REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

00:00:03.580 --> 00:00:11.520
Hey guys, what's up? Welcome to another video *dab dab dab dab dab dab dab  Mhhhhhhhhhh

00:00:11.600 --> 00:00:12.860
(7th most handsome man of 2017, ladies and gents)

00:00:12.980 --> 00:00:13.960
I'm sick

00:00:13.960 --> 00:00:21.560
Which is okay, because I wanted to make this chill video for quite some time showing off my figurine collection

00:00:21.700 --> 00:00:24.620
Yes, that's right. Who doesn't want to know about my

00:00:24.620 --> 00:00:25.740
*????????????

00:00:25.740 --> 00:00:30.700
Manchild hobby? Who doesn't care about toys. I know you do

00:00:30.700 --> 00:00:32.940
HHMmmmMmm!?

00:00:32.940 --> 00:00:34.140
Hmmm MMMmmmmmmm

00:00:34.140 --> 00:00:39.060
...Mmm. for real, uh you may have seen in the in the back

00:00:39.240 --> 00:00:43.680
I usually have some figurines there, and I got a lot of questions about them, so now

00:00:43.700 --> 00:00:50.940
I'm going to tell you and start off right away with the ones I typically have: the Kawz figurines

00:00:50.940 --> 00:00:51.740
Badupbadup

00:00:51.740 --> 00:00:52.940
Ba Da Bup!

00:00:52.940 --> 00:00:54.309
Dabuuuduppbup

00:00:54.309 --> 00:00:55.660
buh dup babowww

00:00:55.660 --> 00:00:57.930
got got all three of them, baby

00:00:58.480 --> 00:01:01.139
Marzia my **lovely** girlfriend gave me these for my birthday

00:01:01.690 --> 00:01:05.339
I'm very happy with these. These are probably one of my favorite

00:01:05.339 --> 00:01:10.228
and that's why they just look so good. Now Kawz is an incredible artist..

00:01:10.228 --> 00:01:11.140
I... Uhh..

00:01:11.140 --> 00:01:13.290
I've been following his stuff for a couple years

00:01:14.229 --> 00:01:17.969
These sort of figurines would go for like 50 bucks(50$) back in the day

00:01:17.969 --> 00:01:22.400
And I think now they these just one range from like $200 to

00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:22.900
(only $399, pewds?)

00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:29.140
500 maybe I don't know. it's insane how popular they become they've sort of became a hypebeast

00:01:30.060 --> 00:01:32.080
Symbol almost which is really strange

00:01:32.100 --> 00:01:35.129
I got this Kawz tattoo you a couple years back

00:01:35.619 --> 00:01:40.828
A one-in of one of his figurines my favorite one which I actually don't own. It's fine

00:01:40.828 --> 00:01:41.820
I haven't I have the tattoo

00:01:41.820 --> 00:01:46.480
I don't need that... and I saw it in the background of like a DJ Khaled video

00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:50.260
And I just cringe so hard maybe it's unfair for me to judge

00:01:50.860 --> 00:01:53.069
DJ Khaled's opinion on art

00:01:53.110 --> 00:01:56.249
But I just I think a lot of people just want these

00:01:56.439 --> 00:02:02.879
For the not for the sake of the artist and the artwork just because they're... they're a symbol now. They've sort of become a symbol of

00:02:03.430 --> 00:02:10.989
The hypebeast culture we it's a shame because I think Kawz the artist has a really interesting history. He started off as a

00:02:11.720 --> 00:02:14.470
Graffiti artist just scribbling on top of ads

00:02:15.140 --> 00:02:17.440
in New York City super cool stuff

00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:23.979
but then I think he got promoted a lot by really big celebrities like Kanye West and

00:02:24.890 --> 00:02:26.840
Pharrell Williams and

00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:31.209
DJ Khaled, and I guess me now if you want to get one of these

00:02:31.819 --> 00:02:35.169
I recommend watching out for fake ones

00:02:35.810 --> 00:02:37.810
Make sure that the bottom has

00:02:38.209 --> 00:02:43.569
Medicom TOI China, so it's signed if it's really cheap, it's probably fake

00:02:43.569 --> 00:02:48.219
I've seen a lot of these go for like 20 bucks on eBay. It's fake. You don't want to get fake stuff

00:02:48.260 --> 00:02:52.299
That's not cool. I love this one this so this is the version that has the intestine

00:02:52.880 --> 00:02:58.749
exposed and the why I rub that so essentially it's a the Mickey Mouse undead version

00:02:58.749 --> 00:03:02.520
I don't know. I don't know what it is to be honest. This is an amazing piece of art

00:03:02.520 --> 00:03:08.380
Let's put them on the show. I mean come on. They look great. They look great

00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:10.960
next one you probably haven't seen

00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:13.320
It's a figurine

00:03:13.320 --> 00:03:19.860
Custom-made from Japan. I bought it in this store called Mandarake (Mandarake Mon) which is in Tokyo Shibuya?

