Shocking Secrets on How Toys Are Made!

[00:00:00] Speaker 1: how bad you spent more on president's cards i was pissed i was watching a video and i'm like [00:00:08] Speaker 2: he didn't use my intro sometimes i feel like a teaser like yeah gotcha moment that chest is so [00:00:15] Speaker 3: glossy it's like you could have you could have done that but i guarantee you if there's like [00:00:21] Speaker 2: something that you say it's like oh to just get people to watch sure guarantee you that there is [00:00:28] Speaker 3: not one designer or anybody in that whole entire building of super seven that knows what the ys texture book is or has one that's my mate all right ready three two one you [00:00:42] Speaker 4: so i'm boxing up orders uh just for this is the regular daily overnight stuff that comes in so it's one of the first things i do in the morning is pull the overnight orders and then box them up and you know it's not it's not rocket science but we do you know it is a really important thing because we want to be very careful to pack it in the box that it that it'll fit in and that sounds like you know a third grade job but if you understand how the stuff nests together best it's not just so it's the smallest box so the shipping is lowest but it's also to make sure the product gets to the fans in the best possible shape so if you could actually nest the product a smaller box in with a bigger box it'll actually protect both of them on the way and so it's a big part of what we do but it's something you know i don't think anybody thinks about right you place an order and it shows up well there's actually a process to it [00:01:40] Speaker 5: i'm pretty interested to see how um this week's video does because it's kind of a a little bit of a polarizing uh what was it again it's the um [00:02:06] Speaker 3: uh what i think about third parties and customs oh yeah yeah yeah me too we're gonna change the direction of the channel but i was gonna start talking about anything that comes to mind whether it be pornos or michael jordan or pokemon cards i mean if you want to do that do that [00:02:24] Speaker 2: i do think more interviews would be good because those are longer yeah and bring in more revenue [00:02:31] Speaker 3: don't cost you any money that's true yeah i'm gonna reach out to kirk and get him um a little warmer than it was this morning it's probably only like oh yeah i didn't mean to bring the sweatshirt with it's probably only like 25 degrees now oh god so what are we getting at buffalo wild wings listen man they uh they make a good maple sriracha sauce on their wings which i'm a big fan of when i come here to watch ranger games they got the first 15 or whatever they're called the last 17 no uh let's see if they have any of the last 17. four alarm and scrotum yeah they got the no the um the a-wing pilot down there he's part of last 17. they say scrotum there you go that's for you of course you go right over to the turtles [00:03:28] Speaker 2: well i mean i told you it's the best toy line [00:03:30] Speaker 3: if done the right way i mean yeah if done the right way i'm just like it makes me wonder like well what what isn't out there yet now i don't think anyone's done 12 inch turtles like hot toys mondo level 12 inch turtles i'm not saying that's what i want to do i'm just saying like think of a shredder that big now neca did the quarter scale stuff but they just scaled up their six inch figures i'd want to take a direction sort of like this i don't want to be beholden to a specific look like the o3 stuff it was similar to the 80s stuff but it was it was a little edgier it had just a little bit now you don't have to go and egregiously change the look of something you can just slightly tweak it and you got something new like this is slightly tweaked and it looks awesome um so yeah i don't know what i would want out of a turtles line it's turtles you know it's gonna sell it would be pretty epic to get a turtles license and that's what i'm saying is like [00:04:46] Speaker 2: you've worked on joe you have your own joe yeah you can't touch he-man yep i don't know how they how they got it because i feel like mattel keeps that pretty locked up yeah but not contracts are based on scale so like marvel i know but i thought mattel like doesn't let go of their stuff um oh that's right because they own it um but you could like make a childhood favorite of yours that's what i played with as a kid that you know has an audience that will just buy anything with that [00:05:22] Speaker 3: freaking four colors and logo i know what i would do and wait till we're not filming i'll tell you i know what i would do i think we should just switch the channel to just a harry potter channel from now on i'm only talking about harry potter i don't think anybody does that might be something might be something oh i don't have to put the mic on anymore so i shaved my chest [00:05:51] Speaker 6: for nothing good jerk intro i was i was pissed i was watching a video of mine the other day and i'm [00:06:01] Speaker 3: like he didn't use my intro you ended up using a clip from like within the video so i was like [00:06:06] Speaker 2: all right i will say like sometimes i feel like a teaser like yeah gotcha moment yeah will do better and if i can incorporate like like with like some of the mech suit videos it's like it's like a teaser yeah then it's your intro then it's like the building mech thing i gotcha yeah yeah so so i do the intro anyway just if you want to use it but if not so if i if there's like something that you say it's like oh to just get people to watch sure [00:06:36] Speaker 3: yeah i know who made this well they could have given them they could have given and i know that you're gonna say no they couldn't because the body comes off but if super seven knew what they were doing i could show them how to make ball joints for arms when you don't have the room inside the torso it's very easy guys it's very easy but instead they made so he just goes like this [00:07:17] Speaker 2: okay just what do you what do you like about it [00:07:22] Speaker 3: i like the krang and like the krang is really nice but the skin it's too shiny it's too glossy like i know he was an android but he was like an android covered in skin so you could have put a ys texture on there to tone it down um but no they left it really ys ys is yiksang yiksang books it's just these binders full of swatches of texture different textures that you could photo etch onto the mold so if something's too glossy you do like a matte finish they photo etch the texture onto the mold to make it a matte finish and they're virtually free they cost like a couple pennies but you know look at the arms and the head and the chest and the chest the chest isn't even the same color as that arm but it's like that chest is so glossy it's like you could have you could have done that but i guarantee you guarantee you that there is not one designer or anybody in that whole entire building of super 7 that knows what the ys texture book is or has one they'll know because