BUSTED!! She caught you red-handed for sure!! 😆😆😆😆😆 Awesome Gokaiger collection. And the only reason I'd want the Gokaiger mecha instead of the Power Rangers Super Megaforce versions is because of the Lion. Gokaiger's Gaolion is pretty much screen accurate for how it works. Meanwhile, the Lion Wildzord is...fine on its own and for Legendary Megazord w/Wildforce Power. It's the Samurai mode that kills it. Completely disgusting compared to Shinken Gokaioh. Of course, a large part of that is because of how Bandai America redesigned Gokaioh into the Legendary Megazord.

@@MMPRtoys Yeah, that was pretty cool that they did that. But I think that they also took away the neutered RPM style Turbo Falcon & Legendary Ultrazord Engine Cells for it (pretty sure the Turbo Falcon doesn't even have the slots for it anyway, unlike Engine Machalcon being a perfect nod to Go-Onger.) That doesn't bother me much since we never even got all the RPM Engine Cells anyway. But what they did to the Lion is just unforgivable.

There was another similar auction for $200 but some metal parts had rusted and there was some other damage. I almost bought it and thought maybe it could be a project for this channel I never tried to remove rust before. But when I saw this auction I decided to just get one that was in better condition. It got here in like three days. Seller e-mailed me right away to say they shipped it. I was very happy with them, so, hopefully I can send some people their way.

There's only one plastic cleaner, it's the one I keep showing. I gave two different links but it's the same stuff. That's it. The Kamen Rider stuff I own is the same Bandai Zord plastic and that cleaner works just the same on it. I've shown every way I clean things on the channel already, including with stickers and electronics. Have you seen those videos already? One was with Pyramidas, that's a much older one. A few years ago I showed Abaranger, Thunder Megazord... I'm sure one of the ways I've shown will work for whatever your issue is, unless it's white plastic that turned yellow. That's a different thing. But dirt/dust/etc, this is how you do it. You can carefully use water too, as I've shown in some other videos.

I can't see your specific figure, but cleaning it is probably a good idea either way. If you're removing stickers then you really don't need to worry about getting it wet. You can use liquid soap and water. Sometimes stickers can be a pain to get off. Hot water/hairdryer can help with that, and sometimes I use Goo Gone, especially if the plastic is still sticky after you remove the stickers. I'd be more concerned about the Goo Gone, make sure you wash with soap/water before applying stickers. The plastic cleaner is probably fine, as long as it's dry. I'm sure I've used plastic cleaner in the past and then applied stickers.

Take a look at the Zords at 0:00. How are you envisioning they fit inside each other? That's physically impossible unless they were drastically different sizes. Take red for example. How much smaller would green need to be, to fit inside red? Then take blue, how much smaller would that need to be to now fit inside green? And so on. If there was a toy like that, I never saw it. These most certainly cannot do that.

I can certainly relate to collecting with limited resources or space. Gokaiger’s a pretty epic season though, to say the least, and it’s cool that their Zords represent some older season that you might be missing as well. Do you care about boxes? If not, these eBay lots I’m showing are great. I probably don’t want to know what I originally spent on Gokaiger mecha when they were all new, but this lot (after shipping and tax), was still under $200. It was for Gokai-Oh, GoZyuJin, Machalcon, & MagiDragon. And I see lots like that fairly often. I have a lot more space now but I still don’t collect pre-Zyuranger. I had to draw the line somewhere (though I have been buying the model kits).

