Shawn K (S&M Destruction)... What's so special to you about them both?

Shawn K's channel cover as of 2017 (since they both moved into his current house)

Based on one of my post that I made earlier, which was You => stuff destruction videos on YouTube..., I'm gonna tell you about one YouTube channel of that genre, which is in my opinion, is one of my most enjoyable ones that I ever watch. Until now, I always watch their videos as my stress reliever. Even though I also watch some stuff destruction videos by other channels that are way popular than those two guys that I mentioned here, I do sometimes watch those two guys's destruction videos for sure... So, I'm gonna tell you about what's so special to me about the channel itself of their destruction videos.

1. General

Shawn (wields a hammer) & Matt (wields a hatchet) destroying a vintage dishwasher in that "Vintage Dishwasher Destruction" video... Credits belong to the YouTube channel itself...

His channel's name is Shawn K, previously it was known as ssmmkk2 (according to few of audiences who watched them with that name before they both changed it into Shawn K as for now, and also according to it's own channel's link as well). It's also known as S&M Destruction, which obviously means Shawn and Matt Destruction. No channel's description about it though, and they both made this YouTube channel of stuff destruction genre since they uploaded that Santa Gas video back in 2007. Then, they both uploaded more of their both videos like 120VAC Hooked Up To A 6 1/2" Sub, Destroying A Keyboard, Fun With Computer Fans, and so on until these days. This channel also used to known for destroying many stuffs in Matt's trailer park (sometimes in a garage like most of his videos, especially for earlier ones), until they both moved out from that place into their current house in 2017 due to there was something went wrong with Matt's trailer park's restrictions. Until now, they both still making those kinds of videos on Matt's current house, but it's unknown whether they both still making them or not due to various reasons.

2. Explanations

Just like what I said in You => stuff destruction videos on YouTube..., I enjoyed this channel due to my usual stuffs about how I ended up enjoying these types of videos that looks like this channel's would be. Back in 2013, during I was wandering by several electric fan videos by various channels on YouTube those days, I "suddenly" watch some fan destruction videos by various channels, and this channel is also no exception. It's because they both already uploaded two fan destruction videos like these:

Then, during I watched Garret Claridge's "Removing" the Ceiling Fan, with OUR HEADS in 2014, this channel also upload their own ceiling fan destruction video in that year, which was this one:

At least they both didn't destroy any vintage fans anyway, and they both also made two sequels of their both ceiling fan destructions in 2015. One was the one that was mounted on the ground, then got destroyed using thermite and pickaxe, and the other one was the same method that almost like this one above here, but with some Barney dolls involved... Okay, back to the reason about why I enjoyed this channel. Since they uploaded those three ceiling fan destruction videos that they both made, I'm pretty much enjoyed by the way how they both destroying things with their tools that they both prepared for this channel's purpose. With their both's yellow-black sledgehammer that they owned since those two Destroying A CRT TV videos that they both made in 2011, this channel becomes very iconic for destroying stuffs and entertain every viewers at the same time, such as myself. From what I remembered, this channel also have several funny moments that happens in most of their both's destruction videos. So, here are the funny moments about them that I remembered:

• Most of destruction videos that they both made involved some of their own laughs for a moment for various reasons. For instance, in Magnavox TV Destruction, Shawn laughed after Matt broke the CRT TV's screen with a hammer. Also, in Dell Computer Destruction 4, they just laughed after Shawn knocked the whole computer set down, during the computer itself got BSOD due to he pulled a cable that was connected into a hard drive with a plier before.
• In Cordless Phone Destruction, Matt just got hurt and said "AAAWW!!!", during he tried to broke it open and stepped it over. Although Shawn also said that due to he got hit by a piece of plastic that came from the unit itself during Matt tried to chop it off into pieces with a hatchet.
• In Dishwasher Destruction, Shawn just tripped during he tried to mess around with the dishwasher's front panel itself that being destroyed by Matt. It also happened again later in Payphone Destruction, during he tried to pull the payphone itself, then he just tripped that caused Matt laughed so hard.
• In the later part of Microwaving A USB Hub, Matt threw a microwave's plate then it shattered into many pieces, and they said "Oops!". It also happened again later in Jack In The Box In The Microwave, Matt just simply dropped the microwave's plate off the camera, then he laughed hard.
• In Elmo vs Lawn Mower, Shawn just got hit by an Elmo that being spun with a drill that Matt had fun with them. It also happened again later in Front Load Washer Destruction, during Matt tried to "remove" that knob of the machine's itself with a mini sledgehammer, the thing itself just flew straight off into Shawn that caused him got hurt.
• In Toilet Destruction, this was where Matt laughed so ridiculously, yet constantly in most of the parts, especially during they both tried to break the toilet itself.
• In Dryer Destruction, Matt just laughed so hard during he tried to roll Shawn inside a dryer's drum, and it actually did happen that caused him hurt for a little.
• In the same destruction video where Shawn got hurt by a front load washing machine's knob, Matt just laughed because Shawn had some "dance" on the top of the machine itself.
• In Small CRT TV In The Microwave, during they both tried to destroy the TV itself, they decided to finish it off with some firecrackers. The second one was the best; that caused the microwave's door blew off straight into the camera and they both laughed so hard.

