Hello, once again YouTube and welcome back to the Doh main. It's only a few days until the Christmas Toy Mation first finally draws to a close. And I'm here today to tell you that we have 108 entries into this year's competition, which is incredible. I'm really happy, particularly like it, the crazy thing about this competition is all of the entries come in within the last like three days. It looks like we have no entries and then everybody just submits, because of course they want to work up until the deadline. But no, we're here. We've got all the entries in 108 and some of them are crazy. I've made sure to only skim around the entries so I don't watch them so I don't spoil the surprise. But the things I've seen, oh man. So I'm here today to give you some more details on the Christmas Toy Mation first, what you can expect on the livestream this Sunday and some other details as well. But first, I want to start by thanking you all for more support and more subscribers on my new channel, Simon Says. It's a completely different video format and I feel like I'm in my element with it. Already, I've been heavily invested in new lighting and new camera rigs. You can even see one of these beautiful little LEDs changing colors behind me. I've been investing and I've been spending like all my time making videos. I've got a video every single day this week as well as a Simon Says. And the last Simon Says that came out yesterday was 23 minutes long. And I recommend you enjoy it as a podcast as something on in the background and we talk about a few sensitive issues including mental health awareness. It's really something that I'm so passionate about and based on the comments that I've seen you guys are passionate about it too. So I wanted to thank you for more support on Simon Says. I'm gonna be giving away another lights of Sanghilius. I know these are hard to get your hands on and I do have a few left over. So to win this lights of Sanghilius all you need to do is check out the newest video on Simon Says link down below. I'll add all the links in the description and the comments. Check the link. Check my new channel like my newest video. Watch it through and then just tell me something that you liked or didn't like about it. Maybe something that you learned from it or maybe you wanna open up about your own experiences with the topics COVID in the video. Either way just leave a comment and a like on my newest video, subscribe. And I'll choose a winner to send this lights of Sanghilius to free of charge later in the week. Thank you all very much. So the Christmas Toy Nation Fest 2022. I can't believe it's finally come into an end. And 108 entries is awesome. It is still great to see that no matter how many obstacles come in the way of this community, no matter how many obstacles come in the way of Halo and Halo Infinite, the community is still really well and alive and it's great to see. You would think or like you'd worry that when 343 and Halo Infinite fails, the community goes with it, but that's clearly not the case. Like I'm having a really great month on YouTube views wise. Like I know that things are just continuing to take along. People still love the product and people still have a love for Halo even if the game isn't doing so well. So it's great to see 108 entries still come in and some of them, like I said, are insane quality and I cannot wait to share all of them with you and here is how you can check them all out. So the judging for this contest will take place this Sunday and we've got a great lineup of judges including Chunky Chief, Toe of Ultimate Doom, Demarcation Media, Silly Sam and Inc. Squishy, Toils and Toe and Mega Chief Constructs creator, Noble Six Originals. We got a great pool of judges. So we're all gonna sit on Skype together and we're going to broadcast our Skype call to you guys. You'll be able to see my face and hear everybody else's audio and we're going to one by one look through every single one of the animations. As we're looking through, make nice comments, we'll give good feedback. You'll be able to see the animations on the screen. It'll be as interactive as possible and we'll also be running random competitions and giveaways during the live stream. It's gonna be many hours long and you can check the link to it in the description and the comments down below. The live stream is already scheduled for this Sunday and if you click the link, you can see what scheduled time or what time zone this live stream is gonna start for you. And it's gonna be really fun. I really look forward to these live streams every year. It's the third time we've done it where we've watched through every single one. And it's such a blast. It's such a great coming together of the community. As the judges are watching through these entries, we're gonna give them a rating between one and five stars. That'll be discrete you won't see which is gonna be writing them down, which number which entry and a star from one to five. And once the live stream ends, we're gonna come off that live stream. We're gonna discuss together and we're gonna decide the winners. The first, second and third place. We're then going to collate 20 entries together that we really liked and we're gonna send them over to Jan and Kevin at mega themselves. And they're going to choose some honorable mentions with some extra categories that they come up with. And we're gonna ship all of those prizes off to you guys and long live the Christmas Toy Nation Fest. And the first place of this competition will be crowned the official non-official continuation of the assault on Squad 45 story. What a legacy, what a great time. I also wanted to give a quick throwback to an old video I filmed in Hong Kong. It was called the assault on Squad 45 is Raw Nostalgia and oh man, I was rocking the most beautiful mustache in those times, I too missed that mustache. I also played the character of Nommie's Yek who was aboard the pillar of autumn as it left reach. And it was sort of meant to be an interactive story that continued over episodes and episodes where I would like be on a green screen in the events of all the different Halo games. I've had many weird ideas over the time. So I will see you guys this Sunday for the judging of the Christmas Toy Nation Fest. It's pretty much the event of the year for Mega Construct. And remember starting this Friday is the voting for the Mega Fan Vote Part Three. You'll be able to vote on coatings to go on a new Warthog, Mungoos, and then Fire Teams a voting taking place week after week. And there'll be a YouTube shot from me going out on Friday with all the instructions of how to vote. You can check out my upload from two days ago on exactly the details of this event. A lot is going on right now. It's a good time to be a Mega Fan and remember the new Mega Fan Vote ships worldwide on Mattel Creations. It's a great way for Mattel to tackle distribution head-on. If you want to win this lights of Saint Helios, check out my newest Simon Says video. Just like the video, subscribe, and comment with what you enjoyed or your own perspective or some constructive feedback whatever you want to do. And thank you so much, like so, so much for the support on Simon Says. It is such an incredible direction that I want to take my life. And I like, I honestly have not felt this fired up to make videos like I edited and worked for like 13 hours yesterday. I'm just like very firstly motivated. So thank you guys for that. And one last shout out to my patron. You guys are the best. Starting this week, the patrons themselves can decide which video I release of a list of 73 unedited unreleased videos. This week, the winning vote went to a jazzware haul that me and Strandy got about a year ago now. And that video is going to come out next week.

So shout out to you all. Yes, say awesome. You stay. Oh, so super duper safe out there. The domain is signing off. Check out Simon Says and good luck to all the toy machine fest entries. I'll see you this Sunday.
