[00:04:48] Speaker 6: I'm pretty sure that's kind of how you felt this past weekend a little bit.
[00:04:53] Speaker 4: after Wonderfest. After Wonderfest. After Wonderfest and then right into Titans, which is not going to be repeated. I think there's going to be a slight more delay.
[00:05:01] Speaker 7: So apparently this happened Friday night. I was talking to Chris chaotic today and he said that I was talking to him and Sam from Skeletron and like mid sentence. I just stopped, turned and walked away.

I mean, like the 20 pic deals on Instagram and just fucking load them up. I don't know where you guys were at with that with pics.
[00:07:05] Speaker 6: I'll tell you what. And my wife can attest to this. I am so bad at taking pictures. You know, I'm so much that I live in the moment that I always forget to whip on my phone and take pictures of me with people. So my goal for Titans 2027. If you see me walking around, be like, still take a picture. You know, just just annoy me about it, you know, so I can do it. Oh, yeah. Or picture with all these beautiful people. Yeah, that's for sure. I did.
[00:07:32] Speaker 4: I had people, Nikki, they were like, is it OK? Can I ask Nikki to take a picture? I'm like, yeah, if I can go take a picture. Go for it.
[00:07:38] Speaker 7: You should have leaned into that and been like, I don't know. What happened last time? I don't know.
[00:07:44] Speaker 4: I did that with Holly. I'm like, no, don't. That's fair.
[00:07:48] Speaker 7: That's completely fair.
[00:07:49] Speaker 4: Holly only yelled at me like, I don't know, a handful of times.
[00:07:54] Speaker 7: I like to think that the more she yells at you, the more she loves you. Oh, son of a bitch. So just take that's that's what I tell myself. Is she watching?
[00:08:06] Speaker 4: Yeah. She's watching right now. She's always watching. Find my figures, ladies, Erica and Jasmine. Shout out. Shout out. Thank you.
[00:08:18] Speaker 7: Oh, yeah. The ladies are great.
[00:08:20] Speaker 4: Nicest ladies ever.
[00:08:21] Speaker 7: They kept the Pepsis and the waters coming. So that was great.
[00:08:25] Speaker 4: Follow these. Follow these ladies on Instagram. Pretty please with sugar on top. Yes. Follow them for all the latest 112th action figure news. Fanboy tone is in here. He likes stuffs. We got to see fanboy tone, which probably has one of the best custom shirts ever. Probably still biased.
[00:08:45] Speaker 7: No, that was great.
[00:08:49] Speaker 6: What a great surprise for that. Like I did not expect.
[00:08:51] Speaker 7: He showed me and I was like, still is going to love you forever.
[00:08:54] Speaker 6: Like you're not going to get rid of him after that. We try to recreate it on the on the show floor. So.
[00:09:00] Speaker 3: That was a great pick.
[00:09:02] Speaker 6: Yeah.
[00:09:03] Speaker 4: Zach, that's a good question. What's going on for sale on the website? When's the sale start? Stay tuned. Stay tuned to that because we have some things that we want to show off. You want to go ahead and get into a certain lore video and pop that open now? Let's pop it open.
[00:09:20] Speaker 6: Yeah. Let's do it.
[00:09:22] Speaker ?: Let's do it.
[00:09:35] Speaker 1: He arrived alone through the burning portal, carrying the armor, weapons, and convictions of his lost kingdom. Around him lay ruin, creatures beyond reason, and people who survived only by abandoning yesterday in favor of tomorrow. With no banners or titles left to cling to, he held fast to something deeper. The belief that strength exists to protect, craft exists to serve, and civilization survives only because someone chooses to carry it forward. For years he wandered, repairing abandoned bridges, clearing forgotten roads, restoring wells, and raising walls no one had asked him to build. People followed him, not because he sought acolytes, but because every place he left was stronger than when he found it. He was not their warlord, nor their conqueror. He was a craftsman who became their teacher. When they asked to become knights, he refused them steal. He taught them, instead, how to sharpen neglected tools, set broken stones, mend leather, and care for armor that did not yet belong to them. Every repair was an act of defiance against decay. And that is the truth upon which the order stands. Nothing worthy endures through strength alone. It endures when each generation receives it with gratitude, cares for it with discipline, and carries it forward stronger than it was received. This is Circassian.
[00:11:23] Speaker ?: It endures.
[00:11:31] Speaker 6: Beautiful. Man. Beautiful. That chills.
[00:11:35] Speaker 4: That was great. Also, in the comments after this is done on the live stream, please leave a comment about what you thought about these lore videos, because I'm loving them.
[00:11:44] Speaker 6: Yes. Yeah.
[00:11:46] Speaker 4: Truly are great. But I mean, Circassian, I mean, he's nice and everything. But let me.
[00:11:51] Speaker 6: Still, can you make me full screen? Oh, yes, I can.
[00:11:55] Speaker 4: I mean, this is really the new hotness over here. Is Varkul. Really. Varkul. Varkul. Varkul of the bone. I've been playing around with this. I did a live review. Varkul. And this guy is GWAR all day long. Mm-hmm. And yes, I can stand him in this pose, too. I got them all nice. Yes.
[00:12:22] Speaker ?: Raging.
[00:12:23] Speaker 4: But yeah, this one right here is awesome. And I believe, possibly, you can get this now. Is that correct?
[00:12:36] Speaker 3: That is correct, sir. That is correct.
[00:12:41] Speaker 6: Presale is live. Bam. Yep. While supplies last. All right, guys.
[00:12:48] Speaker 5: So, Varkul presale is live, as are the nights back up for presale. Whatever comes first, November 6th or sellout on these. This is not, again, this is not a pre-order. This is a presale, so it can sell out. So, whatever happens first, November 6th or sellout, that is the end of the item being online. And then they will end up at, they'll also be offered to retailers at a later date.
[00:13:23] Speaker 7: So, just like Varkul, Circassian is also limited and there's only about 200 left. So. Of Circassian, Rob?
[00:13:34] Speaker 5: Yes.
[00:13:35] Speaker 7: There's only 200 left of Circassian. Yeah.
[00:13:38] Speaker 5: So, if you are wanting him, best to get him now. Go, go, go get him.
[00:13:45] Speaker 4: And that's another thing that we want to try to drive on these live streams too. Guys, thank you for showing up live because you're the first ones that get a shot at those supplies. That's right. So, we appreciate everyone hanging out. And that's why we're going to try to, we try to work that in as much as we can during the lives.
[00:14:04] Speaker 5: Yeah. So, we've been telling a lot of people asking, you know, when, when does something go available for sale, et cetera. I always say sign up for email updates on the website. So, you're, you're in the loop and it's usually in this order. So, live stream. If we, if it's something that we're announcing on a live stream, followed by email, followed by social media posts. So, many ways to keep in touch with what's going on.
[00:14:33] Speaker 6: And we got a bunch of sandwiches by the way. There's going to be questions actually. Oh, I think I see one there. I don't believe that these can be combined. So, like if you've already placed a presale order for the night and you want to get this, it's going to be a separate shipment on that.
[00:14:52] Speaker 4: So, right now the, the site is up right now. Cause you rent, you can talk about that a little bit. Ren, anytime that we're going to do like a sale or a drop release, like we're doing with like, sir, Cassie or bar cool. You take the site down for a couple hours before the show. Yeah.
[00:15:12] Speaker 3: I mean, I, I, I give myself some leeway to, to do a little bit of testing behind the scenes, just to make sure that everything goes by, goes smoothly when I, when I bring it back up. I mean, I can always do it a lot, you know, while it's up and running, but I don't want to mess something up, which I've been known to do. Uh, so better safe than sorry. And, um, it's one of those things where I, I personally think it's fun. It's fun to, to see the folks guessing what's, uh, what's coming through the portal.
[00:15:46] Speaker 4: What's coming through the portal. Exactly. And articulate an engine here. Titan was such a good time. Thank you to everyone who came out. Kane was on his best behavior. I think that's fair. I think that's fair to say my best. It was pretty good behavior. I'll say that, uh, Rob doesn't know this, but as we did a set up a Saturday morning before the show, Poblito was out in the hall and he had shots ready to go. And so as it was 7:30 by the way in the morning, cause we're going to get there early. Like it was like eight was official set up time and it was 7:30. And I saw Rob turn the corner. I looked at Poblito and I was like, if I don't do this now, it's never going to happen. So this man came up with a shot of angels envy before I went and did set up Saturday. Yeah.
[00:16:35] Speaker 7: I was not aware of this, that you guys were drinking. Um, you probably should not admit it to that on camera with, just to be honest. Let's see it now. Next year. We're having breathalyzer tests before we go to the booth.
[00:16:52] Speaker 4: Before you enter, before you enter the booth. I get the door.
[00:16:55] Speaker 7: Yeah.
[00:16:56] Speaker 4: Sobriety tests. Great. That angels envy, uh, also was rough on this old man. I can tell you that. And I keep trying to keep up with the chat. Cause yes, the chat is completely going nuts. Yeah.
[00:17:14] Speaker 7: We missed a lot of questions. Oh yeah.
[00:17:17] Speaker 4: I'm tagging, I'm tagging some, but what I think is on these questions, is there any questions about what we've got going on right now? Yeah. Ninja saying it right here. Yeah. This, this chat is live. And I still, did you see any questions about Varkul or Cassian that I've, as I'm scrolling down, trying to meet you in the middle?
[00:17:36] Speaker 6: I did see one asking if Varkul will be at unity. It's a good question.
[00:17:42] Speaker 7: Maybe I don't know yet. Um, that's, that's a game time decision. It's also based on what the factory ships to us. We originally had planned to have nights in Varkul at unity, but we kind of changed the game plan and putting it up for pre-sale. Cause we don't want to overlook people. We're trying to space it out. Um, so I don't know. That's something a, they have to get here and B we have to make that decision. So I'm not, I'm not truly willing to commit to that just yet.
[00:18:16] Speaker ?: Yeah.
[00:18:16] Speaker 7: Stay tuned.
[00:18:17] Speaker 5: Well, what will, what will we have at toy unity, Rob? When, when will we be revealing those?
[00:18:24] Speaker 7: Uh, in two weeks we'll be revealing the drop and the, uh, the exclusive for the show. Um, I'm really excited about those. I can tell you that. I can tell you that we will have, um, some depth dealers, some Elric's, some red Dre Varthy and Komodos at unity. Okay.
[00:18:44] Speaker 4: So, um, we're going to, we're going to keep on blasting that out is what we're going to do. Oh, here we go.
[00:18:53] Speaker 6: We got one here. It says, are you going to make a lore video above Varkul? I think this circles back to what the Kanan said, uh, towards the beginning. Let us know in the comments, what do you think about those lore videos?
[00:19:05] Speaker 4: And we might get one going right there from, from Moonshadow by God. Yeah. Love the lore videos from Stanley's toys channel. He could Gary, son of a gun, Gary. He's Varkul. Gary, uh, AKA Grey Dragon definitely had, had the dad jokes going on, uh, during a lot of the, uh, our savage encounters is what I'll say. And yeah, definitely hit those likes. Please, please drive that algorithm up here. Uh, dun, dun, dun, dun. Yeah. There's, there's some weird term here, Rob, that Tyler's using. I'm going to ask now in case I can't later, since I'm at the Edmonton Oilers game. Is the neck for the necromancer the same as the head? I don't know what he's talking about.
[00:20:02] Speaker 5: I think he means the skin, the skin tone, but I don't know. Um, I don't know what figure he's referring to.
[00:20:10] Speaker ?: Yeah. Interesting.
[00:20:10] Speaker 4: I don't know, Tyler. That's a good, that's a, that's something good there. Good question. And honestly, what I think still, I think we should get into the creator crown or what?
[00:20:20] Speaker 6: The creator crown awards. We can do it. But I think this is a nice question from Jay. And then I think we can hop right into it. Since we're kind of on topic. Can you speak as inspiration to Varkool's look?
[00:20:34] Speaker 7: This is a rarity. this is one of the years that I actually designed.
[00:20:40] Speaker 6: Oh, that's why I had to bring it up. I had to bring it up.
[00:20:44] Speaker 7: Um, Kevin did a beautiful job and added his own touches, bringing this to, to life. And, um, but I've always, you know, I wanted to skull face guy. Obviously I'm partial to the skulls. Um, what was really interesting is originally Kevin sculpted that chain mail on the side and had a chain mail one cloth. And I was like, yeah, but we'll be flexible enough. We'll enter, you know, articulation. And we were working on the death dealer at that point. Um, and we're like, I talked to Dave. I was like, have, have we ever tried to like attach chain mail to plastic on a figure before? You know, normally it's like encased or sewn to fabric. It's over. It's never really attached to the plastic.
[00:21:30] Speaker ?: He's like, no.
