It was an episode of their show, Toy Break. (Which is an ironic title, given the discussion)
To give it some context, Shaun, the guy behind Box O' Zombies had sent me some of his figures for Review and I'd covered them. (
THAT FIGURES Box O Zombies Review) I also used to share Toy Break's videos on my site so you can imagine how disappointed I was to see a news round-up where they went on a rant about how BoZ had ''stolen'' their designs.
After seeing this I suggested to the BoZ guys that they send a pack or two for the Toy Break crew to review, so they could see they were indeed a different product to the Zombies figures they'd recently produced and, hoping to quell any bad blood, the BoZ team did just that.
Unfortunately the Toy Break guys refused to see this as the work of a fellow indie toy company and instead, it would appear, decided to use the review to destroy a ''competitor's'' product.
They continued to make claims of plagiarism (because they clearly came up with the idea of a one-armed zombie or a crawling zombie, right?), ridiculed the BoZ claim that the figures could be painted (as far as I recall BoZ never claimed this was unique to their product but simply stated the fact, presumably as collectors had asked them this yet the October Toys crew seemed to take this as a slight against THEIR zombie figures) and generally behave in a manner that wasn't exactly impartial. To then demonstrate their inferiority, George took one of the figures and worked its limbs until it snapped, presumably intended to demonstrate how flimsy the figures were (having handled the figures myself, I can only say that I never experienced any breakage with them, but then again, I wasn't attempting to smash them to prove a point.)
This is the episode, I think, but you'll have to wait for it to buffer if you want to jump ahead to the 19 minute mark (unless you want to watch the entire thing.)
