[@GAustinGamer]

I have the figure. The tail will connect and hold tightly, but you must push it hard until it clicks into place. There will be no gap when it's on correctly.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

I pushed reasonably hard. So even if that is the case, it shouldn't take that much force.

[@nox_xop]

Yeah my tail seems to connect fine and work as a support, it’s been able to hold the weight of the figure with a cape just fine, even when the cape isn’t resting on the body, sort of in the air a lil (cape was a pain in the butt to attach tho) I agree the tail should’ve been solid tho, the part that connects to the body doesn’t move whatsoever and the other tail joints are pretty useless.

Thank you for the honest review. I already cancelled my order hopefully they make a good fix of this fig if they can 😢

[@vinithkarthek46]

Anthony do you know how to tighten a loose drop down joint. My mafex batmans left drop down is loose and the ball that connects the leg is tight, how do you tighten it?

[@AnthonysCustoms]

you cant really do much for a joint like that. one of the reasons they shouldnt be used in the first place...and theyre almost always loose

[@maskai3408]

Ive seen some people drip polish into the pin

[@kal195]

My Mafex Hush Batman blue suit has had that loose drop down joint since I got it years ago. I just sort of gave up and pose it in ways where it can't drop. But it definitely wants to.

[@pest174]

Pull the leg out and dunk it in warm water for a few seconds. That might reshape it, then add a drop of lubricant on the ball (make sure it's safe on plastics.) and as far as the drop down, I used a tiny flathead to push together the drop down joints.

[@ROUGEBLOCK]

The way Tamashii nations will over engineer some random ass figure in a new line, then continue with treit and true designs in others is fucking bizarre. The only line Ive seen consistency with the new ones is the Naruto line, and the only problem I had was the socket one Kakashi's head was too small so I had to enlarge it a bit.

[@GratefulPrimate]

[@yadongman]

I cannot unsee the unpainted arms and tail now.😂😂

[@jiataoli1810]

My tail personally fits well, it could be a QC issue with yours? I do have issues with it though: -The cape. I just take the cape off whenever I want to handle it, as it is heavy and somewhat restricts action -The moustache system is annoying, they should have come with a pair for each face I think Kaido is a very difficult design to action-figureise, especially the one piece cape designs. he's the reason I got into one piece so honestly I'm pretty happy to own this, but handling it is really difficult.

[@vitorafa7394]

They could just make a cloth cape, it don't need to be made of little feathers like kaido's original cape, a purple fur cape would be enough I think. Plastic capes are simpler to produce but they need all the joint design and almost always destroys the figures balance.

[@KingAbiss]

I hate how quality control can make and break everyones opinions as a whole. My tail stays on well but his head pops off kinda easily if i pose it or move it to the side alot

[@ZFosterZ]

Game- Take a shot for every time something falls off and Anthony says, “Oh my god!” 😂 Looks cool. But isn’t a figure I’d get. Should have just been a statue. Solid review.

[@darthrizzen9349]

Answer of the day at 4:10 the painfully visible chest cut and messy hips have do not scream €200-250 action figure to me, without watching anything else. But that's unfortunately par for the course with SH Figuarts, they always seem to struggle with huge figures and are usually better off with the Zero line.

[@BioCosplay]

The tail not plugging in might be a qc issue? I got it today and the tail on mine plugs in and sits flush to the butt.

[@GamingMafia_id]

On topic of big dudes, looks like axytoys making a new Pitt figure, called "devil", any plan on that Anthony?

[@AnthonysCustoms]

Only if they offer to send a review sample. Never got into the character

[@fransiskusoktafian60]

The only thing i can do later is trying to like and enjoyed the figure as much i can.

[@kamenrider64]

I wonder for the next shonen jump crossover game will kaido be the villain rep for the one piece section.

