hello everyone this is the lego ninjago kilo vs. samurai x set for the sons of
Garmadon season i must warn you that later in the video there will definitely
be a spoiler because this set will reveal its not shown right now but it
will reveal the confirmed actual identity of the new samurai X so I'll
give you another warning before I do that and it will be saved for basically
the end of the proper review section but just let that be known it's gonna happen
I'll give you one more warning but let's get into the review now first things
first kilos bike here is enormous it's the biggest bike that I've ever seen in
a minifig scaled set obviously it's made for a big fig but just for the sake of
comparison here's mr. E's bike from the same season the same series and I mean
this is with it even closer closer to you closer to the camera but just kind
of lining up let me just line up the rear tire the back of the rear tire I
mean this is a significant difference and this is already a very large bike
right so you know the size of this is quite quite shocking it could be seen as
as a good thing or just a plain surprise that is a circular saw blade huge
circular saw blade used for the front tire that actually doesn't work very
well especially on hard surfaces it'll often just kind of slide around so just
know that that's gonna happen they don't have anything to stop that they don't
have any mechanism to to force that to spin but beyond that it's actually built
up pretty well and makes good use of its space it has a really nice perch they're
four kilo to stand and he can hold on to both handlebars if he doesn't have his
big barbed Club in one hand I often comment about the need for vehicles to
accommodate the accessories for your figures well in this case it's not for a
minifig it's for a big fig so that's an even bigger deal this actually has an
accommodation for that big-big fig accessory the the club
they're all this opens up kind of forms a trunk and there's that large space
there that's ample room to place the club through so if you want to put that
in there you can and I don't know I think it's fine just to leave it out
like this to leave it in his hand makes it look a little bit more more
intimidating this this way you know it's just one more thing that he can use to
actually attack with the other thing is that he will attack with from this bike
are these these just come on out now you can make them come all the way forward
like this but probably the the most dangerous pose for them is out like this
so you know just be able to take down other bikes or other things as he rides
right on by this is this newer piece that looks really good that I think is
gonna be popular amongst custom builders it has the three bar sized holes in it
this is also a bar sized section where you can clip other things onto it and it
has an axial connector yeah its other end so these work out pretty well I
think it looks well it looks good with them tucked in either forward or back
actually like the entire rear section of this these are skateboards they're just
plain black skateboards with the purple wheels in there but I like how this
looks from the back with the the wheel the tire and the the mufflers I don't
know why he has mufflers maybe they're just resonators to actually make it
sound even even louder and more intimidating again but yeah this you
know that that's pretty cool I just don't like the front I wish they had
some method of retracting the wheel or retracting the saw blade and replacing
it with a wheel or maybe having some Barb's that could just kind of come out
from a wheel so that it would be a little bit more complete as a bike now
he doesn't have any control like panel or you know dashboard in front of him or
anything that's just a completely plain piece in front of him the stickers are
pretty much limited to just these side ones and also Killough himself has a
banner let's go ahead and take a closer look at Killough since he's he's such a
major part of this set I have to admit I really like the print for his vest there
that's just very heavily detailed and it just has nice graphic design I think and
I also like how the tattoos are done on the body and the one arm his left arm
you know has pretty good coverage there and it's it's subtle enough the the use
of the dark grey color rather than black as the the outline color I think is is
very smart he's wearing the Oni mask of deception I'll show you what his actual
face looks like in just a second notice that this is kind of in a troll style
the way that it's built as a figure with the legs they're they're in line side to
side so you don't have one foot in front of the other like they've done with a
lot of the big figs in the past he needs shorts or pants that are a little bit
longer got a little bit of a little bit of Plummer action going on there he's
got a pack on that appears to have a jet in it or maybe a rocket booster or
something that's gonna allow him to go pretty fast we'll see how that works out
in just a second or why why he has a jet on his back when he has a big old bike
as well but he's got a couple of stud shooters here and these are actually on
ball joints so you can angle those anywhere and they can you know fire past
his shoulder you can also turn them to the sides a little bit so that helps
with his personal firepower and his ability to do damage and he's got his
banner up above you can angle that back to make it look like he's going you know
faster I think that just helps a little bit if he's on the bike or something but
the other thing that you can do with him I showed you the skateboards they are
not just for decoration of course there are two of them now you see where
this is going hmm lined up there we go
and there we go sorry about that there we go
yep so that's what his jet or rocket booster is for allows him to still be
very speedy even though he's a big old dude
it can be very speedy without his bike so yeah that's a little something
