Thanks Again!!!
Every one of them look absolutely amazing. The horns with the chains on the triceratops are very show accurate. Did you notice the guns inside of the mouth of the Tyrannosaurus Rex?
i did!
9:36-9:45
I loved the MMPR series as a child... it hit America roughly when I was 6 or 7 and it captivated my generation. This is absolutely accurate and the articulation doesn’t really bother me because the Megazord didn’t have a wide range in the show anyways. However, this set looks like a small upgrade to the MMPR Legacy collection that has been released over the last 5 years or so. It’s about the same size too. There are two more to this set that Bandai may/may not touch but in order to complete as the MMPR fandom says their version of “G1” you would need the Dragonzord, and Titanus. But, as always good review dude!
well i hope they do for the fans
I’d say owning both this was a big upgrade for me personally (they don’t feel cheap all separated and the small details and mechanics for me are a chefs kiss ( the Amin thing I cared about with power rangers was always the zords)
as strange as the proportions are on some of them are, they are all like that in the show. This thing is surprisingly accurate
I'd say the non-transforming Super Robot Chogokin released several years ago is closer to the show's "guy in a suit" model. This SOC is a good compromise between the show look and the original DX toy.
Nice!
You had me going bro! I was like "is he gonna say it?" Lmao FFFFFFFFEEEEEEETTTTTTTT! Neat looking set
hahahahah
Bobby Skullface L Just for a point of reference I don't just watch your reviews to hear you say FEET! I enjoy hearing your insight on all these figures and toys
Love it! Great review! I want this set. I really wish Bandai could do a Transformers combiner like Devastator or Predaking. I feel that would the best TF combiner we'd ever see.
its quite nice
What do you get when you combine a Rhino with and Elephant? ...Elephino! Ha ha ha! I would have never thought I'd see you review something like this. Very cool and as usual, you've done a stellar job! Thanks for sharing!
hahah
Damn that looks awesome put together. I still have the original one from when I was in Kindergarten and the 20th anniversary one. Both of those are nothing compared to this.
yea its pretty cool i must admit
That is incredibly show accurate. I always hated the triceratank as I referred to it, and I hated the whole trying to be Voltron element. I liked the combining element, but, as a kid, it just screamed Voltron rip-off. Of course later in life I realized how much many shows had combining robots in Japan, so I was much more forgiving when I learned this. The original show started airing here in my latter high school years, and my younger brother loved it, so we watched it every day after school. Honestly, the theme song was pretty kick ass, but, everything else, meh. There was a lot of cheesiness to it, but there were some fun things about it. Hard as hell to try and watch these days though.
While the Soul of Chogokin line is pricey, the amount of detail, the love, the paint, the little more oomph, you totally get a quality product. I always like hearing your appreciation for a product that you would have no interest in yet recognize the level of care that was put into it. You can hear it in your voice. Great review, Uncle Skullface, and have a great weekend!
Josh Fisher whats even better is the fact super sentai predates voltron and was actually inspired by the mecha japanese spiderman got
totally with you
Fun fact: While the black "elephant" Zord is indeed referred to as a mastodon in the US's Power Rangers, it's called a mammoth in the original Japanese source material. In addition, the pterodactyl Zord is referred to more specifically as a pteranodon in Japan. Other name changes from US to Japanese include:
Zords = Guardian Beasts
Megazord = Daizyujin (Great Beast God)
Power Sword = Dinosaur Sword God Horn
Thanks as always for giving us a look at these awesome toys!
interesting
Great review Skull Brother!!! This piece looks dead on accurate to the show. I think those chains in the triceratops are in reference to one episode that one time type of thing which is really awesome attention to detail. When Power Rangers first debuted I thought it was a cheap Voltron knock off and I hated it. However going back and watching it as an adult I love it. Some may think it's horrible cheesy but the writing is very smart and entertaining. One word of caution. Don't make the mistake of seeing Bandai on a product and automatically thinking it's good. This is the Soul Of Chogokin sub line which is always good. Then you have Bandai Japan which is also excellent. But Bandai America especially when it comes to Power Rangers can be and often are terrible. There is a bigger disparage between Bandai Japan and America then there is between Takara and Hasbro. Enjoy and keep up the great work brother...
very cool, and will do
That's not entirely true... Bandai of America can do some pretty good stuff with the Legacy line, though it is perhaps still rather expensive for what you're getting. The American versions of the current season stuff though is laughable... or likely to leave you heaving over a toilet, depending on your view. (it's not good)
Man, these guys look classic. Makes me feel old, as I grew up with these Power Rangers back in the 90s.
makes me feel older because i was too old for them in the 90s lol
Great review as always. I hope you get the chance to review the upcoming flame toys megazord. It's crazy stylized and is painted beautifully. But being flame toys not sure how they will do on a combiner after victory saber.