[00:21:30] Speaker 7: He's like, no. So we went through some experimentation and, uh, felt really comfortable moving forward with this. This sculpt has been around. I think, wasn't this in the, the back of the second graphic novel as well. I want to say it's about two or three years old. Um, so this was a long time coming. And, uh, I'm really happy with them. Uh, I love the Lord that Gordon and you guys came up with. I thought it fit really nicely. And I I'm excited for him. I he's, he's rock and roll. And you guys know how much I love rock and roll figures. So, um, Rob, how old is that?
[00:22:03] Speaker 6: Uh, that other head that he comes with.
[00:22:06] Speaker 7: Oh my God.
[00:22:07] Speaker 6: The, the, the original Jaeger head.
[00:22:08] Speaker 7: So that that's someone asked if it was a skull and technically could just be a mask with a backwards pole kind of melded together. So there could be a human under there. It could be a skeleton head. It could be whatever you want it to be. Right. And that was actually, um, on the table the very first time at toy. Uh, back in, was that 2023 or 2022? Can't remember where we announced savage crucible. That was actually one of the heads that Kevin originally sculpted with the Jaeger set. And I felt like it just didn't fit.
[00:22:41] Speaker 4: Um, and I agree with that choice. Right.
[00:22:44] Speaker 7: Yeah. And Kevin's defense, like he was trying to make a head that gave you a different character. And truly that was a completely different character than the Jaeger head. So, um, that's where that came from. I did see another really interesting question about shipping to the UK. Uh, we did sign up a UK retailer recently, and they're supposed to be a new UK, another UK retailer. So we will have two retailers in the UK, hopefully, um, relatively soon. So that allows us to ship directly from China to the UK, which helps a decent amount on certain tariffs. So that, that will certainly be able, um, I hope to lower the cost for everybody in the UK. But I can't say for sure when those retailers are going to put up stuff. Lots of times retailers will entertain the idea, but they may not like that they have to pay for the figures before we will really ship them. Um, and so I don't think that'll be an issue with these two retailers, but you never know.
[00:23:45] Speaker 5: Nice. And, uh, Slane also asked if Varkul's horns were removable and swappable with other parts of the line. And the answer is yes.
[00:23:53] Speaker 6: Rand, let me bring you up.
[00:23:55] Speaker 3: Yes, sir. That's the first thing I was kind of wondering myself. So I took the Varkul horns and put it on the Dravarthy, uh, helmet. And I gotta say, I think I'm gonna have to get more Varkul's because now I don't really have a Varkul figure on my shelf because he's kind of melded with this knight.
[00:24:19] Speaker 5: That looks awesome. And I, uh, Zaken and I saw Jose's comment pop up real quick, um, about the knights and Varkul being at Unity. Um, Rob said he doesn't know yet. We're getting different, um, shipments at different times right now. It's not all coming to us at once. And so we just don't know yet. We'll announce when we know closer to the date of toy unity.
[00:24:46] Speaker 4: Um, Oh, that's, that's a good one from a legend has entered the chat. War chest.
[00:24:52] Speaker ?: Scott over here.
[00:24:52] Speaker 4: I'm going to need that head in gold and black.
[00:24:59] Speaker 7: We're too busy putting out new stuff to reap repaints.
[00:25:04] Speaker 4: Yeah. There's that. And I like the, the kit bashing as we're kind of, you know, talking here. Like we're all kind of also doing that. Like, you know, this is me just throwing that onto, you know, the Dravarthy sentinel. Yes. That I had off to the side. So it's the kit bashing. And then what I've seen, like, I'm not on Facebook a lot guys. So I apologize. But when I do, it's always all these pictures of here's what I did. Here's kit bashing. Like again, Ren putting those horns on. I want to say herb also did it. If he didn't, I apologize. Let me see.
[00:25:40] Speaker 6: Oh, here we go. You guys back too. Yeah. You got that.
[00:25:45] Speaker 5: That's how I have mine set up. Yes.
[00:25:49] Speaker 4: It's a great weapons pack. I love it. That is awesome.
[00:25:54] Speaker 3: I think we all have it set up. I also put mine on the Dravarthy.
[00:26:00] Speaker 7: Yeah. One of us doesn't. That's just, you know. Junk. What's our grapes here guys? For all of you in the audience that don't have these figures and want them. Guess what? I don't have them either. I let all the fans buy what we could. And then all the team got to take home the rest. And I got home and realized that I didn't have a Varkool or a Circassian.
[00:26:28] Speaker 6: Oh, no. Rob, there's about 200 Circassians left for a freeze.
[00:26:42] Speaker 4: And I saw this. We'll get that question out of the way right now. Rolekeeper Dan's asking, is Death Ealer still circling the Pacific?
[00:26:51] Speaker 7: He's not. He is anchored off the coast of Houston.
[00:26:57] Speaker ?: Oh, really?
[00:26:58] Speaker 4: Okay. Is he made that far? Yeah. Like it was Africa, I want to say, was my last update on that. Shout out to Holly who took a course in maritime.
[00:27:09] Speaker 7: I think we really are going to do that and bring Holly on and talk about that shipment. It was something. That Death Ealer has seen more of the world than I ever will, and I thought I'd seen a lot. Yeah.
[00:27:25] Speaker 4: Again, chat, what Holly did is she took a course in maritime tracking. This isn't like we're not making that term up. She legitimately took a course on this. And then we've got a printout that we saw of the path that this guy has taken this whole ship and it is nuts. The slow boat from China does not really, it doesn't, it, it, it pales. It doesn't really define what has happened on this journey.
[00:27:57] Speaker 6: Yeah. To say the least. Yeah. Got another question here about POK joints. I want to say, I think that's like a standard going forward, no?
[00:28:08] Speaker 7: It is. It is a standard going forward. And I think someone asked about, will we ever get a restock of the neck pegs? And the answer is yes. We have a new set of neck pegs coming that are POK. I don't know why they haven't sent that to me. They can just put that in FedEx and send it to me. So I need to, I need to follow up on that. Actually. Let me write that on my notes.
[00:28:34] Speaker 6: Then another good question right here. Rob, we're getting a helmet pack for the nights.
[00:28:47] Speaker 8: There are so many cool night heads.
[00:28:52] Speaker ?: You guys.
[00:28:56] Speaker 4: That's another good question there from Alex asking, you know, if the night in Barcool do make the toy Unity Expo, will there be limits? I kind of assume so, Rob.
[00:29:07] Speaker 7: Yeah. We always, we like to do limits. We like to do the reservation system. I don't know if we'll do the reservation system for the nights or not, because there'll be so many other items. Um, but we also try to, if we have anything extra or people don't show up for whatever reason. Um, just cause like, let's just, you know, we'll get into later with Titans, but there was actually a hurricane that went landfall and there were serious storms throughout the weekend in Nashville because of it. And so a lot of people didn't make it, especially people from the south who couldn't drive up or didn't want to drive up through.
[00:29:41] Speaker ?: Yes.
[00:29:41] Speaker 8: Yep.
[00:29:42] Speaker 7: And, um, so we'll do it just like we did at Titans and other shows. The last day we'll just kind of announce the time and whatever remaining stock we'll put up at that point. And so you can go back and get something extra for your friends, that kind of stuff. If there's, if there's enough stock remaining.
[00:30:02] Speaker 4: The reservation deal. I'll tell you this. I know somebody in the chat, uh, reached out because they, they made to, they made it to the show and then did not pick up the reservation figure. Where are they in that kind of world that they forgot to pick it up?
[00:30:21] Speaker 7: With a refund and you just had to go place an order on the website.
[00:30:26] Speaker 4: Do it, do it that way. Go to customer service.
[00:30:28] Speaker 7: Like, you know, the LRX didn't show up. We they they're like, that means the ones that we have extra from China and they were on the boat with death dealer. And obviously that's not here yet. And the original, um, date that we got for being at our warehouse was actually September 24th. And so when they didn't show up, we, that's why we put them up for reservation. And we thought they were going to be here. That's a whole nother story that we're going to do for the, the, that, that podcast when we do it. But essentially LRX was on us because we put it up for reservation and it didn't get to the show. So we feel obligated to ship those out, but if you didn't come to the show, that's on you. Um, so we'll, you know, gladly refund the order. If you email us, we don't want to take your money for nothing, but we, we gave those out to everybody at the show. So they're, they don't exist for me to send you.
[00:31:24] Speaker 6: Yeah. They don't exist for him to even mess around with. Right.
[00:31:29] Speaker 7: Like I would be playing with your sarcastic. Trust me.
[00:31:33] Speaker 4: Well, Dan, I didn't want, I didn't want to name drop you, Dan, but thank you, Dan. Dan sat literally across from me and still. And it was stream sniping us and wouldn't get on camera as we live stream. So shout out the fucking roll keeper. Yeah.
[00:31:47] Speaker 6: He kept up the morale.
[00:31:48] Speaker 4: That was great. Uh, Poblito has got, as we get closer to the new year, will the timeline be updated for 2027?
[00:31:55] Speaker 7: Yes, very much. So we were actually just having a conversation before we jumped on the show. We've talked about the updates that need to happen, but we're just going to publish that after toy unity. Um, believe it or not, we were all overwhelmed with too much to do. And, um, I'm still exhausted. Yeah.
[00:32:15] Speaker 3: I'm on Bailey's right now.
[00:32:17] Speaker 4: I'm Bailey's. Ren is drinking. I'm having water. I'm at the end, trail end of day three of a water and mineral only fast. Yay.
[00:32:26] Speaker 7: I wanted to get an IV and they thought it was crazy that I wanted caffeine in it. I was like, can you do a thing, please? Oh man.
[00:32:34] Speaker 4: I can break coffee. Won't break my fast. I was really thinking about having some freaking coffee. I'll tell you that right now.
[00:32:40] Speaker 6: Uh, Rob, we need some of those stem packs that the, uh, space Marines use in Starcraft. You're just trying to give me PTSD from wonderfest.
[00:32:48] Speaker 7: I don't know what you're doing.
[00:32:50] Speaker 4: Amber boards. Oh, any chance you will revisit toe hinges after the prior issues you had with them.
[00:32:56] Speaker 7: We didn't have any issues with toe hinges. That's a misconception. Yeah. The feet on wave one. The issue was actually a bulge from inserting the ankle peg that created a bulge at the bottom of the foot, which made it uneven creating like a rocker chair effect. Yeah.
[00:33:13] Speaker 4: Okay.
[00:33:14] Speaker 7: Um, some people think that toe joints are supposed to be tight somehow. I don't know how you would accomplish that. Um, maybe if you've got like a really ugly pin that got hammered in from the side or something with a cap, you could tighten it up that way, but that would really ruin the aesthetic. So, but the short answer to your question is yes. Um, wave three comes with hinged and unhinged feet. And some figures will certainly come with hinge feet in the future.
[00:33:42] Speaker 4: Uh, Jesse, we don't know what you're talking about that. We're going to have to disavow any comments from here on out. Okay. A shout out to Jesse, uh, which I've got a picture of him. If we get to it, by the way, when we were dealing with the, the raffle.
[00:33:59] Speaker 6: Yes. Raffle. Raffle. So we can bring this up and talk about it real quick because we had said, uh, ways back a little bit about, uh, raffling off the primals and, you know, with everything kind of going on at Titans, you know, we couldn't really quite fit it in there. So we figured, you know, we can definitely do this on a live show. So, um, Ren, good old Ren has collected all the names. He has set them all on a wheel and, uh, we're going to be raffling these off. Now we're going to do this three different times for each primal that we have here. And here's one of them. Here's Mr. Blue right here.
[00:34:42] Speaker 5: And these are factory samples, right?
[00:34:45] Speaker 6: These are the factory samples. Yes.
[00:34:48] Speaker 7: They're not perfect. They're not production. They are mold injected. They're painted, but they're not perfect. So like maybe the ankles, there might be some flashing or something. This is just for approving the paint scheme. Yes.
[00:35:02] Speaker 3: And don't worry if they're a little bit sweaty and things. I got to play with them. I may have left a little bit. Don't worry. Don't worry. It's all good.
[00:35:11] Speaker 6: Uh, but again, this is a nice little treat. Oh, let me get this off the screen. It's a nice little treat from Rob, you know, early access to these guys. You can kind of get, uh, you know, those customizing ideas, uh, going with those.
[00:35:24] Speaker 7: So, um, really committed to making the blue one yet. Yeah. You guys keep just assume that's a done deal.
[00:35:31] Speaker 3: Well, then how many people are nicer treat?
[00:35:34] Speaker 4: It is. It's done. I thought that was, yeah. Confirmed. All right.
[00:35:41] Speaker 3: I'm going to go ahead and choose the, uh, first name, the first. All right.
[00:35:45] Speaker 6: So, uh, for the first one, which one are we, are we doing? I'll write these down. Which, uh, what color scheme are we going with?
[00:35:51] Speaker 7: Well, wait, wait, what if it was just random? Like we don't. Oh, okay.
[00:35:55] Speaker 6: They just get it.
[00:35:56] Speaker 7: And it's a surprise. They don't know which one they're getting. I like it. I like that. Actually. I like that too.
[00:36:03] Speaker 3: I like it. All right. Let's go.
[00:36:06] Speaker ?: Ooh.
