Here we have a summery of why Mike elected to end Plastic Apocalypse. Not the full on details, as there wasn't that much to dive into. A lot of this vid comes my discussions with Mike, and also some of my own opinion. If you want to support or check out Mike's future project, you can see it all here: reveilleshortfilm.com/

Yeah it be over, guys. I personally had nothing to do with this video so thanks for taking the time to put the word out there, Moe.

In his comment section I actually got to speak to him briefly. I asked him about bloody Omaha and AP He told me that he still loves BO and wishes to create it one day, but he is more focused on current project and will put BO on hold. Then followed that up by telling me "I have sadly grown out of AP, I wouldn't except a sequel."

Damn. All this time I kind of just accepted that it was a fact that I’d get to see Lucifer one day, and that it would be one of the best days of my life. Oh well. I can still rewatch the old ones for fun. This breaks my heart though

Really sad news, must've watched the original video over one hundred times back in the day and as sad as it is to know it's over, I'm glad that we've got such good quality videos to enjoy that did end up completed. All I can say is thank you Michael and everyone that worked on the series for the quality content. Not sure if Michael is making an actual announcement on his channel it whatever but since this is the only place I'm aware of the news I'll leave the comment here .

Depressing that it's going to be over. The memories of watching the original movie and its sequels over and over again.

The 10 year anniversary is literally on 24 hours, the same time that this video is being released. I want to cry rn

9:45 Thank you so much for the mention, for me it’s just an honor to be part of this community :), I hope to see more projects from all the members of this community soon.

Press "F" To pay respects to the soldiers Who died for a pointless war

A sad thing to be sure. Mikes stuff was always good and i always looked forward to his next project. A shame he sold his stuff and moved on, but I'm glad i was at least around to see his work throughout the years. Plastic Apocalypse will always have a place in my heart, here's hoping someone else takes the mantle of making damn good Army men animations in the future.( My next pick would be you quality wise, you're one of the few that does damn good work)

I remember with my friend,when I was younger,watching these stop-motions over and over again.and when Sabre tooth hill came out,I thought about how badass the railway guns would be.sadly that future doesn’t exsist.We will always miss you micheal Ackerman and your creation.

RIP Plastic Apocalyse - A project that albeit short-lived, performed fantastically and handsomely during it's life, even more so than my fangame.

As you get older, interests change. Totaly understandable. It's great to branch out because when you do the same content over and over again that creative spark goes away.

Great video man some very valid points made and I agree with everything said, its time to move on and except the end of a great series.

NOOOOO IT WAS MY CHILDHOOD I WANTED TO SEE THE RAIL GUN AHHHH

Very sad PA is over. Grew up watching the series, thank you for everything, Michael! Good luck on your new WW2 film, looking forward to it.

It has been an honor to have seen all of this through from the start

You really hit the nail on the head at 6:00 - 6:15 in regards to content creation and being stuck within a certain niche. Great video and an interesting watch.

Thank you Michael Ackerman for bringing us the memories of these army guys

RIP Plastic Apocalypse, you will be missed.

Even though its sad It was Mike's decision, Plastic apocalypse was the one that Inspired me to make my own Stop motions..Its hard to believe but plastic apocalypse will be in our hearts forever... Thank you mike!..

This is truely sad 😢, will never forget plastic apocalypse

I've loved Plastic Apocalypse Series although kinda sad that Micheal Akkerman sell all of his Army Men collection on eBay I'm really proud of him of making a WW2 film Reveille.

Plastic Apocalypse, and channels like yours inspired me to do the things I do today. Knowing that one of the biggest is gone and done with plastic Army Men is sad but kinda poetic in a way. Now that they are gone many other people have risen up and done there own stop motion animations and made there own stories with them.

The Green, the green will fight on forever. Fighting is what the greens are made for. And the greens always do it best!

Mike is too good artist for Just plastic soldiers. I hope he will success on his path. All i can Say is thanks to him that he inspired me for making my own films.

God damn. I've spent years invested, and it ended in the worst way. We can still appreciate the works he did make, however. Thank you, Mike.

Damn man. I was really looking forward to and hoping it would continue

Thank you for clearing this up. It took me some digging and I figured it was more of a loss of passion or monetary hardship that caused this. Mike; don't stop what you're doing. It's obvious you enjoy the live action aspect more and honestly the war in Italy isn't mentioned much so having something from that period would be amazing to see. And with that, happy hunting people.

