First Gokin NT-01 Cerebral (Krang Android Body) Figure Video Review

[@ShartimusPrime]

I'm so peanut butter and jealous that I'm not even hungry anymore. Great vid! Must get figure!

[@thecoolkidsclub1436]

ShartimusPrime please review this when u get it its the coolest figure iv seen of krang and if u army build the nick krang figures they can be krang drones i can't weight for your review of this ur the coolest

[@antoniomontana2034]

U & Pixel Dan r the 💣

[@josephzanabria9369]

haha, yeah man is worth it, really stands up

[@abymondesir23]

Review this shart if you get it

[@fatman1997jan]

LOL 😂

[@KiwamuTheKappa]

argh... He looks so amazing. I really hope I can get my hands on one. First Gokin also announced that they'll make a second figure, fingers crossed for a Shredder.

[@getawaydreamer2724]

This is the best toy version I’ve ever seen yet.

[@dannyflysaround5413]

I will always thing that krang is the figure and the man-droid body is an accessory

[@clarencewong7298]

That "Krang" is amazing, thanks for reviewing this...never knew about it!

[@Graytoke]

Dang man, your gonna make me start collecting TMNT aren't you Dan...This guy is sooooo cool looking, and the shots you got with the Turtles are sweet!

[@BuzzKirill3D]

For some reason it reminds me of toys you see in movies, like Small Soldiers, Jingle All The Way, etc. Just the quality of it.

[@TaliaIGhul]

That is a (unofficial) Masterpiece Krang. :)

[@toadboy7493]

I bet a 2014 movie Shredder piece would look great in this style.

[@Sal_Sal27]

Goes really good with the NECA TMNT arcade Turtles and Shredder & 3 Foot Soldiers.

[@Robogeek28]

Supposedly if this guy sells well, a Shreddar will be next.

[@MrGramz09]

Best krang I've seen yet

[@ZimMan2]

I just want to clarify this because it bugs me that people spread this misconception: "Third party" does not mean "unlicensed." In a market, the "first party" is the owner of an intellectual property and often the producer/distributor of merchandise associated with said intellectual property. The "second party" is us, the consumers who buy those products. A "third party" is someone who is licensed to produce products owned by the first party. These unlicensed toys are often called "third party" because strictly speaking, they are a party producing product of an intellectual property that is not the first party who owns it or the second party consuming the intellectual property, however, the unlisenced part is not what makes them "third party." To use an example related to this video, the Revoltech Ninja Turtles are third party, since they're not made by Playmates but are still officially licensed. This figure, by a certain logic, could be called third party, but its unlicensed nature puts it just outside the proper definition, making it simply an unlicensed figure. You could call it a knock-off if you really wanted to, but to me, knock-off has always implied something that's trying to trick you into thinking its an official product or which steals actual toy design and engineering. Just wanted to clarify that.

[@vicmelepresupdilimanuaappl914]

ZimMan2 Thanks, that was very informative. Can the companies who owns the characters SUE the people who make these toys since they are unlicensed? I've seen a couple of these third party toys usually its made by Chinese people think there is one called CRAZY TOYS.

[@ZimMan2]

They absolutely could, but at this point, it would likely cause them a lot of trouble, since courts often expect companies to protect their IP consistently, and the precedent has been set for most of these companies ignoring unlicensed figures. Like, let's say I started a company called Mad Mike Mind Uppers or something like that and I made an unlicensed figure based off of Cosmos from Transformers. Hasbro could sue me, but because they didn't go after iGear when they made an unofficial Cosmos, they could get in trouble for not protecting their IP previously, so it often benefits these companies to either let it all slide or put the hammer down completely (like Harmony Gold) so as to avoid the trouble involved with not consistently protecting their IP. And that actually raises a good point about this figure, since previously, there haven't been any unlicensed Ninja Turtles figures, so it might turn out that Playmates is more litigious than Hasbro and will bring the hammer down on this figure which will inevitably put a damper on any future plans from First Gokin or any other companies who want to make unlicensed Ninja Turtles figures.

