All these pretentious people saying its a display piece. Display piece or collectors item, its still a toy no matter what excuse you give. We're adults who buy toys. Get over it. And for the price you pay for it, you darn better be able to play with it.
I agree, but please don’t play with it. They are so fragile at the hinges. I’ve broken 3 hinges between megazord and dragonzord just setting it up for display.
@@williambernard4633 By the time I got on their site that day it was already sold out, but I'm gonna get the new Dragon Dagger next month for sure lol.
Everyone is complaining about how nit picky he’s being. I mean, is it not a good thing he has to be so nit picky to find problems with this figure? Doesn’t that say more about how good the figure is?
In my opinion, this is the best Megazord I've ever had, it's so official comparing to the others. I really love the articulation for a collector like me it's the best because it's not a toy it's a collection piece. I agree about the wheels in the Saber-tooth-tiger and the Triceratops, and I also agree with the Mastodon legs movements. But this is not a great requirement if we compare the other versions. This Megazord is totally approved by me.
Its expensive because its a soul of chogokin which are figures with massive amounts of diecast metal hell even the old chogokins were expensive Also a majority of what you complaining are flaws that most megazords still have especially with the pink's zord
and are inherent with the original design. The Pteranodon exists solely to fly, and fold its wings and head into its body to form the chest plate of the humanoid robot.
The pterodactyl connects just fine in both modes in the original deluxe version, and those wheels in tank mode were movable. I still want to get this one day though, looks gorgeous.
It won't. Once Dragonzord was announced, the speculators started buying up these figures like there was no tomorrow, now you'll be lucky to score one below 400. I got lucky in preorders on Amazon when it was first announced and scored this for 175 or so before Amazon got the actual SRP for this, and price jumped to 275.
I've had mine for 4 months, and already, I don't ever want to transform it again. The triceratops' neck feels like it's gonna break if I do, and the joints on the mastodon are all worn out. I understand it's a display piece and not a toy, but part of the appeal for me was being able to switch from the five zords, to tank mode, to megaword and back. And being able to switch it to various poses. I wanted it for its (presumed) versatility, not to be a statue. Honestly, the original '93 Megazord held up better in that regard. Would love to know how other people's SoC Megazord is holding up over time.
I've had mine for about a year and i play with it as a toy anyway. Are there flaws with it?? Of course what PR toy doesnt have its flaws. My main thing was about the wheels not moving and half of the other complaints i wrote off as not being able to for transformation purposes
Patrick Foster oh wow they got one thing wrong, well if you compare it to the things they got right, I would rather have one thing wrong then a bunch of things wrong. Also, the legacy was just a die cast version of the 2010 megazord.
Here is why I don't buy expensive toys, I like to play with my figures. But how can o play with something like this, that feels like I'm gonna break it and scratch it, and is not like if that happens I can either buy a new one or sell it for the same amount I got it. I will be losing a lot of money, so yea I prefer the original 90s is cheaper 😂. Great video like always.
The one thing Soul of Chogokin has over the legacy is the love some Zords got like triceratops and mastodon. I wish hasbro would keep that idea and add to it by giving us wheels and movable legs on mastodon so we can use the canons
OK, I know this video is over a year old at this point, but every point made here, while valid towards an american toy megazord, doesnt stand up to a collector item such as this. The lack of wheels is to keep it as close to show accurate as possible, the pterodactyl literally IS just a flat piece in the show, I dont know what you think they could have done better, and they were clearly focused on pose-ability for the megazord mode as a priority. So what if the separate parts dont move, are you really ever going pose them like that when the megazord is insanely accurate? It can pose better than some action figures man. It is also literally filled with diecast, whereas the american one has just enough to keep it steady and even at that, struggles when combined with dragonzord or titanus. The pricepoint has to reflect these.
