Who is Victory Saber? Star Saber + Victory Leo Toy History | Before Haslab | Vintage G1 Transformers

Let's have a look at this rare Japanese only vintage pair of action figures: 1989 Transformers Victory series Star Saber and Victory Leo by Takara! One of the best toys representing the Autobots - Decepticons beware! Hopefully you all enjoy this toy history video!
But first, check out these videos:
Anyway, before Haslab was a thing to bring Victory Saber in the modern line, he was part of the Transformers victory cartoon and toy line. You can enjoy the explanation of him as well as his amazing rivalry with Deathsaurus during the old cartoon days.

Great history video!! Cool characters, and bots.

[@ToyKennections]

Gazz 🤜🤛

[@bobahicks]

I only ever knew this character from the toys. It wasn't until I was an adult that I learned his backstory via a dubbed DVD set of the Japanese series. Great video, very informative 👍

[@ToyKennections]

Those DVDs were indeed awesome. Also glad this video helped

[@JONNYSORENSEN_AU]

Watch the real versions Mark, those dubs are terrible! Watched them a bunch now. Headmasters was my fav, seen it all 3 times now with the subtitles. HENSHIN! HEAD...ON!

[@ReverendPONT]

The original Star Saber and Victory Leo toys are what kicked off my Japanese G1 collection along with my interest in the Japanese cartoons and Manga.

[@ToyKennections]

Awesome to hear.

[@JONNYSORENSEN_AU]

Did you get any of the follow up brave / yuusha toys?

[@ReverendPONT]

​@@JONNYSORENSEN_AUI have some Brave stuff but not too much. I have Red Gun Garry, Brave Police J Decker, Super Build Tiger set and all 4 of the Brave Express Mightgaine Bombers. Would love to finish the Mightgaine line most of all but they're getting hard to find and crazy expensive.

[@TJC-ToyMemories]

As much as I was heavily into Transformers as a kid I didnt get as far as these characters, Season 3 and 4 of the cartoon with the headmasters and targetmasters finishing up with the powermasters, pretenders etc. When the Marvel comic finished in the uk that was it for me

[@ToyKennections]

I heard the UK comic is pretty good and is where the Wreckers truly shine.

[@TJC-ToyMemories]

@@ToyKennections definitely, there were some really good story lines such as the origin of the wreckers and the Autobots big push against the Decepticons on Cybertron. Far too many stories to list

[@JONNYSORENSEN_AU]

​​​@@ToyKennectionsthe uk comics rule. The US headmasters story in toon and comic was fairly awful imo. 😢 just mangled the ideas from the proper Headmasters japanese stories.

[@treasuresfortrigger915]

Great history lesson again Ken, so good for me to get up to speed on these Japanese releases 👍🏽

[@ToyKennections]

And if you see 'em in store where you are, now you know 😎

[@xazylsclubhouse]

Thanks Ken! Great in depth discussion on TFs I know little about

[@ToyKennections]

Always happy to discuss. Thx for joining the premiere!

[@impossiblepie]

I knew nothing of these characters, thanks for the history listen Ken!

[@ToyKennections]

Anytime bud.

[@JONNYSORENSEN_AU]

Onward and upward... to Victory!

[@ToyKennections]

To victory!
