Shin Universe Robot by Bandai Review

[@MonsterIslandBuddies]

Yes, this toy is available for less money on site's like Buyee. I downright SHOWED the cheaper prices in this video lol. I also said it's a rip-off at $100. Thankfully a lot of you caught that. I harped on the BBTS price point because it's more insulting, and it's the price that's more accessible to average Americans. And it's just funnier. I don't think you should buy this figure at Japanese retail price either; I still think it's a massive rip-off. It's just not a premium toy. Show me a site selling it for $50 and THEN I'll give you the high five

[@ObsessiveGeek]

Well appreciate you taking such a hit just for the lolz. Hope you get plenty of use outta this monstrosity!

[@rebeccachambers4701]

japans pricing is that the bigger the name attached the more it will cost this has like 5 names attaached so not surpsing its so much you should be happy its not more

[@nickvang7]

​@rebeccachambers4701 If those big names make more crap like this they'll end up becoming small names in the long run. It's not worth the $300 even if the Queen of England wrote her name on it.

Do we actually get 2000 yen free on buyee

[@ObsessiveGeek]

@@ritabarrett-v3t yes. It’s only $12

[@brevin630]

The fact they made a Super Sentai robo-esque suit for JUST that commercial feels so weird. Like, THIS is Anno's interpretation of the Super Sentai universe, instead of making a Shin Goranger or something like that.

An Anno directed Sentai? Now that’s something I’d wanna see!

[@DarkOverlord96]

I'm guessing the absurdly high price is probably because of the 4 different licenses being crammed into a single prodcut? That's like the *ONLY* explanation I can think of.

[@OtakuUnitedStudio]

Nope. Bandai fully owns two of them (Ultraman and Evangelion) while they partially own a third (Kamen Rider). They only pay licensing for Godzilla, which I suspect they pay a percentage of their profits for rather than a yearly flat rate.

[@brycevo]

That's $75 for each license at this point

[@omarreyes7626]

or $75 for each figure...meaning that "happy meal toy" size kamen rider essentially costs $75 bucks.

[@crimsondynamo615]

Over $300 for what is basically a Godzilla megazord? No, thank you! Saying that it's too rich for my blood would be an understatement.

You can buy a Super Robot Chogokin for that, I let that sink in, and it hurts my bones

This shouldn't have been over $300. I feel like the $20-$30 range is a better price range.

I have that kind of money but I'm not paying for that

[@andyroughcut4521]

To be honest I would pay £/$20 tops for that EVA-01 figure.

That should be the price of everything honestly

[@AlwaysADekaranger]

Same and I kinda wished

[@mightyfilm]

I've seen premium collectors' action figures the size of old G.I. Joes go for 20 bucks at least. And they're not even on the secondary market yet. I've no doubt that a premium geek toy like this could go for something that ridiculously overpriced.

If your pay near $400 it should be like the bulk megazord toys like like the supertrain from lightspeed, not some light SH figure art

[@panduallen6712]

The detail on Goji is sooo smooth, it makes wave 1 Super7 Godzilla Ultimates' details looks sharp. I think Jobby phrased it well, looks like a happy meal toy. This probably better off as a candy toy instead. Definitely would be faaar cheaper than it is. This guy's price makes SHMA seems cheap and 100% worth it

[@Zeldafan-fp3uu]

Considering the Eva is piloted and that the pilots feel everything the robot does I imagine poor shinji must be hurting like hell after that transformation same with ultra man and actually everyone this transformation looks like it would hurt if you consider the context of each of them transforming with their in universe rules

I remember having BBTS ads for this thing shoved in my face a couple of months ago. I clicked one out of the sheer ridiculousness and immediately nope'd out when I saw that $344 price tag. I figured a certain JTH to review this way before you would. But thanks for taking the hit. Now I know that I made the right choice by not ordering this monstrosity, as tempting as owning a combining godzilla, Eva, Kamen Rider gestalt is.

