I still get chills, like, every time I do that goodbye. I get-- I get to the "Shade and
Sweet Water..." and doing-- I'm getting chills just doing this-- get to the "Shade and
Sweet Water" part, and it's just like-- *long sigh*
*laughs*
I love making these ElfQuest videos! ok--
(music plays: "Xanadu" by Slammerkin)
Welcome to the ElfQuest Collector's Guide! I'm your Pack Leader for this Hunt, Mandy
Roncalio-Meyer, or you can call me Shadowfire, either way works! in any case
guys, I got a really really cool unboxing for today! so first, before we get to the
unboxing, I wanted to apologize for there not being very many ElfQuest videos
recently. the ElfQuest videos take more work, they take a little more effort; I
have to do my research on them, and so therefore, they take a lot more effort.
I've been very very busy recently with just a whole lot of things going on in
life, and as I mentioned in previous videos, my laptop died recently! which
makes it even harder for me to do the ElfQuest videos, because that's where
all of my research is, that's where all of my links to info are, that's just
that's where all of my work as far as the ElfQuest Collector's Guide goes. so
it's been a little bit more of an effort trying to get these ElfQuest Collector's
Guide videos going, but don't worry guys! I'm not stopping them, they're more--
there's-- there's more on their way I just have to get to the work to do that. so
guys, for this video I've got a really really cool unboxing! so as you guys know,
ElfQuest is known all over the world! there has been multiple publications of
ElfQuest in several different languages, and there's a new company in France
currently reprinting ElfQuest, and I believe they're going to try to do all
the way through Final-- the Final Quest but don't quote me on that one guys. in
any case, this company-- I'm probably gonna axe-murder their name, because it is a
French name, and while I did take some French lessons in school, of course I'm
American and we axe-murder every other language, right? anyways guys, so the
company that makes the French editions of ElfQuest now, I believe it's called
Snorgleux ("snore-glue")
now I could be pronouncing that wrong, as I said, and I'm really
sorry to my French viewers if I'm saying that wrong! if you want to correct me go
ahead and send me a message on Facebook, with like a little little voice message
or something that says, "hey this is how it's pronounced." in any case
mispronunciations aside, this is a set of everything that Snorgleux
has come out for ElfQuest so far! basically, the entire Original Quest, I
believe it is. Uhm-- you guys are probably going to be very interested in joining
the ElfQuest Collectors UNITE group over on Facebook, because if it had not been
for that group-- which yes, I mentioned before I started that group, but it's so
much more than just me guys! there are so many helpful members over there! in any
case, if it hadn't have been for the ElfQuest Collectors UNITE group, I would
not be able to own this set! there is a member in the ElfQuest Collectors UNITE
group, a French member, and her and I have worked out a deal with the company to
get these books to members of the ElfQuest Collectors UNITE for a little
bit of a shipping discount! now, coming from France, these are super super
expensive to ship! like, just for example, I think was last week or the week-before,
I shipped out some individual comics. just one single issue of ElfQuest (each), and I
had to ship out four of them to people in France. now a single issue, from me to
ship to France, was $23! just for one in an envelope! I didn't put any like super
duper, like, extra-thick padding or anything, like just normal, standard
packaging: $23 guys! so the shipping for this set of books would have been really
really astronomically high! so over in the ElfQuest Collectors UNITE group, a
member of the group named Guita, I believe I'm pronouncing that right, again
she's French-- uh, got together with me, and we got together, and tried to work out a
different deal than what it ended up being. our original idea was we were
going to figure out a bulk order of these books to ship to ME, and then I
would basically kind-of act as an unofficial distributor, and send these
books to other ElfQuest fans that wanted them. now, that ended up being really
expensive to do! we didn't do that! we axed that idea. what we ended up finding
out though, was that Snorgleux is a very very awesome company!
they actually made a special shipping deal with us, through the ElfQuest
Collectors UNITE group! so guys, I'm gonna open this box, and you're gonna see these.
