Nice review Skelly! I'm all in on this army as well, can't wait until the rest of these guys come out. I have a feeling the battle between Toys Alliance and Joy Toy for my shelf space will never end.
Haha yeah I'm with you Mecha. Although, right now I have more TA stuff in my direct sight (desk toys). I'm glad I secured the rest of Yamato. I've got a big purchase of 40k coming soon though!
I'm scared of falling down the TA rabbit hole. I'm already neck deep in the JT one. Is it my imagination or is acid rain a little more expensive than joy toy?
@@killisionblasto4774 it's a deep hole my friend! But one filled with so much badassery. It's not your imagination, the acid rain stuff is more expensive. If you get into it just try and be very selective, there's so much good stuff you probably won't be able to get it all. They work well with Joytoy too, which is a big plus
They look awesome. Might have to get a few. Thanks for the vid buddy!! I like the designs better than the normal acid rain stuff but thats just personal preference. Glad they are improving shoulder articulation. Have a great week bud.
Hey Gunnar! Cheers mate. Same, this line speaks more to my sensibilities. The shoulder design is definitely an improvement. You too mate, have a good'un!
Great review. I'm waiting for mine in the mail. This Yamato stuff looks really good. Thanks for going deep into the figures and letting us see everything. Very helpful. 👍
Nice one! Thanks for the sub and checking the content. I've just uploaded the latest 1/18 scale toy news vid, and there's a ton of other vids to check out too. Really appreciate the support mate! 💀
As usual A very comprehensive awesome review. I really want both figures especially Norinu with that sniper rifle and improved articulation! It's a shame I currently can't buy Acid rain figures as the shop I usually go to got greedy and increased the price significantly
Cheers Hunter! Really looking forward to the double pack this month and in December too. TA are offering some great variety. Almost too much to keep up with!
Cheers Sir Robert! Oohhh would be cool to see what they come up with for dio stuff. I know two of the Soil Ghost release early next year have dio-esque parts included. But would like to see them expand on that
Hello Skelly I hope all is well with you, I just wanted to ask a question that you might be able to help with. Do you have any advice on how to replug the vests on the Yamato figures? I have been having real trouble getting a vest back on the Kaiho Defence Officer and getting all 4 plugs in seems impossible, I tried everything as well like a hair dryer etc and still can't get the plugs back in! Any tips or advice? I guess if I can't get the vest back on its not the end of the world, the figure has a armoured vest on the base buck anyway which looks cool and the figure is actually lighter and more posable without the vest on so its a lot easier to display with say a smashing down baton pose. Do you ever display figures with vests off? Anyway thanks again Skelly and keep up the good work with the reviews!
Hey Ollie! Good to hear from you mate. Yeah, Kaiho's vest is difficult to get on. If you jump to about 18 mins on this vid it shows what I do. Best to take upper half of the torso off first, but I use small pliers that are rounded off to help fasten it. You can get them from Amazon £6.99 you get three different pliers. They're for jewelry making. I know not ideal, but it's really helped me with how small these are
@@SkellywagsTV Hey Skelly thanks for the quick reply and info! I got the torso off easily enough but whatever I try I just can not get the vest plugs through the holes and its really annoying me now haha, plus I am really worried about damaging it which sucks! I will take your advice and get the jewelry pliers set from Amazon, Do you remember the make of the pliers so I can get the same ones? Thanks again Skelly!
No probs Ollie. Lol yup they can get quite annoying. The worst culprit for me is the Aegis Sentinel. Was a nightmare to get the guns to fit in the back and close up the vest. I believe this is the set I got from Amazon, pretty cheap and fits the job! hugttt 3Pcs Jewelry Pliers Jewelry Making Pliers Tools with Needle Nose Pliers/Chain Nose Pliers, Round Nose Pliers and Wire Cutter for Jewelry Beading Repair Making Supplies amzn.eu/d/75qJxfG
@@SkellywagsTV Thanks for the link Skelly and you highly recommend this set? For the price they seem quite good so I will definitely order a set, hopefully it will really help to get the vests on! I presume its the Round nose pliers that you use for putting the tabs on the vest so it won't damage it? Thanks for all the info! One last thing I wanted to ask is if you ever do bitz trading or know of any UK Facebook groups where people swap figure bitz? I am looking for some Acid Rain parts though anything Acid Rain is hard to come by thesedays. Thanks again!
