I’d say McFarlane’s high price tag on the joker set is far less controversial than NECA outright threatening their customers in violation of federal law for their own mistake of shipping doubles to people.
Agreed. Todd is just doing what they all are. Seeing what he can get away with. Neca gone crazy. They could have just made a friendly post asking if people would be kind enough to send it back, possibly for a reward. They'd have gotten some laughs, but none of this rightly deserved backlash. 😬😬
yeah but robo always avoids saying anything bad about Neca or super7, especially super7. I love the channel and hes mostly a silver lining kinda guy in general but definitely seems biased towards some companies. but to have a toy news channel and not bring it up at all for two rewinds since 1st email, idk.
Robo, I’d be over the moon to watch you customize a figure. I’ve often wanted to see someone show how they customize a figure from beginning to end. So from one of your “Knowbots,” please follow through!
Damn Robo, with all that toy goodness you’re talking about, why can I not pay attention now cuz I’m singing , “🎶Baby, if you’ve ever wondered…wondered whatever became of me. I'm living on the air in Cincinnati…Cincinnati, WKRP. 🎶” [And thank you.] ✌🏾➕✊🏾
I literally teared up seeing my business card in your video! Thank you and it was such an awesome honor and pleasure to meet you and chat (multiple times). Thank you for your time!!!
oof. my knee popped when i swiveled in my chair to see the look on wolverines face during that segment... you'd think marvel and hasbro, and the like, would figure out who they're marketing to by now!!
I think that process of customizing would be nice. Its a learning process for alot of people.. making mistakes is a part of that, and learning out to correct those mistakes would be nice? I think atleast, cheers Robo.
Such a great time meeting you at legions Con brother Robo! Definitely one of the highlights of that event. We would love to have you on the podcast, sometime soon, let us know if you’d be into that 💎💎💎💎. Love this recap!
I fell out of love with the Spider-Gwen comics _very_ quickly, but I still love the design, and when I first saw the Gwenom design on covers I was blown away. A lot of Venomised looks feel kinda phoned in or predictable, but Gwenom looks so much more unique with the tongue hoodie thing. I might just grab that figure to go with my Agent Venom (even though I don't think these two have ever met even outside of in these looks), it just looks so cool!
As a community, it would benefit collectors to remember that the entire concept of "price gouging" is predicated by necessity. Fuel, food, medicine and medical services. Toys and collectibles do NOT fall under this umbrella. Robo, on the topic of you doing customizing tutorial content. This is the one topic I have long felt was missing from the Robo-Universe. Yours would be my first Patreon subscription if I knew content like that was hiding behind that paywall.
Robo is getting out the oven gloves again for that flocked figure 😂❤ Dam Robo that octave drop when you said " worlds greatest detective" 😮 ...though about voice acting ?
Most of my excitement here is for the edgerunners figures, been dying for good cyberpunk figures for years. PRAYING for Adam Smasher and maybe Faraday, just hoping they give it the same treatment as street fighter and fill out the entire roster
WB trying to make back money they lost on Joker Part Deux. 😂 It makes you wonder why they are in the film business anyway if they don’t want to license stuff. That’s where the real money is.
Those Space zombies mars figures look pretty interesting! I really enjoy your updates and the humor such as Starscream with Megatron in his hands lol! Always some funny tidbit lol! $250 for that McFarlane set? Wtf is he smoking? Old Retodd at it again
“…cause I’m Robo” AD BREAK “and this here’s the Rewind.”😅 YT has some crazy timing for ads. The Joker movie made me question my own sanity and I’ll be damned if I watch the second one. A Deniro figure and a talk show set would be cool, but that price is nuts. Have a great Thanksgiving week Robo and everyone. I plan to open a ton of figures I’m behind on.
Oooo Robo ended the weekly on controversy. I'll be passing on that set but damn, that Bob DeNiro looks great. Hey Robo I'd love to see more of 'the process' in your play day videos. I wouldn't find it tedious at all. Just my opinion tho.
9:42 okay Robo, i'm trusting you on this. rofl I just confirmed the Sentinel preorder you done convinced me there, I don't want after market prices. better to get a locked in "Free" pre order
Respect for the Nanny love, recently got a 32mm model 3D printed to go with my Marvel Crisis Protocol-scaled X-Men collection. Thank you to the 3D modelers out there for making deep cut characters that are never going to see official releases.
