Probably the best-looking paint job on an iron giant figure, the only complaint I have is the battery compartment and switch on the back, I really wish they could have found a way to hide that.
I love your videos! They inspired me to start doing toy photography. This video released on a great day because the iron giant is one of my dad’s favourite movies
@@sirdork730 I just got mine and the eyes are super bright, so maybe try new batteries on yours. The head is just on a ball joint that’s clear with a white led inside it.
This is an awesome figure. I have the gray “animated “ version that came out a few years ago. It is the same as this one with all the accessories. Great shot and video. It is definitely a W.
I have the original that comes with an S to put on his chest (like Superman) as well as a to-scale little Hogarth (the little kid that befriends the Iron Giant.) I've seen people use the tiny Fast and Furious house that can still be found in stores with the DS Iron Giant bc it scales nicely and makes Iron Giant look huge. Great video, Jared!
Hey Jared, love all the recent review videos! Would love to see another photoshop tips video soon!! I'm always fascinated by your workflow and would love to see a breakdown of the dodge tool, sharpening, sponge etc
Hey dude!! Thanks for always watching sharing and being mega supportive all the time 🙏 sounds like a good idea! Definitely something I should return to soon!!
My only issue with this figure was that after getting it, I noticed how limited the head is when it comes to looking up and down. I was also sad about the below 90 degree bend on the knee, but I still think it's worth getting especially with that price.
@@sirdork730 I know you were not asking me, but yes. Also Hogarth is magnetised as well as Iron Giant's shoulder, so it's possible to recreate the scenes with Hogarth sitting on IG's his shoulder. And Superman's symbol is a nice accessory too on that version. Now I need to buy both versions I guess 😅
Kinda wished I’d waited for this one. I bought an iron giant figure that was over 3x the price of this figure, granted it had dicast, and I still have no regrets with buying it a few years ago, cause this is one of my favorite movies of all time so having a figure is a must for me. seeing a figure that looks this good at this price tho makes me wanna think more before I buy haha
I've been eyeing on getting an Iron Giant Figure for a long time now. However, each one I found was way out of my price range. However, I may just pick this one up! :D
@@sirdork730 , it seems the only way I can get one is from the USA with a shipping cost that doubles the price for me here in the UK, plus custom clearance and import duties .
I have the ultimate hulk and abomination and damn, they are THICC boys and I love them. The the Mcfarlane batman/doomsday looks like their baby standing beside them.
Older release is honestly better, comes with the S chest emblem as well as a to-scale Hogarth that magnetically attaches to his shoulder and the colour's animation accurate. This version is perfect for a Ready Player One shelf
When i was kid my mom mistaken iron giant for transformers and that was the time she supported my intrests but i hope to get the and hopefully get big o diamond select 👍
It barely got any promotion either. Brad Bird tells a story of going around to cinemas while it was showing to find that they weren't displaying the posters and standees, apart from a single cinema he found them in where they were being displayed on the way OUT. Between that and the trailers which misrepresented the themes of the movie (I actually remember seeing it in the cinema as a 9 year old and liking it a lot, but being very surprised to find it was nothing like what the trailer suggested), the studio basically sank the film. Thankfully it became appreciated enough as a cult movie that it re-entered the cultural zeitgeist and is now as well respected as it should have been.
12:15, IMO, the shallow depth of field ruins the forced perspective and betrays this as miniature photography. Shooting with a higher f-stop, like f-16, or f-22 should bring the distant trees & lake into focus while keeping the foreground also in focus, giving the appearance of a much larger Iron Giant further away.
This figure Is just Perfect, I mean I wish It had more accesories, the "S" he puts on his chest where he pretends to be Superman, and an attack mode version, but overall, this figure looks so beautiful that I want to get one.
Animated films of that time period did REALLY bad because they were phasing out hand drawn animation. The new hype was CGI. Which is why this movie and others like Treasure Planet absolutely crashed in the box office. Everyone wanted more like toy story. And now that we have it, we want the old stuff back. Personally i want the diversity. Every animation style has its place
Hi love your videos ❤ KitbashCarnage hear at the age of 31 iv recently got back into the warhammer/kitbashing community agen after taking 15year brake to pay bills and so on . I have taken the leap head on and started a youtube channel along with Instagram, Facebook and Tiktok. It's hard with this algorithm thing is somthing to get used to along with editing and so on but my love and the flame for my lost passion has been reignited more then ever and dont plan on stopping soon . Along with having lots of content plans and already in the pipeline and also a Revamp to all social media with new header picture and profile picture from a digital contractor I sorced I hope to just gain more traction to the community iv came back to 🔥 Regards KitbashCarnage
Nah $30 for something that actually looks and feels like a premium collectible? That’s a steal imo- especially in this day and age
I couldn’t agree more!!
More like steel!
I grew up watching THE IRON GIANT, so this had to be a must🥔
Must 🥔