Damn, thanks for all the memories bro stay safe 💯

nooo, why is it ending bro. We really love the content. We will never forget plastic apocalypse.

This was great you put the message straight that plastic apocalypse is over and we need to accept that and I’m fine if you want to make new content all I hope is your channel will grow bigger and better and maybe some one can make a documentary about mike akkerman all and all awesome job!

Very well said. Thanks for your work on this video and looking forward to your future endeavors.

Man that makes me sad I remember years ago when I used to watch the both of you guys all the time it's sad to hear how it's all over it was a big part of my childhood

Thanks for featuring my comment on a positive note in your video fam 🙂

The only one I believe that can rival or even surpass PA is BlackStarInitiative. Those videos are marvels for small figure animation. CGI, special effects. Though they only just now started having a story, before it was basically just action scenes, and he’s still going strong after all these years.

Well said Moe, PA maybe over but this is a opportunity for new creators to flourish and crank out there own projects instead of army men being totally rapped around PA. i also strongly agree with your statement of why creators deserve support for there different projects and and concepts. I could tell Akkerman was getting nowhere with advertising his concepts to the PA community so a farewell was indeed fair. I wish Akkerman the best of luck on Reverllie and I really enjoyed his concept art of Allied Kingdom/Spectors. (Too bad that didn’t go anywhere). And good luck to you on your future concepts, ideas, and projects.

loved what you did, have been watching Mike since I was five really good stuff and really sad but you do you.

After watching this video I was very sad pa is really what made me love green army men videos… I know he can’t just keep doing the same thing forever but…..what he was doing was inspirational and it probably why many green army men videos exist…but what really hurts is that well this is why so many people watched and loved these videos….. But he is now moving on he sold his soldiers and leaves it all for the past but…….. we can all say that his stop motions were the best. Now any one that has loved his videos……is to…….. salute in his honor but hay I’m excited to see what mike has in store for us time to go another road end see if we end in a good drive

It is what it is man. Take care Mike hope everything works out.

I think when that channel uploaded a live action ww2 thing that was the obvious sign they probably wouldn't have time or even want to do stuff with army men and focus on live action stuff.

RIP. Shall always be remembered and never forgotten

It sad learning the fate of stuff you love. I remember always wondering: when will there be a “The Saboteur 2”? Not knowing that EA basically shut down pandemic studios. At least with plastic apocalypse I know that it wasnt for corporate greed. How I found your channel was getting a suggestion by KZfaq for a armymen animation (I think it’s called the New super tank) and being like: huh… this reminds me of PA. And seeing your comment I was like, maybe he has something like this. And then finding this video. It’s bitter sweet but that’s life. Hopefully one day a group of creators might come together and maybe be guided by Mike. If anything Mike is the hideo kojima of plastic army men stop motion (high standard of production) and even if he doesn’t want to continue, at least the fans will.

Noo my fav part of this channel

Damn. I just wanted to see more Plastic Apocalypse. Also, I might be school while this video premieres

Kind of reminds me of toy story when Andy gives his toys away

I have watched him when I was 6 and now I just found out and I will miss him my childhood dream was to buy his army men collection but it was already bought and I won't be able to buy myself but he will be in are hearts always

Sorry for late reply. I accepted that plastic apocalypes is over and i will never forget that video cause it made my childhood

It makes me sad that it is gone but we can still watch it all

Yes I have waited for my entire life you made my childhood ❤️

Rip pa ,this was a great time , but the good things can’t always last forever ,see you on the flip side

Thank you General I had no idea now I can rest easy

Honestly, it ended in the right way. As it is, The Prisoner Operation, Hedge Base and The Sabertooth work fantastically as a trilogy. And the unmade stuff works as great ancillary media and background lore, making Plastic Apocalypse a setting, in the same way as Warhammer 40,000. To have created a fairly open setting from a fun summer project from over a decade ago is amazing! Reveille looks like it'll be brilliant, there's no reason for Michael to be stuck doing the same thing forever. He's like Gerry Anderson, Plastic Apocalypse was his Thunderbirds, Reveille will be his Space: 1999. And I wish him all the best.

Sad that is over but there is good videos. I’m still a collector and I will always be forever and forever.

Until seeing this video, I had absolutely no clue the series had ended! It’s a bit of sad news, but I’m glad I learned about it.