Keep up the amazing work. Looking forward to your next video.
This is way better than the 93' American toy release.
This review was painful to watch as you learned the different dinozords as well as funny. A bit surprising you've never seen or heard of Zyuranger/Mighty Morphin Power Rangers but hey it's always good to hear an unbiased opinion. Nice video.
Finally, what I always wanted, zords that articulate AND combine!
wait no longer!
I pretty much agree with this review. It's a great set, though I wish there was more mobility with the knees and legs.
And it holds the sword so much better than the shield.
agreed
I have all the MMPR Zords & this one that you've just reviewed combines with two more , the Green Ranger's Dragonzord and the Stegosaurus that's battery operated and it becomes a moving battlestation with lights and sounds
interesting
Dope review as always, was kinda missing the hand transformation and the head reveal was a bit off camera. I typically try to recreate these bots and other transformers with Lego and was hoping to catch a couple of new techniques from this review, eh. Good stuff tho!
sorry about that man
It's funny how you can take a toy that I have zero interest in or zero connection to and still make it interesting. You sir, are very good at what you do. Also, it's not a mastedon or an elephant, it's snufflepagus from Sesame Street. Great review and keep it up.....
hahaha not an oliphant then?
While it could have more articulation, I find that it's articulated enough that you can recreate whatever pose was seen in the show and then some. Not saying that a toy should be limited to its live-action/animated counterpart in every way... I just think that for a clunky bot who isn't supposed to be side-kicking and back-flipping, this does the job.
that's fair
The Triceratops actually shoots the horns and uses them as grappling hooks in the show (both Zyuranger and MMPR). That the whole purpose of the chains on the horns.
i'll take your word for it
14:42 thats what it looks like when $400 falls over.
This is certainly much better(and more accurate) looking that the megazord from the 90s, and even the 2010 and more recent legacy megs. But the star of the show is the articulation. Some megazords of the past(through all the seasons) had leg articulation(but very few), and some had harm articulation beyond rotating shoulders(that's it... some had no articulation other than the arms rotating in the shoulders on a single axis). NONE had arm and leg articulation. nearly every one of them is basically stuck in a pose like an armor stand. A much more affordable option is the super minipla version(though it's still ~$50 for a 5" gundam) but it's a kit you have to assemble(and would be best painted).
nice
I got the megs and the dragon zord of the mini pla. tossed the dragon together(mostly, didn't pop the super tiny gold emblems off the sprue yet as I intend to paint). Both are currently sitting in my growing backlog waiting for a coat or two of paint on key areas. I don't like the meltalicized plastic for the gold and silver, it's too swirly.
If you're a kid in the 90's, you definitely know Power Ranger.
thats probably true
So they appear to be making a Soul of Chogokin Dragonzord? If it's fully compatible with this and forms both the Dragonzord Battle Mode and Mega Dragonzord... that'd be a pretty impressive set. And they could throw in the Ultrazord as well for kicks...
i heard, thats pretty awesome
These have more articulation than the older toys from the 90s. Plus the 90s megazord was like half an inch taller.
i can believe it
Ah nostalgia.
:)
you can say he's a easy combiner
agreed
I love soul of chogokin, have you got any others? My favorite is the gx70 mazinger. The only thing I would change about the line is the ankle tilt, they always need just a little more
i have the voltron and a couple others that were gifts
I love to see Bandai do a take on devastator but that’s wishful thinking
Dat articulated trunk...
hahahaha
Should there be a Soul of Chogokin for the Thunder Megazord as well?
probably
good video
Here's the like. But I always thought PRs was pretty weak.
me too
This team needed a Pachycephalosaurus. Amirite, mac?
heeeeeeeey now youre speaking my language
Soul of Chogokin line from Bandai FYI.
if you wanna see why this was a necessity check out my comparison between this and the Legacy Megazord. Cause.....its massive.......thats what she said.
will do
Didn't even know the tail had a flip out tab
;)
I did catch in this video looks like you never received the replacement part of GCreation IDW Prime..........damn shame.
nope, sure didnt
BLASPHEMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1.6k ????
