**Me wondering if I should take a diet**

Well, thanks :-/ The extra time was just doing work I'd already done a second time, and it was probably better the first time, since the second I couldn't spend the same amount of time. But... good enough!

MMPRtoys what would you rather get first the thunder megazord or the ninja megazord and falcon megazord

Thank you very much :)

Agreed - if stop motion is not a thing you do regularly it should be, that was damn good.

@@Audiablo Thanks! We have hundreds of videos on this channel featuring stop motion & VFX. It's what we work on every day. Downside being the time involved, so the better videos do take several months to complete. The next animated video is Beast Morphers, which we're hoping to have up this week.

@@MMPRtoys i can't wait for the kirameiger animation i'm sorry if i spelled it wrong

Omg same

They did do that the separate zords are not as powerful as the megazord

@@thegamewin100 well you are right and wrong yes that did happen once or twice but tyrannosaurus was really the only one of the original 5 that fought by himself quite a lot

That's always the case in all Sentai/PR, you rarely get them using the individual mechs to fight monsters. I think Kiramager might be the most involved all the mechs have been in a long time

Can you share me the buying link bro. I need to buy as well

YES! :-D

MMPRtoys did I see the mini pla of daizyujin on the right?

Where...?

MMPRtoys oh never mind I thought there was the minipla but it was a the manual

Jmaster99 Hey isn't the the yugioh 5ds legendary dragon mark !!? :-D

Yes. Yes it XD

Jmaster99 Hay do you play yugioh !? :-)

Jmaster99 you got less than 6 weeks till release date!!!

Yes I do :D

Truthfully one could redo many of the effects from the show if not splice together a ton of the footage much better.

That was actually some of the appeal, at least to me, back then. I saw the show and said, "I can teach myself how to do this!" It was easy to figure how a lot of things were done, but even so, it worked very well on the show and was a lot of fun to watch. I loved the fact that it wasn't all super fancy CG. That just doesn't do it for me like PR did.

MMPRtoys it was the same for me. It was like those old Godzilla movies and ultra man. It was funny to see them fight the monster in those balsa wood sets. Even now in newer seasons, the fact they still resort to people in suits to be the megazords is fun to see.

Nicholas Silva Well of course, the picture quality.

Lincoln Beckett-Scott I think it would be due to the development cost. Yes, we as collectors wouldn't mind the price range and probably in fact prefer it for more posebility, but the main target for these toys are 5-10 year olds. I think they're trying to keep the toys relatively reasonable. As for the Legacy line... you've got me there. I don't understand if the legacy line is aimed at collectors why they wouldn't try harder to give us more posebility than just arm rotations :/

I mean, they do. That's what Chogokin is for. The reason Bandai initially stopped doing it was to cut costs to themselves and the consumer. Chogokin became a premium kind of line. That being said I agree they should keep making these quality level of collector's items ALONGSIDE the Legacy Line.

if they didnt used daicast then it would be a good alternative, and it would be safer, less of a risk of damage if dropped

Every point of articulation and every handpainted item makes the price go up. At some point there is a ceiling that a consumer is willing to pay and the company knows they will make back. If they know the demand is high enough for these premium priced items they'll gladly make more. 300 dollars sounds right for a product like this but I personally can't justify myself spending that much for it.

Each new point of articulation is now a separate mold which hikes up the price. Now personally I think Bandai needs to make things easier on getting these guys. Like purchasing online is much easier for consumers then going to every Toysrus or Target in the area. But the first Legacy megazord I think was just a case of "Would this product even sale". First they did the original all plastic. It was successful and then they made one with more metal diecast parts. Now making a 3rd version could be a hard sale at the moment. Next they made Dragonzord and did some pretty damn fine work with that one. Tigerzord is pretty impressive compared to the original. I wish they'd did more with the legs. Thunder Megazord was a lot of work and I think we start to see some limitations as it's still got some parts to be desired. Their Zord builder parts are a double edged sword. Ninja Megazord is awesome but again tiny little issues(Falcon Zord connection) plague it. Then you start to see why this thing is 300 bucks. I'm hoping future figures are a tad bit easier as the design in general is pretty similar. Now paint job wise I sorta feel they could do a little like the Gundam models. Do just enough for display but then hardcore folk can come in and take it further. Articulation and Joints are really something they need to work on though. Shogun would be very impressive if it had articulation.

Dai Zyujin model at the begining i thougt the figure they used for mmpr

Dai zyujin do you like dragonzord since that is think dragonzord in battle mode in the japanese version

@@nobodybelievesunderscores4122 i like Dragonzord.

Sup SEO Toy Review!

Yo, Wendy!

That's Daizyujin to you bud.

