Great discussion, dude. Love these sit down Saturday talks. Definitely praying for the folks that are dealing with health and death over this. At the end of the day that is more important than if I get a new figure. Hopefully they and their economy will recover and everyone can get back to business as usual 🤘😁🤘
This is one of those times when production delays don't stop me getting my fix: I don't open my figures as soon as they arrive. I still have several figures awaiting my enjoyment.
Like you said, the one big takeaway here is for the time being, just be smart about your health and do not worry about exposure to the NCV unless you have risk factors that would put you in contact with it (travel to China, contact with someone who has been there or has the NCV.) It is always a good idea to practice good hygiene, and it is more important than ever to do so during the cold and flu season, regardless of new viruses. Also keep in mind, people are dying of this so it is okay to delay our toys for the sake of those at risk, as much as we all hate to wait.
In all honesty, I wouldn't mind not having any figures being put out this year if it meant that people were keeping safe. I don't want a toy to be the reason a factory worker dies. If it means a child gets to see their father again, let them take all the time they need.
Nothing pisses me off more then seeing the people on the FB groups and TFW forums bitching about people being sick and dying delaying their plastic crack. Some people really need to get their moral priorities straight.
Love this! I think you have a new title, Dr. Skullface! It’s great that you took the time to discuss this on a video. It is an important item that fans are asking about and I applaud you talking about it! Thanks for the video, and I hope everyone out there stays safe and healthy.
Great video full of information. Thumbnail looked like Unicron for a minute and that clip of the guy putting on the mask when the lady was coughing......🤣🤣🤣 I lost it when he looked at the camera 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Incredibly informative as always. Much appreciated. It's absolutely affecting everything. I work in the financial industry as a loan officer and we are already seeing negative down slopes for the coming future.
Thank you for addressing this issue. I was hoping someone would cover this for us collectors. Before this I was spraying and wiping down my all my shipments as a “just in case scenario”. Thanks again Skully! 👍🏻
thank you addressing how deadly the flu can be. people should always practice good hygiene, especially during flu season. and especially if you have small children or live/work with the elderly.
I think I was one of the people talking about the money and time sacrifices, but I definitely did watch the video. I think I touched on it but the one thing I'm not willing to sacrifice is: Does this piece look good to me? If the answer is no, I don't buy it (the only thing I currently collect is MP Transformers, coming from collecting guitars, a collection where my collecting rules were pretty different).I do think I mentioned that I feel grateful that I started collecting only a few months ago because at this point there has been what I feel is a fantastic representation of every character I need that from; so I have to make very few sacrifices to get what I want. For instance, articulation, accessories, and transformation all matter very little to me if I enjoy looking at it. But that leads to the things I was talking about sacrificing, which is primarily money. Because most of the figures I think look best are out of print or completely unavailable for some other reason, so I HAVE to pay a premium to get the one thing I will not sacrifice: The best looking representation on my shelf.
Interesting. I am in Singapore right now, where we are bracing for a sharp increase in the number of cases (currently at 32 in a small city state). I do think that any talk of 'back to business as usual' for any time in February is really optimistic. I suspect its going to get worse for a few more weeks still and people wont be back at work and trade flowing again until March at the earliest. I also think that surrounding countries - like Vietnam - are going to get hit. Over here, you cant find a single face mask on a shelf anywhere.
Is that a rammstein hoodie? If so nice, btw this Kung flu has got me paranoid about people sneezing , but I’ve been worried about ordering from China but thanks for enlightening me that the virus doesn’t last long on surfaces. Good looking out.
Wow! Thank you for this video! Definitely extremely helpful information. I get alot of stuff from Show store z and I was worried if I should continue, or continued to buy from Tfsource or Chosen Prime or Bbts. I really appreciate this video since I was completely baffled. I thought of maybe using gloves to open the package but than i was like the toys are made there too! Maybe washing everything with detergents that kill 99%. Now I know am A OKay! Thank you!