22 hrs ago ????
its a god damn mega zoid !!!!
Bobby SkullFace is G !!!!!
lol
lol you just never know whats going to work
To bad you're not into the gundam franchise bandai can really hit home are those model kits
good for my wallet though lol
Is this the vintage?
That's Daizyujin to you.
ill take your word for it
I never understood Power Rangers. It was like a Voltron version of Land of the Lost. I felt bad for the next generation when this show hit because I know I would have been pissed if this was one of the main shows for my generation on Saturday morning/after school.
Solid set though.
yea it was never for me either
Bobby, i think your new intro is slightly off. it starts and stops at the first second. maybe im imagining?
i havent noticed... hmmm
Hey man,there's an off-shoot of Soul of Chogokin called Full Action and I think a Sit down Saturday or Teases the court is called for since its gonna need your attention because of the price point and how small the figures are since its demanding the same price as an ACTUAL SOC like this except it DOESN'T have the same features as an actual SOC but more of an SRC/Super Robot Chogokin.
Bandai of Japan is REALLY trying something with the buyers this time. Take a look at this video: th-cam.com/video/Za3r6_moP60/w-d-xo.html
Lol, dropped the figure like a CHUG🤣🤣🤣 in Bandai I trust
Bandai knows their way around a figure, for sure
I actually think this piece is overpriced for what it is. Don't get me wrong, it's a nice toy but it doesn't feel that it was priced in the same ballpark as voltron soc.
Luckily I purchased this for a lot less.
glad you got a deal
its got alot more articulation than the actor in the show had
hahahaha
this guy pretty much has the same issues as the voltron when it comes to articulation. I also wish it would have been 16" and not so small scale wise
i hear you, voltron actually works a bit better in the articulation dept
Good Friday to you. Power Rangers were NEVER in my wheelhouse may have had to do with age........I did like Ultra Man in the late 70's early 80's but still the format of PR never appealed. SOC is Premium I feel Bandai lost this translation with this release. If you were to compare Megazord to Voltron SOC well there is no comparison and I am not just talking aesthetics. SOC has Dancouga scheduled for an upcoming release! I would like to see Bandai land a Transformer license and hit up non Transformers via Soul of Chogokin.
the standard of quality is on par though i must say. in terms of build and such
Nice looks like a solid unit for the most part ......a little on the small side and or GCreations IDW PRIME is super tall..................damn got my finger on the buy button for IDW PRIME ....wondering if GCreation will do a 2.0 version
I'd love to have an articulated megazord but man 300$ is a bit much. And by "a bit" I of course mean about 200 or so dollars
i hear you but this one might be a get what you pay for situation
You have two other cheaper options from Bandai:
The Super Robot Chogokin version which is nicely painted and well articulated. The problem is the individual units doesn't combine/separate. It's smaller than the Soul of Chogokin version.
The other one is the Super Mini Pla. The set is basically a candy toy which you assemble. The articulation is also pretty good and the individual units combine/separate. It's largely unpainted so it needs a ton of work to look good. This one is the smallest of the bunch.
Illsteir I know about those two and yeah those are the reasons I don't go for them. That and it might just be me but the minipla has slightly off proportions
Bobby Skullface L fair enough
He called the zords the wrong name with the pterodactyl and Macedon
It's a nice looking megazord but for the price point don't know man..
M Shafiq it has massive amounts of diecast, paint apps, chrome, show accurate, and best of all has actual articulation and still transforms
its pricey but its certainly a get what you pay for kind of set
The original show was zyuranger it was part of super sentai and isn't something too special/popular in japan compared to america
Typically now-a-days super sentai is always better than the power ranger adapatation (if it even got adapted).
copy that
You read Japanese?
negative
I habe the megazord costume I wear or alot lol
hahaha
If i had a way of showing you dude I'll make you laugh. as the jump suit us spandex with the neoprene armour parts that are attached separate. it's epic but toit lile a tiger.
Not bad at all. I hated the tv show however with a passion so this holds no interest for me.
astartespete Ever tried watching RPM? Its a really good season
i couldnt get into it either
Thumbs down for calling the mastodon an elephant. Next time Skullface is going to call Optimus Prime “the red dude.” Actually I want you to do that.
Benbot he called it a mastodon in the video ?
i also called him an oliphant :)
Why you doing a review on stuff you know absolutely nothing about?
why not
Cause I’m old school voltron he is better
Fake ass Voltron..relax!...lol
hahahhhahaha