[@OtakuUnitedStudio]

If you DO want to get it, you can find Japanese sellers on other sites who have it for as low as $130 plus shipping. Still too much for me, but closer to what it actually sells for in Japan.

I would love to see a review on the Godzilla X Kong line, and/or the 2014 Godzilla line. A Pacific Rim review by Orga would be pretty cool too. Love your videos MIB! Keep up the awesome work.

[@TheTyrann1992]

Super entertaining video. I just find the idea too brilliant. I'm also a fan of all series. I bought Robo on Amazon and paid almost 200 euros (approx. 215 USD) for all of them. I think that's completely fine. At least you get four figures. Of course you have to come to terms with compromises

[@MonsterIslandBuddies]

I’d feel better if the pieces had SOME diecast. The fact that it’s all plastic is screaming cheap to me

[@TheTyrann1992]

@@MonsterIslandBuddies BigBadToyStore sells the Robo completely overpriced. I pre-ordered it on Amazon at the time for a list price of 23100 yen (153.49 USD). Then there was the postage and tax to Germany and that was about 200 euros. I can understand your criticism very much, especially given the price you paid. Personally, I would have liked an atomic breathing effect for Shin Godzilla to recreate the Super Attack at the end of the commercial.

[@MonsterIslandBuddies]

As I said in vid, I’d still feel ripped off at over $50. So yeah… rip off in Japan, astronomical rip off in US. This is not a premium product.

I'd love to see you do a video of the McDonalds X Godzilla Bearbricks, but I don't think there's much to discus there. Looks like something that you have to keep in the package for the novelty, and removing them is just like having a set of mismatched loose figures anyway.

Both Evan gelion and Ultraman genuinely look like toys you would see in the background child's playroom in a 80s movie. Just some sloppy paint and cheap plastic will finish the look.

[@andrewtaylor940]

The Kamen rider perched on the head seemingly driving the Robot might be a Mazinger Easter egg of some sort.

[@OtakuUnitedStudio]

I see a lot of people saying this should be $20 to $30 but that is entirely unrealistic given how the toy market currently is. That said, I really think it should be closer to the 50 - 60 price range. Part of the reason the price is so absurd is BBTS's markup, which is usually double what it costs in Japan if not more. In this case, it sells in Japan for the equivalent of around $150 - which is still twice as much as it probably should be - but that's down to exploiting otaku for big profit.

[@MonsterIslandBuddies]

Agree on that price point as I said in vid… Still a rip off at Japanese retail. BBTS price is so absurd the government should get involved.

[@OtakuUnitedStudio]

@@MonsterIslandBuddies I personally haven't bought anything from BBTS in a long time because I've found eBay is often a better source for getting stuff at better prices. Although that does leave you up to the whims of fate as to whether you'll actually find it.

Weird how they have a bunch of characters that are somewhat robots and cyborgs than a scary and traumatic demon that is shin goji. I feel like a new character should be made like a SHIN mecha goji, but i would like Shin kiryu more.

[@erykbubson6145]

Here's why the figure is actually UNDERPRICED: We start with Ultraman and the Evangelion which would at most cost 25 dollars each We're at 50 dollars Kamen Rider would be 5 dollars and Shin Godzilla would be 10 dollars We're at 65 dollars The mad transformation itself adds on another 20 dollars 85 dollars The idea of the cool sword is another 10 dollars 95 dollars The ad adds another 5 dollars on 100 dollars The cardboard box adds on another 5 dollars 105 dollars The sick box art adds on atleast 50 dollars. You should pay 5 dollars for each time you look at it 155 dollars And then the last thing is the amount of drugs that it took to come up with this insane batshit idea. The drugs were worth 15,000 dollars altogether and we will divide that by 6 which is the amount of people who will ever buy this. So that's another 2500 dollars 2655 dollars And of course we have to round that up to the nearest 9.99 2659.99 dollars So it's underpriced