these are some beautiful hard covers! the pictures I've seen are gorgeous! if you
want this set for yourself, I highly recommend going and joining the ElfQuest
Collectors UNITE group! I'll put a link down in the video description, alright
guys? I think that's enough blabbering on for me! you guys know how I can be
long wind-- long worded and long-winded! let's get to opening this sucker! I am
super excited! several people that participated in this order actually
already got theirs-- yesterday I think it was-- so several people have already opened
them, and people have seen 'em, and my friends were telling me that they're
awesome, and I can't wait to see them for myself! so here we go guys! it might take
a little bit... looks like they might have Mandy-proofed it a little bit... they, uh-- put a
lot of tape on here, which I can appreciate, because they came all the way
from France! so I can appreciate that they packaged it
uber uber super safe! but we might skip forward until I have this already open,
alright guys? let's see...
so while I'm opening this, i'll just kind of gab-on a
little bit, because you guys know i like to do that. so don't forget guys that Wendy
and Richard are still on tour!
--Hey look I got a box!-- *Laughs*
Wendy and Richard are
still on tour. they only have a couple more appearances left. I think they might
add more appearances to the list, but don't quote me on that either, because I
don't know-- I just realized that they added one more appearance to the list, it
was yesterday actually, so, who knows, guys? they might add more appearances! we're
only halfway through the year, and they only have two appearances left on the
actual list-- well three now-- so I really hope they add more! and I got to be
honest: I hope they add more near me, because I would love to go see them
again, and hopefully not be so starstruck that I can't have a conversation!
in any case guys, back to this...
HRRGGH!
HRRGGH!
RAAHH! that's heavy! don't worry guys, I will
have more unboxings on their way as well! I know there's been a ton of RedBubble
designs put up that I haven't showcased yet, but don't worry, I'm saving up my
paychecks! I had to save up my paychecks for this order, and now the next big
thing I'm saving up for is a RedBubble order with a bunch of the new designs, so
I can show you guys! so stay tuned! I haven't put the order in yet. I'm still
saving my money up for it, but we're getting there! we're getting there...
oh beautiful, i can see already!
oh! how perfect is it, folks,
that, uh-- I opened it up, and the very first character I see00 I don't know if you guys
can see that-- very first character I see right here: Moonshade!
oooohh, but yeah!
you guys probably saw just then from that little sneak peek, these are gorgeously
colored! and they're bigger than I thought!!
look at the size of this thing, guys! like, normal comic books are about that
big-- like, oh probably about like that, is about the size of a normal comic book!
I mean, look how huge this is! now I think, um-- so Snorgleux had
several different variations of book number one. I-- I had to splurge, and
knowing that I might not get a good shipping deal again, I knew I had to get
the full set! so I really splurged on this guys! I got all the variants, and
everything included! so, I think this is one of the variant covers for book
number one. which also could be why it's so big. that is so big! like, I did not-- I did
not plan appropriately on my shelves for this size book! *laughs*
but that's okay because my whole collection needs to be rearranged! if you notice guys,
I am doing my unboxing outside, well first of all, it's because it's beautiful out
here! it's a beautiful summer day, and I love my yard because I live in the
middle of the forest! so I just thought I'd show you guys some of the forest! but
also, my ElfQuest corner is bit hectic right now guys! where I
normally do my recordings and my showcases and stuff? I've added a lot to
my collection recently, and I had to take some of my stuff down, and I had to put
other stuff up, and I took my lights down, and they're not back up-- in any case guys,
my recording area where I norm--i typ-- I typically do my ElfQuest videos-- it's
just not prepared! which is another reason why videos-- ElfQuest videos-- have
been a little delayed. it's just taken some while guys. I mean, these have--
these things happen! but just trust that I'm going to be redoing my ElfQuest
Collection, I'm gonna be redoing the corner where it is, my recording area. so
hopefully, it'll it'll be a little bit better looking, next time we get to it!
comment below guys! I've got a question for you, okay? what do you think about me
doing a Livestream session, where I rearrange my collection area? I would
basically be there, doing my thing, putting stuff around, but I would be able to chat
with you guys on the computer-- I'd be able to vocally chat with you, because
you'd be visibly able to see me! you can maybe help me decide where things could
go, I could show you and talk about items that I haven't talked about yet-- just
things like that! but let me know! Comment down below: what do you guys think about
me possibly doing a Livestream rearranging of my collection? what do you
guys think: yes or no?
okay let's get back to the books! I know! I keep getting
distracted! I haven't done an ElfQuest video for a while, so I've got a lot to
say! alright guys, but anyway, so I'm pretty
sure this is a variant and a gorgeous one! geez! I have to get a little bit closer to
the camera with this, just so you guys could see the coloring on it. like, look
at the coloring on it! I'll get it the sunlight... there we go. look at that! yeah!
