Figure or Fodder? SHF Ant-Man and Harry Potter, Dragon Stars Goku, SWB Moloch, and Revoltech Review

Or rather: Robo decides to open up a few toys all at once so he can play with MORE. Today it's the S.H. Figuarts Ant-Man and Ant set, Dragon Star Goku, Star Wars Black Series Moloch, S.H. Figuarts Harry Potter, and the KT Project KT-022 Takeya Style Jizai Okimono Vajrayaksa (Kongouyasyamyouou) Woodcraft figure that I could only pronounce a few words from. Mostly "action figure" and "revoltech" and I sometimes question my pronunciation of Revoltech.

[@alexandernakamura8077]

So many reviews in one video... I-is this heaven?..

[@rellko3900]

I sense great warping on those ant wings over time...

[@TheTrognation]

That smiling Harry head looks like Nic Cage to a scary degree.

[@memoseven4652]

I wanna see that Harry Potter get a proper review :(

[@l1m0b0at3]

Id like older versions of the characters lol definitely getting snape

[@mrcat3493]

l1m0b0at I want Professor McGonagall just because she’s my waifu. 🤪😱

[@juansanchez209]

Obviously the S.H. figuarts DBZ figures are better, but for the price point they damn well better be the superiors figures lol. I'm actually very impressed with the Dragon Star line given that they are mass retail figures. They're a fine line to collect if you can't bring yourself to justify the price tag associated with import figures.

[@juansanchez209]

@Mighty Raccoon We can only hope! Marvel Legends has slowly been incorporating sculpted nipples into the design of their figures (Namor, Jackal, MCU Hulk, etc.) so i guess toy companies are finally realizing that sculpted nipples are the way to go.

[@RR-8]

Exactly. I have always wanted a Mystic Gohan but SHF ones are way out of my budget. I chanced upon a Dragon Stars one for very cheap (CAD $15) and it's really good. Infact their sculpt is getting better with the newer waves.

[@ken2tintoo]

“It feels very.... sex toyish” - Robo Thanks dude! I appreciate you!

[@neopada9091]

19:01 it's a bell.

[@noeffortrandomness3182]

Yeah I want to like dragon stars but they make it hard its nice that they have characters & style the others don't though & can't wait for the broly build a figure

[@unorthdoxcleric6953]

I love figure or fodder. Thanks Robo

[@mikemaffeo7758]

I've missed figure or fodder. Glad it's back

[@DriftSpaceZero]

I also purchased the KT-022 Kongoyasha Myoo (which I ordered after seeing the first video you posted mentioning it) and had the EXACT same problems; finish was not as depicted; the arrow hand hole was too small, and that upper-left hand was not the right hand/sculpt. My sword actually broke-off when I went to separate the grip to insert it into his hand, so I had to glue it together in his hand. I also had to drill-out the arrow hand to get the arrow to fit. Anyway, to get my figure to hold the wheel: I used some flush-cut nippers to separate the thumb from the hand, and then clipped off a small part of the index finger (not quite as wide as the wheel) so I could position the wheel in that space while being held by the thumb. I still like it as a figure -- it's just such a weird, stand-out piece in my collection -- but I don't think I'll be adding a lot more Revoltech to my collection ... except I LOVE the look of the upcoming KT Project Medama Oyaji.

[@Charlie-ox4th]

I have just about every piece in the Takeyashiki Buddhist pantheon so far, and they are usually fantastic. The QC is not as good as it has been for the other pieces in the line, as you experienced (pieces not fitting properly, et cetera). I did get the full-color version of it, though, and it really does look gorgeous compared to the "wood" version.

[@osirisunderworlddweller3868]

“It feels very sex toy-ish” 😨

[@JakeV]

Wow, that Takeyashiki is disappointing. The box made it seem huge.

[@DriftSpaceZero]

This whole line of figures is pretty underwhelming; I purchased a few more after getting (and liking) this one, and finding out how inexpensive some of these are now. This KT-022 figure is probably the best of the bunch. Fujin and Raijin are pretty good, but not for their prices. Manufacture quality overall isn't great.

