Dude, I'm overwhelmed that you would think of me in one of your videos. Yes life is hard but you are so right. You have to rise above and appreciate what you have and who is in your life to support you. Right now I have my dog Jackson, he's my boy. The reason I wake up everyday. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of Emma and how I want to be with her again, but that's not the way. She would want me to go on and build my life and celebrate her and that's what I'm doing tonight. Raising a glass to the greatest woman I have ever known beside my Mom, knowing the are together looking after me helps me continue on. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this and all your videos. You are so real and a true inspiration in a medium filled with fake people it's nice to know you , Vala , Tony, Lazerpants and Mike are keeping it 100%. My love to you and your ladies on this Valentines night and take care, brother.
Nothing but love and support to you as well Alan I love your outlook on what Emma would want. Thank you for supporting the channel I told you I'd have you in mind during the next keep it real video so no worries I had to. 🙏🏽 Hopefully we get to meet in person at s convention 1 day.
Ninja's a great guy, I hope to meet him when I make it to a con sometime, but going through the same thing you going through, I know first hand it is not easy, They are times I will find things of her she swore to me were someplace in the house and I looked like multiple times and it was not there only to find it where she said it was now, The pain comes now in waves but I myself have 6 grandbabies to tell abou t how awesome there grandma was, So I hope you have someone who gives you a reason to keep going forward, For Ninja was right, Never give up, Keep striving forward cause she would want you to, So raising a glass to you and yours and wishing you the best, And to Ninja, Thank you for another quality great and powerful video,
People say "You only live once" But I Think they Got That saying Wrong ! You only Die once, You live every day.. That's why we have to make everyday count & live your life right, one bad day ,a bad week or month does not equal a bad life. On the contrary life experience & memories What make being human count. Great Video on keeping it real Ninja ! Only we know what our hearts feel !....
Back when you made that live about loss I was spending some time with my mum. She heard you're words and it got us talking about my late older brother. We both laughed and cried that day. My point is you have more of an impact than I believe you realize. Much love and all my respect to you, yours, A Kenny. And everyone in this community. Also I just felt I needed to say I really needed this video right now. Thank you
The smallest gesture of kindness, can move the world sometimes. Thank you for doing these ninja. Feeling is dangerous business for folks. Myself included. Some wounds dont close up all the way? Love does alot of things. You rise, you fall with it. Love makes you vulnerable. But that vulnerability, makes you a better person. But when its taken, when it dissolves, those days are harder. Hold onto what you have. But dont grip it with a fist.
Thank you Ninja. Thank you, thank you, thank you… Powerful words from a powerful person. And yes that chat was heavy that night, condolences again to Kenny, I can’t even imagine… May love and positivity be transferred to you. My wifey watched this video with me and she was in tears, in a good way, but she told me to let you know you made her cry. One ❤.
Brother you keep those videos coming they're helping people you never know what people are going through it's working congratulations on your marriage we got you ninja
Ninja, I have said it before and I will continue to say it to anyone and everyone. You are wise beyond your years and you have truly touched many people’s lives. Thank you, and keep on doing what you do.

Thank you Ninja for being that branch that reaches out in a community that sometimes ignores the darkness. And for those hurt, confused, having those thoughts, you have resources. In the US, 988. If you have friends that you don't know they're going through the darkness, reach out. Ask questions. Even listening matters. Because yall matter.
Thx for these. Estranged from my family, I was informed this summer when my mom passed. I didn't even know she was sick. at least I have my wife and 3 girls.
I lost my mom to Covid in May 2020. There has been a big hole in my heart since then. I remind people constantly to treasure their mom while they have them, and sometimes I add a line like “because life sucks without them.” Thanks for doing these videos Ninja. The toy ones are great, but these videos can really affect someone positively.
These keeping it real videos are so heavy but even it I don't need this emotional support right now (but I do), I know that these videos are there for us. Ninja, bro, you get me. You get us! Thank you.
Kenny, you have my deepest condolences on the loss of your wife. I can't imagine the heartbreak that you are going through. God bless you and yours, stay strong.
Thank you for this. It’s easy to take the people and things in our lives for granted. I for one have been working on trying to get better at letting the people I about know how much they matter and enjoying the things that I have
As always! Much love!! Thank you for these!!! One of my favorite parts of your content and channel. And you’re soo right! I feel the exact same way now about how I had almost let my depression win. It’s a struggle still but I cling onto the positives in my life. And when those thoughts come creeping, I reaffirm myself in those positives and push through. Because I know I’m better now than I was. And after hitting rock bottom, I have nowhere else to go but up! Thank you for all that you do ninja. Work hard on encouraging those around me. Because I don’t want them to experience the things that I have. Hopefully that I can help them to do better and better.