I would 1000% love process videos from you. Its nice to see the "imperfection customizing" compared to some customizers that only show the high points. As someone with zero painting skill, its nice to feel like "hey, maybe i *can* do this!" And see how your process works, warts and all
hey robo i was curious if on your next play day you could show what the new marvel legends deadpool and wolverine wolverine figure would look like with the original shoulders with the legacy logans arms that way you still get the shoulder pad and the sleeves at the shoulders
I definitely want to see that Nanny video. I've been thinking about how to make Nanny and Orphan Maker customs for awhile now, and i thought about getting another MODOK from Ollie's just for his limbs fir Nanny, but that's as far as I got, and I'm really interested in seeing what you're doing with her
Do a livestream of your process. People love having creative process videos playing in the background while they're doing their own creative work/customs. You don't have to edit anything because mistakes/learnings are part of the appeal of watching such videos.
Recently Amazing Yamaguchi has done new versions of the original figures they released (Deadpool, Spiderman, Venom) so that means once that new Gwen passes we can almost sertanly have a new Carnage figure, Excellent.
Todd openly said at NYCC that he knew fans would be upset at the Joker 2-Pack. Like, he basically begged people to understand that it wasnt a fun situation for the Multiverse team and the price would suck. It really feels like they wanted to do a 2 pack with diorama for around 100-125 (30 for Joker, 22 for Murray, around 60-70 for the playset with my rough math based on current Multiverse prices) and WB came in with "250 minimum", since any other Joker merchandise is baseline $250 for statues and hot toys. It sucks cause, as you said, McF is really good about keeping prices consistent. 22 for a single pack, 25 for a BAF, 30 for a collector's edition. This seems like an annoying "we want to do this but have these restrictions our liscence holder wont let us work around."
Wish the same could be said about the 40k line. The prices have been far from consistent. Started at 30, climbed to 40 with the World Eater and Space Wolf wave (bastards! my favorite legions), same goes for the retools. Space Marine 2 figs are 45-50$... as heavy reused molds with some retooling. Hell the Terminator is a big hollow mega fig with less plastic than a standard 30-40$ space marine but twice the price.
When it comes to the Joker set I was interested in it until I saw the price. I think I will just build my own. I like how Robo explained the price. WB tried to price them out of making it and McFarlane called their bluff.
I was interested in that joker set until I saw the price. It would of been a perfect set for a space ghost display lol. For that price though, I could just make my own for way cheaper lol.
Really hoping the mezco figure can just have the sleeves cut off and strill have a muscle sculpt underneath. Would make it really easy to just make it the sleeveless version, even if it is destructive
The way I interpreted the statement from McFarlane for the Joker set is that because the set represents a particular moment in the movie (where a person gets shot in the head on live TV) no retailer was gonna carry it, that means a lower production run, which means not as much a discount from the factory because lower production run = higher price. McFarlane maybe put in the order for half or maybe less than what he would normally would therefore the higher price.
I think mezco could've done a sleeveless arms set for wolverine, either just the arms or a whole different torso, maybe even a bit more battle damaged, they have a belt to hide it like the mr fantastic
Yeah, the thing with the Joker set is that WB wants to treat those movies as "elevated", the stuff that wins Oscars and awards, not your average superhero movie, so they're demanding just the deluxe treatment for that franchise (a ridiculous thing considering The Dark Knight is also an Oscar winning movie, and they still market the hell out of it). Hopefully they won't pull this nonsense with the Mafex Phoenix Joker. NGL I'm disappointed since I personally was really looking forward for a Lady Gaga Harley Quinn figure, but now it seems like a distant wish
Just to put this on Robo’s radar, there is a new comic out by Image’s Ghost Machine label called Rook Exodus and if these aren’t the most toyetic designs ever made I will eat my hat. The designs are by Jason Fabok and one of them really reminds me of the alternate Classified Road Pig Armored Boar helmet. The comic is written by Geoff Johns and the helmet gimmick in the book reminds me a lot of Mask. Check it out if you get a chance.
