Amazing Yamaguchi Batman Kaiyodo Revoltech DC Action Figure Review

[@chuchay21]

the cloth cape makes this figure 10x better for me. I actually wouldnt mind this on my general dc shelf, its not as exaggerated as the other figures.

[@TheFwoosh]

Yeah, almost a different style from the rest of the line.

[@theonionfromshrek340]

@@TheFwoosh this would make a good flash point custom

[@thatonechristian2487]

The Fwoosh, I just need to know where I can get a cape like this before I get the figure. Lol

[@illmanneredgentlemen4295]

People say "this line is bad because the joints stick out!" But I think they fail to understand that joints not being shown often is a limitation on figures and that's why I love this line is because if u want the most comic of comic poses this is the figures u want.

[@MOCmakerMAX]

That wired cape looks hella awesome on this figure! I agree with you on the revoltech capes, just odd configurations. P.S. the Gus segments get me everytime lol

[@theepoopydoodoo]

Shartimus has BTLD Spidey. Robo has Gus. Only the best reviewers have mascots

[@decorumnation4340]

YES the heavy guitar riff is back to differentiate the review videos from his other videos, life is good again!

Wait for the bootleg

The bootleg wolverine I got is awesome came with 2 right hands for extras but still awesome

[@PoilishedMahogony]

the art on the inlay: Dc Convergence Batman Gotham by Gaslight vs. the Shazam family, that middle frame is from new 52 justice league, and on the left is batman hush.

[@alch7539]

I love those interactions between different figures and Guz, it's what I live for

[@sportyeight7769]

Am i the only one really liking the cap? For me this line is really focus on posing. No Yamaguchi is in my shelf without a crazy dynamic pose and that's why a buy them. If i want a classic batman with a "clean" look I'll take a mafex or s.h figuarts or a horrible dc matel figure.

[@TheFwoosh]

But the cape has nothing to do with wanting a Batman that can do crazy poses. I do the same with all of my Yamaguchi figures. It's more about the frustration of having another figure on the back of the figure you want. I have Batman crouched down and perched like no other Batman on my shelf can even do, and it's complemented by the cloth cape, not a cape that will take up half the shelf just trying to lie right. That's not me taking away from you liking the cape though, I'm glad you do.

[@td19589]

Robo, fantastic review! What I like the most about your review is that you showed us the cape, you talked about seeing where it could be cool but at the end of the day admitted you didn't want to use it and didn't like it. Nothing wrong with that at all! Great job.

[@DareDevil19]

Nice review buddy! And man... you should see my comment section cause I ripped on revoltechs cape in my review on this figure lol. Some people love their capes while others don’t, at all. Everyone has their preferences. I swapped mine with a wired cloth cape too and the figure is a zillion times better

[@alexbenedikt]

Heyllo daredevil!!😆😁✌🏽👍🏽

[@DareDevil19]

Alex Benedikt hello

[@DareDevil19]

MutuallySustainedHateBoner Inc lol that’s funny... I don’t recall mentioning that once in my review, that I have capes for sale... 🤔 If you don’t like my content and are annoyed by it, why are you watching it lol it’s simple enough to just not watch, ya know 🤦‍♂️

[@Marcotf86]

I actually like both of your guys second party cape It definitely makes the figure look a lot better

[@DareDevil19]

marco flores definitely!! Makes the figure a zillion times better. Never liked the plastic articulated capes or the rubbery capes, always like a wired cloth cape on a figure

[@mick_hofmeijer]

Robo after just these 2 replaced revoltech capes you have enough revoltech joints to make your own action figures lol Great review as always

[@TheFwoosh]

Bwahaha, I didn't realize that, you're completely right.

[@desdichado3308]

Oh, that cape... thank you for the 2 Queen references within a minute. Love your reviews. Looking forward for this week’s 2 weeklies.

[@TheFwoosh]

That second one was unintentional, but dang did it work out. May not be 2 Weeklys, may be one long one, I've got a lot of stuff written down. Thanks man!

[@jakeroose2689]

Seeing the pics online I thought I'd like the cape BUUUUT after seeing this..... Nope. Still might get it though.

