RetroBlasting Owes You An Apology!
I am sorry to make a video with an overall negative tone but I feel that it is my responsibility to bring this issue to your attention. @RetroBlasting has not taken responsibility for his mistakes and seems incapable of admitting that he endorsed a scam product.

Well said and good on you for doing the video. A lot of other people have been saying the same. Count me as one too. Being called out for doing something wrong happens to us all. Personally I am glad when someone does this with me. As this is usually caused by stress and is able to sort out what has been happening. With this your one voice among a sea of support he has. So an apology is never coming forth. Also I think he did have a financial link. That with being a paying customer who paid up front and in full. So until the product was delivered. He had the right to updates or even demand information. And from what I see he didn't. With him given Conrad a pretty easy run. While with Chris Krahn of The Fans Strike Back. It is a completely different situation. I have lost count of the amount of videos. So great video and thank you for reading this comment.
Tip for anyone not wanting to buy a ridiculous expensive wire cutter. Buy some single wire and stick those in between to AA batteries. Insulate the places you need to hold on to. Make a pattern out of cardboard to use as a jig.
Whats the price on them
If you still have this one how's it holding out 10 years in?
pretty much the same as when it was new
Just picked this guy up 12 years later🤣 Too iconic not to have. they dont make em like they used to i hope hot toys continues the militaries of star wars figures. Good review
How much are these? I found one on a dump site today
@zataniika6840 They were 25 new. Now there like 40-60 secondary market
I love this figure. I find that the ROTS figure of Anakin that doesn’t have a weird slash or Vader helmet gimmick is so rare
❤❤❤❤
I made one too i wish you could see it
I just found one in a thifstore, bought it for reselling but as you said is pretty realistic so I guess is a keeper.
I’m gonna buy this denal but new it’s like 70 bucks but used it’s like 25 so is it worth getting new or just get him used
Very cool armor, makes them look like space samurai.
I've been trying to find an answer to what might have clipped on the rear where there is an obvious attachment point. After watching this, I'm assuming that the rear lower cannon would have mounted there.
Disney's in charge of Star Wars now, Captain Fordo is considered part of the original expanded universe so they probably don't give a damn enough to even do it since they all they wanna do is create new stories 😵💫😵💫🤢🤮🤮🤮
Excellent video brother,love those ship.
Have there been any new versions? 2024 now it’s been a while !!!
@DavidLamison No new releases at this time unfortunately
@@RygarTheDestroyer212 damn! I’m ready for a modern remastered version of the tiger shark one. Just recently rewatched the 2D clone wars series and MAN.
Congrats, you lost yourself a subscriber. I hate this drama BS .
It’s missing accuracy with the blaster pistols being bigger like in the show
The legs on my tridroid are warped and won't stand up straight.
Michael is an insufferable prick
He's a miserable gatekeeper, and his "the fans are doing the best work" schtick has cost a fair chunk of change on junk that won't ever arrive. If he "endorses" something, stand well back........
Thank you for the review
What oil did you use for the shaft?
Just hope that you don’t get a copyright strike from him
I hope not! I will say that the clips used in this video are transformative in nature and do work as a substitution for the original work. Therefore it falls under the umbrella of fair use. Thanks for watching :)
Used to love his channel. Happened to comment there not long ago. I mentioned how I used to enjoy it when all his videos weren't just him being miserable. He and a couple of his fans blew up on me. He instantly threatened to ban me. Seems like he got bullied pretty bad at some point in his life. Bummer.
I bet that Michael's army of lapdogs are going to rage at the comment section any minute now.
@benjerison7074 It's already happening unfortunately
At 2:53 into your video you state that Michael French/Retroblasting "endorsed" the kickstarter. Yet at 3:17 you state that he bought the kit in an offering after the kickstarter had funded. In less than a half of a minute you contradict yourself. If I understand correctly, that would mean the kickstarter was successfully funded, and Mars INC was offering preorders after the kickstarter. If this is true, there is a big difference in expectations between an active kickstarter project and a preorder. Misleading people about said expectations for any preorders is solely the responsibility of Mars Inc. Choosing to fund a kickstarter is always a risk at best. Offering a preorder implies production is ready to go ahead and a safer bet to customers. There is a big difference between the two. You imply RT tried to influence viewers into participating in the Kickstarter, yet you downplay that RT stated he bought into the preorder only. That is misleading. At 9:48 you say you have no idea who RT describes as the "Canadian Warrior Poet". Then the 11:00 mark you admit you watched a re-upload of said Canadian Warrior Poet's video. You honestley can not figure out who CWP is? Really? Why is that? The reason why RT mentions CWP is to show the bias of critics of RT. Critics of RT demand that RT take responsibility for people being empty handed after choosing to give Mars Inc money. Yet CWP can also profile the Airwolf kit but is immune from any responsibility by the critics of RT. Plus he didn't even buy ino it . And you failed to mention why you had to watch a re-upload of CWP's video. He took it down after it was clear Mars Inc was never going to fulfill the orders of the Airwolf kit. RT has been transparent. CWP has been hiding his tracks. There is a clear difference between the two. Yet you only demand an apology only from RT. Why?
