    My stomach rolled when I stumbled upon that Toy Site prototype for Zelda.
    It was awesome to see that it survived but then terrifying to think of where it ended up. Sure, positively thinking we could hope it ended up with a collector, even a clueless one who'd keep it in original condition. I'm not one who feels EVERY collectible ought to be left in box but this is a situation where the item never hit mass production and becomes an artifact exclusively. We can sure hope that, but my mind quickly drifted to someone buying this for their kid, opening, chewing its head off and chucking the box in the garbage.
    It's sad that history like this isn't preserved or documented in such a fashion that the masses can access it. It's a niche area of archeology, certainly, but come back to this in thousands of years and it fits a cultural context. It's information to our values and customs. Sure, that sounds silly now, and I'm sure someone in the distant past would find it funny to hold onto one of their pots or old clothes.
    The devil is certainly in the details.

    • @LSuperSonicQ
      @LSuperSonicQ  8 років тому +11

      Totally agree with everything you said. In fact I think we discusses this on the forums a while back. If it turns up safe and sound I'd be glad.....but yeah the deeper mystery is where is it now........

    • @TheTrueLegend
      @TheTrueLegend 8 років тому +1

      Haha, probably, I'm starting to place people from forums and facebook groups out and about here on youtube. :P
      I won't hold my breathe to see it again but I would be happy to see it end up with a collector in decent shape.

    I remember this kind of stuff got me Into lost media. I used to be OBSESSED with skylanders and in the background of one of their trailers was a "Mystery" sky landers that was a green and orange wingless dragon, and everybody who liked that game and had a UA-cam channel collectively had a seizure over it. There were apparently a few prototype toys for it, would have loved to see what's become of it now.

    • @SAWNIX

      Emily Lancaster it’s a double edge sword if they keep the prototypes they would possibly waste money on something unnecessary. Sad but true.

    • @RylieCoombe
      @RylieCoombe 4 роки тому +3

      Most prototypes are destroyed because a company has already finished creating the finale release of the item meaning they no longer need to keep the prototype which then the results are destroying it. But some employees want to take it home and sell it to other people and collectors which is how theres so many prototypes out in the wild today.

    @BlackStarofStarClanStarlords 6 років тому +1

    There was this prototype Fnaf plush I wish I had SO bad. It's the original Twisted Bonnie plushie shown by Funko to get hype for them. Unlike the one sold in stores, it's teeth are bared and it's freakin' great.

    Hello, LSuperSonicQ. I discovered your channel about an hour or two ago and was wondering if you could cover the underrated topic of the UB Funkeys prototypes from the new york comic con in 2009. The figures were never released because the company radica went bankrupt or they weren't selling as well around that time and decided to discontinue it. It would really be appreciated if you could find out where they are. I am a toy collector and have been wondering where they have been for a while now. thanks for reading

    Hey LSSQ! I have a mysterious snow leopard plush that I suspect is a prototype. The stuffed animal in question is Wild Republic brand, and was obtained at the Duluth Zoo. (in Minnesota.) Her eyes are different than the other stuffed animal from the same publisher around her time, and when mom and dad came to get an extra (in case of her... you know.) there weren't any. Some oddities I have noticed are that her paws tilt to the sides, so she can't sit up well. Her eyes also aren't placed right, as one is lower than the other. Along with that, her 'fur' mats easily, unlike others that I have had and SLEPT WITH, which don't have matted fur. This is really interesting, and I hope you can find something about her! I have tried all I can, and have found nothing.

    @barrysteakfriessimp_real 4 роки тому

    i saw some images of team fortress prototype figurines when i got bored one time and it made me wonder "whatever happened to those?". they didnt have paint, and some were just plain yellow smooth plastic. the medic, sniper and scout figurines, or "the final three" i believe were shown off at a toy fair or sonething i believe theyre most likely prototypes too. really interesting stuff, and its sad that most of them just get destroyed.
    i hope to find some one day. maybe some from jojo's bizarre adventure, haha

  • @SnakeEyesPlush

    I have an interesting case of a prototype plush! Sometime in May of this year, I bought what appears to be a TOMY Pokémon Zygarde Core "Prototype" plush off of eBay. The seller said it was a prototype. I believe it is, and here is why: Around February of this year, I found the same plush on eBay as an auction. I wanted to get it, but I wasn't able to. Someone eventually won the auction for $50. Now, I got mine from a different seller than the one who put it up for auction. It was a plush that you could buy immediately. I bought it for $30, and still have it. The normal plush is light green with a red gem in the center of its body. However, the plush I have is aqua with a darker red gem. It also had a different tush tag than the normal plush. I have pictures, and I could make a video on it if anyone is interested.
    Thank you for reading this. If anyone can contact LSuperSonicQ, please try. I think this will make a good video.

  • @ChristineSimsOfficial
    @ChristineSimsOfficial 6 років тому +1

    How do they make it to the thrift stores?Easy. Careless people. I'm sure not every employee that grabbed one was an actual collector. They may have just grabbed one thinking it would be cool to have and showoff. They may have died, or just lost complete interest in the process of spring cleaning and decided they didn't want it just laying around causing clutter anymore. Maybe not knowing it could be worth something. So they donate it. If they died, whoever got it next didn't want to them 'a toy' and donated it.

One with the modern coin block design and one based of the sprites from super mario bros on the nes. I found that the modern one which I have has less documentation and the only picture I can find of it is from the listing I bought it from. Reply if you know anything about it.