Oh wow perfect timing 😮 thanks so much for watching and supporting. It’s an honor to help get you into the wonderful world of toy photography!
Sold me on that figure for sure!
Awesome! Hope you love it!
If i could afford it. 😅
@@sirdork730 I just got mine and the eyes are super bright, so maybe try new batteries on yours. The head is just on a ball joint that’s clear with a white led inside it.
@@PlasticGeek yeah seems like some new batteries are needed! Thanks!
@@sirdork730 The figure is not available anymore! I am so upset I may have lost forever my chance to get one too!
He’s a definite W 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks dude!!!
I am Borneo in 1985 and I never heard about that movie. Which is crazy because I used to work in a Video rental.
Nice shot btw.!
This is an awesome figure. I have the gray “animated “ version that came out a few years ago. It is the same as this one with all the accessories. Great shot and video. It is definitely a W.
Much appreciated! Wish they both came with all the accessories 😂

I've been trying to look for this guy for a while, hope to get him soon!
Good luck on the hunt!
Awesome video man! I was on the fence about buying this figure. You sold me. 👍

Thank you Linda!!!
Great vid! I’ve got the non-metallic version of him!
Sweet!! This one comes with hogarth right??

@@GoblinFootball13 ahh I see! Dang it’d be nice to have all of the extras included in one figure instead of being split into two 😅
Artists of Diamond Select are the artists of the ToyBiz, old Mcfrlanes, old NECAs, that's why they're good!
This figure is so cool! You should also review the “iron giant 1000 toys” action figure!
I loved this movie when I was younger, and I still do! I really want this figure now! :D
This is going on my Christmas list!
I’m getting one of them
“the iron giant and a giant iron”
🤣🤣
Big W for this figure I wish it came with the Hogarth that the animated version came with.
Amazing video my friend!
I agree, would love it if it came with him. Thanks as always dude!
@sirdork730 absolutely dude lately you've been getting some really awesome figures broski 🔥
Man I’ve had the original matte gray release for years now and love it… but damn that silver paint job is beautiful
For 30 bucks, that thing will fit well in my 1/64 scale dioramas!
Heck yeah!
Easily the best diamond select figure 😂❤❤❤❤❤❤

Oh that one sounds pretty awesome though! What brand was the diecast one you bought?
Cant wait for the godzilla video bro. Also great review. And that picture is phenomenal!
Really appreciate it dude! Thanks for watching!
@sirdork730 thank you 🙏😃 and no problem
Dude I literally just got this!!!
It’s awesome right??
@@sirdork730 absolutely!
will buy for sure
I need to get this figure😮
Great video W sirdork
Thanks dude!
Awesome video!
Thanks so much for checking it out!
I've been eyeing on getting an Iron Giant Figure for a long time now. However, each one I found was way out of my price range. However, I may just pick this one up! :D
The iron giant is the best move to ever exist
It is definitely an awesome movie!!
Need immediately.
I have the one one with the Superman shield it’s such a great figure
Epic W
I think the eyes are dim because over time , even if you don’t use them , the battery power dies still .
So you should put in new batteries in there.
im 2010 but my parents put me this movie since I was young, I LOVED IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Figure of the year for sure
Have you looked into jada toys street fighter line those figures are amazing!
Today I realized that Iron Giant is a Dorito boy like Bay-verse Starscream.
This makes me wish for a Futurama Bender figure
I got that hulk and the red one, the marvel legends was too hard to get down here in Mexico
its going into my collection
Could you show the barbarian batman figure from McFarlane? , he looks really good and I'm sure that you gonna love it
It's a W for me at an affordable price I'll buy that for a dollar 😅
Oh man I missed the premier
I can't see the app that you get it on
There are links in the video description!
Are these available here in the UK where I live ?
I believe! If the Amazon link in the description doesn’t work for you, try bigbadtoystore.com 🙏
@@sirdork730 , it seems the only way I can get one is from the USA with a shipping cost that doubles the price for me here in the UK, plus custom clearance and import duties .
This isn’t a figure I ever thought I’d be after but count me in!
I have the ultimate hulk and abomination and damn, they are THICC boys and I love them. The the Mcfarlane batman/doomsday looks like their baby standing beside them.
Listen, I'm born in 2007, but I still watch the Iron Giant until this day, that will stay my no1 favourite movie of all time
Is it still available?
Yes!! I added a new link, because of some of the links sold out!
tinyurl.com/Irongiantbbts
I actually have this figure It’s amazing
Heck yeah!
I got this figure for just as much at the EXACT STORE!
@@itsnate6235 that is awesome!! Hope you love the figure!
dont know if youll see this but if you do i have a request for the NECA creature from the black lagoon it'll be sick for some photos
Is it waterproof