00:03:20.620 --> 00:03:23.760
they sell a lot of custom toys and figurines and

00:03:24.500 --> 00:03:27.519
Vintage toys as well, I thought this was a vintage toy

00:03:28.579 --> 00:03:33.549
Marzia gave me this one as well, so Marzia paid for half of these my head screws. It's..

00:03:34.300 --> 00:03:36.300
It can move its leg

00:03:36.860 --> 00:03:42.620
This one is from KIKKAKE toy. They do different versions of these like different colors

00:03:43.460 --> 00:03:48.380
Different stuff like that. I think they are about 23,000 yen, which is like

00:03:48.520 --> 00:03:51.960
$215 or pounds which is a bit expensive?

00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:59.799
Yes, but I always like to get one of these from Mandarake when I go to Japan as a memory of that trip

00:03:59.799 --> 00:04:01.929
And it's worth it like I know

00:04:02.480 --> 00:04:09.130
For some people it might be outrageous to spend that amount of money on a figurine, but I'm I'm very pleased with it

00:04:09.260 --> 00:04:12.980
It's a fine piece of art, and I would never get rid of it.

00:04:12.980 --> 00:04:13.650
Another...

00:04:13.650 --> 00:04:16.340
Collectible type of figurine is this brick bear

00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:23.560
You've probably seen these they do a ton of different variations of these. This is the Mount Fuji version

00:04:23.570 --> 00:04:28.939
It's very cool. It's another thing I bought because I wanted to get a memory from another Japan trip

00:04:28.940 --> 00:04:33.200
I've been five times now, and it never gets dull. I know it's kind of a...

00:04:33.230 --> 00:04:36.169
*"sexy" voice* He's a dweeb. He just loves Japan, but how can you not?

00:04:36.169 --> 00:04:37.320
It's so much fun. Every time I go

00:04:37.320 --> 00:04:42.889
and I want to get a memory of a figurine so I got this one this one is probably like 50 bucks 20

00:04:42.889 --> 00:04:48.500
Bucks some variations of these I swear like a thousand or five thousand they're insane

00:04:48.500 --> 00:04:53.880
I probably wouldn't get more of these even though they're... You can technically collect like a bunch of different ones

00:04:54.500 --> 00:04:55.000
(Who turned off the lights?? Hold meh!)

00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:56.510
It's a bit too simple for me

00:04:56.510 --> 00:05:00.890
I don't I don't really see the mass appeal of these to be honest as much as I do with the Kawz

00:05:01.020 --> 00:05:03.020
This feels more like a collectible

00:05:03.900 --> 00:05:07.609
figurine toy. Kawz's work seems more like

00:05:08.280 --> 00:05:12.740
Artwork to me at least that's how I see it.

00:05:12.740 --> 00:05:14.940
And speaking of which another gift from Marzia *timid chuckle*

00:05:15.300 --> 00:05:16.720
I'm paying for (OOF dog?)

00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:19.200
a Gary Baseman porcelain

00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:22.100
figurine careful not to drop this

00:05:22.880 --> 00:05:24.620
extremely detailed

00:05:24.620 --> 00:05:27.820
Extremely beautiful. This is number...

00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:31.200
224 out of I think 815

00:05:31.200 --> 00:05:34.094
I think this one is like 500 pounds.

00:05:34.094 --> 00:05:41.179
Pretty expensive , but it's made together with a porcelain company Lladro. I love this art

00:05:41.180 --> 00:05:45.739
I love Gary Baseman's art. He's another very underrated artist

00:05:45.740 --> 00:05:50.750
I would say compared to Kawz definitely check him out if you want to get some like cheaper

00:05:50.750 --> 00:05:56.500
But still really cool figurines. This one is more expensive because it's a special edition, but I love this one

00:05:56.520 --> 00:06:00.500
I just realized he has the eye that actually looks like that tattoo that I have

00:06:01.320 --> 00:06:05.160
Hey, I got tattoos of my figurines how about that?