[@timh9834]

The full-color versions are more satisfying. If you research the historical statues or artwork that these figures are based on, the figures become much richer for their originality and uniqueness. For example, the Kongouyasha Myo-o is one of the five (sometimes eight) Buddhist wisdom kings. A much earlier one, Fudou-Myo-o, another wisdom king, is a popular Buddhist figure across Japan. Though I have gripes of my own (way long ago, the figure of Tamonten is shorter than the other three Cardinal direction kings, even though he is their king. But definitely, I'd say the full-color versions are better--their detail stands out much better and color variation gives them more character.

[@dobi287]

God statute looks like it would go well with a dr. Strange or hellboy figure. And of course they'd be talking to it and it'd be talking back

[@nigellemaitre8363]

I thought I was watching Criminally Listed at the beginning there.

[@biggeasy77toyreviews75]

The Figuarts Harry Potter line is gonna break me!!! Both of my daughters love Harry Potter as much as I do..so I'll have to order 3!!! So glad you reviewed him!!! Liked the new intro! Bet Gus looks cool on the big ant! Thanks for all you do for us!!!

[@jarosbodytko6462]

And that's just Harry, there's Ron and Hermione and upcoming Snape as well :D

[@biggeasy77toyreviews75]

@@jarosbodytko6462 I need a spare time job!!! Lol

[@eyes4power]

Love this series, please do more, maybe include more reviewers in a deluxe episode, or just a longer episode with a whole bunch of figures. In conclusion, more please!

[@Taipan108]

The Revoltech Buddhist Guardian Demon’s weapons ain’t all weapons. The “double claw” weapon at 16:33 is actually a dorje (Tibetan symbolic thunderbolt) and the “chalice” at around 16:23 is a bell with a dorje for a handle. The wagon wheel (chakra) is symbolic for the dharma (Buddhist teachings) but was used as a weapon by some gods (like Vishnu and Krishna).

[@dtorrey867]

Thanks for that tip about Harry's feet! I was having such difficulty until I remembered that!

[@TheFwoosh]

Yeah, at first I thought they had really screwed up when I realized, oh, cool.

Figure or Fodder is cool.

[@BGLoscar]

Wait a minute! The Harry Potter figure's alt faces has the infamous scar but there aren't any alternate hair to show the scar?? WTF?! That's a shame... Anyway... Nice video robo!

[@theghost4502]

Moloch is probably my sleeper Black Series figure of the year. I had to eBay for it, as it's never turning up at retail here in Australia, and waited a while before bothering to order. But needed to order a couple of things to use a discount code (Bespin Leia was the other figure) and I was surprised at how cool Moloch actually is. I didn't even remember him from the movie, but definitely a cool figure.

[@lrf233]

Great review. I appreciate the Dragon Star review. I’ve been seeing those figures for a while and was close to buying them especially since they have a BAF with them. After seeing you mess with it I was definitely unimpressed.

[@mahoutsuguy863]

We already know about Snape. The curse begins.

[@dobi287]

Seeing the separate hairless harry potter head made me think of the wolf dude from the sin city movie 😄

[@FullMetalOstrich]

I’ll probably wait on moloch till clearance. I think it’s crazy that Hasbro has the audacity to charge $10 more for a marginally larger figure, when these $30 “deluxe figures aren’t much bigger (or bigger at all) than previous $20 Hasbro releases like Chewie, Groot, thanos, etc.

[@onepieceswat]

That revoltech character is based on a Buddhist deity or myth, vajra is that dumbell looking thing that has lightning power or something. You can see those mostly in Nepal as well as sword looks like from manjushree

[@yokaicustoms]

I have some of the KT samurai skeletons and love them but they are a bit dainty in their size. They could scale up just a hair.

[@thefont9]

Really dig the concept of figure or fodder. Hope you do more but also don’t want you to go bankrupt!

[@TheFwoosh]

Believe me, I have enough stuff in piles to do this for a while, haha.

