Cang Toys STEGSAROW (Snarl): EmGo's Transformers Reviews N' Stuff

[@TheKrenk999]

I saw the thumbnail for this, and I thought "This will either end in Emgo needing bandaids all over his fingers for the cut and punctures, or there's going to be a pile of very expensive toy by the end of this.", and am happy to have been proven wrong on both counts.

[@nguyenhoangphuc4050]

the red envelopes are for lucky money, mostly for the lunar new year when adults put money into these envelopes and gift them out to the young ones after they have wished their elders in turn

[@aozf05]

What I was told growing up was you only get them when you're unmarried. So usually the adults will give them out because they're married and the children aren't.

[@dragonbotx372]

I always love the precious moments I love seeing how far transformers as come since G1

[@MichaelJones-rz5sw]

36:47 omg, that is just the lower leg? The combined mode will be HUGE.

[@0predaking0]

Same as the (Preda) ThunderKing

[@jezmerritt]

It should be the same as their Predaking; In mainline Hasbro terms, he rocks in at about the same height as their titan-class Scorponok, and weighs significantly more. If this version of Volcanicus matches, it's going to be a beast!

[@jackjackson7537]

I just want to extend a huge thank-you to you, Emgo. I have used your videos not just for this one, but the entire Cang Toys predacon line, and your instructions are great. First off: You are absolutely right... this was a bit of a bummer to transform the first go around lmao. Considering how awesome this guy looks and feels, I anticipate transforming him more, so hopefully there is just a bit of a skill curve I (we?) are bumping up against. What I've noticed is that with the CT line, if you miss any single step, or do it improperly, the whole transformation goes awry. I think they have some incredible engineers working at Cang, and seemingly every minute piece of the transformation is seemingly critical to the overall process. To that point: Yeah, there is a lot of room for error on this one. Particularly in regards to the fact that many of the rotations/hinges dont have hard (or soft) "stop points" so there is some judgement involved. But I mostly wanted to say that I love that you do these videos for mere mortals like myself. I was NOT going to try and read through those mandarin/cantonese instructions to figure this bad boy out. He is absolutely magnificent though. I still really enjoy this one. So stoked for the rest of the line. I just hope he can stand on his own a little better than Predaking.

[@michaelwilson4010]

Definitely a savage looking Snarl. Love the ending skit. Wheeljack: "Make me like you" Prime has no chance 😂

[@alangus6332]

Thank you so much for this video, I had been struggling for months to get this guy into stego mode and while I was watching your Thunderking reviews I was recommended this video and now I finally have him in stego mode.

[@nagasumi1547]

FINALLY! U GOT A REVIEW FOR IT! I've been waiting for you to transform this ❤

[@scimasterJ]

For those red hip skirts in dino mode, I had them unfolded and rotated 180 from the way you have them. I found there is a little slot on the inside of the hip panel there that you can plug the slot on the hip skirt into. For some reason it worked really well to help me get the orientation right for the back half of the dinosaur, and added a bit more stability and solidity to the back half.

[@Caelum_NLD]

Thanks, Emgo! Got Stegs for a bit now, and I understand what you mean with the instructions and the videos of other CCs on YT etc. You are still the best out there by far with slid and clear transformation videos.

[@Caelum_NLD]

By FAR! ;)

[@philfromaus]

this! he is the go to man for transformations and reviews, no wonder he couldnt find anyone with a good video haha

[@OzzyTragic]

Yes! Been waiting for you to review this! Hyped

[@-return_of_the_dark_phoeni3541]

Great video as always! Can't wait to see the rest of them from you. You're like an instruction manual that we never wanted, but needed. Your skits are Class A legendary! I give my props to you on those. And watching your video, I see that you had trouble with the legs of Stegs in robot mode. I made the same mistake as you until I realized what I was doing wrong. The figure comes in robot mode and fresh out the box, the legs are all secured in place. The trick is, the pieces that you rotate to tab back in under the back of the knee, that piece is supposed to remain disengaged. Once you have the entire foot locked in securely, you then have to re-engage that piece in to where the empty round ports are on the inside. At the 22:44 mark going from combined to robot mode, you untabbed to the two pieces that were connected to the dino leg, rotated and tabbed them in on the hallow gaps where the gold tabs are on the sides of the dino legs. Those are the pieces that I'm talking about. I think someone else can explain it better than I can. Yes, it's tricky, but if executed correctly, you can't go wrong..