00:06:05.160 --> 00:06:07.060
Gary Baseman does just like Kawz?

00:06:07.320 --> 00:06:11.479
Incredible piece of art and paintings I mean, but then he got into 3d art

00:06:11.479 --> 00:06:15.529
And I think that's where he really shines. I think this sort of stuff is just so cool

00:06:16.080 --> 00:06:21.020
Again, this feels more like an art piece of art, then then a figurine or something like that.

00:06:21.240 --> 00:06:22.080
I don't know

00:06:22.120 --> 00:06:25.480
Next up we have--very proud of this one!

00:06:25.880 --> 00:06:31.940
It's Gundam of Zhu ku, I don't watch Gundam, I just loved building them

00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:34.919
I don't know if that's a shameful thing to admit or not

00:06:34.919 --> 00:06:39.419
But typically I would say building models so basically I built this myself

00:06:39.520 --> 00:06:41.380
Just putting all the pieces together

00:06:41.380 --> 00:06:46.049
You have to build the skeleton and then from all the exterior it took me a couple days at least

00:06:46.060 --> 00:06:49.380
it's not very well, built because

00:06:49.620 --> 00:06:55.060
Pieces tend to fall off. I'm gonna try to be careful, but like it can go into rocket mode so we can

00:06:55.920 --> 00:06:59.820
pull all these off, and then this should come off as well.

00:06:59.960 --> 00:07:01.300
Does anyone care about this??

00:07:01.300 --> 00:07:05.100
I care so shut up. You can open up the helmet you can take off the

00:07:05.280 --> 00:07:07.380
*Pewds breaking stuff*

00:07:08.020 --> 00:07:11.660
You can take off the the thing and then move this up

00:07:11.660 --> 00:07:15.520
and you got a little dude sitting there, and he can go into his power mode and

00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:16.300
*Power mode initiated*

00:07:16.700 --> 00:07:18.580
There you go look at that

00:07:19.600 --> 00:07:20.100
*OOF*

00:07:20.100 --> 00:07:25.440
I think is like every single piece of this are just bits put together

00:07:25.620 --> 00:07:29.240
So you're not really I guess unless you glue it

00:07:30.100 --> 00:07:35.939
You're not really supposed to fiddle with it and has so many goddamn moving parts. It's ridiculous

00:07:35.940 --> 00:07:39.929
I'm not making a great case for this, I... This is the only piece I broke, okay? Shut up

00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:44.190
Someone's gonna make a 20 minute video explaining what I did wrong as a response

00:07:44.360 --> 00:07:48.760
Listen! I'm proud of this be quiet. There you go. Look. he's fine.

00:07:48.860 --> 00:07:49.600
He's fine

00:07:50.080 --> 00:07:53.140
Zaku is fine. Anyway, I would love to build more of these

00:07:53.500 --> 00:07:59.339
This is a perfect grade version, which means it's one to sixteen scale if you want to get one

00:07:59.340 --> 00:08:02.480
I think this is like 150 bucks, but you can get a smaller version

00:08:03.060 --> 00:08:10.160
I think like I said, I think building models is kind of lame (nice try, Pewds. Nice try), but just because they're so well designed these... so cool

00:08:10.180 --> 00:08:13.420
It's like you get a cheaper really cool figurine.

00:08:13.420 --> 00:08:16.580
Next up, we have this Godzilla figurine. Yes!

00:08:16.860 --> 00:08:19.340
this is actually just a toy.

00:08:19.340 --> 00:08:20.760
Uhm, for kids

00:08:20.840 --> 00:08:22.040
I love Godzilla

00:08:22.040 --> 00:08:28.120
I mean how can you not love Godzilla? You have a country that gets... that goes through two of the most horrific

00:08:28.180 --> 00:08:33.200
Bombing of history and then out comes this metaphorical

00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:34.919
figure

00:08:34.919 --> 00:08:36.430
That is just so badass

00:08:36.430 --> 00:08:41.100
but what I love most about this thing is that a lot of people come over and they look at this and

00:08:41.140 --> 00:08:45.080
If you move the legs, it does that! and it pokes their eye out

00:08:45.910 --> 00:08:47.230
It's hilarious

00:08:47.230 --> 00:08:51.340
Next up is another figurine for my second trip to Japan

00:08:51.700 --> 00:08:59.340
Mandarake again; it's a custom toy. I love this one. I have no idea where it's from I don't know what its referencing, but

00:08:59.880 --> 00:09:02.160
Illuminati, amairite? Look at that

00:09:02.460 --> 00:09:03.760
I love how

00:09:03.760 --> 00:09:08.399
asymmetric it is.Like all the detail it really feels like it's... it's

00:09:08.680 --> 00:09:12.089
Personally just hand-drawn and made which I think is really cool.

