Big Firebird EX-01 Plus Mocha Review | Kato's Kollection Reviews

[@RodimusPrimal]

Great review. I wouldn't say she's a shell former as she actually transforms to make certain parts of the car. Sure there's parts forming involved but man she looks fantastic.

[@KatosKollection]

Yeah, the end result is awesome

[@imoweenlodestone5447]

Dude I bought 2 of these because of the engineering and she's a posing beast

[@KatosKollection]

Awesome!!

[@im2hastyle]

Yeah, that's it, I'm opening mine today! Thanks for the video and push Kato 😆. I might be designing her and NICEE some more hands soon, which will include middle fingers and bullhorns. Love the figures! And love the channel!!

[@im2hastyle]

When I get my NAS drive working again, I will be able to access the extra head sculpts as well and will be designing some more heads as well for 3D printing.

[@KatosKollection]

Awesome! 🤘😁🤘

[@gtoney]

Great review 🌟🤓... Nice looking Figure. Both modes look Awsome..love the colors and accessories 😃

[@KatosKollection]

Soooo many accessories

[@gtoney]

@@KatosKollection 🤣

[@zimtak6418]

Thanks for making this review, this is so awesome! It's unfortunate that it sounds like they won't be trying for another Transformer/Arcee as I would absolutely love a Transformers Prime Arcee done like this.😍

[@KatosKollection]

Agreed. I'd love to see what they do with a motorcycle

[@cantinaoftransformers8661]

Awesome figure and review! 😃😃 Do you think she could fit with Cyclion?

[@KatosKollection]

Scale is way off, but whatever works for you

[@Lazrael32]

@@KatosKollection scale always works when you say they're on cybertron. lol

[@SardoNumspa82]

Awesome review this figure is really Impressive. Nice to see a original fembot

[@KatosKollection]

You're awesome

[@ArcNeoMasato]

Just got her today and, sadly got a messed up bunny ear, so I need to see if I can get it replaced somehow (Ordered her from BBTS, they can only do a full exchange, which is way WAY more hassle than I want to go through, so seeing if I can contact BFB themselves or something somehow), but this video was CRAZY helpful to figure out what all her accessories were for! Really enjoying her already.

[@KatosKollection]

Thanks! Sorry about the jacked up ear, though.

[@ArcNeoMasato]

@@KatosKollection It is what it is. With how great everything else on her is, I can live with my car not having the extra fins on the spoiler. lol She can still use them in robot mode even, just not the spoiler.

[@T7nowhere]

Why did I pass on this? I'm such a fool! Thanks for showing her off.

[@KatosKollection]

There's still time! 🤣

[@T7nowhere]

@@KatosKollection This is true, but I can't find her locally in-stock so I think If I do find her in person then I'll pick her up. Leaving to fate for this one.

[@Lazrael32]

Mocha's shoulders are different too. I got Nicee because I thought it was funny that someone did that "arcee" (I didn't think you had nicee for some reason), But I got Mocha because I thought she was a superior design and repaint. She just looks great, and even though it's roughly the same mold, she doesn't feel as sexualized. My biggest complaint about her is that since she is third party, I will never see her in Transformers. Same complaints I had for Eris and Cyclion. such amazing designs with some interesting personality to them. Thanks for the review.

[@KatosKollection]

Thanks, Mark 🤘😁🤘

[@RazyelKayneReviews]

I don't mind her as much as I minded Arcee. This isn't a sexualized version of Arcee, Mocha is her own bot, and I do prefer the paint and sculpt on this one, she looks fantastic, transformation and an mold are great. To me she's a way better figure than Nicee. The alt-mode is awesome. Overall I'm impressed. Great review Kato, great work!

[@KatosKollection]

Thanks, Razyel. 🤘😁🤘

[@Lazrael32]

@razyelKayneReviews Nicee was made to be a sexy "Arcee", though they backed out of it at the last moment. Mocha was designed to be a new and interesting character. And I think that's one of the big reasons why so many people like Mooka better despite using roughly the same mold.

