Finally bought this Mech today brand new without figures for 40 Euro only. So glad! Im so excited about the build of the new head design😊 thanks a lot!
Yup but I was surprised that my previous ideas for this set won't work 🤣 I'm going back to the Ultra combo mech for ideas. Might go first with a small vehicle to be a leg then try to change it and make a more articulated mech that could replace Kai's Samurai mech as the torso. The latter might be more challenging
@@Mechalaro That sound great, but I think u should keep Kai as torso bs red goes with many colors. That why many Zord's torso are red. Now you have Samurai X, you can update the mech or combine it with water dragon or something... Nya should have her own mech like Dragonzord or white tigerzord, Samurai Star Chopper....
@@RonaldoReal344 yup Kai will still be the primary torso. For the Nya's mech, I'll use it as a test if I can make a fully customize torso that also can stand alone too like the dragon zord. If I'm successful then I'll apply it to Kai's mech. I want to add a waist swivel. Kai's mech right now is more of a Modified version of the original. I will first try making a smaller vehicle for Nya that will be a leg. I think that will be easier than the torso redesign 😂
Thanks. I tried to add a false neck to make the head not look like it's floating from the body😁 The actual neck connector is still a bit far to the back so the head still looks weird when moved to the sides 🤣
Got this mech for my son and I hated the head. Now ist is much better. Appreciate you used only parts available. Now please come up with something for the shoulder shooters ;-)
If you do not have it anymore then don't bother. You could try an alternative built with 71794 combing the two mechs into one. I think a lot of people have bought this set recently...and the original looks pretty nasty.
@flxffm2078 Yeah, I got that set in line. I'm thinking of a theme for it. Like, can I make the small mech a bit bigger and more articulated, then make the bigger mech into a vehicle, then armor for the smaller mech. I got another set lined up before that, so it may take some time. 😁 Right now the 71786 set is kicking my behind. I'm 50% with it and hope to finish it by next week 😁
@@Mechalaro quick question, I know all the pieces you used to build the head come form the set, but did you use pieces from other parts of the mech or are all the pieces from the original head?
To be honest, the new samurai x mech just doesn't feel as good as previous versions. Your modifications certainly help, but something about it just doesn't work for me.
Maybe the new one feels more like a big suit compared to the old ones that shows it'a robot with angles and edges. The color scheme might also be the reason. P.I.X.A.L version has dark blue but the new one lean towards lighter colors.
@@Mechalaro might rebuild mine with parts from the water dragon to build nya's combiner vehicle for my 6-in-1 combiner that I am starting to get around to now
I'm also looking for that dragon for the dark azure parts 😂 The Samurai x mech has big dark azure parts but I still need small and curved brick. I'm trying to look for the dragon only at my local sellers 😁
I missed out on that set. I didn't watched out for it as I thought the samurai x mech will have the dark azure pieces that I need 😂 Looking forward to see your design in the future 😁

That's a good deal! I'll get another set too if I get a good price. I like this set's design and color theme 😁
Samurai x, finally

Somehow, this small change instantly makes the mech 100 times better.

It looks more show accurate

Sorry but I may have scrapped this set for parts. Will try it when I get a new set.

This new head looks a lot better than the original
Thanks. The 1x2 plates a bit soft for my copy of the set so the small wedge pieces falls sometimes 🤣
@@Mechalaro quick question, I know all the pieces you used to build the head come form the set, but did you use pieces from other parts of the mech or are all the pieces from the original head?
@@KRRJ all parts are from the head and neck plus 1 pearl gold stud drom the extra pieces that came with the set.
@@Mechalaro ok thanks
i know an idea. turn it to a corrupted mech.

@@Mechalaro i got one that I am keeping built that I got when it was on sale normally, then my mom found me one on clearance at Walmart
