This guy does in fact look like a Gundam!
The original designer of the RX-78, Kunio Okawara, worked on the design of this character! Okawara is credited with being the first mechanical designer and also created many of the popular and iconic mecha designs found in the animation of the era, such as Zaku and GaoGaiGar. He is still creating designs even today!
He's a Gundam's close brother as is Optimus Prime. Which also has the classic Gundam trademark face.
@@thespaceram2879 No. Gundams don't have face mask, They have mouth vents. If anything it's the other way around as Gundam Zeta took inspiration from Diaclone/Optimus Prime which is the original designers and the toy company for Transformers.
@@Angel_Love6680 The Gundams have that ninja like mouth plate going on like Optimus Prime.
@@thespaceram2879 yes some of them have but Im pointing out that it's not a distinct feature of a classic gundam trademark. The classic trademark is the V Fin and The Air Vents. Gundam Zeta got inspiration from Star Saber which is why it's the other way around.
He does look like a Gundam!
6:02 this shield has to be the most gundam thing I seen on transformers. Even the handle/shield connector looks similar to some of the shield connectors used on my mode kits
Fun fact: People often say this guy looks like a Gundam, but they're actually completely right
The original designer of the rx-78 worked on this character's design 😂
@@cavvaldiv5536 ah. That explains it
Absolutely haha! This character in general has a real heavy gundam vibe to him
It literally looks like Nu Gundam’s shield
Man it must be nice having the inside connections at Hasbro. This hasn't even shipped for 99.9% of the population.
A little frustrating, I have to admit, especially since a lot of folks (myself included) backed this thing a year ago.
@@xigzagger well...why didn't you consider a chance that PvsP ALSO backed this and he already got a quite strong connection with Hasbro.
It sounds unfair but PvsP did help promoting for Hasbro quite a lot. So....yeah
Love this. The QC issues are the only thing that I really have to complain about, the rest of it has been so shown off that I wasn’t surprised by hollow arms of saber or on the guns. Really looks like a fun set and can’t wait to get mine in. Hopefully QC is good so this guy can get on my top figures of the year
I'm Still Gonna Get Both Transformers Generation Haslab Victory Saber Set (Star Saber And Victory Leo) and Transformers Generation Haslab Deathsaurus I Starting To Like The Series and The Characters.
The sheer rarity of these guys being so much as acknowledged makes this set more than worth the price.
It’s a cool figure but apparently some copies have had manufacturing errors with having wrong parts on the legs, you’d feel like something which is worth £170 Hasbro would be careful on how they made the units?! Overall as just said he’s awesome and the upcoming HasLab Deathsaurus equally so!
Yeah I’ve seen some of those issues & they suck! Real shame! Especially for a Haslab!
I kinda wish they'd kept the ones that got water damages for QC repairs.
If you had one that had manufacturering errors you can contact Hasbro Pulse which will send out replacement parts or replace the entire figure if possible.
I emailed them a week or two ago and confirmed to me.
@@90lancaster They probably have but would have ordered extra beyond the confirmed orders for QC repairs anyway
Unfortunately, I didn't back this up when it was launched (probably will be the same for Deathsaurus too) so I'm really hoping that I can come across one with a good price point in after market. Awesome review, and congrats to all who will received their copies.
Edit: I finally got my hands on Victory Saber at my local comics shop. Last one in stock, a bit above $300 but worth it. Hopefully I can have the same luck for Deathsaurus too...
It wont happen. Second hand prices for Haslabs are absolutley ridiculous. If you have even the slightest interest in it then back the Haslab for Deathsauras now. Itd probably be easier to find a couple hundred bucks now than double to triple that later.
Why don’t you reserve it on tfsource. It’s 240 which isn’t to much over Retail. Then you don’t have to pay for it till it ships
@@ComicCrossing That's why I buy two. Sell one, pays for the two and I still have extra money left over. With Unicron, buying two and selling one left me with a $700 profit after eBay fees
Maybe retailers will stock additional units like they did for Unicron! I hope you can find one for a good price!
No sireee, you won’t find this anywhere near retail or a reasonable price.
They didn’t paint the inner wings red because those parts of the wings are on a plastic that can’t be painted, that’s why they did the stickers, pretty sure they brought it up.
