Amazing Yamaguchi Batman Kaiyodo Revoltech DC Action Figure Review

- I love the Kaiyodo Amazing Yamaguchi line, and I also hate it. It's a Revoltech roller coaster, and I know it's my own personal preferences getting in the way. But I'll be honest, the Batman is pretty awesome....except for the cape. That had to go. You already knew that though.

People say "this line is bad because the joints stick out!" But I think they fail to understand that joints not being shown often is a limitation on figures and that's why I love this line is because if u want the most comic of comic poses this is the figures u want.
YES the heavy guitar riff is back to differentiate the review videos from his other videos, life is good again!
Haha, I heard the outcry!
the cloth cape makes this figure 10x better for me. I actually wouldnt mind this on my general dc shelf, its not as exaggerated as the other figures.
Yeah, almost a different style from the rest of the line.
@@TheFwoosh this would make a good flash point custom
The Fwoosh, I just need to know where I can get a cape like this before I get the figure. Lol
That wired cape looks hella awesome on this figure! I agree with you on the revoltech capes, just odd configurations. P.S. the Gus segments get me everytime lol
Shartimus has BTLD Spidey.
Robo has Gus.
Only the best reviewers have mascots
Here we go, will robo convince me to buy this and spend money I don’t have?
Wait for the bootleg
The bootleg wolverine I got is awesome came with 2 right hands for extras but still awesome
Robo, fantastic review! What I like the most about your review is that you showed us the cape, you talked about seeing where it could be cool but at the end of the day admitted you didn't want to use it and didn't like it. Nothing wrong with that at all! Great job.
the art on the inlay: Dc Convergence Batman Gotham by Gaslight vs. the Shazam family, that middle frame is from new 52 justice league, and on the left is batman hush.
I've been waiting to see this review since this figured was announced. I'm so glad you found a cloth cape. That's exactly the kind of cape I wanted. Now I can buy this figure.
I love those interactions between different figures and Guz, it's what I live for
Am i the only one really liking the cap? For me this line is really focus on posing. No Yamaguchi is in my shelf without a crazy dynamic pose and that's why a buy them. If i want a classic batman with a "clean" look I'll take a mafex or s.h figuarts or a horrible dc matel figure.
But the cape has nothing to do with wanting a Batman that can do crazy poses. I do the same with all of my Yamaguchi figures. It's more about the frustration of having another figure on the back of the figure you want. I have Batman crouched down and perched like no other Batman on my shelf can even do, and it's complemented by the cloth cape, not a cape that will take up half the shelf just trying to lie right. That's not me taking away from you liking the cape though, I'm glad you do.
Robo after just these 2 replaced revoltech capes you have enough revoltech joints to make your own action figures lol
Great review as always
Bwahaha, I didn't realize that, you're completely right.
Love this huge DC fan and this looks amazing great review wish I could get this figure
Nyz..review...got mine recently..and loving it as it is...lets just say i enjoy possing my toys 😊 i have patience for that😄...though i have a cloth cape on hand, but i think i wont be putting it anytime soon...looking forward on your next review an fwoosh weekly😊
Very nice figure,I'm so glad ur able to switch the frowning face out cause that made up my mind on buying this figure.I just started collecting Revoltech so I picked up Carnage,Venom,Deadpool,Predator & Wolverine so im pretty impressed so far.
I just subscribed today!
Great video
Thanks man, I appreciate that!
Oh, that cape... thank you for the 2 Queen references within a minute. Love your reviews. Looking forward for this week’s 2 weeklies.
That second one was unintentional, but dang did it work out. May not be 2 Weeklys, may be one long one, I've got a lot of stuff written down. Thanks man!