[@vicmelepresupdilimanuaappl914]

i see. Do these 3rd party toy companies have a base of operation? Cause i dont think they do. I think they just make the figure put their "company name" on it. But i dont think they have an office. I think they just make this 3rd party unlicensed figures in some warehouse and sell them online or find some local distributor. I dont think they can sue these 3rd party companies cause they are like music and movie cd pirates. The "company name" is just like a signature. They are not really a registered company am i right?

[@ZimMan2]

I can't really say for sure, since I've never dealt with any of these companies, even as a consumer, but I've always gotten the impression that they at least have enough connections to hire proper factories to produce their stuff, even in small production runs.

[@abymondesir23]

Great point

[@ninja6531]

PLAYMATES needs to step it up.

[@YamiAnubisX]

or let Neca do all the heavy lifting for them.

[@jameshenry3624]

All hail NECA

[@poserdisposer6460]

with all due respect, i am a kid, and i have a lot of figures that are a lot cheaper of quality, and i have broken but one, because i posed it in such a way that it was leaning over my figure shelf (a.k.a. my dresser) like i said, all due respect given to you and the amazing content you make, but not all childeren are clumsy or careless

[@omni9877]

Gizmoguy47 he means children like if your like 2-6

[@cheeno84]

Soooooooooo Beautiful!!! I almost cried!!! Finally a kick ass Krang figure!! Great job +PixelDan Eardley as always!!

[@colhero1]

3rd Party movie Super Shredder anyone?

[@galmorzu]

What a weird state of affairs when these third party companies are producing better quality figures than the official companies are. Especially on the transformers front, it's insane the stuff that's out there now.

[@ilikethecokev2]

A perfect replacement for the cancelled Classics Krang, and a great Krang figure overall.

[@frenchabortion]

Dan, thank you. You rule. Awesome super rad seeing the 3 side by side. Good job brutha. Don't ever change!

[@geraldstoudenmire1833]

Mine is on its way now thanks dan for the review

[@abymondesir23]

Very impressive I'm def getting this, great size sculpt and articulation, I hope shartimus prime reviews this too

[@Mahado]

Thank you, Dan! Been wanting to see your review on it!

[@Reach008]

Man that Krang is flippin sweet

[@MrKrushgutz]

Can't wait for the First Gokin Shredder to come out.

[@wiibrockster]

This is how Krang should've looked in TMNT: Out of The Shadows if you asked me. This would look great next to the Classic Turtles figures from Playmates. I think It'd really give off the vibe that Krang is an Alien Warlord with really advanced technology when compared to The four Turtles.

[@Dinoslay]

I used to have the vintage Krang figure, this one seems most accurate to the show.

[@ZeroStako]

These guys should do Shredder / Super Shredder. Totally want.

[@eool123]

amazing figure, it has a lot of details.

[@horrorman2269]

Awesome! I hope they make the Shredder from the TMNT cartoon now.

[@anthonycoscia5501]

Thank you, P.D...Because of your review!..I got this action figure. It’s very cool.

[@handznet]

Really love the figure. Hope they will make more TMNT stuff. Thanx for review Dan!

[@ThereIsKnowSpoon]

I'm watching in 2019. It's funny that you said Radio Shack.

[@youngdboyz2055]

When are we going to get April o Neil kunochi costume as a action figure

[@ComicsReMIXed]

You've convinced me! Now I need 2!!! Thanks Dan! -Junior

[@TheFlawlessWallace]

This figure looks sooo dope! I would love to see someone use this figure in some A.C.B.A.

[@TheMelvor]

Man I wish they sold that Krang seperately as the price is a little steep for my pockets. I'd love to put him in the vintage body. It's awesome that they made him relatively the same size as the original so you can switch him out.