I bought mine for 200 with free shipping. My only real problem was the lack of actual wheels but its still better than the legacy megazord in my opinion. Everything else talked about i dont really care about
I was on the fence about this thing for years now. Never particularly cared about Soul of Chogokin toys to be honest. Always thought they were more style than substance and no toy should cost over 200. It is sheer lunacy after a point. But as said at the start of this video "It is not a choice to be rushed into" Now the honeymoon phase of this thing is well and truly over and watching "5 reasons NOT to buy" and "5 reasons you SHOULD buy" about 600 times leading up to this Christmas. I decided "What the heck? You can't spend it when you are dead right?" So it now has the distinction of being the only SOC that I will ever own. Top videos. I love the self reflection before running out and shelling out hard on coin on something like this. Can only imagine what the reactions were like 5 years ago when this toy was released.
this is why despite growing up with the power rangers and not G1 Transformers I enjoy transformer figures more. Power Ranger figures are just so limited in what they can do so stiff. While yeah the G1 toys sucked Transformers got better over time. Ranger toys remained almost unchanged in terms of complexity and posing. It is sad to because I love the Looks of a lot of zords but the simple transformations and lack of posing kills it for me every time, not to mention the cost.
im picturing you sitting at your computer thinking of video ideas and you came up with this 5 reasons to buy/not to buy and did the reasons to buy first then thought "shit this things damn good im gonna have to get really nit picky" because all these reasons are nit picky, especially the pose ability issue, i can agree for the most part with no wheels or finicky to transform but this is the first toy robot of all of power rangers and super sentai to have this much articulation ever and your telling people not to buy it cause he cant look up? i bought it just because it has elbows, ive waited 25 years for those damn elbows, im not saying dont pick out its faults because yeah its not perfect but saying dont buy it for those faults is way to strong
He gave 5 reasons not to buy it so is up to your choice to buy it or not he didn’t force u to but he gave you more detail information about the figure itself for those who haven’t own this should be happy to see this video which help them knowing what he really is buying. There’s always someone very picky about collector’s item such as this when we need to pay a crazy amount of money for this we should know it better and this video help those picky collectors to have a better understanding when they make their choices. Furthermore, I am sure he didn’t sitting at his computer thinking about the video ideas only cuz he need to spend a long time with this figure to know what reasons not to buy it.
The only things I can agree with you on is its higher than should be price and the lack of wheels (though not really that big of a deal in my book, but would have been cool). I was fortunate to get mine for $170 on Amazon back in Dec, so I didn't pay full price. With that said, I'm sorry, but the Legacy Megazord is a shit toy. Stickers instead of painted and sculpted details. Tyrannosaurus looks gimped with those tiny arms and those big nudges on his legs. Not to mention the colors on the Legacy figure are not even show accurate. The one of a kind argument also seems like a stretch just to make this list be five things. It's the only fully combining Daizyuzin figure out there that is all sculpt/paint with no stickers. Plus, why would I need to have other mechs/Megazords to go with him? I already have the Legacy Dragonzord and Titanus, so I have a complete set of the Zyuranger mechs and it's not like Jetman, Dairanger, and Kakuranger are part of the Zyuranger universe. They are all their own separate universes, so I don't need to have them all be from the same line. Now of course we know at this point that Dragon Ceasar is coming, which is great (though I'm wondering how expensive a King Brachion will be if they do one), so he has his companion there, but it wasn't a requirement. Daizyuzin stands out on his own as he should.
I managed to luckily snag a Soul of Chogokin Megazord off a guy on eBay who needed to sell it quickly for $120! Very nice guy, I was limited on cash, and he was in dire need of it, so we both agreed on the sale, It was a super lucky find for me, and I hope the cash helped the fella out, I'm sure it wasn't easy to let this beauty go for less than half it's worth.
first, the thunder megazord is more expensive than the soul of chogokin version. so i don't know your math about buying 3 legacy zords for the price of 1 SOC. second, yes there may be wheels in triceratops and sabretooth tiger zords, but there are some features in these zords that compensate for lack of those (like opening mouths, weapons, added heft to the triceratops body, etc), heck i'd even buy this because they gave justice to the pterodactyl zord finally! 3rd, if you know that this is a collector's item you don't risk to play with it or irresponsibly drop it. And finally, there's the dragonzord
Oh my god but the soul of chogokin is so faboo, but I would invest that money in my retirement, toys from the past appreciate in value but any toys made in the last ten years are going to need a century to appreciate for retirement
The Pterodactyl Dinozord/Shugouzyuu Pteranodon having a rather precarious connection has *always* been that way. The original Deluxe mold is probably the only exception in the regard that as the chest, it's pretty solid, but as the hood ornament of the Dinotanker...that thing drops off if you look at it wrong.
