Welcome to the ElfQuest Collector's Guide
showcasing a different collectible or
unboxing video in every episode! I'm your
pack leader for this hunt, Mandy
Roncalio-Meyer, or as a known around the
ElfQuest Web world as my elf-self, Shadowfire.
today I actually have a very special
unboxing! I got sent some Christmas
presents from some other ElfQuest fans!
I don't know what's in these boxes so it's
going to be a surprise, obviously! I'm--I'm
hoping there's ElfQuest stuff in here, i don't know.
i'm going to appreciate whatever I get!
but I have a feeling there might be some
ElfQuest stuff in here, so i thought i might
share this with you guys. ahh--part of this
was also, um... a part of the "Secret Jolly
Ol' High-Thing" event that we started
in the ElfQuest Collectors Unite group on Facebook.
umm... it was a Secret Santa event! and it was our
first one in the group! it went over
amazingly! it was awesome! everybody had a
lot of fun,
they got some really cool gifts passed
around, um-- and I'm excited to see what i got!
uh-- my co-host for the event was Amber Payne.
some people around the ElfQuest groups on
Facebook probably know her, she also
likes to do unboxing videos in the
collector group. um-- but she was my Secret
Santa, of sorts. her and i were the co-hosts
and so to make things easy,
we decided that we would re--uh-- gift each
other, just keep all the secrecy easier
for everyone else.
so Amber and I gifted each other, while
everybody else's "Santa's" or "Secret Jolly
Ol' High-Things" were kept secret
from them until they received their gifts...
and I think even some people still don't know
who they got gifts from! but in any case,
it was a really awesome event! uh-- it was a
great show of generosity within the tribe!
i was very proud to see how awesome and
generous fans can be to each other when
we-- when we care, when we love each other,
when we try to do good! this was our
first gift-giving event, it-- like i said
it went over amazingly! so I'm hoping to
do more in the future! so if you're part
of the ElfQuest Collectors Unite group on
Facebook, keep an eye out! i'm hoping to
do more events like that! anyway so this
was my secret gift-- Secret Santa gift.
I can't wait to see what Amber sent me!
of course obviously I know who sent it to me, but...
she wrote on it, I don't want to read it
because it's private messages to me, but
I'm very happy with it. i'll read a couple
of them... uumm...
"I'm i hope you enjoy these gifts!"
"Happy Howl-idays"
"AYOOOOOOAHHHH!!"
uhhh-- Chieftess Midnight Moon aka Amber
to Chieftess Shadowfire AKA Mandy!
just fun stuff like that! anyway, but you know
i thought i'd show this to see-- to show
everybody what fun little mail things we
do within the fandom as well, so!
here we go, what did i get?
oh, I see something by Wendy Pini!
*gasp*
NO WAY!
Amberrrr!!
ohhhhh!
guys!!
she got me the "Flora" print!!
this is awesome!
this came out of a set of three: Flora,
Fauna, and Mycota, and they were a s-- uh, rare
set that Wendy did back in... uhh-- 1981,
i can look right here on the print.
i haven't done much research on these yet
because i don't-- i didn't have any of
them, but now i have Flora!!
oh she's beautiful!! I've been watching
this on eBay, i just hadn't ever gotten a
chance to actually purchase it for
myself! I don't have Fauna or Mycota, but
now i am definitely--definitely looking
forward to finishing this set! oh my god
these are gorgeous! 'course it's Wendy's art,
non-ElfQuest art, but Wendy's art
non the less! none-the-less!
absolutely beautiful!!! THANK YOU AMBER!!
Oh!!
numbered! number 492 out of...
i don't know how many there were!
it doesn't have an "out of" number but...
anyway, that's gorgeous!
*makes funny inhaling noise*
i'm going to have to get a frame for it!
thank you! all right...
i think there's... yup, there's something else in here...
*whispers* what ish dis? what's dis?
*laughs*
very cool! just a couple random
comics... good old Moonshade! you guys know that
she's one of my favorite characters!
she's my favorite character to cosplay as!
and this is actually a costume I want
to cosplay at some point when i get some
more time! but cool!
and of course, Hidden Years!
that's Winnowill, or Lady Venovel, as she's
known at this point...
holding the Scrolls... very cool! thank you
Amber! these are awesome!
and i think there's one more in there? yeah, there's one more thing in there!