[@DiggitySlice]

I kinda wish I would have held off on Nicee a little bit longer than I did, because I would have skipped for this had I known it existed.

[@KatosKollection]

Same here. This is a much better bot

[@iamtheomnimonkey]

These 2 should form their own faction. The Boobicons.

[@KatosKollection]

🤣🤣🤣

[@iBeamer]

Don't really need the "sexy" bot, but the alt mode is totally worth it!

[@drewchase6577]

Reminds me of Crasher from Go-bots

[@KatosKollection]

Same

[@alekesam]

I had no idea these were CHUG-ish sized. I would've bought Mocha ages ago. I downsized my collection a couple of years ago so I'm not really buying many MP-sized bots these days, which is what I though Nicee/Mocha were.

[@XMattingly]

I agree, the vehicle design is super sweet but I’ll have to take your word for it about the higher quality than Nicee. Mocha is awesome, but for a higher going rate of what - $30, $50? I think I’ll skip this one. Between both, I will say that the engineering/articulation in the thighs and ankles is next-level _incredible._ No other fembot transformer in the market anything like these two.

[@KatosKollection]

Agreed 🤘😁🤘

[@Soundwave_VL]

Where do you see it listed for those prices?? I’d like to know because all I see is $150 - $200

[@XMattingly]

@@Soundwave_VL “Higher rate of 30-50”, above what the original Nicee went for. This one is tempting, but yeah I don’t want to pay $150 for essentially a repaint of the one I own.

[@Soundwave_VL]

@@XMattingly oh gotcha. Yea that price is pretty preposterous.

[@squallreviews788]

is it just me or does alt mode give off some Go-Bots Psycho "Future Car" vibes??? I missed out on the original Nicee figure, but got this one pre-ordered.

[@KatosKollection]

I thought the same thing

[@Lazrael32]

I missed the Psycho bit till you said it. Someone is doing a Knock off Nicee with an actual Arcee head. I think it's called CDL-01 RC. just in case you wanted to pick it up.

[@AsheBailey]

Maybe a shade of brown that makes " mocha" more of a relevant name?

[@KatosKollection]

🤔

[@JROD082384]

The figure looks cool, but besides it being a third party figure, which I don’t bother with personally, I’m not a fan of hypersexualized transformers in general. I’m happy you like it, though!

[@KatosKollection]

Technically this is an original design and original character so it's really a first party figure. As is Nicee. The only thing it shared with Arcee was the color scheme. As for the "over sexualized" thing, I get that. Thanks, Jrod 🤘😁🤘

[@snowcat5755]

U mention batgirl and then CDL-03 CAT showsup :)

[@KatosKollection]

🤣🤣🤣

[@irregulargamenight3866]

I do wish you could do a how to transform video, maybe I'm thick, but the instructions are of little to no help to me, and I just can't work it out.

[@AloneInWonder2683]

LMAO she's totally naked! like with transformers i had noticed that they appear in armor even over the parts where *Human* junk would be.... but her creators down right gave her a Labia XD . just bought her. she'll fit in nicely with my Mb17 and mb15... armada series by fans Lobby....... the anime version was my jam growing up.

[@KatosKollection]

I mean.....not TOTALLY 🤣

[@AloneInWonder2683]

@@KatosKollection :0 she's lower half naked.... They totally gave her a drive port 🤭🤫.

[@XMattingly]

Hey man - I saw someone else’s Mocha review, who claimed it’s “mostly die cast metal”. Is that true?

[@KatosKollection]

There's a good bit. I don't know if it's "mostly" but I suppose it could be

[@XMattingly]

@@KatosKollection Appreciate the reply! Maybe I should have framed it as, “more than Nicee”. That one pretty much only has metal on its joints. And you did say that the engineering is drastically improved over the original; more die cast could be part of that. 😎👍

[@KatosKollection]

I think I do remember feeling lime this one had more than Nicee. But I know it definitely felt more solid.

[@XMattingly]

@@KatosKollection Appreciate the feedback! I’m trying to not convince myself to go ahead and pick this one up. 😎