[00:36:07] Speaker 4: Sound effect too. Sweet.
[00:36:09] Speaker 3: I'm all about it. Techno.
[00:36:11] Speaker 4: All about it.
[00:36:12] Speaker 3: Uh, Derek Felix.

[00:36:47] Speaker 3: So actually I, I, someone said, uh, the eye of Soren. I liked that. Oh my God. Oh, I saw that. I love that. special shirt incoming. Yes.
[00:36:56] Speaker 5: Oh my God. That's great.
[00:36:58] Speaker 4: I'm not. Oh my God. Let me go for that second name.
[00:37:01] Speaker ?: Second primal.
[00:37:02] Speaker 6: Do we know which primal we're doing on each one of these or.
[00:37:05] Speaker 3: It's going to be random. It's a surprise. It's random. It's a surprise.
[00:37:09] Speaker 4: Bing. I can't believe that. Leslie Slade. All right. There you go. Awesome.
[00:37:15] Speaker 3: The Slades are, uh, rife with luck.
[00:37:18] Speaker ?: Uh, yeah. That's awesome.
[00:37:20] Speaker 6: The Slades are, uh, rife with luck.
[00:37:22] Speaker 4: Uh, yeah. That's awesome. That's awesome. The Slades are, uh, rife with luck. Uh, Oh, no.
[00:37:29] Speaker 7: I slayed one that a Mezco Conan off my channel fight in that household over that. Leslie, you hold out girl. You hear me? All right.
[00:37:42] Speaker 3: Let's go for that third and final name. Let's do it. And drum roll. Sean Vaughn. Sean Vaughn.
[00:37:57] Speaker 7: Nice. Oh, dude. Well, I'm going to say it's rigged now. It's gotta be. I know. What's going on? How much were you paid, Renato? Sean Vaughn.
[00:38:07] Speaker 4: He's going to come out during our Creator Crown Awards, I believe. He bought at the wheel.
[00:38:13] Speaker 6: Dude, I really hope that he tuned in and he didn't tune into that other one he was saying. Yeah, Terrence, this is a raffle for all the VIP winners.
[00:38:22] Speaker 7: He did. He's not getting one. Wow. No. Done.
[00:38:27] Speaker ?: All right.
[00:38:28] Speaker 3: I'll send you your money back, Sean. Um, all right.
[00:38:32] Speaker 6: Awesome. Awesome. Thank you guys. Great. Congratulations to the winners.
[00:38:37] Speaker 5: Sweet.
[00:38:38] Speaker 6: And, uh, yeah, we'll be reaching out to everybody.
[00:38:40] Speaker 5: So we're, we're finishing, uh, photography on those guys. And once that is complete, we will send them your way.
[00:38:47] Speaker 4: Yeah. Guys, if there was any confusion. Yeah. It was for the VIPs for Titans toy. So. Automatically enter for anybody.
[00:38:55] Speaker 6: They got the VIP. So.
[00:38:57] Speaker ?: Boom.
[00:38:58] Speaker 4: And then by the way, everyone's calling out for the Blue Berrians. Matt's calling out for the blue one, Rob. So I think it's a done deal. I think you have to make it.
[00:39:07] Speaker 7: Well, I, I, I'm a child of the eighties. You can't peer pressure me. You can't, it doesn't work. Oh, I should say that, uh, international retailers, if you don't already know, international retailers have the Knights and Varkool, uh, uh, available up for pre-sale right now. And domestic retailers will have those available after we have our pre-sale.
[00:39:36] Speaker ?: Nice.
[00:39:37] Speaker 7: Which is pretty normal. That's how we do it.
[00:39:40] Speaker 5: And keep in mind too, we send the retailers the information at the same time, but retailers vary in how quickly they can turn that around and get it up on their website. So I saw, for example, that e-collectibles got theirs up right away yesterday. I saw that. It might take other retailers a longer time to, to get that going.
[00:39:59] Speaker 6: I love the mad cry out for Sean. That happened in the chat, dude.
[00:40:03] Speaker 4: Like, uh, Zach Williams also asked, uh, is Dravarthy Sentinel coming to an online sale soon? Yes.
[00:40:12] Speaker 5: The red, uh, so on, on the ship with death dealer, which we just talked about is, uh, the blind box Komodos, red Dravarthy and our very last, very small shipment of Elric's, which we will fulfill for the Titans toe expo for folks. And then bringing the last bit to toy unity.
[00:40:36] Speaker 7: Um, that shipment also has like 400 Bryn yards on it too.
[00:40:40] Speaker 5: Oh, okay.
[00:40:41] Speaker 4: Don't, don't sleep on Bryn yard, by the way, folks, that is a fantastic figure. If you don't have one of those already, uh, then, uh, Matthew over here, how's the horse coming? He's coming. Would that answer that question wrong?
[00:40:57] Speaker 8: Yeah. Yes.
[00:41:01] Speaker 4: Lots of great questions. We're doing our best to keep up with that. I did like this one here from, uh, Fabian. Can you guys please make tunics for the nights? I don't know how to sew them like still the seam Smith.
[00:41:14] Speaker 7: People really liked the tunics. I've noticed a lot. There's several different people that, you know, the Strups, um, had some stuff ready to go at the show. Yep. There's, um, several others. I'm sorry. I don't get to name drop them, but I just don't remember their names that I saw had some, um, certainly something to consider for the future. But at this point, I think the paint on that figure is gorgeous. Yes. And, um, so, you know, what's funny about that?
[00:41:42] Speaker 6: After I put on that, uh, the soft goods on him, I was like, oh, wait, I want to, I want the armor back. It was a bit of pain. You just gotta get more.
[00:41:53] Speaker 8: Yeah, dude.
[00:41:54] Speaker 4: It looks, it looks amazing. That's, that's what the, you know, the honor guard is for. And that squad, right. You gotta have your Sir Cassian. Then you gotta have four other nights. Like, uh, in fact, I've got this one here. Already with, uh, the Lloyd Lloyd Christmas head. Yeah.
[00:42:12] Speaker 6: That, that head is great. Yeah. Yeah. And it's so fit. And, you know, I really love his lore too, because it's so different from what we've kind of had so far in savage crucible. Um, show off that shield. It's just, yeah, all around just such a great and such fun figure. Yeah.
[00:42:29] Speaker 4: Ton, a ton of fun and kit bashing. And then I like, I like the units. There was a lot of that, uh, being put on units or tunics tunics. I love units.
[00:42:39] Speaker 3: They're great.
[00:42:40] Speaker 4: Different conversation. Three day fast. Water and minerals.
[00:42:43] Speaker ?: Damn it. Come on.
[00:42:45] Speaker 4: Good help. It's hard to come by. Keep that conversation in our hotel room, man.
[00:42:48] Speaker 9: Clipped. Clipped. I know. I know guys. I know.
[00:42:53] Speaker ?: You guys just won't stop.
[00:42:54] Speaker 3: But Hey, let's say this.
[00:42:55] Speaker 6: Uh, let's get into the Creator Crown Awards because we, you, you guys are just too live in the chat, you know? So, uh, we'll come back to questions as I kind of pile along here, but we got a nice, nice little slideshow put together here about probably what I think was one of the most interesting and fun things that we did. We had going on this weekend, this past weekend. I don't know about you guys, but, uh, the submissions were great. Yes. Such a, such a great, like a way bigger turnout than the previous year, which obviously was great to see people taking advantage of the fact that they had that timeframe, you know, um, over, over a hundred, over 150 entries.
[00:43:44] Speaker 3: Wow. Over 150, 50 entries. Yep.
[00:43:48] Speaker 5: And the interesting thing was good. So, um, there was a, like an aisle space between us and the, between the Savage Crucible row and the next set of tables. So there's a big space there and it was basically empty until, um, it was time to enter for the Creator Crown Awards. And once everybody set up their stuff, it brought in so many people that were just milling around looking at it as like an art gallery, basically. Um, I just, from the Savage Crucible booth, it, it was awesome to just watch people checking everything out and just, you know, totally blown away by that work.
[00:44:26] Speaker 4: And I love seeing comments like this. I got my first Savage Crucible figure at Titans. I can't wait to get more.
[00:44:33] Speaker 3: Nice man.
[00:44:34] Speaker ?: Thank you.
[00:44:35] Speaker 4: All right. I'll start going through these. Cause first up we got a Sculpt. So we had all these different categories. We had Sculpt. We had Figure Custom. We had Dio. We had Photography. We had some other ones. We'll get towards the end, but, uh, honorable mention was Timothy Burwell. Now I don't know Timothy. I don't know if any of you guys knew Timothy, like, you know, IRL. Yeah.
[00:45:00] Speaker 5: And it's, it's the interesting thing is this is all anonymous. So it's not like you can, when you're, before, um, winners are being announced, you can't go and talk to somebody about their work or their inspiration or anything. It's just what you see represented on the table. And then after the awards, then you have the opportunity to go and talk to them. Um, so just an interesting little tidbit.
[00:45:22] Speaker 6: I don't know who submitted that shitty ass orc in the back there though. Oh yeah. Who, who could have possibly.
[00:45:29] Speaker 4: Such an eyesore. You know what? Let's find out. Maybe. Oh, look. Oh, look at that. I will mention Matt O'Toole.
[00:45:38] Speaker 7: That's, that's coming to action figure for him. I'm telling you that right now.
[00:45:43] Speaker 4: Yeah.
[00:45:44] Speaker 5: Yes. That was my thought, Rob. When I saw that, I was like, oh, we need a figure of that.
[00:45:48] Speaker 4: I want a blue barbarian before I see this. Come on, man. No, what we, what was fun is we were going through the airport. So it was still me, Matt and, uh, Jedi Jack all going through and we're like, well, let's just show up early. Cause all our flights kind of were at the same time. And then when, uh, the airport security got ahold of this, they're like, well, we gotta look at this. Yeah. And he's taking the stick apart. And the guy was like, it's broken. It's like, no, Matt's like, no, that's, that's the skull. That's how I did it. The design. That's the design. It's not broken. And then he went and go, took it to other people show off. And Matt's going, take it out of the plat. Take it out of the plastic. Don't just look at it in the plastic. Like Matt, one of those guys to like, take a look and, you know, check it out. Check it out. That's awesome. Yeah. Yeah. Shout out to Matt.
[00:46:39] Speaker ?: Sculpt.
[00:46:40] Speaker 4: Number three. Duarte. Studios. I didn't realize that. Mm hmm.
[00:46:45] Speaker 7: Yeah. Oh, uh, ruffle right there.
[00:46:47] Speaker 4: Bog knuckles. I think is what he named this. I'm pretty damn sure it was bog knuckles.
[00:46:50] Speaker ?: I think.
[00:46:50] Speaker 4: Ha ha. Bog knuckles. Nikki. What did you think of this one? I actually didn't see it at the creator crown table. He was, um, selling versions of this over at his, um, at his booth. And he's going to have an exclusive colorway, I think for toy unity.
[00:47:02] Speaker 5: So I didn't have room in my suitcase to pick one up for this expo. But he was, um, selling versions of this over at his, um, at his booth. And he's going to have an exclusive colorway, I think for toy unity. So I didn't have room in my suitcase to pick one up for this expo. And he's going to have an exclusive colorway, I think for toy unity. So I didn't have room in my suitcase to pick one up for this expo. But I will plan on it for toy unity. Cause I really like it. Huh?
[00:47:24] Speaker 4: I wonder why not at my alley at all. Yeah.
[00:47:29] Speaker 5: Right.
[00:47:30] Speaker 4: Yeah. Duarte killed it on this one. And then this one right here, Chris chaotic second place over here for sculpt. I wish I could get like several pictures, but we'd be here all night. This thing was very intricate. That's very detailed.
[00:47:45] Speaker 6: I got probably one of the best greetings from Chris. I have everybody there. Cause you know, everybody got a dab and like, you know, like a hug, you know, I got the same. But then as soon as he pulled out of the hug, he just decided to rub my belly. Hey man, that's motivation, brother.
[00:48:01] Speaker 4: You know, and it made it even more awkward, but you know, it was still said it with Jedi Jack. Jedi Jack actually, uh, also inspired Chris chaotic because like Saturday, Chris went up to, to Jedi Jack went, I just got a pump on before the show because of you. Yep. So we did a quick workout. Just get that blood flowing, man, because Jedi Jack's arms looked like Snickers. Dude, no Snickers.
[00:48:26] Speaker 6: He's the walking Snickers bar. That's what I said.
[00:48:28] Speaker 4: But yeah, Chris really did a really damn good job on that sculpt. Then you put as many interests as you want. And this guy, Duarte number one in sculpt with the shred mobile.
[00:48:44] Speaker 7: So I knew it is cause I'd seen it before previously. Yep. Um, I think this is a good opportunity to talk about the process a little bit and how we do things. So you can submit more than one entry, but you have to pay to submit more than one entry. So like there was an individual, um, while I was standing there who paid for, I want to say about a hundred bucks worth of photography to put in. So it was like $10 an entry after the first one, your first entry free in every category it's free. So.
