Another advantage of having the MvM robots as statues is that their faces and the way their joints move look more accurate to a robot as opposed to making a plastic figurine human. Damn a full set of these would have been cool, although robot Medic’s wheel probably would have been awkward to stand up without a base
As a nerd who's a vintage electronics collector, I would advise against leaving batteries in after they die, they could potentially cause corrosion if left in too long, and damaged, I'd take them out, and just avoid putting new ones in unless for a special occasion or something. Side note, I'd totally pose them to be fighting the NECA figures on a shelf MVM boss style.
I really hope 3A comes back with these figures at a cheaper price and slightly updated designs. Even if it means downscaling their size, these figures look so cool and would be great to have on a shelf.
What nicely made gigantic robots! It'd be a shame if someone were to... hire a team of 6 to destroy them in attempt to protect a facility with a perfectly bomb shaped weak spot.
Maybe the boxes being boring is actually like, the point. Perhaps it's intended to emulate the rather dull look of boxes used for shipping machinery parts.
Worth noting is that the Pyro Robot has its own in-game item. If you purchased the double pack of the Pyro (red and blue) you would get a Genuine Nabler, possibly the most expensive promotional item to obtain first hand
I’ve wanted these figures for so long, even before I started collecting figures. Never actually knew they were 1/6 scale. Could pose them with Dante and Vergil from Devil May Cry 5… if I could find ones that weren’t way over priced
there's rarely youtubers who make content about a specific topic (including plenty of TF2 youtubers) with genuine passion and you're definitely one who can('t unless you also own the 3A Zepheniah Ghost statue, every prototype mold in circulation of the TF2 NECA figures and the non-existing Blue Spy, Scout and Medic of the same line :^) )
I think that a thing with these are that making good looking action figures of humans is way harder than action figures of robots because robots are segmented which is why these look more accurate.

I was actually scared that my pyro was a ko because of how hard the batteries were to get in. Glad to hear it’s a common issue! I ended up cutting the spring slightly to get them in easier and that worked very well.
I noticed the Gordon Freeman/Chell figures on your shelf, and as a Half-Life/Portal nerd, I'd love to see a video talking about those and/or any other Half-Life Universe merch you might have!
The great thing about the Opera GX ad is, I've already been using this browser for at least 2 years now. Even for watching this video. Needless to say, its great :)
The tf2heavy robot was the first collectors item I saved up for back in 2015, it was crazy b3cuade that was out of my 5 pounds a week pocket money put of many years of saving 😳 still worth it
@@CottonBunn I know I am, quite sad really how they didn't produce any more becuase it would have been neat to have a pyro as well or even any of the other classes
I'm planning to get a 2-pack set of the RED and BLU heavy by the end of the year and I suggest getting several sizes of figure stands for almost anything 1/6 scale, I promise they will allow you to have the most fun making dynamic poses with these guys
where do you plan on getting these? I have a store here where I have found multiple still sealed in box of red and blue, pyro and heavy, but I can't find a genuine price point online to see how much they're worth
Do you have a private place to talk into? I would also like my own pyros. As for usual price points, if it's under 300USD it's nice and if under 200, must get. The ones I'm getting are from Japan, someone's warehouse stuff
@@thedarkabyss100 they were all $300USD except for the opened pyro which was $100USD. They also had 1 peabody and 1 atlas unopened figure, but I'm not sure how much they were asking on those
I have a local cardshop that has multiple blue and red, heavy and pyro 3a mvm figures. almost every one is unopened and they're priced at $300/piece, with one of they pyros being opened and priced at $100. I can't find anything online to prove what they're actually worth
Where did you get the buff banner thing? My school banned backpacks (because they’re too big) and we use satchels now, and I’d like to get that one particularly
This idea may sound dumb, but i think it'll be cool... the tf2 mercs, vs the blitz brigade mercs?? Maybeeee?? If you think you can make it happen, pls do so- make any proper adjustments you need
If they make a sniper bot. It better be aiming directly at the sky.

Damn a full set of these would have been cool, although robot Medic’s wheel probably would have been awkward to stand up without a base
For scout, I'd imagine they'd include a can of bonk in the pre-order.
if the medic got a statue the wheel would be probably flat without the option to spin
Or it could be made to be immobile
never thought about that

when i look up 3a i get phones so idk who this 3a is
@kingofthecow oh, I had no idea. that sucks.
@@lebreadman9454 who are you?
Really wished they had produced more TF2 figures. It's ridiculous how expensive a lot of these are due to how limited they are
I can imagine how cool stop motion animation would be with these guys
What nicely made gigantic robots! It'd be a shame if someone were to... hire a team of 6 to destroy them in attempt to protect a facility with a perfectly bomb shaped weak spot.
Do you mean a team of 9?
@@fireblade7542 Team of six. MvM doesn't allow more than six players, but I get the point you were trying to make.
at this point, a tour of your TF2 merch collection would be a pretty cool video to see!