[@julienserre8867]

I'm sorry but I don't understand what you tried to explain. Too bad. I'm pretty sure that would have helped me

[@Jonsphantom428]

Concerning the hands when converting to Dino mode, I always rotate them 180° so that the thumb is on the outside. It gives me room to move it if it gets snagged, and makes it easier to position to the side of the hand so the compartment can fully close.

[@The_Nuuruhuine]

This guy and his brethren are on my wishlist after seeing your Predaking videos. As soon as I can, they will be in my collection.

[@stevewalker3641]

An absolutely stunning figure in both modes, I look forward to the full Volcanicus review. I suspect the Stegsarow figure has made the number 1 slot for most complicated transform sequence. I haven't seen you struggle this much with any other figure. Great review.

[@nucleonegro97325]

This piece looks so awesome, i wonder if we'll get a smaller sized version

[@kalobhunt9001]

I’m loving these so far I think I’m most excited about the bronto and spino but all of them look amazing. Also there recolor of the predaking is gonna be amazing. The purple and green.

[@benjaminandrew9057]

So looking forward to getting this next week and to the group as a whole as they come out. Love the Cang Toy designs.

[@Shadow200001]

On the hip skirts at 28:45, is anyone else seeing the black dots on the skirt pieces he is filling with sparkling red, as if there was an LED in them. Or is that just my monitor?

[@DoctorOfSpice]

Awesome, I've literally been waiting to open mine until this video (and the JTI) came out!

[@robertgripton4499]

From what I have seen you have done the most comprehensive video on this figure. So if you did miss something i did not see it. Stay safe all.

[@Shade2800]

Yeah... Your final thoughts practically summarized my own thoughts on this piece. Hopefully future figures are more fun to transform.

[@zerotsubasa5499]

I can not wait to get the rest of this team

[@jjchng415]

Transformers meets Gundam, awesome look!

[@LordKrauser22]

I was waiting for this video! And I have to agree, the transformation is not easy (du to poor instructions) but the result is great imo.

[@bernardhamilton2205]

Nice figure but I wouldn’t have the patience to transform it. Many respects to you Emgo 👍

[@sailordaigurren8225]

Got him over a month ago from ShowZ and figuring out how to transform him was tricky. I think I've only done it once back and forth. So glad to have a JTI for him finally. He's really cool, but the jumbo swords don't stay very well in his hands due to their weight. Really wish they'd use the rail system that MMC uses. Otherwise, he's really cool and I look forward to the rest of these guys.

[@matthewelliott7294]

The motto that Cang Toys should be “Have Band-aids on standby”

[@DeanWelsh-q9n]

This version of Snarl looks so freaking cool, I want one ❤️😊👍👏

[@SamWhitehead-v5c]

After time with mine I noticed that's there's a tab on the hip flaps and a slot on the inside of the leg when you rotat to dinomode

[@dragonking6639]

This figure could also be called Stab-Sorrow, because of what it’ll do to you as you handle it, and what you’ll be feeling while handling it.

[@richardhodgson6711]

Is it just me getting big Zoids vibes from the dino mode?

[@Big-Image]

The Zoids vibes are a lot more prominent in the concept art.

[@kirbymarchbarcena]

I can't wait to see Emgo play with the Cang Toys Predacons and Dinobots once he completes them.

[@robertsonparagas3335]

At the end of this, it's going to be one organized chaos... Can't wait for Volcanicus. Speaking of chaos... Is there a possibility of messing up with the combination a bit to make 'The Beast'?

[@stuartcork1249]

I haven't opened mine yet, but am looking forward to having my own Alien/Transformers crossover with the dino head sticking out of the robot chest.

[@chungin955]

fun fact the tail spikes are officially called the thagomizer thanks to a far-side comic strip

[@Lectrikfro]

Fun fact: the spiked thing at the end of a stegosaur tail is called a thagomizer

[@tycol322]

I wasn't sure if you were serious or just taking the mick so I googled it and was surprised you were right. I'm sorry I doubted you

[@matthewelliott7294]

#themoreyouknow

[@Lectrikfro]

@@tycol322 It doesn't sound real because a paleontologist realized it didn't have a name and applied the name given to it in a Far Side comic.

[@arkron81]

Aren't those guns "blush-compatible"? As well as the "bow"? From the video, they looked like they were but I could be mistaken.