Highlight of my Saturday every week! I personally sold off my 2 Haslab Sentinels and used the funds to buy 4 X-Men 97 Sentinels. They’re definitely closer to my mind’s eye version of comic Sentinels! That Claremont/Byrne run on X-Men is still unmatched IMO
Hi, Robo...always love the show. Can we get a link to the custom stuff for Nanny? And if you have any links ideas for Orphanmaker? I've been struggling with finding good material for my customs for these...
Hey Robo, hopefilly you see this! I have a customizing question! What product do you use to prevent paint rub from soft pvc to hard plastic? I have a figure that keeps transferring paint from the soft parts to the harder parts. I have some ideas but dont want to apply anything that will make the soft parts sticky
I’d say McFarlane’s high price tag on the joker set is far less controversial than NECA outright threatening their customers in violation of federal law for their own mistake of shipping doubles to people.
Seriously? At that point I’d just double down and say I never received either figure lol
Agreed. Todd is just doing what they all are. Seeing what he can get away with. Neca gone crazy. They could have just made a friendly post asking if people would be kind enough to send it back, possibly for a reward. They'd have gotten some laughs, but none of this rightly deserved backlash. 😬😬
Hasbro sent me 2 Kang w/ throne. 😂 kinda figure they will be at Ollie’s soon
yeah but robo always avoids saying anything bad about Neca or super7, especially super7. I love the channel and hes mostly a silver lining kinda guy in general but definitely seems biased towards some companies. but to have a toy news channel and not bring it up at all for two rewinds since 1st email, idk.
This channel wouldn't dare mention that
Those retro astronauts would look killer with cosmic legions .
Man makes contact .
Robo, I’d be over the moon to watch you customize a figure. I’ve often wanted to see someone show how they customize a figure from beginning to end. So from one of your “Knowbots,” please follow through!
YESSS!!! Please Robo
I'd also really like to see robo do a full on start to finish customisation of a figure :)
Damn Robo, with all that toy goodness you’re talking about, why can I not pay attention now cuz I’m singing , “🎶Baby, if you’ve ever wondered…wondered whatever became of me. I'm living on the air in Cincinnati…Cincinnati, WKRP. 🎶” [And thank you.] ✌🏾➕✊🏾
"I thought they could fly...." 🦃
Favorite pastime is sitting in my bed on a cold, rainy day and watching robo not knowing
I hope they make a yellow astronaut. It would work pretty good for an MCU Stan Lee when he's with the Watchers.
Or Among Us customs?
Dang I can’t to see that Nanny finished. Also, Robo always has the best Tshirts!
A whole video on your customizing process would be pure awesomeness.
I literally teared up seeing my business card in your video! Thank you and it was such an awesome honor and pleasure to meet you and chat (multiple times). Thank you for your time!!!
oof. my knee popped when i swiveled in my chair to see the look on wolverines face during that segment... you'd think marvel and hasbro, and the like, would figure out who they're marketing to by now!!
After all that, all I have to say is...DAMN, I LOVE 😍THAT SHIRT!
LES NESSMAN 4-EVA!
Robo's "Weekly Rewind", ALL is right with the world!
"Coronation, Starscream? This is bad comedy"
Definitely show us the whole customization process. That would be great to see!
If mcfarlane had to charge $250, why couldn't they have packed it to the brim to make the price worth it.
I think that process of customizing would be nice. Its a learning process for alot of people.. making mistakes is a part of that, and learning out to correct those mistakes would be nice? I think atleast, cheers Robo.
$250 is crazy.
That zombie in space thing... Ugh... YES!!!!!
I saw those DBlakeMakes signs! He's such a great guy!
Such a great time meeting you at legions Con brother Robo! Definitely one of the highlights of that event. We would love to have you on the podcast, sometime soon, let us know if you’d be into that 💎💎💎💎. Love this recap!
Breakfast on the table, energy drink at my side--time to sit down for my Saturday morning Robo
I loved that episode of wkrp! Laughed so hard it hurt!
Definitely do the whole process, mistakes too. Craftsman shows his trial and errors and it makes for great videos.
I fell out of love with the Spider-Gwen comics _very_ quickly, but I still love the design, and when I first saw the Gwenom design on covers I was blown away. A lot of Venomised looks feel kinda phoned in or predictable, but Gwenom looks so much more unique with the tongue hoodie thing.
