Warp-Digivolving Lopmon to Kerpymon Figure Review 【超進化シリーズ ロップモン → ケルビモン】

[@Actar_Raikit]

Wow! Time sure flies, doesn't it? We're already halfway through the month and we only have 6 reviews left to go! Hope you're looking forward to all the Megas and the return of a rather notorious figure to this channel! (^o^)

[@Actar_Raikit]

@KGK Skull Yes, Kerpymon is the US name for Cherubimon, just like how Gallantmon is the US name for Dukemon.

[@Actar_Raikit]

@KGK Skull Personally, I'm still annoyed with Omegamon being changed to Omnimion, seeing that he's supposed to be the counterpart to Alphamon. Though, ironically enough, Kerpymon is far closer to the Japanese pronunciation of the name ケルビモン (KE-RU-BI-MO-N) than Cherubimon. (^.^')

[@TheBasedGodsSon]

@@Actar_Raikit That's actually a beautiful bit of lore there I never pieced together in my head even after knowing the original name for Omegamon. Thanks for sharing bro, Always love your stuff!

[@PhantomDusclops92]

That face... that is clearly Zeno from Dragon Ball Super in his best Kerpymon disguise.

[@BlazeDragonEternal]

Oh good, so I wasn't the only one who thought of Zen'o when I saw that.

[@NobodyBasically]

Damn, I wish I had arrived earlier as that was exactly the first thing I thought of as well. Can't believe Toriyama stole Zeno's design from an old American Digimon toy.

[@EckerKyle]

I saw this comment before I had context but yeah thats Zeno lol

[@matthewkuscienko4616]

Now that you mentioned it, I can't unsee it

[@cut2000trees]

I was about to comment this same thing lmaooo

[@StevenDolce]

Willis: Kokomon. Cherubimon: Willis. Willis.: The virus. It's all gone. Cherubimon: Thank you.

[@StevenDolce]

It would have made sense if they did Lopmon to Antylamon instead since Antylamon was Lopmon's Ultimate level form. Not to mention, Antylamon was one of the 12 Devas.

[@Actar_Raikit]

Oh wait, are you saying it would make sense, or wouldn't make sense?

[@Xeno-The-Wanderer]

looking at the design, the transformation would probably require the legs to be changed to something that splits in half as well as flip down for the long legs to work but the chest panels could just be one solid piece more securely attached and heck, the skin tone of Lopmon and Antyllamon are similar enough that lopmon kibble could be passed off as antyllamon skin. everything else is just a matter of switching parts to ones that are more like Antyllamon but their use and movement is virtually the same

[@Retro_Red]

Yeah I thought because Lopmon Digivolved to Antylamon in Tamers that was what the figure was gonna be for this review

[@Actar_Raikit]

@@Xeno-The-Wanderer Yeah, even the lines on Lopmon's ears end up on the underside of Antylamon's arms, which is accurate to the form.

[@demonking86420]

@@Retro_Red I think it's more for that special where Veemon and Terriermon transform into Magnamon and Gold Rapidmon Also if the figure was a Frontier toy it would definitely be Evil Cherubimon

[@TheRealDustinNunn]

Fun fact: "Captain Marvelous" was one of the original superhero names for Billy Batson (aka Captain Marvel/Shazam).

[@MrDarksol]

So with the exception of the face and the form, Kepymon makes for a good statue. I didn't even know that they made toys for the other characters that were not the 3 main characters so seeing Guardromon, Lopmon and Leomon all get toys is shocking.

[@pale9819]

Cherubimon is my 2nd favorite digimon of all time but I have to say one thing. This Cherubimon is freakin’ Jeff the Killer level creepy!

[@alfianfahmi5430]

Zeno-Sama has invaded the Digital World and manifested into Cherubimon 😂🤣😂🤣👏👏👏

[@boots5304]

I wouldn't be surprised if the choice of Kerpymon Vaccine was to make it look better with the Terriermon toy while still seeming child friendly. It sort of feels like this figure was only made as a companion piece to that one. In spite of that notion. they are both holy grail items for me that I just haven't ever been able to find. I dream of one day getting my hands on this Lopmon!