Please do Transformers 🎉😅😊
Nice vid.
Thanks! I did one a while back! But I plan on doing a new one very soon!
Transformers TOY PHOTOGRAPHY!

When i was kid my mom mistaken iron giant for transformers and that was the time she supported my intrests but i hope to get the and hopefully get big o diamond select 👍
You should make a stop motion
They also have a great captain America that’s a must get, maybe check it out!
Great to know!!
Iron Giant didn't get a lot of merch when it premiered.
It barely got any promotion either. Brad Bird tells a story of going around to cinemas while it was showing to find that they weren't displaying the posters and standees, apart from a single cinema he found them in where they were being displayed on the way OUT. Between that and the trailers which misrepresented the themes of the movie (I actually remember seeing it in the cinema as a 9 year old and liking it a lot, but being very surprised to find it was nothing like what the trailer suggested), the studio basically sank the film. Thankfully it became appreciated enough as a cult movie that it re-entered the cultural zeitgeist and is now as well respected as it should have been.
This kinda reminds me of the statue at the end of the movie
Oh wow yes! Don’t think of that!
Now that would be a great pose idea
12:15, IMO, the shallow depth of field ruins the forced perspective and betrays this as miniature photography. Shooting with a higher f-stop, like f-16, or f-22 should bring the distant trees & lake into focus while keeping the foreground also in focus, giving the appearance of a much larger Iron Giant further away.
Iron giant is my favorite movie
Send me a link to buy the iron giant figure. I really want it.
In the video description!
Can you get this in a store in canada
Maybe. I would say online is better. Stores tend to take bad care of items
A+
The iron giant is my favorite movie just sad that they never made a second
It’s a w however
They forgot the burger
I got an idea the iron tiny
I need it
Looks like caseoh but smaller
Bro I was saving but then I go check and it’s sold out😢😢
Force perspective techniques
EASY W!!!!!!
This figure Is just Perfect, I mean I wish It had more accesories, the "S" he puts on his chest where he pretends to be Superman, and an attack mode version, but overall, this figure looks so beautiful that I want to get one.
Why is the plastic tree more expensive than the figure? It's like a $100
What the trees were $7.99 🤣
You need to invest in a 3D printer where you can make ton of diorama stuff!
Imagine if they made a RPO Mechagodzilla figure to go along with it
W!
I don't know if this happened to anybody that got it, but when I got mine, his legs were loose after one day
W that is nice 👌
One of the figure that diamond select made is beta ray bill figure is better than marvel legends
That one is amazing
It sucks cause now I cant make the iron giant and sukuna fight without him looking small :( (btw The figure is sick as hell its just sad)
The glow was way brighter on mine if you want to see the difference I made a post about him on my channel with the glow on
Interesting! Maybe I need some new batteries

Hey dude! WOW that is so amazing to hear that your passion has been reignited! 🙏 I hope the fire continues to burn and you keep enjoying yourself!
Who else bought it instantly?
👇
It won’t let me get it idk why i really want it looks badass😢
The link you put for us i pressed it and it just showed me a 404 error page
Bug😮😮😮😮😮
The bug was such a cool thing! So glad I caught that 🤣
Have you ever gotten your figures or equipment stolen while photographing?
No actually! Never had to worry about that. I usually keep everything close by and in sight, and no one really approaches me much anymore 🤣
@@sirdork730man I would be terrified about losing stuff let alone that. You’re a brave man
I hope Diamond Select gives us a full battle mode version at some point. You can't release a sweet figure of the Iron Giant and not do that mode.
👍
Bro, I love you I am trying Eazy W bro easy W
Easy W! Thanks dude 😆
W
W rizz for iron Giant
Stop please