Nice review buddy! And man... you should see my comment section cause I ripped on revoltechs cape in my review on this figure lol. Some people love their capes while others don’t, at all. Everyone has their preferences. I swapped mine with a wired cloth cape too and the figure is a zillion times better
Heyllo daredevil!!😆😁✌🏽👍🏽
Alex Benedikt hello
MutuallySustainedHateBoner Inc lol that’s funny... I don’t recall mentioning that once in my review, that I have capes for sale... 🤔 If you don’t like my content and are annoyed by it, why are you watching it lol it’s simple enough to just not watch, ya know 🤦♂️
I actually like both of your guys second party cape It definitely makes the figure look a lot better
marco flores definitely!! Makes the figure a zillion times better. Never liked the plastic articulated capes or the rubbery capes, always like a wired cloth cape on a figure
It’s a good looking figure, thanks for providing the link for the third party cape maker, that makes this decision all the easier.
I mean Im not a real fan of this line but ill watch your videos because youre an awesome dude who reviews an rambles on about figures, gotta show my support
New collector and subscriber, I love your videos thank you for doing this figure I will most definitely try to find it
I received mine yesterday, unboxed, and upon assembling the cape, I quickly disassemble & put him back in the box until I got time to either make or buy a cloth cape.
Yup, I only messed with it long enough to give some thoughts and to make sure my initial fears were right. They were. Goodbye hell cape.
Good review robo it’s a really nice figure and I like it better with the custom cape too!
Seeing the pics online I thought I'd like the cape BUUUUT after seeing this..... Nope. Still might get it though.
Awsome Action Figure review
Was on the fence till I saw it with the cloth cape. Now I want.
Happy to see they didn’t mess up the shoulders like on some of the other. My favorite from the line is Wolverine, but can’t justify the price, would def pick one up on sale.
The cloth cape made a huge different in many aspects. Keep on going the reviews Robo.
I wanna buy this and the Mafex Batman Hush vr. Great review Robo😎👍
Great review Robo! Yeah the included cape looks like a nightmare. The cloth one looks much better. Glad to see Batman & Pete getting along, lol.
Yeah, I heard they ended up beating on the Joker and some Snowtroopers later, it was intense.
Huge Batman fan (and huge fan of your channel), but idk if I want to risk the many possible injuries with posing that cape! 🤣 Great review, Robo! 👍
Haha, yeah, at first I thought it was softer, but those things are sharp!
Being the massive batman fan I am
I need this right now.
Snacks at this hour? Always kills me 😂😂
Great review as always. I love the professional photos on the box with the cape, they look awesome, but I know that I couldn't be bothered to mess with that thing every time, so I'm with you on the cloth cape.
Actually, and maybe it's just the lighting? It's the face that looks off to me, like there's shading on the rest of the figure but the chin/mouth looks one single flesh colour? Maybe the face printing is spoiling me?
Great video. Still not sure how I feel about this figure, and this line in general. Guess I'll see when I get mine in hand. Good job dude.
The line is definitely an entity to itself.
@@TheFwoosh some of the figures I really like but most of them just annoy me to know end. It's like, I like the Wolverine so I had to get the Magneto, I love the Carnage so I have to have the Venom, I love how that Deathstroke is looking so I didn't want to pass on Batman, which I think looks good but that cape is already giving me nightmares and I don't even have him in hand yet, and so on. You know how that collector life be.
Great stuff! I'm really surprised at how much I like the overall style of this Batman. That wired cape is a game-changer - the revoltech one looks like he's carrying a bunch of broken aluminum siding.
Friggin innovative 😱
That cloth cape was the icing on the...uh "cape" 🤷♂️😆👏
Agreed about the cape. Good review.
Love this figure. Can you imagine an amazing yamaguchi joker. Really skinny with a flowing tale coat.
Oh man, I know they have Deathstroke coming to pair up with this Batman, but I'm going to NEED a Joker!
The Fwoosh the amazing yamaguchi line is mostly buff guys but I’d love joker to be thin.
8:09 I bought this figure for 2weeks but i dont know that articulations lol THANK YOU!
Yeah man! Your cape makes the figure so so so much better.
