[00:00] What is the case behind ZAR? I thought you guys would never ask. We do have a little case here. A little unboxing soon. This one is very exciting. I hinted at it already. I already told you guys.
[00:13] It's not like a surprise. Frugo made me a bronze sculpture, statue if you will, of my WoW character. my 20-time rank one Gladiator WoW character character,
[00:27] my main WoW retail character that I played for 15 years and have since retired, busted out. Are you guys ready for this? I mean, I could bust it out. This thing is legit, like, the coolest thing.
[00:39] I actually don't know. This box is really heavy. Like, turns out bronze is, like, very heavy. And I didn't realize how heavy it was until, like, so I met Frugo at BlizzCon last week or 10 days ago,
[00:52] and he had me hold it and I almost like dropped it. I'm like, no, not really, but it was like that heavy. I'm like, holy crap, this thing is heavy. Bronze or brass? I think it's bronze. Am I miss meddling this? Fruit bill? I don't know if he's in the chat.
[01:05] But yeah, anyway, I'll show you, I'm up yapping. I'll show you guys the thing. I showed my wife last night. I actually, spoiler alert, I've seen it once at BlizzCon already. I showed it, I already saw it once at BlizzCon
[01:17] and I showed my wife last night. So I've opened this box probably two or three times and I've already seen it, okay? But I put it back in the box so I could do an unboxing. It's a re-unboxing.
[01:29] Yeah, that's right. I think I might be able to put it on this. Maybe. It might work. This thing is like crazy big and crazy heavy.
[01:45] I don't know if it's going to work. Yeah, it might work. All right. Open this thing up. Open it up.
[01:57] Man, what a fun day, man. I've been looking forward to this. Like, I've really been looking forward to this, man. I saw it on BlitzCon. I was like, holy moly. How much was the shipping? Yo, Frugo, how much was the shipping on this?
[02:10] I've got to guess it's like $200 shipping. There's no way it's cheaper than like $200. This thing is heavy. Combining your Legion while achieving your goal in one with a bronze statue. Probably a lot. Like, at least 200, right?
[02:22] Good guess. It was 220? Yeah. Yeah. All right, guys. Oh, my gosh. You can see it in there. Wow. Wow, wow, wow.
[02:34] All right, hold up. I want to, like, show this off on how cool it looks in here, but I don't want to drop it. I'm going to, like, do a little... A little... A little leany-lean. A little more leany-lean.
[02:46] Of course, we'll take it out. I just want to show you guys how cool it looks inside there. Yeah, it is. It is insane, bro. So once again, if you guys are just tuning in, it's a bronze sculpture or statue.
[03:01] Sculpture is the right word. Sculpture. Of my main WoW character for like 15 years. The character I played tournaments in.
[03:15] The character I got my first rank 1 title on. the character I got my last rank one title on, the character I've played for half my life,
[03:27] and I retired him a few years ago, and it's just like a cool thing to have a permanent physical representation of that character. So anyway, enough yapping. Let me get it out of here. I'm going to close this and then put it on the ground and then take it out.
[03:40] One sec. This box is like massive, when this thing showed up I was like holy crap dude.
[04:00] Alright here it is. Here it is. Dude it's so heavy, this thing is so heavy man. it's a deep I mean I was literally
[04:12] blown away when I saw this in person it looks way cooler in person too like I know it looks sick on camera but like seeing it in person is like literal unbelievable this is my character that I spent
[04:24] half my life playing man it is like the coolest thing like legit I like shaking bro and it not because it so heavy Look at that thing man Alright we got some more drops
[04:48] So when I retired my character, I uh... Maybe I'm a little more sentimental than most people, I don't know, but I... When I decided to stop competing and like stop pushing for titles and stuff,
[05:00] I decided to log out one last time. It was like right before my son was born. So I logged out my character on the beach to give him a nice retirement. And if you look under his feet,
[05:13] there's sand and some rocks. And it's the beach that I last logged my character out on when I stopped playing competitively. And that's why there's some sand under his feet. It's really cool.
[05:25] Very cool detail by Frugo. We'll get to his links here in a second, guys. This scythe is the transmog that I used on my character for years and years. It's called the Garden Scythe.
[05:37] I always thought it was a really cool weapon because it's simple but unique. So I used the Garden Scythe for many many many many years. And this transmog was a transmog that I made myself.
[05:52] That's like a kind of a unique belt and helmet combo that fits like the rest of the set. I can log in and show you guys, but it's my favorite transmog, my favorite weapon on the beach, on the undead.
