The fact that this thing costs around $150 (for pre-order) is mind blowing. If this was Bandai or Sentinel they can charge this up to no less than $500.
Also the brand power, arguably Bandai might be the biggest brand for japanese style figures, And don't forgot about the serialization, some people love their toy if it has good story behind it.
Nothing would be more metal ok, its impossible as we wont be satiated, Just like the demons we shall march on forward searching for a worthy "enemy" until we find the one (If you dont know what im saying i meant enemy as in a worthy company that could make a proper one)
Okay, I have to admit, the Magnet Idea for the feet and it’s platforms is ingenious! This may be one of the most creatively designed Mech figures I’ve seen! And it’s absolutely badass to boot!!!
diecast figures' joints loosen up very quickly, so adding magnets under the feet with a metal base is a nice touch, Bandai should learn from this new manufacturer.
@@thomaskok5773 They're not new, they've been around for years. Also, they use POM parts in addition to the diecast frame to ensure long term tight joints.
@@SoulstrikerV They go by several names. MOSHOW / POISON TOY / Vientiane Toys / WARRIOR MODEL. They have made 1/72 metal frame figure for Strike Gundam, Buster Gundam, Qan[T] full saber, Destiny Gundam, Kampfer, Gerbera Tetra and this latest Takeda Shingen.
Just received mine today and I must say, THIS BLOWS BANDAI'S METAL BUILD OUT OF THE WATER~ No Tamashii Quality nub marks or any screw ups, no misalignment in the torso, this is the quality a diecast figure should have~ The MCT J01 looks like Uesugi Kenshin btw
Some points about the accessories: the hair is in reference to the real shingen helm which has long white hair. The are references his battle fab he used to block kenshin's sword strike (saw some folks mentioning this as well) and this next point is about the chest: the tiger motif is in reference to his real life nick name, the tiger of kai.
I saw this on HLJ preorders and bought it moments later without even checking any information on it; I could tell it looked absolutely incredible; it so nice to see that I was right! Just waiting on release and delivery with it's own shelf ready and waiting.
As soon as the video ended I purchased metal plats and 2x1mm and 4x2mm Neodymium magnets online. Time to drill holes on my MG kits' feet, palms and weapons.
This why I don't like the Red Frame with a katana, it's just a giant robot with a Japanese sword. This one, on the other hand, is a full-blown samurai, not a half measure whatsoever.
Well... The red frame was in the cosmic era where mobile suit like freedom and providence annihilate everything with their laser beam. So yeah, aside from samurai weapon, looking like a samurai and risk to weight more than 90 tonnes is not a good option 😐
I normally don't like metal builds as you don't get the joy of the "build" part, but if they make a Masamune Date to go with this I will absolutely buy them both!
The front skirt spring was designed to make sure u get the max bending length. If u bend it towards front u will notice the spring will respond to the bending mechanic. Also u forgot there is a moving mechanism behind the foot..n yes this is only the 1 of the whole series. The company have illustrated multiple mech design. So we might see another figurine like this
With the color and the 02 it looks like a bad-ass Samurai version of Evangelion. In the face it really stands out to me. It is beautiful no matter what angle you view it from.
They might turn it into an entirely new grade with this quality. Beyond Perfect Grade. Or Exceed Grade. Well, the Metal Builds at least should challenge this quality.
Bandai stepped up the prices at least. Ordered the Astray Red Dragonics at 400+ on P Bandai. It's going for $580 from other vendors. I'm thinking about selling it on the after market for 700+ so I can pick up 3-4 of these Moshow bots that are much cheaper and bigger and higher quality.
You know what's the best part about this figure: that they turned Shingen's infamous Fan into a Mothafukin' Axe! Now *that's* creative! 😁 Edit: Also: I'm pretty sure that Naginata is more of a Nagamaki, but still, it's awesome! 👍
My two favorite color combinations is red on black and gold on red. One thing I do like about China’s aesthetic is the whole gold on red color combination.
That black mystery box is Dragon Momokos Strike Freedom. It has a metal frame and a metric fuck-ton of effect parts. I haven’t built mine yet but it comes with the Wings of Light!
The best part about being a toys reviewer is that you can either get money from your video or you get a product for free. It's a guaranteed win. You just need to have a good camera and talking skills.
If you are familiar with the Senguko period, Takeda clan is one of the most powerful Samurai clans. Total War Shogun 2 is the best way to learn about Japanese military history.
Yes he is definitely sponsored I have spent thousands of dollars at hobby link Japan and I've never gotten anything for free LOL although this question isn't for me I try to keep my shipping under $100 and it's usually done by weight
@@jamescaulfield6632 ok first of all : wow. Second: I know he is sponsored but in hlj theres a virtual warehouse. What I want to know is like how many items has he got in his warehouse. My personal maximum was ten a time but I just can't imagine the sheer amount of kits and other stuff he orders from hlj . Even from buyee
