Final tally for the Hello Kitty TMNT toys. Got half, no full sets, no Michelangelo, they really wanted me to have Donatello. So now I get to chase the other 6.

Part of it, yeah. The main piece is there, but not the top part in this image.
Tyler James (@tjomega.bsky.social) reply parent
The Engine-Oh G12 waist piece that attaches to Bus-On
Tyler James (@tjomega.bsky.social) reply parent
It's a part off of Kishamoth that becomes the waist armor that attaches to Bus-on. Nothing structural but it does make the final combination look off.
Tyler James (@tjomega.bsky.social) reply parent
The seller's not been great at responses, I asked if he could replace the part but all he's offering is a tiny refund. I think he bought the piece used and didn't notice the part was missing.
Tyler James (@tjomega.bsky.social) reply parent
Most of the others work fine. Jetras doesn't have any damage to the contacts, so I don't think it was a leak. Unfortunately there's a stripped screw so I can't get it open to ID the break.
Tyler James (@tjomega.bsky.social)
I wanted to load next week with reviews of the Go-Onger toys, but the seller missed a piece for G12, several of the Engine Souls are glitched, and one (Jetras) doesn't work at all. So now I'm not sure if covering them would be right if I can't present them completely.

Let's go for a deep cut! It's 2001. Car Robots failed to correct the downward slide of Transformers in Japan, so Takara went with something new, and if it had taken off, Transformers may have been shelved for good. This is Denno Bokenki Webdiver. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ateu...

I'd vote for 9 but I like the retro titles so I'm bias. Also if that's how you describe Squall, that's hilarious. Also ironic. Square said the character Payne from 10-2 was designed to be a female take on Squall.

As someone who's been at this online entertainer thing a long time, that never really ends, you're always evolving what you do. Don't beat yourself up over it, it's good to have the passion to improve. Just make sure you always enjoy it, the most important thing we want to watch is you having fun.

After your ordeal, it's a natural reaction. Once trust is broken, it's hard to trust the world again, that part of your brain that doesn't want to get hurt again gets loud. It's good you're at least trying to find that trust again. It'll get easier, and it'll be worth it when things feel right again

No, never, I might be the one collector that hates that thing. It's like having a roommate taking up space without paying rent.

Recently I pulled the trigger on something huge I've been wanting for a long time. Prefect scenario, and essentially my last chance to get it. If it's all intact on arrival, it's going to consume a lot of my videos the first week of September. I could go on, but I'd rather let you guess.

Yes everyone, I've seen that Blokees is doing a Scyther kit. It's very exciting, my favorite Pokémon has never had a proper articulated figure before. There's also no US distribution for this toyline and importing things to the US is getting harder, I am NOT going to enjoy getting one.

They rolled that out on me months ago and it was horrible. I only found out YouTube did it because I went to make a trim in an upload and wouldn't let me because it had autodub on it.

Can't say completely cause the Pteradactyl isn't out yet, but the only ream compromise over the original is the tip of the t-rex tail doesn't fold down. Everything else is cosmetic, less paint and deco. Actually has some articulation over the original.

And on a day I took off so I could have watched no less! Started to worry there.
Tyler James (@tjomega.bsky.social) reply parent
This is horrendous... I don't have words for how upset I am that she put you through so much, but I can say I'm very happy you're still with us. You're a good person who deserves the best people around you, I know you have them, I know they'd never get over it if they lost you. Much love Radia.
Tyler James (@tjomega.bsky.social) reply parent
I know my friends will continue, still have their spaces, still trust the ones who deserve it, and Radia has the love and support she deserves. If I take away anything, it's seeing the community rally behind someone who deserves it, and act quickly to remove a threat. Scarred, but resilient.
Tyler James (@tjomega.bsky.social) reply parent
My heart bleeds for Radia, what she went through is horrifying and her victimizer should never be in the Vtubing space again, or frankly trusted by a living being ever again. I also hurt for my friends who have to read yet another Google doc to find out who their friend really is.
Tyler James (@tjomega.bsky.social) reply parent
I hate seeing my friends go through this, over and over. I keep wondering why anyone would be capable of hurting their supposed friends the way I've seen. The caregiver in me wishes I could just hug everyone hurt by such events, but my arms aren't big enough for everyone affected.
Tyler James (@tjomega.bsky.social) reply parent
More than once now I've seen what happens when my friends have to remove people from those spaces, and it can be horrific. Yes, there's a sense of connection and community, but when that's betrayed, it leaves deep scars, and a fallout as if a bomb fell.
Tyler James (@tjomega.bsky.social)
Part of why I wanted to become a Vtuber was the sense of connection I saw among creators. Watching friends create their own spaces for their friends to play in. It reminded me of when I started YouTubing when it was all simpler, we were in it together, trying to legitimize a new artform.
Tyler James (@tjomega.bsky.social)
In hindsight, taking a working vacation and jumping right back into the crazy schedule I keep was not a wise choice. Should have at least taken off a week of streaming after I got back.
Tyler James (@tjomega.bsky.social)
So I got 86 Megatron and the legs are absolutely gray with a tint of blue that certain lighting or cameras would definitely exaggerate. I'm sure they'll run the mold again with color adjustments but it doesn't bother me enough in person to upgrade.

So I almost got taken out by a flying potato monster on Saturday. Fortunately a mad scientist and an evil Power Ranger took the hit for me. (Seriously, shoutout to @kaijubigbattel.bsky.social and the performers for Cube, Potato, and Ranger for managing this spot while keeping me safe.)

Obviously had to go back to Acme Superstore. Got the one RID toy I never got before, the Flywheels-coded Blitzwing, and the Botcon 96 dealer exclusive version of Onyx Primal. Incredibly rare and a third of the price it should have been.