[00:49:19] Speaker 4: Oh, and then 10 after that. Okay.
[00:49:21] Speaker 7: Yeah. Yeah. And then the other thing is, is the, we pull judges from different walks of life. So like we had cosplayers, professional cosplayers, we had, um, independent toy company owners. We had painters, we had photographers and they were judging multiple categories or different categories. And even what they would be considered an expert in, um, they don't know who these people are. I mean, they might know them. Like, obviously we know this is Duarte, but the judge had no idea, or at least most of them didn't know that that was Duarte's work. Um, all they see is the serial number that they write down and then put their score with it. So they don't know that multiple people have submitted an, even in a single category. They're simply judging the work based on their opinion. And just like everybody else in this world, they bring their own bias to it. So sometimes a judge might like a photograph because of certain characters in it. And that character they just love. And it just, it's sort of like a bias. But at the same time, overall, when we have so many different judges judging each category, truly they're all works of art. And sometimes it's really, really difficult. Sometimes the separation between first place and like, I don't know, 15th place might be 10 points between all of them. Like it's ridiculously tight. Um, so I don't know if that gives anybody any comfort, but it's how we do it. It's how we want to do it. We've heard some of the suggestions about making a professional category. Unfortunately, I don't have the bandwidth and neither does anybody else on my team to go track down and do background checks on people to see if we're a professional. I don't know what that means.
[00:51:17] Speaker 5: Well, and someone, someone brought up a good point today. Like what, how, how do you define professional? If, if somebody is doing, um, customs or dial making as their primary job and, and, um, income stream, does that make them a professional? Like there's so many different ways to define that.
[00:51:35] Speaker 4: More like Gary right here, just asking.
[00:51:39] Speaker 7: Like for instance, and we'll get to this. Um, when we get to the Dio's, the person that won that is, um, somehow some people thought he was professional. Um, and he is a professional, he's a professional physical therapist. There you go. Um, just some, you know, I try to laugh it off because at the end of the day, this is my money that comes out of my personal account that I wanted to do to create creator crowns. And it's about art and it's about people having a good time. And I felt like 99% of the people there loved it and had a great time. And it did exactly what I wanted it to do in terms of bringing people together that were very creative. And look, we were inspired by so many of the things out there. Like, wow, we should do something like that. Like that, that was like the real thing that like I love about it is people bringing ideas and me thinking about how to do things that I wouldn't otherwise thought about.
[00:52:40] Speaker 5: And, and just like, you know, when we were doing the award ceremony, just great, great vibe. Um, the, especially the under 18 category like that was truly moving. Um, and it's, it's an in also it's an in-person event. First and foremost, that is the goal of creator crown was just to physically bring people together into the space and to enjoy each other's work. And so, while we do showcase online, that is not the primary goal of the event.
[00:53:16] Speaker 4: Very true. Yeah. Well said, Dan. Yeah. Everybody, the, the submissions and when they, I think when Ryan was doing the announcement, he said it. Yeah. I mean, it was tough to score those, you know, again, it's art, it's subjective as well. Certain things speak to others. Let me get to this real quick, since we're on that topic for Rob. Uh, Rooney was asking, would you ever consider making a separate category for pro semi-pro versus amateur artists? No, I went over that.
[00:53:46] Speaker 7: I, I was just, I just, how it's very easy for us to categorize somebody that we know. But what if somebody shows up that we don't know and they are professional?
[00:53:58] Speaker 4: Yeah.
[00:53:59] Speaker 7: All right. Like I, I'm not going there. Bottom line. Um, I think when we've, we've had discussions about this, the whole point of this is to celebrate the art, to bring people together and to show off your work. One of the ideas is we probably should have more categories. Alluding to what he's saying, not precisely, not dealing with professional or amateur. Um, I think there should be more categories, maybe more specific. Maybe we narrow something down to more like fantasy. Maybe we do something more like four inch versus six inch. Hmm. Maybe like, cause like last year we had a lot of 12 inches. We didn't, I don't think I saw a 12 inch, um, one out there. Right. So those are some, some considerations. You know, you look at the sculpt category and I don't remember there might've been only eight or 12 submissions and the original sculpt category, very small category. Um, compared to photography and you know, the kit bashes, the, those range in like the sixties, like roughly a 40 to 60 entries. So I think the idea is to try to highlight more people. And so I think creating a little, like kind of dividing the categories up a little bit, um, would probably be more helpful at it. Recognizing more people.
[00:55:25] Speaker 3: Besides I can't, uh, I can't do any more investigative work. I'm already tied up trying to look at the one per household orders. Yeah.
[00:55:34] Speaker 5: I can only be stretched.
[00:55:37] Speaker 3: So, so much.
[00:55:38] Speaker 4: That really does that, that needs some merge here. We're going to keep going through this here. So now speaking of, so we get into photography, photography honorable mention, Steve Mank over here. And I can't, I think I've seen this on Instagram. So I don't know if he's got an Instagram handle. Yeah.
[00:56:01] Speaker 8: He doesn't.
[00:56:02] Speaker 5: Yeah. And we have reshared this photo on our page before. Yeah.
[00:56:08] Speaker 4: Yeah. This, this looks great. Like I love this thing.
[00:56:11] Speaker 6: Steve does some amazing photography. Yeah. Yeah.
[00:56:15] Speaker 4: Then we had Zach. Uh, now Zach is one of the guys that was helping us, right? That's correct. Zach.
[00:56:22] Speaker 9: Wait, is that, is that Zach's last name?
[00:56:24] Speaker 4: Yeah. Wow.
[00:56:26] Speaker 7: Okay.
[00:56:27] Speaker 4: Yeah. Honorable mentioned by Zach.
[00:56:29] Speaker 6: He was a, he was a lot of help during the show. Tremendous help, man. He, uh, he definitely helped out a lot with everything.
[00:56:34] Speaker 7: Yeah. See, I'm biased to black and white pictures. I just love black and white pictures. Like I, that's a serious bias that I have.
[00:56:44] Speaker 4: Boom. Then this name came up earlier. Yeah. He's a, a wrap VIP winner of a primal there. So honorable mention, Sean Vaugh.
[00:56:53] Speaker 6: Good job, Sean. Love it.
[00:56:57] Speaker 4: Also. Uh, yeah, I'm a sucker for sin city and that. Yeah. Cain the post man, which is really Marv is a fantastic figure. And again, like Rob, like you're saying that whole, the whole black and white aesthetic. But with the color splash. Just like sin city. Just a little splash. Yeah. That's right. Great. Photography honorable mention. Thomas. A.K. Nutty. Nutty. And that was the, uh, was this the exclusive for the show from, uh, creative studios?
[00:57:30] Speaker 5: Uh, the Motifest exclusive.
[00:57:33] Speaker 4: Motifest. Okay. Love that thing. And then number three. Third place. Donna Spellman. And I'm just partial to dinosaurs.
[00:57:46] Speaker 5: So these were the two photos that I gravitated to.
[00:57:49] Speaker 4: You're like number one. No problem.
[00:57:51] Speaker 7: Yeah. But come on. That shot of the sun going through me. And that's a, that's a, that's a real day picture. People. Yeah. That is, that's, that was awesome. Yeah.
[00:58:03] Speaker 4: Love this picture. Then we get into second place. Benjamin Dixon. Benjamin. Like again, I, you guys shout out if you know any of these people, because I don't believe I got to meet Benjamin.
[00:58:18] Speaker 5: And that's the nice part too. Like I see all of the Savage Saturday shots every week, but this was an opportunity for me to see stuff that I'm not normally tracking like transformers or what, you know?
[00:58:31] Speaker 4: I may bring up gut from the dinosaur, but, but also so good. Yeah.
[00:58:38] Speaker 6: Yeah. If anybody is watching that, you know, uh, did win any of these categories, uh, if you want, plug your Instagram in the comments, let people know so they can, you know, give you a follow and admire some more of your work.
[00:58:52] Speaker 4: And I want to bring this up from, uh, Kurt Colby here. The awards portion really made the show feel a lot more like community. Very nice touch the cherry on top. That's again, a lot of the feedback we'll get negative feedback. And I know it's like the, you know, the squeaky wheel gets the grease, but there is a lot of positive outpouring about those awards. And we got the next one here. Photography first place. Duarte studios.
[00:59:23] Speaker 5: I was talking to him at his booth a little bit. And, um, a lot of the product, the custom product that he made dio's ships and things like that. He really liked these goblin figures that came out and it inspired him to make a whole bunch of products. Uh, just geared to the, those goblins. I thought that was really interesting. Yeah.
[00:59:43] Speaker 4: The hop hop dough or hop do goblins or whatever. I skipped out. I've been waiting on my many toys goblins forever. I got that other one. The, uh, was on 5k. The treasure goblin. The, uh, dang it. I mean, I forgot what brand that was. Now we're into a diorama and Rob, you wanted to make a comment about diorama on this category.
[01:00:09] Speaker 7: Uh, judging maybe I'm getting requests to, uh, to allow bigger dioramas going up to like a 12 by 14, I believe, or 14 by 14.
[01:00:24] Speaker 4: Oh, what was the limit on this? Was it? I think it was a 12 by 12. 12 by 12.
[01:00:29] Speaker 3: 12 by 12 by 18. Yeah.
[01:00:31] Speaker 7: Yeah. And they were saying that it's hard to do a diorama with multiple six to seven inch figures. It puts a limitation on how high you can go and then how deep. So that's something that's some worthy, uh, feedback I think for us to really consider.
[01:00:49] Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah. This one right here honorable mention Brandon Thompson. I don't know what that is. A, uh, the figure. Is that, uh, it's one 18th scale, but I can't remember the line. Is it acid rain?
[01:01:06] Speaker ?: Maybe.
[01:01:07] Speaker 4: I don't know what.
[01:01:08] Speaker 7: I just think that was a kit bash figure.
[01:01:11] Speaker 4: Or maybe, maybe it's a kit bash, but yeah, I did. And you can't see this again. We want to, I, we should have like a 360, like a shoot of video. We'd be here all night of every video, but like so many. Of these artists went all the way around and in the right hand corner, there's a little tiny fox in the grass, which is fucking dope.
[01:01:33] Speaker 6: Yeah.
[01:01:34] Speaker ?: Yeah.
[01:01:34] Speaker 4: This one's nice. This is another diorama. Another honorable mention from Stefan de la tour, AKA detour.
[01:01:42] Speaker 5: And this was just really different from anything else that was on the table. I really appreciated it. Yeah.
[01:01:49] Speaker 4: I, that's a great way to say that Nick. I really appreciate it. It really stuck out. I love the snow aesthetic. I thought everything on this was really cool.
[01:01:57] Speaker 6: And again, I can never say it enough. Steph is such an amazing human being. He's just always such a great like aura around that man. Yeah.
[01:02:06] Speaker 3: He gives the best hugs. Yeah. And I mean that sincerely like that. Yeah.
[01:02:10] Speaker 6: We totally had like a predator worthy, you know, like high five, you know, just, yeah. I just didn't call out Dylan. That was the only thing that was missing. Mr.
[01:02:21] Speaker 4: Mr. De la tour. I'd shout out the detour man. Detour is freaking awesome. Very. He is a positive force in our, in our space. Truly. Truly. Diorama third place. It's work day studios. Yeah, I did. I love this one. I'm biased when it comes to this. So every, every detail was neat. He was, he was on his game on this one. And I, I heard that the voting was pretty close on third, second and first place. Is that true, Ren?
[01:02:59] Speaker 3: Uh, yeah. Yeah. It was very tight, very tight competition for, for some items.
[01:03:06] Speaker 4: Let's go into here. This one right here.
[01:03:09] Speaker 6: This was my absolute favorite.
[01:03:11] Speaker 4: Second place. Brandon Thompson.
[01:03:14] Speaker 7: I'm surprised that sexy ice dog made it to the end of the show. I really thought someone was going to try to swipe it.
[01:03:21] Speaker 5: Oh man.
[01:03:23] Speaker 7: Especially with what. Human waste in one picture. One. Yep. Yep. One. That's right behind this blue trash bag on the left over here.
[01:03:33] Speaker 4: Cause Matt was like, Ooh, nice touch. It's got a, it's got a light lit up ATM machine too. It was, Oh man. This was really nice. Really techno noir.
[01:03:38] Speaker ?: Late renner-esque.
[01:03:38] Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah. Slates in it right here.
[01:03:41] Speaker 6: Yeah. It was dope to see in person. Yeah.
[01:03:44] Speaker ?: All, all these were, were awesome.
[01:03:44] Speaker 6: Yeah. Now we'll get to the first place over here. Gary Avery.
[01:03:47] Speaker ?: Gary Avery.
[01:03:47] Speaker 6: I was not a judge for any of the creator crown.
[01:03:49] Speaker 4: Um, categories. However, this was my favorite dio. Just from a perspective of like what I would want on my shelf. And so. Mm-hmm. It was, it was dope to see in person. Yeah. All, all these were, were awesome. Yeah. Now we'll get to the first place over here. Gary Avery. Gary. Yeah.
