Going to be finishing the editing on Dr Wu Devastator and filming another review in tandem tomorrow. Schedule kinda calls for it, so I may be cutting it close on both, but both need doing. Glad I took an extra week on Devy. its a BEEFY video.

Been off dealing with family stuff, but I've got some great news. Firstly, a big (not really) annual project is coming back, and is now about 80% filmed. Secondly. In a word. Thrash's sister. Whatever could that mean? Hmmm.

My honey bought a 3D printer. We tested it on a random legends Optimus prime I found on one of the file websites (it's on hir computer, not mine, so I don't have the link). I kinda wanna print more legends stuff now. Might buy some filament to use.

The worst rated OVA in the history of the internet? Across multiple websites? I mean, it can't be that bad, right? What's an Idea Factory again? A brand new episode of OVA hell is out now, covering...Skelter Heaven...oh dear... youtu.be/Bo5qjECve5Y

I started writing a diagnosis insanity, but I quickly realised it was going to take a whole lot more research and going back further to ten different forms of older media, so...maybe I'll just take my time and come back to that idea next year.

As a heads up, if you find it easier to keep up to date with updates and personal posts on Reddit, I'm going to start posting on my personal Reddit account as well. You can check the Linktree for more info, if you'd like. Up to you.

US defaultism got me annoyed today. Y'all know you're the only ones who use month/day/year, right? Everyone else goes shortest to longest timeframe. And I'm not American. Nobody's even stopped to think about what the announcement could be and instead laughed at the formatting.

Definitely warming up to Liokaiser, but he's still a little bit underwhelming IMO. Still unsure on my rankings, but he's definitely above Victory Saber, which is a plus. Still wish they'd done him more like SS86 Devastator. The legs feel the most undercooked.

Does this count as an addiction? Whenever I have eggs, I seem to just make poached each time, mostly because muscle memory. And I get picky when I eat poached eggs out for the same reason, because I can just make them at home. I can stop whenever I want.

Okay, locking in the schedule for October...well, most of it anyway. There's one little bit that's uncertain, but enough is in motion where I can solidly lay out some plans. Dr Wu Devastator is still coming, and some other projects are also in the pipeline. Soon. www.patreon.com/drlockdown/p...

Video may have been pushed back, but in the meantime, a new Preview Gallery is up for viewing on it. I wasn't exaggerating when I said I smashed out 519 shots yesterday; probably one of the biggest filming sessions I've done in a long time. www.patreon.com/drlockdown/p...

DrLockdown @drlockdown.bsky.social · 24/09/2026
A full day and 519 shots later, and its just not coming together. I tried, but its looking like a super complex review that's close to an hour in runtime, and the five weeks of 'defacto managing' at work have taken their toll. Dr Wu Devastator will now release on 04/10.

YouTube mobile app just updated and oh my god this is even more horrid than the last one. The subscription tab is broke. No videos from the peeps I want to follow anymore. Just shorts and posts. New review from Display Case with Nate or Death Reviews? No! Fuck you! Shorts!

Went and saw the 86 Movie rerun last night. In spite of all SS86's nonsense, the film remains just as amazing as it always has been. A true delight, especially on the big screen. Unsure about the short tho. Feels like its...not quite there. Animation was beautiful tho.

Second Preview Gallery for Dr Wu Devastator is up. Unfortunately didn't get as much done as I would've liked, but progress is still on track. Might end up cutting it close again, but its still shaping up well. www.patreon.com/drlockdown/p...

The next review has commenced filming! Yes indeed; we're tackling Dr Wu Devastator; giving 3P Legends another shot, to see if folks are still interested. First Preview Gallery is up. Only a short one, but I'm going to get stuck in properly tomorrow. www.patreon.com/drlockdown/p...

Big thanks to everyone who tuned in for the Siege Shockwave review. Was worried it would bomb, but its done reasonably well (even with Youtube counting views differently). Started recording the next review. Its a much bigger one than the last two; something...green...and poiple.