[@joelsinga]

Are we just gonna ignore the fact that Moloch can clearly be seen walking in Solo but is somehow a slug as an "action" figure?

[@tunching8049]

All are fine with me..except Goku...I ENJOYED WATCHING..YEAHH😄

[@Novapoid]

Figure or Fodder ? is such a good idea for a mini-show. Anyways, Harry is even better looking in person (as I'm sure Robo could agree upon), so yeah, the main flaw is the lack of a base for flying poses. I would have liked for an older rendition, but on the other hand, if these don't sell, not even Snape is going to get released. I HATED Ant-man and The Wasp but this figure is kinda better in a couple of regards than the SHF Civil War Ant-man so I wish I waited but oh well.

[@jarosbodytko6462]

My Harry Potter (well, it's for my girlfriend, really) is on its way. But I was wondering if there is a plug in his back to plug in a stand for a flight pose on his broom, or if you have to wedge the stand between his back and his robe? Also, I enjoyed Ant-Man and the Wasp a lot despite it's flaws but I might get this Ant-Man. It looks better than the Civil War version. I don't know if I want to get him if there is no Wasp coming up

[@TheFwoosh]

There is no hole in his back so you're going to have to kind of wedge it. And they showed a Wasp at one of the shows but haven't solicited it yet.

[@steffy2]

The angry Harry Potter face kind of looks like Nicholas cage x)

[@M1cDams]

New fwoosh drinking game. Take a shot every time Robo says the figure has a hard time standing. And then it stands first try ... ahhhhh hahawohooo I swearrr tooo drunkkkkk I’m nknot gawwddeee

[@TheFwoosh]

My figures are such divas.

[@ThatWrestlingHound]

Yay its back

[@Verithiell]

SHF is such a mixed bag in termms of the amount of details. On one hand we have figures such as Maul or TLJ Luke with incredible texture on the fabric, while on the other figures as plain as dooku or this Harry Potter.... I wish they got their lines up to the standard of Maul and Luke.

[@gesie0504]

"Very SEXTOY~ish..." 😂 Darn it Robo you read my Mind.

[@Its__Dark__]

That Takeyashiki Figure looked similar to a semi important statue in the Spider-man PS4 game. There's mission at a museum and I think it is the 1st Mary Jane mission. Anyways I'm a sucker for Dragon Ball figures and Harry Potter figures so I get the impulse to just buy it lol.

[@shinjiikari1989]

Wait for later Harry potter older heromine, if they are doing the entire series

[@sportyeight7769]

:)

[@Commander_Shepard.]

:)

[@dragoslo77]

Dragon Star Goku kaioken Blue looks great for $20 are you kidding me, Ill admit some of them look off, like Jiren and Vegeta Blue but the price point is part of the appeal.

[@TheFwoosh]

And I completely understand that, I even said that if you're looking for a cheaper line, get these. But if you're wanting something better, pay for the imports. I don't personally like them though.

[@ArmaBiologica35]

I was expecting you'd make a review of the Harry Potter figure. Can't wait to get it.

[@slimeyslug50]

Any chance of a collection update? Those shelves must be looking pretty full by now.

[@TheFwoosh]

I'm thinking January will be perfect for that.

[@gmoney1664]

The Yamaguchi looks awesome, I reckon if you combined it with the Sinbad skeleton the did a few years back you could get some great stop motion animation going! Just needs a more skilled man than me to do it! And I like Harry but I'm not jumping down that rabbit hole! 💸💸💸💸

[@Jamall_Toys]

What a bummer on that Takeyashiki. :(

[@frankrodriguez2999]

5:30 🤣🤣🤣 they are here to F with Robo.

[@RobZomBOfficial]

That Antman is dope. Nice vid!👏🏽

[@XXTROB]

Loved the review especially the part with the dude from solo...that Revoltech figure is an old Revo rereleased and recolored...I just hate Revoltech and yet I ordered psylocke 😒 I have issues also

[@TheArcaneMageLord]

That's Kongouyasha Myoo xD, one of the Great Kings, a diety that symbolizes strength and is the destroyer of the foolish human desires. The hook or claws you are referring to is actually a five-pronged vajra and the other one is a vajra-bell. The stand is part of the "statue" is not an optional part. But I don't understand why they made a Japanese Buddhist deity into a poseable figure xD. Can't help you with the wheel, it might be a factory mistake or ...did you try to put one of the ends of the wheel in his fist? I know it sounds dumb but that's all I got! Great review as always!