SEO Toy Review you all need to grow up

That's like saying you hate to say it, but this palace is a little nicer than this one bedroom apartment. ;) Huge difference between a $49 and $300 price point. Legacy Meg was fine, but this thing is ridiculously fancy. Probably overkill for someone who isn't a big fan, but for people who are, it's incredible!

thats y i want it. i dont hate the Legacy Megazord but for a "Legacy" brand there couldve been more work to it but it is wat it is & i love my Legacy Megazord but when i saw the Chogokin Megazord i wasnt on the plus side cuz i asked myself "do i REALLY want another Megazord?" especially the price tag but after seeing it in action I REALLY want it now despite the price tag so long as its not above the $300 price tag. Legacy Zord will still have a place in my heart but the Soul of Chogokin will be on my top shelf next to my other MMPR Legacy Toys. now im waiting on the Red PR Movie Helmet & see how that compares to my other Ranger Helmets

MMPRtoys I want to go to your house

here goes again.. I willing to spend $300 to buy this as a "Must buy".. Then my girlfriend is gona be upset at me. hopefully she will not break up with me.. BECAUSE THIS TOY IS AWESOME!!.. I think my jaw dropped 15 mins of your video.

If you have Paypal. You can apply for the bill me later account(installment - 6 months no interest)!

Actually, this SOC Megazord is a Power Ranger release. The box is an has the official Power Rangers logo and aside from the slip cover for the SOC GX 71 Voltron release, this GX-72 Megazord is the first release in the SOC line to feature a box printed in English! I don't have too many SOC toys because of the prices but I just got SOC GX-72 and it is AMAZING! You can see all the work that has gone into this toy. Because of this, like the SOC 71, I can easily see the price of the GX -72 go up. I still have love for my Legacy Megazord though.

Me too!

I always just assumed longer, more show accurate arms for the T-Rex couldn't be possible for the Megazord transformation... but they made it happen!

Me to

Hmm... they got the hands right on the giant vinyl figure.... wonder why they didn't do it here?

I think they went more from the design illustrations by PLEX for the coloration (Tsuyoshi Nonaka and Daishi Kato were both in charge fo this figure, after all), where the hands were the same dark grey as the Mammoth head.

You sure the pig wasn't named "Pig Face?" I vividly remember the Spider being named "Steven." :)

MMPRtoys Hey,you can Look at Google. ,,Search Power Rangers all monsters"(First Link) and there are lists with all monsters and their names,incl.Pictures. Maybe the Website ist wrong,but I don't think so.:) P.s I'm from Germany and don't really know all Names,but I really remember These ones...

*1 year later* ok guys, it’s been about six months since dragon zord, so say hello to the DZ soul of chogokin Titanus!

I very much appreciate this comment

Cool

Me too!

It fought with me until the end! I was up late last night trying to get it done. The export was going to be so long I let it go overnight and got up early today, only to find half the video hadn't exported! I've been a professional editor for almost 20 years. No project has ever given me this much trouble. It must be cursed! Hopefully it'll at least do okay now that it's here?

It came out looking good. In the end, that's the goal right?

What would you rather get first the thunder megazord or the ninja megazord and falcon megazord

"MASTERPIECE COLLECTION" would be a suitable name for this line.

MMPRtoys it already has a name, it's part of the "soul of chogokin" line, not sure why the reviewer never mentioned it once.

MMPRtoys do you think they'll release a Soul Of Chogokin MMPR Dragon Zord & Titanus Zord that is compatible for Ultrazord combining with this Megazord in the future?

i hope they make Goldar and Divatox evil zords and a King mondo figure with moving gears

Thanks! Our entire channel is mostly skits, animations, VFX, and other cool things. Despite the time it takes to do that stuff, a good majority of our videos do have it.

Well said!

What do you mean the release time is wrong? The right time is set by the company, which thinks it's now. :) The price is fine for the people this is aimed it. It's not going to be a mass release at Toys R Us. This is for the very serious collectors that want a crazy fancy thing, and this is it. People paid $300+ for the $49 version when it went out of production. Fans have the money. This is actually worth the price.

MMPRtoys Completely agree. this is phenomenal and definitely worth the price.

Rain Chang it's two different lines. this isn't part of the legacy line.

Wrong timing as in, I wish this was release before legacy Megazord. Before people had spent a fortune on getting the legacy Megazord. I would get this if they didn't release the legacy Megazord back then. Yeah this is only for the die hard fans.

I have a pre-order for this and i'm having second thoughts. While this megazord is great in comparison to its other versions, in comparison to other soul of chogokins, it's a step down. The lack of functional wheels and accessories are a concern, especially since the voltron that came out a few months ago had so much going for it. The video doesn't deserve a thumbs down, but the product as is doesn't quite justify the price tag.

Legacy Megazord was a $29 version that they re-released with nicer paint and die-cast metal (bringing it to $49), but it was just kind of a cool thing for MMPR fans for an anniversary. At the time I don't think Bandai intended to do a whole big thing, but I guess the sales were good. Bandai can't make a $300 Megazord and sell it at TRU. They have more restrictions from retailers. However, Dragonzord & Titanus can stand next to this new thing and not look out of place at all, which is great. Thunder Megazord was $100 less (and it's a bit bigger) but many fans didn't want to pay that much. This is certainly a you-get-what-you-pay-for kinda deal.

Yeah dont get me wrong im content with my 2010 megazord next to legacy dragonzord, legacy thunder etc lol but its great that a "premium" alternative is available now for those who always wanted one.

Bruno, well said. I agree 100%