[@Darthbauer951]

Was on the fence till I saw it with the cloth cape. Now I want.

[@okay6109]

Being the massive batman fan I am I need this right now.

[@wendywong6436]

I received mine yesterday, unboxed, and upon assembling the cape, I quickly disassemble & put him back in the box until I got time to either make or buy a cloth cape.

[@TheFwoosh]

Yup, I only messed with it long enough to give some thoughts and to make sure my initial fears were right. They were. Goodbye hell cape.

[@FuzzyVids]

I've been waiting to see this review since this figured was announced. I'm so glad you found a cloth cape. That's exactly the kind of cape I wanted. Now I can buy this figure.

[@DevonPalmer98]

The original cape gives me anxiety you made the right choice

[@MrDoomsdaysReviews]

It’s a good looking figure, thanks for providing the link for the third party cape maker, that makes this decision all the easier.

[@AlkQubit]

Happy to see they didn’t mess up the shoulders like on some of the other. My favorite from the line is Wolverine, but can’t justify the price, would def pick one up on sale.

[@keenanmeyer5511]

I think this might be my first dive into revoltech... this figure looks amazing.

[@ChesapeakeRipper]

I mean Im not a real fan of this line but ill watch your videos because youre an awesome dude who reviews an rambles on about figures, gotta show my support

[@Taipan108]

Yeah man! Your cape makes the figure so so so much better.

[@corgen2062]

the included cape is sculpted to resemble Sharp comic-book line art, I have never seen such a theatrically-striking "Solid-yet-posable" plastic cape. its part of the playability, once you get it into an appreciable pose, you can appreciate it. the way you "connected the dots" didn't give it justice and was in fact awkward, forces you to be more creative then you normally are, its like you said; its kind of a puzzle, it adds playability but some people just want it posed right out of the box, have to respect Yamaguchi, imagine a Spawn figure with this kind of cape? it would be fuckin amazing! also really nice '3rd party' cape, Wired capes should also be more common! but yeah the sculpt on this figure is insanely creative! but the best part for me is actually the cape looking so sharp and menacing, & the way it layers over itself is really fascinating, posable art at its finest!

[@bjpalm1994]

Great review Robo! Yeah the included cape looks like a nightmare. The cloth one looks much better. Glad to see Batman & Pete getting along, lol.

[@TheFwoosh]

Yeah, I heard they ended up beating on the Joker and some Snowtroopers later, it was intense.

[@SandraOrtmann1976]

OMG, when you put on that cloth cape, it was like night and day. With the stock cape, he looked like his cape was completely torn up and made of rugs. Or as if he was trying to use a helicopter. But with that 3rd party cape, he just came to live. And good that he gets on so well with Gus.

[@TheFwoosh]

Yeah, I'll admit to a little frustration with the figure with the original cape, but all of that goes away with the new cape, it's crazy.

[@dj_neogeo]

Love the "Batman is super angry-sad" line lol

[@steveorondinelli4783]

Very nice figure,I'm so glad ur able to switch the frowning face out cause that made up my mind on buying this figure.I just started collecting Revoltech so I picked up Carnage,Venom,Deadpool,Predator & Wolverine so im pretty impressed so far. I just subscribed today! Great video

[@TheFwoosh]

Thanks man, I appreciate that!

[@IceDragonKustoms]

The cloth cape made a huge different in many aspects. Keep on going the reviews Robo.

[@Novapoid]

I really appreciate what Yamaguchi is trying to do with this line and I've been in the comments section eloquently "defending" Venom & Captain America Revos, which are the best releases imo. I even think Spider-Gwen is decent, Deadpool is fine and Magneto can look just like a comic in certain poses...but the thing about this line is that is VERY hit & miss. While I prefer DC over Marvel characters, I freaking hate this Batman...I think the segmentation looks a lot weirder than previous releases, the whole head is weird, the symbol is warped and don't get me started on that cape. However, the promo pics for Deathstroke (a character I don't care for at all) look freaking amazing so it gives me hope that MAYBE a good Flash, Superman or Green Lantern are not impossible. But I think this could've sell a LOT more if it was better executed.