That was a great series and now its done

Plastic apocalypse had a good run eventually all good things must come to an end all we can do is move forward and look forward to the next best thing

War has ended boy's we can go home Thank you for your service Michael 🎖️

I will miss it that video was a big part of my childhood

We need to get some military honors for this channel

Im fine with him quitting, I just hope that we will have other people like you continuing to make army men stop motion

General moe i am a personaly fan of wat your doing and if u did what mike did then this well be the most depressing thing also if you make more projects. With more battles than i would be happy

Loved this series

noooo I watched this during my childhood I wanted to see more of Plastic Apocalypse :(

Rest in peace Plastic Apocalypse, the thing that brought me into Amry Men. I will admit I was in denial and bargaining, I even pestered him a little (which I apologize for) but I understand that Mike wants to work on something else and we must all except that...

And I’m going to be in school when it’s open to watch

I really hope that one day it would came back I really love this series

Forever gonna be part of my childhood and shall be passed on

I am sad cause I really like those videos but it is really cool seeing that he is making a actual live action movie

Hurryyyyyyy I really want to see dis.

I've known it was in the cards, but I'm not sad about it. I'm happy he's moved on:)

MY GOD THE NOSTALGIA

It's a real shame that PA is over, but I understand where the creator is coming from, moving onto more mature creations, I've seen how my own life has kinda become diverse and wanting to move on to something else. I'm facing that myself too in some ways.

Well I am sad to hear that plastic apocalypse is over but you know you got to do what you Gotta do I guess I myself cannot stand with the creator is going through like right now I’m still trying to work on my project and bring it to life on KZfaq and there are other projects like a bandit because I wanted to move on to something else but how do you know you do what you Gotta do to make you happy I wish him the best of luck on his future projects😎👍

I watch this when I was young bring back many memories I hope to see some thing

Es una pena que ya no hará más vídeos de plástic apocalipsis. Yo quería ver el vídeo de Lucifer.

Sorry plastic apocalypse is over I'll never forget when I first noticed last apocalypse when I first watch KZfaq since 2015 I was only 8 years old I thought Lucifer was going to come out with the sequel of the prisoner operation but it never came true so yeah that's all I have to say I'm sorry I missed the pocket apocalypse too😔

Ok, so a worrying number of you seem to think i am Mike. I AM NOT Mike, so i am not discontinuing my own channel. You ding dongs need to pay attention to the video.

I for one like your 40k vids.

Mike why? your channel is a part of my childhood he can't end in this way 😭😭😭😭

You make good videos I respect you

Nice art man

Hahaha I appreciate the RLM memes

GG

That kinda stinks because it was one of my favorite things to watch it's sad that's it's over and this was my favorite KZfaq video.

Honestly I understand for me it's with games I really enjoy playing fps shooters and people watch me for 1 thing and unfortunately it makes me think they only do things for what they want . But I do say it should be balanced and done the right way

I’m going to try.

I was strangling myself when it came to an end

Woah man

Nice vid

Wow your awsome thanks moe

I love the this video I love what you do

He grew up. I love his work!

This shows a good lesson

Reminds me of Hideo Kojima & Metal Gear Solid & how fan's expected him to make MGS forever & never explore other avenues

Pre-viewing comment: PA being over was expected. Everybody who wants another PA needs to stop blubbering about it being over. Go make your own stop motion series. Post-viewing comment: I agree whole-heartedly with everything you said. Seriously people, go watch other content creators doing this. Give them the support they need instead of wishing for another PA.

It sucks that Saber tooth was the last Plastic Apocalypse we get I loved the series but glad to see that he's doing well

Those days were deadly

swag

This is what I still suffer with Qore World! Seems Akkerman suffered a similar predicament that I suffered with my fangame. I canceled my game in 2016 and wanted to move on to greener pastures - Qore World and it's projects. But each I upload a video or announce a new game, I still receive comments urging me to revive the fangame, or "what happened to that game". Feels as if my works are ignored, sometimes deliberately in favor of that fangame. I resented this so much that I don't even want to mention the game name itself anymore, (that reason and traumatic memories). I just want to focus on Qore World now, and I'd wish fans and enthusiasts would seek value into that instead, few of the games even shares elements from my fan game. Qorena may not be Army Men, but it is still plenty of fun to play with friends, or even offline with bots. Even better, campaign is coming soon to the game, and depending on player retention and appreciation, mod support much later.
