A Weirdly In-Depth Review of the Demon's Souls Figure | figma Fluted Armor Review

[@ZEROGOkinReviews]

Use code ZEROFIGMA to get 5% off any in stock figma at HLJ: www.hlj.com/search/?MacroType2=figma&Page=1&StockLevel=In%C2%A0Stock& After 200000 years this video is done and out. It was actually done 4 days ago but my appendix exploded right after I uploaded it and I just got out of the hospital yesterday. I do think this video is pretty good but I don't know how people will jive with it. I decided I'd lean more on making the video interesting over forcing in humor at every turn because I do think it incentivizes lazy writing which I wanted to avoid. Humor will always be part of these videos but I just don't want to have to force in boring jokes all the time (sometimes is fine). This is also the first video using my new microphone since miniGOkin videos are completely voiceover and I wanted this to not sound as bad as that Raid ad I did so I bit the bullet and bought a fairly nice microphone. Hopefully it sounds okay but there are unfortunately a lot of problems on my end like it just cuts off sometimes for a while before coming back and the audio is full of annoying clicks that I had to edit out. So why did this take so long? To put this simply the figure was sent to my recording guy who is on the other half of the planet from me at the moment and since he had a lot going on and I wanted this video to have a lot of cool footage it ended being a couple months late. Normally I'd just record the missing stuff myself if footage ends up late but since we don't even live in the same country and I don't have a recording setup here that wasn't an option. I'll try to fix this so at least videos won't take 3 months to come out. Next thing my recording guy is recording will probably be the Flame Toys Arcee, hopefully it won't take 3 months. I'm looking forward to seeing all 3 people who appreciate the Ultraman Nexus joke I put in.

[@foxxy706]

The video is really enjoyable to watch and the editing is great. I love the smooth transitions between game footage and figure, and the armor „rant“ at the beginning

[@pancakeloser]

I appreciate the Ultraman joke. Tbh this video makes me almost want to fall into the figma rabbit hole lol

[@ZEROGOkinReviews]

1/3 two more to go

[@foxxy706]

The transitions from game footage to the footage of the posed figure where great, so flawless ⭐️

[@ZEROGOkinReviews]

I wanted to go even further but I didn't want to put that on my recording guy considering this was already so late

[@foxxy706]

@@ZEROGOkinReviews Understandable, this looks like a a lot of work to get the camera perspective and poses right.

[@zetsuz3828]

Bro just dropped the sickest freakin transition at 5:37 like we would not notice it

[@ZEROGOkinReviews]

I'm glad I came up with that because the original transition there was terrible.

Okay, the Ultraman Nexus joke got me. I was not expecting to see him when the Storm King showed up.

Yeah I was watching Nexus and I saw something that looked like Storm King

[@tobitobi9097]

Missed you man, glad to have you as my background again

[@uhohspaghettios821]

I really like how this review worked out, really good in all departments. Especially since you had the restraint to pace out your jokes and focus on some big editing based ones instead of filling the whole script with them. Also liked the informative aspect, really made it feel better to watch for some reason.

[@ZEROGOkinReviews]

If I'm being honest, I'm actually pretty proud of this one. I don't think this is something I can keep up through all my videos as this one ended being sort of a passion project and I also think there's room for improvement but I definitely learned a lot of good things from this one that should follow through to later projects. As for the pacing of the jokes, I was watching some other youtube channels and it hit me how much the mentality of making everything have to be a joke incentivizes lazy writing. I think if you're doing filler content that's fine but I wanted this to be a bit better than that.

[@uppernimbus]

Sick review, editing on point as well!

[@jinxtheunluckypony]

If he just came with his classic helmet this figure would be perfect.

[@ZEROGOkinReviews]

Idk, the new armor design really clashes with the old helmet. Personally, if this was just the old design it would be perfect.

[@Mare_Man]

The Iron Knuckle alone makes this 10/10

[@ElMutton]

possibly the best and funniest action figure review ever, please do more-!