@trentrolfingsmeier Hello thank you for leaving your concerns and questions in the comments section. When I say that RB endorsed the product I do not mean that he was paid to say nice things. I genuinely believe he thought that the product was nice and the final would turn out well. He did however endorse the product by giving the prototype a positive review and posting a video about it on his channel. He is a respected toy reviewer and his opinion carries a lot of weight within his community. So when a product does not hold up to expectations it reflects poorly on him even if his is not tied directly to the company. The re-upload of CWPs video also uses the nick name. I have the link to that video in the description if you would like to watch. This man may own his audience and apology too which I covered in the video. This is a straw man argument by RB which is why I brought it up in the video. Hopefully this answers your questions and I wish you the best :)
I used to watch retroblasting but got tired of michaels negativity. I endure for a while because sometimes he does make fun entertaining videos, but I stopped when he started attacking other youtubers, and i couldnt take it anymore because i knew half the things he said were not true. (He still owes an apology to @spectorcreative1872 ) Took me a while but I realize retroblasting is a snob channel, they likes custom made toys (A good example is stan solo and his horrible overpriced kenner look alikes toys that look like they belong in a bargain bin) and he dispises mass produced ones (Such as hasbro, neca and others). While i wont waste my time defending companies i jsut have better thingd to do that see someone with so much privilege that he complaints about hobby you are suppose to enjoy (, if you dont like it why even bother? )
Rygar you are full of 💩
Jesus you guys are pathetic!!!
Lol he will give people an apology when he stops wearing shirts with buttons on the shoulders.
They are called epilates, you God forsaken pleb! Get it right next time, @ThatJunkman! Just kidding, love ya' you Fat AlBret fan!
Ahh you are an inferior channel and want to try to get views by having issues with Michael & Retroblasting, got it. Lots of you out there. Good luck.
Michael did you no wrong. He's out several hundred dollars like so many others. Why now, after 2 months, are you making this video? Are you clout chasing? Trying to draw in the people who obsess over content attacking RetroBlasting? Make no mistake, they'll flock to this video. They'll comment on this and share it within their circle of friends. They'll crap on Michael in the comments. They're already doing it. People accused Michael of being a paid advertiser of this product. He wasn't. People blamed him because they chose to invest in something. People with credit cards are adults who are responsible for their own decisions. People claimed that he was the reason this project funded. It funded before he placed his order and before he made his video. In the months following, people didn't like that he didn't make the kind of follow-up video they wanted when they wanted him to make them. He isn't on the payroll of other preorder customers, so they can't dictate when and how he responds. Michael got burned by this like many others. Yet people continue misdirect their anger at him rather than pursuing the real criminal, Conrad Murphy.
Oh grow up, Michael's lapdog.
We all know Mikey and his minion Anal Hurt toys are sorry😂😂😂
I think RB is on the side of right. This channel is wrong.
Damn I subscribed super recenrly, so seeing new life in the channel is cool
Hello thanks for watching!
I've followed RetroBlasting for many years now, and for the most part, I enjoy his reviews. I may not agree with all of them, but he speaks his mind, and I respect that. However, it's clear that he has a massive ego. Or, at the very least, he has a tendency to speak with a very "holier-than-thou" attitude. Everything he says is "gospel truth" in his eyes, and if you disagree with him, well, you're either wrong or an idiot, or both. I agree that he should swallow his pride, admit he was wrong, and apologize to his fans for misleading them, inadvertently or otherwise.
Very thoughtfully put. Ego is a difficult thing to overcome, especially online. However, it is important for growth. My hope is that he can apologize and move forward.
@@RygarTheDestroyer212 I hope so too. As I said, I actually enjoy his reviews, and I want to continue to support him and see more of them, but as of late, his attitude is really starting to bring me down. This whole Airwolf fiasco, combined with his recent remarks on the HasLab Star Wars Cantina, and just his general negativity overall... He's about to lose a subscriber, and if this continues, I know I won't be the only one...
The general negativity on his channel has been growing for a few years. Its something he has even addressed in some of his videos. I'm interested in his toy videos not a constant barrage of negative commentary. Hopefully he will turn it around because I think what you said about him losing subscribers will come true.... if it hasn't started already.