Just got one from ebay $215 + $30 shipping +Tax comes out to $265. A little expensive but all the reviews I’ve seen is saying A+++ for this figure so why not LoL! adding it to my Chogokin Tamashii nation and metal build collections. Can’t wait to display it! Thanks for the vid!
Fantastic toy that's like the big brother of the Shin Musha Gundam. My one gripe is the hands: they clip in to the wrist and I'm worried the clip might snap if you swap the hands too much. I would have preferred individually articulated fingers on a single set of hands. Other than that - buy it!
Well done !!! Great review and great model !!! I own all or most of the 1/72 scale Moshows, they are masterpieces. Bandai should learn something ... Walter from Rome
Thanks very much for sharing this, I just have a question: my figure came with a broken horn so the supplier sent me a replacement which contains the upper portion of the helmet with the horn. Any tips on how I could remove the original top part of the helmet to attach the replacement? Thanks.
Did you pass on Poison Toys 1/72 GAT-X103 Hurricane and GAT-X105 (Not-Buster and Not-Aile Strike)? They were made by moshow under the name, Poison Toys. Beautiful figures with excellent color separation, heavy in hand, perfect paint apps, awesome weapons, led features, and steady figure stands. Best part for me was and is unlike my Bandai Metal Build figs which lose joint tightness over time, these Moshow figures still have tight joints, and I've had them for years.
Are there any ORIGINAL mecha manga and light novels (not related to or based on anime franchises like Gundam, Mazinger, or Evangelion) that I should read? Also, how big is the mecha genre in the manga and novel industry compared to Japanese animation?
This robot looks amazing. I like how he makes amazing high quality reviews even for the non gundam suits. I would love to add this robot to my collection as I love the design, articulation, and asthetics of it. Unfortunately my goal is to save up and find a perfect grade unleased and other gunpla first.
Hello. Ive just bought this figure from Japan Ebay. I noticed the logo on the box is “Moshow x GoodSmileCompany” and the artwork on the box is different from yours. I wonder is there any different with 2 versions? Thanks!
That's soooo sick!! Sick review mate and honestly all throughout I was expecting your "But WAIT, there's MORE" at any second lol! Edit: keep some tools at hand like a round file for the DM deathscythe - mine was fitting hell literally :/
Just received mine last week and started playing with it. Love the build and articulation. However, as a noob here...can someone help me to show how to equip the katana to the holding hands? Do you just slide in or is there any part to take off ? I seem could not find a way of how to put the katana in the holding hand. * cry.
0:40 Daban Strike Freedom has the picture of Strike Freedom on the box. Judging by the size of the box, I'm guessing it's Daban MB style Qan(T), or something like that. I have Daban's Strike Freedom, ARF and Qan(T) and Qan(T) is the only one that comes in a box that size. SF and ARF both comes in huge boxes. Also, if you plan to do more 3rd party kits in the future, try the Nilson Work 1/60 Astray Red Frame, Dragon Momoko 1/100 Testament and Astray Out Frame.
This might be a weird suggestion but I think it would be cool if they put an opening mouth with a magnet and a wakizashi with a magnet so you can pull off Zoro’s Three Sword Style.
The fact that this thing costs around $150 (for pre-order) is mind blowing. If this was Bandai or Sentinel they can charge this up to no less than $500.
The PRC still has a lower cost base than Japan, and has a lot of existing infrastructure for precision manufacturing.
Also the brand power, arguably Bandai might be the biggest brand for japanese style figures,
And don't forgot about the serialization, some people love their toy if it has good story behind it.
The weapons just scream "But wait there's more.".
“And if thats not enough”
these are people id love to see do a mecha doom slayer cuz i feel their style would make something both awesome and brutal
Probably a MECHA DOOM SLAYER
Nothing would be more metal ok, its impossible as we wont be satiated, Just like the demons we shall march on forward searching for a worthy "enemy" until we find the one
(If you dont know what im saying i meant enemy as in a worthy company that could make a proper one)
same
Bro. I'm no businessman or CEO of anything figure-related... But u got my attention
Yess Finally A Same Idea
Okay, I have to admit, the Magnet Idea for the feet and it’s platforms is ingenious! This may be one of the most creatively designed Mech figures I’ve seen! And it’s absolutely badass to boot!!!
I use that method on my gunpla kits cuz I just put them on normal standing pose for display.
diecast figures' joints loosen up very quickly, so adding magnets under the feet with a metal base is a nice touch, Bandai should learn from this new manufacturer.
@@thomaskok5773 They're not new, they've been around for years. Also, they use POM parts in addition to the diecast frame to ensure long term tight joints.
Is Moshow Toys the name of the manufacturer?

