Guys, guys, don't you know that Zack has to pay the bills too? Don't you even know how big the gay progressive traditionalist leg fetishist cough syrup addict VFW member comic book enthusiast is? Duh! He's doing so well know right now that he won't have to use his real name on OF any time soon.

"I had a good conversation with CHAT GPT last night." -- Ya Boi Zack

So, this video has a clickbait title for the new Zack, because there are only two things he wants to talk about in this video.
1. How important Ethan Hunt is to him.
2. The Mission: Impossible fan fiction he wrote about Ethan Hunt last night with help from Chat GPT. I hope he or Chat GPT had him say, "Nothing Personnel, Kid," at some point, or why bother?

Since at this point what I'm hoping for from Zack videos is him ranting like a crazy person instead of acting like a 13 year old, this in not top tier modern Zack content for me.

what are you talking about? this is great news for EVS. he finally has an external excuse for why he can't fulfill his promises.

"oh, I'd love to ship you this frog book guys, but the tariffs are so high i can't afford to! don't worry, I'll get around to it when they're not as high. until then I'll do the responsible thing and use the money you gave me at the casino, to win enough to ship the books out to you of course. I'm not gonna use it to get drunk and end up smoking crack in a parking lot or anything."

Yes and no. While I'm sure he will hold off as long as he can, the Chinese aren't going to hold on to the finished product forever. Eventually sending them to be destroyed and keep the deposit. Possibly try to sell them themselves. I suppose it will depend on how close to completion these things are or if they have even been started. Possibly not get everything at once. Thousand now. Few thousand more once the tariffs go away/get lowered. If that ever happens. Who knows. Plus, there is the potential for it going higher. Imagine paying 500% tariffs on RtB toys that you will have to practically be giving away a year from now because these things will sell worse than the Cyberfrog toys.

He probably already has to contend with them stealing his IP and if they see money in it, sell versions of these on Temu or Alibaba.

They always loved science fiction and that was basically the only thing besides music that you could get them to talk about. Didn't smile much. Kept to them themselves yet always had a wife or a girlfriend who adored them. They either had zero friends or a ton of them. But it would be centered around something like a bowling league. You couldn't quite nail down their politics. They loved America but hated the government. They liked guns and smoked weed. They were like conservative hippies.

it would be legit less gay to suck a guy in an Arby's bathroom then write this.

all I'm getting from this is Richard joined the military because he thought they were all like the quiet, sensitive military guy he had a crush on at the comic shop. lol

Richard, you don't know what the words "woke" or "Right" mean. you're a James Lindsey tier retard, and your "conservative liberal" political theory is dead because it's incoherent and retarded. Everything you believed and cling to, was proven wrong and discredited by time and now you're lashing out because you can't handle the fact that you're a moron clinging to a post war consensus world that has collapsed and doesn't exist.

It's the toy cars that are immediately effected by this tariff stuff. He finally went and ordered the first samples of cars and was showing them off on a recent stream. This is around one year now after Cody raced the Cyberfrog car. The marks that bought this crap are about the dumbest fucks out there. I have learned so much about how to not run a business from this fatso (and just how gullible people are).

This is from the campaign in early 2024 Heartsick Horror / Race Car

Plus there are also cars and toys in a separate campaign for Reignbow Brute toys. Imagine being a fresh nu CG sucker that is too stupid to do their due diligence and read comments on all the older campaigns.

Weren't these supposed to be model sized cars too? I never fully understood the ratios, but I guess 1/8 or 1/12 sized. The pictures from a week or two ago seemed like they were cheap plastic and Hot Wheel sized.

And unfortunately in EVS case, until his simps stop funding him. He has no reason to be better.

I believe they were always supposed to be like Matchbox/Hot Wheels size. But the sample renderings might have led you and others to think otherwise.

Here's an older capture of the campaign that is less clear about the size but mentions blister packs so I always assumed Hot Wheels. https://archive.is/xHiV8 & as of today https://archive.is/Jpmtx

Also who knows what bullshit he might have promised on hours long streams a year+ ago i'm not gonna go check. Here are the samples

nice strawman Richard, it's far easier to ignore the real critiques (you being hostile to fans, trying to run off paying customers, being an autistic leftist faggot who is attacking people for not liking terrible movies filled with politics because you're too retarded to get books out on time) and instead invent a complaint nobody is make, because if they were you would've screenshotted it like the butthurt retard you are.

that being said, if you really want to play this game, let's scroll down a little and see the number of comic reviews for the past 2 months shall we?
View attachment 7224224View attachment 7224226View attachment 7224227
well would you look at that, it looks like you've done 10 whole comic reviews (and 1 is actually you political sperging about a right wing comic) in your past 64 videos. you can't even win an against the strawmen you created in your own mind, you sub human retard.

keep reading and seething at the thread, cunt. the only value you ever had was being cannon fodder for uncle Sam.