different you know having a lot of agility and speed on such a large
character typically you would see them as being the slow bumbling brutes but
this is a little little something different I like that and then for the
actual face it's just a minifig head under there and there's what it looks
like it confused me a little bit when I saw it at first and what what is what
that I'm looking at but he's got the white facepaint on and then he's got a
beard and mustache and it's all kind of you know shaped together and but beneath
his teeth he just has a little bit of a soul patch that continues down into the
the beard part of the chin I think that all could have been just kind of covered
in or something but yeah I mean I think his his overall expression looks pretty
good it's just very awkward to have such a small head on such a large body I
definitely like it with masks on a lot better of course that also goes with his
color scheme with the printing and the vest so that helps too and then here's
the new samurai X mech no spoilers here yet don't worry I'll give you a warning
this has a lot of a lot of feeling of Detroit steel to me just with the the
color scheme you know but I think I'll always miss the original summer IX
design you know the general style and everything but this is an entirely new
character so you know we have to have to adjust and just understand that we've
moved to a different generation and a different thing I like the stance of
this overall you know I like the fact that it has a pretty bulky torso for its
overall size it has some good length to the legs and not too much bulk to the
legs also so the length of the arms is
interestingly short I feel like they could have gone longer for for either
arm but I think this helps to to make it look a little bit more agile with those
legs with the what looked like powerful thighs and then the the thinner ankles
it looks like this would be able to jump around a lot it would be very springy
moving Mac just just from kind of first impressions of it let me show you the
whole thing from the back as well this is actually removable item here that can
be used as a weapon I'll show you how that works but this does use ball joints
and no ratcheted joints which gives you the maximum possible range of motion if
it's done properly let's actually check that out see how easy it is to get it
into a forward moving pose oh yeah yeah this is working see if I can get it too
it's got a couple stud shooters there on that at hand so I want to have that
forward firing yeah I see not a problem has good good stability
I think the bend and the static bend in the knees is is pretty good it looks
pretty good not able to get a good good kick I guess a little bit but let's see
yeah the only limitation here is really in how far forward and back you can move
the ankles these are limited here just there but if I rotate it a little bit
now that's not enough but they have to go to the side and then lose some of
that so yeah that's a little bit rough use this too I'm just trying to get a
kickin pose it's a little bit difficult to do that I mean this works but it
looks like it's leaning back a little bit a little bit much and I can't really
bring this forward so really the limiting factor here is definitely in in
the ankle just how far forward and back you can go with that you do a little
modification to change that up then there will always be compromises as to
you know which which axis of movements you you lose so up here they have just
the shortest c CBS joints used or the the upper arms but it's better
better than having no joint there you see what I mean about that the the
length of the arms they're not able to even come across the chest you can angle
just a little bit to the side like that but it's not able to really reach in
across you can definitely move these around but yeah not not the most
articulation I've ever seen out of a mech of this size it's not bad I'm gonna
actually give up an unpopular opinion here definitely unpopular I think that
this is better having no knees no poseable knees and having knees as a toy
yeah obviously it's not better for collectors and stop-motion animators and
such but for for kids playing with this I think that something this small would
be a little bit frustrating to have knees in it to have to always worry
about getting those knees posed myself in just a second but it's better to have
good stability in my opinion and have that that extra point of articulation
yeah I mean yes sir I've just limitations to what you can do but I
feel like it'll do anything that I want and I can easily get it into a pose just
instantly where it will stand up that's an important thing during play you know
you don't want to have to fiddle with the legs too much to get the thing to
stand up after having a little battle sequence or something so here's how that
weapon goes into this hand over here just goes into the slot pretty nicely
and it's an interesting thing yep I definitely now wish that the arms were a
bit longer so that I could do more with this I gave it a shot but needs needs
more length I think for the upper arms though the lower arms are perfectly fine
if you want to do some modifications if you have any extra pieces from Bionicle
or other large action figures I would definitely recommend seeing like what
you can do about extending those those upper arms but otherwise I think the
design is pretty good for its size the stud shooters will work well being right
there it very stable it's easy to get the figure
in and out uses a lot of stickers for sure but see that just comes down like
that really simple you can pull these up if you want to use that as kind of part
of the the opening animation that you want to put together lock them down you
still have enough room to to fit through there I like these cylinders on the
sides those are stickers also and obviously
you can use these katanas as the actual weapons for samurai X out of the vehicle
