Yeah. Done with Hasbro. Their toys suck worse than ever. Of course, I was raised on GoDaiKin and such, so....AND the company is garbage.

Hasbro: Belloq in a suit is boring. We need more ceremonial versions! Also Hasbro: We need more versions of Indiana Jones in suits!

Hahaha. I totally read that as if you weren't being sarcastic, nor seeing you were saying that as hasbro. Yeah, call me crazy, but I'd really be only interested in Belloq in their quintessential white suit and fedora. As elaborate as it is, the idea of only getting them in the ceremonial garb is on par with only getting Indy in the Arab garb.

You know Hasbro has confidence in their products when they disable comments.

@@Smiley-. - If there are "too many aholes" disparaging a product, the company should be asking themselves why that's happening and how they can move on it, instead of shutting their eyes and ears and pretending such criticism doesn't exist. Hasbro, as a whole, has been doing the exact same thing with their MTG lines -- putting out tone-deaf marketing and PR statements and only responding when the fanbase is in the process of melting down. Something tells me their marketing department has been gutted and these are the only PR reps left in the joint.

Either that, or they think Indy 5 is going to be huge and want to get a head and ride the "Hype Train". So far them and KK at Lucas Films might be the only ones.

I love Michael but watching him use that whip makes me think Michael IS Indiana Jones!! Love that guy!

I love how they show ceremonial Beloq when they talk about their "new" additions to the vintage line. Not Napal Marrion, safari Beloq with the idol, or Satipo like the concept art just put the mail away on a card back like gohst Anikin Skywalker.

There's nothing more legit than having a convenient whip handy to throw shade at Hasbro!

The words of Gene Wilder in Blazing Saddle’s have never range truer than in the halls of Hasbro. “You know? Morons”

That Tiger Force Skystriker is AWESOME!

Hasbro: "We know... let's release an "asp" figure... you know, from the Well of Souls scene. It can be just a generic rubber snake--but the fans will LOVE it!! Cuz, you know, asps--very dangerous! We're so clever and respectful to the fans aren't we?" *Hasbro pats itself on the back*

Those guys are like watching an Indiana Jones Tupperware party.

The whip at the end was a great move, basically Michael was showing he actually does know what he's talking about.

Their "Whip" with the party favor sound broke my laugh meter! 🤣 It made me cry laughing at the Hasblo Team. Even without the added party favor sound, it sounded just like a broken one unfurling. These Hasblo guys have no clue, and don't care to even try looking for one. Thanks again Michael!

Almost a crocodile Dundee quote. That’s not a whip, this is a whip.

Or maybe they are testing the waters for a haslab whip with actual whipping action, that will only cost $700

Michael with the whip made my entire week

The incorrect bow tie and vest really peeved me for that Last Crusade Indy, as that outfit in the sewers is my favorite alternate Indy outfit. I wanted this line to be great. Coming from a die hard Indy fan.

The whip at the end was worth the price of admission! Clearly Hasbro’s guys weren’t in the theater for any of the movies.. zero energy. Hasbro’s “whip” was either a Halloween reject or something that bald guy found in an adult book store 😂

Superb reactions from Michael's first AND LAST Has Bro Pulse Stream. Has Bro: They try their best, but never mind. :)

That whip. 😮 Damn…. He’s pretty good at that.

It's amateur hour at Hasbro. But that whip work at the end is the most awesomely badass thing I've seen this week.

Thank you Bob. Big fan of your writings here.

When Hasbro Pulse comes along, you must whip it! Before the stream goes on too long, you must whip it! When everything goes wrong, you must whip it!

Seems like now would be the perfect time to do a Short Round figure given that Ke Huy Quan is having a career resurgence right now. For Pete's sake, ride the pop culture moment you've been given.

Even more so now

The waifish homoculus gingerly flicking that toddler's toy at his bald manlet coworker immediately followed by Michael's whipwork gave me, well, whiplash.

Spot on as usual! I don’t get all wrapped up in this stuff usually, but damn. And excellent bull whip segment at the end. Michael and his spot on commentary is what keeps me coming to this channel. Well, that and nostalgia

Michael doing his best Crocodile Dundee. Love it.

I got a feeling Michael is tempted to use the real whip on those Hasbro spokes people

Hasbro" the new Indiana Jones whip!!!! " Michael " hold my beer" !! Another 🎤 drop!

Wow they even managed to replicate how most of the figures for the Indiana Jones toys ended up being peg warmers. Big ups hasbro

Michael has a real Indiana Jones whip! 😳

Moving into a home near RetroBlasting HQ would have to be a surreal experience for anyone not aware of what's going on over there.

Seeing those guys try to sell that dollar store reject as a cool toy was hilarious!! Love the real whip skills at the end!!🤣🤣👍👍

I’m excited to at least get Indiana Jones himself, especially the Club Obi Wan version But I must agree they’re definitely for huge fans like me. I have a feeling I’ll be seeing quite a bit of this wave on the clearance shelf’s and sites within three months. Bravo on the whip skills!