[01:04:06] Speaker 5: I was not a judge for any of the creator crown. Um, categories. However, this was my favorite dio, just from a, a perspective of like what I would want on my shelf.
[01:04:18] Speaker 7: So he had led lights too. Like on the, the forge it lights up. I don't. Yeah. Come through in this.
[01:04:26] Speaker 6: Well, the nice part that I don't know if anybody took a picture, but on the other side of that, he actually has like a fireplace, you know, and so you can utilize that diorama from.
[01:04:37] Speaker 7: Multiple angles.
[01:04:38] Speaker 4: Yeah.
[01:04:39] Speaker 6: It's really nicely done.
[01:04:41] Speaker ?: Yeah.
[01:04:42] Speaker 4: I, yeah. Fantastic. I like grain wheel, everything on this. And yeah, this was fantastic. Yeah.
[01:04:47] Speaker 5: And just like an extra added touch. If you know, the lore or backstory on Brynjar. It was like, perfect. He's a blade master.
[01:04:57] Speaker 4: Gary. Good job, Gary. Yeah. They were, they were definitely chanting Gary when he won. Yeah.
[01:05:03] Speaker 7: He's always a great, I mean, there's a lot of great people out there, but, um, we just know him personally. So yeah.
[01:05:09] Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah. Then figure custom honorable mention. You've seen this name before. You're going to see it some more. Brandon Thompson. Yeah. Toxic Avenger. I like this one, but what I'm going to glaze on is this next one. I don't care how shitty this book series is. I have it on audible. I love dungeon crawler, Carl. It is popcorn reading. I love princess donut. I love everything about it. So yeah, this one, I know people cause that they're all over social media with dungeon crawler, Carl. Yeah. I love to see one of these entries in the, in the show. Yeah. Chris loves the books too. Yeah.
[01:05:53] Speaker 7: Chris does. Oh, does it.
[01:05:55] Speaker 4: Okay. I'll talk to Chris.
[01:05:57] Speaker 7: Yeah. He keeps trying to push me to get the license.
[01:05:59] Speaker 4: And I'm like, Oh, these toys are garbage. The official toys are garbage.
[01:06:06] Speaker 7: Oh, so bad. It's not cause I don't like the concept. I just, there's, it's too hot to try to go after, you know? Yeah. Right. Yeah.
[01:06:16] Speaker 3: You're big in my book, Rob. Thank you.
[01:06:20] Speaker 4: Hey, yo. Honorable mention, Derek Smith. I love this one, man. I was telling Nikki, I was like, you've got to go over there and check out the darkness over here.
[01:06:31] Speaker 5: Yeah. Just, you know, seeing that armor repainted the way it is. Um, just awesome figure.
[01:06:38] Speaker 4: Yeah. This was great. Yeah. Shout out to Derek. He gave me the, uh, the eBay link to those, the heads that he boxed. Yeah. They're a perfect size for that figure, man.
[01:06:49] Speaker 5: And I'll also say this, um, allowing the multiple entries. So Derek entered, I think four or five different customs and they were all together. They all shared a similar aesthetic. And it just was like, from that art gallery perspective was really cool to see them all together. So I enjoyed that aspect of it. Yep.
[01:07:09] Speaker 4: From, from legend. And people I'm Rob, how many times have somebody asked you to get the, the legend license? Oh yeah.
[01:07:19] Speaker 7: Um, I will. I mean, I love the guy. I mean, there's so much I love about that. That movie. Um, we actually have a character coming out next year. Um, we actually have a character coming out next year. That's half inspired by, by this character. I was trying to think, um, Curry by the actor. I was, I was going blank on the. Yeah. Tim Curry.
[01:07:44] Speaker 4: Tim Curry. Rip Tim Curry, man.
[01:07:46] Speaker 7: Yeah. Um, so I'm really excited about that character. Oh yes.
[01:07:51] Speaker 4: All right. Keep going here. And then honorable mention the Nick. Our Instagram was kit bashing crimes. And I was not familiar with this guy, but this car from our Aqua team hunger force. Love it. You guys to be fucking kidding me.
[01:08:10] Speaker 7: He said, I didn't get the reference at all. Sorry.
[01:08:13] Speaker 4: Oh man. Carl, Carl from Aqua team. Someone wrote the moon rules. Number one on my car. Love this figure, man. Great. Keep going. Then we end up with, yeah. Number three here. Mike Palmer. This to me kind of looked like some sort of predator is what I got when I was like. I got when I was looking at it.
[01:08:42] Speaker 5: Very elaborate. Yeah.
[01:08:44] Speaker 4: Oh, this is great. That's a good way to describe it. Nicky elaborate.
[01:08:49] Speaker ?: So yeah.
[01:08:50] Speaker 4: Third place. Mike Palmer. And then second place.
[01:08:54] Speaker ?: Tuarte Studios. I love this.
[01:08:54] Speaker 4: I've really, I was talking to Duarte today. Like, I think if he had fit like a figure on there, perhaps Savage Crucible figure. I think that really would have helped sell things. I can assure you most of the judges give two shits about Savage. I just any figure, but I just, you know, maybe biased. Then number one, first place. Again, I know that name's familiar.
[01:09:29] Speaker ?: Brandon Thompson.
[01:09:29] Speaker 4: I love this one. This was great. Yeah. I am. I am a, I'm a ghost writer, Mark.
[01:09:34] Speaker 7: So yeah. I, yeah.
[01:09:36] Speaker 4: This thing was fucking cool as hell. That was also something to where you have a figure, but then somebody would set up almost like a little mini diorama. And I'm like, is that cheating? What do you think, Rob?
[01:09:57] Speaker ?: Is it cheating?
[01:09:58] Speaker 4: Yeah. Is it cheating?
[01:10:00] Speaker 7: No. I mean, we have a space requirement. It can't exceed a certain space and dimensions and things like that. But, um, in terms of the total thing, but I don't think it's cheating. I, you know, there's an argument to be made that just having a standard kit bash and then having a, a diorama, but that's also, you know, that's the artists, right? Like what if someone started putting gold flakes in the metal and then painting the figure? And it's like a, it's worth $12,000, but it shines like, you know, whatever. You're like, well, I don't have $12,000 to spend on gold flakes. And it's like, okay, I get it, but that's just beautiful. Right? Like it just looks beautiful. I can't help that it costs so much. Um, that goes back to like the led lights in the dioramas. Is that cheating? Because certain people that are making dioramas may not have, not that it's hard to make an led, but that's not necessarily a skillset. It's like people that can sculpt and then 3d print something and then put it under diorama or put it on their kit bash. Right. And then some people can't sculpt or don't have that ability. And they're relying on buying parts and kit bashing from what's existing. So I don't know. That's a lot for us to think about when we're talking about separating the categories a little bit. Um, I kind of want to do it in some fun ways per se, but, uh, I want to do it in a way that doesn't limit creativity, but actually increases it. Cause I think there this year over last year, I mean, there was certainly some creative stuff last year, but I think more people brought more creative things, um, this year than last year. And I want to encourage that.
[01:11:46] Speaker 5: I do something like scene slice custom where you're, you have a base and it gives you just like that little touch of the scene that it's going to be set in like, like this. And then you can just have like standalone custom or something like that.
[01:12:02] Speaker 3: Um, I do want to point out that for the, um, uh, for action figure custom, it could come with the base. The base was just limited to an eight by eight inch. So this is technically within the rules. I mean, that is serving as a base. They just decided to, or Brandon here decided to make it elaborate.
[01:12:28] Speaker ?: Yeah.
[01:12:28] Speaker 3: I mean, that's that, that's how you should do it.
[01:12:30] Speaker 6: So, and again, you know, like ghost rider is very iconic with his motorcycle. Right. So the motorcycle actually fits into the aesthetic of the figure of the custom.
[01:12:39] Speaker ?: Right.
[01:12:39] Speaker 6: So I guess it kind of just depends on, on, on what character you're trying to portray as well. You know, um, but I think, yeah, I think this is really nicely done here.
[01:12:49] Speaker ?: Yeah.
[01:12:49] Speaker 4: Well done, Brandon. Now we're gonna get into under 18 creator. Uh, before we jump into it, uh, what was this, Rob? Did you want to encourage younger creators getting into it? Like what was the, you know, the inspiration for doing this award at all?
[01:13:09] Speaker 7: Do I want to take a shot at somebody right now? Um, yeah, do it, do it. The under 18 was because look, most talents you get better. The longer you do something, right? That's just the bottom rule. The more you do something, you want to get good at something to keep doing it.
[01:13:30] Speaker ?: Yeah.
[01:13:30] Speaker 7: Cause you're going to suck when you first start. That's just the bottom line. That's what P that's what stops. Most people from getting good or great at something is because it sucks in the beginning and they can't stand it and they walk away.
[01:13:41] Speaker 4: Get discouraged.
[01:13:42] Speaker ?: Yeah.
[01:13:42] Speaker 7: Right. Everyone sucks in the beginning. I can guarantee you everybody that one first place here, their first attempt at anything, not necessarily that project, but when they first started out, it was trash. So, I mean, I, I think we can all remember where the people on this, this group on the, on the call that kit bashed and did their first customs, their first painting. They don't show it off today for the most part. And so that's where that was the basis of it. Knowing that in general, most people under 18 are just starting out. They're probably trying to connect with one of their parents or somebody in their family, that kind of thing. And so I didn't want to make it partly a family thing where like, yeah, dad likes to click action figures. I like to do this. This is where we meet in the middle. Or I watched my dad do this and I want to try to do it. And it's just that key part of growing up. I think that that's something that's missed a lot. Like we all learn things from our parents and the adults in our life skill sets that carried on and making art, you know, using tools, having an idea in your head and making it come to life the best way you can is really, really important. So I wanted to celebrate people that were under 18 that sort of what I call a kid category. And so last year was great. This year was awesome. It is by far my favorite category. There is no doubt about that.
[01:15:15] Speaker 4: So let's get into that. And why I, yeah, under 18. So Robbie Mackey. I mean, I don't do we, what was this age? Do we actually know that? No, this is good. Like for a first attempt, like this is good.
[01:15:34] Speaker 8: Yeah, I love it.
[01:15:35] Speaker 5: Yeah, it definitely tells a story and it was pretty freaking awesome. Yeah.
[01:15:41] Speaker 4: Yeah, everything. I like that. Nick, you nailed it right there. The storytelling that's kind of happening with this, right? You've got that sword in there. You have the lava coming down. It just, yeah, it's just cool. So get on to the next one. Fans choice. Now, how did the voting happen with the fans choice? Everybody just had a.
[01:16:05] Speaker ?: Yeah.
[01:16:05] Speaker 3: So we had a bunch of little pieces of paper on the, on the creator crown. Check in table and fans were allowed to take one piece of paper and write down the ticket number of their favorite entry across all four categories. Not one per category, but across all four categories, since we were going to take the most, the favorite one from all four. And then they just put that in the box.
[01:16:33] Speaker 4: So let's get to the fans choice. Jalen Martin. So photography on this one. Good job, Jalen. Yeah. And we do.
[01:16:42] Speaker ?: Do we know Jalen at all?
[01:16:43] Speaker 6: Anybody?
[01:16:44] Speaker ?: I don't know.
[01:16:44] Speaker 6: I don't. Okay.
[01:16:46] Speaker 4: So that's why, I mean, again, like I think Nikki said it with everything being an honest, it's kind of nice that, you know, when someone doesn't know who somebody is, you can win. Let's go on to the next category.
[01:17:01] Speaker ?: Best in show. Spoiler alert.
[01:17:03] Speaker 4: We've said this, his name before. And we've seen it before. Brandon Thompson, ghostwriter. Oh, Matt saying he was about 11. I expect a massive order from Brandon Thompson. Spoiler alert, we've said his name before, and we've seen it before, Brandon Thompson, Ghost Rider. Oh, Matt's saying he was about 11.
[01:17:22] Speaker 7: I expect a massive order from Brandon Thompson. I just put that out there.
[01:17:30] Speaker 5: All his entries will be Savage Crucible Customs next year.
[01:17:34] Speaker 4: No excuses there. Kyle Funk's in there, catching replays.
[01:17:39] Speaker 3: Incidentally, I believe he won also last year in Best Action Figure Customs. He makes beautiful action figure customs.
[01:17:51] Speaker 4: Does he have an IG to follow or anything?
[01:17:54] Speaker 5: I think he has a new account on IG. Either that or it's a bot and I've been scammed.
[01:18:00] Speaker 4: Oh, no. So, yeah, let me get us back to over here. How are we doing on time? We're doing what? We're over an hour. We're doing over an hour, and that's what we expected for doing, going through this. And this guy is on the stream with us, so I know we've got a lot of questions here. In fact, I think we probably want to segue real quick into Toy Unity because now that Titans Toy has happened, again, you're still going to see posts from us. There's more videos. No rest for the wicked. No rest for the wicked because we had to turn around. And what's our timeline? Less than three weeks? Three weeks. In three weeks.