The MCT J01 looks like Uesugi Kenshin btw
Ouuu. I'm thinking of ordering the Cangdao Tibetan Tiger today. Where are you located and how long did it take for you?
I was basically the Vince McMahon meme every time MG swapped the weapons. I'm def sold on this kit!
Some points about the accessories: the hair is in reference to the real shingen helm which has long white hair. The are references his battle fab he used to block kenshin's sword strike (saw some folks mentioning this as well) and this next point is about the chest: the tiger motif is in reference to his real life nick name, the tiger of kai.
Mecha already mentioned that at the start of the vid
I saw this on HLJ preorders and bought it moments later without even checking any information on it; I could tell it looked absolutely incredible; it so nice to see that I was right! Just waiting on release and delivery with it's own shelf ready and waiting.
Bandai needs to learn a lot from this kit, like a lot a lot. Very impressed with this kit. It's perfect.
This is an action figure, not a model kit, you numbnut
its like MG babartos , RG Nu gundam and HIRM Burning gundam being DLCs that you can add to a model
Well i guess you're right about that one
Its not a kit, its a toy!
Best Gundam Model kit: $250
Moshow Toys Takeda Shingen doesn't need to paint, no stickers, no building and is maid of die-cast metal.
Not 250bucks…it’s about $105usd…I preordered 2 of it…
As soon as the video ended I purchased metal plats and 2x1mm and 4x2mm Neodymium magnets online. Time to drill holes on my MG kits' feet, palms and weapons.
This why I don't like the Red Frame with a katana, it's just a giant robot with a Japanese sword. This one, on the other hand, is a full-blown samurai, not a half measure whatsoever.
theres musha gundam
Well... The red frame was in the cosmic era where mobile suit like freedom and providence annihilate everything with their laser beam. So yeah, aside from samurai weapon, looking like a samurai and risk to weight more than 90 tonnes is not a good option 😐
The sengoku astray exists
I normally don't like metal builds as you don't get the joy of the "build" part, but if they make a Masamune Date to go with this I will absolutely buy them both!
This is a great representation of what mech came to mind the first time I heard "Mecha Gaikotsu"
That was one confirmed big boi!
The front skirt spring was designed to make sure u get the max bending length. If u bend it towards front u will notice the spring will respond to the bending mechanic. Also u forgot there is a moving mechanism behind the foot..n yes this is only the 1 of the whole series. The company have illustrated multiple mech design. So we might see another figurine like this
Could you link the illustrations, I can't find them online
Just ordered the MG Exia, Dynames, and Kyrios. Can't wait for them to arrive.
Looks like a Jaeger from Pacific Rim. So badass!
Nice figure BUT i personally think it would be INCREDIBLY AWESOME if we got a Ninja Figure like this. !!!!
With the color and the 02 it looks like a bad-ass Samurai version of Evangelion. In the face it really stands out to me. It is beautiful no matter what angle you view it from.
That looks cool
I was just about to say that, it looks cool
This is like Musha Gundam on steroids. It looks perfect!
O.M.G that foot articulation should be staple to all mecha kits! WTF Bandai?!
They might turn it into an entirely new grade with this quality. Beyond Perfect Grade. Or Exceed Grade.
Well, the Metal Builds at least should challenge this quality.
Didn't expect this one to be this good. Absolute masterpiece 👍
What a giant mecha samurai badass! Defeats the Hi res model like nothing!!! Truly god of the toy wars!!!!!!!!
Welp, seems there's a new gold standard for metal build figures now. Bandai really needs to step it up.
Bandai stepped up the prices at least. Ordered the Astray Red Dragonics at 400+ on P Bandai. It's going for $580 from other vendors. I'm thinking about selling it on the after market for 700+ so I can pick up 3-4 of these Moshow bots that are much cheaper and bigger and higher quality.
THE 1ST FIGURE TO GIVE ME GOOSE BUMPS!!! GREAT REVIEW! VERY FUN TO WATCH AND LISTEN TO! "11/10"- EXACTLY!!!!
I'd just got mine.. This is better than Bandai Metal build. It's perfect.
This one is breathtaking! Looks awesome & solid. Just... WOW!
You know what's the best part about this figure: that they turned Shingen's infamous Fan into a Mothafukin' Axe! Now *that's* creative! 😁
Edit: Also: I'm pretty sure that Naginata is more of a Nagamaki, but still, it's awesome! 👍
*Sengoku Basara has entered the Chat
*Samurai Dynasty has entered the chat
Hearing Dragon Momoko be mentioned again brings tears to my eyes 😢
Someone definitely sold their soul to make this mecha
Nah. Just a fraction of what chinese black magic can do.
Well, the Chinese long since sold their souls to the devil so...
China actually has a lot of amazing mecha artists.
@@mechalinkergaming7169 i can second that. You should have seen their unbelievable Bayformers' movie accurate, *Actually Transforming* Toys.
your review is by far the best for this bad boi. love it.
Man, looks like an actual suit that mr bushido would use as char clone.
Hah, that's what I was thinking! It'd certainly give Setsuna a run for his money! 😁
My two favorite color combinations is red on black and gold on red. One thing I do like about China’s aesthetic is the whole gold on red color combination.

