I think you were one of (if not) the first UA-cam channels I subscribed to back in the 2010s. I’m 25, graduating college next semester and always found joy watching your videos both old and new. I know I am not the only fan to say that we are all here for you and will always support you. The toy community sadly isn’t what it used to be. You are such a genuine person with so much love, you and your family are in my prayers. I know it will get better soon my man♥️♥️
I quit doing toy reviews roughly 10 years ago, just couldn't afford it anymore. I don't make videos as often as I once did, I've been here for 15 years, but I've kinda accepted defeat I used to love watching you, Peaugh, Optibotimus, Emgo316, Sportimus, and many others back in the day. I met you at BotCon in 2010 and man that was an amazing experience Whatever the future brings for you, I hope you can make it through
It was so awesome meeting you back at Botcon! It’s just harder to stand out in this community. There is a place for everyone on UA-cam but it’s harder to stand out in certain groups without a lot of effort or luck. If I could focus all on attention or most on UA-cam I be in a better place on here but it’s hard with working full time and a toddler. I won’t give up.
Sorry you have to go through this Sean, but always remember that no matter what happens, you and your family are strong, brave and smart, and also your video reviews are always funny and entertaining.❤
This channel is where I originally found out about Hot Toys/sixth scale. It’s too bad that it’s going away but I get it. There’s a lot of competing creators out there and as mentioned working a full-time job and having a family to take care of can’t be easy to squeeze in time for reviews. Especially if they aren’t getting the views.
As a (still growing) UA-camr, I COMPLETELY understand the pain of trying to put out content you put hours of work into only to not get viewed. And the more you try and try, it just gets increasingly harder to navigate and keep up with. Not to mention it seems like the era of the internet has just been going down hill when it comes to UA-cam, but it seems like the attention span of viewers has been diluted by things like tiktok and UA-cam shorts, which is ridiculous since youtube pushes those out into the algorithm more than regular length videos. But I guess that's just how it goes. Thank you for everything man! Been watching you for about 12 years now and you always put out bangers. I wish the best for you and your family and I hope life improves for you man. It's a struggle but we got each other through it🔥🔥🔥
Sean, I’m not sure if you remember me, but I’ve been watching your videos since I was a kid. I’m now 28 and have my own family. You’ve been an inspiration to me and I always tune in. I totally understand what you’re saying, YT has changed so much since the good old days around 2008/2010. Our little community will always have those early years as fond memories, but life is so different than what it once was. I’ll forever watch your content, and be a huge fan and support you. I just wish you all the best and I’m sure things will work out for the best. You’re a legend, an absolute boss, and an integral part of my childhood. Love you dude! Good luck with the future! I can’t wait to see how your channel evolves!
Your Transformers: ROTF Burger King Toys review & G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra Storm Shadow review have been core memories for me as a fan of both franchises! I’ve practically watched those two videos annually ever since they were uploaded. As a fan who grew up with your toy reviews, I wish you the best! Thank you for all your time and effort.
I remember loving your videos when I first started collecting, and in some way watching yours and other review video seems like part of the hobby. Now I still buy figures but not as into it as I was, I know reality will sometimes force us to grow out of this hobby. It still makes me sad when youtubers that I used to love moved on, but like everything in life, nothing stays the same, and that is why we collect these toys I guess to somehow clinch on some part of our life for a bit longer. Wish you well for your life on wards and hopefully someday you are able to get back into the hobby again.
Yeah unfortunately. Sadly toy review Channels just aren’t as popular as they used to be and the people who used to watch these channels have al grown up and moved on to to stuff like overwatch and Fortnite. Which also UA-cam doesn’t even recommend videos from these channels anymore
I've always had a nostalgic feeling about your review starting my collecting hobby with you. Full support to your decision no matter what. Thank you for all the journey you took with us.
I hope you have everything you need coming to you my friend ,you’re absolutely right about everything..what you said about “your fans grew up” is facts you got a family do what you need to do to take care of them Sean , your fans will remember you regardless how absent you are, at least your real loyal ones.
Life always changes and it sucks to not be able to do what you used to do but its good you are taking care of your family and trying to find a new way to review stuff. Everyone is struggling and its okay to admit your struggling as well. It doesn't make your struggle any less relevant to you. You are not alone.
The shine of figures made from our favorite franchises has worn off because it's war out there! There's companies doing highly realistic things that are putting a disturbing stance on the collective mind's eye. 😂 ❤
If it wasn't for Sean and his friends amazing toy reviews I wouldn't have discovered hot toys and such and ever since youtube changed it's ways its not helping the reviewers do what they love most, I wish Sean and everyone the best and a early merry Christmas ❤️
It was you who got me into making Transformers reviews, and I still love making them. I’m still trying to find a good groove to making them and being satisfied post-release. Whatever happens, I’ll always cherish how you were the one who got me where I am and I’m going to miss the Sean Long toy reviews, but do what makes you happy. We’re all here for a good time. Not a long one. :) NT
It's been ages since we've hung out brotha, it sucks to know you're not doing so well and getting set back. Sometimes you gotta just do things at your own pace or have a little change to shake things up And honestly after having done it for so long and with life it does get hard especially if your heart isn't in it anymore Will always got your back when you need it
sean i think you're wonderful. whatever you feel like making, whenever you feel like making it, im down to check it out. the last thing I (and imagine many of us) would want is you doing this stuff and not feeling it or feeling rewarded. if this aint working for you it aint working for me neither
Hey Sean hang in there buddy. Honestly I have a personal preference of collecting just Statues like from McFarlane or dc direct. PVC diamond select. I feel like it’s more for adults and I just appreciate it more.
Sean, I don’t know if this was a dream I had or if it was real. But back in 2009 to 2010ish when I lived back in San Jose, I believe I had seen you at a Target. You were on the phone and looking at Toy Story toys. I was just a little kid at that time watching your Transformers Toy Reviews. Please let me know if that sounds about right 😂 otherwise it was a dream I had when I was little
I’ve been watching your content since the wayyyy early days. I remember being able to easily scroll down to your first videos. I actually have an archived video on here that was a submission to one of your giveaways back in the day and believe I was at least featured in the giveaway video, didn’t win though😂
Sean thanks for reviewing toys I watched you during your transformers revenge of the fallen figure reviews and you got me into collecting genuinely I kept a few for personal nostalgia thanks for your time and videos I’m wishing you the best for your future content 👍
Yeah you're right physical toys aren't a thing for kids that much anymore. Figures are focused more for adults. You look like you've phased out figures anyway. I had to laugh when you talked about your son and electronics. My nephews are the same way. You can put away electronic figures because that's what's replaced the hard articulated plastic figures. Take care.
I just looked through some of your recent toy reviews, and the reason it’s not working out compared to your older videos is because you are reviewing figures that arent that desired. You use to review new figures that people were excited to purchase but now you are reviewing toys nobody cares about. For example if you reviewed the newest DC mcfarlane figures, that would would be something people are searching for and therefore would get more views.
Damn I used to see this guy making toy reviews almost a decade ago. Dude just stop UA-cam and live your life with your family. Last time I saw Sean was when he broke up with his girlfriend a long time ago, shame he going through something tough again. Stay humble and work for your family man, UA-cam isn’t everything.
Toy reviews at least for Transformers have been torpedoed by PrimeVsPrime, who has effectively monopolized the entire genre. He has a clear advantage and ruins it for everyone else. Nobody wants to say it but that's the truth.
He does a great job but yeah he needs to let others shine in that space like me and others did. Really can’t do the traditional toy reviews unless you are first anymore.
I think you were one of (if not) the first UA-cam channels I subscribed to back in the 2010s. I’m 25, graduating college next semester and always found joy watching your videos both old and new.