[@emmaishida4386]

I LOVE THIS FIGURE! Like you, I adore lopmon and Terriermon and the two look great together. Seraphimon tooks good next to Kerpymon. Shame they never made Ophanimon.

[@foxonfirestudies3255]

This one account was my childhood, and I am very glad to see your videos again!

[@KingKyoryu1234]

i have no knowledge of digimon whatsoever, but looking at kerpymons face just reminds me of Lord Zeno from Dragonball Super. Also, love the reviews, Actar. Hope to see more transformers reviews in the future.

[@HORRIOR1]

When the Hell did they start calling Cherubimon Kerpymon? I am pretty sure he was called Cherubimon in Frontier dub.

[@yinyang2820]

Kerpymon is the Japanese name

[@HORRIOR1]

@@yinyang2820 Nope, it is Cherubimon in japanese, the name comes from Cherub. Even the romanization of the name is Kerubimon, not Kerpymon. Only time Kerpymon has been used was in translating version of one of the card games.

[@Actar_Raikit]

@@HORRIOR1 ...and on the toy's packaging, which is what I'm going by. If you skip to the end, I do a bonus unboxing. It's also Kerpymon on the Season 4 packaging as well.

[@wingedswordslayer]

Toy packaging and the NA TCG iirc. The shows themselves used Cherubimon iirc. There's a couple times they go back and forth with names (Omegamon's used in Next Order vs Omnimon in CS, Cherubimon in Story/Dawn and Dusk vs Kerpy in Cyber Sleuth) It happened with G Gundam a couple times too with regards to Bandai NA with MS Saga using Devil Gundam instead of Dark Gundam and Burning instead of God.

[@Actar_Raikit]

@@wingedswordslayer Oh yeah, they did use Kerpymon in Cyber Sleuth too. Guess it's still recognized as the US name in some iterations.

[@razorshark6790]

5:48 Let's kick it u-

[@NobodyBasically]

At the time these figures were made, Ofanimon had only appeared in the TCG so far, so I can understand why they didn't bother making a toy of her. I can also understand them choosing Cherubimon Virtue over Vice specifically because this was meant to be Shaochung/Suzie's partner (the one in Battle Spirit is Wallace's) and they didn't want to associate the evil form with her, but it definitely would have made more sense to use Andiramon.

[@jjrambles683]

I remember seeing this figure for it's rerelease during Frontier and assumed it was made for that season

Actar do you just change the filter color in edit or did bandai release all the different colors of the D-Ark

[@LaneyNo9]

I didn't know this figure even existed! If I did, I would have picked it up immediately following the film's release!

[@justicefall6300]

Kerpymon is very creepy, but the cute type of creepy.

[@DigiWarriorCallum]

It's cool how you have a D-Arc in every character color!

[@Asaylum117]

I always forget Lopmon's name & existence, because I am more familiar with Terriermon. Its been a while since I watched Digimon Tamers & I know Lopmon does make an appearance in Frontier as well.

[@RaiwashiSP]

He also appears in the currently airing Digimon Adventure Reboot

[@luisenriquejustiniano2122]

Is there any chance you would sell this figure?

[@kalobhunt9001]

What I never understand about these and power ranger figures is why no articulation?? I collect transformers and the stuff they do with them why cant these also give some articulated figures? I know these are older figures but even the newer power ranger and digimon stuff is un articulated and there other mode is on there back. Idk either way they are cool just a question I have.

[@joeyjjmoore]

I never found Kerpymon creepy until the virus/vice version. Also didn't know their name until I played Battle Spirits 2 game. Also had no clue they were in Tamers until a month ago.

man i want this figure so bad, but like you said, all the ones for sale have the panels missing ;;

[@doraemon61377]

Kerpymon is so op, able to fight both unity evolutions as well as golden armor digivolutions at the same time.

