Not my Necro-Conda video. 

@smitty-81 I just can't with all these new amateur toytubers but the fig looks pretty cool.

@kraken Is a degree or certification required to make one a professional? Didn't they all start out this way?

@dynamicg you make a good point but even people just starting out can put a bit more effort into what they are doing. Just look at my channel I know what my limitations are and work within them.

Exactly. But @DynamicG is right too somewhat. I don't know man maybe I am getting more cranky and impatient in my middle age. I'm looking at it like this. Put the amateur shit on social media but if you start a channel try to look a little professional.

@smitty-81 Sure, there is a scale and some people are on different points of it. Dude's not going to get followed by me, but when I'm just looking for a first look at the figure I personally don't care that much about production. Pixel Dan et al will review this later with a turntable and nice lights and I'll eventually hold it myself.

I think it's funny to be tired of amateurs on a platform whose existence continues due to the constant arrival of new amateurs. I'm also "new" to the collecting world, so to me most of these folks are the same. I also work in academia and teach freshman, so I'm not too bothered by that stuff maybe 🙂

@dynamicg yeah this guy put minimal effort into this video. When I did reviews I at the very least tried to make the lighting decent. I might do another video soon. I think I can get things set up a bit better than before. 

@smitty-81 No disagreement on the criticism of the production at all. I would fully agree that's it's barebones at best and I'm also someone annoyed by the state of people's breathing \ nails \ etc. I  just have a very low bar for said content, I expect more from Dan, or The Toy Habits crew. Hell, when my stuff went online in 2020 I bought a mic setup and learned how to clean up my lecture audio myself with audacity. So the effort will stratify.

What I've been taking from this and all the random transformers reviewers that pop-up is how loose distribution channels are right now and how the inconsistent distribution allows someone who just got lucky to start a channel and get lots of attention just because they got something early.  Stuff seem to fall off of trucks and onto youtube faster than ever. Sometimes a person who I like gets it (Mr. Home Arcade and Extendar) and others it's this dude.

These folks are also an interesting counterpoint to the claim that may of the youtubers are too cozy with the industry. Why yes, Pixel Dan got a case of figs from Mattel, but ToyBoyGoneWild or whatever got it from his boy Bryan, so it's a wildcard!

You got that right gettin it early is big. Pixel Dan was the man for years bruh. Hes nice and makes good videos and had no competition but once mattel stopped giving free figures to him early and some other channels started doin it Dan looked less god mode. its probably why hes doing other videos lately. What makes Dan god mode is he is the chris columbus of toy reviews at least for motu. now if I catch other reviews like man childs or even AJs reviews before I see Dan's reviews pop up I sometimes skip Dans and I used to never skip his vids at all. I cant be the only one. he must be seeing a slump in views for his reviews and that wouldnt of happened without the fd up toy distribution

Dear God his nails are disgusting.

How good does that Night Stalker look!

@lasastard It looks very very good!

i hope it’s not just the lighting in the photographs 😅 

It looks promising.

Who wants a Cham-Or?? I do!!

@durendal no thanks. I'm ready to move onto the Evil Horde and that... thing isn't even close to being a snake.

Don't get me wrong, there's probably at least a hundred characters I'd rather have first too - I'm just saying that if the line goes on for another...10 years, I'll gladly welcome a Cham-Or 🤣 

@durendal that's fair. I just think he looks out of place with the Snakemen.

Just got emails that CC Webstor and Evil Lyn will be hitting loot. Po’s are dwindling down, i hope sdcc they announce new product.

@banthafett I got the email too, but I only ordered Evil-Lyn.

@banthafett me as well. All that’s left for PO is Reptilax and a few masterverse

have 2 reptilax and 2 necro guy.

Ill still get origins stuff, but im so sick of snakemen crap, and we havent even got word when the lair is gonna hit so that means even more snake crap when they do announce it. Im just in the feeling of, if they are not gonna finish the vintage (all figures and vehicles) just end it now.

Just seeing the ugly turtle crap on shelves and nothing origins is kind of sad.

@andy_wan_kenobi no images yet, I wonder if they're hiding something...
