These are so cool! I spent so many quarters on the Metal Slug cabinet in the back of my hometown pizza joint as a kid--little me would have been stoked to see Metal Slug merch but a little intimidated by water slides and painting lol.
Omg I need these, literally just beat 4 again yesterday with my wife. I remember seeing the sprites as a kid and being amazed at how incredible the graphics were
The "helmet-tank" is an UFO-Tank. and the character figure that comes with it, is called "General Morden". one of the main antagonists of the metal slug series. you're welcome!
16:27 The Harrier this jet is based on is famously a VSTOL aircraft (vertical/short takeoff and landing), so having the landing gear down during flight is not weird at all when it's hovering near the ground. Hence why it's animated with the gear down in-game.
Lol that long haired guy with the shorts in his hands is a POW that you save that will give you goods on rescue by revealing a weapon or food behind his shorts. Thanks for passing this video.
I love this set! I would totally buy it when it becomes available! Meng has a series of kits called World War Toon and in that series the models are cartoon styled tanks like a Sherman, Tiger etc... I love them because you can take a break from being all serious and enjoy not having to be historically accurate with details and markings etc... so I’ll be watching for this set !
The plane is a cartoonish Harrier jump-jet with VTOL so posing flying with the landing gear down would be a cool way of showing it landing and taking off (do they need a stubby ramp like the F35? I can't remember, I'm sure I saw one take off vertically as a kid).
Almost got these! Had em on pre order at hlj when the set was still only 5000 yen! But I sadly had to cancel it due to monetary concerns and wasnt able to work overtime for it either :'). Seems like it wouldve been well worth the price! ("Sadly" i also had to eat that month :'D) The figures are also supposed to look, at least somewhat, disproportionate like that. They are "deformed" in the games too although I think the proportions in game do look better and they couldve still maybe done a better job of making the figures more acurate to the games but eh they look good enough for me ;p Ps: The tall tank shoots cannonballs that function like bowlingballs. The cannonball plops out and immediately drops straight down and then rolls towards the player :p its so dumb, its fantastic. All these kits with the exception of the metal slug itself are based on the larger non-boss enemy sprites. The ufo tank, I believe, is just a transport for one of the bosses(youre half right actually zack, he is kinda the big boss :p) and you dont actually fight it. The games are all extremely good 2d platformer/shooters like contra except if you dont actually feel up to the challenge you can just creditfeed yourself to the end of the games. And if you have any afinity to animation or sprite art you really owe it to yourself to at least give one of em a spin, it shouldnt have to take more than 40 mins -1 hour. The animations in those game and the amount of detail and humor stuffed in the low resolution presentation is just mind blowing. Its still unmatched.
Thanks for this, i love the game and art style it has, so i always kept an eye on these kits. Nice to see a good and detailed review, so it's easier to decide on which one to get.
are you going to try out Billion Spark's fully articulated model kit version of the Metal Slug tank? seems like a cool side by side for this one and they even have the blue version instead of the classic gunmetal grey~
Im sure they will release more of em, they let out Eri and Fio, but since Eri is paired with the weird robo legs an Fio with the Camel kinda makes me think that we are getting a secont wave at least, the enemies have a lot more vehicles too, not counting the bosses, like the airplanes, helicopters and maybe some Mars people stuff(?
Metal Slug + Metal Gear = some sort of awesome cross over. also, if anyone is looking for more realistic tank models, go check Hobby Lobby. I found some kits called World War Toons, which was some super cute chubby tanks (still with full detail) I was so close tog getting one, because.. Metal Slug. Good thing I checked the Internet though. I'm so happy that Metal Slug Models exist! Gotta get one for my Bro.
The "Land Seek" is a vehicle-type known as a half-track. And the Rebel Army figures are all the same because they're the main Mooks. And the fella with the beret and the eyepatch is General Mordent, the LEADER of the Rebel Army. What kind of idiot DOESN'T like Metal Slug?
hey man you need to first of all put the direct link to items here, I can't even find the items with the search function. Secondly if you want to go a bit further , you can register in google analytic and generate a special link so you know how many people make the purchase base on this video. Anyway good luck with your biz.
How the hell did they leave Fio and Eri out of this? I get that they would have to be with enemy units, but it's not like the POW is driving one of these.
I am actually building the 1/35 metal slug tank made by Billion Spark Craftsmanship. It way better than this kit. Also check out the 1/35 S.Gunner also made by Billion Spark Craftsmanship. They are reall fun kits!
"What is that? Some kind of rifle."
No, its...
*HEAVY MACHINEGUN*
No, its "SHOTGUN"
No, it is a ROCKET LAWNCHAIR
@@shaggyrogers8869 No it’s “DROP SHOT”
it's laser gun
STONE !