of this video but they will not have known prior to this just like designers at hasbro they don't know what ys texture books are either it was kind of like a thing of the past but it's still very relevant but it it could make or break your item because you do a ys texture can make it feel more premium because of the finish on it but instead no let's just make you know this really glossy and cheap looking the crank is nice though there i said something nice about it the secret of the ooze set which i don't have you don't have it no get it it's it's a little different like the color like i love them they look good are they that much different than the original ones [00:09:25] Speaker 2: what is that oh yeah 230 it'll slide off pull it can can you get the turtles too packed down [00:09:35] Speaker 3: is it really that much different to me that's what i was like i looked at it as like oh well they use the same bodies and it's just like redecos of the original ones the secret of the ooze set that white box right there [00:09:49] Speaker 1: yep [00:09:49] Speaker 3: can you get the cat one from channel six i was just looking at that now i'm good [00:09:59] Speaker 2: it's got all the guys in it though it's really good it's got the whole i think it's got the whole uh studio set up oh it does yeah like the news channel oh that's why i wanted it thank you [00:10:16] Speaker 3: oh yeah they put the spots on them yeah oh geez oh yeah the ooze came with the splinter that i have [00:10:36] Speaker 2: can we just see the cat woman one too i mean since you're up there i mean since you're up there [00:10:47] Speaker 1: probably probably tonight yeah [00:10:51] Speaker 3: is it open again oh it's a closed box i don't think so oh no it's got a good panel oh so it's all the tuned ones yeah it's got the whole news yeah see all the cameras and stuff that's why i wanted it that's cool when did april turn into a cat it was an episode didn't uh didn't uh didn't uh didn't uh didn't uh didn't uh didn't uh didn't uh didn't this guy come with uh the green van the news channel van or blue van [00:11:29] Speaker 2: and i he didn't come with it he was his own figure april the news channel april came with that oh really yeah he's in like a blue suit i mean you you do collect this entire line i do and they're about to release two aprils from this movie too they are yeah i talked to her you already have you already have uh keno [00:12:07] Speaker 3: i do all right since you took the ladder out i'll take it [00:12:11] Speaker 2: okay okay yeah you have to make a build a figure do you have to like tool it differently [00:12:19] Speaker 3: well i just have a tool to make sure it comes apart [00:12:23] Speaker 2: yeah easy for a novice to put together yeah because it's like [00:12:28] Speaker 5: you know build the figures figures don't usually have butterfly joints because you can't make the arm come out of the butterfly joint [00:12:37] Speaker 3: um so it's usually bigger guys so the articulation is a little more basic for bigger guys [00:12:47] Speaker 4: we're only running one half of of max capacities here because this table is duplicated on the other side so when we know it's going to be big a new drop or a new series or something like that bobby has some some uh tried and tested guys who will come in to help out who's been here a lot longer than i have and everybody's no one aspect of it is rocket science compared to the rest but everybody's better at some things than others so basically we just get set up where we're best and we have basically usually there's one guy who's cutting open boxes and making sure we're not out of anything in the room then we have two guys who are actually pulling the items needed for an order and we have two guys who are boxing and then one or two up here at the computer where they're actually doing the the printing and the shipping and then uh one of those two is usually the ones moving it off to the loading dock so we can run what's that one two three four we can run seven strong when we know it's going to be a monster and that's usually a weekend kind of thing so uh is it an eight to five job usually but uh there also are a handful of weekends during the year where you just know it's gonna be a big weekend and there are worse problems to have than hundreds and hundreds of orders to fill but usually that's hardly ever a surprise that's usually based on what just came out [00:14:14] Speaker 3: they're interesting um i definitely think they're they're very cool like i like that they made them you know i was just talking about glossy figures but the fact that they made them glossy is kind of cool and you know it comes with the the hologram and that's a really well done hologram i think these are cool i think did you buy them i didn't buy them um that's surprising because you love that line and you like those yeah but it's it's not like i see and it's like oh man i need that like no it's it's they're cool i just the wolverine is really good my marvel yeah the classic one yeah my marvel i don't really collect much marvel so it's you know black suit spider-man all right but no i i what i find really interesting is that you have a mattel line look in a hasbro package so it's like this original line was mattel's line and now hasbro is using the same exact line look and it's now hasbro that to [00:15:14] Speaker 4: me is like the cool part about it so we haven't had this before but it actually fits two full-size figures a little better so they're not i want to say rattling around because we don't let anything rattle around but usually you're stuffing it like crazy this guy over here is kind of our bread and butter but now this is perfect for three full-size figures so say a desert condor a desert steel brigade and a colonel siege these are perfect in here and you can nest smaller stuff weapons packs and upgrade packs in there too but that's kind of max capacity here but this guy's great for a single or a double so if you just have siege and sidewinder he'll go in the 12x9x4 so it's you know sometimes there's a little bit of a price break when you're shipping a smaller box uh but more of the advantage is you can fit more onto the cart fit more onto the pallet and so and anything that's that fits the product well you can say tightly because tightly is bad but anything that fits the product well is better for it all told uh shipping and damage because it's a worse thing when someone orders something pays for it you fulfill it and it gets there and it gets damaged all the way so we try to make sure when we package stuff up that there's no packaging damage that's our fault we take care of your toys you should be able to get them in presentable condition i thought i heard starfox [00:16:41] Speaker 1: not bad you spent more on president's cards [00:16:48] Speaker 3: that's kind of funny thanks again for watching see you on the next one that's awesome this is actually maybe a good one to get he would like that especially because he has the um [00:17:03] Speaker 2: the like little bus that shoots bam
