Double hinged elbows, butterfly shoulder movement, double neck articulation, waist swivel, arm and leg swivel, double leg knee joint, articulated fingers, moving waist skirts..this set directly took the innovations Gunpla introduced and translated it to Lego. THIS should be the gold standard for future Lego mechs and constraction builds. They should also start introducing these articulation innovations in smaller scale. SCCBS is fine, but I want this level of movement at the palm of my hand, like how Gunpla do it. The price is fair, cause you are basically buying a large MG kit, with far more plastic.
The set is incredible from an articulation angle, and even stability. But this being the standard going forward for constraction and buildable figures is, imo, not a good move. Articulation to the degree that this has would be incredibly difficult in smaller sets, as this really only has it's level of movement *and* look because of it's size, since they can build out and around the joints. The smaller the set, the more compromises needed, whether in look or articulation. I feel it would make the play aspect weaker, which is a big point of SCCBS. Solid builds that can be mor easily played with without needed to finangle with all the articulation to get it steady and how you want it. An often cited point I've been seeing is that test groups of kids begin to struggle with a set the more articulation it has. I feel like constraction works best when it puts play first. Looking at my old Bionicle, G1 and G2, vs, say, the buildable Spider-man, and I think I prefer the more play heavy aspect over display. I can pose them if I want, but my kids can have fun with them too (and if I had more pieces, build their own and swap stuff around). I think for this set, the price point is fair, and again, plays into the "maybe not all mechs." Because the more they do for oher smaller mechs, they more they might increase the prices. If they do continue with big mechs like this for an older group. Part of the appeal, at least to me, of old Bionicle sets and these current smaller mechs (any of the $15-$20 ones) is that they're more affordable, making them easier to get into. A kid could oick them up, or a parent for a kid wihtout dropping a lot of money on a set, and they get a fun build that they can play with, swap bricks/tiles on for looks, etc. (Apparently Duckbricks pointed out that the designer said this was essentially a one-off, and not meant to be the standard of things).
The articulation for this mech is insane, I'm especially surprised by the inclusion of both thigh and bicep swivels. The only spot it seems to be lacking is with the forward ankle movement, but that's to be expected. It excels in every other area.
@user-zf7yf1ew1g the figure looks overdone its a bad mix of colours i still like it but theh should of stuck to co,es actual colours and i betthe suit wont even be in the show
That mech is P E A K. It's a must buy, and its a shame that the ninja combo vehicle is 90 dollars out here! Tell me with a straight face that these two sets should have a ten dollar difference.
Thank you for your rewiew, I am especially thankfull for the comparison of the Titan Mechs. I am entirely in envy of the size and detail of this. I know 100$ are a lot in the real world, but in the Lego world, this is INSANE for a 100$ set. 10/10.
It's kind of blocky and has a lot of studs showing, but on the other hand the articulation is insane. It's funny this coming after reports of Lego actually removing articulation from the Kai climber mech to "not confuse kids."
From what It sounds like, the climber mech is more play focused, while this is more focused toward older fans that may be more into posing and displaying over normal play.
The best Mech lego has ever released. I heard this is apparently only a one off set, hopefully the overwhelming feedback and desire for Builds like this will spark future sets like this
Dont really like the color choices on the figure, maybe black boots would have helped, still pretty cool tho. TRANS KATANAS i love katana colors lol cool mech
It is one of the weaker points. Most of the time it was fine for me, but I had it split there a couple of times while filming the reviews when I wasn't careful.
A thing we get all the time are sets with multiple minifigs. What we don't dont get all the time is a fire mech that tops every single Lego mech in history.

The mech is ok for LEGO-design, but still it is lacking the double jointed knees.
@@springmaus1632 no the set is perfect it has everything every mech would dream of know the one minifigure is annoying but its for the better
I'm so getting this set.
I might hate the figure but man that mech is a must have
Why hate the figure
@@vinhziger6968 white is attrocious on cole
@user-zf7yf1ew1g the figure looks overdone its a bad mix of colours i still like it but theh should of stuck to co,es actual colours and i betthe suit wont even be in the show
Yes, I agree 😀👍
I like the figure, but I get that it's divisive 😄
This is the first set I've ever pre-ordered. I need this yesterday!

That opening was perfect 😂
Thank you xD
Maybe one day when my bonsai are mature enough I'll pose this mech with them. Looking forward to get this in my country!
Would be really cool to see!
Take my money for this amazing set! Thank you for the detailed review!
This is just the coolest action figure ever
it is still lacking the double jointed knees.
you could have told me this was a moc and I would believe it
Love how this has the same wing design and weaponry as Lloyd’s titan mechs but it, but it looks so much better

10/10.
0:04 awesome intro
Knees, ankles, waist, and more? We live in the best timeline
Mechs sure have come a long way in 20 years. From #4508 Titan Mech Designer Series to this! Excellent review btw. 👍
The way you say up and down every time i want to finish "side to side like a roller coaster" 😂
GET IN THE EVANGELION COLE
ok this set is peak
I've been so torn wether to get this or the source dragon. As a big Cole fan and a BIG mech fan, I can say, this thing is MINE!
This mech is top 3 Lego mechs.
It's too bad the guy that designed this won't be designing mechs anymore. Such a shame.
I mean he said this mech would be his magnum opus AND he delivered
Hope his legacy will inspire future mech designers.
This was his final mech and it shows. I don't know what you can do to top such a design.
@@therealmrnoobr0blx Improve upon the mech head design, ab crunch, butterfly shoulders, skirt armor, feet bend, fully bendable fingers, Giant beam canon, vigorous effect parts, a posing stand...
It's kind of blocky and has a lot of studs showing, but on the other hand the articulation is insane.

This new Gundam is looking great- wait…
Dont really like the color choices on the figure, maybe black boots would have helped, still pretty cool tho. TRANS KATANAS i love katana colors lol
cool mech
Those katanas also came in a poly bag last year
@@RULERZREACHF4N6146 yeah I forgot but he mentioned in the video so I instead of saying im glad we have them now I just said I love katana colors lol
The mech is very good, but still it is lacking the double jointed knees.
Whoever Made this mech Litterally took notes from MishimaProductions 😂
Wait, is that a new recolor of the piston piece? I've only seen it in grey
It has been in black in three other sets before, but the silver version is a lot more common
@@keepthepiece it's mainly black I'm interested. But good to know I can get it for my bionicle moc thanks to bricklink
If only the smaller mechs had this much articulation :/
What that big green set in the back
Do you mean in the scenes where I'm on camera?
when lego designers watched gundam
it looks a lot like stuff you see in ibo,more brutal looking mechas
@@aggelosaggelos5696 The leg design is straight up from Gundam Barbatos.
@@Bionickpunk yeah,it even has the knee splitting gimmick that other gundams have
Is the robot waist sturdy?
It is one of the weaker points. Most of the time it was fine for me, but I had it split there a couple of times while filming the reviews when I wasn't careful.
Lego Mecha fans eating real good today.
I feel like some of the budget could have gone into more figs. The wings maybe could have been omitted and it just be called Cole's Titan Mech.
Nah, I appreciate that most of the budget went on the mecha model kit. This is how Gundams are done, you only get one pilot figure.
A thing we get all the time are sets with multiple minifigs. What we don't dont get all the time is a fire mech that tops every single Lego mech in history.
i,llllll makeeeeeeee
In my honest opinion this guy is garbage compared to bricks by mind