I hate to get political here but. We need things to " Made In America" again. I don't like being dependent on other countries. Food clothes supplies and TOYS.
THEWATCHERISLOOKING That's not being political. That's just being smart. I completely agree. We should be self reliant in energy, economy, and production. It's great to have relationships with other countries but we cannot continue to be dependent upon them. There are far too many alternatives and resources in our own country.
A kid in a school that is directly infrint of my house in the uk might have it as he came into contact with the only known person who has it in my home city. Also I have a cold right now. Coincidence, I dno
I wanna get Power Baser but I don't know if I should. Was gonna buy directly from their site and Fanshobby is in Taiwan. I think so it's at least not in the mainland, but I don't know where they get their stock from. There are reports that the virus originated from Pangolins though which is a total wtf, why are they eating an endangered species in the first place? Rhetoric question I know lol.
Maybe I should finish watching this video 1st before I make a full post… but I want/have to say something here. (1) My heart & prayers go out to everybody that’s involved. It’s a HORRIBLE situation, & I want the best for everyone. Be safe. (2) I used to radio, so I’ve been doing a lot of reading on this. You can’t trust the #’s that they put out because they’re boiled down. I used to work in radio, I’m used to checked the facts that I see/read/hear because just because of the fact that they tell you something doesn’t mean that it’s correct. (a) Since the middle of last month, the communist government has purposely restricted the production & delivery of medical kits able to detect the Corona virus with the whole intent of saving face. Why would they do that you ask? If they can hide the amount of kits being used (meaning a lower # versus a higher # spent) they can make it look like things aren’t as bad as they are. The # of deaths varies depending on source that you use from the Chinese government. I’ve seen several reports where as of a few days ago the death toll has ranged from 25,000 to 154,000. But which 1 is an accurate #, & the actual truth? I have nothing to prove this… but I’ve heard that the government is starting to shoot people in various areas that they suspect that are infected rather than treat them. The reason for that is that (a) They’re no longer infectious & need treatment because they’re dead… & (b) instead of labeling them as a virus victim… they can label them as a shooting casualty. So it’s a way of fudging the #’s. (3) I personally don’t trust much what of what comes out of the WHO. The reason why is that they’re heavily invested in biological warfare technology. Stage 3 & 4 bioengineering labs. Though Hollywood-ised… very much like the underground bases in Resident Evil. Or at least that concept. What usually happens & the tie-in here is that they 1st create a biological agent as a means of warfare. Once they have something that works, they often reverse engineer that virus to make a vaccine. In this case with the WHO… it’s all about the $$$. Because they can make $$$ off the vaccines via tax $$$ or government bailouts from a virus that was meant for warfare & keep drinking from the trough. Create the problem & also have the solution the Bayer lawsuit back in 2000-02 is a good example of that. That’s why a few days ago… I can’t think of the guy’s name at the moment… but he’s 1 of the big honcho’s at the WHO… went to visit & see President Ji. It was meant to make a public appearance & to also protect their finical investments. (4) I’d suggest reading some of the current papers published by Francis Boyle (he was the guy that wrote our current bio-ethics & conduct laws), & the piece that Jeffery Lyons Weilder (or Wleider… I forget his last name) just put out. I don’t know how easy it will be to find the actual papers online because Google has been removing things on the grounds that they say that they are either ‘xenophobic/homophobic.’ But JLW did have an online interview with “Live Wire” talking about what he saw when looking at the RNA chain from the samples that they are able to get infected people with the virus not from/in China. That should still be on here on TH-cam. Haven't bothered to check. I don’t know if you remember, but various organizations where asking the Chinese government for possible samples so that they could start working on maybe making a vaccine maybe 2 weeks ago, & the Chinese government completely refused. And the reason why is that they didn’t want a secret out. From what I have read & have seen… I know that this strain is a man made virus. At 1st I wasn’t sure if it was a mutated strain of a disease like SARS… where they were trying to make a vaccine… but they made it lethal & it escaped. But looking at