Great review ever! Like your video man. Can I ask where do you get the cloth cape? I like both style of this batman. I am thinking should i get 2 of them with different cape.
the included cape is sculpted to resemble Sharp comic-book line art, I have never seen such a theatrically-striking "Solid-yet-posable" plastic cape. its part of the playability, once you get it into an appreciable pose, you can appreciate it. the way you "connected the dots" didn't give it justice and was in fact awkward, forces you to be more creative then you normally are, its like you said; its kind of a puzzle, it adds playability but some people just want it posed right out of the box, have to respect Yamaguchi, imagine a Spawn figure with this kind of cape? it would be fuckin amazing! also really nice '3rd party' cape, Wired capes should also be more common! but yeah the sculpt on this figure is insanely creative! but the best part for me is actually the cape looking so sharp and menacing, & the way it layers over itself is really fascinating, posable art at its finest!
Daredevil19 has some really nice custom capes, Robo would love to see you review on
Great review I have this figure on order and look forward to picking it up. I understand the cape issues , but think you have to accept the style of the figure line when you buy.
Oh, I accept the style, I said that. But I don't have to like every single aspect of it. That goes for most figures, all figures, really.
@@TheFwoosh I accept that. I was not really directing my comment at you( appreciate the reply though) , more at people who complain saying why did you buy it. Lol.
Oh, haha, sorry man. I'm so used to people explaining why I should like or not like something, I took yours the wrong way. Apologies!
@@TheFwoosh No problem. Like I said, I thought it was a great review.
Convenient how sharp the included cape, chunks of cape, (whatever they are) are, so when you’re frustrated enough and throw em, they’ll stick in the wall like throwing stars, you get a little satisfaction out of it lol
Heh, that or use them to stab your own eyes out.
The revoltech cape is so much work
Who knows some good 3rd party cape customizes? Im getting this figure soon and I really want to check out what options are out there for bendy wire capes. Thanks and awesome review Robo!
Hey man! Love your vids, absolutely fun to watch. Always feel like getting one Revoltech figure. How much do they come for at an average?
The original cape gives me anxiety you made the right choice
I really appreciate what Yamaguchi is trying to do with this line and I've been in the comments section eloquently "defending" Venom & Captain America Revos, which are the best releases imo. I even think Spider-Gwen is decent, Deadpool is fine and Magneto can look just like a comic in certain poses...but the thing about this line is that is VERY hit & miss. While I prefer DC over Marvel characters, I freaking hate this Batman...I think the segmentation looks a lot weirder than previous releases, the whole head is weird, the symbol is warped and don't get me started on that cape. However, the promo pics for Deathstroke (a character I don't care for at all) look freaking amazing so it gives me hope that MAYBE a good Flash, Superman or Green Lantern are not impossible. But I think this could've sell a LOT more if it was better executed.
It's weird that they almost completely changed the style here, and they keep tweaking articulation.
Hey Robo! Great review as always! I hope you get around to reviewing the Mafex JL Batman and the Tactical Suit Batman.
I actually skipped on any and all JL stuff, both MAFEX and SHF. Same with most Avengers. Just getting to be a little repetitive and honestly, there is just so much out there I can't keep up. But dang if those MAFEX figures don't look good though.
@@TheFwoosh Yeah I feel you man, and our wallets do too. There are just so many coming out of the woodwork. But really, if you get the chance at the tactical suit scoop it up. Probably the best 6 inch Batman figure out there.
Awesome video
Cool looking figure.
Would like to see one of these in real life.
It's a challenge for the customizers to come with cape that makes the original cape look dull :) Great review as always. I'll keep the current cape for now till I find a perfect replacement.
Also I could not get the batman in poses that were advertised. Somehow it was too difficult for me, the joints did not move as expected. May be that's just my figure.
Naw, a lot of companies fudge their promo pics a bit. The figure isn't actually completely together for a few shots but posed where you can't see it. I couldn't do the fully crouched pose either.