[06:08] So basically coolest thing ever. Yeah. Log in. Yeah, I can log in and show you guys. Screen narrator.
[06:20] Wait, I actually kind of want to. Yo, Frugal, what's this thing weigh, man? If I could guess, like, one pound? So this is my guy.
[06:32] This is my guy right there, man. That's my main mage. That's my scythe. That's the belt. That's the cavern. That's the hoe.
[06:44] So the boot, helm, waist, cavern, chest, there's some different sets. And then the shoulders, gloves and legs match. The ones that kind of mix and match.
[06:56] My go-to mod on this guy. Select experience, bro. Pick up where you left off.
[07:08] Oh yeah. Right there. The music is louder. I'll turn it down so you can hear inside. They've resettled my settings I think since I've been on the bit.
[07:22] I got an otter. This is my character. These are the... This is the beach and the rocks. Literally, guys, right there.
[07:35] The rocks and the sand is exactly where my character is in the game. Always my first reaction when I saw it, I got a little emotional.
[07:48] I was crying, obviously, because I obviously wasn't doing that. But I got a little emotional. I was like, wow, this is very, very cool.
[08:00] So if you guys do X-Maschite Bronze, I made a command. It is Farugo Made It. He does some custom orders, I believe. If you want to go check him out,
[08:12] that command will just live there now and we're gonna have to find a place for this guy to live i think it'll probably be like right there or something we're not to uh
[08:26] rearrange some stuff but yeah we'll rearrange the back table but it'll probably be like somewhere like right there get some up lighting for it now that would actually be lit we have a look like a little
[08:41] little light behind it right now, but that would be, like, super cool. Anyway, I was really looking forward to this, guys. I was really looking forward to it, dude. Let's
[08:55] see the slash played. 314 days, which actually isn't that much, because I have, like, another mage at like 280 because I played and I have like another mage at like 100 and another mage at like 100 and another mage at like 100 It sounds like a bunch but this is the one to most This is the one I played the most
[09:26] Anyway. Pretty cool. Pretty cool morning, man. I was really looking forward to it. Why Horde on that one? I played Horde like most of my PvP career. I play Alliance too,
[09:38] but I play Horde more. So that's why when everyone says like, oh, you're a Horde hater, I'm like, yeah, clearly this guy is new. I play Horde like most of the time.
[09:50] How many rank ones? I think this one character... I believe this one character has 18. And I have more on other characters.
[10:04] I think this one character has 18. Which I think might make him one of the most decorated WoW characters in WoW history. Which is pretty cool. And I haven't played him in three years.
[10:18] Pretty nuts. JRED, thanks for the prime, man. DAME, thanks for the prime. DRONE, thanks for the prime.
[10:31] Alright. Alright. Alright. Pretty rad. Now, yeah, now he's resting, and, like, you'll always just be in the background there.
[10:45] Now you guys know what it means to me, too. Very, very cool. Very, very cool. When, uh, Prudhoe first reached out, I thought it was gonna be, like, a lot smaller, but it is, like, massive.
[10:57] But, you know what I mean. It's like, it's like, it's like the detailing too, it's like, whoa. Very, very cool.
[11:09] Very, very cool. So. Anyway, I think my brawn's in the chat. If you ever want to check out his website, he has some, uh, some links and details. I believe he...
[11:22] Let's see. I think he's trying to get Blizzard's attention to maybe do official stuff with Blizzard as well, but he's made like trophies and some really, really cool stuff. So definitely check him out. Don't cut yourself with the size.
[11:35] Yeah, I want to like make sure. Man, I'm like shaking still like after that unboxing. Yeah, it's actually pretty sharp. It's actually pretty sharp. You got to be careful with it. All right. They sent me some of these close-ups that they took before they mailed it to me,
[11:50] which it's probably like way better to see these than like me holding it up because you can actually see more of the detail. And like I said, it looks way cooler in person too. like because I saw these and online
[12:02] before they sent it to me I was like okay that's really cool and then when I saw it in person I was legit just speechless I was like what the heck like it has way more detail than you would ever expect when you actually like see it this is the single most BA thing
[12:16] yeah it's pretty it's pretty darn cool man it is pretty darn cool what's up Zarian chat I'm Gil I work at Firebird Bronze with bronze and silver sculptures.
[12:28] And recently, we made a custom, visually sculpted 18-pound bronze. 18 pounds! Someone asked how much does it weigh, and I was listing it, and I said, I think about 15 or 20.