I like the Legacy Megazord and Dragonzord better and ended up choosing to order them over the Soul of Chogokin releases today. No regrets. I heard the Soul of Chogokin figures get cloudy, gross looking metallic/chrome parts very quickly like cheap jewelry. Watch Jobby's SOC dragonzord review to see firsthand exactly what I am talking about. I like the Legacy ones better anyway.
I love that figure. Although I am not really a Power Rangers fan I am just a fan of some of the Megazord robots. I would not know all of the fine little details that you would. I am like that with Transformers. I really want to get my hands on a high-end version of the Zeo Megazord. there was another one that was made up of five or six humanoid robots as well I would like to get but I cannot remember what it was called.
Until another re-release of the Legacy Megazord comes around again, then I will pick one up. However the Legacy Megazors is almost the same price as the SoC and I prefer not to pay that much for the Legacy Megazord
Yikes, thanks for unselling me on this. I originally had both the encore Legacy MMPR Megazord, for it's combination and size, as well as the Robots Damashii Megazord for it's pose-ability and I felt like a chump when this thing rolled out when it supposedly had both in one package though. Thankfully this video had me convinced that the 120 some bucks for the two die-cast boys was worth way more than this 300 dollar junk heap. Heck, with the rest of the money I didn't spend on this one, I could've also bought the mini-pla model kits, which are somehow twice as durable and pose-able and also combine with a mini-pla Dragon and UltraZord to boot.
Sry but what kind of (sry again) really dumb Reasons are this: "They dont roll" - Its a Collectionpiece, NO TOY! "Teradactyl is not that nice" - The Original dont do so much more and the connectior works totaly fine. I repeat: Its not a Toy to play with. The whole "Humpy Dumpty"-Point: that why Stands exist. And the Shoulderpads are Brilliant. U can easy and accurate modify them. No. 4: Dragonzord is announced in the planing since Sep. 2017 (ofc u couldnt know this because of the releasedate of the Video) but why count this as a "not buy" Argument after a so short of time the Zord itself is released. After the Announcement of the Legacy Megazord, there also wasnt a a plan abount the Dragonzord.... And No. 5. Ofc he is expensiv. Which wonder if u see how much better this thing is against the Legacy-Line. How much more gimmics, accuracy and so on. i Agree to just 2 points: its sad, that the Mastodon Feet are stiff and the Cannons are to high as Megazord. But this are "2 Reasons, why the GX-72 isnt perfect", not "reasons not to buy". The rest of your Points are totaly over the top.
If you have any experiences with the SOC line of toys at all, IMO you will be rather disappointed with the Megazord release as I was, It's weak in terms of effort they put in engineering the toy but still charge you premium it. I mean just purely in the toy alone the SOC Gaogaigar, Voltron, Gunbuster just to list a few, are way better engineered and similarly priced to the megazord.
YOu do realize there is a difference though, right? Golion, Gaogaigar, and Gunbuster are mechs from anime series. Daizyuzin is a mech from a live action series. It's not stylized and thin like the aforementioned trio because it has an actual person inside of the costume, so it has to be built around a human body. The SOC toy is recapturing that effect. It can do everything the suit actor can on screen, and that is what matters most of all.
Kaiju no Kami Kaiju no Kami I ended up pre-ordering it when it first came out and I haven’t opened it because I was disappointed after seeing all of the reviews. Non movable wheels were a factor for me because it wouldn’t have been that hard to implement that into the figure. If it was just going to be a display piece, they wouldn’t have made it so posable. Speaking of posing, I know it’s an inherent issue with the design, but I wish they found a better solution for having a waist swivel on the t-Rex, but not the megazord. Some of the half measures they implemented on this figure make me regret missing out on the SRC Daizyujin. Speaking of the SRC, posing aside, that one came with more accessories, why couldn’t this one do the same? If pricing was an issue, then they shouldn’t have released Voltron right before it which had a ton of accessories, which could’ve understandably been sold separately for an additional price. I still pre-ordered the Dragonzord, and that one seems amazing so it’s making me want to open my Megazord when I receive it, but I agree with this video and jackblackwhole. It’s amazing for power rangers/Super Sentai merchandise, but compared to Soul Of Chogokin, they’ve done better.
