Transformers generation one complete star saber review. G1 vintage Japanese victory saber collection

[@ReverendPONT]

I love your knowledge on the Japanese G1. I didn't even know that Star Saber had a base mode and I've had him for going on 3 years lol. Him and Victory Leo are in the top 10 best Japanese G1 figures in my opinion. Thank you for sharing Brutha.

[@ToysareRuss]

thanks bud I know more about the toys than the cartoons. think I might re watch victory over Christmas. as you can appreciate they’re just amazing figures.

[@robotrecruits5257]

Wow! Just wow! I'm loving these videos of the Japanese exclusives so much. Until i started watching your channel, i didn't have much knowledge of them, so its been so fantastic to be introduced to them. Not only do they look super cool im also starting to appreciate their amazing play value! I 100% agree that if we had had these figures the franchise would have totally rejuvenated itself over night!

[@ToysareRuss]

they’ve just got everything, base modes. super modes and they’re all awesome. glad you liked it. I’m going to 100% re do all of my Japanese figure videos again. do them some proper justice. like star convoy. road Caesar, liokaiser etc

[@gtoney]

These are very expensive and hard to come by... just to think you have every version 😂

[@ToysareRuss]

it’s just because I’ve been collecting for so long now. the price of Japanese figures as you’ve said have gone up loads recently.

[@magnumprime]

Awesome! Totally agree if these figures had been pushed over here it might have been a different story! Can't believe how big the combined jet mode is!

[@ToysareRuss]

glad you liked it! I’m sure I’ll have you heading down the Japanese exclusive alley quite soon.

[@magnumprime]

@@ToysareRuss 😂...already been looking!

[@David315842]

That was an excellent video. I had no idea about the two Star Saber variants until this very video, so thank you for pointing that out to us. The little Brainmaster actually has a name, sort of, he's known as Yuki no Brain or Brain of Courage. The jet he combines with is just called Saber (or I guess you can call it the Saber Jet) and of course Star Saber is the robot mode. The large back portion of the jet, which also becomes a base is called the V Star and of course that's what Star Saber combines with to form his Battle Mode. I've seen from TheCollector75's review of Star Saber fro years ago that sometimes the Battle Mode head has trouble keeping itself covering over Star Saber's regular face, though this can be fixed by a attaching a small bit of blutack inside the battle mode face, just to keep it in place (if that happens). That large combined Victory Saber jet and robot modes do look superb and I can easily see why it takes pride of place in your collection. It's ironic that a lot of the main Yuusha/Brave series combiners take up after Star Saber as he was sort of a prototype for how Takara would make them, Star Saber even has similar legs to a Brave combiner. :D Do keep up the good work. :)

[@ToysareRuss]

I was thinking of going it to more detail and mention all their names etc, but chose not to and just talk about the toys. I would say that 90% of my viewers haven’t even seen victory as the amount of questions I’ve been getting about him on my Instagram when i started posting pictures a couple of weeks ago is crazy. so I consciously didn’t want to overload them. I’m thinking of doing a collective autobots from victory video and then going in to details like that. what do you think?

[@David315842]

@@ToysareRuss I would have just included the names of each individual component, but that's just me. :D Yeah if you wanted to do a Victory showcase, that's sounds great. Of course that's entirely up to you. ;)

[@notgray88]

This is my personal transformers holy grail. Wanted one ever since I saw Victory like 5 years ago. Star Saber has a legendary design. The true Ultumate Swordsman.

[@ToysareRuss]

he is a great character and the toy does not disappoint either. really wish this guy would’ve been released worldwide. really happy for the haslab project though

[@transformersukcollector]

Absolutely fantastic, great look at him mate thank you 👏👏

Amazing figure bud. On a different level to most of the hasbro stuff.

Epic review Toys are Russ!!!!!!! :D Star Saber is one of my favorite Transformers characters, I hope we get a modern figure released by Hasbro in the near future. :D Keep on being amazing, Double Thumbs Up. ;D

[@ToysareRuss]

Told you he was brilliant pal. Such a great figure!!