*dog barks in background*
that would be my dog, Chops... *to Chops* Shh! quiet on the set!
--but then if you guys look on the
back too, really pretty! and of course, my beautiful Moonshade! I Love Her!
anyway guys, so there's, I believe, this is the variant. I'll let you know for sure when I open
the rest of the box!
okay, so there's that one! and I'm pretty sure that that's the variant, also
because it was in a separate box. it's like, packaged in its own thing. so my
guess is that that's the variant... and this-- GRRR-AH-- should be...
uuuurrrgghhh... the monster of the rest of the set! GGRRAHHH!
so guys, another thing I want to say is that, apparently according to Guita,
this deal will be offered again to the ElfQuest Collectors UNITE group! so if
you guys want to get in on this set, and if you guys want to get in on the future
ElfQuest books that Snorgleux puts out, join ElfQuest Collectors UNITE and watch
out for either mine or Guita's posts on the subject! if you're gonna be
getting the whole set. I know I'm gonna be going after the rest of them! I
believe, umm-- I believe I heard that they are currently working on Kings of the Broken Wheel,
so that'll be cool! good, it's good stuff guys! okay!
this is ready to check out though! so, also-- oh that was the other bonus! gosh, I
just keep-- I keep forgetting the bonuses! we got-- we-- there was a lot of bonuses to
this deal guys! another bonus was that, if you, I believe it was, if you got all of
the books, I don't think everybody got this, but if you order a full set of
books, they sent you basically, whatever ElfQuest-related extras they also
created! so, for example, they came out-- wow, this is super thick... Wow!
oh it's got other stuff inside. okay, so, for example, they also celebrate Free
Comic Book Day (FCBD) over in France! I didn't know that! I honestly thought it was a
United States-thing, but apparently it's at least international, and hopefully
worldwide! but in France, they also celebrate Free Comic Book Day, and
their free comic for this year featured a little bit of ElfQuest! you
can see Petalwing right here on the cover! and i believe i was told, that the story--
oh look at that! and then you open up-- wow! they're giving ElfQuest some love, guys!
this is uh-- the second page in, and they've already got an ad for the set of books
that I just got, and I think we're dipping right into the story-- yeah!
yep, and then we turn right in, and the very first story in their Free Comic
Book Day comic is Homespun, in French nonetheless! obviously because it was a
French comic-- but yeah! so very cool! so here we have Homespun, which is a tale
about the Preservers and how they began. *edit: nope, not how they began* and it's actually the story of umm...
Go away, bug!
and it's actually the story of Olbar the Mountain-Tall-- you guys remember him from
Original Quest?-- it's the story of his daughter.
remember he mentions his daughter, and they cut her and her lover open (from Wrap-Stuff) and what-not
in the Original Quest. well Homespun is the story of how they
got into the Preservers Wrap-Stuff to begin-with. but so that story is included
in here, and that's really cool! another thing that I thought was really awesome
that they included as a bonus for the members of the ElfQuest Collectors
UNITE that got in on this deal, was-- when Wendy and Richard went over to France
for that part of the tour, that leg of the tour, Snorgleux came out with some
special little cards. they're just a picture of Cutter. I believe this is a
rarely seen. or maybe even never-before-seen piece of artwork of
Cutter, and they're just some nifty little promotional cards with Cutter on
it. and then on the back, we've got all the publisher info on there. you know,
Dark Horse Books, Snorgleux, ElfQuest, and all the legal stuff that they've got to
have. all that legal jargon. but so that's pretty cool! they actually made these--
sorry, I didn't finish saying what they made these for-- they made these for Wendy
and Richard's appearances over in France. so these were like basically the little
special freebie, that you got for going to one of those events. and so they also
included them for the people of the ElfQuest Collectors UNITE that ordered the
books through that order!
so that's pretty cool! I'm gonna have to find like a little frame, or something
that this guy fits in! it's a very very awesome picture of Cutter! it's-- I-- I can't
say that it's never-before-seen, because I have seen it online, but I think it
might have been never published before. I don't think this print, this picture
has ever been in-print before. again guys, I could be wrong about that. but uh, yeah!
