1/6 Hot Toys - MMS - The Phantom Menace - Qui-Gon Jinn

[Hoody999]

If he classes his YouTube channel as a moneymaking concern he can probably claim the purchase price on tax.

Yep. Tax write off. But I'd say he'd also get a reduced purchase price from ToysWonderland for advertising them in every video. T as well as the YouTube revenue would equate to a free figure (or very close) no doubt.

I think he said he works in business or finance. So probably a 9-5 job. Knock out a video a night as they come in.

I mean it's the same procedure every time.

Why is Maul so small...?

It?s baby Maul.

Wow, Ray Park is tiny. It?s accurate but looks oddly out of place next to qui-gon.

Yeah he's moving so fast next to them you never really noticed at the time, but he's definitely pretty short. Although this is one of those times when I think the actor's actual height matters less than how the director tries to portray them on screen, so I would have been perfectly fine with HT making the Maul figure a bit taller.

The funniest part is when he's walking next to Rune Haako and Nute Gunray. He's tiny.

I place my Maul next to Dooku once. Big mistake

He does pay for them, just not sure if it's full pop.

His videos are standardized, right down to the script so I imagine that speeds up the process along with repetition. He probably makes decent coin off all his YT views although I have no idea how much, and from what I can tell he was doing all right well before this, given he was like...an automobile guy of some kind. Cars aren't cheap.

At any rate, he does a consistent and professional job, and his videos don't have any dead air or humm-ing and haw-ing. There are other reviewers that do this stream of consciousness thing where they kinda wing it and rattle on and it's excruciating.

As far as YT money, D-Amazing said I think he makes like $8-900 in his biggest months. Nice but not exactly paying the bills for as much time as these guys put into it.

I actually like how Maul looks with Vader and Dooku. There's a nice contrast between the three.

 

[davejames]

I've got my Maul next to Vader and Kylo right now, but he's in a jumping pose which helps to minimize the height difference a bit.

If anyone feels like looking up YouTube's payment structure and measuring that against Justin's number of videos x views x ads served you can probably figure out exactly what he makes, although I don't care enough to. I suspect it's higher than D-Amazing. He also has that channel with his girlfriend and car stuff, so maybe it all aggregates.

Standardized video with a practiced formula, maybe not a lot of editing involved, so although the volume is high, effort at this point may be less so.

Maul looks like a little boy. A little cosplaying incel.

Maybe I'm just naive,but I'm surprised people actually get paid to upload stuff to YouTube.
Wow.

Views and AdSense marketing. YT figure reviewers are not making much. At the top end a grand or two a month would be a winfall getting 10,000 views a day. They can do more damage with the tax shelter it creates if the reviewers are smart about it.

I have a YouTube channel 296 Subscribers!! Yeahhhh

I had a chance to see ray park at a comic store signing about 5 years ago, I'm 5'10" and he was shorter than me, maybe 5'8" or even 5'7".

 

[DarkChocobi]

Same as Mark Hamill's height.

There are people that are literally millionaires from Youtube.

It's nuts. PewDiePie and Dude Perfect make more money than most athletes and actors every year. On YouTube. 2008 me would never believe what it's become.

Just.wow.
Thanks Chris.
That's ****ing insane.