00:09:12.190 --> 00:09:18.630
obviously, that's not the case. That would cost I think a lot more, but I think it also has some Nazi symbols on it  (Noooooo)

00:09:18.630 --> 00:09:24.660
Which is a bit strange... and these titties? I just realized. But it's probably the Buddhism, but for the sake of ad revenue

00:09:24.660 --> 00:09:26.440
I'm gonna put this one away now

00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:27.460
Thank you

00:09:27.460 --> 00:09:35.160
Remember what I said about the fake Kawz you gotta be careful because this was gifted to me as well. This is another gift

00:09:35.160 --> 00:09:36.300
...and

00:09:36.300 --> 00:09:42.200
It's fake. It has no sign at the bottom, the plastic feels kind of cheap,

00:09:42.480 --> 00:09:45.060
It's kind of squiggly

00:09:45.070 --> 00:09:47.070
Like you hear that?  *clacking and clicking*

00:09:47.170 --> 00:09:53.219
Which is a shame, because I love this art. I love this figurine. I'm not okay with art theft

00:09:53.300 --> 00:09:58.840
I'm very strongly against it, but since it was a gift it can't be helped

00:09:59.180 --> 00:10:04.020
It's a shame, but I still love it. It's still it's still a nice gift

00:10:04.020 --> 00:10:08.340
I can't...  I'm still very happy with it, but yeah, be careful if you're buying

00:10:08.620 --> 00:10:12.440
Figurines to make sure you don't don't get fake ones.

00:10:12.440 --> 00:10:15.120
My third trip to Japan, I got this bad boy

00:10:15.300 --> 00:10:17.300
Mandarake as well

00:10:17.520 --> 00:10:22.040
So cool. I thought this was a vintage toy when I bought it

00:10:22.050 --> 00:10:28.740
But it's a it's a custom made from Japanese symbols. I don't know what they are. I love the scarf detail

00:10:28.740 --> 00:10:31.109
I guess it's some sort of desert monster

00:10:31.109 --> 00:10:36.140
It's like a scorpion or something like that turning to a... I don't know. it's very cool

00:10:36.140 --> 00:10:38.000
That's all I know: it's very cool.

00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:38.880
Come on.

00:10:38.880 --> 00:10:42.380
Got another original fake Kawz figurine

00:10:42.380 --> 00:10:44.380
I love the design of this one

00:10:44.740 --> 00:10:48.440
This one is real. I feel like they... Kawz literally

00:10:48.440 --> 00:10:54.640
was like since these figurines got so popular. He was all just like you guys would literally buy anything

00:10:54.640 --> 00:10:55.500
I put out

00:10:55.500 --> 00:11:00.120
You know I can-- I can just mess up the figurine you guys will literally still buy it and

00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:01.040
Lo and behold!!

00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:05.260
This is worth hundreds of dollars. I love... it's still incredibly...

00:11:05.340 --> 00:11:10.040
Well-designed for being just a mess and it stands up fine like

00:11:11.040 --> 00:11:12.090
it's

00:11:12.090 --> 00:11:18.470
It's really cool. I really love it even though it's kind of kind of a statement. I feel like against

00:11:19.050 --> 00:11:23.899
Against the consumers or its movement I suppose now from my latest trip in Japan

00:11:23.900 --> 00:11:29.780
I didn't pick up any thing from Mandarake. I did buy this Blame! figurine

00:11:29.800 --> 00:11:34.080
It's Killy. Blame! of course, he is the best manga of all time

00:11:34.160 --> 00:11:38.700
It's a shame the anime wasn't that great, but at least you get some cool figurines out of it

00:11:38.720 --> 00:11:43.420
And I'm very happy to finally own some Blame! merchandise, or

00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:44.400
blam

00:11:44.520 --> 00:11:49.400
I also got the Safeguard which is hilarious if you want to pose it I

00:11:49.400 --> 00:11:50.000
*pewds amusing self*

00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:54.400
I don't think this is how this toy was intended, but it's very cool

00:11:54.400 --> 00:11:59.700
I didn't particularly like the Safeguard design in the.. in the anime, but the figurine looks really cool, actually.

