1:02 That pose is based on the artwork for BLS - Envoy of the Beginning 1:15 The front-facing pose on the left seems to be based on the pose BLS is in when he's first summoned in the manga, and the back is just a matching back pose. The next two are based on BLS - Legendary Swordsman and Evening Twilight Knight (a BLS support card) 1:22 I swear the pose on the right is based on something in the anime, but I can't exactly place it. It isn't the first time it was summoned against Mai at least. It also vaguely resembles BLS - Sacred Soldier, but doesn't match exactly.
Ooooo cool I stopped playing yugioh after magic ruler 😆 so I have no idea how often this monster reappears in releases. But seeing how nice this guy us heres hoping a buster blader release!
Wow was unaware this model kit existed may have to hunt down a copy since he is my second favorite Dual Monster ever with my number one being the Dark Magician
I live in Greece and this kit has 85 euros... which is equal to 125 Canadian dollars! That is outrageous, even for this model of one of the best yu-gi-oh card characters...
@@vancyhobbies I made there was no nubs. It's the top of his helmet that is supposed to put the red eyes in. I tried to connected, but the gap was still there. I even took it apart too. Should I sand it a little bit?
I love these kits! I am so tempted to pick them up. Just a shame they are so pricey for such basic kits... just cant decide if they are worth picking up over an MG kit. Thoughts?
It all depends on what MG you are comparing it to, some may more more extras and accessories than this kit making it more "worth it" if they are similar price. Though I did find this kit much easier to build compared to MG kits and I love the unique appearance. But would I personally choose this over the mg barbatos or astray red frame? No Lol
I'm still skeptical abt the silver/gold, might need to check out a shop display. The ankle joint seems to be the standard for Figure-rise Standard ankles & wrists nowadays. For some reason FRS Ultraman Blazar (a kit out a mth b4 it), doesn't have the improved silver, but has wrist articulation similar to the ankle joint here, but they are tiny and somewhat unpleasant to work with, but allows the kit to pull off very expressive poses
Rubber Duck squish! *Ahem!* By your the review, this is kit is 10/10 and I agree completely. Let's start by the obvious point: IT'S NOT THAT SICK YELLOW GOLD! HURRAY! While this gold is not metallic enough for my tastes, it's still a massive win that we can get this instead of THAT thing they called gold on the Alphamon and Imperialdramon kits. This kit seems to strike that perfect balance between poseability(is this even a word?) and playability. After I get my Metalgreymon, this guy is next on the list, hopefully I can get it before the year ends (shipping stuff to south america takes forever). That dark purple/dark blue is soooo damn pretty and shiny, it makes my eyes happy to see the light bounce off it. I really enjoyed this review and now I'm more certain than ever that I must get this kit (and the other 2 blue eyes). Now if only we could get a Red Eyes or a Blue Eyes Ultimate to mount the black luster soldier on... Thanks for the Video Van, awesome work.
Thanks for all the support! The improvement to the gold was a good start to this kit. Its definitely a good addition to your collection along with the 2 extra blue eyes 😆
Got mine yesterday and built it after work. Just like u mention in the vid, mine broke only in The head area by the helmet and one horn so now the helmet has a gap in it

Size matters! 😆

Hope they make a dark magician kit.
Can't wait for my order to come in because this looks amazing. Hope for Dark Magician next. Great review as always
Thanks for watching! Considering how well they did the dark color on this kit, I too want a dark magician.
I hope they do the mech cards like zeus & ancient gear cards
Those would be awesome!
Ow that we have 3 blue-eyes, and BLS, someone skill enough needs to make the Dragon Master.
Lol would be a big kit

Holy that price is ridiculous!!
They are going to make a Slifer and Ra model kit.
Yes and I cannot wait!!!
@@vancyhobbies I have a question. For his head peice is it supposed to be flushed in? Because mine is being stubborn and won't click in together.
Ya it's supposed to be flushed, make sure you don't have any nubs sticking out.

I just now realized that this creature's name is Luster as in "Illustrious", not "Lust" as in the sin of lust.
"Black Lust Soldier" 🤣🤣🤣

Are you going to review metal Greymon vaccine? Mines is coming next month.... Hopefully
Yup currently working the review atm.
Will you be doing the dark magician girl model kit in the future?
For now I will be sticking with the amplified yugioh line. However if I can get it for a good price than perhaps.

Ohh So those joints are now standard for humanoid kit 🤔 and check out the kit in person, the metallics look better.

The dragoon in FF4 one leg up pose.
So he really needs a good spear.
Extra weapons are always welcomed!
Hey! Can you put the link where can I buy it? I can’t find it anywhere.
Not sure where you are located but Hobbylinkjapan is a good place for shipping worldwide

Damn sorry to hear that. Have you tried using plastic glue to fix it?
@@vancyhobbies yeah and will for the horn but not helmet since only the horn is falling off
Looks perfect!
100%
Looks super cheap
Too bad bandai didn't give it the gold plate treatment
i think he might've gotten a bootleg honestly, while his is piss yellow mine is a shining gold
@@fortnitesexman i think its my lighting setup with the camera, its not doing it justice. ☹