Let's take things back; lets return to a time when creativity ran wild and a Shockwave could turn into a Warhammer spaceship, with a combined eldrich abomination mode in tow. God I miss Siege. Review #195, Siege WFCS-14 Shockwave, OUT NOW! youtu.be/nWKC6toxXtQ

Put it off a bit, but I've also got a Doc Take dropping tomorrow alongside the new review. Early Access is also up now. Should've been up earlier in the week, but was unfortunately busy. Ah well. Done now. www.patreon.com/drlockdown/p...

Don't want to jinx it, but I might just about be out of the woods. Work may FINALLY be easing up, so I'll potentially have more time for video work in the coming weeks. Kinda relieved. I love my job, but its very tiring.

Finally chucked most of my KOs on Ebay. Not the ones I still hold sentinemtal value for (or the ones that are actually good), but it still feels like the end of an era. I know the kind of collector (and person) I want to be now, and hopefully someone else will like these more.

First impressions are...okay. Maybe I've had a rough day, but this is the first time one of these hasn't felt like a 'Haslab'. This feels like a continuation of the POTP Predaking more than a premium limited-time box set. A fun and okay figure, but probs the weakest Haslab.

The saga is over. Even got an apology. Not that I needed one, as it wasn't the local staff's fault.

Pleasently surprised by AOTP Vector Prime. Was expecting him to be way blander in person, but he's actually pretty nice. Not Legacy nice, and the bronze could be better, but...nice...

I really hope y'all don't expect a Q&A any time soon. I've noticed any time I appear on screen in some shape or form, I lose about twenty subs. It balances out, but I'm not going to just be a disembodied voice like I was for two years, so healthy growth is probs a way off.

Finally ready for pickup. Has been since yesterday, and they still didn't call me. I had to call them. Imm look into alternative Haslab avenues going forward because the lack of communication has put me off EB for the foreseeable future. Again. Not Hasbro's fault. EB's wholly.

DrLockdown @drlockdown.bsky.social · 14/09/2026
Really feel modern combiners are hitting their stride lately. Haven't gotten Liokaiser yet (still waiting on EB to fix it), but these three are pretty nifty. Especially Bruticus. He's genuinely an all-timer. Can't wait to get some upgrades to make him even better.

Another month, another Bubble Burst Rental! And somehow I'm the thumbnail focus. Whoops. Guess das me as da big Lupin fan. This month, the gang tackles the first part of Lupin III, from way back in 1974. A series fractured! An auter cemented! A nice man! Apparently! youtu.be/60YxMQMN7D4

Custom SS 2007 Ratchet. Finally found it, after all this time. I CAN customise stuff, but I tend not to due to the lesser paint durability. It makes me less likely to play with figures myself. Curious as to how the new SS Voyager will turn out. Hopefuly not lacking paint a bit.

Told y'all I'd get it done the next day. But ah well. I upload Sundays, so Siege Shockwave will release six days from now. In the meantime, the Early Access version is up. Hope y'all enjoy, however you watch it. Now, imma go work on the NEXT review. www.patreon.com/drlockdown/p...

Okay, so I missed a weekend. Unfortunate, but we gotta do what we gotta do. The Siege Shockwave review should probably be done by the end of tonight, but I'll stil keep it to a Sunday release. In the meantime, I'll get a leg up on the following review. Its a bigger one, so I can use the time.

DrLockdown @drlockdown.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
Nope. Not happening. Nowhere near done after four hours, and I gotta be up early tomorrow. I'm going to sleep. No video this weekend. Sorry about that. Will probably finish it tomorrow, but for now...it just isn't happening.

Smashed out all the filming for the next episode, covering Siege Shockwave. Preview Gallery is up. Now, either you'll hear from me in fourish hours with a finished episode...or its delayed a week. We'll see. Catch you on the other side. www.patreon.com/drlockdown/p...

Folks...don't buy the new Mattel Creations Bumblebee. It looks naff, its going to be overpriced, and I guarantee the fit and finish isn't going to be there. If you need more convincing, I literally have a full review of their Optimus up from a few years back: youtu.be/ILEYtD5gPZU

Right after deliberately choosing a smaller project to work on, my workload increased AGAIN. Its good for the finances, but you may see some delays and more reschedules going forward this month. I really apologise for this. WFC-S14 is still happening; fully scripted and all.