You let the lack of wheels keep you from liking the best Daizyuzin figure of all time? o_O As for the waist swivel, what do you mean it's an issue on Tyrannosaurus? Now I do agree that it would have been cool if it had included more accessories, but again, Daizyuzin is not Golion. You can't compare a thicker, man in a suit machine to a thinner, sleeker, anime mech. Golion came with stuff because he was cheaper to produce and everthing he came with was stuff he had in the show. Daizyuzin is the same. He comes with everything he had in the show. Finally, I couldn't care less how he compares to other SOCs as I bought him because he is in Zyuranger.
btw idk where u got the idea from that the shoulders r folded fully in in thank mode? if u look at the show or instruction they r fully opened, past their nomal position that u do for megazord mode
Sir, you don't know the target audience for this line up. It meant for you to take photo. Not to play with. That is why the high price. It is not a toy. You can look it up. As long as you ask the right person, they will tell you it is for display or photo only. Not a toy.
Part of me feels like if they do lightning line versions of the zords they should limit the diecast used in them, since that seems to be a major problem with legacy mmpr. Also they should have them all ready to go around the same time, maybe release each major set every 2 months. The problems of designing a toy to combine with something not designed to really has been a problem with these legacy lines. Only the falcon and ninja legacy stuff seem to have been designed with future releases in mind. RIP legacy shogun megazord.
2 months will probably be a bit intense for most people given that they'd be about $100 each. But depends how they do it, so you see them fully duplicating whole seasons or just main megazords?
@@powerrangertube True, it's just a random time I threw out. Just misremembered how long it took for bandai to finish season 1, minus the re-release to fix the power sword. Although even then they were reusing the 2010 mold, so they only had to fully design 2 zords really. I really hope they do all the zords of a season if they end up doing it. Not having Tor would be weird. He has more to do then Titanus when you think about it. He can store the red dragon and tigerzord. have a kind of standing warrior mode, and the ultrazord combo. Titanus while visually more appealing, only makes the ultrazord really. Besides, the absurdity of Tor just landing on top of a monster to kill them is well worth a lightning line release. I just hope they don't do something like Silver Titanus. The only way they could sell him is if they made him an event exclusive. As for non mmpr seasons, I don't see it happening. Figures are one thing, but megazords are expensive in comparison. I can't imagine them doing roughly two decades worth of megazords in the same quality as the legacy line with every season's zord. Not unless they do what super megaforce did with the red ranger figures, release only the main megazords of each season.
I guess your new to Chogokins.... Soul of Chogokin figures aren't toys dude, they are high quality collectibles. Sure DaiZyuJin may have a few flaws but that doesn't matter since chogokins aren't made for play. (The Legacy Megazord is just a brick with stickers compared to the SoC sooo....yeah)
Well after the video they released the SOC dragonzord and SOC titanus is releasing april of 2019. I need this megazord but not paying like almost double retail for it so I have to wait. I got the SOC dragonzord sonjust playing the waiting game since the regular megazord is all i need since already preordered titanus
Thanks, you just saved me 300 bucks. I'll stick with my super posable, and fully die-cast SH Figuarts. Smaller, but much better than this overpriced crap. thanks again!
@@69PoloW69 bandais s.h.figuarts line stopped using diecast long before the rangers and doesn't have any robots in that line... Again, you don't mean figuarts. The only super robot toy lines bandai has is super robot chogokin and soul of chogokin...
Omg it’s not a toy it’s a collector’s item the wheels aren’t meant to move your not meant to transform it a lot not ment to move a lot and it’s expensive bc of all the movements
I never bought this piece of shit because I already have most of the LEgacy Megazords... So thank you for reminding me to never buy SOC Megazord. Even if SOC DragonZord is out and the upcoming SOC Titanus.
I felt conflicted about all these high price tag SOC purchases so also made the opposite video about it - obviously I convinced myself to get them all, but these are things I think are worth knowing (though reason 4 doesn't apply anymore)
All these pretentious people saying its a display piece. Display piece or collectors item, its still a toy no matter what excuse you give. We're adults who buy toys. Get over it. And for the price you pay for it, you darn better be able to play with it.
I agree, but please don’t play with it. They are so fragile at the hinges. I’ve broken 3 hinges between megazord and dragonzord just setting it up for display.
1: I don't have $300
2: I don't have $300
3: I don't have $300
4: I don't have $300

Somehow...