[@TheFwoosh]

It's weird that they almost completely changed the style here, and they keep tweaking articulation.

[@adamfrye3216]

Huge Batman fan (and huge fan of your channel), but idk if I want to risk the many possible injuries with posing that cape! 🤣 Great review, Robo! 👍

[@TheFwoosh]

Haha, yeah, at first I thought it was softer, but those things are sharp!

[@justinreilly6619]

There sure is some nice engineering that has gone into this figure!

Convenient how sharp the included cape, chunks of cape, (whatever they are) are, so when you’re frustrated enough and throw em, they’ll stick in the wall like throwing stars, you get a little satisfaction out of it lol

[@bricksandgames2244]

Great review I have this figure on order and look forward to picking it up. I understand the cape issues , but think you have to accept the style of the figure line when you buy.

Great review as always. I love the professional photos on the box with the cape, they look awesome, but I know that I couldn't be bothered to mess with that thing every time, so I'm with you on the cloth cape. Actually, and maybe it's just the lighting? It's the face that looks off to me, like there's shading on the rest of the figure but the chin/mouth looks one single flesh colour? Maybe the face printing is spoiling me?

Love this huge DC fan and this looks amazing great review wish I could get this figure

[@trtledave3079]

I'll say it for you...that cape is baaaaad! It looks like a Dracula Batman cape or even something for a superhero zombie, it looks even worse than the one that came with Magneto which I wouldn't have thought was even possible.

Great review. Love the line, don’t care for the capes though. Cloth cape looks fantastic.

[@TheFwoosh]

Yeah, that's exactly where I am. Love most of the figures, hate all the capes.

[@Zekzt]

I dont get why they didnt used some great features from previous figures. Floating belt like wolverine one, articulated knee pad, dual ball joint torso like carnage ones. Those are major things i hoped they use on that bats. I mean the new carnage torso was outstanding. Float belt would be so much better. Articulated knee pad could help a lot in posing.

[@TheFwoosh]

Yeah, it's almost like they are trying to reinvent the wheel every time.

[@Zekzt]

I sometimes imagine how awesome Venom could have been if he had this awesome carnage abs joint. I hope mafex Venom will bring ultimate justice to this character. I mean i do like tke kayo venom, but this ab joint is a misunderstanding.

[@nocaster5120]

Love when you review this line, the cloth cape huge upgrade. Nice figure but that knee joint is a big problem.

[@Zekzt]

AY line is awesome for people that like to do some small mods to their figures. For people that want to keep their figure mint, no mods, no small changes - its not so great. For example - i hate those dual ball small joint shoulders, i buy spare revo joints just to switch them whenever i can. for example - Deadpool, Carnage and Spider-Man, you can change the dual shoulder joint for a bigger single ball joint [the medium size one, like the ones in Carnage knee/elbow] and you keep all the articulation plus you get way better esthetics when you pose your figs. Wolverine is the only one that cant get this exact mod due to the fact he have bulkier shoulders but i was still able to get better dual ball joints than the vanilla ones [i got some medium + small dual joints]. Those are small but fun mods to make and gives AY figs awesome new options to better pose them. so for all people that love to mod their figs a lil bit - this is the perfect line =) Here is a small example of a Carnage mods i did : facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1511386139005528&l=e974e1c4fd I switched the shoulder joints for single ball medium size one and switched his feet joints for a slightly more flexible dual disk small black joints [since i dont have those in red, but black still fits in just fine on this one =)]

It's a challenge for the customizers to come with cape that makes the original cape look dull :) Great review as always. I'll keep the current cape for now till I find a perfect replacement. Also I could not get the batman in poses that were advertised. Somehow it was too difficult for me, the joints did not move as expected. May be that's just my figure.

[@TheFwoosh]

Naw, a lot of companies fudge their promo pics a bit. The figure isn't actually completely together for a few shots but posed where you can't see it. I couldn't do the fully crouched pose either.

Hey Robo! Great review as always! I hope you get around to reviewing the Mafex JL Batman and the Tactical Suit Batman.