[@psychobug3033]

It's so much pressure transforming this stegasarow

[@cobalttyreal]

went to try to buy this figure while watiching this video and the price for it is vastly different depending on which site you go to. there also seems to be major color variants on this figure too. first on i found has all ready spikes/plates

[@monsterdcw]

Any chance we will see the rest of Superion? I know there is one guy out we haven’t seen yet. And I think the last one is coming out soon

[@FlareZaria2702]

I got kyoryuger vs go-busters vibe by knowing these cang toys series fight each other in the lore

[@serina3872]

I don't have much of an issue with the robot to dino transformation over than the back spine part, its just the combine mode i have a trouble with

[@tanmanbaseballfan]

has dino rider vibes and i'm digging it!

[@Asher_Tye]

So will we be geting three new dinobots to be the feet and pants?

[@pedroarmstrong8625]

God i am so hyped for the new Cang Toys combiner, loved their Predaking even thow i couldn't get it. Hey Emgo it would be fun to compare the equivalent Predaking to the next Dinobot, like the left arm with the left arm, just random thoughts and out of curiosity are the two combiners in any shape compatible? Like could you conect this leg on Predakind?

[@joemcgonagle7177]

Gonna take 3 years to finally release all of these

[@JohnnyJohnthor]

I got a big question for you since I have this problem too. Do your hands get sweaty every time you fiddling with transforming figure?

[@ThunderNitro909]

i wonder if chang toys grimlock will be awesome and Volcanicus

[@victorygo]

no metal parts?

[@MrWesternAUS]

So, if their release window is the same as their Predaking, everything will take about 2 years to come out? Fingers crossed the rest of the components don't have the same fiddle factor that Stegsarow did, and hopefully their instructions are a little better.....we can hope, right?

[@firerex5978]

You have the back legs miss transform. the dino back leg knee spikes are supposed to pop out like in combined mod, I guarantee that peg and tab will come together easily

[@joemcgonagle7177]

Wow this thing looks so great. Came across a wicked good deal on this but debating if I want it or not. Definitely not interested in the combiner mode.

[@Serenity_Dee]

Cang Toys has been making absolutely amazing figures I cannot remotely justify spending the money on 😅. Maybe one day I will have that kind of disposable income, but right now I need to pay for things like a dining table.

[@Lyc4n1121]

Can’t wait till it’s complete it’s gonna be huge

[@kamal_jab]

Ohhh... are you gonna pit them with predaking?

[@backwoodsparanormal84]

The head sculpt reminds me of one of Spider-Man’s villains rhino

[@dgotcookies]

Jesus the QC looks like a nightmare

[@k1ngofpayne991]

Damn impressive Model love the details but im afraid that if i had to transform it once just even once i probs yeet that thing out my 11 story apartment before i get the legs done.

[@turingmachine7905]

21:35 Shots Fired!!!

[@emgo316]

stating facts

[@The_Draganox]

I've had this figure for a few weeks now: 1. The dino mode and combine mode kind of feel like "oh, right, we forgot he's not just a robot," at least in terms of transformation. 2. Many of Cang Toys figures have robot mode legs that transform in pretty much the same way; it wouldn't be hard for them to add little markings inside the legs telling us where to place which joint for each mode. 3. This TOY has drawn blood from me three times already, be carefull, especially with the back of the legs. 4. Too tight of joints that required disassembly and sanding some plastic (which I'd recommend doing if you're comfortable taking apart a multi-hundred dollar figure). 5. I'm probably just going to leave all the figures in this set in combine mode. Their Predaking set I can transform all day, this figure though I don't want to, maybe once in a while just as a refresher, but no more.

[@Tanookicatoon]

I wonder why it comes with those Chinese new year pouches.

[@kamal_jab]

Probably it was scheduled to launch during the lunar new year only to be extended a few months after... My 2cent

[@simsreject5925]

Since you said there weren't any good videos about how to transform this figure: There's a guy, Golden Zhen, who does Transformers stuff too. He did a full transformation video on this toy 3 months ago. He seems to get access to some of these 3rd party figures a lot earlier, and could be a good reference for how to transform some of these more complicated figures. The only problem is his videos are in Chinese. But just like most of these 3rd party figure instructions, the video seems to be good enough. He did skip combine mode though.

[@emgo316]

Exactly. That’s what I had most trouble with so it doesn’t help.

[@SmokingRoach]

The tail whip reminds me of Age of Extinction

[@nericen82nd]

So, think everyone else was waiting for you to transform it before they went ahead to review it themselves?

[@AbhishekKr.Singh1609]

This looks amazing They should do a TFPRIME KNOCKOUT

[@jbrecken]

Are the feet going to be their own bots like with their Predaking?

[@thestigsdutchcousin]

Yes. Presumably they come with Grimlock and Scorn. They will be two smaller Ankylosaur.

A real pain to transform but actually a very good looking Gundam :))))
