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.
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 😐
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 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!
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
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.
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.
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! 👍
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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 sheer quality and price to performance on this thing puts Bandai, Sentinel and all other action figure company to shame. Not to mention the official price of 680 RMB is a goddamn steal. You get much more than a MB at less than half its price.
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.
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.
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.
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.
You should check out the Motor Nuclear MN-0q1 Yellow dragon and MN-0q4 Black dragon. They are the best mecha i have ever owned. one of which has a massive meter wingspan.
@@chrisw5083 I prefer the ones with wings. Makes the figure look much bigger and gives you more for your money. Black definitely has the most going for it being the newest, most posable and largest as far as mass with the most accessories. I own black and yellow. Still want white as well
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.
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 PG sized!? Dayum! Also a pack-in manga with busty waifus piloting mecha? Yes please! I kinda wanna see this repainted as Decepticon Bludgeon.
HLJ has two of these up for pre order, one due to release this month and the other sometime in June next year. But after looking at both I can’t understand why there’s two different listings for the same product, the only thing I could find was the small difference in price ( by literally a few dollars/pounds )
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!
![ผัวเถื่อน - ยูริ โตเกียวมิวสิค [ OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO ]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/P08ORRVDGl8/mqdefault.jpg)
The weapons just scream "But wait there's more.".
“And if thats not enough”
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.
I was basically the Vince McMahon meme every time MG swapped the weapons. I'm def sold on this kit!
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?

Ouuu. I'm thinking of ordering the Cangdao Tibetan Tiger today. Where are you located and how long did it take for you?
This is a great representation of what mech came to mind the first time I heard "Mecha Gaikotsu"
**Takeda Shingen Starts To Appear**
RX-78-2: Why do I hear Boss Music?
Also the Samurai Gundams
@@TheUltimizer. The Musha Gundam don't really scream "boss fight" like this figure does though.
THE 1ST FIGURE TO GIVE ME GOOSE BUMPS!!! GREAT REVIEW! VERY FUN TO WATCH AND LISTEN TO! "11/10"- EXACTLY!!!!
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…
Nice figure BUT i personally think it would be INCREDIBLY AWESOME if we got a Ninja Figure like this. !!!!
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.

What a giant mecha samurai badass! Defeats the Hi res model like nothing!!! Truly god of the toy wars!!!!!!!!
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!
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
Didn't expect this one to be this good. Absolute masterpiece 👍

12:57 i think im in love with it...mommyyy im gonna stole your money
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.
... mechagaikotsu just got poisoned. XD
That was one confirmed big boi!
got a durex ad on this video and i think that's just perfect for this figure lmao
This thing is nuts, definitely gonna have to snag one. Gundam Central is bomb for finding stuff like this
This thing is kinda remind me of Shin Musha Gundam
it actually reminds me of Sengoku Astray gundam from Build Fighter , check it out
That looks cool
I was just about to say that, it looks cool
The magnet on feet and base is a great idea will add that to a future custom 1/100 Gundam build!
Bandai should be really watching out for this
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!
The head reminds me of odagaron helm in mhw iceborne
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.
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
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.
This is very good toys with cheap price, nice quality
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?
i just know that one chinese manhua, called the legend of star general based on the motor nuclear series
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.
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

I've gotten cheap stuff from HLJ, but then again, I knew some of the staff and visited their old warehouse/HQ once.
Wow this is exactly full metal panicking
Just ordered the MG Exia, Dynames, and Kyrios. Can't wait for them to arrive.
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!
This figure looks like the reincar just red and more weapons
You should get Cang Dao Model Azure Dragon, that figure should par the quality of this.
Holy CRAP!
The sheer quality and price to performance on this thing puts Bandai, Sentinel and all other action figure company to shame.
Not to mention the official price of 680 RMB is a goddamn steal. You get much more than a MB at less than half its price.
when Dante has a Mecha-ARMOR.
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! 😁
This ohsem I Like samurai
Looks like a Jaeger from Pacific Rim. So badass!
the metal samurai looks like it was conceived between Mercurius and Sengoku Astray Gundam
please reView HG Sinanju Mecha
I just need a job. Then I'll buy this shieeeet. Looks so freaking good
I wanna shake the builders hand
Looks like testament Gundam ina sangoku genre
And some SERIOUS STEROIDS

When an Astray cosplays as a Musha Gundam.

If I had a single complaint it would be that you can't remove the bottoms of the polearms
for Takeda Shingen, the axe wasn't big enough.
My god this is amazing!!
Beautiful figure.
Do a Eureka 7 Mecha review 😁😁
review the supernova wing zero plz
I missed the preorder but if I can get one I will!

Talking about metal gunpla please review
METAL ROBOT DAMASHII (SIDE MS) WING GUNDAM ZERO
This is like Musha Gundam on steroids. It looks perfect!
The only thing better than bandia
will you review another gundam-like mecha from china, like motor nuclear and changdao?
ordered 2
I saw some incredible figure. The Mnq 01 . It looks amazing
Just googled it! It looks like Destiny Gundam combined with a dragon! Awesome!
mine is currently en route to US from Japan.Excited for my first Moshow line.
Cool, it's like if Gurren Lagaan and Gundam had a gorgeous baby together.
The thumbnail should be shingen vs astray hi res
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!
* starts playing the opening theme song for Samurai Sentai Shinkenger *
Does gundam central ship worldwide??
Yes, they do. Just go to the site and check the shipping options on each item. They don't ship to South America or Africa though at this time.
I think there should have been a set of fully articulated hands, for this price/calibre of figure.
Show you building it.
This feels like a more samurified gurren lagann
I thought you don't like third party kits?