[@chewymew]

To me, this figure's standing ability and articulation gives off the feeling of a bootleg company releasing a figure based off a prototype. They probably could've lowered the price by $40 if they got rid of the toe joints, and made the cape ABS lol

[@IvanSanchez-ft3mp]

Anthony, you just nailed everything the figure has from good to the issues it has. The cape is one of the biggest head scratchers that makes you wonder why they made it PVC like what the hell, why make it so damn heavy? I will say i still pose him a lot lol. The tail it's another dumb decision that makes you wonder who's in charge with the quality and how the figure moves. I have a Diablo figure and his tail's articulation is way better than what they did here since it's pointless. The paint it's another thing since you are paying almost 240 bucks, at least add some more paint you bunch of cheapskates A-holes. Oh yeah it Falls apart, what i do it's to pose the figure while the face plate and hands will be added later and so far it worked well for me at least. Overall good review and spot on with everything

[@AnthonysCustoms]

thanks

[@redboone1509]

I would cry if I spent that much on that POS. He is a beautiful figure when not articulated but I cant handle falling apart and the huge gaps. A statue would suit him so much better

[@kalorathekau]

I was completely unfamiliar with this figure, so even though I heard you say “expensive” and “high price point” I was still not expecting something as high as $250! I did a double take! At that point in the review, I think it’s already not worth the price. Even before getting into articulation, I think it doesnt visually look like $250.

[@joecyr5836]

A great question of the day some time should be, “what is the most annoying figure you own?” This guy seems to take the cake 🤣 though the absolute most annoying figure in my collection is the Sideshow Collectibles 1/6 General Grievous. Very similar to this where everything falls apart or is too heavy, or too loose 🤬 looks amazing, but is the WORST action figure I’ve ever had the displeasure of handling lol great review man!

[@jocaalexandru6070]

the videos you make on your KZbin channel are cool, a piece of advice before you buy expensive figurines forgotten by others who buy the same figurines as you, because yes, it's not a waste of money and time

[@TheStrscrm]

Is Bandai making One Piece model kits and pricing as full figures?

[@magicmirror8627]

Don't know anything about this character, but he looks like mutated superhero Tick, I like it

[@elimDBZ]

Kaido is one of the major bad guys In one piece in the Wano Arc. His power allows him to turn into an eastern dragon similar to shenron from dragon Ball and the dude is one of the strongest villains in one piece

[@L1mt7]

It was weird when you have high expectations for the figure, then Anthony ruins all the hope and still, you feel thankful for it.

[@bozzy7946]

I think itd be worth more around 200, its size makes me assume its gonna have problems standing already and those joints will get worse over time. The dragon or a human version probably would have been better for a figure that will last but I worry it wouldnt

[@paulrippcord506]

The Maestro Union FuRay Planet Tiger and Werewolf had the same type of legs and they had no issues standing up. A good set of ratcheting ankles and knees are really needed for larger figures

[@AnthonysCustoms]

His ankles are great. Knees are ok. The problem is the heavy cape

[@paulrippcord506]

@@AnthonysCustoms The cape if it’s that heavy should have been done with a wired blue faux fur material, but I’ve never seen Bandai do soft goods capes.

[@Beybladebro824Z]

Are you going to review the Jujutsu Kaisen SH figuarts figures?

[@Mr767267]

I feel you comment about the missing paint on scales is valid, but the advertising and the displayed items in most shows was exactly the same as they have done. The complain that I have it the stability of the figure. I never liked solid plastic capes for SHF, that should be clothed one. The sad part is the tail issue.

[@kimkom5648]

they put articulation on parts that don't really need it just up numbers

[@ChaoticDarkness1]

I definitely know what It's like to handle unpleasant figures, I used to to own the SHF Ginyu Force.

[@arthurchen6464]

LOL is Bandai just giving up with SHF? This guy is up there with Guts and Griffith in terms of just poor choices for engineering and literally falling apart in your hands.

[@DPCHM0D]

I googled an image of him and yes, the scales should have been painted all the way to the legs.... but otherwise it was advertised the way it is.... so people should know what they are buying. I totally agree with anthony, It makes the figure looks cheap. like its unfinished.

[@gabejuice4125]

I think they were going for an anime version because his scales are like that on his shoulders and nowhere else, but then sometimes it goes through out his whole body

[@julianx2rl]

So what you're saying is that the anime cuts those corners too.