I might just grab that figure to go with my Agent Venom (even though I don't think these two have ever met even outside of in these looks), it just looks so cool!

Robo, on the topic of you doing customizing tutorial content. This is the one topic I have long felt was missing from the Robo-Universe. Yours would be my first Patreon subscription if I knew content like that was hiding behind that paywall.
Loved the new intro always like looking at customs
Robo is getting out the oven gloves again for that flocked figure 😂❤
Dam Robo that octave drop when you said " worlds greatest detective" 😮 ...though about voice acting ?
Plleeeeeaaaassse do a Nanny video! I want to see more on how you customize!
Love the play day teaser at the beginning haha!!
It's only one Robo and there's only ever gonna be one Robo!!!
Glad to hear your voice is back! haha
Oh, and that Joker set is just laughably overpriced.
Most of my excitement here is for the edgerunners figures, been dying for good cyberpunk figures for years. PRAYING for Adam Smasher and maybe Faraday, just hoping they give it the same treatment as street fighter and fill out the entire roster
Man I swear WB is freaking allergic to money.
It would almost be worth getting that Mcfarlane Joker set just to do a head swap or customization on that Dezero figure 😆
even hot toys has taken this long to make the joker
WB trying to make back money they lost on Joker Part Deux. 😂
It makes you wonder why they are in the film business anyway if they don’t want to license stuff. That’s where the real money is.
WKRP tee shirt 😍
I really recommend you taking a look at the cyberpunk edgerunners anime, it's only 12 episodes long and id absolutely fantastic
I dig the Mezco wolverine with the masked head
Those Space zombies mars figures look pretty interesting!
I really enjoy your updates and the humor such as Starscream with Megatron in his hands lol! Always some funny tidbit lol!
$250 for that McFarlane set? Wtf is he smoking? Old Retodd at it again
Honestly I’d kill for an Anime Adam Smasher…
“…cause I’m Robo” AD BREAK “and this here’s the Rewind.”😅 YT has some crazy timing for ads. The Joker movie made me question my own sanity and I’ll be damned if I watch the second one. A Deniro figure and a talk show set would be cool, but that price is nuts. Have a great Thanksgiving week Robo and everyone. I plan to open a ton of figures I’m behind on.
Oooo Robo ended the weekly on controversy.
I'll be passing on that set but damn, that Bob DeNiro looks great.
Hey Robo I'd love to see more of 'the process' in your play day videos. I wouldn't find it tedious at all. Just my opinion tho.
For those of you who've just tuned in, the Pinedale Shopping Mall has just been bombed with live turkeys. Film at eleven.
More customizing videos? Yes, please!
Hey Robo somebody needs to tell Herb Turkeys can't fly!!! 😅🤣😆
I'd be down for a "How Robo do the things he do" video, I love getting ideas from that kind of thing
That is one awesome shirt! One the hunt for one now!
Love the t-shirt.
9:42 okay Robo, i'm trusting you on this. rofl
I just confirmed the Sentinel preorder you done convinced me there, I don't want after market prices. better to get a locked in "Free" pre order
Thank you😊
Respect for the Nanny love, recently got a 32mm model 3D printed to go with my Marvel Crisis Protocol-scaled X-Men collection.
Thank you to the 3D modelers out there for making deep cut characters that are never going to see official releases.
You gotta watch the Edgerunners Anime Robo!
bonus up for the WKRP turkey drop shirt!
I would 1000% love process videos from you. Its nice to see the "imperfection customizing" compared to some customizers that only show the high points.
As someone with zero painting skill, its nice to feel like "hey, maybe i *can* do this!" And see how your process works, warts and all
I'd love to see you make Nanny
Thank you Robo :)
That wolverine suit, with the sleeves cut on a tb league body would be awesome!
Always excited to see your customs! Excited for that Captain Britain👀
hey robo i was curious if on your next play day you could show what the new marvel legends deadpool and wolverine wolverine figure would look like with the original shoulders with the legacy logans arms that way you still get the shoulder pad and the sleeves at the shoulders
Thanks Robo! Congrats on finally finding a Nanny.
I definitely want to see that Nanny video. I've been thinking about how to make Nanny and Orphan Maker customs for awhile now, and i thought about getting another MODOK from Ollie's just for his limbs fir Nanny, but that's as far as I got, and I'm really interested in seeing what you're doing with her

Play day here we come 🔥🔥🔥
The Hot Toys version of W&DP Wolverine has swappable sleeved and sleeveless arms.
