    Such an unbelievable missed opportunity this channel was, man. These videos were so, so good, and they performed way better than similar videos in the scene. And here we are, going on 4 years since anything dropped. I don't know anything about the creator, but if you see this, I hope you're well. And if you ever come back, I think you'll be greeted with open arms.

      Came here to post that, didn't have to. That would have been the best alteration since Nia Jax's mkII of the 'I'm Not Like Most Girls' shirt for men.
      Originally it was a men's shirt declaring the wearer not to be like most girls, anatomically accurate if a little redundant, but the glorious revised version said simply:
      "I'm Not Like Most"
      That is so brilliant I'm blinded just writing about it.
      _"Ooh, check this guy! He marches to the beat of his own drum"_
      _"How can you tell?"_
      _"Just read his shirt - it says he's not like most."_

    Man I remember getting the Cell and being so confused when I took it out of the box. I went back to Toys R Us and tried to explain mine was missing the roof and wanted to exchange it (I was probably only in the 7th or 8th grade at the time) and I looked through all the boxes on the shelf to find none of them had a roof! I was so bummed as a kid, I wanted that Cell so bad!

  • @SpiralPoliFemboy
    @SpiralPoliFemboy Před 3 lety +3

    The Chinese New Year figures could be easily fixed.
    Just rip some arms off of regular RA Figures (preferably from doubles of figures you already have) and put em on Grenier, Dupree and Reigns.
    And then you have the original figures.

I remember the disappointment I had when it didn't have a roof and I remember constantly looking at the box then the set up and back at the box. But being 9 years old I just dealt with it because 1. I didn't really know better about being duped just dealt with the fact it was what it was and 2. I just assumed it was a Cage Match set up and instead just treated as a Cage Match instead of a hell in a cell.