[@Eddierangers1989]

This would go great with the SH Figuarts TMNT figures. Hopefully one gets put on Ebay

[@ilikethecokev2]

I wonder if a Figuarts Krang & Shredder will be made? Thus far I only know of the 4 turtles and that's it.

[@wiibrockster]

Eddierangers1989 What about the playmates Classics?

[@thecosmicpallbearer]

Phelan Porteous also did a review of this on Bootleg Zones

[@telephantasm4070]

I get that they don't use the actual names because it's unlicensed, but it is obviously Krang. How come they don't get in legal trouble?

[@TheSkullReviews]

Wow that thing is amazing, love it!!!

[@skabcat242]

I wish playmates made this.

[@Mrashxking]

Now let's hope they give us a Shredder and classis style frogs

[@thesmstudios3223]

Pixel Dan I got some you might enjoy review the nt-02 shredder

[@Charlou27]

that looks very nice.

[@Gunnerererer]

Fun fact: cerebral means the cranium of the brain. Thats why in this third party the named him cerebral.

[@CloneScavengerVulpin8389]

Awesome very accurate krang figure

[@primekiller5729]

You should pull on his legs before you move his hips to avoid that cracking sound it makes when you move his legs side to side.

[@Dublr81]

just finally got my Neca one in. Wonder if Dan still has this guy.

[@countvonghoul4389]

They confirmed with a member on the Technodrome Forums that they are currently working on designs for another TMNT character that "once you see it, you will shit bricks" lol. I'm betting on Shredder since they could do some really awesome diecast armor. On another note I got this guy in the mail today and the holes in the axes are not shapped correctly or big enough to fit the hand pegs on. Kinda a bummer but i will probably just display him without them.

[@josephzanabria9369]

is a licensed toy, and playmates will never do somethung better than that, cheers first goking!

[@b.lloydreese2030]

that looks awesome

[@KeyKiller74]

Looks Awesome dude !

[@4thecollectors]

this dude go so hard its crazy keep em coming

[@bigred6978]

I got this when I was six and I never touched him I put him under my bed because I was afraid I would break him I’m 13 years old now and I have a good setup and he is sitting on my shelf right next to my Godzilla

[@hosomi1833]

Best version of the mandroid

[@retropirate1]

This looks so sick.

[@davidmcbride8514]

This is cool but I'd like an official playmates Old school Krang.

[@matthewalford1985]

Thanks for the great review. Where do you get your stands to pose the classic collection turtles with the Krang body?

[@OscarG787]

But it's not a figure to mess around with too much. Especially for poses. Looks awesome non the less.

[@BuzzKirill3D]

Wait, when I saw the preview pics I thought this was gonna be an actual TMNT Classics Krang? wtf? are we not getting a licensed figure? not that anything's wrong with this one, in fact it's amazing, but there's that slight tinge of dissatisfaction of knowing it's not an official Hasbro product

[@thatrandomguyperson5051]

I really want this

[@lali-ho6155]

Awesome figure Awesome vid

[@oliverpony]

With the Vintage Krang I don't get why the frame around him is turquoise and not yellow / gold

[@paxhumana2015]

Why don't they, let alone Playmates Toys, make the Boxing Glove Robot, Hover Blaster (the sub-bosses of Stage 2 from TMNT III for the NES, or TMNT II for the Famicom), Ninjara, Tora the Polar Beast, and Shogun figures, let alone a 2012 version of the Rodney Roadkill robots?

[@oliverpony]

Can you please do a comparison between the original ,this one and the NECA version????

[@kingkahn11]

This is still my default Krang. Not even sure I’ll grab the neca version.

[@pbairsoftreviewz]

Hey Dan, what figure stands are those? where can i get the ones you used to hold up the mikey and raph figures?

[@Retro_AO_1982]

friggin awesome!!

