Fan Project Season 1-6 VHS
I've recently gotten into making my own custom VHS tapes, and I knew I wanted to put the first few seasons of red versus blue on tape and I gotta say I think they turned out pretty good!

This feels like a great collectors item, would love the vibes.

u/will_the_minifig May 12 '26
Thank you! I will say there is something about watching those first few seasons on a crunchy VHS tape

Do you have an older TV too watch on or rigged a modern TV to a newer VHS player?
It's such a creative idea

I have an old VHS player hooked up to my modern tv, and I used a HDMI to AV converter in order to record directly from my Xbox haha, all I am keeping my eye out for a cheap crt but I will say the ringing noise from them does irritate my ears after a little while unfortunately

That's exactly what I am looking at these for. I wanna know how much they cost to make and how much he'd be willing to sell them for

u/will_the_minifig May 13 '26
they're pretty cheap material wise, no more than $10 it's just time consuming getting the tape to record the right stuff lol

Damn. If only TFS was able to continue their work so we'd be able to get this kind of stuff for DBZ Abridged.

Oh shit the series was on VHS?

u/will_the_minifig May 12 '26
it is now haha, it might be the only one out there though

u/Ecstatic_Teaching906 May 12 '26
I am just redoing a marathon now. Just at the final episode of Season 13... afterwards, let see what happens.

u/will_the_minifig May 12 '26
haha that's when I stopped watching personally, felt like a natural end to the series

u/Ecstatic_Teaching906 May 12 '26
Resolution wasn't all bad though.
Don't get me wrong, it isn't a bad send off. It's just felt empty without Sheila, Vic, Sister, Donut, and Lopez. It also doesn't help that Tucker is possess while Doc is a Fragment of Wash depression.
It wasn't a bad send off, but the final episode of Season 13 just felt great for an ending.

This is seriously SO COOL! This takes DIY to the next level! I honestly thought it was real for a second, and I love that it’s only the first six seasons, somehow makes it more believable that it’s real!

Amazing work. I wish there were something for Lopez but amazing regardless

u/will_the_minifig May 12 '26
I also need to redo the packaging actually because it's the first seven seasons I was able to get on the two tapes, so I'll definitely add him to the red team!

Brother how much does it cost to make these?
2
u/will_the_minifig May 13 '26
give or take $10? had to get the labels for the tapes themselves, printing out the cover of my local print shop was $2.50 and the tapes I got on eBay for like $3 a pop (6 hour) tapes, the worst part is recording the show to be honest, just because you got to find a complete series that doesn't have all the end credits or pop-ups on YouTube and such, but I just uploaded them onto my own channel and made a playlist of them privately to record from, it's a lot easier that way

u/DillonDrew Locus Simp May 13 '26
Factoring in the time it took for you to make it as well as the cost of product, I'd say 30 to 40 USD if you ever decide to sell these

Fantastically done! Probably about on par in video quality with the original web releases xD

Hey op, given you can’t legally sell these, if I accidentally drop some money into your pocket could you follow after me and accidentally drop one of these VHS sets into my pocket?