this is a spot where you can connect a banner they don't include anyone for
this character in this set but you know this is something that you you can use
you can attach something else there yeah I think it could have been better but
it's not bad J is included in the set here in his new
movie slash TV hybrid form with his new signature weapon I think this one looks
pretty good one thing that I don't like is that the the print on his headband
does appear to be offset just a little bit I mean the the upper and lower house
are settled in where they want to be and then if you Center the lower part you
see it's just for us it's just off to the right a little bit Ted that bother
is the the OCD in me just a bit like the the white trim is an interesting choice
there's no cyan in his color scheme now yeah it's just different but I think I
like the look overall need to take a look at the back torso prints and
everything you know has this dual sheath for the the two silver katanas full
movie style new face and a pretty good print on the back of that torso even
though you don't see it most the time if you ever decide to just leave them like
this or just leave the the sheaths off I think that you get a nice look on the
back there one of the one of the better ones I think on the back of the the new
series and there's his serious face here's some RI X before the big reveal
this one definitely needs thicker print on the legs I think the design
as the potential to to look pretty striking and nice but just the leg
printing you see it's a little bit fuzzy around the edges and it's just not quite
thick enough it's letting too much of the black through yeah I feel like this
this is just being held back by the little bit of production issue there I
think this has the potential to look good but right now I just I'm not quite
feeling it it's just it's just missing missing some strengths of that visual
appearance and I think the same thing goes on the back part of it is just from
the fact that it's printing even on the torso against a dark color so it's
difficult to to make that pop without doing an additional base coat here which
it it appears they have not done at all but now it is time for that actual true
full-on spoiler I am going to remove the the helmet the front is not going to
show you the identity but the back will absolutely show it to you so here's the
front that is poor again the white just is not applied properly I don't like
what Lego is doing this season they have definitely decreased the quality of
prints on a lot of figures that I've seen not happy with I mean they've never
they've never done an excellent job printing against darker colors but it
has definitely gotten worse especially there they're white I feel like the
formulation has changed or the process has changed a little bit and it just it
cracks a little bit it's not consistent let's get to that spoiler shall we
reveal yep its pixel everybody who said it was pixel he is correct
she is pixels back she is summer IX now we all know for sure again print here
not good it's not what I expect from Lego it's what I would expect from from
knockoff brand an actual you know cheap knockoff brand notice that there's print
around the white part of the face as well in dark blue
I understand that that's going to be subtle but it's so subtle here there's
also print on the forehead can you just just barely see that in there on some
screens you might not even be able to see it because the contrast is so low
again this whole figure I feel has a potential to be strong in its appearance
but it I believe it's just being wasted by poor production it's too bad
I think my feelings about this entire set pretty much match my feelings about
to the summer IX mech where it's good there are a lot of things that I like
but just a handful of things that that hold it back and make it kind of okay
for me definitely not bad but not particularly good this is this is one
where a little bit of modification and addition of your own pieces I feel will
dramatically improve it swapping this out doing something here to turn this
into an actual tire I think will make the motorcycle a lot more fun to play
with and I think it will also look cooler you already do have these weapons
that swing out from the sides but if you can add in something just attach in
something else from from the front I think that will help a lot and then with
the mech I think lengthening the upper arms will help it dramatically give it a
lot more pose ability and just you know just help with the things that you can
do so that if you are using the hand hand weapon you don't need to have the
whole mech pose to the side like they there you know to really use that you
want to be able to fight in front of you I like this weapon I like its design I
like how different it is I like how it fits into the back I like the the
shoulder armor kind of pauldron whatever you would call those that extend out so
far there it's nice to have a little throwback to the the Spinjitzu crowns it
kind of makes me a little bit sad that we're not able to still use those and
you know customize Spinjitzu stuff with this new series bike overall is done
pretty well the big thing is I'm still not a big fan of big things but for what
it is I think it's fine J I think actually is the the star
amongst the figure Z's he's just kind of a plain version of him but I think it's
a well-done figure I really like that this skateboards the dual skateboards
for the big fake so this thing has some flaws I think but they are correctable
just keep that in mind if you're looking for something that is really strong just
in its its default form this might not be the one but it is that time I believe
I have covered everything that I want to say about this set and I'm gonna move on
to the next one they still have a lot more to review after review season is
complete I'll get back to work on the custom stuff as well as always so thank
you for watching and I'll talk to you again soon
you