3. Advantages and disadvantages

a. Advantages

• They both have a bunch of tools to destroy stuffs. Ranging from normal tools (such as few hammers, sledgehammer, axe, baseball bat, etc), to power tools (such as drill, chainsaw [only seen once], reciprocating saw, band saw, mitre saw, etc).
• They both have some stuffs to set them on fire, such as lighter, propane torch, firecrackers, thermite, and certain spray applicators that makes a homemade flamethrower (such as deodorant, bug spray, etc).
• They both have their own typical humour that causes every audience who watches their destruction videos gets entertained yet laughed rather than depressed or making some hate comments on them both (although this isn't the case if they still hating them, sometimes). Especially for Matt's laughs in most of the videos.
• Their destruction videos always have a typical intro of their destruction videos of their respective items themselves, since that TV/VCR Destruction video, except for extra stuffs.
• Shawn has a knowledge about electronic stuffs, so there's no question if he knows about how he and Matt destroys stuffs or have fun with electronics, such as certain videos like Small 12V Transformer Burnout, Fun With MOT, and so on.
• Doll House Fire is the most popular video that they both uploaded.

b. Disadvantages

• No channel's description at all, just blank.
• It only have subscribers less than 100K (but it's okay to me).
• Matt doesn't have his personal YouTube channel.
• Most of the videos only got so few views, especially very old videos when Shawn only recorded the footage with his old analog camcorder.
• The greatest disadvantage among all of them, which is how they both don't upload destruction videos quite often. It happens since late of 2017, where they both already moved into their new location in order to make more of their both's advanced destruction videos.

So, there you have it for how much specialty about me with those two guys that is well-known for destroying stuffs, including electric fans that I mentioned before. I don't think if I will make another one of this kind of post about specific YouTube channel like this, though... And that's all from what I can say about this channel, and thanks for reading this post.

ANSWERS:

1. Original PC and GOTY versions, and recently, Android free versions.
2. That HD version of the game (the one that is optimized for iPads or tablets).
3. NES/Famicom bootleg of the game, and some bootleg Plants vs. Zombies games that I mentioned on that Bootleg Plants vs. Zombies games... post.
4. Zombotany, It's Raining Seeds, Seeing Stars, Big Trouble Little Zombie, Whack A Zombie, and Last Stand.
5. Well, sometimes when I'm bored.
6. Yes, I do. I play it so often because I can plant plants with my determined setup that I always planned in each of the Survival modes. Of course it depends on what zombies that I have to fight against them in each of the modes themselves.
7. Repeater (including it's upgrade plant). However, in Plants vs. Zombies 2, I don't use it so often due to there are lot of alternative plants that do their job better than the plant itself.
8. Melon-pult (including it's upgrade plant). However, in Plants vs. Zombies 2, I don't use it so often due to I prefer it to Winter Melon for obvious reasons, but I sometimes use it in most of the levels, so.
9. 
10. Overall, this is a very good original game to play. However, I only play it just on my spare time when I'm bored or no chores available that involve my computer.
11. Just Android version of the game.
12. Save Our Seeds (unless they're hard enough to protect), Locked and Loaded (unless they're hard to use certain plants that they given), and Dave's mold colonies (unless they're placed everywhere on the lawn).
13. Any Premium Plant Quest of the money or gem premium plants that I have, and recently, Inzanity epic quests.
14. "Don't let zombies trample the flowers" objective. Unless the flowers are planted way closer to the player's house.
15. So far, Wild West - Day 35.
16. Highway to the Danger Room, Arthur's Challenge, and Tiki Torch-er.
17. Probably the Arma-mint, but I'm not sure, due to I still don't familiar with them yet for obvious reasons.
18. Between Sun-shroom or Primal Sunflower.
19. Recently, Sap-fling.
20. Snow Pea (albeit it's so weak in the game), Starfruit (in terms of performance), and Cactus (again, in terms of performance).
21. Squash (in terms of performance), Fire Peashooter, and Sap-fling.
22. Very hard to determine, but my favorite world in Plants vs. Zombies 2 is Frostbite Caves (despite it's medium difficulty).
23. 
24. Some Neon Mixtape Tour jams.
25. This game is very good to play, although there are lot of difficulties of how to make the game runs fairly well in most of the devices... Also, it depends on which game modes on it that I can beat them with ease... And also, it depends on how strong the plants are, because if you want to amplify the levels on each of the plants, I have to play the game quite often in order to collect some more coins and spend some coins on each of the plants that are ready to be increased on their next levels of each of them.
26. Unfortunately, no, I don't. It's because I'm suck with that card-based game with this game's theme, so I don't think I will play it so often, although I still keep the app itself on my phone.
27. I used to watch them, but since I watched many videos by various YouTubers of non-Plants vs. Zombies stuffs (such as electric fans, stuff destructions, fake console reviews, etc), I don't think I will watch them back, except for that Peashooter gestures video.
28. Peashooter (obviously), Sunflower, Rose, and Kernel Corn (in terms of performance).
29. Not much I can say about that game since they shut it down in October of 2014. It was a reasonably fine game, anyway.
30. Yes, I do. I did that once with Plants vs. Zombies 2, by doing so between my old phone and my current phone. I did follow the guide from this page, and it turned out worked just fine. Albeit the game itself has the way how to restore my previous game's progress from my old phone to my current phone, I already done that first by doing so using a data file.
31. Those PVC toys that looks like these:

    

    (Well, the one on the center is slightly less common than the others)