It's a triple changer with two combiner gimmicks, so five modes total. I think they did a good job with victory leo really. I'm really looking forward to getting mine in.
Marathon of a video. Great job. Can't wait till I get mine next week. Pumped!
I’m not that familiar with the Victory series, but this is a definite must have, I was unsure about it when it was announced but after this review I can see what all the hype was for.
Nice video. I didn't pick this one up, but watching the video is the next best thing
Great review! So glad i backed this. I hope that your review convinces people to also back Deathsaurus as i really want to see it get the full backing. Here's hoping Hasbro will give us more Victory characters. They did Galaxy Shuttle as well, so we are already on our way.
Awesome video thanks for all u do
I bet that any third party or DNA Designs will eventually create another upgrade kit for Victory Saber, such as its Saber Blade length extension, things to fill up the hollow gaps, total replacement of both V-Lock Vulcans (without hollow on the bottom side), Victory Leo's headsculpt (This version looks like as if Victory Leo has a sad facial expression IMO)
Mine had the same QC issues as shown in the video. Although you are probably correct about future DNA kits, it’s sad that I’ll have to pay another $50 to fix the issues that my original$190 should have covered. The Victory Leo lion head looks like it was taken from Bumble Bee cyberverse line. I really thought I’d be getting a Masterpiece level bot. First and last Haslab purchase.
I’m glad that I had the opportunity to back this figure. I’m looking forward to getting it and doing my own review of these figures.
You are my favorite Transformers reviewer, thanks for making great content like this.
Ah wow thanks so much! That’s very kind!
Awesome video as always keep up the amazing work
Ah thank you so much! :)
@@PrimeVsPrime yw but u really are the best never forget that 😁
Mine ships out on the 28th, and I can’t wait! Phenomenal review as always PvP
Thanks so much! =)
Such a amazing looking figure! 👍
It looks straight up jumps out of the screen!
I think it's a shame Victory Leo doesn't come with Jhiaxus style pinned hands.
It is really nicely done!
Articulated hands would’ve been nice!
@@PrimeVsPrime I guess they didn't feel the need as he doesn't hold anything he comes with = but he cold have clasped one of the Micromasters at least.
I realise most people won't do it but since they are covered in hex ports & screw holes that look 5mm size I am going to try to combine them with some of my other toys in different ways like you did with Optimus wearing the wings.
I already own Diatlas and Greatshot so these guys should complement those too.
Perhaps one day they will revisit the Micromasters or perhaps Doctor Wu will start finishing the Micromaster Teams & Squads.
Colourwise I think he will display nicely with Skylynx & Jetfire too even if these guys never would have met any of those characters they suit = Hey I have an imagination and that is the entire premise of Legacy after all.
Great review, can’t wait to get mine in Hand and hopefully no QC issues
Hopefully we get Road Caesar one day.
Epic review PrimeVsPrime!!! Despite all the flaws these figures have, I still enjoy seeing modern day figures of Star Saber and Victory Leo. That said, I hope we get mass retail figures of them one day. Keep on being amazing.
Great video. I haven't collected transformers since G1 but wanted to get back into it because of your reviews..I'd be grateful to anyone who could help me understand the difference between all the classes as I sadly have to admit that I don't understand them at all.. thank you
Ah thanks so much for your kind words!
Core Class - the smallest & cheapest Transformers, usually pocket sized with decent detail ect.
Deluxe class- a step up from core class, more articulation, engineering, detail & paint.
Voyager Class- middle sized robots, can be quite a step up engineering wise with usually more detail & articulation.
Leader Class- one of the biggest scales, should be the best of the best but for the price point not always worth it.
Great review, I was on the fence about backing this figure but now I am glad I did. The concern I have is the same as yours, mainly the scratch on the mouth piece of Victory Leo, now that we know about it, maybe I won't even flip it down and just live with the face kibble. Scratched paint and stressed plastic tabs are my biggest pet peave on Transformers.
Great Review! This guy looks amazing!
Thank you very much!
Sweet!!! Looking forward to him showing up in the mail.
I just got my HasLab Victory Saber copy. So far I have no QC issues with it. Fire and Holi are so colored because in Japan the Microformers (name in Japan) usually have different colors than in America. For the rest good video!
This looks so SICK really wish I backed this
Nice review
Thanks mate!