[@jarosbodytko6462]

The funny thing about the scales is that even on the prototype, they only painted the scales on his chest and shoulders so it’s not technically a mistake as far as the figure goes. But from what I’ve seen (and I’m not even close to Wano yet) all his scales should be painted this way. So on top of the quality issues, they even managed to fudge up the basic design of the character.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

They're fully colored in the show any time they aren't simplifying the details at district or something like that

[@gelogarcia7855]

Hey the tail, it should be able to go in all the way. The tail on mine is all the way in and is able to use it as a stand. I shouldn't be floppy and loose like that.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

I pushed really hard (that's what she said?) but i guess i can push harder.

[@MadCaddyStandard]

Damn that cape looks heavy - is it?

[@AGdesigns878]

There is a reason why I get only older stuff and it’s reasons like this with Bandai over engineering is why

[@thanksgivingh6185]

Ouch, I don't buy One Piece figures, but this got me a bit worried about the King Cold I pre-ordered the other month seeing how there could be some similarities with them both being huge, having capes, and tails. though, from an outsider perspective most of the One Piece figures do all seem to all have lots of issues(I think Sanji was the only one I didn't see people have a lot to complain about?) so it could be a different team than the Dragonball guys(which isn't perfect by any means either, but does seem to be held to a bit of a higher standard). I can't stand when figures can't do the pose advertised on the promo pics either lol. Recoome comes to mind.

[@Ibrahimno-ie7rw]

Why can’t they just go a bit easy on the line with the pricing and the actual testing out the product . Hell, i’ll go up there offering to test items out for free if gear 5 ends up sucking .

[@knotfan8626]

Think its time for SH to take a step back and re-evaluate. Theyre being given the some of the best IPs around and theyre dropping the ball BAD. I was so hyped for the berserk stuff and theyve only had one thats good but still not even worth the price point

[@Akondom]

I'm still going to buy it but this does bum me out. One piece is my favorite show so i have to have this. Maybe people will hate it so much the price drops lol

[@Jetblast01]

Dang, it's crazy how SH Figurats could really make some incredible figures from animes that were old or one offs, but one of Japan's biggest on-going shows they drop the ball super hard...TWICE!

[@NydexGoat]

[@longnosepete3491]

I was actually going to say the same exact thing about the scales, I noticed it immediately and thought "the scales aren't painted" bandai seems to have this issue a lot, makes their figures look a lot cheaper than they are. Honestly for that big price point the paint is unacceptable, especially when considering the figures size, which isn't even close to how tall it should be when compared to the rest of the line, it reminds me of the old VAH Whitebeard, which was big, but not big enough, when it comes to scale in one piece I would rather it be as accurate as possible. OK, so after watching the video, my honest reaction, a classic AVGN "WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?!?!?!?!" for that price tag, with these issues, man I ought to just make my own kaido figure, at least then it wouldn't fall apart. Also, when you weighed the cape with him, he didn't even have the tail on, so if it's already really close to his weight with no tail, I can imagine it must be a nightmare to deal with, I would definitely get a custom cape for him or something, though that's true of most one piece figures. Overall I'm glad I didn't get into this line, I'll be sticking with my imagination works luffy and some of the VAH figures like I already was doing instead.

Figuarts taking more and more queues articulation-wise from Revoltech but fails to replicate any of the mechanics and fluid sculpts that differentiate the Revoltech line. Same fugly shoulder with SHF Guts, and now it seems to be a precedent for all chunky-ish characters. The tail is a joke.

I didn't notice the rest of the scales were unpainted until now, lol. It looks really weird, there should be no excuse for Bandai to not paint them. This is the reason why Model Kits and Action Figures exist, right? Like, Model Kits are cheaper because people have to build them and sometimes paint them. Action Figures are more expensive because you are buying a finished product, this figure is really nice but looks unfinished. Edit: I'm still watching your review and it's kinda funny seeing everything falling, lol. This could have been a model kit if everything can disconnect that easily.

The unpainted scales are a huge issue

[@zannusx]

Prewatch qotd, and my answer is no. First off he is scaled down way too much, he should be 3 times the size of Luffy. 2nd the cloak being plastic is terrible. 3rd the arms are ugly, they needed shwding kn the acales and the shoulder only really looks good in a neutral pose. 4th issue is the lack of a stand that can be used to pose him in different positions.