32. Those crappy bootleg Lego Plants vs. Zombies nonsense garbage. Not sure about those that looks legit that are directly made in China.
33. Probably those Diamond Select Toys, but they're too fancy to me.
34. K'NEX, despite it's cheap quality, but they're valuable to me (especially for the plants).
35. Possibly all of my Peashooters in my collection are my favorites (except one). Plus, most of the plants as well.
36. plants vs zombies toys, plants vs zombies figures, plants vs zombies knex, pvz toy, pvz toys, pvz knex, pvz k'nex, kfc plants vs zombies, lego plants vs zombies, lego pvz, plants vs zombies animation, pvz animation, etc.
37. Yes, I do. I already featured it on my bonus part of Your electric fan videos these days... post.
38. Expensive price of most of the stuffs, difficulty of how I get them, and various other weaknesses of me collecting them.
39. Yes, I do, which is this one:
40. Recently, there was a Plants vs. Zombies geek complained about me in my YouTube channel of fans about why I'm using my current profile picture like so... He said to me in one of my fan video's comment section like this: "Really dumb". Then, I replied to him, and he replied me back like this: "It's just the fan moving!" blah blah blah... Well, that's one example of weakness of my YouTube channel of fans. The other one was some weirdo asked me about my profile picture some years ago... Overall, that's two weaknesses of my YouTube channel of fans, but it's rarely happened, unless there's another Plants vs. Zombies geek suddenly visits my channel of fans and posts some hate comments on them.

Enjoy!

You => stuff destruction videos on YouTube...

As you may think about these picture collages there, yes, I'm enjoying many videos of the stuff destruction videos on YouTube lately... From very popular ones, into less popular ones, and many reasons about why I watching many YouTube videos about those... "Why you just watch any of those stuff destruction videos on YouTube?" Well, I'm gonna share the reasons here about why I'm doing so, from my story about why I just watching them, frequently asked questions about me with them, and list of YouTubers of them and I've watched them already (although there are more of those destruction videos on YouTube that are exists). So, here's my big bucket of story, FAQs, and list about them, and let's start reading them right now:

1. Story

Since I liked electric fans, I decided to screw around on YouTube and searching some of local electric fan videos on it. From the Indonesian local ones, into some of the foreign ones. During I was wandering some of both electric fan and ceiling fan videos on YouTube, I "accidentally" watch my very first stuff destruction video on YouTube, which was this one:

Yes, this was my very first stuff destruction that I ever watched on YouTube. Then, I watched several more of the fan destruction videos on YouTube, and (unfortunately), I went watching even more stuff destruction videos on YouTube rather than just fans, such as destroying TV, computer, speaker, game console, and many more items that they destroyed per each of their YouTube channels. As the time goes, the ones that I watched are even more crazier. In 2015, for example, rather than standard stuff destruction videos, I've just watched certain of stuff destruction videos that looks and sounds too excessive, such as Angry Grandpa shows, TechRax, McJuggerNuggets, or even HowToBasic (albeit most of them were staged). However, I can balance them by watching some other YouTube videos such as my usual things (electric fans and toys), and those standard stuff destruction videos. There are many alternatives of stuff destruction videos out there on YouTube, but it depends on what channels that I'm familiar with, so... From 2016 to present, I still watch many kinds of those videos on YouTube, but again, it depends on what channels of those kinds of those things that I'm familiar with, but in way wider range of what kind of items that they destroyed in each of videos.

2. FAQs

Q: Who was your very first YouTube channel of stuff destruction videos that you ever watched, and you still subscribed it to now? 

A: Garret Claridge.

Q: Who's your favorite YouTube channel of stuff destruction videos?

A: First off, it was Garret Claridge, but now I also enjoyed certain more of those guys, such as Shawn K (S&M Destruction), and recently, Plainrock124.

Q: What's your favorite electric fan destruction videos?

A: First off, it was  "removing" a ceiling fan video by Garret Claridge, but now I prefer it to Shawn K's ceiling fan destruction trilogy. Also, I enjoyed some more of electric fan destruction videos, but as long as they don't destroy anything that looks rare or vintage.

Q: What's your favorite tools in most of those destruction videos?
A: I used to hardly determine this question at the start against those though (especially in my very early days with them), but since I'm too much watching them nowadays (sometimes), probably my favorite tools for those purposes are axes and sledgehammers.

Q: What are the things that do you hate in those destruction videos?
A: Anything that makes me enraged, for example, Angry Grandpa, "Parents who destroyed their kid's X" or it's vice versa, and so on... Unless they're staged.

Q: Do you ever seen any Plants vs. Zombies toys or it's stuffed things being destroyed on YouTube?
A: Recently, I found few of them. First one, it was a Threepeater toy being sliced by 1000 degree hot knife. Secondly, it was few of cheap Plants vs. Zombies popper toys being destroyed with a shredder. Thirdly, somebody destroyed very... very cheap bootleg Angry Birds Plants vs. Zombies sets by simply ripping and cutting the sets off into many pieces. Not sure about some official ones being destroyed by any means, though.

Q: In your opinion, mention some of very popular YouTubers that are identical to this purpose!
A: HowToBasic (very obviously, especially for newer ones that involve tons of jump cuts), TechRax (including some of his rivals like GizmoSlip, and so on), and recently, Plainrock124 (albeit he looks like some sort of best alternative to me).

Q: How do you know those YouTubers of stuff destructions by subscribing them?
A: There are plenty of my reasons about how I did subscribe them. For instance: I subscribed Garret Claridge due to the way how he destroying stuffs are looks impressive (although I used to be mad with him by disliking some of his videos), I subscribed Shawn K (S&M Destruction) due to the way how they both destroying stuffs makes me laugh yet heals my bad days, and I subscribed Plainrock124 due to I was impressed by one of his 50 WAYS TO BREAK A ... series, including many of his Bored Smashing series.