[@xeanheart]

This ep is missing from the playlist.

[@jarosbodytko6462]

The Harry Potter is on its way as a gift for my girlfriend. Glad to see it's a good figure. Not that I was really worried, it's SHF, but a new line always brings some concerns. BTW. Robo, is there a peg in the back to plug in a SHF stand? I have an extra SHF stand but I'm not sure how it connects with the robe and all.

[@TheFwoosh]

There is no hole, looks like you have to kind of wedge it between the robe and the body. Weird, now that you mention it.

[@joshuahoge1662]

the dragon stars series has gotten way better.

[@TheFwoosh]

I saw them in a shop last week and they did seem to look better.

[@joshuahoge1662]

The Fwoosh yeah and the newer ones have much better Articulation the one in this review was a repaint if one drone series 2 which wasn’t a very good wave other then Goku black who really is a stand out figure right through best range of elbows i’ve seen in a figure!

[@Neitenth]

I have the Harry Potter and I like it. The rest of these aren't doing it for me.

[@AndrewJames-fu6oq]

JP_ TOYZ you again man! Are ya stalkin' me LOL JK.

[@ericdodds4990]

I loved the Figuarts Harry Potter!

[@jamescole7930]

Ok Robo, First enjoy your channel a lot , NOW we have Linda Carter Wonder Woman, Jay Westly Shipp Flash and so on WE NEED A GEORGE REEVES SUPERMAN, you have a voice in the action figure industry so WE WANT A GEORGE REEVES SUPERMAN>

[@Snowmation]

I'd want that Harry Potter figure.

[@noeffortrandomness3182]

I have 5 dragon stars figures & the best made is jiren

[@TheFwoosh]

I've been tempted by Jiren simply because he doesn't have a figure from anyone else.

[@derekknowles5805]

I wonder if they'll do Lord of the rings

[@WilliamSMITH-bs7kw]

Awsome Action Figure review

[@dobi287]

I wish dragon ball had a different style it'd be so much cooler too me

[@BabblingBooby]

Quick and dirty, is there any other style?

[@Tremain]

Does the trenchcoat come off completely off moloch?

[@TheFwoosh]

Yup, you can slide it right off his arms, no problem at all.

[@michaelhynes7717]

I doubt you’ll see this cause u posted this wayyy long ago but I think that last figure could look cool as part of a marvel legends shelf, just as a random interdimensional mystic arts creature battling doctor strange

[@brofesserx9158]

SEXTOYISH!!!! God I love Robo speak! Lol

[@TheFwoosh]

I calls it likes I sees it, haha.

[@aaronmauer7225]

[@Cirroyt]

[@dobi287]

Looks a bit too big for the ant imo. More like his riding a pony instead of a horse

[@TheHughyg]

Ha. It might go in the kitchen somewhere!! My wife would full kill me...

[@duogemstone]

Cant tell if they ever fixed the faces on the dragon stars the ssj vegata and goku ive seen in stores looked like the faces were kinda flat. Though the freeza is pretty good for a stand in for me atm

[@alexisislas-gonzalez5991]

Goku is 5ft actually

[@Mr767267]

[@Commander_Shepard.]

[@TheFwoosh]

It's only for the this series, I've used it for all of them for the past year or so.

[@thebaker525]

The Fwoosh Gosh I feel like a jerk now lol. I guess I've missed more FoF installments than I've realized!

[@ken_r_action_figures7932]

[@israelanthony2249]

[@noeffortrandomness3182]

[@bennogb5069]

Dragon Stars Goku?! Are you sure looked at the box correctly?! I'm sure you're not that much of Dragon ball fan!

[@TheFwoosh]