Great review. Thank you. What an amazing figure! I did not know much about this guy when it was introduced as a HasLab but I am glad I backed him because he looks pretty awesome. As of this post, it looks like Deathsaurus is less than 400 backers from being funded. I am hoping all the tiers get unlocked but at least it looks like we will be getting Victory Saber's rival. Too bad about the QC issues and those hollow gaps. I really hope someone like Toyhax makes some gap fillers for those cannons because those gaps really do bring down the look of this HasLab figure. With that said I am so glad I backed him and can't wait to get mine. Thanks again.
Thank you for watching it! Same here! I didn’t know too much about the character either but the figure looked really nice! I think Deathsaurus will be a really nice piece to pair alongside VS
@@PrimeVsPrime Agreed!
It is a shame that we have to spend more money to “fill the gaps”. I thought that was one of the benefits of Haslab?! Kinda makes me wonder if Hasbro has secret ties to DNA design. 🤔
@@bgarmstrong1446 Agreed! On a positive note, it is nice to see Deathsaurus not only fully backed but all tiers unlocked and it looks like Hasbro cut down on the gaps for Deathsaurus.
I just got mine today in the mail. I haven’t had a chance to get him out of the box, but just the packing and seeing him for the first time is wonderful
Can’t wait to get mine shipped. Looking forward to hopefully having it before Christmas.
Yessss! It should arrive in time :)
Looks like a fantastic figure. Let's hope the upcoming Deathsaurus figure can keep up the good work.
This looks gorgeous
Nice review, thanks, and do not worry about the camera angles, you did a great job here too!
This figure however.. I would not even need this for free..
Plus these QC issues for a Haslab product are just pathetic.
Ah thank you very much for your kind words! Much appreciated! 🙏🏻 - & yesss I totally agree! QC issues on a Haslab are dire 💩
Wow you got back haslab victory saber
Hey, I was wondering where you get your stands that you use to get those sweet action poses. I’d love to pick some up for my collection. 😆
Very nice review
Thank you!
Excellent review, PVP. Having played with mine, I wholeheartedly agree about some of the disappointing aspects like the paint chipping and shield not attaching to the base. When I fully close Victory Leo's lion mouth, there is a small gap in between the top and bottom lips. Is this common, or am I experiencing a QC issue?
I can't wait for the deathsaurus review and the figure look awesome as 🔥😈
I can't wait to get mine!
Epic! If I didn't have the original I would be extremely tempted to get it.
I cannot wait to get mine... Suposed to be sent next week
There was a quick review of Legacy on modern deluxe hot shots but there’s not a full review of it
I have to get round to him soon haha! Sorry for the wait
that plastic color separation. wow. this is the reason why I love mastergrade gundam model kits.
Great PVSP now I can't unsee the waffles and the paintchips. I'm going to have to take both my VS's when they come in and hide them away for their shame 😂 ......
+26:29 I don't know if this works on this version but on other Victory Leo's the "tail" is a mounting point for the guns instead of them being on the top. It is also much larger usually and looks more like a cockpit too.
To add to my list of after market parts.. a neck for the lion to add neck aticulation and to allow for the lion head to be the other way up in jet mode but this may be possible as is, I'll have to see when mine arrives. an adaptor to move the guns to other places and often further back in some modes. and insert extender with hinge retained for the vertical tails on Star Saber. the guns are such a mess though they may just need flat out replacing.
But the Vlock cannon should be centrally mounted not off to one side.
He's also missing the two pistols the Robotmasters version had too.
When u do your end of 2022 end of year Transformers Studio Series Ranking video can u include the Takara Tomy Transformers Premium Finish figures such as PF-SS05 Bayverse Optimus Prime, PF-SS03 2007 Megatron, 2007 Ratchet, Bumblebee movie Volkswagen beetle Bumblebee and Bumblebee Movie Optimus Prime if that's possible for u
I’m still debating whether I should include them or not :(
Victory Saber should be in the Transformers Legacy line. I would've gotten him in a Cybertronian astrosecond.
I agree! Would’ve been nice had he just been a commander so he was easier to get
At one point one was planned for the Power of The Primes line.