[@TitaniumTj]

one of the best "non toy" that i have ever seen

[@hosomi1833]

Awesome

[@BrutalPoohBear]

WOW!!! I have to get this, looks so awesome! Where can I get him?

[@TempleOfToys]

Great Review Dan. Where is your T - Shirt from :)

[@werewolfofwysteria3341]

Hey dan, how about the NT-02 oraku saki? Did you manage to pick that one up?

[@neilcalder6156]

It's awesome

[@haistonfennell1015]

Was really hoping to see the neca turtles in comparison:/

[@jboypacman]

He is really nice!

[@spinogeno8206]

Man, you have an interesting and cool job :)

[@mrjoshchung]

Hey Dan! What figure stands did you use for the pictures with the Classic TMNT Turtles?

[@Cazz8203]

so it's very very nice

[@MauiQuestR]

Great review! Still on the fence on getting one though. When I heard about the cancelation I was reminded oh how disappointed and erked by pLAYMATES back then, and more so now.

[@getdown9]

To dam awesome

[@shelbsandfeefee2065]

this is amazing

[@jayjayshowcaser5859]

Looks cool / but it could use more accessories / especially for the price it is /

[@wazzymohawk6155]

hey dan great figure love the krang they great

[@mamaluigi1041]

:-( 👎👎

[@Ut00bsux0rz]

really? no 3rd party Transformers? not even the Fans Toys Quakewave? that figure is amazing. also, it's the only way you're ever gonna get a masterpiece G1 Shockwave because Takara/Hasbro doesn't have the rights to make the character anymore.

[@ShadowSumac]

13:56 Krang and his not particularly bright cousin Cringe. The only thing that bothers me, is that his hands are not red.

[@bigredtomato7693]

omg i need that for my collectibles.i need it.

[@archmage7813]

How did that 3rd party not get sued out of business?!!?!?!??!!

[@BenSmithninjaben]

Where did you get that shirt‽‽‽ Me wants!

[@plzfollow]

Waiting for a Classic Collection Krang - think we'll ever see more from that line?

[@animeoh9568]

No. They cancelled the TMNT classic collection I believe.

[@WarmachineVengeance]

Animeoh! WUUUUT????

[@plzfollow]

XmenMagnetoAcolytes +Animeoh! Source?

[@animeoh9568]

Pixel Dan said it himself. Classic collection krang and shredder have been canceled www.crookedninja.com/2015/02/tmnt-classic-6-krang-and-shredder-cancelled/

[@WarmachineVengeance]

Animeoh! Ahhh, that's so shitty! We need a Shredder gawdummit!

[@Pegwarmers]

He's so cool... but so expensive.

[@eccentricviews]

I love it!!

[@puff8D]

Can you review their shredder version?

[@kommunisto_adov]

Thanos of our time;)

[@terrycoleman8268]

What are those clear stands called ??

[@anthonycoscia5501]

Hey guys... I’m going to display my-Cerebral Kraing. I want get clear plastic to protect it, and so I can display it in the package. Can anyone, tell me how to do it?

[@shinobipizza]

Hey Pixal, those new versions of the playmates ninja turtles with the irises and pupils and mask-painted elbow and knee pads are out. I really like them. Are you going to review them?

[@OscarG787]

He reviewed the revoltech turtles already and the updated classic turtles.

[@shinobipizza]

OscarG787 no, if you've seen the 2015 toy fair video, there are new versions of the basic turtles from 2012 painted to look more like the 87 turtles. They also have the irises and pupils.

[@OscarG787]

Ah okay gonna check that out dude. Thx.

[@OscarG787]

Ah I remember watching that video now. More paint apps then the first 2012 tmnt toy releases with pupils but my opinion is they should have had all those paint apps in the first place. Wonder how much will they charge now aside from the regular $8.99 price range.

[@itsmanustudios7227]

hey noticr the NT on it maybe it stands for NINJA TURTLES

[@RenaisBernard1]

***** What about the NECA Turtles?
