Queen Statues =/= INART figures. From the way John talked about it on stream, he said that Viper made up his own team for the INART 1/6 department, which is separate from their main Queen statue stuff.
I saw most of it and Justin was actually pretty gentle. It was Jedha and the other guests that went after Danoby a lot harder, apparently over calling them frauds on an earlier live stream. I'm not too surprised it got taken down, since the whole thing just seems so petty and ridiculous on both sides.
They're not, as far as I'm aware, Viper is leading the 1/6 department which is made up of the team he vetted for the job, the figures will be mass produced, this will not be like a custom run but a regular mass produced figure, rumors are production has already started before the announcement so they can get a head start on things.
Is the lock down affecting them at all? I really don’t want them to rush this.
It's even more stupid than I imagined wow, this is why I rarely watch any of these live streams, most of the time it's just grown men speaking out their ass like they're an authority on the subject they discuss, they're just collectors like everyone else.
Most likely yes but things are slowly starting to open again, who knows for how long tho, sooner or later things could go into lockdown again, there's just no way of telling these days, regardless of what happens the figure will get delayed, they cannot produce the orders they got in under a year, even if production already began, unless they want to put out a hastly put together product and be shunned out of the industry by collectors.
So basically, Viper and his team have been locked in an undisclosed basement somewhere for the past year, rooting as many Joker heads as possible.
I really doubt they will actually root this one by one, I think these will be rooted en masse at the factories much like the Over Toys Joker Viper did, but then he and his team will step in and properly style and manage the hair.So basically, Viper and his team have been locked in an undisclosed basement somewhere for the past year, rooting as many Joker heads as possible.
I actually find a lot of them fun to watch, especially when they're discussing the latest figure announcements or releases. But this one definitely felt a bit nasty and out of character, so I'm glad they decided to remove it.
I watch them when something interesting happens, I watched the streams some of them did when Queen announced their Joker and John went live with them to answer some questions, the other streams I've seen it's just them talking about random stuff and hyping up things that could happen based on their sources or beliefs haha, I mean they do me no harm, I understand having that sort of podcast to listen to as a collector but I don't find it very informative, for me it's something you put playing in the background while you're working or building something.
I think the difference is video game reviewers usually get sent copies by the companies themselves and tell their audience that info, their opinions are usually biased of course because they don't want a company like Sony to stop sending them free games early so I never put much stock in those reviews, the same applies with reviews of action figures that are sent to reviewers for free, the difference here is that Justin isn't transparent about the dealings he has with TW and TW is not the actual companies producing the figures he recieves, add that to fact TW is currently doing extremely shady stuff and people start disliking the youtuber for constantly shilling the website like it has the best service of all retailers while they keep screwing over tons of costumers and getting into messes with the companies that actually make figures, but maybe I'm wrong and TW is really just fantastic and Justin is just extremely lucky to recieve the figure, which he paid for like everybody else, in a matter of days while tons of people have to wait months to recieve the same figure or maybe not get it at all.
I’ve honestly never understood why more figure companies don’t send free figures to a handful of YouTube reviewers. Seems like a big missed opportunity for free publicity. I remember Molecule 8 even got Clipper King to come out of retirement to review that atrocity, and from what I remember he gave it a pretty positive review as well.
Virtual Devil was sent Uma Thurman's The Bride figure by Star Ace after he trashed it to bits in his original review and then he proceeded to trash that copy they sent him as an apology lmao, most companies just don't want to take that risk.
Do you remember anything they actually said? Who else was on it? I’m just curious at this point.