I think the reason they neutered the whip toy was because the 2008 electronic/plush version was infamous for becoming quite a weapon once it got wet.

"That's a whip!..." 😆 🤣 😂

"Mimics an actual party blower."

Sententious Michael is the best Michael! Brilliant video.

Holy shit. Now I know who to call if a lion shows up.

This whole video made my night, especially the ending!!

Yooooo he cracked the whip like a pro! You forever have a follower retroblasting ❤️❤️❤️

That party blower whip had me dying. 🤣🤣🤣

Hilarious... I love how you said exactly what everyone was thinking... and ending with a super bad ass whip cracking at the end! Keep up the great work Michael

"That's a Whip!" I loved that!

Ouch!!!! Lol that was brutal to watch Hasbro!! Love when you call this garbage out Micheal ❤

LMAO 😂🤣 That ending was epic!

Great video! The whip action was extremely impressive. Thanks for sharing.

The little portions of comedy you've been adding to your videos over the years, just slays me. I laugh so hard at some of your jokes. Absolutely love your videos. Wishing you, yours and your channel all the best this year!

Peg warmers was the first thing that came to my mind as well. I remember those days all too well.

Jonesing for some Retro Blasting

Mike as always you speak the truth! Don't ever stop!👍

Absolutely awesome Mike!

One of the best videos! Cracked a huge laugh on the whip sound effect!

This was great 😆 can’t wait for more

I don't know how Hasbro somehow is delivering such an excellent proton pack replica, and yet at the same time, that "whip"......ooof.

Crack that whip! What a great video 👏👏👏

I love your whip-scene in die end. Gorgeous. Thanks Michael. Keep up the good work. 😊

by physical and sexual qualities rather than actual talent and skill most likely.

Michael, you critiqued this amazingly. For all the grief that's been tossed your way about anything, your film skills show up and it's hilarious watching clowns get shredded for such seemingly simple things as not looking at the camera. That alone, would've made this an epic video, but Hasbro livestreams are so far beneath your skillset, you hammered it with what you could. As an aside, even the new never before seen offerings aren't imaginative. Hasbro is stuck in the mud in all their lines, whether Kenner based, Marvel largely, or GI Joe. Especially their HasLab snoozers...always a pleasure to see your videos man

😂😂😂😂 jeez!!! All that was missing from this burn was a “Yo Momma” joke! 😂😂 I thought it was a giant brown shrimp he was wrestling!!! Aw Michael thank you once again for some belly laughs!!! Needed that today!! Bravo sir 👏👌 New logo is fire too 👍

Awesome skills Michael! Love your dedication and passion ; )

One of your ALL TIME BESTS! LOL

Was waiting for this . ❤️

I used a rubber snake for a whip when I was a kid. Ironic I know. Safety be damned! That rubber snake could take more then your eye out.

That’s a Whip!🤠👉🏻… awesome Michael you Rock!

Legendary stuff there Michael, you got this absolutely spot on and i also cant stop laughing 😂

Michael's whip skills at the end is one the sexiest thing I've seen.

When is Stan Solo going to make a Michael figure complete with a whip and an M-1 garand? I feel there's some amazing potential there

But Michael, he has a shield... lol 🙄 "That's a whip" Daaaamn. Bad ass.

I died at the end with the whip - played it back many times while laughing. You should make that a short.

I liked this video before I even watched it. I KNEW I was going to be laughing, but didn't expect to laugh through the whole thing! Hilarious.

Mate this video had me laughing out loud! So good

“That’s a whip!”

All I know is after watching your whip skills Mr. French, I now have more respect for you. That was flipping impressive. And that toy whip they made looks alot like the one from when Crystal Skull came out.

Great way to end it! This is a whip! 👏👏👏

_"Mimics an actual whip, [children]"_ ...are they going to be in the next Project Veritas leaked video

When that toy whip came out on that Pulse video, I just noped the hell out of any hope that this new line was being managed by anyone with even the common sense of a rock.

When I saw Hasbro announce the Indy range I was excited for two reasons. The first, as an Indy and OT Black Series fan I was excited to see how they would do the line. Secondly, I was looking forward see how they get round Lucas Film's/Disney's aversion to represent anything deemed inappropriate in the modern era, namely...... how are 2023 Hasbro going to do Nazis action figures. Seeing these reveals gives me a clue...... they're not! It looks like they are going to just release as many Indys, allies and none Nazis uniformed antagonists as they can. And you might as well forget seeing those racially questionable Thugee cultists too!

"That's a whip!"

So funny. Thankyou Michael.

They also have Grail Knight, Mola Ram, and Henry Jones Sr in the pipeline. No word on a Willie, Elsa, Lao Che, or Brody yet :(

It’s so nice that I’ll be able to find most of the adventure series (including the exclusives) on clearance. I had some sticker shock at first but I guess I can count on most of the line ending up closer to $12.99
