I think the angel pin wins out slightly because you could dump it at a charity store and they could seamlessly integrate it into all the other angel tchotckes and they could sell it for 20p or something. The Archer one is just an unrecognizable man, even to people familiar with Star Trek.
I've seen "Mirror Universe Archer" and I still had no idea who the hell Ashen's pin badge was when he showed it off. I thought it was Lt Barcley as well.

They would be better if they weren't bland funko pop style. Why are they even characters? Why not emblems? Why is there no Star Fleet logo pin badge? That's a pin badge I'd actually want.
well, considering that they said "final pinbadge" in this one, it pretty much confirms there wont be a com badge pin, aka the one damn thing that should have been a pin!
You're absolutely right. That would have been cool, and there's enough comm badges that you could make a bunch of those and still have them all be better than the funko pins.
A Gentleman's Agreement in every fashion of the word. I applaud either of you for winning this one! Perhaps because of how close it was, can the unfortunate loser get one or two of the lesser pogs of the bunch?
Resumen Día 23 La batalla de calendarios se vuelve cada vez más tensa y tenemos nuevamente un empate entre nuestros competidores. Los días se alinearon una última vez y tenemos el día de los pines. Dan consigue un Pin, Stuart consigue un Pin, no hay mucho que decir al respecto. Al final se decidió llevar este duelo hasta sus últimas consecuencias decidiendo un Empate, dejando el resultado final a manos de lo que sea que aguarde el día 24. Stuart Hamilton: 12 Dan Verstappen: 12
My guesses for the final day are figurines. Ashens will get a ship, Nerd3 will get the doctor's phone booth. I imagine it'll come entirely down to build quality, but the Doctor Who box is so much bigger I have to imagine Nerd3 will win.
those pinbadges are fucking horrendous, who thought that chibi style worked for them?! pinbadges of daleks, cyberman head, star trek logo, these things would've been much easier as a pin-badge and would've worked so well!!
This is the most tense showdown in UA-cam history. Scholars will study it for decades to come, they'll show the entire series in schools, at least one world leader will come into office using the platform of "Fuck pin badges", and next year will be the, err, advent of POG Brand Advent Calendars.
@@fusetunes I recognized it as Mirror Archer, but I think the shirt is the wrong color. The wraparound tunic he and Kirk wore was like a light green. This looks like regular command gold.
The right decision making it winner takes it all last day. I ruined the last 2 days for myself yesterday by finding out. Day 24 could go either way to. Tho I'm more into star trek and ashens so I'm team ashens all the way.
Oh my goodness, honest to gosh I looked at that badge and thought "that kind of looks like scott baccula, I wonder if it's archer" and gosh heck I was right, I have been tainted by these and now I see patterns and details that aren't there. It does kind of look like him though
Finally got a true same item standoff! From the designs I'd go with Dan's just slightly...however, having it go for a proper final day showdown really adds to the 'drama' xD
How amusing it'll be if they both get stickers or another couple of pin badges on the 24th and this year's Advent Calendar officially ends with a draw.
I can see why most people stuck to chocolate.
Can't go wrong with with Lindt -- plus, every calendar is like a story!
Chocolate, booze, wine, anything without pins badges!
Except the guy with the beer calendar. He's having a hell of a time
I would have actually liked the cheese one if it didn't have the charcoal ones in it.
They should make a calendar exclusively with pin badges
the pin badges would have been so easy to make nice. so many designs to pick from. but no, they had to go with chibi.
The Grass Masks made that decision. After all, no human is evil enough to do that.
They could have had one of each com-insignia variation from all the various shows and it would have been actually something nice that people would have wanted. But no. Psudo-funco style SD crap. 8|
It's unfortunate, but that's sadly the style Eaglemoss chose for their pinbadges in general. It's rather absurd considering the company is actually known for realistic scale models.
Its not really chibi, chibi actually has more detail n is distinctly anime, in reality its just shit
Chibi could be fine, chibi usually actually has detail and looks unique for each character even if its super deformed. These are the same template repeated endlessly
Dan at the start of this: "I bought nice calendars this year because I'm tired of all the shitty ones we've done!"
Dan now: ...

I thought the "Not Quite Funko Pop" chibi pin badges were the worst this year, but Ashens' Day 22 pencil sharpener takes that 'honor.'
I dunno... I think the stickers are contenders.
@@wraitholme Not quite sure about the stickers, that single sticker however...
At least the pencil sharpener only showed up once.