Why here tho
3:45 now that’s what I call HEAVY weapon
These figurines cost a kidney and a half
Good thing I have spare ones in fridge
3:45 presenting the new heavy unlock
The Gun
4:46 I love how you can literally just boop pyro and make his eyes light up!
Nice, let’s see somebody do some gmod animation style thing with these!
Reason why there are some random spots of articulation on pyro because well it’s a bit obvious because in game they constantly shake
the small explosion when you pushed the dispenser plush away made me do the ugliest laugh
I was actually scared that my pyro was a ko because of how hard the batteries were to get in. Glad to hear it’s a common issue! I ended up cutting the spring slightly to get them in easier and that worked very well.
My pyro is also the red version
8:43 i thought my cat was having a fight outside my window, damn
I love that image of red heavy holding an overside minigun
Great use of Concrete Man music! Always wondered how these figures were. Looks great!
6:56 Space Station 13 soundbyte. Probably some random free soundbyte but that's where I've heard it hundreds of times.
it's funny how the boxes are plain since they're supposed to be mass produced and shipped as a product
Really cool video! I don’t have much tf2 merch, just the puzzle. That buff banner looks amazing!
It’s 150 dollars
I was lucky enough to find a red heavy bot on ebay for 70 dollars complete with everything thanks to your video man love your content
Bro this makes me want to try and get my hands on one, i absolutely love tf2 and the robot heavy is my favourite design of all the robots.
Oh I have that buff banner bag! It's really nice and I've been using it for years, holds a decent amount of stuff in it too
These 2 are truly awesome, most TF2 merch is just garbage but they are super cool.
jealous of the Archimedes and buff banner
I noticed the Gordon Freeman/Chell figures on your shelf, and as a Half-Life/Portal nerd, I'd love to see a video talking about those and/or any other Half-Life Universe merch you might have!
I NEED ONE OF THOSE DEESPENSERS
If they made another figure. What robot class would you want made?
Hrm. Good question. I think either Engineer or Demo. But not for any particular reason.

@@CottonBunn I know I am, quite sad really how they didn't produce any more becuase it would have been neat to have a pyro as well or even any of the other classes
I also didn't even set out to get it, I just saw it and initially I thought it was made out of metal which surely would have explained the pricing 🥲
the scout robot was made to be an action figure, shame he never got to become a robot figure :(
I enjoy Watching SquimJim After BREAKFAST
You could use a hair dryer to help loosen up some of those joints
WHY HAVE I NEVER HEARD OF THESE BEFORE???
His wallet: why do I hear boss battle music?
Very cool figures with a very nice video
Instructions unclear made a robot army that’s powered by money
i rlly want a number 1 sniper mug now
3A makes some gud stuf. One of these years I'm going to start hunting for a Sandvich figure in earnest.
Man, I'm so effin thankful I was somehow able to snag that robot Pyro figure FOR RETAIL PRICE in mid 2021
am i the only one who thinks the dispenser sounds like Cartman from south park
I guess
bruh it caught me off guard when I saw the robot heavys minigun on the human heavy
woah its really the heavy!!

@@thedarkabyss100 no, only for their mtg and yugioh cards. The store is Through The Decades in Louisville, KY
Kinda funny how the robot has more articulation then the actual normal figure
3:46 Yes, I Like This Gun
The dispenser kinda sounds like engineer if he was a south park character
I think a really cool video idea would be playing the old console versions of TF2 and seeing how they compare.
"I'm not sure why you'd want to bend it at the chest"
You just hurt both action figure collectors AND SFM artists
I would definitely buy either of these if they were still available more commonly
I have the red version of the heavy and it looks so good (despite wrong team color),
Shoutout to the guy who sold you the Pyro figure
Watch after breakfast during breakfast
I wish they made the normal versions but smaller

ah man I wish I had that sniper mug
there is a way to fix the tight joints on the heavy figure
These are kickass figures, would love some of em myself.
Imagine the the stuff you could buy if yo7 sold the ingame heavy cosmetic because yo7 could sell it for whatever and basically set the price.
If they make sniper bot it better have torso spinning using batteries
I wanted these so badly and then I saw how much they went for.
I would have loved if they made a robo demoman figure
i wish they will make a full new lineup of the mvm robots mercenaries . they so expensive now .
i was checking amazon for the pyro robot figure but couldn’t find it - nathan olivares
Holy hell I wish I had all of these :0
I didnt even know fhese existed, damm
Planning on doing a full collection vid or are you waiting til you have literally every piece of tf2 merch ever made
Fun fact: these aren’t action figures,but they are small inactivate robots
This idea may sound dumb, but i think it'll be cool... the tf2 mercs, vs the blitz brigade mercs?? Maybeeee??
If you think you can make it happen, pls do so- make any proper adjustments you need
I’m surprised you got your hands on some.
how many were actually made of each figure? not very much info on these online
this was made one day after my b-day
you said the robot heavy was friendly?
R O B O T H O O V Y
Oh shit, new SquimJim vid.
i almost got a red robo-pyro figure but someone bid last min
I’m actually planning on buying one soon. Let me know which one I should buy
where did you find the buff banner bag I realy want it
Aksualy i hate in robots these 360 movements of their chests but these are nerfed
(i hope)
ROBOTS?!!
you may make a stopt motion?
*Bombaclut*
Tell squib to make a sausage
Aw, you cut the intro short :(
I'm jealous of your collection 😅