[12:41] 18. There we go. Undead Mage, where are you? Seriously, bro, it is so cool. Like, actually just so cool.
[12:53] Actually, we made two. Here's the second one. Oh, there's a second one. With a different patina. Yeah, looking very sick. Very cool. Very cool. Yeah, so by day, I helped run the foundry with my friends, Frugo and Keegan, but then by night...
[13:10] This is Frugo. I met him at BlizzCon, and he showed me this here, and when I first saw it, I was like, I almost wanted to cry. It's like, it means so much to me. It's very, very, very cool. Like I said, guys, I spent like half of my life playing this character.
[13:24] Nuts. We started a design studio called Large Fountain Guild with the intention of making really cool stuff related to video games, music, anime, and other, you know, enthusiast niches
[13:37] that we're really passionate about. They made one for Ezpan, too. I think Ezpan showed it off on a stream maybe six months ago. Super cool He got the I think Crusade Tabard Ash Candy On Red Like very very very cool Being fans of things like World of Warcraft Trump Software Ledger Zelda and Pokemon and working in the metalcast art industry
[14:00] we noticed that these ITs with huge communities of enthusiasts don't make small editions of their characters and stories in bronze and silver. Oh, there were plenty of reasons for that. But today we think that Enthusiast and the company who makes these stories
[14:14] are ready to make custom, limited edition bronze and silver art. Absolutely. So instead of just trying to explain to IP holders, you know, all the potential and what it is that we could do, we started making some pieces to show them.
[14:27] And in order to prove to ourselves that the communities were interested in these things, we started giving them to people to see basically what was the reaction going to be. Dude. Yeah, I saw. Oh, yeah, look. So I was going to say, I saw Ed's fan open his, I think it was like six months ago, and
[14:41] I was like, holy crap. And then Frugo reached out. I didn't know they were going to be this big, though. I thought they were going to be like this. These things are like massive. Like way, there's so much detail.
[14:54] It's like way cooler than I thought. Oh my god. Don't do it, bro. That's fantastic. No way. The original. Yeah, it's pretty rad.
[15:06] You know, for example, a limited edition run of 25 bronze links pulling the Master Sword out of the Pedestal of Time in the Temple of Time to commemorate the Ocarina of Time remake would go exceptionally hard.
[15:23] And in the case of World of Warcraft, you know, people spend thousands of hours... I wonder how long it took them. I could ask, how long did it take you to make this single one?
[15:38] I'm curious. Like, how long did it take? Like, there's so much detail. And, yeah, it would go hard. Sorry, I cut him off. Like, what are you saying? People are so invested in their characters. Like I said, when I got mine, I felt like I wanted to, like, cry
[15:51] because I spent half my life playing this character, right? On one character. So they end up with years of memories in hindsight with one character and being able to commemorate all that with a custom bronze or a custom silver sculpture of their character.
[16:05] Like, that just sounds amazing. Well, I mean, we think it is amazing. That's why we're doing it. But yeah, at this point in time, we don't have licensing to sell Blizzard sculptures and some software sculptures or Nintendo sculptures.
[16:19] but we can still make them for free under the Fair Use Act and basically prove to ourselves and to the IP holders that communities want these things. Oh, that's interesting.
[16:31] So they need licensing to be able to sell it. That's why they're gifting them for right now. I think they're trying to work with Blizzard and maybe, I think he told me they already are to try to get the licensing so they can actually start selling them.
[16:43] I mean, that would be sick. I mean, who would be interested in one of these for your main character? but he messaged me saying back it took him four months to make it four months
[16:55] and he said that was us moving click oh my gosh bro yeah if they got licensing though
[17:07] they would be back ordered for years like that would be four months dude that is crazy that's what we're doing so yeah if you think this is cool follow us leave a comment
[17:19] let us know what you think show us to the people and there's a lot of cool things that we're working on right now that we can't talk about yet but you're probably going to want to know about it and Zaryu
[17:31] we hope you like your statue and that it does a great job of commemorating the hours and memories that you have with that character so this is spot on so when I saw it
[17:43] in person like I said I kind of like my eyes teared up just a little bit. I was crying, just for the record. But, no, it meant a lot,
[17:55] like, because I spent so much time on this character. So much of my childhood, so much of my, like, young adult life. And, like I said, I retired the character a few years
[18:08] back. But now to just have that there always, it's just, it's just, it's just so cool, you You know? It's just so cool. So, spot on, man. Shout out to him again.
[18:20] We have a link in the chat with X-Ray Quint Brums. I don't know what to make the link. Link for the website as well.