OMG, when you put on that cloth cape, it was like night and day. With the stock cape, he looked like his cape was completely torn up and made of rugs. Or as if he was trying to use a helicopter. But with that 3rd party cape, he just came to live. And good that he gets on so well with Gus.
Yeah, I'll admit to a little frustration with the figure with the original cape, but all of that goes away with the new cape, it's crazy.
I think this might be my first dive into revoltech... this figure looks amazing.
Niiiiiiceeeeee, cloth capes for the win. Are you gonna do a bit of fwoosh update on this figure robo? I would very much like to see an update on this figures modification. Cool review as always dude :)
If I end up doing anything I'll give a go at showing it. But really, putting the cloth cape on there was a big enough upgrade to make me feel like it doesn't need much more.
“snacks at this hour” lmaoo what?
Haha, yeah, exactly. I feel like I'm missing something.
@@TheFwoosh Late but I was rewatching this review and googled and found the source I think - #4 in screenrant.com/batman-butler-alfred-wtf-offensive-weird/
Love when you review this line, the cloth cape huge upgrade. Nice figure but that knee joint is a big problem.
Good you got a custom cape for this figure!! I got one and it made this figure 100% better. It went from me Never wanting to pose it because of the cape to one of my favorite Batman figures.!!......
Exactly, the original cape made the whole figure frustrating, new cape makes me want to pull it out and play over and over.
Robo I'm not even going to lie you could review an articulated turd and the part I'm still looking most forward to is the gust segment keep up the awesome work brother.
Don't tempt me! Wait, that sounds weird, haha.
There sure is some nice engineering that has gone into this figure!
that yamaguchi cape is amazing. very smart engineering on a figure.
holy crap that figure is intense! I'm not sure if I could make sense of the cape though...
"Attach him to the Greatest American Hero" haha I get and appreciate you Robo!
Haha, what's even better is that at the last two shows I've seen cosplay for The Greatest American Hero. It's crazhy.
Love the "Batman is super angry-sad" line lol
Thank God they're giving us that arkham knight batman with the wired cape
My favorite Amazing Yamaguchi figure is Deadpool but this figure looks amazing, obviously with the new cape. Good review.
how did you make the crouching pose in 16:38? i've been trying on my figure and can't seem to get it. :)
I didn't pop it apart to do any of that pose, like Kaiyodo sometimes does for the promo shots, haha. The back left foot is on it's toes and make sure the torso joints are all forward so it crouches as low as possible.
Your winning lottery number lmao 😂
Vlasic bread and butter pickles dem sure are tasty.
I like mushrooms and pickles. Not together though.
I knew that Kaiyodo cape was gonna be a hot mess.
Hope I can find a good custom cape for this. Great review👍🏼
I dont get why they didnt used some great features from previous figures. Floating belt like wolverine one, articulated knee pad, dual ball joint torso like carnage ones. Those are major things i hoped they use on that bats. I mean the new carnage torso was outstanding. Float belt would be so much better. Articulated knee pad could help a lot in posing.
Yeah, it's almost like they are trying to reinvent the wheel every time.
I sometimes imagine how awesome Venom could have been if he had this awesome carnage abs joint. I hope mafex Venom will bring ultimate justice to this character. I mean i do like tke kayo venom, but this ab joint is a misunderstanding.
Damn...best review award of this amazing Yamaguchi Batman figure goes to.....Robo...lol nice 1 dawg pound😎👊
Haha, thanks man.
The art on the inside is from Justice League new 52 issue 1 drawn by Jim Lee. He is my favorite artist. I would love to get this figure but it's a bit out of my price range
This figure is awesome. I wonder if revoltech see these type of review videos and think "huh maybe we should reconsider wired clothe capes for our next figures". Lol
Haha, probably not.
Great insights, got me convinced to buy BATMAN and GUS LOL👍
Cool cape.
I love this Revoltech Batman. Waiting for a reissue. And that soft-goods cape is extremely well made.
