    This giveaway is STILL ACTIVE! We just moved (again) so I am going to part with more Kidrobots. Just comment and maybe I'll send one your way.

    Been a fan of Kidrobot since 2007! Crazy how the brand has changed since then..I’m not a fan of all their license brand toys, but it seems to be bringing in good revenue for KR. Nice vid!

    • @JosiahIsWrite
      @JosiahIsWrite  6 років тому +2

      Thank you! The brand really has changed, the big change came when NECA purchased them, but they are still doing what made them cool in the first place.

    In the UK, Kidrobot is very difficult to get hold of right now. Wasn't always like that! I started collecting around 2009-ish with my first figure being Kenny from South Park. There were a couple of stores in my area that had loads of KR merch available (check out my first ever video if you're interested), but they just don't stock it anymore. Found a Canadian retailer selling stuff for very reasonable prices, which is where I've been getting my vinyl crack fix after a 3 year hiatus from collecting KR. Ordered the 7" Jled Pelican't and 2 blind boxes. Your video really elevates the excitement of collecting these figures, espeially in blind boxes. Left a like :)

      Thanks! I appreciate the insight in collecting in the UK. Even as I prepped this video I realized it's much easier to collect here in Southern California than back where my family lives in Pennsylvania, so I can only imagine how things go internationally. A few other UA-camrs from Australia have also shared how it's a challenge to find them. I'll be sure to check out the video, thanks again!

    THE MEGAMAN ONES ARE SO SWEET! I started collecting Funko Pop! figures recently and I’ve just been really excited about starting a collection of any kind. So today I stumbled upon these Kidrobot figures and OMG this is so crazy! You’re the first video I watched to get an idea of the quality and the background. Will def subscribe! Thanks

    • @JosiahIsWrite
      @JosiahIsWrite  7 років тому

      Thank you! I like the Kidrobots over the Pops just because I can fit more on my shelves. I did another video sort of general tour of the shelves, so check that out. When I first put them in, it was about a 3rd of what's there now, but then it I kept adding and adding.

    @superbersyt 4 роки тому +1

    I grew up watching the simpsons and the duplicate I would want most is a standard regular homer. I've always wanted a Homer in his traditional look of any form, plush, figure, etc. Homer was my favorite growing up and for some reason they make the variant versions of characters more available than their regular forms

    • @JosiahIsWrite
      @JosiahIsWrite  4 роки тому

      Yeah, when I was collecting the first series the only actual Simpson I got multiples of was Maggie. The only variants I like are the ones if say Honer but that are actually from an episode.