I have always been a supporter of you since the 2010's and totally understand your decision. Hope everything works out for you Sean.

Been watching you since 2010’s honestly love you man hope all goes well in your future
You and Shartimus Prime were the first reviewers I would watch.
Sorry you have to go through this Sean, but always remember that no matter what happens, you and your family are strong, brave and smart, and also your video reviews are always funny and entertaining.❤
We love you, Sean, and I really hope everything goes well for you, and I want the best for you. You rule, man, and I have so much resepcr for you.
Thank you so much! I appreciate that. ❤

You Optibotimus and Peaugh were my GOATs during the early bayverse era
I remembered watching your videos as a kid 😭😭. Now I’m 26. I will miss ur toy reviews man
The toy review game isn’t what it once was.
Yeah unfortunately. Sadly toy review Channels just aren’t as popular as they used to be and the people who used to watch these channels have al grown up and moved on to to stuff like overwatch and Fortnite. Which also UA-cam doesn’t even recommend videos from these channels anymore
I’m glad you’re not leaving. We will all make it through these hard times.
Always wishing you the best for you and your Family, I know you will make it through 👍👍👍
I still watch your old and new videos. And I still enjoy them.

You are fucking awesome

What happened to your 1/6 figures man? You had an awesome collection.

Do music reactions/review type stuff
