ZAP Astro Megazord vs Bruno! (Power Rangers In Space)

[@hiEste]

prawnhorn gems cameo lets goooo

[@valen9835]

The original's also less break prone. I've seen a ton of people have broken clips straight out of the box, not even messed with and already broken with Zap Astro, and they didn't fix the hollow rocket boosters, for something people are spending a lot on you'd think Hasbro would've done better.

[@NicholsonStudios]

I loved my Zap Astro Megazord! I love the size and look. So much fun. My #1 ideal Zord would be a 14" Zap Lightspeed rescue megazord, that zord is one of my all time favs in the show, and the toy is great (especially when paired with supetrain) but the small size of that zord always made me wish there was a big one! :)

[@DragoonMS]

That Shodo Super Megasilver, though...sweet mother of Obelisk, Osiris, and Ra...that dull gray is maddening. It's like Bandai Japan took a page from Takara's playbook; the MP18+ version of The Transformers Masterpiece Streak (aka Bluestreak) is slathered top to bottom in that exact shade of gray which replaced the actual silver of the original MP18 version. Like...it's SUPPOSED TO BE SILVER... Yeah, I don't see why Hasbro felt the need to alter the Astro Megazord transformation...especially considering they didn't alter the transformations of the ZAP Dinozords & Dragonzord. But between that and the QC issues I've heard about it, I ain't very hopeful for a Delta Megazord to go with it (or a Astro Delta Megazord combination).

[@jing8927]

PrawnHorn Gem is here as well! Nice going! In fact, it's morphological!

You did help sell me on this Astro Megazord. I wasn't collecting the ZAP line, but seeing this and how much detail they put into it is making me want to at least collect my favorite zords.

[@MMPRtoys]

It's certainly a very cool looking thing, and very shiny. If you like the size, then you'll really like this release. It's a good lookin' Megazord for sure. I wish I could have spent a little more time with it. I totally didn't get my own footage of the two cockpits 😕 We didn't have a chance to eat before the con, and this was towards the end, two more minutes and Mia was going to take a bite out of me! Looks like I didn't totally figure out the arm articulation, and I didn't have the sword, blaster, mini figures, or extra hands. I know more cool poses are possible that I didn't have a chance to get to.

Complex transformation sequence

[@General_Stryfe]

Great little demo for such a odd location!

[@aldolibreri791]

The reason why it’s so big is because of scale. It is the same scale as in the show as the ZAP Dino Megazord and Dragon Zord.

[@MMPRtoys]

I do wish people would stop trying to explain scale to a model railroader. 😕 I let everyone know what Hasbro was doing with scale when the ZAP Megazord was first announced. The Megazord stats are a little known fact that can be found online and some toy boxes. On TV they're suit actors who are all the same size. Nearly every Megazord is exactly the same size, with a few exceptions where they made an effort to show a drastic size difference (Serpentera, Pyramidas, Super Train, Delta Command, etc). As a toy, it's large. Maybe that's fine, but it's quite a size difference. Regardless of box stats it's hard to accept Astro Meg is really that much larger. There are things I like about that particular release at that size, but I also hope Hasbro thought ahead. If they're really sticking to 1:144 scale, well, Serpentera would be taller than me. There would be a number or enormous Zords, and adult collectors already have pretty full shelves these days.

[@aldolibreri791]

@@MMPRtoys I figured it the original post was more for other people who viewed this video and weren’t aware it f that fact. I completely agree btw. I don’t like how big it is either. Would have been nice if it was the same size as the original toy and was much cheaper imo. But I’m also one who doesn’t care for the smaller ranger figures either. I just want a fun megazord I can mess around with.

[@appletherapy]

@@aldolibreri791so this one is more correct to the original show version? I have the classic figure so it's kinda trippy

[@CosmicRejectsVideo]

Now, THAT, is a $200 toy. If ZAP goes in this direction, they'll be worth it. I will pick one up. So, impressed with this toy unlike the MMPR Megazord and, Dragonzord which were an $80 value toys, sold at $200.

[@Aidenn23]

I moved at the end of June and was trying to put this thing back in the box, and let me tell you, this is way more impressive than what I went through, lol. I had to watch a few astro megazord unboxing videos to figure out how the hell to revert back to the megaship.

[@MMPRtoys]

This is normally something I'm pretty good with... but this gave me some trouble. The side I started with really didn't seem like that part of the leg could twist. Eventually I realized the other side could, so they'd both have to, and then forced it. Then it went. I already knew people had issues with clips breaking so I was really trying to be careful.

[@mariosion]

Haha, I’m actually all for larger size mecha, and apparently the larger size is because they’re going by the actual scale set by Super Sentai’s official stats/concepts, making Galaxy Mega bigger than Daizyujin. Officially according to RangerWiki, Galaxy Mega is 55m tall while Daizyujin is only 41.5m tall.

[@MMPRtoys]

Yeah, I covered the scale pretty well in past videos. I'm a model railroader, I appreciate the scale... but really, on TV the Megazords are all the same size, usually. Sometimes they made certain Zords appear much bigger, but they were almost all guys in suits around the same height, so it's hard to see Megazord & Astro being so different in size. Yeah, you really have to find those stats things to even know that, you wouldn't get it from watching the show. I would rather they were closer in scale, but at the same time it's kinda cool at that size too. I don't know. Had the original been that big I don't think I'd be able to have it on my current display shelf. I think it would be too big.