You guys better buy the SRC one; it’s cheaper but able to do various articulations
I had that one but didn't really care for it.
Oh my god but the soul of chogokin is so faboo, but I would invest that money in my retirement, toys from the past appreciate in value but any toys made in the last ten years are going to need a century to appreciate for retirement
The Pterodactyl Dinozord/Shugouzyuu Pteranodon having a rather precarious connection has *always* been that way. The original Deluxe mold is probably the only exception in the regard that as the chest, it's pretty solid, but as the hood ornament of the Dinotanker...that thing drops off if you look at it wrong.
That Power Sword is ridiculously oversized
I like the Legacy Megazord and Dragonzord better and ended up choosing to order them over the Soul of Chogokin releases today. No regrets. I heard the Soul of Chogokin figures get cloudy, gross looking metallic/chrome parts very quickly like cheap jewelry. Watch Jobby's SOC dragonzord review to see firsthand exactly what I am talking about. I like the Legacy ones better anyway.
Got mine for 120 as soon as it came out and now its 500 just got my dragonzord looks so much better than legacy and the combos look badass
Fun fact a friend of mine actually modified his soul of Chogokin megazord to give it wheels
Wait how
@@Dairobo10 I don't know
That is brave
I love that figure. Although I am not really a Power Rangers fan I am just a fan of some of the Megazord robots. I would not know all of the fine little details that you would. I am like that with Transformers. I really want to get my hands on a high-end version of the Zeo Megazord. there was another one that was made up of five or six humanoid robots as well I would like to get but I cannot remember what it was called.
Until another re-release of the Legacy Megazord comes around again, then I will pick one up. However the Legacy Megazors is almost the same price as the SoC and I prefer not to pay that much for the Legacy Megazord
Yikes, thanks for unselling me on this. I originally had both the encore Legacy MMPR Megazord, for it's combination and size, as well as the Robots Damashii Megazord for it's pose-ability and I felt like a chump when this thing rolled out when it supposedly had both in one package though. Thankfully this video had me convinced that the 120 some bucks for the two die-cast boys was worth way more than this 300 dollar junk heap. Heck, with the rest of the money I didn't spend on this one, I could've also bought the mini-pla model kits, which are somehow twice as durable and pose-able and also combine with a mini-pla Dragon and UltraZord to boot.
I paid for this beautiful product I'm happy 🙌🙌🙌🙌
Man, this was informative. Thanks for the vid!
Mate its not a toy its a collectable thats not meant to be played with only meant for showing off the transformation rather than constantly doing it
Sry but what kind of (sry again) really dumb Reasons are this:
"They dont roll" - Its a Collectionpiece, NO TOY!
"Teradactyl is not that nice" - The Original dont do so much more and the connectior works totaly fine. I repeat: Its not a Toy to play with.
The whole "Humpy Dumpty"-Point: that why Stands exist.
And the Shoulderpads are Brilliant. U can easy and accurate modify them.
No. 4: Dragonzord is announced in the planing since Sep. 2017 (ofc u couldnt know this because of the releasedate of the Video) but why count this as a "not buy" Argument after a so short of time the Zord itself is released.
After the Announcement of the Legacy Megazord, there also wasnt a a plan abount the Dragonzord....
And No. 5. Ofc he is expensiv. Which wonder if u see how much better this thing is against the Legacy-Line. How much more gimmics, accuracy and so on.
i Agree to just 2 points: its sad, that the Mastodon Feet are stiff and the Cannons are to high as Megazord.
But this are "2 Reasons, why the GX-72 isnt perfect", not "reasons not to buy".
The rest of your Points are totaly over the top.
your "side by side" point is silly. Sry, really, i try to be constructive. But your points are just like i said. :/
If you have any experiences with the SOC line of toys at all, IMO you will be rather disappointed with the Megazord release as I was, It's weak in terms of effort they put in engineering the toy but still charge you premium it. I mean just purely in the toy alone the SOC Gaogaigar, Voltron, Gunbuster just to list a few, are way better engineered and similarly priced to the megazord.
YOu do realize there is a difference though, right? Golion, Gaogaigar, and Gunbuster are mechs from anime series. Daizyuzin is a mech from a live action series. It's not stylized and thin like the aforementioned trio because it has an actual person inside of the costume, so it has to be built around a human body. The SOC toy is recapturing that effect. It can do everything the suit actor can on screen, and that is what matters most of all.