Ohhhh! ok cool, thank you Amber! we had talked about this!
um... this is the Portfolio II (2) cover, it's
not actually the portfolio itself, which
i already have, but it's just the cover.
and what was interesting about this was
that this came to--straight from the
distributed--distributors that created
the print. they had printed out extras of
just the cover, not of the prints inside,
and they were selling these on ebay. and I
was gonna get around to getting one and
Amber got one for me! what's really cool
is that the spot where it would be
numbered has no number because this was
never put into circulation!
this has never had the prints inside of
it, it's just the cover and I think it's
gorgeous! i'm going to frame this
separately from my actual art portfolio,
so that I just have this to look at
really nicely too! thank you Amber! she put
a lot of thought into these, I can tell
because it was from, um... discussions we've
had on Facebook, and just from her
getting to know me personally.
thank you so much, Amber! that stuff means so much to me!
Umm... okay so this next box comes *attempts to do a British Accent* all the way
from merry old England! *normal voice* that was a
horrible accent, and I apologize to any
British fans, including the person that
this fr-- is from, my Soul Sister, Raevienne!
HI RAE!
so, this is my Christmas package from Rae!
uh-- i have no idea what's in it, but I'm excited to
see some stuff from "Across the Pond," as
it's called. Jolly Old England!
so let's see what Dearest Rae has sent me!
and love the rainbow duct tape,
that's really pretty!
ohh, you "Went to Town" with the tape on
this, didn't 'cha Raevie? didn't 'cha Raevie?
you wanted to make me fight!!
*huffs*
ohh, ohh, ohh, i can peek in it!
i can peek in it...
RAAAH!!
Rae, you just want to see me fight, didn't 'cha? you wanted to
see me Battle the Box!
*Epic Announcer Voice* The Battle of the Box!
hmm... how do your British boxes open?
they open down the middle in America...
oh...
looks like there's a pull tab? on this side?
*goofy voice* let's see what's inside!
AH-HA!
i've gotten... to the pull tab...
and the pull tab... is taped over!
at least that spot in the Box is perforated...
snip...
there we go!
ok let's see what Rae has sent me,
from "Jolly Old England..."
Ohh! Fun stuff... fun stuff, fun stuff all around, i can tell already!
ohh!
*giggles*
now, this is pretty cool! this is a USB
that me and Raevienne are going to use to
share pictures and videos and things
like that. i mean i know we have the
internet, guys, but this is kind of closer
to actual, like, snail mail, Pen-Palling.
and we thought it'd be kind of fun to
try out! so, I like that-- this is the start
of it, this is the very beginning of it!
and i like how Rae put a nice little...
key-chain on there, so it's easily found!
i wanna look at it...
cool little trinkets... little-- mostly
hearts and some flowers, there's a butterfly.
little purses... but in any case, that's what
that's for! so, I'm gonna check out what
you put on there, Rae, and I'm gonna put some
stuff on there too...
see what else...
*funny voice* feathery do-dadsis... *normal voice* OH i bet these are a hair-thing,
is what I'm guessing. little hair st--hair
extension with feathers. Ah!
as you guys can tell, i love my feather hair
extensions! absolutely love them! i actually
had my new puppy chew on my favorite one, not
long ago, but i was able to get this one
to replace it, so i'm happy! this is a very
pretty one, with purple, and peacock
feathers, and all that! but, I love feathery hair
extensions! they're so pretty! and those are so fun
whoo...
ooohhhh!! it's a feather-- it's a
butterfly, pretty butterfly scarf
very nice thank you very much
*giggles*
i'm not sure what that is, but it's kind of
cute... little, like, smiley teardrop guy!
my kids will probably have fun sponging
with that, making a little sponge prints!
oh! Christmas stocking for my son,
actually, so i'm not going to open it...
i'm gonna peek in it...
but that's for my son, thank you
Rae! I really appreciate you guys--
both Amber and Rae not only sent gifts for me,
but they sent gifts for my kids and my
husband, that's really nice!!
so thank you guys, very much!! i just--
i LOVE this, this is so FUN! i really appreciate it!
oh, and see-- this is a stocking for my
husband, so I don't get to know what's--
i'm gonna peek... again...
can't really see too much in there...
can't really see anything in there...
*whispers* darn!
ohhh...
this is a bit of--of... uh... a steampunk-ish kind of cloth!
i could use that as a handkerchief, or... I could
use that to maybe... make something! i don't
know! i'll use that for something, but that's really cool!
it's got little time pieces all over it. very kind
of steampunky, which i also kinda like steampunk.
i'm not really heavily into
steampunk, but i do like steampunk! i think it's
very cool! i wish i could cosplay it, but
looks like a lot of work for me! *laughs*
but that's a nice little stretch cloth... i'll have to think
about something cool to make with that!
OH! this one says Mandy's stocking!
i get to get into this one!
whoop whoop, de-boop! be-de-boop! be-de-boop!
that's cute! little wooden mushroom!
little fairy 'shroom!