@@m2pt5 so far id laugh if dan got a pencil sharpener on the 24th

The Funko Calendar is Top Tier on the Advent duels.
Being having a draw now they've eliminated the possibility of the whole thing being a draw, genius
Next year they should have two differently themed Funko Pop calendars - every day will be a draw because they are all awful.
@@m2pt5 Christ, do you want Dan and Stewart to actually kill themselves?
@@m2pt5 The Funko Pop calendar should be the punishment calendar. However gets the shittiest stuff also get a Funko Pop they have to have on display at there house for the rest of the year and it also have to make a apereas in at least one of there videos.

Pppppppp

If they draw again, they need to fight the reindeer in a gladitorial combat
That might be difficult, I hear he's pretty reliable.
Lol, I remember that I used to actually think Stuart and Dan stayed together all December and recorded one of these every day.
Bro they totally do idk what you mean
@@steampunklemur Oh, they totally do.
@@alicec1533 Little odd that they wear the same clothes the whole month. That's impressive dedication!
@@zrobotics Continuity is important in any production.

At least this got exciting in the end. Never expected a tie.
Now I just wish either of the last boxes contains an actual tie.
@@MegawackyMax
Too bad some people looked up the calendars and now there's posts with the final boxes. Oh well.
Two calendars, nine pin badges, over £220. Value.
...for the vendor, at least.
Gather together all the toot in each calendar and at the very most you'd pay £20 for it in one of those HMV mystery boxes.
I think the angel pin wins out slightly because you could dump it at a charity store and they could seamlessly integrate it into all the other angel tchotckes and they could sell it for 20p or something. The Archer one is just an unrecognizable man, even to people familiar with Star Trek.
22 days of TOS related stuff and then out of nowhere, alternate universe Archer.
I could tell what the angel one was and what episode and blah. Nobody recognised the other. Dan got a technical win I'd say
I can’t believe these calendars cost 110 pounds. They’re worth 30 pounds TOPS!
I was actually wondering if they'd drop in price now, now people know what crap is in it.
@@MisterCasket nah i don't think, they know a lot of people buy these things for collection and never open them, so the real value doesn't matter
@@Kio_186 hm, true.
@@MisterCasket thy've been £50 or less since about the 15th Dec.

He has not had the tree decoration.
So I believe it will be the last box.
It's not. I don't think the Trek box has a tree decoration.
I would love to see a voyager tree decoration it would make total sense
Dan's 24th is alledgely huge though
@@HasekuraIsuna size isn't everything lol
He also hasn't had a yoyo, so who knows.
Awarding them each one point for that draw was a bit generous. I'd have subtracted one each based on those badges.
I kinda miss the suffering from the cheese calendar
some of those things you could smell and taste through the screen just dreadful
My favourite was the spice calendar, the cheese one just made me want cheese . The only cheese that sounded awful was the charcoal cheese. 😝
I have never been so excited for December 24th in my entire life
First the formula one finale now this
My heart can’t take it
Calling it right now, Dan is going to be wearing the tiger jumper tomorrow
I've seen "Mirror Universe Archer" and I still had no idea who the hell Ashen's pin badge was when he showed it off. I thought it was Lt Barcley as well.