[01:18:49] Speaker 7: I agree to all this.
[01:18:52] Speaker 5: So we're just just putting it out there. We're doing less cons next year. Yes. Yes. It is. It is exhausting.
[01:19:02] Speaker ?: Yeah.
[01:19:03] Speaker 4: Oh, yeah, everybody, especially Rob. I mean, Rob, jet lag, I mean, flying to China, not only doing Wonderfest, but also a factory tour, correct?
[01:19:13] Speaker 7: That is correct. Yes. I spent, I don't, over two weeks in China. And then I flew home and then I got to stay in my own house for 18 hours. And then I had business meetings in Nashville. I flew home 3 a.m. on Tuesday morning. Had to come into the shop. And then I had to get up the next morning and go to Nashville for two days of business meetings before I even headed to the hotel for you guys.
[01:19:44] Speaker 4: I want to bring this up. We can keep talking here. I'm going to go through some con picks. Is what I'm going to do. Still, if you want to watch the chat, I'm going to start off with my pocket figure. Soundwave is going to start off the slideshow here. If he didn't find air, John, but he found me a brew. And then, yeah, the first, the first place that, you know, we all, we all land, we all start going to meet. We met at that, the Mexican restaurant. And this is Jasmine and Erica's. This was, this is Jasmine's pocket figure, Chucky. And I love when Matt gets a hold of a figure because it immediately like starts playing with it. So I love this shot. Boom. And yeah, yeah, Chucky had to get some salsa while we were there too. I didn't know any of this was going on around me. We were at the other end of the table.
[01:20:40] Speaker 5: Oh, from this picture, I wanted to ask you guys, because I wasn't at Titans last year. Were the physical awards that you gave out any different this year or were they the same aesthetic?
[01:20:54] Speaker 7: I believe they were all very similar to the one in the middle. Yes. For best in show. I think they might have been a little, they might have been smaller, like, but the same kind of design. And I was kind of inspired by our loot bags to go with these gems.
[01:21:12] Speaker 5: I really like the gems.
[01:21:14] Speaker 6: Yeah, I like that.
[01:21:15] Speaker 5: That is awesome.
[01:21:16] Speaker 8: Yeah.
[01:21:17] Speaker 6: Somebody needs to create like a infinity gauntlet and then just like category and put all the gems in there. Oh, there you go.
[01:21:26] Speaker 7: Holly is really, really wants us to create some kind of crown, like custom crown. And I'm like, how can you bitch at me about costs and then you want me to come up with.
[01:21:37] Speaker 4: I definitely want to showcase this. And yeah, shout out to Erica and Jasmine who took these pictures. We got a mix of them between mine and theirs as we're going through there. And then, yeah, I wanted to highlight Collegiate Legends was there as we talk about Holly. A lot of happy kids.
[01:21:53] Speaker 9: A lot of happy kids at that show.
[01:21:55] Speaker 4: That's, I was just going to bring that up. So how did that work? So all kids got a pick of like these two figures here that we're staring at?
[01:22:03] Speaker 8: Yes.
[01:22:05] Speaker 4: And I tried to talk some children out of theirs. Some parents too.
[01:22:10] Speaker 7: You were one of those people trying to bully the kids. I see. Bully?
[01:22:14] Speaker 4: Listen, coerce gently, sir, is where I was at with that.
[01:22:18] Speaker 7: I don't know if it was because they wanted the figure or they had some kind of school affinity. I'm not really sure. But in all jokes aside, we were really pleased with the amount of kids that came to the show. And we talk about this. A lot of times we go to conventions and you only see two kids the entire show after three days. And it's kind of weird a little bit because you know kids would really enjoy coming to a toy show. Their parents may not enjoy listening to their kids asking to buy stuff, but overall. So there were a lot of kids at the show and we were really happy with that. And we know it's stressful for parents to come to a place like that and not be able to buy everything that your kid wants. And so having these was a great little treat for those kids that did come with their parents. And yeah, we're really happy with the turnout.
[01:23:16] Speaker 4: Dude, it's heartwarming. Like, I love that. I had a I took a photo with Chris and his family and his little girl was a fan of mine. And I'm like, you shouldn't watch anything. Like, this is the most tame I really am on this show. Other shows, I cuss like a drunken sailor with Tourette's. He's like, well, you know, she doesn't watch as much. But again, it was still awesome. And I love taking pictures when kids come up and want to take a picture. I just think it's cool and it's on Blaine. I love it.
[01:23:47] Speaker 7: I don't know who it was, but I had to get on to somebody twice because Gigi was Holly's daughter was right there. We're so used to being pretty crude at the show. Oh, man, I'm like, I'm pretty good.
[01:24:00] Speaker 6: Yeah, that was me. I was like. Still in the elevator, still. Rob's like, yay, back to reality, still. Like, look around you. It's like, oh, yeah, you're absolutely right.
[01:24:12] Speaker 4: The elevator was my favorite. As we look at the booth here, that far wall, Holly also made sure that she was playing football with a projector, which I thought was awesome.
[01:24:26] Speaker 5: I didn't even notice that because I was so slammed with the table, but that's awesome.
[01:24:30] Speaker 7: Yeah, we're actually going to do that on four different places next year. Like, that was too much fun.
[01:24:38] Speaker 4: Right? Did you think that worked out really well? Yeah, I do.
[01:24:41] Speaker 7: Like, it was great to be able to walk over there and check the scores real quick. Very, very little college football this year because I've been gone and, yeah, they're not playing that in China.
[01:24:57] Speaker 4: No, no, they're not. I keep going through here. And, yeah, got some shots of the convention. Actually, there's Leslie Slade right there, right, with that little kid right there in the middle of the picture. So, raffle winner right there. That line was nice.
[01:25:14] Speaker 8: Oh, we're going to pop in the chat for a little bit.
[01:25:19] Speaker 4: Keep on going here. I think, yeah, we had just, actually, there's Leon right there. I'm seeing a whole bunch of people I recognize.
[01:25:26] Speaker 7: I can't tell you enough. Thank you for everybody that came out. Like, we were overwhelmed with the amount of people that showed up. And the people that braved the weather, that was amazing. And it was great. It was really heartwarming to know that all the hard work we put in really paid off.
[01:25:48] Speaker 4: Oh, yeah. Your cell, one of our cosplayers out there. Some of y'all need a little stool to stand on. Can't even see all over the table boxes.
[01:25:56] Speaker 7: Throwing shots.
[01:25:59] Speaker 4: I wonder who she's talking about.
[01:26:01] Speaker 7: That's because we raised the tables up two feet. They're literally, like, five feet off the ground.
[01:26:11] Speaker 4: We'll keep on going here. And, yep, and there's Ian J., Erica, and Jasmine. So, again, shout out to them for helping with these photos, shooting videos. Find my figures, ladies. Go check them out. Now, Rob gave us toys to play with during this show, which I had a hard time wrapping my mind around. Like, you know, I got this, you know, Chaos Jaeger, you know, the mutant leader. I'm like, I've got this already. What am I supposed to be doing with it? Like, play with it? I'm like, but, like, now? Like, what are we doing?
[01:26:46] Speaker 7: So, I brought the stuff that I bought at Wonderfest, and then I saw them also on the, like, Hong Kong trips and stuff I might have stolen from the factory. For you guys to open, so it was like y'all's little Wonderfest, so the night before, that's what we did down in the lobby. So, but I wanted them back, and, like, Nikki stole my Wukong, my in-art Wukong. I was like, where are all my, like, what is going on here?
[01:27:13] Speaker 4: I never saw the Wukong, and I was like, I don't know what you're talking about. I brought it back.
[01:27:16] Speaker 5: I gave it, I handed it off to Don.
[01:27:21] Speaker 4: But it was cool.
[01:27:23] Speaker 9: Of all the figures, you could have stolen.
[01:27:26] Speaker 4: Yeah, this Ghost Axe, and also, this was a Wonderfest, like, one of 250 or something, Rob? I want to say.
[01:27:33] Speaker 7: 249, yeah.
[01:27:34] Speaker 4: 249. I just wanted to shout that out. And then one of the things that made it to the table was this Fury Tiger, which, actually, 5K just gave me my notification on just the white one, so I got that coming. Oh, man. This thing was on the Savage Table. People were thinking, wait, are you guys making a tiger? What's happening? We were just having fun and playing with this thing, especially Matt, as I got through these pictures here. Oh, man. Like, Matt was doing his best. Like, he's got, you know, that piece of meat there.
[01:28:05] Speaker 7: This is a funny story. So, we got to the factory. This is our factory. And I guess I haven't really done a show. Have I done a show after I got back from job? I don't even remember.
[01:28:15] Speaker 8: Okay. No.
[01:28:17] Speaker 7: So, Chris Chaotic was with us. Ben and Mark from Skeletron were with us as well. And when you go in the factory, they usually have, like, what we call, like, a showroom where they put out product that they've made. And they might have some product that they haven't made. But for the most part, it's supposed to be product that they've made. And they had the, Chen had the tiger out with the armor or whatever. And Chris goes, absolutely ate shit over it. Like, just crazy. Because it wasn't out. And he'd seen it. And we'd get to play with it or whatever. And so, Chen gifted us all one without the armor, mind you, from samples that he had. But the deal was is that we could only have one head. So, we had to pick which head we wanted. So.
[01:29:11] Speaker 4: I don't remember getting any of these, Holly. Okay. Yeah. We were just allowed to play with them. I didn't get to take anything home. Was that supposed to happen? I don't know who God is. But, yeah. I didn't get anything.
[01:29:23] Speaker 7: Y'all took plenty home at the end of the show.
[01:29:27] Speaker 4: Listen, I just, Holly, I just, I didn't know. I was like, did I miss something? You know, thanks, Holly. Again, yeah, we just kept having fun and posing. And this is actually a good size comparison for people picking that up like me. Way bigger than I thought it was going to be.
[01:29:44] Speaker 6: That is. Yeah, it's massive. Tiger, yeah.
[01:29:47] Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a big boy. Yeah, Matt just kept having fun. Like, every time it came back to the table, like an hour or two later. In fact, I probably missed poses that he was doing with this thing.
[01:29:57] Speaker 5: And that's the great thing about the Savage table, especially when Matt's around, is that walk around the con, circle back every hour because our figures will be posed very differently and there'll be different accessories. They'll be displayed with their different heads on.
[01:30:10] Speaker 9: And there might be stuff that.
[01:30:12] Speaker 5: A living thing happening.
[01:30:14] Speaker 7: You didn't know existed. It just makes your way onto the table.
[01:30:18] Speaker 5: Yeah, and I don't know what these are, so you can keep going to Kenan.
[01:30:21] Speaker 6: Yeah, this is interesting. That's why I refrain from going over to the figures because I get so submerged into it. And then Rob's like, let's go, we got to set up. And it's like, no. I'm panicking, like, no.
[01:30:35] Speaker 4: Yeah, that tiger was from, I got mine from 5K. I don't know if, like, Gundamit also sold that tiger or not. I don't know if they're still for pre-order, Stanley. I don't know.
[01:30:46] Speaker 7: Oh, that's the new sign from Blake.
[01:30:51] Speaker 4: D. Blake makes.
[01:30:52] Speaker 5: It was perfectly themed for the Dravarthi.
[01:30:56] Speaker 4: Yeah, I do. I love the blood splatter on that. He actually killed it on this one.
[01:31:01] Speaker 5: And I just wanted to say something real quick about the Crater Crown Awards. So we went over the, you know, honorable mentions, top three, all of that. There was some amazing work there that did not place. And just wanted to give a shout out to everybody who entered. It was truly something special.
[01:31:25] Speaker 2: Yeah.
[01:31:26] Speaker 4: Okay, I got you, Stel. So let's bring up this comment right here. from Too Many Action Figs. Can you explain why there wasn't more inventory at the show? Thankfully, other vendors? Toy Department, Articulated Empire, and Attorney of Dreams carried the show for May.
[01:31:46] Speaker ?: Interesting.
[01:31:47] Speaker 7: You guys are trying to bait me.
[01:31:50] Speaker 4: Baited.
[01:31:52] Speaker 7: Yeah, well, I mean, that's what Toy Department, Articulated Empire, and Attorney of Dreams do. They carry inventory of different brands to sell. I mean, we only brought the Dre Varthy, Circassian, Night of the Bearing, and Varkul to the show. I'm sorry that wasn't enough.
[01:32:14] Speaker 4: Yeah. And then, like, I didn't even go by 5K. Like, I was all, I even told Radha on the phone, like, oh, man, I can't wait to talk to guys from 5K. I didn't realize they were there because there was no banner. There was no nothing. I think I literally walked by their table and went, oh, I got some of this ordered on 5K, and I just kept on going.
[01:32:32] Speaker 7: Well, you have to understand, Jason was at Wonderfest himself, right? And so it was Chris chaotic, so Chris was exhausted, too.