*goo-goo voice* ish pwetty cute!
i have to make a little fairy village and i'll put that in there!
socks!
with... a... feather! i'm guessing the feather is not
supposed to be on the socks...
probably supposed to be on the hair thing!
comfy socks! i always need warm socks, thank you Rae!
these look nice, and thick, and warm,
and slippery! I'm gonna have fun sliding around my house in these!
*high pitched* WHEEEEEE!!!! *giggles*
*gasping noise* it's a little steampunk hat!
oh it's a box!
*quiet silly voice* i'sha boxsh...
*petite gasp*
that is SO cute!
it's a little steampunky top hat!
it's also a little box!
see? it opens up,
it's got a nice little thing inside, little
cloth inside...
*cutesy goo-goo voice* das adorable!
it's cute! probably put, like a hair
clip on it, it can be one of those mini-hats!
it's cute!
*gasps, then in cutesy goo-goo voice* OH! a little purple fairy!
*continues the goo-goo-voice* awww, she's so cuuuuuute!
looks like she's pretty glittery, I'm gonna leave her
in here for now, but...
*goo-goo voice again* she's adowable!
little purple fairy!
i guess she might not be a fairy, but she's a
little--little flower Fae of some sort...
*once again, the goo-goo voice* she's adowable!
*normal voice* and she's purple, my favorite color!
ooohh!
it says it's chocolate but... seems kinda poofy...
oh it's a milk chocolate DRINK!
interesting... is it like you put in milk?
yeah... milk chocolate flavor drink...
*reading* into a cup or mug, add hot wat-- yeah! cool, so it's like--
it's like Cadbury hot chocolate! hmmm...
we have Cadbury over here, but I didn't
know they made hot chocolate! that could
just be me not knowing, or it might be that we don't
have it over here. i'm not sure...
that's the other fun thing about getting a
package from England, is they have stuff
over there, that we don't have over here,
and vice versa! i sent her package that
has a bunch of ElfQuest stuff, and she was
REALLY excited about that, because ElfQuest
is really hard to find over there!
at least, where she is.
so, it's kinda interesting to see how things are
differently between England and America!
and that's one of the things I really
love about my friendship with Rae, is
because we get to share all sorts of
little stories and tidbits and things
about our--the different places we're from.
so that's cool!
*clears throat*
*annoying Facebook noise in background*
A-ha-ha! a Santa hat!
it's after Christmas this year, but i will
enjoy wearing that next year!
i actually, wish I had HAD a Santa Hat this year, but
I didn't get one. but now I have one!
so i will definitely be sure to wear this next year!
TA-DAAA!
i'll make sure i do my hair before i do that...
oh, it's cards... cards... cards... cards...
Whoop!
*gasp* oh cool!
Rae sent need me some ElfQuest cards!
i knew there'd be something ElfQuest in here,
i just had a feeling!
look, One-Eye and Clearbrook, these are the
um... greeting cards from RedBubble, guys!
so you know how I've been getting RedBubble
items, well these are some i actually
didn't have! some of the greeting cards! so they're
really beautiful, they're really well-made cards, uh--
this is obviously just the greeting card
style. RedBubble also has postcard style.
i haven't gotten any of their postcards
yet, but I'm gonna look forward to
getting some of those. and so, YAY!
Clearbrook and One-Eye!
oh, and then that's just the envelope for them.
now that's also interesting...
a difference-- i don't know if this is just
RedBubble does different things between
their U.K. store, and their U.S. store, but
this is really interesting because when
i ordered the greeting cards from
RedBubble, the envelopes were not
self-adhesive. they were the typical--
bleeeeh
lick-ones, so i don't-- i just find that
interesting once again just little
tidbits between the U.K. and the U.S. that
they're just kind of interesting to see!
why-- i wonder why they have little differences
like that, like... why? WHY?
*squeaky voice* WHY??
and theeen... what's in this one?
there's another card!
oh, it's another ElfQuest card!
and see-- Rae, thank you for listening to my
advice! it's very very smart if you guys
get the greeting cards from RedBubble, that
you don't write in them! because if you
write in them, it doesn't make them as
collectible. and i know some people don't
care, they just want the greeting card and
they want it to be personalized, but your
collector friends that are going to be
receiving cards from you will appreciate
it if you don't actually write in the
card! what you can do, what I did with my
greeting cards this year, my Christmas
cards, is I took a slip of paper and i
wrote my individual notes on those, and
then the slip of paper would get slipped inside
the card and put in the envelope.
so that you don't actually write on the card itself
but, uh-- so Rae listened to
my advice on that one. thank you for
listening Rae, and it's very--a very kind of
cool little tip for people.
so anyway, so I got a couple of ElfQuest cards!