Q: In your childhood, did you ever watch some of stuff destruction videos before you finally enjoyed them as for now?
A: Probably yes. Especially for that very old video of a man tried to beat "the world's hardest game" thing on a computer, then there was a jumpscare that caused him scared by punching the computer's monitor straight through. For the rest of them, I don't know... Probably the ones that somebody featured them in many compilations of them on YouTube (for example, a man in office enraged and destroyed a whole computer set).

Q: Did you ever post some of your hate comments on them?
A: Well, I used to do so. But now, I'm partially neutral at them, depends on how the way they destroying those items in each of the videos.

Q: Okay, since you enjoyed any kinds of stuff destruction videos on YouTube, how about TheOriginalHDChannel?
A: Hmm... First off, let's read this quote here:

"... I think they are trying to copy that one guy that use to post videos all the time smashing vintage vacuum cleaners and electronics... From what I saw, he died... It was kinda comical when he did, he would always complain while smashing something call it something ultra deluxe or the fancy model LOL.. He would torture it with the golf club, while you saw sparks coming out of something, then the words that came out his mouth would crack me up..."-Adam D. from vintageceilingfans.com's forum

Yeah, that's the traits about him that he explained to other fan lovers on that forum website there. Now, I watch some of the alternatives that are similar to that, such as smashthings1 (Robert Burgin), HPad, and probably more, but I don't know. However, I already found that guy on YouTube with those special traits that he shared them to those fan lovers in there, it's called "smashstuff31" (if I'm not mistaken). Although it has less views on each of his videos, but it's still saves a lot of memories to somebody who ever watched them by judging by those mumbo-jumbo texts on all around his videos and the way how he says and destroys stuffs on camera.

Q: Do you ever watch some reviews (or some sort of it) that involves it's destruction? If yes, mention some YouTubers who does that!
A: Yes, I do. The YouTubers who does that are: Ashens, The 8-Bit Guy (including his other channel, The 8-bit Keys), Techmoan (although only one), Rerez, and Retro Core (also only one, albeit he only destroyed one of the parts of an item just with his bare hands).

3. List of YouTubers

Here are list of YouTube channels that are well-known for stuff destruction videos. Most of them are the ones that I subscribed, and some of them aren't... So, here are list of them:

• HowToBasic,
• TechRax (including his rivals, such as GizmoSlip, JerryRigEverything, etc.),
• Plainrock124 (main alternative, including his alternate channels, such as aznguy.mp4, Ada08, etc.),
• Garret Claridge,
• Shawn K (second alternative besides Plainrock124, although his subscribers are way less than him, but his videos are pretty entertaining due to their laughs on most of his videos),
• Anything that looks identical to TheOriginalHDChannel (such as smashthings1, HPad, etc.), and
• Some channels of stuff destruction videos that has least of subscribers (or views) yet they have interesting ways to destroy items.

So, that's it about why I enjoyed them on YouTube instead of just electric fans and toys, and thanks for reading.

My non fan'n'toy favorite things...

This time, instead of explaining about fans and toys like what I usually do, I'm going to explain the non fan and toy favorite things. In my childhood, I was used to liked several of things, but not from electric fans or toys either. So, here are the things that I did put them in my favorite lists that are other than just fans and toys:

1. Lip liner pencils

As you may see on this picture here, you may think these are normal colorful pencils. No! They're lip liner pencils. I used to be obsessed by these things exactly like in the picture, back when I was in kindergarten around 2006-2007. I and my mom visited a small cosmetic shop (which was one of my mom's friends who owned it, but now she passed away), then I found those pencils in several of the catalogs. It came in pink (or known as rose), red, sierra (or red, but slightly darker), and brown. Then I got the sierra and the brown one (I think), but I really wanted the red one so bad, but they were sold out. Despite of course they were used for cosmetic purposes, but I really wanted them because they look so interesting, compared to normal colorful pencils that I usually buy from the bookstores. Not satisfied enough, I drew and color several of the silly things with these pencils, sometimes. Again I wasn't satisfied enough, I cut some of the pictures of those products out from some of the catalogs that featured them, especially the ones that had some shiny effects on them, and I pasted them on one of my old diary books. From what I'd remember, my obsession against these things were lasted during mine ones lost, and so they didn't produce them anymore. Although there was an alternative of those, out from a generic cosmetic shop with different color and style, I used to be liked it too, but not as much as those lip liner pencils, until I quit liking those things out several months later. You may ask, "There were lot of types of pencils for cosmetic purposes, which one that is your favorite the most?". Well, I would say, those just in the picture, literally. Once again, I'm so impressed by how they look, and it does make huge difference compared to the others. I did also favorite some actual famous 2B pencil brands too, but it only lasted way shorter than those. Also, I'd remember in many years ago with those 2B pencils, I used to hate it in some of my friends like this way, "If you have it, I will throw it away" and that's it.