Keep up the good work Ninja! I'm going through a ruff few months and these vids always make me refocus my mind and energy away from the darker places this life can throw at us. Thanks Ninja and the Ninja clan 🙏🙏
To Alan Kenny sorry for your wife's untimely passing and I know the feeling of losing a love one, but always remember the good times and bad times because memories last forever. And Ninja, dude words can't describe how I feel about you man that you already know. Respect is earned from one king to another.
I go thru my issues too, action figures on the side table keeps my hands occupied it becomes a puzzle when I find that pose on the figure 📸 it does put a smile on my face for the moment. It helps mentally until we go back to reality (back to work). Thank you Ninja
Dude, you always weigh heavy with these, and that is a good thing. Lost my Dad 20 years ago, still think about him all the time. You never get over it, just learn to live with it. You also learn to appreciate the great things you have, I never honestly thought about it in relation to collecting though, I guess I always had a separation there. Like collecting is that, life is this. Yeah I love a new toy especially after having to sell some of my old collection for survival. But I am not refilling the holes necessarily, but picking up where I left off because life got to complex.
Walked in my house, and it was silent. My baby girl gets discharged tomorrow. Thank you, thank yer ladies and thank the clan. I just listened the vid only, as it broke through the silent house.
I've been through a few emotionally abusive relationships and it hits me pretty hard around this time of year. The saying "Time heals all wounds" is complete b.s. Sometimes the best we can hope is for those wounds to leave scars and for the pain to dull. I'm so glad to be a part of this community and your videos have often cheered me up when I was going through rough times. I hope things keep going well for you and look forward to seeing even more of your stuff in the future.
Just tuning in and I had to pause so I could comment. I’m always stoked when you do a “keep it real”. Thank you for putting emotion and feelings and mental health out there.
I believe watching channels like Hollywood graveyard and ask a mortician strangely helped me to deal with the death of my parents, especially when my dad died and I had to look at him on the kitchen floor for as long as i did and deal with all the related stuff.
Ninja’s mind and morals are just built differently. You have to have lost and grown from that loss to even be able to articulate a thought this big. Definitely wise beyond his years.
Man, I'm a new subscriber and I'm so impressed... I wasn't expecting this, but thank you. I became a collector because of my depression a few months ago. My doctor said I have to have a hobby, something to drive my attention and create positive thoughts. You have no idea how impactful this video was for me. Thank you.
I just joined your channel recently. I just watched this episode just now. All I can say is wow thank you. This is the video I didn’t know I needed. I lost two loved ones in two years. My figures bring me so much joy. It takes the pain away even for just a little bit. Thanks for making this video Ninja 💯
Please keep making these Keeping it real videos Articulated Ninja Reviews they really help. People that came in my life some of them that meant a lot to me are no longer alive. There memories however, are still alive in me. Someone once said as life gives you things, it slowly takes them away. Thank you Articulated Ninja Reviews you rock!!!
Raising my hand for being that 1 person When you stated the emptiness you feel sometimes when you look at your collection....that hit me hard. When I found your channel, I never thought that I would be listening to a figure collector and tearing up because he feels the same way as me. Thank you for the therapeutic cry today, they are needed.
Your words and videos help so much, I'm in a low point. Romantic love is dead and gone for me and I'm trying to rebuild myself. Also focus on my little girl.
This is for anybody that’s going through depression and darkness right now. I am turning 42 today and I’ve been through so much and depression of divorce and betrayal gets better losing both my parents, losing a grandfather and ants losing people that I cared about betrayed by the ones that claim to love me Divorce by people that say they love me but try to change me I promise you it does get better every day is one day at a time every day every day is a chance to get stronger. I like to use the Dragon Ball Z reference every time one of the characters get hurt they bounce back this is no different except now you have a whole community that has your back and I hope this finds your way to you Kenny, or whoever is need these words today. Take care and God bless.
Got to meet you today at zolocon and just thank you in person for making these videos. Those people that do good and help others deserve to hear thanks and appreciation. You are great appreciated we all have our own demons and sometimes its nice to be reminded we aren't alone. Thank you Thank you 🙏

You have a much bigger and heavier impact than you could ever imagine. You are the ONLY creator doing anything like this, and it DOES matter.
