanks for all the hard work you put into your videos!
Haha, during the cold months I go out in a heavy hoodie, come back and change into a lighter hoodie and "Won't you be my neighbor" flashes through my head every single time.
@@RoboDontKnow 🤣🤣
Love the non direct way you talked about mirko other design, haha
Haha, definitely don't want to spoil it for anyone. But I do hope that she has options for her options. Y'know?
Never quote Robo, the quote of this week.
thank you
Love it, the rambly ending especially 😊
Back in the day, one of my favorite toys was Mcfarlane toys Badrock. I would buy it again if loose collectors does him.
Cant lie loosecolector x liefeld is my most excited figure line this yr. Like damn those look good
Saw Kafka in the background of the NBC Sally figured you showed, would love to see you talk about the upcoming Kaiju No. 8 figures from S.H. Figuarts coming in April!! Not sure if RoboDon'tKnow about that manga but he needs to! Especially with the anime about to drop too!

I’m now wondering with a 3D printer is it possible to make the McFarlane digital BAF an actual physical BAF?
Mcfarlane Toys' digital store claims that digital is as good as physical and it's like, "no"
Hey at least they arent charging like twice as much for them. They clock in at $2 more expensive than a regular figure.
I mean yeah, a digital version is included with a physical release, but McFarlane Toys are just trying to get people involved in their NFT gimmick and maybe spend $20 on virtual statues without a plastic piece. There really isn't a need to spend energy hating on it, it's 3 years too late and is going to fail because people already know that spending money on essentially nothing isn't going to work.

I had a Deadpool and Wolverine add when I listened to the Marvel Legends segment.
Glad to see you again discussing action figures👍👏
Mcfarlane why oh why did you put my digital build a figure behind a physical figure pay wall 😭
That Threezero MDLX Megaman is so cool. Just wish it was a little taller. 4 inches for $40 is a little steep.
Hey man I’ve been out of the comunnity for a month and I got to say your vids make my days
The monkey king figures are beautiful! Even if you don’t know the character, it would fit in any Planet of the Apes or Monsterverse or Mythic Legions or werewolf or something display.

Yolopark! Go Robo!
I want all the pouches and stupidly huge guns!
ALL THE POUCHES! I mean.....gear and utilities and accessories.....
The two Monkey King versions look cool for those wanting to have their own animal kingdom collection Robo.😀👍
It’s noon on a Tuesday.
I gotta hit up the late nite
Record shop
Later.
And I just saw the new ML reveals…including a new Cable. And ZABU BAF.

Yes, Deadpool & Wolverine will be the only MCU movie this year. The advertising and merchandising will be insane.
Never picked up a McFarlane Kyle, so that two pack is perfect for growing my lantern Corp ❤
Are the promotional shots for the Deadpool 80th anniversary re-issue new or are the same ones used when it was first released? I ask because the in in package shots show the assault rifle as silver and red when the promo shots have a black and red color scheme.
The ones I'm using here are from the new solicitations so I'm not sure.
15:38 Is that a Kafka I see in the background?

Cool Bro 🎉
I don't know if I want to know what aquaman does with that little creature if the bug eyes are any indication.
Fingers crossed that Hasbro gives us a Vanessa figure from the Deadpool movie. I have a huge Inara-shaped hole in my Firefly collection 😅
Aw dang, I forgot they didn't make her back then. Funko....
Golden sage is just a super saiyan version lol. Its a nod that Goku was based off of him I think.
How tall is Robo?
Thank you.
He's Robo sized.
Man, I miss figures with Spring loaded action so much, these non-launchable blast effects are cool but would be so much cooler if they could fire.
I forget too. Then when it shows up in the mail, it’s like finding $20 bucks in my pocket.
great vid thx
My favourite Rob Liefield art is the Buff Captain America it's so funny
I stopped watching My hero academia right around where you did, so I get it, but Mirko from what I can see on twitter is arguably one of the most popular characters in the series. It makes sense she is getting a figure before other characters from earlier seasons.
I was half expecting the Rob Liefeld figures not to have any feet
I would have preferred it if the frostbite figure came with ice effects like the Batman and Robin wave.
11:35 thanks @Robo
Qwsp is the add in with that Aquaman. he's from the fifth dimension much like Mxyzptlk...same type of powers only he worked with Aquaman unlike Mxy with Superman
YES Bloodwulf!
20:00 Habro can take a lesson for Iceman
Ah man. I've loved the monkey king since i was a kid. A 70s Japanese series called "monkey" or monkey magic. I'm on the fence though coz I'm extremely happy with the nottaa toys wukong. I dont want to dethrone him
i was wondering were my weekly fwoosh was nice too see the weekely is here even without the fwoosh
Yolopark - "they're cool!"
I can't even fathom being excited for a BAF that pretty much literally doesn't exist. You can't even touch it. It's not real. Who enjoys that??
"Figure does not actually shoot energy"
Sadly, that shouldn't be necessary. But it definitely is.
COFFEE IS HOT
Man, we *NEED* an Iceman like that frosted Batman one of these days...
Robo, you have to catch up on MHA. The last season was NUTS!!!! ENJOY🙏🏼
I ordered a Yolopark G1 Megatron this week 😑 thanks Robo
Todd continues to make me like him less and less with time.
Peely vs Monkey King?...
Looking forward to the new DC figs, but Todd's NFT = No F--king Thanks
