Flashback's Funhouse

Who was the MOST annoying G1 character? Since I actually liked Wheelie, but the clear consensus seems to be most people didn't, I thought it would be fun to have a little poll of the internet's most complained about G1 characters to see who folks think is the most annoying. Not the TOYS, but the characters themselves! And if you think there is someone worse, go crazy in the comments! 😂

HALF PRICE? They're nearly HALF price now? I purchased both of these at full price. I guess I should have waited! But now they're 44% off on Amazon US. I might just go ahead and get the Kindle version of the first one since it will be a lot easier to read anyway. But if you're interested, this is a pretty great deal!

I've done a quick video on the new Retro Autobot Wheelie just because I love the G1 figure so much. It's live now. PLEASE watch it, like and COMMENT! That's all I ask for you to support the channel! Thanks again for giving me even a small bit of your attention. I truly appreciate it!

I need to take a short break.

Some personal things in my life have to take priority over the next month or two, so I don't expect to be producing any more longform content during that time. The fact is, I put a lot of work into my longform videos because I want them to be more than just me talking in front of a figure for 15 minutes, but those take a lot of time. And for the next few weeks, I know I'm not going to have that kind of time.

You can always follow me on Tiktok, if that's your thing, as I am currently trying to post daily, but those vids take a few minutes and are easy (basically just me talking in front of a figure for a few minutes 😂). I also might produce the occasional short here on Youtube as well. But I don't want to release any longform videos that are subpar, so those will have to wait a bit.

Anyway, I don't have to tell you there's plenty of great TF content online, and I'm a very small fish in the pond, so obviously it will be just fine. But I just wanted to explain why you might check the page and wonder why there's no new content.

Give me a bit of time, and there will be lots more to come!

Thanks for reading! I ❤️ this community so much!

I've been watching this three-pack for a while now on Amazon, and now it's just $70 for three Studio Series figures from RotF! This is a great deal if, like me, you didn't previously own any of these. And want them, of course. Check it out on Amazon! a.co/d/0adpQcoA

Was Hot Rod responsible for Optimus Prime's death in the 86 movie?

Also, my review of the new Studio Series Hot Rod is live now: https://youtu.be/8YuQXiAkumM

A slight redeco (magenta!) and a fishing rod. Is Hot Rod hotter with a fishing rod? Oh, and the sword (lightsaber?) and shield, of course!

I need to re-record the audio for the Armada Powerlinx Hot Shot review. No point releasing something that sounds kind of terrible! So still coming VERY soon!

My full UNBOXING and (flashback) REVIEW of Powerlinx Hot Shot and Jolt (2003) should hopefully be out tomorrow afternoon (Tuesday). He's a super fun figure, but the video is just as much about how great the packaging and presentation was back in the Armada era. Once again, I'm wondering out loud, "Whatever happened to 'fun' toys." Or maybe the real question is, "What IS fun?"

Man, you really felt like you were getting some bang for your buck back in the day with this kind of packaging. Full review coming soon!