@@RygarTheDestroyer212 Indeed. He needs to back off on the things that upset him, and focus on the things he likes. But then again, I just watched his latest video on a rare Transformers card-stock play set, and even then he had a rather antagonistic attitude towards Transformers fans because... 1) Most of them didn't know this play set existed. 2) The fans consider Transformers to be "action figures" and he doesn't for some reason... 3) The fans consider large scale Transformers like Fortress Maximus to be play sets and he doesn't for some reason.... Even when he's not exactly "angry" about something in the toy industry, he just gives off a very bitter vibe.
I haven't watched that video yet, but it sounds like its just more of the same from RetroBlasting
Retroblasting gets way to overhyped on new projects that eventually do not follow thru. He also supports them longer than he should.
I agree. In my opinion he should have been more skeptical during his Q and A livestream because there were plenty of warning signs coming from the Airwolf project.
Its better than the 100 other videos that just cry about how everything is woke and everything is terrible. For a channel about "toys" and "collecting" there are an insane amount of everything is woke, Star Wars is woke, woke, woke, woke videos and, always seems to have a "stopped production on a new video" excuse. I guess its not shocking since alot of channels have started to figure out that if you make negative videos or everything is woke and terrible videos they do better than "retrospective" videos.
@@RygarTheDestroyer212 yeah - the same issues with Retroblasting happened with the Smithlord Star Wars Last 17 project. People asked him to sound the alarm and say something and he refused. He believed we were going to get our toys. Even though the guy who used to own the company warned everyone (including Retroblasting) that he mistakenly sold his company to someone who turned it into a scam. Michael French has proven himself to be either incredibly gullible, or he was benefiting in some way by ignoring very valid news tips. Either way - the guy lost all of his authenticity and audience good will. Sucks to suck.
#GoJunkman Now Trending . (: They used to be Casual Friends I guess it Was up untill Supposed Mike had Argued and attacked at That Junkman and in videos too , then he brought In Analog Toys to Also Argue and fight etc with Junkman too and All things 80s Neal too at a point of it all too as scandalous as it sounds.
Booshty Memory Cont. : I Told Mike in the live stream it was a So far Ok ish Video. And he right away annoyed seeming asked me what ISH means why did I say Ish ? Am I being a Wiseass to him ? Then another fan jumps in starts asking where's my content ? Why am I complaining? I honest said it was all top of my head why i said Ish. And Apologized for saying ish. THEN Mike says Well in the Chat Types Out , I know what you are doing Dave stop it just Stop it. I was SO Confused As Hugely Huh ? Odds are you Can All See These Interactions During the Retroblasting Indy 5 Chat Replay.
He does not seem to handle criticism of any kind very well. His comments sections are highly moderated to remove the majority of comments that disagree with him. It is my opinion that no one can be right all the time and that a healthy amount of constructive criticism is reasonable.
I happened To Watch Retro blasting now for feels a few years or more and I like the Info tainment the vids can be and are at times. But especially in these last like 4 years or so That French Guy Flips out always seems miserable , is a Chat Stream Natzi type too , pardon the term. I was in the Indy 5 Discussion along the chat stream on that movies review on that Chanell Retro blasting every chatter was either praising Mike and such Or they were puzzled sounding asking why Mike seems miserable etc and then seeing live these chatters get booted off the chat and stream over and over ones more too. It real literal felt IF you did not praise Mike you were bully questioned about being there ?
Used to follow his channel a couple of years back, not even interested in toys but always fun to listen to people who obsessively geek out about something. I was very surprised to see the amount of drama (not only on his channel) that grown up toy collectors get drawn into, from pro/con regarding star wars repros to Hasbro releases being subpar/too expensive - I came to the conclusion, life is to short to spend listening to grown ups creating drama about toys.
As a toy collector myself, I often say, "Just because we collect toys, it doesn't mean we should act like children".
I think that is an excellent point
@@RygarTheDestroyer212 Thank you very much.
The ones who always complain about toys are always the toxic ones no matter how much spin they put in their arguments.
Bro, the legend has returned? Oh, sorry I have been binge watching your Star Wars toy reviews and unboxing videos. And I'm really impressed with how much Star Wars stuff you have and collection grown over the years I'm a hardcore Star Wars guy too... May the force be with you..
Lol I know its been awhile
I have watched these other awesome Star Wars review channels, DanielEast1000, DarthPhoenix619, JediM4str, this Star Warsnut77 etc. I mean SithLord229 returned a few months ago, i think in his other live streams in the past about new Star Wars content being made, like New movies and comics.
I had no idea that SithLord229 was back! I used to watch his stuff all the time! Frankly he was an inspiration for this channel.
@@RygarTheDestroyer212 Umm.. I guess I have a generic username... I mean my name is not so creative and original.
So I guess you have been busy unfortunately..
If you are interested in watching any of the videos to add additional context please check the description.
The head doesn't swivel on mine and it was created with a crack in the neck. I know it's more rare.
Any idea on how much mine is worth? It's much more delicate.
Any idea how much it's worth?
