I remember getting one of their old ULTRAMAN kits (might've been just Eastern Model and not yolopart) which if I'm remembering correctly had nightmarishly hard plastic and were unpleasant to build. So it's interesting that they're now doing these giga simple so called model kits.

both these and the blockees really deserve a western importation. they're the perfect collectible, simple enough for kids but detailed enough for collectors. Im more partial to the blockees (because of their squat aesthetics) but I see the appeal in these too. Here's hoping they make a Nemesis Prime so I can give myself an excuse to buy one of these guys

I was "this" close to putting in a photo of jar jar, the hero masher, when I discussed them. In my ideal world, prices of jar jar hero masher figures skyrocket on eBay because you made them so popular, and everyone is emulating your vids! I try really hard to put in lots of sound effects. Usually, I have the video finished for a long time before I get the nerve up to edit the voice-over and sound effects. I messed up the recording levels on my voice over, but couldn't force myself to re-record them correctly. Do you have any Blokees?

Waffling and forms from parts? Are you sure it's not done by hasbro? I kid, I kid. I've branched out to the third party stuff and found myself getting some mini type figs too. As long as you like it, doesn't matter, transforming or not. Also how could I pass up the chance to nominate a Bumblebee video? I mean no one ever covers him. Love the animations, the handing prime his weapon bit was great. Thanks for sharing CB.

I love the looks of these guys, not sure who I'd like to see next but it would be nice to see another one, maybe two in the same video to show the parts swapping you hinted at. Maybe something to show some of the interchangeable ball joints, but also which ones can't swap? I get the feeling someone like Soundwave would look very silly with Bumblebee's limbs. Also, if you're going to bait me with that comic-homage in the thumbnail, it would be nice if you include it in the actual video.
@CardboardBots2 күн бұрын
Sorry about the thumbnail being a bit of a bait and switch. I did it as the last thing in my process as an afterthought. I shot the whole animation before writing the script. I thought about not talking about the limb swapping, but I wanted to talk about these toys in the context of hero mashers and blokees. I was too mentally exhausted to do more shooting of limb swapping. If I animate more of these, I'll include some more evidence of swapping.

I like to think of Bumblebee as a realistic VW Beetle but jacked up with big tires in the rear like the G1 minicar. I think the Cali surfer crowd popularized this look in the '60s. It makes him seem a little cooler than just a plain Bug. The original G1 toy seems to have been loosely based on a VW Model 111-1200A Sparkäfer Saloon (left-hand drive Standard Beetle Sedan for Euro continental export), with flat windshield, squared-corner bumpers (instead of bulky US safety bumpers) with integrated front headlights (instead of US fendertop headlights). However, it also adds the single right-side exhaust pipe outlet indicative of the US emissions controls introduced in 1975. The G1 yellow over black coloration of the body over the robot arms with black bumpers is reminiscent of the Sonderaktion (Special Edition) Beetle called Jeans (so named for blue jeans fabric on the interior). If Bumblebee was indeed modeled after a Jeans special edition Beetle that also received the 1975 emissions controls exhaust, then that would point specifically to the *1975 S744-L16M Jeans III special edition.* That exported special edition used a color called Tunisgelb (Tunisian yellow), which was a sort of amber orange-yellow. MP-21 Bee appears to use the Tunisgelb color and black bumpers, but it drops the other Jeans III special edition appearance features, and it adds US fendertop headlights but deletes the single tailpipe. Weird.