[@KHFMcAwesome]

Darn, wish I could have been there to help. I’m a Transformers fan too so I might have been able to look at things from that perspective. Only problem is the several thousand miles of ocean between us! Really fun video as always guys! Always brightens my day seeing new Bruno and Mia stuff 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

[@maybetoby]

I always use instructions when transforming, i don't wanna break my stuff lol Hope ZAP does a Turbo Megazord and Mega Voyager. Legacy Ninja Megazord was pretty much perfect, so the only thing ZAP could do to make it better would be to add more articulation.

[@DanteSolablood]

Size wise, aren't ZAP zords meant to be 1/144 scale? If so, the Megaship did have to be that size.. the scale is why I picked up ZAP Dragonzord. Its the same scale as my Gundam & displays well with the..

[@skyfire001]

For me I wish the ZAP line had a set size that way all the Megazords can be displayed together a look good standing shoulder to shoulder. Like the suits ripped from the show and shrunk down. Think Gokaiger Battle of 199 Heroes

[@datboi9539]

They need to release ALL the In Space zords in this way.

It’s okay Bruno, I couldn’t afford the Astro megazord either ( still can’t but I’m ok with that plus I don’t have shelf space ) glad you had a fun time at ranger station, ( plus got some great costumes in the background of your video) ps next time you play around with the Astro megazord have Chris help you that’s probably why hasbro Bruno proofed it

[@MMPRtoys]

Well, a little more of a problem when it's our job to make videos about these things, and we can't pay for the products people come to us to see reviews for.

[@moseskuria1234]

[@K_Zimm]

The size is a bit of a no win situation. If they stick with the scale, it has to be that huge going off the official heights. If they stick with the height of the Dino Megazord, they have to abandon sticking to 1:144 scale. For the Dino Megazord it worked out great since it was just about at 1:144 scale already. Most megazord's offical heights are actually closer to the Astro, so if they continue the line and keep the scale, they're all going to be these big, huge things and the Dino Megazord will be the small one in comparison.

[@D.E.S_CT]

The legs do get easier to move over time. Also the zap line is going for 1/144 model scale which is why astro is so gigantic in comparison. If they continue the scale lots of megazords in the future will be this size or bigger

[@MMPRtoys]

I know all about scale as a lifelong model railroader (plus Hasbro made a big deal about that and it says in the listing I've linked below). But still, it's weird seeing Astro so huge when the main Megazords are generally similar in size in the toy line, and on TV they're suit actors, so, regardless of mode, the Zords are generally all the same size on TV. It's only if you're able to find those stats that you see how big they should be. If that's the size of Astro Megazord, I imagine you'll be able to have Pyramidas double as a storage closet, should they get to him. I'd rather the Zords were a little smaller, especially if they're doing a lot of them. Helmets, weapons, large Zords, tons of figures, people will run out of room real fast. Having said that, I also think it looks good in that size, its a pretty impressive looking thing.

[@D.E.S_CT]

@@MMPRtoys I completely understand the preference in smaller Megazords especially when it comes to space for everything from helmets figures etc. I'm a collector myself and can totally appreciate that take as space is scarce. I do enjoy though Astro being big as he is do It gives off a nostalgia vibe of like getting it as a kid and how the Megazords felt so much bigger.. Also I'm a bit of a sucker for stuff in the 1/144 or 1/100 scale as I'm a avid Gunpla builder and Having a Megazord in those scales really appeals to me in that aspect.

[@DesignIncase]

Oh man that was all well worth the chuckle. Yeah that hip is a little tricky because you don't expect it an it doesn't look incorrect even though it makes sense it has to turn. I love the large size. It's very impressive. Of course I own the Haslab Galactus. My sense of scale has been changed. Still the reasoning for making it so big I think is the wrong approach. Build quality - For me nothing's broken on it. My first ZAP megazord the Trex broke at the ab crunch. My replacement couldn't crunch and I didn't even bother trying to fix that. I think ZAP Astro Megazord is much better. On one hand all the exposed screws feels like a step back but also I like to be able to get into it if I need to. I think I might print out some caps for it. The clips though I feel should have been left in the past or replaced with more durable metal clips. Those parts all broke on me for the Bandai zord. I do agree that there are some things about the Minipla that I think could have been used for this big guy.

On a side note are those Shoto figures really small? For that price with all the accessories and the whole team I imagine they cant be Lightning Collection size

[@MMPRtoys]

For many years I bought everything whether I wanted it or not. It was for the channel. People asked us for reviews, and we did 'em. Our viewership has gotten so low we can't afford to run the channel now. That's why lately I've been reviewing toys at cons, Target, and posting compilation videos of past work we've done. This unique, creative and insanely labor-intensive 16-year-old channel costs us many thousands of dollars to run, and we rely on viewers showing up to be able to keep up with the demand. That's why I've been giving so many calls to action lately, from watching videos for free to tipping to joining us on Patreon. We might not make it to the end of the year if things don't start to improve. We've got all of the same expenses as a normal toy reviewer, and then we run the channel as a film/animation studio, and the cost is... well... no longer sustainable, to say the least.😕