Honestly, the forms of the Metal Slug vehicles makes me wish they would make an Advanced Wars line of Plamo sets!
Battalion Wars kits too.
Man of culture indeed
the bearded guy is a prisoner of war, when you rescue them, they take off their pants, dropping out a power-up they kept hidden for you
"THANK YOU!"
Zaku's lack of knowledge from Metal Slug really makes me wish he played the series. He missing out how fun Metal Slug is.
Yes
same.
I can hear the "Heavy Machine Gun" upgrade just seeing the title.
ROCKET LAWN CHAIR
Dont you mean the RAWKET LAWNCHUH!?
i know everyone always talks about the RAWKET LAWNCHAIR but to me metal slug always brings memories of the HEAVY MACHINE GUN sfx
I kept hearing THANK YOU
Tarma got so much love, where’s my girls Fio & Eri
@ZakuAurelius the "low-res background images" are so you can pose them with authentic backgrounds from the game they're in.
Diorama purposes if you will.
Oh nice! I didn’t think of that
It's like 3 AM Gotta watch those model kits Tho
You got that right
Same
I was gonna do it. But i manage to constraint myself n go to sleep. Close call.
Same
This game was like my childhood I remember spending so many quarters on this arcade game even today the game is such a blast to play
Such nostalgia, I didnt even know they still make Metal Slugs figures. A bit of Gluing and hand paint will definitely be awesome.
These are so cool! I spent so many quarters on the Metal Slug cabinet in the back of my hometown pizza joint as a kid--little me would have been stoked to see Metal Slug merch but a little intimidated by water slides and painting lol.
Can’t watch this without hearing ROCKET LAWNCHAIR in my head
Lol... HEAVY GRENADE!!!
Half tank + Half truck = Half-truck.
They're basically trucks with rear wheels replaced with treads so it goes over rough ground.
also that plane is literally just an egg plane version of a Harrier with some miniguns slapped on the nose
Omg I need these, literally just beat 4 again yesterday with my wife. I remember seeing the sprites as a kid and being amazed at how incredible the graphics were

i think those kind of trucks are called half tracks
Bless you for making this particular video! I didn't know if it was a good kit and this helped me decide.
I love this set! I would totally buy it when it becomes available! Meng has a series of kits called World War Toon and in that series the models are cartoon styled tanks like a Sherman, Tiger etc... I love them because you can take a break from being all serious and enjoy not having to be historically accurate with details and markings etc... so I’ll be watching for this set !
👁👁 I got Fio and a camel from a gacha. I NEED THIS BIG TIME!!!!
Where u got it from?
I didn't know I needed this until I saw this video.
same
Ahh man... This brings back memories. I used to play this after school with my friends on ps2
The plane is a cartoonish Harrier jump-jet with VTOL so posing flying with the landing gear down would be a cool way of showing it landing and taking off (do they need a stubby ramp like the F35? I can't remember, I'm sure I saw one take off vertically as a kid).
You should definitely play the game. Easy to run through and a total blast to play.
Maybe the big box is made to be used also as background.

I'm going around every metal slug related video to say that you can buy metal slug for the pc on steam.
Totally unrelated to video: Bandai is doing a Kotobukiya. Hope ZA gonna make a video about the oncoming 30 Minutes Sisters kits.
Mechagaikotsu is more likely to do video on those though
Thanks for this, i love the game and art style it has, so i always kept an eye on these kits. Nice to see a good and detailed review, so it's easier to decide on which one to get.
I had no idea Metal Slug kits were a thing 👀
Same now i need it
@@artasky6093 as a long-time Metal Slug Fan, I need this the most
The truck at point 28:38 is called a halftrack
"trunk" is probably the word that youre looking for that half truck half tank figure
The “helmet” on Morden’s UFO tank is something I will never be able to unsee.
Same here
*See Krakendress DX in background*
Me: Ahh, I see you're a man of culture as well
are you going to try out Billion Spark's fully articulated model kit version of the Metal Slug tank? seems like a cool side by side for this one and they even have the blue version instead of the classic gunmetal grey~
Aw yeah bump for Billion Spark,
Raw-kit Lawn Chair!!! 🚀
A truck with tank threads is called a halftrack
The little gray tank is from Masamune Shirow's ''Dominion'', if I'm not mistaken...
Can’t unsee Dominion Tank Police.
The truck would be referred to as a half track if memory serves.
Thanks, love seeing unique kits
MISSION 3 START!
I have the sv-001 tank ms evolve model kit and the slug s gunner
That would make some cool grot tanks for warhammer
Kinda sad it seems like you never played the game. The nostalgia with these is overwhelming.
I said I never played the game
@@ZakuAurelius ohhh i missed it when you said that. My bad. Still, great review as always!