Finally a non Lightning Collection vid. I actually enjoyed the vlogs more than those. Welp since that's gone for free viewers I haven't watched anything in a while. Pls separate the cool sticker trick in a short or separate shorter vid. Such tips tend to get lost in longer vids without labelling or tags. Which in my opinion is the biggest issue with the channel. No optimum milking of content.
@MMPRtoys
Жыл бұрын
I'm going to reply to you, and any other like-minded people reading my reply, there's been a bit of this lately: Perhaps you didn’t mean it this way, but your comment can be perceived as rude because it contains several elements that may be considered offensive or negative. The statement "Finally a non Lightning Collection vid" suggests you have a preference for a specific type of content, which can be seen as dismissive or unappreciative of the efforts put into creating other types of content for our many other viewers. The LC videos are really over-the-top high-effort. Informative with detailed shots, animation/VFX, humor, comparisons, compatibility with older toys, carefully selected music, scene recreations and all sorts of other extras, while respecting the viewer’s time (by many many hours of editing on my end). Most of our viewers expect to see the latest toys, Lightning Collection is what’s out today. I do my best to make a well produced enjoyable video for those viewers, and even the people who don’t care as much about those toys, maybe they’ll at least enjoy the video anyway. The statement "Welp since that's gone for free viewers I haven't watched anything in a while" implies you only value content that is freely available, which is kinda disrespectful to us as creators who rely on the support of our audience to continue producing content. It’s one thing if people just didn’t know, but we have continuously expressed this to our viewers very directly with free and easy calls to action for the channel to continue. The request to "separate the cool sticker trick in a short or separate shorter vid.” is something I’ve shown many times over the years. We have stand alone videos as well as a playlist for videos of that nature. The video is properly tagged and labeled. And 7:50 “Fix Stickers on PR Boxes!” is the chapter name. You have to work with us a little. If viewers aren’t engaged enough to actually watch the video, or even just hover over it to see the chapters (all of which are again labeled in the video description which I call attention to again and again) then we need to just do something else entirely, b/c this isn’t sustainable either. Your comment comes across a bit as demanding and entitled, as it assumes that I have a duty to cater to the preferences of each individual viewer (on a channel viewed a billion times) without taking into consideration our own creative vision or time & financial constraints as two independent artist who are self-funded (and who continue to avoid doing sponsored videos like everyone else out of respect to our viewers' time). Having said that, each video we post was requested by viewers, and then I spend the extra time responding to hundreds of people each day in the comments (and private messages on various platforms, often answering the questions that the videos were made to answer). Did you actually ask for a sticker removal video? That’s not a request I have ever seen before. When I see a demand for something, I make a video. Not every topic needs to be a stand alone video. Going forward we can try doing things like that as shorts, but “remove stickers!” is not its own video on this channel. Perhaps you didn’t mean any of this the way Mia and I are reading it, but honestly the most recent time we quit the vlog channel was eye opening in a bad way. We tried that once before and there was such overwhelming demand to come back that we did so, and gave it another two years specifically in response to that demand and things only got worse, both for the vlogs, and this channel due to lack of posting, as I'm just one person. That was with about 8 years of calls to action for how to keep the vlog channel going. For years the calls to action were free and easy like “thumb up this video” “share this video” “turn on notifications” “Please comment.” Audience engagement is important on public channels. (To the people who did there, and do over here, thank you!) It isn’t free to run these channels (ESPECIALLY this one, for obvious reasons). We were very direct and vocal about needing more support with easy free actionable solutions, which also turned off a lot of people and made them leave. Ultimately we had to make a decision, again. The real issue with this channel is we were neglecting it in favor of the vlogs everyone said they loved so much, but largely didn’t show up for any time the thumb didn't feature a Power Ranger. Then we found ways to support us through thanks, kofi, memberships, Patreon, things like that, which every other creator has done forever. Our channel was over a decade old when we finally gave people a way to (optionally) support our content more directly. Personally, if there were a show, or KZitem channel I watched and enjoyed for more than a decade, and they were in danger of going away due to loss of funding, I’d be thrilled to tip them a few dollars. But Patreon is not a tip, it’s additional exclusive content that was never going to be public anyway. Patrons and members are the people who said “these channels are worth continuing” and they’re encouraged to make requests. That’s the place to post short stand alone things that general audiences aren’t interested in as a whole, such as sticker removal. But, for people engaged enough to actually watch the video, it’s right there, clearly labelled, for free. Our final vlog has 12,000 views on it. (Where were those people for the last two years?) If they showed up for the non-drama videos, we'd still be vlogging b/c the channel would have the support we know it's capable of getting (when we post drama, or Power Rangers). It was Bruno, Mia, and Jerry that people wouldn't click on. Well, that's no good, for a channel about Bruno, Mia, and Jerry. Lots of people on that last video said they were upset to see us go and wished us well. Had half of them become a patron or member for just a single month and then cancelled, the vlog channel could then be free and public for at least another two years. Seeing so many people say we’re not worth $3 - $5, one time, after 15+ years of free high-effort content, then well, that says something. We don't regret our decision. We gave this fandom a free window into our personal life which resulted in a lot of judgement, hate, drama, etc, and it was a free channel that people were largely not supporting. We're happy with our small but good community of people on Patreon and memberships. They can continue to enjoy the vlogs and more personalized videos. Our public audience always has the power to bring the channel back. It's still up, people can still go watch all of the videos. We have 30K subs, and most videos have 5K views, which means many of those people who miss the vlogs haven't even seen them all. There are nearly 800 videos. There's going back and watching old videos, there are ways to tip us, and there's growing our Patreon/memberships (which is currently where the new vlogs live). I'm really not interested in hearing how we can serve people who have no intention of being supportive in any way. We've certainly given as much as can be expected of us, now we need to see that our viewers actually want these channels to go forward. Most ways of supporting us are still free.