Todd openly said at NYCC that he knew fans would be upset at the Joker 2-Pack. Like, he basically begged people to understand that it wasnt a fun situation for the Multiverse team and the price would suck.

WB is desperate to make back money they've lost after Joker 2 bombed
I'll pass on the Wolverine, as he's gonna be my First Hot Toys figure-
but god damn, fingures crossed we get a Mezco Brown & Tan. I'll get that quick
Next rewind, give some love to Zhi Park and Coal Dog/Death Gas Station, and their Mr. Silent release. The man is a mad genius.
When it comes to the Joker set I was interested in it until I saw the price.
I think I will just build my own. I like how Robo explained the price. WB tried to price them out of making it and McFarlane called their bluff.
And so it begins!
I was interested in that joker set until I saw the price. It would of been a perfect set for a space ghost display lol. For that price though, I could just make my own for way cheaper lol.
I'd love to see a video of your customized work the how to of it!
Hot toys is doing swappable arms with their wolverine and it's full fabric , so IT doesn't have to be FULL fabric for mezco
Would love to see your process on a full hasbro figure repaint
The price on that Joker set is BS.
Really hoping the mezco figure can just have the sleeves cut off and strill have a muscle sculpt underneath. Would make it really easy to just make it the sleeveless version, even if it is destructive
8:38…..
I think I’m gonna need one more
Just throwing it out there, but I'd love a see a Robo customizing video, mistakes and all. It's part of the process that's all.
The way I interpreted the statement from McFarlane for the Joker set is that because the set represents a particular moment in the movie (where a person gets shot in the head on live TV) no retailer was gonna carry it, that means a lower production run, which means not as much a discount from the factory because lower production run = higher price. McFarlane maybe put in the order for half or maybe less than what he would normally would therefore the higher price.
Robo swore! :o
I had no idea it was glow in the dark I want the chains for my Frankenstein
I think mezco could've done a sleeveless arms set for wolverine, either just the arms or a whole different torso, maybe even a bit more battle damaged, they have a belt to hide it like the mr fantastic
4 rows of seating for an audience and expanding the floor piece may have went over better than the prop stuff.
I'd call it a sintnil too and I'm from the pacific northwest!
Rural Ohioan here, I say Sentinel the same way that you do. Maybe it's just more of a rural thing.
Yeah, the thing with the Joker set is that WB wants to treat those movies as "elevated", the stuff that wins Oscars and awards, not your average superhero movie, so they're demanding just the deluxe treatment for that franchise (a ridiculous thing considering The Dark Knight is also an Oscar winning movie, and they still market the hell out of it). Hopefully they won't pull this nonsense with the Mafex Phoenix Joker. NGL I'm disappointed since I personally was really looking forward for a Lady Gaga Harley Quinn figure, but now it seems like a distant wish
Just got the Mars 4 Ultra still trying to figure it out😂😂😂
Waiting for cyber Monday to buy a Mars 5 ultra, hopefully it's not so difficult to print something.
@ I tried the king print but nothing turned out first print but get a usb cable for it
Just to put this on Robo’s radar, there is a new comic out by Image’s Ghost Machine label called Rook Exodus and if these aren’t the most toyetic designs ever made I will eat my hat.

I wonder if the Joker set would have made more sense as pre posed bookends or something
Brother, AY keeps on beating around the bush with random characters. Just give us GENOS and GAROU!!!
Hi, Robo...always love the show. Can we get a link to the custom stuff for Nanny? And if you have any links ideas for Orphanmaker? I've been struggling with finding good material for my customs for these...
👏🏽🔥👏🏽🔥
6 inch Hasbro DC Legends istg
You said "hidey-hole" .... :grins:
at the 6:15 mark, it cut to an add that song "What i like about you" that was a hell of a transition 😂
$295 for a two pack..they want the money for joker 2.
Hey Robo, hopefilly you see this! I have a customizing question! What product do you use to prevent paint rub from soft pvc to hard plastic?
I have a figure that keeps transferring paint from the soft parts to the harder parts.
I have some ideas but dont want to apply anything that will make the soft parts sticky