I saw pictures but I had no idea I wanted it until now
this and the barbatouros are at the top of my wish list
at 16:26 the long axe is a halberd.
I saw some incredible figure. The Mnq 01 . It looks amazing
Just googled it! It looks like Destiny Gundam combined with a dragon! Awesome!
the metal samurai looks like it was conceived between Mercurius and Sengoku Astray Gundam
7:55 Mecha harassing that poor figure lololo
This thing is nuts, definitely gonna have to snag one. Gundam Central is bomb for finding stuff like this
Cool, it's like if Gurren Lagaan and Gundam had a gorgeous baby together.

Total War Shogun 2 is the best way to learn about Japanese military history.
The Tiger of Kai looks pretty badass as a mecha.
The magnet on feet and base is a great idea will add that to a future custom 1/100 Gundam build!
Might start putting magnets in the feet of the gunpla, and metal in my stands. It's a smart idea
Hey mecha Quick question : when you order from hlj approximately how many kits do you order?
*Yes*
I think he's sponsored. He probably doesn't buy them, they send the kits for reviews.

I've gotten cheap stuff from HLJ, but then again, I knew some of the staff and visited their old warehouse/HQ once.
I really appreciate that mecha starts to review 3rd party item
Jeezus.. those details are crisp and tasty.
I never knew i needed this in my life
You rated this 11/10? Damn i rated it ♾/10
Wasnt expecting a review from Goth Mecha Gaikotsu
Bandai should be really watching out for this
@1:40 Did those poles wrapped in rubber bands come in a "Mystery Box"? And if so what extra item did you get?
Char would absolutely love this... And more importantly its RED!!!
Char preferred long-rang to close-range.
Jesus…
Mecha Gaikotsu is about to reach 300k
That is a fancy looking thing.... *drool*

Looks just like the samurai
Now i wanna read that manga itself
When an Astray cosplays as a Musha Gundam.
This figure looks so awesome.
Yes magnetic feet!! I love it when that comes standard
Dude and I thought the spinatio was a cool samurai figure!
Heck, the Sengoku Astray looked far cooler than Spinatio.
@@mechalinkergaming7169 yeah. That’s why I’m glad I have both!
Wow it’s soo beautiful
Atlast the waiting is over 🔥🔥💯👌
Looks like testament Gundam ina sangoku genre
And some SERIOUS STEROIDS
Is the katana made from metal/alloy or plastic?
Well done !!! Great review and great model !!! I own all or most of the 1/72 scale Moshows, they are masterpieces. Bandai should learn something ...
Walter from Rome
This thing is kinda remind me of Shin Musha Gundam
it actually reminds me of Sengoku Astray gundam from Build Fighter , check it out

got a durex ad on this video and i think that's just perfect for this figure lmao

I don't see the product on the store other than on a coming soon banner.

Do you just slide in or is there any part to take off ? I seem could not find a way of how to put the katana in the holding hand. * cry.
Does anyone know the title of the chinese manga that was included with it?
So that rlly big katana is actually called an Odachi or Nodachi which mean great big sword or great field sword and it is a two handed weapon
How do you get it to double wield the katanas?

@@Aserbic As far as I know. Dragon Momoko's version also has a picture on the box.
@@raibyo that's also what I said to him. But the one with the picture is the plastic model one. The Metal build has no box art.
In Kurosawa's "Kagemusha" Shingen Takeda was portrayed by an old, short and bald actor, so it is a big surprise to see how imposing is this mech.
It's back in stock at GMC.
sweet lawd, these diecast models are getting crazy
Aaaanyway, Zero Gravity is releasing a new diecast kit, 'NeZha - Blood Blade'
this design is just like mashing up Shin Musha, Astray Red, Sazabi/Sinanju into one mecha
This might be a weird suggestion but I think it would be cool if they put an opening mouth with a magnet and a wakizashi with a magnet so you can pull off Zoro’s Three Sword Style.
I hopw we get an Uesugi Kenshin version of this guy!
Uesugi Kenshin is the rival of Takeda Shingen