YAAYY!!
thank you Rae!
put those up with my collection!
they're so nice! they're really good, thick card stock from RedBubble.
good stuff good stuff
Oh! feels like there's one more thing in there...
*silly voice* down at da toe!
*gasp* oh that is REALLY pretty!
it's a Christmas ornament! looks like it's
handmade? Rae, did you make this? or, I know
you went to a bunch of craft fairs, and
things like that...
did you pick this up there? you'll have to
let me know online! but it's beautiful
a handmade Christmas snowflake for my tree!
as you can see I already took my
tree down this year, but I will
definitely add this to my Christmas box
so that i can put it up next year!
thank you Rae, that's beautiful!
whoop, there's a couple more things in here...
oh, this is nice! this is actually to help
with my kids. thank you Rae! this is very
thoughtful! it's a homework chart...
that's pretty cool!
that's awesome, so that I can--
so it'll help my kids to get their homework
done. it's a little reward chart so, you
know, you write down what their homework
is and then if they do it they get a
sticker, and then maybe all the way at the end,
they get a prize or something like that.
but it's really cool, thank you Rae!
very thoughtful! i love thoughtful gifts!
"Adventure Awaits!"
this reminds me of the Disney movie, "Up!"
i don't know if everybody's seen that one...
I'm sure you have, it's a really good one... but
this reminds me,
"Adventure is out there!" *giggles*
An Adventure Awaits, huh? what is this? is this...
*whispers* what is this? what is--
Adventure Awaits! i feel like i'm
going on an adventure...
Awwwww! that's cool!
it's just a nifty... it's a--a scrapbook that
Rae started for me!
i'm going to keep this, and i'm gonna put stuff from Rae in it!
like um...
awwww I'll figure something out... like... maybe...
i don't know...
but i'll figure something out! this is cool!
give me just a second, guys, while I read this...
Yeah! this is just really cool! it's got a light--
nice little personalized message here,
it's got a picture of the Druids Temple?
which is someplace that I guess Rae has
visited... a couple-- she likes to use wax
seals, so she put a couple of the wax seals she
likes to use in there, and then the
rest of the pages are blank, so i can put
whatever I want in there! it's really
cool! i like that! i'm definitely going to
keep this for our adventures, Rae! I'm
going to put everything that I think has
meaning that you've sent me, letters
cards... anything flat that i can fit in here...
I want to definitely keep this going!
Thank you, this is awesome! once again a
really great, thoughtful gift!
and then, I have card! says "Open Me!"
*giggles as she reads*
awww! thank you Rae! pretty little Christmas card!
with Santa, it says "Happy Christmas," which is a very British
sounding saying, i don't know why but
over here in America we usually say,
"Merry Christmas" and I've heard in
the UK they say a lot of "Happy Christmas!"
so I don't know why there's the
difference, but it's kind of a fun--
another fun little, you know, detail
between the two different places.
so, Happy Christmas!
and last-- just a fun little dongle... makes me
feel like a cat, i just want to...
bat at it!
it's just so easy to play with...
I don't have cats... i have dogs... but maybe
i'll be the cat for this...
gaaah! i keep wanting to grab it and it just keeps it away from you... like a cat toy!
anyway... i'll figure out something to do with this...
will be a little decoration on the wall...
or something... i'll wear it in my hair...
*giggles*
alright, well, that looks to be it!
thank you guys so much, Amber and Rae, for
sending me these great, awesome gifts! uh...
i got some ElfQuest stuff,
i got some non-ElfQuest stuff!
fun stuff, all around! looking forward to... just having
fun with all of it! thank you guys so much!!
um... for my viewers, I know this wasn't really ElfQuest
oriented. it's a little bit more of a
vlog, which to let you guys know I also
want to start doing. uh, when I start doing my
vlogs they're gonna be really raw though, guys...
uh--eh--it'll be doubtful that i'll have makeup
on, you guys are going to be lucky if I
brush my hair, because that's how it is most of the days
around here. I'm a stay at home mom,
so I don't always look nice like this
everyday... so when I do my vlogs they're
going to be a little more on-the-go, on
the fly... um, when I find out some kind of
cool news that happens, i'm gonna pull out my
camera and vlog it for you guys, maybe
kinda do like a little newsreel or
something, but in any case, i'm hoping to do
a lot of great things, this coming year
with my channel! um, got a lot of great
plans up here! uh, i'm hoping to do vlogs, i'm
starting to think of maybe some more
funny things, we like little skits and
things like that... like I've talked about
in the past but just haven't done yet.
uh, my channel still new guys! i've only been
around for about five, maybe six months...
so stay tuned because I've got plenty
more in--in mind! I want to do a lot with
this channel! i want to have a lot of fun!
um, i want to do news, i want to do vlogs...
it's gonna be good stuff!