I think they did reissue him because i found him for sale on bigbadtoystore
Great review. Love the line, don’t care for the capes though. Cloth cape looks fantastic.
Yeah, that's exactly where I am. Love most of the figures, hate all the capes.
1. where can i get this figure
and
2. whoever made that cloth cape are they able to make one without wire (i have wire clips to clip onto capes for possibility because i love having drooping capes as well as stiff)
It’s a good thing you’re not sensitive about your love/hate relationship with this line, Robo, lol! 😜
I totally agree that the capes are a mess! The aesthetics of this line are usually a little too “jointy” for me, but damn, that Psylocke coming out looks good!👍🏻
How did you get the cape please tell me😫
That cloth cape is so much better, wish it came that way
At this point I’m so used to having figures with the standard of 5 points of articulation. All of the articulation on this figure (and most import figures) gets me so confused. I lost track a couple of times and I had to go back and watch that bit again. I’m still not used to seeing that much articulation.
Not to mention the amount of accessories too. I often buy figures that have one or two accessories, sometimes none at all. But in a weird way I actually prefer that because I don’t have to decide which accessories to use.
5 points? That's old school.
"well why did you buy the figure in the first place". That right there made my day.
I just like the way you do your reviews. Doesn't matter what figure you do. But I would like to ask who and where is Gus from. New to collect couple of years in, bit collected comics 47+ years. Thank you love your reviews.
Gus was mostly me making fun of the Range Trooper during a Weekly when it was announced, coming up with a backstory and just rambling about it. It stuck. He's kind of the mascot for the channel, a mix of a lot of people I grew up around and my own inner hillbilly.
where can I get that cloth cape?
The middle one and right one is drawn by Jim Lee. The one on the left is drawn by i think Mike Mignola
I think will love this line. However I will agree about the cape...how could I get a cloth cape like that for it? I have not bought a figure in this line yet but this Batman and the Deathstroke and the Psylocke look awesome to me.
I love batman with that cloth cape. I think any caped figure is improved by a cloth wired cape.
Do you think they should have went with the ball joints in the torso like carnage?
Naw. Maybe? I think this works pretty well.
A lot of reviewers do not like the cape and switch it for a cloth cape
Hahaha! I’m impressed you were able to work in a Greatest American Hero reference. That is some skill!
Haha, I saw that and thought "Oh, that's the logo!" Now I want a Ralph figure.
Yeah, that 3rd party wired-cloth cape is MUCH better. Thanks for sharing!
Oh man, made me love it so much more.

Where is the safest place to order Yamaguchi figures?
AY line is awesome for people that like to do some small mods to their figures. For people that want to keep their figure mint, no mods, no small changes - its not so great. For example - i hate those dual ball small joint shoulders, i buy spare revo joints just to switch them whenever i can. for example - Deadpool, Carnage and Spider-Man, you can change the dual shoulder joint for a bigger single ball joint [the medium size one, like the ones in Carnage knee/elbow] and you keep all the articulation plus you get way better esthetics when you pose your figs. Wolverine is the only one that cant get this exact mod due to the fact he have bulkier shoulders but i was still able to get better dual ball joints than the vanilla ones [i got some medium + small dual joints].
Those are small but fun mods to make and gives AY figs awesome new options to better pose them. so for all people that love to mod their figs a lil bit - this is the perfect line =)
Here is a small example of a Carnage mods i did :
facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1511386139005528&l=e974e1c4fd
I switched the shoulder joints for single ball medium size one and switched his feet joints for a slightly more flexible dual disk small black joints [since i dont have those in red, but black still fits in just fine on this one =)]
Your Batman was spot on
Hey rob any info on the cape? I'd pay the standard import $60-$80 just for that cape.
Not sure if he's making more but I got mine from bobofnmac on Instagram. Might check out Daredevil19 channel here on youtube too.
The original cape definitely looks like a pain in the ass, but I do dig the look of it. Might just take a little work to get poses to look right.
Wow!!! That new Cape made it 100 times better