[@tonyiommisg]

Mine arrives next week. Was surprised by the engineering effort they put into Samus and this so I’m pretty excited!

[@MrPlayer2wo]

These armour sets have been pretty good, anime style or otherwise.

[@nargruthbell3839]

Finally, Gokin video! Wait was worth it for that sweet, sweet unapologetic otaku over-the-top editing style.

[@sumdood4856]

Great to see this video finally come out! Great reminder of what makes your channel fun

[@King_Kaboom]

Woo yeah baby! This is what we've all been waiting for this is what it's all about! Nothing like thinking you're having a stroke when the transition at 5:37 hits. Jokes aside, glad to be seeing from ya again. As for your thoughts on armor, while fantasy can allow for fantastic designs, I think having a general respect for real armors and practicality can elevate a design even more. Those historical armors have stories to them and making an armor that pays some homage to those real life counterparts as well as adding some tasteful fantasy designs on top of it can help to add direction and show intention in designs. Of course, the souls games aren't strangers to less contemporary designs, but I mean there's also magic and demons and the moonlight great sword and the general gothic themeing that helps to make things feel cohesive even if outlandish.

[@ZEROGOkinReviews]

I'm always for rule of cool but I think people just don't know how cool the historical stuff actually is. While I was doing "research" for this video, I couldn't help but awe at how incredible this stuff looks. I love over the top stupid impractical armor designs but if you're going for something more grounded I think it's worth looking into why armor designed the way it was. Not just for realism but also because that kind of stuff can just look cooler.

[@rafifthesecond9023]

Y'know I would've give Figma a chance if they weren't so damn expensive and came with so little accessories. But, Figma does nail its detail and sculpt often, this one being a shining example. I'd get it if its ever on sale (I'm delusional) Sick editing as always an- OH MY GOD IS THAT AN ULTRAMAN REFER-

[@Cutural-memeing]

This might be one of the best your videos! Got a solid gig or two while watching, while the reviwing was on point too!

[@algo6056]

Good to have you back

[@psych0caliptic]

Hooray! Gokin video finally out! Christmas in July! This was an emotional rollercoaster, I got baited so many times. Great joke pacing, and very informative review. Loved how you nerded out about the historical armor but still went "but this does look cool". Stupendous work, doubly so considering the crippled work environment you were in.

[@ZEROGOkinReviews]

Yeah, I do feel kind of dumb simping for historical accuracy when I also love some of the least realistic things imaginable. There's always a balance and while a lot of dumb stuff is really cool I think a lot of people don't know how cool some of the real stuff is.

[@nerosmith2578]

I don't like the remake but this is a nice figure, plate armour that is more on the side of realism is always a treat, kinda surprising they don't make more figures with that element, they could market them to mech and history autists as well, I would love to buy nicely done Italian or German XVth/XVIth century suits even if they are not attached to any franchise. Also I recently got my first Figma; a Goblin Slayer, I'm pretty satisfied, looks great and it's articulated enough to serve as reference for drawings and key frames. Bit lacking in accessories though, not having an option for the red eye brings it down a bit.

[@ZEROGOkinReviews]

I do love German gothic style armor, I think Revoltech made some of those at approximately figma scale for their KT Project line. There's also Coo Model who do like all kinds of armors at 1/6th scale.

[@nerosmith2578]

@@ZEROGOkinReviews Oh, I think I saw pictures of the Revoltech knight with the sallet, It's a long shot to find one but will keep an eye on it. The 1/6th ones are amazing (too pricey though), some blacksmiths make them from scratch with actual metal look up Little French Armory, those are works of art.

[@JamesAndrewA]

Good to see you! I just recently found your vids and though you might have bailed right when I just subbed!

[@perrywindt4683]

I love Dark Souls and I love these reviews. I haven't heard what happened since ZEROGOkin moved to America, but Im happy to see that he's still making content.