2. Windmills

Yep, as you may know from my old "and concept" YouTube channel that I made, I used to favorite the windmills too, there are some of my videos about those, uploaded with very slow connection back in those days. Now, in this video that I put it here, this is an example about how I started liking them, and collecting them. Although I did start collecting electric fans before by mounting 5 fans in my old house (back in around of 2008), I got interrupted by these. By the start, where I visited in some kind of a pond near the rice field in 2011, then I heard some ticking can noises from far away. And it turned out, those noises were actually from those windmills, made from some waste and bamboo. Then, I inspired them by recording them, and built several of mine in front of my house, and around my old neighborhood. So, here are the videos:

Yep, there we are! Some of them had a different placement of where the windmills were mounted on, and so for the weather, time, and basically everything on each of the videos. With accompany of one of my family's relative's members, I helped with him to make them and enjoying them in my old neighborhood. We made them with some waste as well, but with bit more modern aesthetic look for them, unlike the ones at the rice fields. Some of them had the blade were made out from the PVC pipes, few of them were made from metal, and of course, bunch of them were made with fan blades. As the time being, these were famous back in the day with all of those noise makers, until I gave up 2 years later, because several of them were taken down for some maintenance issues. I did reborn windmill madness for a quite in 2013 and 2014, but it didn't result as much as in 2011, because of course, electric fans has been taken place back in my existence, but WAY in wider range.

So, there you go for my non electric fan and toy favorite things. Turns out there are just two of them here, but it's okay. Anyway, hope you can enjoy them, and thanks for reading.

Plants vs. Zombies K'NEX: My comments of those moulding goofs

Yet another K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies's Identify a specific brand thing. But this time, I will answer about most of the sentences that are from it's said game's wiki. You may know somebody added the Plants vs. Zombies K'NEX on it? If yes, go read it first before you continue read this here, scroll down to the Moulding Goofs section, and check List of Goofs. I only comment most of them, of course because I only have most of them based on those statements there. So, I'm going to comment them here, exactly on the ones that I have (I only put my favorite ones here though, so NO for zombies, they are already bad as you may expect), not in general like what the said game's wiki have on there. So, here are the statements of them:

"The stem of a Peashooter figurine can be loose from the body or leaves."

Yes, I have all 3 of them in different elements, and unfortunately, one of them doesn't come with it's own stem. Stupid person who packaged that in it's own original blind bag, ugh... And yes, the stem of them are can be loose, either from their own body or their own leaves. I experienced at 2 of them, and because I was too much love with them, those parts are loose like mad. I mean come on, everybody who made these in China must be proud by this goof. Quality is kinda 50:50 to me, but not that bad for these, I've seen worse than these. Being the results of this goof, I fixed them with different methods. One of them I fixed it with a superglue, so turns out I can't take it off due to how strong the glue is. And the other one I fixed it with a tape, and I twisted it around the bottom part of the stem, to prevent loosing it out.

Here's the one that I fixed it with a tape twisted on that part...

"Putting Cabbage-pult's head onto Cabbage-pult's cabbage peg part takes strength due to the whole inside of the head mould being more closed."

I do have that Cabbage-pult came out from the K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies Series 2 blind bag. Although I did connect the Cabbage-pult's head onto Cabbage-pult's cabbage peg normally, but it has a bit of minor goof based on the statement above here. I connected them for very first time, and it has some noises during I tried to connect them, though. For the quality, even though just the same kind of material as the Peashooter or it's frozen counterpart, it's not that bad, and it's a tiny bit heavier than them. However, this issue has been solved, due to I kept removing those parts out. Unfortunately, this lead to another problem in terms of painting, instead of this goof. Just like the Peashooter ones (exception for the transparent ones), if you have too much playing with them, their body themselves started to blacking out for a tiny bit, so there's no way to fix it, unless I have to paint it over.

So, that's my comment about them, and thanks for reading.

Plants vs. Zombies K'NEX: Specific of the P's...

I suppose you may enjoyed My Plants vs. Zombies collection series, and some other post that I've posted as well. This time, yet another Identify a specific brand type Plants vs. Zombies's messing around things, and I'd like to share it again about an unique type of the Plants vs. Zombies toy figures that are being sold anywhere in USA, K'NEX. "Hey dude! You already featured it in another post!"  Well, it is, but I'm going to explain them by myself about one of my most loved type of K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies plant figures instead of my story between me and this Plants vs. Zombies toy figure brand, of course I won't be happy without them, Peashooters.

1. General

These plants are known for attacking zombies with their pea projectiles, and K'NEX decided to make certain amount of the peashooting plants from those series of the game themselves by converting them into K'NEX figures. Now, currently there are 5 variant of them. First off, there was a regular Peashooter, then followed by it's ice counterpart, as well as the fire counterpart of it, and lastly, even some Garden Warfare variants, which kinda interesting. For description of each of them based on their parts, here are the lists of them, so:

• Peashooter: Has light green body, dark green on the leaf, and so the rest of the parts.
• Snow Pea: Has blue body, and so the projectile. Instead on the green leaf on the back part, it's just piece of the icicles, but still retains the dark green color on the rest of the parts as well.
• Fire Peashooter: Exact same thing as regular one, but it's in all translucent red, except for the "leaf" that supposed to be a piece of fire like in the actual game itself, and so the projectile itself, which are in translucent yellow.
• Peashooter from Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare 2: Almost all of the parts are dark green, and still retains the exact same shape of the head, except it has larger eyes and green eyebrows. It also has a different style of the stem and the bottom portion as well, because the way how it's designed based on that third-person shooter game.
• Plasma Pea: Again, exact same thing as the previous one, except it's different in terms of colors. Translucent purple for a whole plant itself, eyes are white with blue ring but no eyebrows, and so the projectile.