Kaiju no Kami Kaiju no Kami I ended up pre-ordering it when it first came out and I haven’t opened it because I was disappointed after seeing all of the reviews. Non movable wheels were a factor for me because it wouldn’t have been that hard to implement that into the figure. If it was just going to be a display piece, they wouldn’t have made it so posable.
Speaking of posing, I know it’s an inherent issue with the design, but I wish they found a better solution for having a waist swivel on the t-Rex, but not the megazord. Some of the half measures they implemented on this figure make me regret missing out on the SRC Daizyujin.
Speaking of the SRC, posing aside, that one came with more accessories, why couldn’t this one do the same? If pricing was an issue, then they shouldn’t have released Voltron right before it which had a ton of accessories, which could’ve understandably been sold separately for an additional price.
I still pre-ordered the Dragonzord, and that one seems amazing so it’s making me want to open my Megazord when I receive it, but I agree with this video and jackblackwhole. It’s amazing for power rangers/Super Sentai merchandise, but compared to Soul Of Chogokin, they’ve done better.
You let the lack of wheels keep you from liking the best Daizyuzin figure of all time? o_O
As for the waist swivel, what do you mean it's an issue on Tyrannosaurus?
Now I do agree that it would have been cool if it had included more accessories, but again, Daizyuzin is not Golion. You can't compare a thicker, man in a suit machine to a thinner, sleeker, anime mech. Golion came with stuff because he was cheaper to produce and everthing he came with was stuff he had in the show. Daizyuzin is the same. He comes with everything he had in the show.
Finally, I couldn't care less how he compares to other SOCs as I bought him because he is in Zyuranger.
I'll just wait for Hasbro to finally make a competent Megazord figure.
Agreed.
By the time you wait these are gonna skyrocket in prices
Good luck with that because they won’t unless they go the haslab route and it will probably cost more.
thank you this video was very informative
I have ONE GOOD REASON though. I can't travel back in time (28 years ago) to give it to my kid self. What am I gonna do about it at 35?
For the years these toys have been on the market u would think they would make the better in the articulation page
the chest you need to push further so it will fit
btw idk where u got the idea from that the shoulders r folded fully in in thank mode? if u look at the show or instruction they r fully opened, past their nomal position that u do for megazord mode
I'm gonna watch the other before I make my decisions!!!
+Jeffery Husk do it! It's an impressive megazord model.
Sir, you don't know the target audience for this line up. It meant for you to take photo. Not to play with. That is why the high price. It is not a toy. You can look it up. As long as you ask the right person, they will tell you it is for display or photo only. Not a toy.
many of the criticism is from the prospective of you seeing this as a toy
its a figure, not a toy
*hardly posable figure
So are masterpiece transformers and they cater to all of the faults above.
Still a toy
4 is a lie. Dragonzord is coming out.
Did amazon shipping charge cost you even more? Struggling to find this for sale anywhere...
Why would you play with this model? It’s more of a collector’s item anyway
The Legacy is good enough. As the SOC can't really pose all that well. Compare to the SOC voltron.
I'm still getting this one
Part of me feels like if they do lightning line versions of the zords they should limit the diecast used in them, since that seems to be a major problem with legacy mmpr. Also they should have them all ready to go around the same time, maybe release each major set every 2 months. The problems of designing a toy to combine with something not designed to really has been a problem with these legacy lines. Only the falcon and ninja legacy stuff seem to have been designed with future releases in mind. RIP legacy shogun megazord.
2 months will probably be a bit intense for most people given that they'd be about $100 each. But depends how they do it, so you see them fully duplicating whole seasons or just main megazords?
@@powerrangertube True, it's just a random time I threw out. Just misremembered how long it took for bandai to finish season 1, minus the re-release to fix the power sword. Although even then they were reusing the 2010 mold, so they only had to fully design 2 zords really.
I really hope they do all the zords of a season if they end up doing it. Not having Tor would be weird. He has more to do then Titanus when you think about it. He can store the red dragon and tigerzord. have a kind of standing warrior mode, and the ultrazord combo. Titanus while visually more appealing, only makes the ultrazord really.
Besides, the absurdity of Tor just landing on top of a monster to kill them is well worth a lightning line release. I just hope they don't do something like Silver Titanus. The only way they could sell him is if they made him an event exclusive.
