    Dude! Don’t let those turd burglars get you down! I love your videos! I don’t comment, but your passion and perspective is appreciated. I also like the way you shoot, just scrolling webpages or what not. It has a relaxing coffee house vibe. Take a break but don’t let a vocal group of miserable people project their unhappiness on you my friend! Be well!

      Your response really does mean a lot to me and I might change my mind about delaying that Sky X video. I think you get exactly what I'm going for with my channel. I want it to feel like I'm there just chatting with you. I definitely do some prep and sometimes there is an outline to what I'll say off screen but mostly it's all unscripted.
      I had initially planned on not reducing my output here despite having a second channel but now I'm thinking I'll put more effort into the new channel and see if my desire to post on here returns. I'm also aware that dealing with negativity is just part of being on social media but sometimes we all just need to step away and take a breather.

      @@davidswan5295 My late father always told me “opinion’s are like assholes, and everyone thinks all of them stink but theirs!” Wise old man I had, I tell you! Take a break, but it’s a hobby, and people take it way too seriously, just know they are weird. Again, I have never played a video game about cards, know nothing about Japanese robots, but lord I love your videos. They are like a hometown eatery. Yeah it doesn’t have the pizazz and bright lights, but it has some quality cooking. Shame on folks who miss out, and hats off to the folks that “know” the local hotspot! Be well my friend!

      I have a few videos I want to make including one on The Batman figure from Mezco which is almost released. I think going forward I'm just going to be more selective about what I do videos on. I was going to do a series of videos on the Udon Street Fighter books but I think I'm going to skip it. I promise I wont just disappear even if my content does reduce somewhat. I have been putting out nearly a video a day on my other channel but it's for a very niche crowd.

    Only gripe with mezco imo is the sizing and proportions of some characters.

    • @davidswan5295

      I'm not exactly sure what you mean by sizing and proportions but I did get in a disagreement with someone over whether the Batman Ascending Knight had a different body than Supreme Knight. He was convinced that the Ascending Knight had a leaned physique than the Supreme Knight. I've held the two next to each other and I'm convinced they are the same, which means that Mezco does try to reuse bodies and I totally get that for cutting cost. This may lead to some figures having bodies that are close enough rather than perfect. I believe every figure maker does this. Obviously in the comics Frank Miller's The Dark Knight is far thicker in build than Batman Year One.

      I actually have at least four videos I need to do. At least one on the Sky X Black Getter Robo (possibly two). I want to do a mid-year awards for best figure. I need to do a video on the Mezco The Batman and I want to discuss the movie The Batman. The movie will be the most likely to get some negativity because I definitely have some complaints. I think many things were done well and some things were not done well at all. I may even do a comparison of high end black getter robos.

      The crazy thing is that you gave me absolutely all the information I needed. You answered all my questions fully and no one else needed to add anything additional. One comment I got certainly wasn't the worst but the person said that Mezco LITERALLY released a video answering my questions. First, um, I did look. That's awesome that they released a video but I kinda didn't see it. Second, I tell my kids, 'don't say literally unless it could possibly be figuratively' and I don't think Mezco could figuratively release a video.
      I was not happy yesterday but I've gotten some really nice feedback and I am already preparing some more stuff. I need to finish rewatching The Batman to write down my thoughts and I'm already preparing myself for some unhappy viewers. Great film but I confess to like it less with each viewing. My Mezco The Batman should be arriving soon.

    Having been on this platform for over 10 years, I’ve definitely felt my fair share of negativity over the years! I’ve had to take breaks in the past as well but I always found it was better to stick with things in the end!
    Also your production values are grand and part of what makes your channel unique! Just think, in a few years time that cardboard box backdrop could be seen on the same level as Ashens’ Fabled Brown Sofa! You never know!
    Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that there are plenty of positive people in the figure collecting space so please, don’t give up on us all just yet!

      Thank you. I think that figure collecting should be nothing but fun and I find the snobbishness of a minority very bizarre and unpleasant. I'd also say that I have some mild OCD and I simply can't imagine taking a hairdryer to my figure or (gasp) applying paint. I have the Mezco Darkseid figure but knocked it over a few years back giving it a tiny scuff on the head and now all I think of is that damage when I see the figure. These are just my own issues and I respect people who modify their figures, it's just not my thing. I really appreciated the nice responses I initially got on my video but they got progressively nastier until it was suggested I not buy Mezco figures. Nice way to promote the figure. It's people like you that inspire me to continue but I do think I need a break and I do have my second channel that I can focus on. I said the other channel wouldn't take away from this one but it definitely is time for a break. Thank you so much and I definitely plan to visit your channel very soon.

      @@davidswan5295Aw believe me I am exactly the same when it comes to my figures! I cannot stand even the slightest scuff on them and if ever I damage them then that’s all I think about like you say! Take a break by all means but please do come back as I enjoy your content! Plus Childish Gambino just released a new song 2 hours ago (as of this writing) called Lithonia and it honestly fits perfectly for the idiots who try to bring this hobby down! Hope to see you uploading on here again soon!

      You are 100% correct. There are certain people who like to become the arbiters or gatekeepers of a hobby and they are cancerous. Figure collecting is like a child's hobby all grown up but occasionally the collectors themselves don't grow up. Or, dare I say, maybe they are somewhere on the spectrum.
      I've seen reviewers crank their Mezco figures or remove their unremovable clothing to the point where I practically get cold sweats but those are their figures to do with as they choose. If I want to treat my figures as gentle as a lamb I just would hope people would respect my choice.
      I think I will not delay my Sky X video and I also had planned on doing a best mid year figure award but I will probably also be less likely to put out out other kinds of content. Thank you for the supportive words.