2. Building sets that features them:

• Peashooter: Series 1 blind bags (Common) and Wild West Skirmish Set
• Snow Pea: Series 2 blind bags (Elite)
• Fire Peashooter: Series 3 blind bags (Elite)
• Peashooter from Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare 2: Series 4 blind bags (Rare) and Boat Blast Building Set
• Plasma Pea: Series 5 blind bags (Elite)

3. Specific things

These K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies toy figures are one of the best toy figures that you'll probably pick in most of the products of them that K'NEX offers to the consumers, especially for the blind bags, if you're lucky enough to get one or more. Compared to those Chinese cheap ones, these do look pretty outstanding. In terms of how they look, even though they're still not great as they're still made in China, the design of those plants are always in their top notch of the official toy figures, so what more do you want to them though. Then, to make the matters better, the style of their heads are considered good, even with some minor errors and defective parts. From their snouts until their back parts, they do look very nice, because the snout looks so relatively thick compared to other Plants vs. Zombies's toy brands (well, Jazwares and DST are the close ones to these, in terms on the same sizes), so they do make a difference which are pretty decent. The great bonus about them are of course they can shoot projectiles, hence why their snouts look so "versatile". By pulling their leafs as a trigger on the back part, or either flick to shoot projectiles, even though they only load one projectile. However, they provides the projectile more than one, so it's a good sign if you lost one. There is also a K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies toy figure which shares the same trait as these, which is Coconut Cannon, but it's not the same type of the plant that are mentioned here, as in fact it's based on a coconut, not a pea. However, the size of those projectiles of it is a tiny bit larger, because again, that's the way how it designed to work like in the actual video game itself.

4. Trivia

• Since K'NEX has a feature to mount them on Lego-based parts, these plants do have their bottom portion adaptor to mount on them as well, so don't bother.
• Sometimes the projectile just stuck inside the shooter themselves and barely works at all, but it's rarely happened in all 5 plants that mentioned here.
• These models of the peashooting plants are only the model that can't be ripped off by any other toy companies or factories so far. However, some years ago in Alibaba.com, there is a loose ripoff of those that looks like this:

  

  See? It looks like those but with larger body, different leaf on the back part, and it looks like it shoots softer projectiles instead of hard plastic. Unfortunately, it doesn't have the stem and the base, and there is no clue to mass producing them

• Every normal K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies's peashooting plants (normal Peashooter, Snow Pea and Fire Peashooter) always have an unique numbers on their base itself, it says 2926. It's unknown what does it mean, probably it refers to a code of the factory who made customized OEM figures in certain designs, guts of how it works and sizes such as those. However, in most of K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies figures, it says 2928, and so on, followed by other K'NEX video game based franchises, if you found those numbers already.
• If you look closely at projectiles, and take a look at their hollowed up guide holes, there is a random alphabetic letters such as B, C, D, N, X, and so on. It does happen with the Sunflower as well, as that plant also included them. It's also unknown what does they mean.
• Sometimes the connection between the stem and the base themselves are loose, especially for normal K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies's peashooting plants in all 3 elements.
• If you look closely on random of YouTube videos or random pictures on internet about these normal K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies's peashooting plants, sometimes the stem on them does look thick, and sometimes quite thin. However, it is rarely happened in Snow Pea, which always come with quite thin stem per each blind bag that contains it.
• The eyes on most of them sometimes look larger than they should, especially for early mass reproductions of the normal K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies's peashooting plants, back when Peashooter still wrapped inside the tissue bag in the blind bag series.
• Every plants always have their specific watermark of them. Each of them says: (CE logo), Made in China, 2014(C) K'NEX LPG. For these plants, these watermarks are printed on the bottom part, just behind the hole where you connect their stems with.
• The new Peashooter from Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 was supposed to be have a green ring on his eyes. But, K'NEX didn't apply it to them, and just replaced it with larger black eyes with a tiny white dot on the center of their eyes.
• It's unknown why actual Plasma Pea made by this company also have one missing parts in terms of painting, which are eyebrows.

How I officially started liking electric fans...

I'm sure you may enjoyed my YouTube channel of electric fans that I recorded from various places like my own home, my family relatives, public places and such more. This time, I will explain about the main key of why I liked electric fans alot as for now, so here is the story about me with them.

It isn't my intention to love electric fans like now because while I was on my childhood, especially when I was 7 years old, I was scared by certain types of electric fans, such as industrial wall fans that are larger than 10", industrial stand fans are larger than 16", ceiling fans that wobbled badly, decorative ceiling fans with light kits, and some orbit ceiling fans that blow ton of air. The reason why I dodged certain types of electric fans, because I was afraid if I would think the fan would "chase" myself with their excellent air delivery, and for ceiling fans, I would think they will fall. However, those problems were gone after I got several of the fans that I owned in my old house.

By the start, I collected few fans like wall fans, exhaust fan, and several of mini ceiling fans around 2008 to 2009, mainly the oldie style mini ceiling fans in one room, which is in front part of my old house, except for the exhaust fan (installed on my room). I operated them everyday back in those days, until I got bored by them several months later. I collected those fans because I was inspired by my old helicopter toy, every time I played with it, (probably) I played it in upside down, much like a tiny ceiling fan, from what I'd remembered many years ago. Then, while I started to bored by those electric fans that I collected many years ago, I moved some of my mini ceiling fans to their bedrooms (just for their temporary installs), and I still fascinated by them, until they broke the blades down.