I really really love this picture of Cutter! he's-- it's-- it's an interesting kind of
pose for him. he kind of almost looks laid-back, but ready for action, just as
Cutter always is! so, awesome! okay! and now as you can see...
that's a set of books, guys!
this box was heavy! like, whoo! I had my husband carry it in the house
and out here to the table, because, I mean, I'm not a weakling, I can carry it, but I
didn't want to, because it's so heavy! in any case guys, these are beautiful!
okay... let's take this one-at-a-time, folks! hopefully, in order...
Ah, that one's Number One...
that's right! so, i
told you about the variants, which I was correct: this is one of the variants! this
is the special Deluxe edition variant! I thought it might have been, because it was a
little bit larger, I just didn't want to say for sure, but uh-- this is the Deluxe
Edition variant! it was a little bit pricier than the rest of the books, but
it's pretty! I can't-- I'm gonna-- haven't decided if I'm gonna rip the plastic
open and read it yet, but I probably will... or at least flip through it. but uh,
so this was the Deluxe Edition variant. then, they had just a standard variant as
well, besides the normal color-- er, cover, sorry. and that's what this one is! check
that out, guys! Madcoil and Bearclaw! now again, this is
just the start of the Original Quest. let me just peek on that-- yep, beautiful!
and I believe that's the colorings-- the inside-- is the colorings from the original Starblaze
colorings that Wendy did. I could be wrong, i could be wrong about that, guys!
whew, I'm short... I could be wrong about that guys, but I'm pretty sure, that the
colorings from these, are from the Starblaze editions that Wendy colored back
in the day, that are absolutely gorgeous! but yeah, so here's the variant for book
number one, with Madcoil and Bearclaw! then we've got Cutter watching Leetah dance. but yeah
and these are all hardcover, guys! no soft covers, all hardcover, and very very well
made! super well made! just take a peek at the colors inside.
Lookit-this! lookit those colors!
beautiful stuff,
guys! so, that's variant of book one.
now we've got the regular edition of book 1. so this one's gonna have the same
exact content as this book. but it's got a different cover. even the backs are
different-- same wording, different-- different cover pictures. so guess
these are essentially the same book. as most of you probably know, a Variant just
means it's like a limited edition, with a different col-- cover maybe different...
something special about it. but in any case, so these are the variants. this is
the normal edition, this is the variant edition, and then we also have the Deluxe
edition guys! this one is big, and so like-- there we go--
comparatively, it's a lot bigger than the other ones!
it's a big book!
but so there are the three variants of the start of the Original Quest. now, I believe the
Deluxe edition also has more story in it as well, besides what these two have. so
I'll have to check that out. maybe I'll get back to you guys online about that...
okay, but here is the normal edition of book one. very nice, very pretty covers!
I'll bring this up close, so you guys can see it too...
this one we've seen-- we've seen this artwork a lot, and this is a pretty
popular one. and then on the back, we've got the Wolfriders peering over the
edge, right there. watching the humans! ready to go save Redlance!
oh gosh, guys! these covers? so nice!
so beautiful! so this is book 2. as we can see, I believe this was-- I believe all of
these actually were the... yeah, yeah-- I remember that,
reading that now... all of the covers for these books, were actually covers that
were used for the Marvel Epic reprint series! and they basically took
those original covers, and recolored them-- personal opinion here: much better than
the Marvel covers were colored-- colored in the first place! but, beautiful
guys! here I'll bring them all up close, so you guys can see each one... so there's
book two! absolutely beautiful coloring on that cover! man, oh! and then on the
back-- yeah, we've got Skywise rushing into Nonna and Adar's hut to save Cutter--
"save" Cutter... *Laughs*
good ol' Skywise: he acts first, and thinks second, am i right, guys?
oh gosh, guys! i can't wait to have these on my shelf!