@@Ashurman666 Thank you! I had seen it...I think 'gravity tester' confuzzled me.
those pin badges would be better if it was just the heads and didnt have the diddy bodies hanging off
Not even that would save them. They're that bland and generic level of funko pop that it's damn near insulting.
They would be better if they weren't bland funko pop style.
Why are they even characters? Why not emblems? Why is there no Star Fleet logo pin badge? That's a pin badge I'd actually want.
well, considering that they said "final pinbadge" in this one, it pretty much confirms there wont be a com badge pin, aka the one damn thing that should have been a pin!
You're absolutely right. That would have been cool, and there's enough comm badges that you could make a bunch of those and still have them all be better than the funko pins.
on christmas day i hope they have a tally of how much stuff they actually want to keep
Stewart’s always mentioned having big hands but I never fully grasped that until I saw them next to someone else’s
You know what they say about people with big hands?
They got big hands.
I would 100% watch you guys playing board games
One more day and you can change your clothes Ashens. Hang in there!
Please don't ever stop these. My Xmas would be ruined without seeing the sheer disappointment of these calendars annually.
this might have been the most exciting thing ever since they "revealed" who the stig was
1:08 that is a burp of sheer anger.
I was thinking once Stu also got a pin badge that they should call it a draw, and let the 24th be the decider. I never expected Dan to say the same.
The loser will be sacrificed to the GRASSMASKS, our glorious overlords!
The time of dread looms ever closers...the Christmas day pin badge
Who else here was hoping every day that the items are getting better? We are miles away from the retail value of those calendars.
Advent calender gets me through the holidays. Thank you for your service
And then tomorrow is a draw, and we get the first Advent draw? CANT WAIT FOR THE EXCITING CONCLUSION
Day 23, Log 23: That was just piniful.
Down to the wire! It’s the 2021 F1 world championship all over again!
Not gonna lie, I could see these guys do advent calendar unboxings all year round. It's been a really fun month, but it's pog time boys.
On the plus side, today did help me figure out what the pin badges keep reminding me of. They are in the art style of Scribblenauts!
A Gentleman's Agreement in every fashion of the word. I applaud either of you for winning this one!
Perhaps because of how close it was, can the unfortunate loser get one or two of the lesser pogs of the bunch?
I'm now more excited for tomorrows video than Christmas day itself
i'm literally on the edge of my seat for tomorrow
I actually guessed Captain Archer! I’ve not even seen that show, GO ME!!! 👍
Same. I couldn't immediately figure it out, but then I remembered, Archer is the blandest looking captain
To think while there has been some crap in these boxes it's the closest Advent Calendar on this channel.
Clearly Day 24 will be the ultimate final gift of grass mask pin badges.
I fear that there will be a mighty battle for the pogs tomorrow that will decimate half the planet

I have to admit, I liked the Dr. Who pin badge.
I love how its all down to tomorrow, which generally is a good item based on almost all of my years with advent calendars
I had the exact same guess that it was Barclay, no way that's not Barclay.
Ashens hasn't had a Yo-Yo yet.
This should be good.
He also hasn't had something like the K-9 decoration and Dan hasn't had a pencil sharpener.
Well, that is clearly Kirk's shirt so it's gotta be..... Archer wearing Kirk's shirt in that one episode. Bloody hell....
A draw is fair, the decider is tomorrow!
Hope for day 24 you'll be playing that iconic music track that was playing when Kirk fought Spock
I got it right in guessing Stuart's pin; those eyebrows are a dead giveaway.
Day 23, the noise at the end still makes me giggle.
I also guessed it was Barclay. I feel vindicated.
ETA: I also drink a lot. I am double vindicated.
Captain Archer? That looks like Chekhov when they we're camping and Yosemite in one of the original series movies. XD
Been the best thing on Tv.
I am excited and terrified for Day 24
Outro music quite apt for this one given the angel pin badge.

its like at the very end of the star trek calendar they suddenly realised other series than TOS exist.
Looking forward to advend
Wow, I guessed Mirror Archer correctly. Guess I don't have to hand in my geek card yet.
He's got the long depressed face which is Archer and the wrapped shirt narrows it down
I was just like kirk again?
i thought it was archer, but i didn't recognize the shirt so i was only half right
I only caught a glimpse of the face and immediately said data! 🤦🏻♀️
@@fusetunes I recognized it as Mirror Archer, but I think the shirt is the wrong color. The wraparound tunic he and Kirk wore was like a light green. This looks like regular command gold.

The proverbial safety car has been pulled out. 🚗
It actually was a draw, neither badge was remotely interesting or good. It was 0/10 vs 0/10
Just wanna voice support for you two to do a board game show!
Oooh, exciting.
Looks like the army of grass masks are about ready to launch their advent war.
y'know, the pin badges are about the right size to wear the grass masks, perhaps they've finally found suitable hosts to graft with
I've only just seen the grass masks in the background. How did I not see any before?
A title fight as exciting as the Formula 1 championship
They played a board game on Christmas before. That weird barnyard calendar one.
Was binge watching Ashens holiday videos and that one came on out of nowhere. I had completely forgotten about it.
I say, bring back the Handjob Elf.

So many star trek pin badges and not a single Gowron, Garak or Q. Blasphemy !

Yikes! Two Pin Badges on the same day. Hopefully tomorrow's Day won't be so...badgey. LOL

It's all to play for tomorrow.

The pin badges look more amusing if you see their eyes as two giant nostrils.