Im sure they will release more of em, they let out Eri and Fio, but since Eri is paired with the weird robo legs an Fio with the Camel kinda makes me think that we are getting a secont wave at least, the enemies have a lot more vehicles too, not counting the bosses, like the airplanes, helicopters and maybe some Mars people stuff(?
I only see the plane and the tank as separate kits for pre-order on the site.
The rest should be added shortly
These look so cool. Not super familiar with the game, only played it casually a while ago, but definitely going to pick some up.
Oh yeah I remember most of military theme model kit has to be painted.
Half track is what you're looking for the term.
Dig the coldwar looking general and soldier figures...are these kits snap fit or is glue required?
I'm a huge fan of metal slug so I'm getting the kits
the truck is called a half track
@23:50 its called a half track
The truck design its called a halftrack
Metal Slug + Metal Gear = some sort of awesome cross over.
also, if anyone is looking for more realistic tank models, go check Hobby Lobby. I found some kits called World War Toons, which was some super cute chubby tanks (still with full detail) I was so close tog getting one, because.. Metal Slug. Good thing I checked the Internet though.
I'm so happy that Metal Slug Models exist! Gotta get one for my Bro.
I wonder if those images on the front of the large box so you can put the kids in a front of them and take photos as if they were in a scene?
Yes someone else suggested that and it now makes sense to me!
Those are certainly backgrounds from the game
A Half- track is what it is called.
I just got arcades nostalgia watching this. Time to install an emulator
The plane would look awesome with nendo narancia
So let me get this straight, there is a figure of Marco, Tarma, Hyakutaro, some random soldiers BUT no Eri or Fio?!!!, wth SNK?
**HEAVY STEEL BEAST SOUNDS**
I really wish we got a new main line Metalslug game
I can hear the narrator saying "HEAVY MACHINE GUN!"
That Moment when everyone in the comments knows more then the producer of the video
Play Metal Slug you buster. They're the most beautiful pixel art games ever made.
I’m too busy playing Genshin Impact! Haha 👀
So glad you’re doing a video on the metal slug x kits, but it broke my heart to call Marco (or just the character design) stupid. Try it out! 🤙🏼
*Flying saucer tank. I need these.
They look super cool
Zip Zack, thanks for different video!😎👍🏼
I hope they release more kits!
Its a shame this is the only rebel army AFVs and armor we get and they are gashapon figures.
The "Land Seek" is a vehicle-type known as a half-track. And the Rebel Army figures are all the same because they're the main Mooks. And the fella with the beret and the eyepatch is General Mordent, the LEADER of the Rebel Army.
What kind of idiot DOESN'T like Metal Slug?
oh god, where is Laughing morden expression?
Went to USA Gundam, selling individually, why not the box set?
So you can choose the ones you want
i need that SV 001 😢
You gotta do some World War Toons tank reviews
Where do I get one of those?
“I’ve never played Metal Slug” 🤦♂️
Couldn’t find them
hey man you need to first of all put the direct link to items here, I can't even find the items with the search function. Secondly if you want to go a bit further , you can register in google analytic and generate a special link so you know how many people make the purchase base on this video.

When will these be in store?
*ROCKIT LAWNCHAIR*
How the hell did they leave Fio and Eri out of this? I get that they would have to be with enemy units, but it's not like the POW is driving one of these.
Too bad about the half-assed packaging, but this set is as moe as it can get for Metal Slug fans :-)
So, I do not see a link nor can I find the kit in the store?
I think they aren’t on there yet but should be added soon
so do you guys sell the whole set? the website is only showing them as singles.
Only gonna be selling them individually as far as I know, that way you can choose which kits you want or don’t want
You should’ve played the game at least a little beforehand man. Such a short and great game.
I wish I have the harrier jet
Dude sleeping on the classic SNK pixel-art, "low-res" smh
Real talk I'm trying to find these on the USA Gundam store and there's no results for it. Too early?
i got my set from houseofhobbies.com
Yes too early! They’ll be added soon
the metal slug is my fav
Yooooo!!!!!!!! I f@&?!$/ love that game I didn’t know they had model kits but then again it’s Japanese........awesome!!!!🔥🐉🙊🙈🙉
all i hear is HEAVY MACHINE GUN ...!!!!
I'm not seeing these on usagundamstore right now. Will it be added later?
www.houseofhobbies.com has them, that's where i got mine
@@chainsawmang Thanks I will check it out. Looks like they have other items not listed on the gundam sites :)
They’ll be added soon !
Love it, is it copy righted?
This is a licensed release
@@ZakuAurelius must buy it then!
I want to see MS Alice too lol
I am actually building the 1/35 metal slug tank made by Billion Spark Craftsmanship. It way better than this kit. Also check out the 1/35 S.Gunner also made by Billion Spark Craftsmanship. They are reall fun kits!