As for non mmpr seasons, I don't see it happening. Figures are one thing, but megazords are expensive in comparison. I can't imagine them doing roughly two decades worth of megazords in the same quality as the legacy line with every season's zord. Not unless they do what super megaforce did with the red ranger figures, release only the main megazords of each season.
Perhaps they could announce everything that can be combined at the same time, but with staggered, fixed release dates.
I still will buy
2:05 Dude daizyujin doesnt have a neck so they had no choice but to not give him a balljoint idk why people dont understand
Yeah that's true, this being an action figure isn't the whole point of buying it.
I still have my original.
Why do the 90s toys still seem like the best deal if they remade them?
I guess your new to Chogokins.... Soul of Chogokin figures aren't toys dude, they are high quality collectibles. Sure DaiZyuJin may have a few flaws but that doesn't matter since chogokins aren't made for play. (The Legacy Megazord is just a brick with stickers compared to the SoC sooo....yeah)
I think collectors toys are slowly going down in quality because they don’t expect you to open it
I think i'm good with my Legacy Megazord.
why would anyone give up a die cast megazord for a fully plastic one?
Agreed
300 dollars and the original 93 version had wheels for tank mode
Your forgetting that was a kid ma toy not a collectible
Too late . Got mine, waiting for the dragonzord
Personally my biggest issue with this set is it's lack of long term durability and it's pointless metal
What is the definitive version of the Dino megazord?
You're complaining about the individual zords when we all know no one is going to display them in their dino zord mode anyway lol
For a minute there i thought i was watching Chris Stuckmann
I'll take that as a compliment
Nr 3 isnt that with every collectible?
Well after the video they released the SOC dragonzord and SOC titanus is releasing april of 2019. I need this megazord but not paying like almost double retail for it so I have to wait. I got the SOC dragonzord sonjust playing the waiting game since the regular megazord is all i need since already preordered titanus
how much the legacy megazord cost now in the aftermarket?
It's really come down recently from the high a few years ago. It's around £100 for a used one with all the parts now
.... Buy the minipla instead
Great review 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Ok, so there’s 5 reasons not to buy it
Next to about 95 reasons I want to buy it
Thanks, you just saved me 300 bucks. I'll stick with my super posable, and fully die-cast SH Figuarts. Smaller, but much better than this overpriced crap. thanks again!
69PoloW69 wut... I don't think you meant figuarts??
@@fillerbunnyninjashark271 yes I do.
@@69PoloW69 bandais s.h.figuarts line stopped using diecast long before the rangers and doesn't have any robots in that line... Again, you don't mean figuarts. The only super robot toy lines bandai has is super robot chogokin and soul of chogokin...
I have an original one, still in the box!!
I still have the original
I find number 2 EXTREMELY nit picky. Like come on. A freaking tiny piece of plastic to help the thing stand better. Please
This mecha is 100% diecast ! 😍😍
Not 100%*
Omg it’s not a toy it’s a collector’s item the wheels aren’t meant to move your not meant to transform it a lot not ment to move a lot and it’s expensive bc of all the movements
I have the red guy alone
So glad i build gunpla
I can think of one reason not to watch your channel.
So because his opinion is different than yours, you don't deem him worth watching?
Got a problem with legitimate points?
I never bought this piece of shit because I already have most of the LEgacy Megazords... So thank you for reminding me to never buy SOC Megazord. Even if SOC DragonZord is out and the upcoming SOC Titanus.
So... No reason at all for me. >_>; That Legacy looks like trash next to it, lol.
Is this megazord a limited edition?
+Jon Crane not really, it's commercially available but obviously will sell out at some point!
its for display
Just stop supporting the SOC in general :D
When you buy at the first place? It is a collectible , not a toy. Go buy a toy, little boy
I bought one anyhow.
Now i dont know to buy it or not. LIKe TO BUY IT REPLIE A COMMENT TO NOT.
then why did you buy it, just to make this video
I felt conflicted about all these high price tag SOC purchases so also made the opposite video about it - obviously I convinced myself to get them all, but these are things I think are worth knowing (though reason 4 doesn't apply anymore)
this is a display adult collectable peace , not a toy lol
Im glad u made this vid. Im soo not buying that thing lol