this paper & looking at the little bit that I did see… this virus has very much been spliced Jurassic Park style. It might have started off as 1 thing, but had been edited several X’s. It has the SARS virus in it, the common flu, & elements of the HIV virus in it. It isn't HIV... but it uses the same genetics for replication/delivery like how HIV reproduces. That's why they've been using HIV drugs on Corona victims as treatment. Before I got into radio, I was working on getting a BA in microbiology in zoology. Though genetics is not my thing, I am familiar with Crisper technology. Which is what it looks like they used to edit this chain. Most bacteria & viruses are pretty much just a RNA chain wrapped in a protein shell… but looking at the paper I could see PEC’s (or Pshuttle) sequences used to edit the cells together. For a lack of a better description, what a PEC is an protein chain used similar to glue to combine the other parts of the DNA/RNA together when they normally wouldn't merge together. It’s very much like looking at a piece of old fashioned film where it’s been spliced & a piece of film has been taken out, & taped back together again. If you know what your looking for... you can see the markers. From what it looks like, this was something designed for warfare, & it got out 12 monkeys style. I don’t want to rant or make your head hurt… but look into this. “Interesting” stuff. I just want to mention this because I’ve been looking into it, & there’s a lot of stuff that’s going on with it that they’re not talking about. I had to throw my hat into the ring… Thanks for the vid Bob!
Hey man, this seems pretty tone-deaf. No sympathy for the Chinese people who've been making our toys and suffering (and dying) the most from this? They are still human beings. You have a platform here, and you can use it to direct people on how they can help positively with the response to the outbreak and the people in China, such as donating to charities like Direct Relief.
A bit [Dramatic] maybe Francis.. This is A Toy channel. Not that ya don't have an agreeable point or two. Although NOTE: @13:55 - Even though he did only mentioned "Hong Kong". _____ Bottom Line, We don't necessarily know What is going on over their in China! An for people _like Skullface_ to just repeat Fake ABC News synopses (SMH)., when there's Plenty of possibly credible info to the contrary. Especially when it comes to Death & infected tallying. Never mind *the fact that China's only Level 4 Pathogen / Bio-Lab is less than 30mnts from where "they claim" the outbreak originated.*
@@icemanff23 Do you know how many people are in China? Do you know what the GDP per capita of China is? It's less than $9000. Per person. China is poorer than Mexico. Despite what you might think of them, they are still human beings. One day, something tragic might happen to you, your family, and your country. Is this what you would want people to say of you?
@@francischang how they treated the Hong Kong people is no excuse what so ever. A peaceful country and yet they want to control all for that matter. Yes there are innocent people there in china, maybe so but still i dont live in such country that releases this problem among their citizens and has it spread throughout the world. I lost all respect for china after living there for a year. So they had it coming what they did to the world and what they are continuing with the problem in HK. I know alot of TF and other toy manufacturers will suffer cause of this but it at least makes people aware we should do our business elsewhere since this is going to cripple the world imports on products from china now just toys. We should seek other opportunity to get someone else to manufacture our products.
Great discussion, dude. Love these sit down Saturday talks.
Definitely praying for the folks that are dealing with health and death over this. At the end of the day that is more important than if I get a new figure. Hopefully they and their economy will recover and everyone can get back to business as usual 🤘😁🤘

As a healthcare provider, I just want to say thank you for using your platform to help get valuable information about this virus out to the public.

Very interesting. Thank you very much for the video.
Good vid. It contained a few things that I didn't think of (I was mostly thinking about it spreading to NA via packages).
Love that Busta Rhymes reference.
thank you addressing how deadly the flu can be. people should always practice good hygiene, especially during flu season. and especially if you have small children or live/work with the elderly.
Intro alone had me rolling!!!!
Very informative and well researched! Thank you!
An excellent political and economic perspective on how recent events is affecting our beloved toy companies in China.
Important conversations are always worth having.
It's the cruise ship scenarios that are really scary!