[@StevenDolce]

Who's next? Cyberdramon to Justimon?

[@Ogrimmygrimgrim]

Why does Lopmon become a mega instead of matrix like the rest?

[@matthewkuscienko4616]

To be entirely fair, Lopmon never did have a champion level that was seen in the anime. As I recall, they only ever showed her in Lopmon and Antylamon, and never showed any of her other digivolutions.

[@endymionisrafieldeios7362]

So we have Seraphimon and Cherubimon. I wonder when we will get Ophanimon.

[@Ashurman666]

He says they never made one, not from this line at least so...

[@endymionisrafieldeios7362]

@@Ashurman666 Yes, how unfortunate.

[@MidoriNatsume]

Honestly, for most Digimon name changes, but the only "Omni" I wanna ear in this channel is a surprise review of an Omnitrix toy from Ben 10. If you know what I mean.

[@matthewkuscienko4616]

I never had any clue this figure existed, it must be pretty rare. That being said, I would've thought that this figure would go from Lopmon into Antylamon instead of Kerpymon, if only because that was the form she became in the Tamers series.

[@Nagatem]

Honestly I’m surprised they didn’t make a virus repaint for season 4

[@AmberLB93]

The pieces probably go missing because when kids get transforming toys, they don't like kibble and might try ripping it off. I was one of those kids who wound up with a lot of eviscerated transformers that I decided I only liked in one mode. :(

[@xx_shelby_the_weirdo_xx5564]

In English version digimon frontier he's called cherubimon i know cuz i watched digimon frontier on hulu

The original English localized name is Kerpymon, as clearly written on the toy packaging. They changed it to the Japanese one in the Frontier dub. As someone else pointed out, it's still Kerpymon in the English localization of Cyber Sleuth.

you think virus kerpymon is less creepy?

[@Actar_Raikit]

Indeed, I do. At least with the Virus one, there's like a certain coolness and menacing to offset the creepy.

[@matthewkuscienko4616]

@@Actar_Raikit Or it could also be argued that the creepiness is part of what makes it cool. Virus type Digimon typically tend to be evil, after all (granted there are certain exceptions, most notably Guilmon). To me, at least, I personally find the virus type Digimon to be cooler if they more readily embrace their more evil nature

Cherubimon in US dub

[@aleczhor1479]

Kerpymon is also known as cherubimon if she's good.

[@Alphion]

Ngl i woulda expected the figure to be antylamon instead of kerpymon. But actually good looking all the same.

[@gungnir-tempezuki6650]

Wasn’t Lopmon female? Or is this a Yellow ranger/Tigerranger gender swap thing?

[@Actar_Raikit]

Yup. Like how they made Airazor from Beast Wars male in the Japanese dub, they made Lopmon female in the US dub. I grew up with the original Japanese version, so everything is based on that aside from the names, which I'm making an exception as I'm talking about the US figures.

[@Actar_Raikit]

If you want more background info: "In the original Japanese version, Lopmon and all its evolutions are male. The reason it was written as female in the American dub was that it was difficult for the translators to discern Lopmon's intended gender due to its dialect. In the Japanese version of Digimon Tamers, Antylamon (and its Rookie form, Lopmon) speaks with an antiquated dialect which uses gender-neutral pronouns, leaving viewers unable to discern if it was male or female (the American dubbers having leaning towards the latter as a result of its female voice actress, however many of the male humans and Digimon are voiced by females in the Japanese version) until a much later Japanese episode, when its partner, Suzie, referred to it as male and tried to encourage it to use the more modern personal male pronoun, 'boku'."

[@DetectiveBarricade]

@@Actar_Raikit Then again, maybe the American dub made Lopmon's line female because they looked ahead and saw it would become Suzie's partner?

[@JeiHeirumaru]

Bet me to it lol I wanted to know if Lopmon was a girl, too
