good lord the whole thing is lit up
hey everybody uh adam savage got my hair is i'm just not happy with my hair today hey uh
how does that matter to this video adam savage here in my cave uh with an unboxing
yeah an unboxing i have received i know i'm doing a lot of prop unboxing lately
and it's because i'm going through this phase of ordering a lot of
mass-market prop replicas because it's a great time for mass market prop replicas things
are looking really good in that department uh the ghostbusters wand
the uh dune kris knife uh the upcoming hasbro uh proton pack i'm very excited so i've been built
i have been increasing my prop collection with some mass-market pieces and here is
here is one um it's funny it's labeled as the action figures one piece avn
legends gear broomstick avengers i love a weird name skew as much as the next guy but i was like
did i accidentally order like a quidditch broom um no this is the um this is stormbreaker yes
yes
dude um
stormbreaker yeah look at all the lighting here's the lighting reference um
so let's crack this puppy open let's see what we got i love this weapon by the way i love
this part of the movie i love peter dinklage i love stormbreaker seriously um all right
instructions i think there's batteries in this i think it makes noise we shall see and after a
spoiler alert after i open this i've got another thing to show you
i may have to pull the camera back a little bit
oh it is in two parts
oh okay oh look at that all right something lifts right out
okay there oh yeah
i can see right away it needs a little paint
held together with a couple of big big ass zip ties
held for shipping uh i can tell right now having whoops wait what was that oh no that
was just it okay um having been obsessively looking at pictures of stormbreaker lately
i can tell you it's a nicely accurate piece especially in the
the groot's sacrificial arm handle
dude that's so amazing okay so what happens here
all right there
oh look at that
oh don't you roll off there
okay so let's look at the instructions shall we
all alrighty then so there's a whole section that comes off oh wow
wow look at that nifty okay so there is a
battery slot
oh all right phillips
okay three double a's
it is oh i put it in my back pocket is what i did
i was going to say it is remarkable how fast i can lose things
all right for that this is really nice they've the the uh
the wood here on the on the i keep wanting to say mjolnir um the wood here is
wow
i see now how it goes all right
okay so now it's time to put this back together
so
oh it's got lights crazy okay stop there we go now let's see
does it have oh i see there we go oh cool
hey stop it
wow
apparently it has lots of its own adventures all right let's see
maybe that turn it off ladies and gentlemen
ah
yeah it's got some red some lights that are like shining on it okay i really wish it would stop
making all this noise oh wow the whole thing glows good lord the whole thing is lit up
well then
that sounded like a car horn well hello
so
it does not explain how to turn it off
let me see if there's anything in here that helps me learn how to turn it on
all right uh we're pulling out the batteries because i gotta be able to talk
you know i know that they've built some functionality into this
but frankly if it's inscrutable as to how to how it works and you can't actually turn it off
that's annoying so i'm just not going to worry about it i prefer a silent prop uh when i had kids
something i did a couple of times when their toys came with sounds i would frequently
before i gave them those toys open the toy up and solder a resistor between the speaker and its uh
input to lower the volume yeah all right let's talk about stormbreaker for a second
this is a great prop this is uh definitely a hero size this is it's substantial
it's got some nice structure to it which i dig it totally needs a paint job without a doubt
uh and that's definitely like the next step for me uh with my journey with this prop
but this isn't my only stormbreaker and i want to show you the other one
yeah i'm just gonna go get it
so here is the hero one accurate in every detail that i can surmise
the writing is correct the design is correct the layout and the worn parts the geometry
it's all dead on the money and that's what you would expect from the mass market piece
it's not what you used to be able to expect but now it certainly is and then i picked up this
on uh i think etsy the thing about this is uh that's totally astounding is that it's actually
made of metal and it's not just metal it's not pot metal hold on i'm about to show you this
are you ready it's freaking steel it's actually cast steel i've never
seen a prop made of castile and it has many inaccuracies this writing shouldn't be there
this design isn't right this looks pretty darn good um and we can start to look at it
and we can see yeah okay so it's a little bit small it's definitely a little small
um but there's something i love about this thing hold on i just want you to see this
there you go you ready
yeah this thing is so freaking heavy is it feels to me like the experience it feels like what
i would imagine it would feel like to pick up stormbreaker and that's really neat like that
in there is the like when i s i'm always saying i'm looking for a certain experience with a prop
this is what i want and i'm going to i'm going to do some weathering on this i'm going to do some
um final polishing and shining on this part to uh to make the front end look really deadly
um i'm going to uh actually redo the handle not entirely i'm just going to add some more sculpted
vines up here because as you can see on the real one there is much more of a much more of a vine
structure around the thing um and it's a funny one because normally when i pick up something
like this and i look at it and i find details that are wrong i get a little sad about it you
know i want to that's not the one i want i like fidelity is always really important but frankly
the weirdness of this being actual cast steel the handle looks great it feels
great to hold and i just love the humor of having this in my shop and someone going oh
hey can i pick up your stormbreaker and i'll be like yeah and then they go
what the freaking hell yeah that that that makes me very happy so uh that's it yeah we've uh uh
we are we are we are well protected here at the cave thank you guys for joining me for this
unboxing um we'll you know i've got like a whole series now of paint ups that i want to do i want
to paint up a cap shield i want to paint up do a paint pass on the ghostbusters proton wand thrower
i want to do a paint job on this thing there's a lot of prop painting in my future good portion
it's probably going to end up on camera thank you guys for joining me for this i'm adam savage
here in my cave and i will see you guys next time
