What ya mean "as a kid" ? You're either a kid or you're not ! Lol I'm not a kid , but at 55 , I'm glad to say that MY gun noises , and other sounds of carnage , are better than ever ! And my toys ?.....little me would be green with envy ! Here's to never growing ALL the way up ! GREAT vids , definitely a labor of love !
this is exactly what we all saw when playing with miniature soldiers. i have watched everyone of these and have loved them. i have go into animating thanks to the wonderful times i spent imagining miniature battles
@@TheME2Legion I was the voice of Praetorian, the mission commander relaying orders to the units in the field. Basically the first guy you hear in the video. :)
Another masterpiece, you never fail to impress me with these videos, animation is amazing and so are the VFX and story, great job mate and cant wait for the next one!
thank you for this. Truely, thank you. Your work is amazing, clearly better than what I can do, and your film skills are superb. I honestly cannot wait to see it.
It seems the more you do this the better you are getting. Especially that little teaser at the end. Good work and thanks for the content. Was on the edge of my seat the entire time.
Every mother of a small boy needs to watch this for educational purposes, so she understands why all the stuff is standing around on the floor again and why she just cannot put it all in shelves again. 😂
I love this series so much. It has bin a long time since the last. But the Wait paid out well. Thanks for your hard work and i love how i am able to see the improvment in your skills.
Damn I just clicked this video thinking what is this ? Black star initiative taken this war to a whole new level with models and cgi and camera angles that only are found in professional productions. Amazed by the creativity and effort you put into it ❤
What a great way to end the series, or should I say, season. I don’t remember how I found you but I was just blown away with how amazing the animation was. It’s so clean!

I love watching these, I have always wanted to find someone who made stuff like this in stopmotion form and are well done with good story and animation. I noticed and admired how you made a good action movie with an original plot, without a bunch of cussing or overdone gore. That is hard to find these days, and I really appreciate you doing that. I am excited for season 2, great work!
to end the year, a good video, I didn't remember that this series existed but I watched it again and it gave me goosebumps for every episode I watched again. greetings from Uruguay and happy new year to all
Never and I mean never will I get bored of rewatching these. the story the voice acting, the animation all top-notch love it keep up the excellent job mate!!!!!
Man, you tell a great story!! Between that and the increased developments with your filmmaking, these little gems just keep getting better and better. I really hope, at some point, you can do another Q&A or a How-To video. There's some new stuff here that I'm sure we'd all like to know more about. For instance, how did you get the monitor operator in the command center to move his arms?? Regardless, great job and am looking forward to the next one.
4:36 God I love explosions. 4:40 Still kinda weirded out by his arms moving tho. 4:54 imo? Perfect place to put in Rough Journey. 5:06 continuity question; What happened to those improved armorplates? 5:09 mild CGI nitpick? maybe. iirc the downwards muzzle blast should be spreading across the front slope, not directly in front of the hull side. 6:12 I see that detail. god these are good. A tiny little turret traverse so that it's properly covering the hallway is excellent. most would just have it slide into place. 7:55 I like this detail. The vehicle skids into place to block incoming fire. And those particle effects!
Ty for this. I am clearly not the only one that this triggered a nostalgia for the hours upon hours spent playing. I am in awe at the bravery of these little men and women in the face of more technologically advanced adversary. YO JOE!
What a great grand finale of this eight part series. The progress and improvement that was shown through this has been amazing. Hopefully we will see these characters again in Season 2. Thank you for all the hard work you put into this.
YES THE ARMY WILL ALWAYS WIN! EVIL WILL NEVER TAKE OUR BELOVED WORLD WITHOUT A FIGHT! I’ve been waiting very long and very patient and this was indeed worth the wait! Great work! Cant wait for season 2!
Damn that's exactly how I would make my battles n wars when I played with my little plastic army soldiers and paratroopers when I was a little! Great times Great memories! 🤘🖤🔥🍻

*some of the voicelines,aaaugh*
is there any potential for people to send in voicelines
's a good animation, though, all aside.
In season 2 use music from Battlefield 2 modern combat. They can easy help in your video and are very good too
From today, New Year's Eve will not just be an International holiday, it will be an INTERNATIONAL Holiday!

This is truly brilliant what we all imagined as kids playing war games 5🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
It really warms my heart to know that D’s toy soldiers all United to protect a living room
The fighter jets looked insane on this one! Nice cliff-hanger at the end, keep it up.
Amazing job man! This was a real 10/10! The end was a real cliffhanger, can't wait for season 2
Hey your finnaly back! Glad this series is still going on. What a great new year's gift man.
ah yes my imagination when playing with miniature toys back when i was a kid, made me smile today, cheers! 👍👍👍
Better storyline and acting than in many Hollywood productions. I'm serious. 👍
I appreciate that this style of stop motion is still being used it’s a lot of hard and long strenuous work so I give you props !
I can't find a stopmotion that beats this, amazing effects and movement and overall a great stop motion, I love the story and can't wait for season 2!
Every mother of a small boy needs to watch this for educational purposes, so she understands why all the stuff is standing around on the floor again and why she just cannot put it all in shelves again. 😂
This is why GI Joe was such a popular cartoon. Outstanding job
I love this series so much.
It has bin a long time since the last. But the Wait paid out well.
Thanks for your hard work and i love how i am able to see the improvment in your skills.
That's why I wait and tell him to take his time , if you take your time the project ect will turn out nicely

I love this channel these videos inspired me to start my channel