However, in 2010 towards to 2011, I stopped loving electric fans for a while due to I was so fascinated by certain stuffs no matter what kinds are, especially Upin & Ipin and homemade windmills. The reason why I stopped it due to I was mad by them, back when I adored Upin & Ipin quite a lot, not sure why. For the homemade windmills, I loved them too because during I visited on the fishing pond near a rice field, there were few homemade windmills through the rice field. So, few days later I visited the same rice field with several windmills in them, I decided to took some pictures and videos about them, and imitate them by making some of them out from the waste, and placed it around my old neighborhood. So, my favorite things around those good old times on this era were Upin & Ipin and homemade windmills, until I got bored by them in 2012, back when I started playing Plants vs. Zombies.

In 2013 until now, I decided to love my electric fans yet again, but in WAY wider range, because of course involves the internet, so I can meet everybody who also loving electric fans too around the world. At first, I searched some keywords about electric fans in generic way, but it turned out great when I was messing around with YouTube about them, especially for who collected them. Then, I decided to record my first video of electric fans, which were ceiling fans. So, here is my video of it:

Although I recorded them only about few seconds, but this is where my legend was born. Then, I took some more pictures and videos about them in various public places that I encountered on my hometown, uploaded them, and it turned out great! Other than those, I commented few guest videos of electric fans, mainly collectors, although I commented in the silly way in my earlier days of me with them, but again, it turned out great as well! Also, it looks even more greater if I can find my favorite types of electric fans, especially those vintage industrial ceiling fan with flat motor's bottom portion and "ice cream cone shaped" canopies that I found them around internet. Until now, I still loved electric fans though, but it depends on my parent's activities to visit certain public places that has some electric fans on them. One more question you may ask, how about everybody who liking electric fans too? Answer is, yes. So, I can't believe it if I'm not only the one who liking, and collecting electric fans as well.

So, there you have it, guys, this is how I officially started liking electric fans... Hope you enjoy it!

Finally survived for 5 years!

Some of you may remember my most loved Plants vs. Zombies toys, this time I have to restore them back on their maximum setting. These are Plants vs. Zombies from the KFC in my country, back in around May of 2013.

Just take look at my posts, called This is what happens if KFC provided PvZ toys and series of My Plants vs. Zombies collection, in fact these are the ones that I very wanted so bad, and I have to tell them again and again as the flashback story about the toys here. By the start, here are the following characters that were featured in KFC in their old days:

• Peashooter on Pumpkin
• Cabbage-pult
• Sunflower, and
• Zombies in Skull (Dr. Zomboss on a Zombot's head, literally)

I really like them very much on these toys, because other than they look very cool, the plants are look almost realistic as the game itself that made me jealous very badly. Meanwhile, I have no idea about the "Zombies in Skull" toy, because I'm not really keen on the zombies, so I only care about the plants, like what I collected usually... So, let's take look at those good old times of me where this commercial exists on the TV:

Yes, this was where I wanted to start my Plants vs. Zombies collection in reality (also during the early days of playing the original Plants vs. Zombies game), when I was mad collecting Angry Birds egg containers, and those crappy Plants vs. Zombies pictures taken from the photo shop. I really wanted them, but my parents don't know about those toys as I played the original game of it. After those reasons, those weren't exist on the KFC anymore, and they became scarce very quickly that made me cry. Although my parents recommended to buy the alternatives, but I wasn't keen by them, so.

Some KFC Plants vs. Zombies toys in my old friend's house. Notice for the Dailymotion player, due to somebody reposted it on this site

After a long time ago I felt sad due to no those things, in July of 2014 I found 3 of those my most loved things in my old friend's house, in one of the bedrooms. I found them because I was looking for their house by looking at several of the rooms, then during I explored one of the bedrooms, I found them! Even with Peashooter missed it's own Pumpkin part to shoot it's own flat projectiles, and so it's own projectile. The Cabbage-pult missed it's own projectile as well, and the Sunflower was still intact. There was no Zombies in Skull there, probably due to the owners lost it, so. Then, I borrowed the Cabbage-pult home for a review.

The Cabbage-pult that I borrowed from my old friend's house's owner

After I babysat it for 3 months due to the owner were searching it, I returned it back to them. Unfortunately, after I returned it not too long later on, those toys were destroyed by their kids by slammed them down from their 2-story house, right from balcony. I feel bad for those toys, as well hurting my ass off for not allowed to get my those of my most loved toys, due to a blatant evidence, those aren't mine. I was once attempted to borrow the other toys like Peashooter on Pumpkin and Sunflower, but I didn't due to that reason. So, it meant there were no more of the toys after all. However, some days later there were the sequel version of the Plants vs. Zombies toys from KFC, but they didn't interest me as much as the ones from 2013, and I owned them for the alternatives. Here are the toys that I mentioned:

KFC Plants vs. Zombies 2 toys

But, after 2 years later with nothing from them other than the sequel ones, finally I found them from 2 separate persons who kept all 4 toys from a social media and an online shop. Here we are:

With all of my effort getting all of my loved Plants vs. Zombies toys from the past where the TV commercial of them were exists, finally those are came to my house for a relatively cheap price! Based on series of My Plants vs. Zombies collection, one of them was from the online shop, and the rest of them were from a social media who kindly kept them. Then, I had a chance of getting them with all complete parts and good conditions, then it's all done! I really loved them so bad, more than the other Plants vs. Zombies toys that I collect, and sometimes I want to sleep with them, so (well, not for Zombies in Skull). So, my most favorite from all of them, of course.......... Peashooter on Pumpkin, followed by Sunflower, Cabbage-pult, and Zombies in Skull (well, not really). More pictures of them (except for Zombies in Skull, yet again for similar reason):

So, that's all of the 5th anniversary of my most loved Plants vs. Zombies toys from KFC, back in May of 2013. Too bad if KFC didn't make them anymore, unless you really wanted them so bad like me. From what I can learn by during the time I visited my old friend's house, I will never abuse them due to their rarity, although I accidentally vanish the paint out from them for a tiny bit, like eyes, eyebrows and the stickers. Also, I would nominate it as the best Plants vs. Zombies toys in my collection, followed by K'NEX (although they're cheaper than these, but it does fall on the list of my most favorite Plants vs. Zombies toys), and KFC Plants vs. Zombies 2.