00:11:59.860 --> 00:12:02.960
I also got this, you probably saw in my blog

00:12:03.420 --> 00:12:05.580
It's not a Gundam. I'm such an idiot

00:12:05.580 --> 00:12:11.720
It was in the Gundam section of the store, so that's why I got confused and everything is in another language

00:12:12.080 --> 00:12:18.280
But it's really cool. It's got the little guy on top which is dope. I can open up here

00:12:18.280 --> 00:12:23.680
And I think there's a guy in there as well. Yeah, it is so it is kind of a it's like a mecha

00:12:23.780 --> 00:12:25.640
The eyes lit up as well

00:12:25.640 --> 00:12:30.890
Which is pretty dope. Very happy with it, nevertheless. Even though it wasn't what I wanted.

00:12:30.890 --> 00:12:37.620
I also got this golden Gundam, which is so cool. I built this as soon as I got home

00:12:37.860 --> 00:12:40.960
It looks so sick. This is like 20 bucks

00:12:41.180 --> 00:12:43.480
Amazing. How cool is that? Come on.

00:12:43.490 --> 00:12:48.140
I don't know. Just a quick show, because I realized I probably have been going on for quite a while

00:12:48.140 --> 00:12:50.540
I think the back comes out

00:12:52.260 --> 00:12:55.580
Yeah, it does. I guess this is like his wings or some

00:12:55.860 --> 00:12:59.380
So cool. Drink (water, kids) every time I say "so cool" in this video

00:12:59.380 --> 00:13:01.160
LAST, BUT NOT LEAST!

00:13:02.620 --> 00:13:04.060
Tadaaaaaaaa

00:13:04.060 --> 00:13:09.839
My favourite figurine. It's not a figurine you can probably tell that it's Gary Baseman, again

00:13:09.860 --> 00:13:13.500
I have a Gary Baseman tattoo as well, actually. I love his art

00:13:13.820 --> 00:13:17.600
This is like his... his Icon figure, Toby.

00:13:17.600 --> 00:13:22.140
And he sold this... I think I saw a tweet or something that he's selling these and I was like

00:13:22.220 --> 00:13:23.620
WHATAMIGONNADOOOOO???

00:13:24.060 --> 00:13:26.260
I don't think I bought anything that quickly.

00:13:26.260 --> 00:13:29.340
I got number 94 out of a hundred.

00:13:29.340 --> 00:13:32.320
I'm so happy I got one of these. It's incredible

00:13:32.460 --> 00:13:34.300
I don't know how much this is worth

00:13:34.300 --> 00:13:40.529
Like I feel like this would be worth a lot at this point, 'cuz Toby is like his main figurine. This is so cool

00:13:40.589 --> 00:13:44.219
I usually don't like plushies and stuff. I guess it's not a plushie, but

00:13:44.769 --> 00:13:47.880
It stands up, because of his tail

00:13:47.880 --> 00:13:48.869
I love the art

00:13:48.870 --> 00:13:52.469
It reminds me of Monkey Bone. If you've seen that movie. It feels like a

00:13:53.200 --> 00:13:55.200
Like a cursed item that you buy

00:13:55.200 --> 00:13:56.860
*giggles*

00:13:56.860 --> 00:14:00.180
You buy somewhere and then your whole life gets messed up

00:14:00.310 --> 00:14:02.020
Just like mine did.

00:14:02.020 --> 00:14:05.940
So dope! And that concludes my figurine collection.

00:14:05.940 --> 00:14:07.109
Which one was your favorite?

00:14:07.260 --> 00:14:10.500
Let me know. Do you collect figurines as well? Let me know.

00:14:10.500 --> 00:14:12.480
I hope I will feel less sick tomorrow

00:14:12.900 --> 00:14:17.120
I think I have a little bit of fever, so it kind of makes sense to do a shill video

00:14:17.130 --> 00:14:20.969
I hope you enjoyed it, please leave a thumbs up if you do I would really appreciate it a lot

00:14:20.970 --> 00:14:23.730
That's it for me for now. Have a great one. Goodbye

00:14:23.730 --> 00:14:25.730