[01:32:43] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[01:32:43] Speaker 7: So all those guys flew back home from overseas and then flew to the show, so it was not great timing for that. Also, another problem that presented itself with 5K is a lot of the the exclusives that he had at Wonderfest weren't ready to be shipped in time to make it to Titans. And so, actually, I was talking to them yesterday, and we're going to have several drops and or exclusives from several of the companies that 5K represents the United States at Titans next year. Nice. So,
[01:33:22] Speaker 6: I thought it was great to see people selling out of stuff, you know, that, you know, that to me, you know, just shows that everybody was just so excited to get these toys into their hands and, you know, spread that love and just show how awesome some of these things are. Like, you know, I wanted to pick up these Vala guys and thank God I did, man, because even Vala, like, he was selling out real quick, you know, like, swung by there, you know, and I was like, oh my God, let me pick these guys up, which great head sculpts by Kevin right here.
[01:33:57] Speaker 4: Shout out to Kevin. Oh, yeah, I didn't get Night Ops 2.0. I didn't get the Hammer. I didn't get the Head Packs. Now, Bobby put a cell up, so I ordered most of those, except not Night Ops and not the Hammer. They weren't. So, maybe I'll give him a toy Unity. We're going to find out. Do we want to talk about this horse or should I skip this thing?
[01:34:22] Speaker 7: Oh, no, this is from Fish Toys. You know, we partnered with them on the Death Dealer Horse. This was a prototype that Mr. Lee, who owns Fish Toys, gave me at Wonderfest because we thought that it just worked so well with one of our future figures. I thought it would just be great to have them on the table and just kind of highlight a different toy company.
[01:34:45] Speaker 3: And I thought I was done with horses.
[01:34:48] Speaker 4: Wren, I agree with you right there.
[01:34:51] Speaker 5: You guys, I have so, between Fish Toys and Mythic Legions, I have so many horses and the stuff that Fish Toys is coming out with, I'm like, oh, there goes another one. Yeah.
[01:35:04] Speaker 7: They make some pretty awesome stuff.
[01:35:07] Speaker 4: Number one Savage Crucible fan, Tyler Lalone over here is also the Calvary Master.
[01:35:15] Speaker 6: That's why I skipped out on the Tiger because they did that Pegasus Unic, you know, like. I did order that one, yes. Oh man, so I had to get that one. I just, I had to.
[01:35:25] Speaker 5: Yes. But this, this particular steed goes with another figure that may have been on our table.
[01:35:33] Speaker 4: Oh, okay, gotcha. I don't know if I see a figure here at all.
[01:35:38] Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know.
[01:35:40] Speaker 4: Those goat men
[01:35:41] Speaker 6: are great, by the way.
[01:35:43] Speaker 4: Yeah, the goat men, the goat men are definitely
[01:35:45] Speaker 6: something that I'm just, I can't wait to get the goat man.
[01:35:49] Speaker 4: Definitely. Oh, crap. I don't have the goat man.
[01:35:51] Speaker 7: If you totally
[01:35:53] Speaker 6: see him there. Do what, Rob?
[01:35:55] Speaker 7: Do you not have any pictures of the goat men? Yeah. Apparently, there was one,
[01:35:59] Speaker 5: a little, a few back, there was. Right there,
[01:36:02] Speaker 6: you can also see that awesome display piece that people were, I don't think this
[01:36:07] Speaker 7: is going to work, guys. I think people are going to figure out that you guys not hyping the goat men.
[01:36:13] Speaker 4: Hey, I like, you can see the hooves of the goat man. You know I love the goat men. I love the goat men. I mean. There, okay, now we're ready to go. There we go. Who's on, he's on pre-sale right now on Savage Crucible.
[01:36:29] Speaker 5: So he will be coming down November 6th or upon sellout, whichever happens first, and then he will be offered at retail after that.
[01:36:39] Speaker 4: Yep, then retail after that. All right, then now there, now we got Pan's Labyrinth. We were back to the goat men over here. So we got a couple good shots. Rob, sorry, I didn't have time to really go through these pictures a whole lot.
[01:36:50] Speaker 7: No, the goat men are actually missing, they have a, they come with a soft, good loincloth that goes around the belt. So you got
[01:36:57] Speaker 6: a nice little something that Nikki painted in the picture there too.
[01:37:01] Speaker 5: There is.
[01:37:02] Speaker 6: Oh,
[01:37:03] Speaker 5: the guy in the background. Wave four.
[01:37:09] Speaker 7: And the, the, the dreadnought, silver there too.
[01:37:12] Speaker 4: Oh wait, hang on. Beautiful. Oh yeah, you're right. I think I got pictures of those. I think. Man, this guy looks gorgeous. Mm-hmm. And I got a, I snagged a few pictures between Find My Figures Ladies and Me, the Harbinger of Doom.
[01:37:30] Speaker 7: It's Harbinger of the Abyss.
[01:37:33] Speaker 4: I'm sorry.
[01:37:34] Speaker 7: Sorry. so,
[01:37:34] Speaker ?: so,
[01:37:34] Speaker 7: you know, like giving you shits. Okay. What's interesting, I think in this picture is that it doesn't really show the glossy, the wetness of it.
[01:37:46] Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't think, yeah, the lighting of the cameras didn't hit it because it looked like it was wet in person. Yeah.
[01:37:54] Speaker 5: Not only, like there's a nice sheen to it too, other than just the gloss. It's not just slapped with gloss. But, Rob, did this prototype of the Harbinger have some of the re-engineered parts on it?
[01:38:08] Speaker 7: It did. I actually have some non-painted ones right here. Hold up. You got them? I think we'll roll over this in more depth after Toy Unity, but we had to redesign. Sorry. We had to redesign the upper tunic after we'd already tooled it because when you moved them at the waist there was such gappage and it just looked really bad. And so, unfortunately, sometimes in production you think something's going to work and it doesn't and when you get, you finally get to a mold injector's point and it doesn't look good or work the way you think it does, you have to re-sculpt something. You have to send it back to get tooled again and that certainly delays things, but I'd rather it be right and look good than rush something and make it look bad.
[01:39:02] Speaker ?: So,
[01:39:04] Speaker 9: that show
[01:39:06] Speaker 7: what it looks like before this and then people, I think people really understand why we made the change.
[01:39:11] Speaker 5: And we'll do a big update on Wave 3 after Toy Unity. You're going to have some factory samples in hand and we can show some of those differences but seeing this Harbinger on the table, I've only seen the original prototype and it is so, like, 2,000% better. So, yeah, just, it's something you truly had to appreciate in person and of course we're going to get that all to you soon. Hopefully.
[01:39:43] Speaker 4: again, fingers crossed. This course. Yeah. Love everything about the Danes.
[01:39:52] Speaker 5: Yes. I have one on my painting desk right now. It is prime and now I am fully inspired after Toy Titans to execute that.
[01:40:03] Speaker 3: Wait, is that your painting desk behind you?
[01:40:05] Speaker 5: Yeah.
[01:40:06] Speaker 3: I like to keep it, I like to keep it
[01:40:08] Speaker 5: small and simple. It's a little messy right now. So, yeah, I got my little corner. It's got great natural light. Yeah.
[01:40:20] Speaker 6: Yeah, the possibility on these Danes is so good.
[01:40:23] Speaker 5: Oh, somebody earlier asked we should do severed limbs and I wanted to bring up this photo because there's like hunks of meat and some limbs that you can actually plug into a limb socket that are like stripped away flesh.
[01:40:41] Speaker ?: So,
[01:40:42] Speaker 5: there you go.
[01:40:44] Speaker 4: Very damn cool.
[01:40:48] Speaker 5: This guy's, this guy's still a super early prototype, so he's a little floppy, but we'll have factors of this guy soon.
[01:40:57] Speaker 6: You can put the Gorgon out too because that one was a little
[01:40:59] Speaker 5: yes.
[01:41:02] Speaker 6: No, shout out to yo, Joe, jerk.
[01:41:05] Speaker 7: One of the bigger announcements of the show.
[01:41:11] Speaker 6: It's true. And you know what? Nobody, I've been scanning the comments. Nobody is doing something. Someone's finally starting to. Oh, did they? Okay. Yeah.
[01:41:22] Speaker 5: Oh, yeah. The, the, um, I don't know if you got pictures of Kubla, but yeah. Oh, there we go. Yeah. Sample.
[01:41:30] Speaker 4: Oh, I don't think I got any of the Kubla in here, but what I will say, I think I said this during the live review I did of the, the nights I was not a fan of Kubla Khan. Like, I just thought the face just wasn't finished. Seeing this again, you see these things in person. Yeah. Kubla Khan looks great in person,
[01:41:52] Speaker ?: man. Yeah.
[01:41:54] Speaker 5: He, he might be my favorite savage figure.
[01:41:57] Speaker 6: So I was really thinking of ways that I could take him from the table without anybody noticing. But
[01:42:05] Speaker 4: this guy, Jesse Newkirk is we're still got to learn how to run a raffle because I wasn't going to do it because I'm like, I don't how to run a raffle. Neither did still and still took the helm because he was closer to the outside. So by default, he got to learn how raffles work. Yeah. Shout out to Jesse Newkirk. He got to win that hiss. And there was all
[01:42:30] Speaker 5: kinds of import figures that you brought over from China, everyone that had a VIP ticket was automatically or they had to fill out their ticket and enter the raffle, right? Yep. Awesome.
[01:42:44] Speaker 4: Yeah, there's that
[01:42:45] Speaker 6: shit for because I was telling them to write their name in the back. Yeah, you're welcome after you were like, oh, I can't read these numbers.
[01:42:57] Speaker 4: Yeah, again, that Jaeger back there is on my top 10 figures of the year. So, I mean, these were great raffle prizes.
[01:43:05] Speaker 7: That's just the one table. What was the, there's two other tables?
[01:43:08] Speaker 4: Let me go back. I had the, I had the three o'clock table, which is Joe's best acid rain. Two o'clock. I don't have the two o'clock table.
[01:43:21] Speaker 6: A bunch of mask figures. Yeah, a bunch of masks. Yep.
[01:43:27] Speaker 4: There was, yeah, it was called the mask table. Yeah, I mean, good lord, man. Rattler, Haslab Rattler, Haslab Hiss, that Joe Fest. Rob, what about
[01:43:38] Speaker 6: your Rathie Dane? Sorry, that just came up. That was pretty cool.
[01:43:43] Speaker 4: You're good.
[01:43:48] Speaker 5: So, Rob, what's, what's, what's interesting about Sanyag?
[01:43:53] Speaker 7: Well, this is by our friend Avi. figure fight club fame. He is starting his own toy line and he's utilizing the base buck from Savage Crucible to make that happen. So, the sculpts are by Nick Whitmore, which is the last sculpts for Savage Crucible. anybody that came to ZoloCon met him and knows what an amazing person he is to be around. But, this is his project. He's had this sort of story in his mind for years and he's wanted to bring it forward. So, he approached me about it. And, I think one of the hardest things for people that want to start a figure line or storyline is the cost associated with manufacturing. I think people underestimate how much tooling costs. And so, by utilizing my tooling, it greatly saves him on costs, but it also allows him to get his figures out faster because he's not having to reinvent the wheel. so, I'm very happy that we can offer this. This is very much in the same vein with Almighty Legends. You know, their angels use a lot of our parts, body parts. So, for me, from my perspective, I think it just opens up the line a lot more to kit bashers and customizers to collect three different lines and utilize all the parts from three different lines. And there might be a fourth one in the works as well.
[01:45:36] Speaker 5: Yeah, and he has some really great designs inspired by Indian culture. He had one painted prototype there that looked amazing. I'm going to be working on one of the figures for him. I'm excited for that.
[01:45:54] Speaker 3: That's awesome.
[01:45:55] Speaker 6: So, if you want to follow him while this kind of rolls out, check him out, Sanyang on Instagram. I think he might be on Facebook too.
[01:46:06] Speaker 5: Joycelle.
[01:46:10] Speaker 4: Boom. I'm killed with the
[01:46:12] Speaker 3: story. So, what's with the Pathfinder? I'm seeing a lot of comments here.
[01:46:22] Speaker 6: Let's talk about it.
[01:46:23] Speaker 4: There, let's get, I'm going to get one, I'm going to get through this. We have the what Almighty Legends and that was actually the last slide.
[01:46:30] Speaker 5: Some of his, some of his new armor sets that he was showing off were off the hook. There was one with like a, I think it's the one in the bottom right there. There was like an owl mask and just beautiful colors. So I'm all in on that.
[01:46:47] Speaker 4: And then for those that don't know, what is the Almighty Legends and Savage Crucible tie-in? Is there any?
[01:46:54] Speaker 5: yeah, yeah, so they they share the same base body just like Rob was saying about Sanyog, Almighty Legend shares the same base body in part so it's the same system.
[01:47:05] Speaker 4: Right on. Then boom. We can get into that. I'm going to highlight this real quick still. Mr. Wonderful, I got to meet again in person with this Hex Stack. anyone tell what Pathfinder book that Rob has that yellow sticky in and roughly what page?