My action figure toy collection

For my Plants vs. Zombies collection, click here

Hi guys, are you a kind of a figure toy collector? If yes, I'm going to list some of my toy collection. For some reason, I didn't list the Plants vs. Zombies again in this blog, because I already did a deep blog about it since it's my favorite game. So, here are some of my toys:

1. Angry Birds

3 of my Angry Birds figures (actually they are an egg chocolate surprise container)

This was my first figure toys that I ever collected, and these are from the Gery Bischoc, a kind of the chocolate biscuit brand. It came with a just an egg container with that theme. For the first time, I bought the first three (red, blue and yellow) back in 2012. It's due to commercial in TV that made me interested. Then, in early 2013, I just bought some more of it, such as the red and the new black one, since I'm also interested with them due to a new commercial about them in TV. Even I started to liked the Plants vs. Zombies more, I still kept any of them until I moved to my new house. Next, after several months later, exactly at the end of the 2013, I bought some of them, like the another black and the blue one. Last but not at least,  I also bought the bigger red one, in early of 2014. Each of the containers has a different toys, and also a Gery Bischoc pack as well.

The weakness of them:

• The quality of these containers seems low.
• The black feather parts are easy to lost.

2. KFC Pokemon Pikachu

KFC Pokemon Pikachu 

Here is my other figure that I collect, and also this is my first actual figure toy that I bought from the KFC. Even I'm not a fan of this character, but I liked the performance alot. If you play it, just push the tail to lob the electro balls. Just let you know, if I bought this back from March 2014, and these things were gone forever later on.

The weakness of it:

• There are no KFC mark, instead just a "Made In China" only.

 3. KFC Spiderman 2, Yoyo with Fins

I just bought a pair of those top spinners from KFC, from May 2014. These are from the Spiderman 2. Even this isn't one of my favorites besides Plants vs. Zombies, I still liked the performance as well. If you play it, just like what you do in the generic top spinner toys, except the fins will be released after you pull it down. For some reason why I bought two, because I gave another one to my cousin. Sadly, my cousin broke it some weeks later.

The weakness of it:

• The quality of this toy seems a bit low.

Actually, there are many toys in my collection since our childhood. But, I only picked up 3 of them because they are one of the best besides the Plants vs. Zombies ones.

Top 3 our places with a huge amount of the ceiling fans!

Before you read this, you must check my Youtube channel here.

Based on my Youtube channel, here is our top 3 places with a huge amount of the ceiling fans. Even this is not too much like one of my friends who did same thing too (recording ceiling fans), but nevermind. For who don't know where I live, I live at Tulungagung, the city with a well-known as a marble art and crafts in East Java. Although there is only one that shows the pictures and videos of that, but it's okay, too. Here we go! Started with the lower, to the highest.

#3 KDK and Panasonic orbit ceiling fans, at a textile store

These fans are located at a textile restaurant, called "Wijaya", which is located at a Jln. Teuku Umar. There are 13 orbit fans in total. Actually, the Panasonic are the newer fans installed in there, and the KDKs are the old fans (were installed while the building was opened for the first time. However, from what I'd remember, one of the KDKs has unoriginal blades, which is red, because unknown. By the way, this is only the store that has huge amount of the ceiling fans, even in my "12 various of orbit fans at a shop" video almost reached this top 3.

#2 Uchida Milenium industrial ceiling fans, at a grilled chicken restaurant

These fans are located at a restaurant called "Ayam Bakar Bu Mamik", which is located at a Jln. Jaksa Agung Suprapto, just next to the shoe store that had a pair of 48" Alaska/Maspion industrial ceiling fans. There are 18 (probably), and 8 of them were installed in the hall of the restaurant, and the others were installed on the restaurant part. 

#1 Panasonic and National industrial ceiling fans, at an electronic store

So far, and so far, this is only place that has a LOT amount of the ceiling fans, and with a neat installation. These fans are located at an electronic store, called "Samodra", located at Jln. Basuki Rahmat. However, this place was the former of the bookstore, but it was switched places...

There are 26 of them, and they're branded National. Most of them the model of these fans are F-EY149-2s (PT. National Gobel made), and the rest are F-560A1s (a Japanese made, Matsushita). However, one of them has been replaced by a Panasonic industrial, model F-EY153. There are 3 columns of them, The first one contains 9 fans, the second one (which shown in this picture above) contains 11 fans, and the last column only contains 5 fans. Also, there is one more fan installed outside the store. Each column has a different models as well, the first column contains 4 F-EY149-2s, and 5 F-560A1s, the second column contains 1 F-EY153, 5 F-EY149-2s, and 5 F-560A1, and the last column contains 3 F-EY149-2s, and 2 F-560A1s.

Here are some other pictures of it:

The fans on the last column, at the back part

One of the F-560A1 on the first column

A Panasonic F-EY153 replaced one of the Nationals

A National F-EY149-2 installed outside (notice the KDK canopies)