[@TFfangeek]

@@ToysareRuss The closest Transformers figure I have to Star Saber is Energon Wing Saber. :D He is great in the fact that he looks like Star Saber, and is based on him, but his articulation rivals a G2 Transformer. :P :D

[@andrisusilo4673]

Thank you, thank you very much, back then my dad give me this toy and I really2 took care of it, I always put it back in the box after playing with it, it's my most treasured toy but then a relatives son visiting and took interest on it, so may mom just give it to him, last night I just dreaming bout my childhood playing with dad and this toy, when I wake up I still can't remember what's that toy name, and then here I am, it really brings back my lost childhood memories. Thank you so much for making this video

[@ToysareRuss]

Really pleased it brought back nice memories for you.

[@RetroActionUK]

Ah yes I see it. It makes sense to have a base mode because a lot of figures had that at this time. Star Saber is almost like another Powermaster Optimus Prime but just as a jet not a truck with some changes of course as it’s an original character for this toyline, but the transformation of a smaller vehicle fitting into a bigger and folding up Saber to form the chest is very much like Powermaster Prime. Star Saber looks much better though.

[@ToysareRuss]

It is a bit like Pm prime or ginrai but it was very common in japan for their figures to be full playsets.

[@Him22594]

How do you have enough money to not just own one, but THREE!?!?!?

[@ToysareRuss]

When originally purchased these cost less than what leader class figures cost now.

[@harlanPerry]

this is definitely a amazing figure.

[@ToysareRuss]

One of my absolute favourites buddy.

[@RetroActionUK]

This is the big one (this and Overlord!). The Robotmasters version is very cool too and is a lot smaller making it easier to hold etc.

[@ToysareRuss]

This figure is one of the best toys never mind G1 figures ever made. Simply awesome

[@uk_toycollector]

Wow, just wow. I have zero knowledge of this line but I'm gonna do some reading up on the in the coming weeks. Another excellent review Russ well done pal

[@ToysareRuss]

thanks bud, you should also try to watch the Japanese cartoons. the series is called victory. I’ll post you a link on Instagram

[@pancakepower1006]

My copy arrived today, and everything you said is so true. It's truly an amazing figure.

[@ToysareRuss]

Really pleased you have one too!

[@talesofthetoydad897]

How is the plastic quality? Does it have some weight heft?

[@ToysareRuss]

Yeah he’s a huge and robust figure. Loads bigger than the new haslab version of him

[@talesofthetoydad897]

Beautiful figure. I’d love to pick up a reissue if they decide on ever doing it.

[@ToysareRuss]

glad you liked the video. he is a great figure

[@josephmonroy3865]

Just got mine last week. Him and Victory Leo. Did a preliminary inspection and hes all good. Nothing broken or stressed. And so begins my journey into Japanese Continuity G1 Transformers. I have this channel to blame.

[@ToysareRuss]

Oh dear. Sorry about that. But I guarantee you’ll love it.

[@josephmonroy3865]

@ToysareRuss Yeah, it felt pretty good. Gonna mess with it this weekend. Got my eyes set on an overlord and Dai atlas. Not rushing into it. I wanna find them as close to complete as possible because I don't feel like hunting down parts for these tings. Unfortunately, with that comes a price.

[@EmmanuelFilteau]

What a sight, thanks for letting us see it in it's full glory. I would jump on the chance to get one if they weren't so expensive.

[@ToysareRuss]

glad you enjoyed the video, I was fortunate enough to get these years ago, before the price of Japanese toys rocketed up

[@blaster3763]

Toys are Russ. Is there any chance that you could share some HD images of the box art? I have found pictures online, but none of them are in very clear quality, and it seems you have a very nice camera.

[@ToysareRuss]

I can try for you certainly. My Instagram is @toys_areruss If you want to message me. But I can go one better. Type the book legacy in to the search bar on my channel and have a look at that book. It’s literally a book on all the packaging art.
