Transformers generation one Liokaiser unboxing & combining review. G1 Japanese victory combiner 1989

In this video I will unbox this amazing Japanese G1 combiner and show you how clever the combination process is.
I’ll show you the entire contents of the box. Then step by step build him up from individual alt modes to the fully combined form of liokaiser.
The individual big reviews will be separately uploaded.

I have always enjoyed the fact that Liokaiser does not rely on spare parts, with the exception of his helmet, and that the combiner hands and feet are integrated into the limb bots. Thank you for sharing this my friend.

[@ToysareRuss]

This is why she’s such a clever combiner bud.

[@stanandcats6459]

Given that Killbison is basically gold plastic,you got some guts to actually made this video.Thank you!

[@ToysareRuss]

Thanks very much. I’ve been on the fence in doing this for ages. Hope I did him some justice

[@Adam_9th_Legions_Son]

Such an amazing figure, when I first saw this fig in a book, I thought meh... now I'm hooked, so good! And the Japanese acing the box and artwork as usual, brilliant!

[@ToysareRuss]

This figure is incredible for its time. So clever the way it all combines together.

[@hobartpaving8986]

Love this combiner (and the mighty Victory, the best part of G1). Only tracked down three-sixths of the Breastforce, but one day… Such a shame the Combiner Wars toy didn’t do it justice. Fingers crossed for a new version from the newly Japan-friendly Hasbro to go with my 3rd party one.

[@ToysareRuss]

You can try www.artfire2000.com for the liokaiser bots. He might have them. Speak to chuck and say I sent you.

@@ToysareRuss I’ll do that after payday, cheers!

[@harlanPerry]

Really cool

Thanks bud.0

[@Gingnirmon]

Killbison should’ve been a different color. Orange would’ve been okay.

[@ToysareRuss]

I think that’s what most people are now thinking.

[@ApeBoosten]

Woah, such a unique way of combining! 😍

[@ToysareRuss]

It’s so clever isnt it?!

[@quadq6598]

G1 Victory all the way. How much was your giftset?? $2K+ ish??

[@ToysareRuss]

That’s what it’s worth now but I got for not even 20% of that. I’ve got every g1 figure ever made, including all Japanese toy lines like victory, zone etc

[@pewpew305]

Man, what I would do for a haslab liokaiser.

[@ToysareRuss]

That would be awesome! Same size as predaking and devastator though! Titan class

[@MrDoddi1984]

Killbison is a shame of how brittle he is cause of the GPS. I have a Monstructor combiner and I will never combine cause of that same condition on one of the limbs.

[@ToysareRuss]

Some copies are fine. My monstructor, skyquake a and black zarak are all ok

[@asterian75]

Find one in this state is awesome, i my case, i needed to complete it, modelising all the breastAnimal, and the two planes nose and print it..... It was a challenge but the result is great.

[@ToysareRuss]

I’m lucky enough to have 2 full boxed sets now and a couple of individual boxed ones as well. So I can do the individual bot videos some justice

[@pvtspoon]

Your box is in better condition & mine is missing the instructions. I’ve never been brave enough to remove Killbison from the foam insert & use a Rescue Force repaint as a stand in.

[@ToysareRuss]

That’s a great idea. I’ve had mine in combined mode for so long and thankfully he’s still ok. Never ever attempted to fold the foot out though.

[@jetguardian4728]

That's the best Decepticon combiner i ever seen.

[@ToysareRuss]

It really is.

[@y-ms8yq]

Why is there another leg part in the box????

[@ToysareRuss]

What do you mean?

[@David315842]

You forgot to mention Jaruga (or Jallguar as the silly TF Wiki put is) when you talked about the six bots individually, but you did mention him later and Sunbow and Marvel ended the American cartoon in 1987, not 86. It's also pronounced lie o kaiser not leo kaiser, confusing I know because Leozack does have his name pronounced as 'leo'. A pity Killbison suffers from gold plastic syndrome, but nobody was aware of how brittle that stuff would become until years later. There was no kibble with the figures, but that means like the Constructicons, they were pretty much stuck being a specific limb or part of the body and nothing else. I'm surprised that you used the figures from this set for the transformation for the most part, I thought you would have either used your figures that you already have for the transformation, but OK. I'm so glad that I wasn't wearing headphones when you blew into the microphone when you did while transforming Gaihawk. :D No, you were right it IS Liokaiser when you stood Raiden next to him. Still, you did well with transforming that guy and he seems like a simple combiner to form for the most part. :) Keep up the good work. :)

[@ToysareRuss]

Thanks as always David

[@David315842]

@@ToysareRuss No problem. :)

[@jaysonlee4394]

Sweet.. definitely the best looking G1 combiners..holds up even today.. great review..thanks Russ..

[@ToysareRuss]

No problem bud. So glad to finally do him some proper justice.

[@gijose83]

Would love to see a deathcobra toy

[@ToysareRuss]

There’s an ironfactory one coming out soon. I have him on pre order at showz

[@GallienusNY]

Very impressive combiner of a figure I’m not familiar with! Thanks for sharing as always and info on this figure(s) 👍🏼

[@ToysareRuss]

No problem, glad you liked to see him. I think he’s fantastic.

[@Zneiero]

This must have cost you at least a thousand, also theres various KOs circulating. As always KOs make vintage G1 buying online a bit irritating

[@ToysareRuss]

I agree with you in the ko making things irritating. I’m lucky enough to have had this for some time now as the prices are scary

[@quadq6598]

Nearer $2k these days for the giftset, the KO's are obvious crap compared to legit

[@KazuyaMithra]

He is up there with Predaking and Raiden as my favorite combiner. I love how all these G1 combiners bring their own unique features and traits, be it Diaclone, Scramble City, Predaking, Liokaiser, etc

[@ToysareRuss]

He really is great. His combining method is genius.

[@jeremysnead9233]

Someone make a 3D printed stand in for gps figure.

[@jeremysnead9233]

A 6 bot combiner wars would have been nice and Road Caesars. Maybe add create new ones? Hasbro does read comments.

[@ToysareRuss]

Good idea

[@jeremysnead9233]

@@ToysareRuss DinoKing, Raiden, LeoKaiser, Devastator and Landcross. I cant think of any others. Scaled to the new Stunticons.

[@bsybilly]

*sigh*.... when will Haslab or MPG will produce a Lio Kaiser....?

[@ToysareRuss]

Hopefully sometime soon

[@RetroActionUK]

One of the greatest combiners but shame about Killbison being made entirely of Gold Plastic. It must be said again though that getting the two jets that form the arms (Guyhawk and Hellbat) as part of the Rescue Force would’ve been great.

[@ToysareRuss]

It is a massive shame, hence why I didn’t even touch the good one. I won’t even fold out the foot on the broken one.

[@pvtspoon]

The box of mine is not as nice as yours & is missing the instructions. I’ve never been brave enough to remove Killbison & use the Rescue Force repaint as a substitute.

[@dukenukem9770]

I finally saw the legendary Liokaiser! I've heard a lot of people talk about this character. Some people think that we'll get an update of him soon. Thanks for posting!

[@ToysareRuss]

This guy is incredible! What did you think of the combining of him?

[@dukenukem9770]

@@ToysareRuss The combination scheme if refreshing unique! Devastator is the only other deviation from the standard combination scheme that I've ever seen. It was really coo to see...

[@MartinCarterProduction]

A great collection. Thansk for showing this beauty

[@ToysareRuss]

No problem. Hope I did him some justice