[@ZEROGOkinReviews]

I've made a couple videos since I got here but I'm having a lot of problems

[@mayonotes9849]

Okay that Ultraman Nexus (my fav Ultraman) joke was unexpected yet hilarious. It also makes me hope that Bandai will finally make SHF Ultraman Nexus to celebrate the series 20th anniversary.

[@ZEROGOkinReviews]

Should be relatively soon, they're currently on Gaia so they just need to make Cosmos and they'd be on Nexus.

[@mayonotes9849]

@@ZEROGOkinReviews Makes me curious which version they'll make, probably the default Anphans form I assume. I do hope they'll also make Dark Faust and Dark Mephisto too since they're pretty underrated.

[@ZEROGOkinReviews]

I wonder if they'll do Ultraman The Next? That would be cool.

[@mayonotes9849]

@@ZEROGOkinReviews Back then I did doubt that Bandai could do The Next (especially Junis) but with the release of SHF Ultraman Blazar I have hope. The Next Junis is my favourite design compared to all other forms.

[@jetstrike28]

i find it weird that they actively avoided naming the figma by the actual title "the slayer of demons". i guess that would severely confuse kimetsu no yaiba fans and order figma tanjiro instead? i dunno. but it feels weird when i say "yo man did you get the figma fluted armor" and my friends would say "huh is that just figma plus clothes?"

Pretty insteresting the medieval knowledge, maybe you can do more content with that stuff.

Absolutely not. However, if there's an SHF or Alphamax Ultraman Nexus I'd be very interested in reviewing that.

4:30 What’s that Guts? I was going to buy some of these articulated Berserk figures, first I had the BANDAI SPIRITS Guts & Griffith ordered, then ThreeZero brought out there’s that looked much better, but double the cost. So then I just cancelled my order to decide what to do & then forgot about them haha.

I think the Threezero ones are better but they also have issues. There isn't really an articulated guts figure that I can look at and say "hell yeah".

Confirmation that ZEROGOkin is a LARPER. Thanks for the vid and insight into Armor.

[@ZEROGOkinReviews]

Nah, most larpers will completely simp for historical accuracy in a way that feels kinda cringe. I love how cool the actual stuff is but I also love the really impractical stuff from media.

[@ThePrimaFacie]

@@ZEROGOkinReviews I wanted to be a blacksmith a long time ago. In some of the helmets you where showing there where some pieces that I wanted to take a file to but who knows how much they have faced. Might have been "fixed up" before they got to where they are now.

[@ZEROGOkinReviews]

Most of the stuff I used was from the Met's collection since it's all public domain. Judging by the wear on them I wouldn't be surprised if most of the stuff they have on display didn't see much actual use.

This figure looks so amazing man. I just can’t justify that price, especially after dropping a Hundo on the Hunter.

[@ZEROGOkinReviews]

For most figmas sure, but I feel that this specific figma costs twice as much as the average shf and is actually worth twice as much as the average shf. It is still a lot of money though.

[@ZEROGOkinReviews]

Shin Mazinger gets a lot of flack but for what it is I like it. I found it endlessly charming how they tried to make sense of all the bs from the original but in a way that was also kind of psychotic. Also no I'm not going to review that gunpla I gave it to my recording guy and he said he'd deep fry it but he still hasn't and I personally have no interest in reviewing gunpla.

[@xscaralienx9398]

I wish you touched upon the loose waist joint (that looks like it has been thickened with super glue or any other material) or how weird it is to actually get the shield handles into his hand since it's not a good tight joint they kinda "float" in the hand. But since you dont get to actually touch the toy you review stuff like this escapes you and you let a lot of in-hand experience out of your videos, that's why the reviews always feel incomplete to me

[@ZEROGOkinReviews]

I didn't thicken up the waist and your shield problem is subjective, I can't exactly comment on something I don't think is a problem and It is entirely possible that I just got a really good copy of the figure. I will admit though that currently I can't actually personally handle the figures and that it will affect the review but someone is handling the figure and if there's something wrong with it they will tell me. To begin with I've never been the most critical reviewer and if that's your problem with me then I agree that I'm not the reviewer for you.