These are gonna look really really handsome on the shelf! just really nice!
all the covers are very very like simple. they all match, I love the Sending Star on them,
because I just absolutely love Sending Stars! it's one of my favorite little,
just simple designs. but here's book 3, guys. absolutely gorgeous! of course you
know I'm gonna love it, because it's got all sorts of shades of purples and blues
on there! but uh, yeah! check it out! when Savah "Goes Out" and can't return to
her body! and then we have Skywise being found by Preservers... Skywise better wake
up, or he's gonna get put in Wrap-Stuff! am i right, guys?
if I remember right-- yeah! they're putting his feet in Wrap-Stuff right now! so,
Skywise might wanna wake up!
Skywise; always sleeping on the job!
*gasps in joyful glee*
this is my favorite cover, and you guys can probably guess why! I'm gonna give
you three seconds to guess! all right guys?
three! two! one!
It's Winnowill!!
ooohh wow! this is definitely my favorite cover!
Winnowill in all of her evil glory!
*sighs* yeah...
check it out guys! look at this!
You know, i don't think we too-often see Winnowill
actually colored, so that we can see her skin tone. I'm really kind of curious
as-to how close the skin tone is to what Wendy would have chosen for her, because
with Winnowill's description, she's supposed to have like this really really
pale, pearlescent-almost skin, so kind of intrigued. this is like, Winnowill's got a
little bit of Sun, here guys. *laughs*
but I don't care; it's Winnowill and I love her!
and then I love the image they chose for the back; when Cutter is challenging Winnowill!
like, "I'm gonna get you!!" RAAAAHHHHHH!!!
So, yep! this: definitely my favorite cover! *clicks tongue*
alright guys, last, and of course, certainly not least, we have the final book! I love
how it's got like this nice sticker right here, let you know that this is the
Final Book. and yeah!
that's a pretty awesome cover guys! it's-- it's Skywise
passing the Lodestone over to Cutter, with the Spirits floating around them in the Palace.
spoiler alert! hey guys, if you're here, and you haven't
read the Original Quest, go read the Original Quest! because I try not to put
spoilers about the other series, like Kings the Broken Wheel, Shards, Hidden
Years, all those-- Final Quest, of course-- I try not to do any spoilers. but Original
Quest? if you haven't read the Original Quest, I'm really curious why you're here?!
are you interested in reading ElfQuest?! link down below!! link down below!!
go read ElfQuest, PLEASE!
alright, let's bring this-- whoa, WHOA! if I can get off my table without falling!-- bring this up close to
you guys. check that out, I just-- I can't stop gushing about the coloring on these!
they're just so gorgeously done! just well, well, WELL-colored! and on the back
of this one, we have the Wolves! now, if I remember right, this panel is actually of
the wolves that were being held captive by the trolls. so there we go, guys! so
that's the final book, the book 5! so all together guys, there is 7 books in this
set; there are 5 books that comprise the Original Quest. so if you want the set
guys, come on over to the ElfQuest Collectors UNITE group! myself and Guita
are very helpful-- of course, all the members of the ElfQuest Collectors UNITE
is are very helpful! but when it comes to this deal, Guita and I are very helpful,
and we're really, really wanting more and more people to pick up on this beautiful,
beautiful set here! it is well worth it! I am super happy I got it! thank you Snorgleux,
for taking such good care of ElfQuest! Thank You Guita, for helping me
to arrange this deal for the members of the ElfQuest Collectors UNITE group, and
yeah! as I said guys, Snorgleux will be coming out with more ElfQuest, and
they're going to be offering some similar shipping deals to us over in the
Collectors UNITE group! so join us over there, and you might be able to get this
awesome set for yourself! very beautiful, very well worth it! if you
want to get the set, join us over there, and connect with me and Guita!
We'll hook you up!
I realized I didn't take the Deluxe edition out of the plastic wrap! I
thought about it, I was going to keep it closed, but I'm just-- as I said, I'm not
that kind of collector! I am NOT the kind of collector to keep things in a package!