[01:47:34] Speaker 7: There are a lot of sticky notes in there.
[01:47:38] Speaker 5: It was very interesting because one of our big glowy background panels for the Savage booth had Pathfinder or Savage Crucible took a big group shot in front of it and I think I only got one comment online about it but a lot more people noticed obviously in person because we had a design to show there not in 3D form but in 2D form and yeah exciting stuff with Pathfinder You know
[01:48:11] Speaker 6: what I think is great and this has happened a couple of times that I've noticed that people get so excited about whether it's picking up their exclusive or they were so eager to get their knight or Varkul that sometimes because you're so hyper focused on getting that figure in your hands you kind of just don't really pay attention to your surroundings even even JoFest you know there was like specific figures that have been kind of sold out for a while and people were just so eager to get their Dravarthi right that they just like skip right through those and I think that just kind of was the case with the Pathfinder you know like people are just so eager to get like their night their Varkool and it just totally just like skip right through paying attention to what was going on right there so
[01:48:57] Speaker 4: I will say this yeah Joyce all saying y'all ignore the question Moonshadow asked actually I didn't see it pop up
[01:49:09] Speaker 5: they asked when when females will get into the line basically obviously I keep saying they're on their way they're on their way we're taking no one
[01:49:19] Speaker 4: has ever asked anything about female figures in Savage Crucible before I don't believe I think this might be the first one holly's
[01:49:28] Speaker 3: coming in hot with that coming bring it up still
[01:49:32] Speaker 6: whoops hold on restream being restream
[01:49:39] Speaker 4: yeah have y'all gotten to the other new license yet or just the Pathfinder Oh I was just picking a random accent I decided to go with it we just started getting on Pathfinder like literally just you know we're just talking about it now Rob what can you talk about right now with this Pathfinder
[01:50:04] Speaker 7: I'm trying to pull up images since my team has failed me
[01:50:11] Speaker 4: sorry guys sorry Rob sorry everybody
[01:50:15] Speaker 3: I'm just a Shopify guy here so I don't know just a Shopify guy
[01:50:20] Speaker 7: sorry for the delay I'm trying to share my screen but only show one of them so it's a little bit of a so as I scroll through this and since no one else wants to carry the conversation obviously we have partnered with Peso
[01:50:38] Speaker 4: yay and the
[01:50:40] Speaker 7: Pathfinder license
[01:50:41] Speaker 4: that was Eric that was at the show
[01:50:45] Speaker 7: yes Eric Mona from Pathfinder came to the show he's a huge action figure fan and I think he was actually upset with me because he spent so much money at at show buying stuff from multiple vendors but he he's been an action figure collector for years so he's just a great guy fit in really well with the team and I have no idea how to share this this on screen so go
[01:51:25] Speaker 4: down to present
[01:51:26] Speaker 3: press H you can press on your keyboard H and it will
[01:51:30] Speaker 7: yeah I have 27 programs open on my computer five screens that I use it's not that easy for me
[01:51:39] Speaker 4: if you look at the plus sign and then share screen you can do it that way
[01:51:44] Speaker 3: do
[01:51:46] Speaker 4: very bottom of the UI for restream with the plus sign and it will give you a whole bunch like presentation video and share screen will be the third one down here I'm just going to email this to you guys yeah send it over
[01:51:59] Speaker 5: or that
[01:52:01] Speaker 4: oh yeah there by the way there was some a lot of requests about making the pathfinder goblins which yes
[01:52:10] Speaker 7: so anyway so yeah we have a licensing deal with pathfinder the first one out is a goblin named Fumbus who's a heroic goblin he's an alchemist I thought he's a really cool character cool new body type to bring into the savage crucible world um Brody uh previously of NECA sculpted this Dave Proctor did the base body actually surprised me with it I didn't even know he was working on it um and so once I knew that we had the base body I was like all right because I knew Eric was kind of do a soft announcement sort of surprise the people there that come up and see it so we had great feedback from a lot of people that were Pathfinder fans not everybody knows what Pathfinder is not everybody knows what Dungeons and Dragons is um and so really excited about the license um they have really great goblins great gnomes they have a lot of great uh characters that were excited to bring to the world of Savage Crucible and just to bring into action figure form
[01:53:23] Speaker 4: dude Pathfinder goblins I think I told you this show that has been my favorite design like whenever I'm you know doing goblins in any of my the campaigns I've ever run I don't care what world it's in it I always base it off the look of these goblins yeah this is great
[01:53:42] Speaker 5: and when I've um kind of developed campaigns or characters for D&D in the past I draw heavily from the Pathfinder designs I love their aesthetic um particularly for the female characters I'm not super familiar with all of the different ones but as I told Rob the female characters and the gnomes is what I'm mainly after
[01:54:05] Speaker 4: yeah
[01:54:07] Speaker 5: but this goblin is definitely doing it for me
[01:54:09] Speaker 4: oh man yeah a hundred percent I think my second favorite goblins after this are probably like a Warhammer fantasy probably
[01:54:19] Speaker 6: really nice
[01:54:23] Speaker 4: yeah more pictures still or is it just that one
[01:54:27] Speaker 6: that's the one that Rob sent okay over I mean there's definitely going to be way way more stuff coming but and we did have somebody that was if you know let's talk about him too which it's funny I think Matt I think Matt was he didn't know
[01:54:46] Speaker ?: he didn't know
[01:54:46] Speaker 6: he was part of the whole Pathfinder aspect of it and he's like who is this guy beyond the band and then we're like no Matt he's with the Pathfinder so um.
[01:54:55] Speaker 4: Yeah Eric was great I really enjoyed talking to him and I yeah I would love to try to work in a pathfinder D&D session with the team so I'm kind of bummed I didn't really get a chance to talk to him that much so that would be nice to have him talk about that on the show uh hot the basher I'm gonna hit this question real quick got to meet him at the show he's asking when is Kubla Khan shipping with the death dealer.
[01:55:21] Speaker 5: Negative so if you go to our website we have a timeline with all ETAs on there um so you can see what he's part uh Kubla is part of way four so you can see um when we are estimating him shipping from the factory. I don't have everything memorized in my brain is still very full from titan so I do not have all of those facts and figures um in my head right now.
[01:55:46] Speaker 6: There it is.
[01:55:47] Speaker 5: Thank you.
[01:55:48] Speaker 6: Which yeah we definitely got it updated too here.
[01:55:51] Speaker 4: Got to be updated but this is your best guide so far guys.
[01:55:56] Speaker 6: So just think about it we're just right past that titans.
[01:55:59] Speaker 3: Yeah it'll be updated after toy unity going into here.
[01:56:04] Speaker 4: With two ex two exclusives Rob or two con drops?
[01:56:09] Speaker 7: Uh unity is going to have one exclusive and one uh con debut.
[01:56:16] Speaker 4: Con debut okay right on.
[01:56:19] Speaker 7: Um and it's two to be determined if we bring any of our cool or nights to that show. Um but we do expect just to reiterate we will have Def Dealer Red Dre Varthy Komodos at that show. And if we have any of the exclusives and or drop figures they will be released um probably at noon on Sunday I would say noon or one I'm not really sure I have to look at the schedule again but yeah um we'll we'll be sure to announce that Friday night so everybody knows to come back through if they want an extra for one of their friends. We'll see um I think Gordon is talking about going back and doing lore videos for figures that we don't have for future releases. Going back for ones that we've already released okay and doing that um so that's something we're willing to explore but that is also it takes a lot of time and capital to do in terms of just project management so.
[01:57:32] Speaker 4: I don't know at this point don't know I love the lore videos uh TC needs savage treasure chests for the loots. I've been looking like I'm like I need a treasure chest I can put like my bag of stuff in.
[01:57:48] Speaker 5: This thing is full right now customizers have some great stuff out there.
[01:57:55] Speaker 4: Yeah yep that's my collected bag of uh you guys have more blind bags than I do what's going on.
[01:58:03] Speaker 7: Well they do come to more conventions so. More things from all of our loot right that's the.
[01:58:11] Speaker 5: I want more necklaces from from my night which actually I picked up. I did get a circassian and I stole I stole my pose from Matt. Matt's a great poser I am not so this is the post that I chose. But um from my night and my var cool and my exclusive that I picked up. I did get three new blind bag pulls that I had been waiting for so that was awesome. And Excalibur was one of them so.
[01:58:39] Speaker 4: Good lord hang on number former number one savage crucible fan.
[01:58:44] Speaker 3: If you need any loot I got some loot.
[01:58:47] Speaker 4: He's got the he's got the plug right here like natto right here. Gravy. I know we're trying to wind stuff down but like every time Nicky holds something up I'm like yeah. Yeah bring him up. This sword is awesome. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Circassian.
[01:59:03] Speaker 6: It gives me it gives me a lot of like Ned Stark vibes for some reason.
[01:59:07] Speaker 4: Oh yes. I love this by the way. It's rare that figures actually show the male pattern baldness. So actually I'm a fan of that and I kitted him out. Like if there was some place I could put his stuff then I plugged it on in. There's no there's no Rogaine in the crucible.
[01:59:25] Speaker 5: All right. Duarte and death owl customs say that they have treasure treasure chests.
[01:59:33] Speaker 4: Oh Duarte I sold out of my functioning treasure chest made specifically for the savage gems. I will have more at toy unity. Sweet and then right right underneath that the chat starts jumping again. Uh yep death owl over here. Casey I have magnetic one sculpted was playing to bring a shitload of titans but couldn't bring many.
[01:59:52] Speaker 5: And Casey brought some awesome stuff. Yeah. That was awesome to see too.
[01:59:59] Speaker 7: I think he drove like 18 hours each way. Yeah. In front of the show. Trooping.
[02:00:06] Speaker 5: And help set up and tear down and all the things.
[02:00:09] Speaker 7: Oh yeah. He was great.
[02:00:10] Speaker 5: Yeah.
[02:00:11] Speaker 4: Now Holly did say something about another license. Rob do we want to close the show out with another license? No we don't. Okay Holly.
[02:00:21] Speaker 6: There we go. You got to say something where you know gee for the love of God.
[02:00:26] Speaker 7: I mean are we going to bring up the collegiate legends licenses? Let's see there's I can't even name them all. There's Ole Miss, Indiana, Michigan State, Texas. I'm going blank already. Virginia Tech, Oklahoma. Virginia Tech at least. See I'm not even halfway through. I've already forgotten them all. That's how tired I am. So those must be the licenses she's referring to. Now she knows there's another Savage Crew School license that we haven't announced yet. So but we have plenty of licenses at this point. You know we have the Frazetta Art Museum. Yep. And the Moorcock, see I'm tired. Moorcock license. The Fritz Lieber State, Foffer and Gray, Mauser license. Yep. Pathfinder.
[02:01:16] Speaker 5: Pathfinder.
[02:01:17] Speaker 7: And then our fifth unannounced license. So which will actually be announced relatively soon I feel like. So we're excited about that one as well. But all of these kind of layer and fit different genres. I don't say different genres that's the wrong term. But they they fit Savage Crucible. And so we're excited about all of them. And we hope we can do them all justice in giving them the attention they deserve. But big things are coming. And 2027 is going to be a bigger year than 2026.
[02:01:54] Speaker 4: So that is factual from everything that I've seen. You can say that again for sure.
[02:02:02] Speaker 6: What's around the show? We have two hours. I'm sorry, Nikki.
[02:02:05] Speaker 5: We're going to be on the next show. So we're every other Thursday. So we will be announcing the Toy Unity exclusive and Toy Unity drop on next show. Is that correct?
[02:02:18] Speaker 6: That's correct.
[02:02:19] Speaker 5: All right.
[02:02:20] Speaker 4: Along with Articulated Ninja will be on.
[02:02:23] Speaker 6: That's right. He will be on with us. Sweet. Nice.
[02:02:26] Speaker 4: Because we got to switch gears. We got to pivot, as Holly would say. We have to go to Toy Unity now. All our energy is going to go towards that.
[02:02:34] Speaker 5: Yes.
[02:02:36] Speaker 4: Nikki, anything that you need? Go ahead, Ron.
[02:02:39] Speaker 3: No, I was going to say pivot is the word for 2026.
[02:02:43] Speaker 4: Nikki, you got anything coming up that people need to know about?
[02:02:46] Speaker 5: I'm just trying to rest and prepare for Toy Unity. And I feel like I'm going to get my winter hibernation rest after all that's done. So that's really my focus right now.
[02:02:58] Speaker 4: Right on. Rob, I think you already did the whole closing out. Do you have any other final thoughts?
[02:03:03] Speaker 7: Thanks for everybody that came to Titans. Thanks for everybody that submitted their work for Creator Crown. It's not easy submitting your artwork and being, quote, judged and/or opening it to the public to see in view. But there's just so much amazing work. And I hope people come back for 2027. Titans Toy Expo is the last weekend in August of 2027. So you can go ahead and mark your calendars. I believe that is going to be Friday to August. I'm sorry, Friday, August 27th and Saturday, August 28th.