@@PrimeVsPrime Agreed. He also come close to SkyLynx in transformations. Victory Saber comes close to Robots In Disguise Galvatron which I think has 10 modes unless I'm wrong lol.
Awsome video!
Thanks so much!
@@PrimeVsPrime Your welcome
Cool didn't back it though wishing I did, but maybe I might buy this on secondary market such as eBay
Oh, I backed this! I always wanted this guy and since the G1 figure is out of the question and the Masterpiece was too expensive and didn't have Victory Leo I wasn't getting him either...this on the other hand is great! I backed him SO FAST. I just wish that the inflation BS wasn't a factor this year or I'd back Deathsaurus.
For those who have this, you can fix fire and hollys ball joints with a layer of acrylic paint from an acrylic paint pen, brand doesnt matter, the acrylic paint adds resistance for the ball and socket, i used this trick on all the wfc micromasters with ball joints.
I like a tiny piece of paper towel, it’s adjustable, non-permanent/non-damaging and quite secure, I got a floppy Movie Prime and in 30 seconds his hips were solid
@@MEmoosetrax once u try my method u wont go back
It looks great. Despite the flaws it is still a great set and I can't wait to get mine. Honestly, I would have preferred they use the plastic from those mini-cons to fill in any gaps on the other figures. The mini-cons don't add anything to the set so I don't understand why they chose to include them. The display stand was a tremendous inclusion. The several modes each robot provides allows for nice play opportunities. As always, a great review. I'm always pleased to hear your honest opinions about the positive and the negative.
Thank you very much mate!
The mini ones were a big deal in the show. They hung out with Victory Saber’s son. If anything, I wish we got the 2 missing minicons (a boat and ambulance). I know it would have been asking for a lot (especially given that Hasbro won’t even give us a figure without waffles), but all new sculpts with better articulation ( or at least legs that don’t just fall off) would have been appreciated. :) Good job on the video review, btw. I watched the whole thing!
micromasters not minicons two completely different mini-bots factions
@@thecasualknight2647 semantics, but I get your point. :)
Hey PVP, I have a studio series grindor that's arm is broken off...but it can still be in helicopter and robot mode... should I consider it a curse ....or a blessing/sign that I need to start animating again?
16:14 I'm having trouble connecting the panels to the leg after I connect a leg to the arm the panels will just stick out in a v motion I followed this step-by-step and it's still not connecting can anyone help me?
I hope there’s a couple copies for regular online retail cause I definitely want to get my hands on this dude
Probably but they are going to cost a lot more than the original $180
There’s not, good luck on ebay
Haslab only item. Your only bet is resellers now. That’s gonna be the case for Deathsaurus in case anyone decides they like him a year from now.
There will not be, you will have to get one off ebay
For Unicron some online retailers had him but it was for 2x the price. If you're fine with paying near 400$ for him, then I'd suggest keeping an eye on Big Bad Toy Store.
I loved the micromasters as a tier unlock. Holi was a major character of the show. He IS the bumblebee of Victory. They were a nice addition to the set.
The next haslab after deathsaurus should be road caesar or liokaiser
They already said no more victory haslabs, and tbh im glad because haslabs are too expensive
Maybe a tidal wave or primus
I didn’t back it due to hasbro PayPal issues but I’m so glad I had a freind back an extra for me. I still wish victory Leo had some 5mm pegs in the combined feet so he could combine with others as well.
Stupendo ! 😱😱😱😱
Awesome toy bro. Really excited of upgrade kit of transformers studio series 06 starscream
So glad I backed this guy. Gotten more picky with my collecting because I’ve been holding out for EXACTLY what I wanted and this was it!
Use a hairdryer/heat gun on the stress marked tab. Low heat can remove the stress mark and return the plastic on the tab to its original state....
Can’t wait to have these guys next to my MP star saber and third party MP style victory Leo, already have the MP Star saber and the third party victory Leo combined but just gotta decide if I want the haslab ones like that too
I just got mine this morning and I love it! It has a couple of tiny scuffs, but nothing egregious. Considering this Star Saber was under $190.00, I think it's very good. I agree that there shouldn't be any hollow gaps or waffling in the plastic. For what it is, it's very nice. If I could have had it my way, the sword would have been chrome silver and had a longer blade, the overall size would have been a couple of inches taller, and I would've liked another set of blast effects for the V-Star cannon, and the smaller rifle, so all four guns could have effects. Overall, I give him an A-. 🤓😁
I can't wait for mine to come in.