I would much rather open it. you can't enjoy things if they're stuck in the
wrapper! it ain't happening, guys! it ain't staying in the wrapper!
the wrapper is off... off!
and because it's a Deluxe edition it does have the nifty-- *clicks tongue* slip case
cover-- oh so cool! oh I love that feature! oh my gosh guys, so for the Deluxe
edition, it's got the dust cover which is beautiful, but check it out! if you take
the dust cover off, its the cover in black and white as well! that just
tickles my fancy! I love that! that is so cool! so it's like the total wraparound
cover; goes all the way around it. and then if you take the dust cover off, it's
the same wraparound cover in black and white! very nice touch! Snorgleux! very nice touch!
I would applaud you, if my hands weren't full of this gorgeous book that you've created!
oh cool! and opposed to how the regular editions are in color, the
Deluxe edition is in black and white. which I also find kind of interesting,
because normally with deluxe editions and normal editions, it's the other way
around. am i right? normally, like, regular editions are black and white, and then
you get a variant or a deluxe or whatever, and it's the one that's in
color. that's not how they did it this time, but I can appreciate that! I think
that's really really cool! so if you get this full set, you'll get both, a
beautiful colored rendition of ElfQuest, you also get-- if you get the Deluxe
edition-- you get a beautiful black and white version of it!
I saw bonus pages! I saw bonus pages in the back! I'm gonna check those out, yeah!
you know a lot of people-- there's-- there's kind of a constant debate going on
within the ElfQuest community: colored or black and white? what do you prefer? from
what I've noticed, it tends to kind-of go with whatever you read first. if you read
it in color first, that's what you tend to be attracted to, and that's what you
seem to be really connected to. if you read it in black and white first, that's
the one that you're gonna be connected to, and like the most. now I'm not saying
that's completely true, that's just what I've noticed myself, but in any case,
there's a big debate going on whether it's better to read ElfQuest in color or
in black and white. because in color, you-- you get kind of different details. you
get a little depth, but in black and white sometimes you can pick up stuff
that gets lost inside of all the coloring. so it's like I said, it's a
debate. if you want to join the debate go over to Facebook groups and join them
over there, and get it on those debates. but now I'm gonna check out what these
bonus pages are at the end... oh cool it's a-- it's a making-of, and
there's part of it in English! so I can read this, but the parts in English are
all the parts that Wendy and Richard hand wrote. all the notes and stuff, but
yeah! this is like a little making of ElfQuest in the back, cool! I think this
is all stuff that we've seen in other places too... but it could be wrong...
like I don't necessarily remember seeing the sketch work for these pages on lined
paper, but I could be wrong guys. it's been a long time since I've actually
looked at the sketch work from these, in some of the special edition stuff, and
the Gatherums and everywhere where all that background stuff can be found.
but uh, so cool! maybe some of this-- this-- some of this might be exclusive, but I
think for the most part its stuff that we've seen already, but just they haven't
gotten to see over there in France yet. and then here in the very far back, they've
got the covers for the rest of the set of books, but in black and white. so once
again you can kind of compare. you can take the colored covers, and set them
next to the black and white pages here, and be like, "do I like color, or do I like
the black and white better?" but in any case guys, so that was the Deluxe Edition,
and I think this is my favorite book of the set, other than the cover with Winnowill...
because it's Winnowill! but this is a really awesome addition to my collection!
this might even become one of my favorite versions, just because it's so
unique! it's huge, it's beautifully don,e I love the way they did the dust cover in
color, and the hardback in black and white! I just I think that's really cool!
but alright, so... well guys, that's all I've got for this unboxing video! as I said:
stay tuned! I will have more ElfQuest videos coming out pretty soon! I'm trying
to work on picking those back up guys. the "Just Mandy!" videos have been working
out for me recently, because they're really easy to just throw out there, and
you guys have been asking for them! because you guys have been asking to know more
about me and my life, and so that's what the "Just Mandy!" series is. so guys, I hope
you enjoyed this unboxing of these beautiful French editions from the
company, Snorgleux! and I hope you'll join us over in the
ElfQuest Collectors UNITE group, so we can help you get your own collection
going of this beautiful set, and so we can all benefit when they come out with
the next books, and we can all get a shipping deal for the next set of books
that they would be coming out with! so guys; thanks for watching, and until next time,
Shade and Sweet Water, and Happy Hunting!
BYYYEEE!!!