Fails by his own standards, many such cases.

Zack's latest video is basically:
Eric July: "Hey, an internal universe bible helps maintain consistency in storytelling!"
Zack, foaming at the mouth like he just saw a spreadsheet punch his grandma:"YOU'RE A TOILET BRUSH, SNIFFING PHILISTINE, YOU WAREHOUSE CLERK. ART IS NOT TIDY. ART IS NOT ON TIME. ART IS BLEEDING OUT IN A BATHTUB OF MISSED DEADLINES WHILE THINKING ABOUT THE TASTE OF CEREAL YOU HAD ONCE IN 1993!"
At this point, if Eric July says “drink water,” Zack will upload a 20-minute rant about how hydration is for cowards and that real artists are supposed to shrivel into raisins for the sake of vision.

Bunch of clips

Zack deliberately bends the most basic concepts into pretzels just to dunk on whoever he's obsessed with that week. The logic he used with Eric’s universe bible is wild:
"Batman has changed over the decades, therefore consistency is bad, therefore Eric is anti art, therefore spreadsheets are the devil."
Like… how do you even connect those dots without spraining something?
What Eric was talking about, a universe bible, isn't even controversial. Every major creative industry uses something similar: show bibles for TV series, lore bibles for games, style guides for branding. It’s not anticreative, it protects creativity by keeping the world coherent. It’s how you build depth and continuity that fans can invest in.
But for Zack, the second Eric touches it, it becomes a McCarthyite death machine. He throws out every insult he has: it's factory work, it's bureaucratic, it's anti artist, it’s literally warehouse tier villainy.

That could be it.

Bloody hell, the man needs to walk a little and do some cardio. I'm a fatass too, but at least I don't sound like I'm struggling to breathe when I talk.

I don't know. They look better than what earlier pictures I saw showed (looked like a plastic car). But not better enough to pay the $12 or so to get one. But I suppose if I liked geek knickknacks, I might feel different.

Also wonder if/when the price will go up.

These are 1:64 scale. That's not the bait-and-switch part though, it's advertising them as "die-cast" that I think is the problem since by the pics that have been shown they appear to be the cheapest of the cheap mass produced injection-molded plastic available even in China. Believe it or not there are actual die-cast collectors who probably bought this not knowing the cheap bastard would even lie about that. Pot metal die-cast knockoff Hotwheels would've cost him the same, maybe a few pennies more per trinket. EVS don't give a fuck though, that's an extra three whole dollars for the blackjack table. Suckers. Ribbitcoin says hello.

EDIT: I just saw the reveal video for the first time from a couple posts earlier. "Pull-back" toy cars are called inertia cars in China. These particular ones are less than a dime apiece in large quantities so maybe a quarter apiece in the small volume that was sold to Frog's suckers. Add maybe a dollar more for the custom packaging (yes the cardboard backing cost 4x more than the product inside). A 3000% markup later and bingo bango that's a nice trip to Caesar's in Atlantic City.

I just spent more time typing this post than Ethan Van Sciver did orchestrating this particular scam.

WHAT HAPPENED TO GUYS LIKE THIS?ChatGPT is getting a lot better at creating iterative versions of things. They used to create a completely new image every time you asked for a small change. Anyway, I was talking about this type of guy who was everywhere in the '70s and '80s and he faded out sometime in the '90s. He would be a guy you saw working at a comic book shop or an auto parts store. He came off as old even though he was usually in his early thirties. They were always vets but not in a glamorous way. Like they fixed refrigerators in the Navy or something like that. They always loved science fiction and that was basically the only thing besides music that you could get them to talk about.

But it would be centered around something like a bowling league. You couldn't quite nail down their politics. They loved America but hated the government. They liked guns and smoked weed. They were like conservative hippies. But there was never a name specifically for this guy and now this type of guy doesn't really exist anymore. Does anyone remember these guys?

"What were they called?"

They were (are) called Richard Meyer's fucking MarySues.

Wot-a-Fag. It's too damn specific to nail an actual group which of course never existed.
Rather this is how Zack would LOVE to be regarded by others. Not as an autistic spaz but as some reserved cool sigma motherfucker. Yeah, real Old Man Logan or Ben Kenobi shit. Geez....BTW thanks for dropping a clue that you're coughing because you may be smoking fucking pot Rick.