It’s really nice!
do you know if this will be available to purchase in the future?
"I've been waiting an eternity for this" I srsly want this guy so bad :c
Glad I sold my MP version a few years ago. Not a mainline guy for me and needed the space, but I did reserve this version.
I can’t wait to get mine in hand I’m so excited Star Saber is my favorite
can we take off the black lower jaw of V Leo and trim it a bit in order to avoid black painted hinge being rubbed ?
Gorgeous toy!!
This is very interesting
Very interesting!
As good as it looks, the QC has me worried for Deathsaurus. Overall he doesn’t seem worth the 180$, especially when compared to Jetfire being 80-90.
I’d love to see to Saber as a Deluxe class in the mainline! He could even introduce the mainline to more brainmasters! Tho they’d probably just make a new mold with a headmaster. I wouldn’t be opposed!
Maybe even give us Leo as well!
@@ThePuff18 ya even though they would NEVER do this it would be cool to get Star Saber as a commander and Victory Leo as a voyager or leader, but like I said its never gonna happen 😔
Mine had the same QC issues as shown in the video. The Victory Leo lion head looks like it was taken from Bumble Bee cyberverse line. I really thought I’d be getting a Masterpiece level bot. First and last Haslab purchase.
Nice
Can't wait for my copy to come in
It’s awesome! I hope you like it :)
For the smaller robot you would have thought they would have erased the hollowed out spots for the hands.
I agree!
At least the transformation suggests there is clearance enough that if someone made a hinged cover for the side of Saber's arms attached to the hollow port in the other side it wouldn't interfere with any of the other modes at all.
I'd hoping someone makes wing extenders ever wing is slightly to short for my tastes and an extra pivot point would fold them up better and prevent them catching on things at all.
I think even the MP has the hollow arms
@@zannusx it does and that was a shame too.
This figure is AWESOME!! Some better articulation and poses. And also a tribute to Gundam if you’re familiar. But it has several issues sadly.
I agree man!
I don't know if I like Star Saber as a really AWESOME looking robot or a RIDICULOUSLY overpowered sword
Facts though.
Haha the most expensive sword hasbro has ever made!
@@PrimeVsPrime im waiting for like, haslab tfp starsaber. It won't scale with anything. It will just be a giant, epic sword.
While Im already satisfied with MP24, i gotta admit I have a slight twinge of regret for not backing this one and getting my own.
Hi. I have the opposite feeling. I have MP Star Saber and I love it. It's one of my favorite Transformers. This one is feeling redundant but maybe I will feel differently once I get it in hand.
yep, i would display it the same as you, combine it all and display it as a centre piece, looks really good when all combined. too bad i dont have one 😩😩
Hey I was wondering do you have a spare sige laser beak and ravage because I need them for my legacy soundwave because I had to make mine out of Lego so reply if you do
This cool video mister primevsprime
I like the waist hinge and the way the legs can be extended 👍
Wait. If i didn't ''back'' it does that mean i won't be able to get it? Like an exclusive type of thing
I just got mine a couple days ago, does anyone else who has one know where the blade goes storage-wise?
Let's go!
Shame that I missed the backup campaign. Great review for an awesome figure.
Hopefully sites like BBTS May stock some additional units! & thank you!
Such a cool toy I wish I got one
It is coool! I hope you can find one for a good price!
Always dreamed of a Star Saber figure. And, well, let's just hope it gets released in a core class someday, because it's going to be the only Star Saber I can buy.
Some dreams don’t come true.
@@tukai1976 And it's a sad truth...
Now, I would really like an RID 2001 Omega prime combo set.
We're can u buy this? Plz tell me! (He's one of my favorite Autobots).
Brah this looks as epic as has lab unicron!!!
Your right man it's sick
He looks fabulous
is it possible to have him in Star Saber mode with the Brainmaster in place?
Bot mode and combined look great. Last I checked on this guy was the grey prototype and he looked alot smaller so thanks for the comparisons.
I just don't like alt mode and what were they thinking with the micro masters? A repaint of storm cloud and whisper would've been better as they at least combine into another sword. Can't believe they missed that trick.
