Review: Super Mini-Pla Gridman the Hyper Agent Set

Billy "TaJa" Doyle

It is time to “Access Flash!” with Bandai’s Super Mini-Pla release for Tsuburaya Productions’ Gridman the Hyper Agent! However, North American fans should recognize the character due to DIC Entertainment’s adaptation as Superhuman Samurai Syber-Squad. Now, the Super Mini-Pla set encompasses our hero Gridman alongside his support vehicles: Thunder Jet, Twin Driller and God Tank. With the inclusion of the support vehicles they can combine together to form the support mecha, God Zenon, or with Gridman to become Thunder Gridman. Furthermore, Gridman features optional parts for display purposes like additional…

Review: S.H.Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Wizard Flame Style

Billy "TaJa" Doyle

Tamashii Nations has chosen to “Shabadoobi Touch Henshin” Kamen Rider Wizard into the S.H.Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou series! With Kamen Rider Wizard Flame Style receiving Shinkocchou Seihou treatment the original becomes obsolete. Luckily that is a good thing too, since the original S.H.Figuarts Kamen Rider Wizard is not good representation of the character. Yet, even with this vast improvement the Shinkocchou Seihou does feature minor flaws within its sculpt and accessories. However, those flaws are more apparent within the actual video… Please favorite, like, comment and subscribe to my channel! Like…

Marvel Legends 2018 in Review: A Lot of Product and a lot of Love

Michael Lederhos

Here we are at the end of 2018, its had its ups and downs as the days passed but one of those ups was the Marvel Legends 2018 lineup. This year saw the line expand and Hasbro managed to release 130 figures across build-a-figure waves, multipacks and more. This is the biggest year in the line’s history and I want to highlight it today. In this video, I am looking over the line in general with a focus on the 80 figures that I purchased myself. So without further ado,…

Review: S.H.Figuarts Ultraman X & Gomora Armor Set

Billy "TaJa" Doyle

Tamashii Nations has added the titular Ultraman from the 27th Ultra series, Ultraman X, to their S.H.Figuarts line! In addition, to making S.H.Figuarts Ultraman X, the figure comes with the Gomora Armor, as seen in the series. Now, the addition of the Gomora Armor is expected, since the armor concept was part of the series theme and tied to the year’s collectible gimmick. Furthermore, having the figure and armor together is nearly essential since it was not just the first used, but the main one due Daichi’s connection to the…

Review: Super Mini-Pla Ninja Gattai Muteki Shogun/ Shogun Megazord

Billy "TaJa" Doyle

Whether it is “Hidden Style: Giant Beast General Jutsu!” or “We need Shogunzord power now!” this Super Mini-Pla set is bound to deliver! First off, the box is based on the original Deluxe Muteki Shogun, so it gives off a nostalgic vibe. The build while not shown is actually very tedious and annoying, but somehow I found it enjoyable too. Now, once constructed the Giant General Beasts feature several points of articulation and have their signature weapons. Whereas, when combine as Muteki Shogun/ the Shogun Megazord it is stands magnificently,…

Review: S.H.MonsterArts Godzilla (1964) Emergence Version

Billy "TaJa" Doyle

I finally managed to purchase the S.H.MonsterArts Godzilla (1964): The Emergence of Godzilla Version, while I attended Power Morphicon 2018. Now, this the 2015 Premium Bandai repaint/ reissue of the 2013 release, S.H.MonsterArts Godzilla (1964) as seen in Mothra vs. Godzilla. This repaint specifically depicts Godzilla’s first appearance in the film, erupting from the beach side area thus the name Emergence Ver. However, the dirt and sand stuck to the MosuGoji suit for most of the production. In addition, this repaint/ reissue includes a Tamashii Effect piece to recreate Godzilla’s…

Review: Shuriken Sentai Ninninger Role-Play & Mecha

Michael Lederhos

Hello Hero Club, Soundout here with a review on the majority of the toyline for Shuriken Sentai Ninninger. In this four part review, I take a look at the transformation items, a selection of the weapons, and the entire Otomonin mecha line! Released throughout 2015, Shuriken Sentai Ninninger’s toyline had a mixed reception from long time fans and overall sales were down from previous years. With that being said, are these bad toys? Personally I do not think the entire line is bad, but there are some weird kinks that…

Billy "TaJa" Doyle

It is time for us to revisit Bandai’s Mini-Pla series for Kaito Sentai Lupinranger VS Keisatsu Sentai Patranger! This time we will be looking at the X Train VS Vehicles used by Noel Takao otherwise known as Lupin X/ Patren X. Now, the X Trains come together to form Noel’s X Emperor Slash/ X Emperor Gunner, and combine with the other VS Vehicles to form Good Cool Kaiser VSX. In addition, X Train Fire and Lightening can serve as auxiliary limbs for either Lupin Kaiser or Pat Kaiser. The set…

Review: S.H.Figuarts Kamen Rider Cross-Z Charge

Billy "TaJa" Doyle

Tamashii Nations got charged up when they decided to release S.H.Figuarts Kamen Rider Cross-Z Charge at retail! Now, for those not aware, this is the first and only retail S.H.Figuarts figure based on Kamen Rider Cross-Z, or any of his other forms. It is a rather shocking release too, since fans have not entirely loved Kamen Rider Cross-Z Charge’s design. The idea of the form was an attempt to recapture the craze Toei and Bandai obtained during Kamen Rider Gaim when promoting Shin Zangetsu and the Genesis Driver. However, in…

Trendmasters Godzilla Attacks NY Giant Playset Demo

Billy "TaJa" Doyle

We return to that city full of destruction, with a monster is to blame… Godzilla: King of the Monsters!   Four years ago I, Billy “TaJa” Dolye a.k.a. Wheelchair21, reviewed this playset on my YouTube channel. Whereas, the video was shared here on Hero Club, back in December 2017 on its third anniversary being published onto YouTube; where since then, the video has become my most seen video. Now, in that review I mention how I would do a demonstration video focusing on what are good collectible figures to display…