Yeah the set is fine. You can probably get better, but for what I need it does the job. Yeah, I primarily use the rounded pliers, although I have found use for the others too. I don't use FB, but there's a good community on Instagram. 796 studios helped me get Sofi for a great price. Would love some Acid Rain spare parts etc. They do sell bodies and accessories for ARW on Aliexpress, but the prices are a bit steep
Pia-Club is getting crazy with their shipping prices. I'm better off going to a local or near by State seller. Acid rain figures are getting super pricey as well. Going to have to cut back plenty. Kool video. Thanks for sharing 👍
No doubt. I'm having to buy in bulk, but even then it costs quite a bit. Still works out a bit cheaper for me compared to other sellers. I'm definitely trying to cut back too, but still got a load I really want. I've got the new Omanga figures and vehicles on the way from Pia. Really looking forward to those. Cheers for checking the vid mate!
Good indepth review as always and fantastic figures, I like both of them and I would even army build the Kaiho Defence Officer but again the lack of availability over here in the UK and the cost makes it hard to stomach haha. How do you feel about these figures compared to the Joy Toy warhammer 40k figures? I was very tempted to just give up on lines like Acid Rain and just collect the Warhammer line but its so hard to decide! Anyway keep up the good work Skellywags!
Cheers Ollie. Warhammer is great, but the designs are pretty similar. I'm creating a 118 universe, so I like more variety in my figures. The 40k figures are unlike anything joytoy have done before, whereas these new Yamato figures (although new bucks) are an iteration of the acid rain existing main buck. I'm getting the second wave of 40k figs but beyond that I will have to be more selective
Extra credit for taking their armor off. piaclub arw seems to be selling out rather quickly the month the products are due out. ? smaller runs or just too popular. Caa't wait for mine that are still inbound.
Cheers mate. Yeah I noticed that too! I think it's due to popularity, particularly knowing the price can go up after the initial run. Much like when Hiro and Void went up to 55 bucks after they initially sold out from their initial 35 price

SkellywagsTV time for reviews!!!. Awesome review btw, thank you and really enjoy watching your video. 👍👍
Cheers mate. Nice one, thanks for tuning in. Really appreciate the positive feedback too, helps me carry on with what I do
They look awesome. Might have to get a few. Thanks for the vid buddy!! I like the designs better than the normal acid rain stuff but thats just personal preference. Glad they are improving shoulder articulation. Have a great week bud.
Hey Gunnar! Cheers mate. Same, this line speaks more to my sensibilities. The shoulder design is definitely an improvement. You too mate, have a good'un!
Mine just got to sf! Should have them tomorrow. As well as my infected people set. Can’t wait!!🥳🤗🤗
Sounds like an awesome haul! I only got two of the joytoy zombies. I should get them soon too. These two are top notch!
Great review. I'm waiting for mine in the mail. This Yamato stuff looks really good. Thanks for going deep into the figures and letting us see everything. Very helpful. 👍
Cheers fella. You got some great figures coming your way! Glad I've secured the lot
Came across your video on my suggestions guess I might as well subscribe thank you for uploading man hope for the best greets from US

@@SkellywagsTV definitely leaving a like thank you
Much appreciated fella!
Amazing figures! With the machine gunner and shield on the sentry, it reminds me of the panzer cop from the old Jin Roh anime. Awesome video Skelly 👍
Thanks MG. Love that anime! you're right, the way the armour looks is very reminiscent of it. I'm sure someone will come up with a badass custom.
This looks awesome. Very ghost in the shell
Great figures! I love GITS. There's a new android fig coming out this year that has Kusanagi vibes
As usual A very comprehensive awesome review. I really want both figures especially Norinu with that sniper rifle and improved articulation! It's a shame I currently can't buy Acid rain figures as the shop I usually go to got greedy and increased the price significantly
Thanks mate. Both are very good! Man, that sucks you got a price increase. Have you checked other outlets? BBTS or buy market on ebay?
Great Vid! still waiting on mine. PIA to NY is now at least 3 weeks
Damn. That's crazy, especially when PIA to UK is via Singapore now. Well, on the bright side at least you've secured them!
Great review as always my fellow skelly! Toys alliance did a great job with these figures norinu sentinel is amazing!! Keep the good work skelly!!
Cheers Hunter! Really looking forward to the double pack this month and in December too. TA are offering some great variety. Almost too much to keep up with!
The armor on thus guys looks amazing.
Yes, very nice designs! Very impressed with what we've got from this faction so far
Might have to get some ARW figures. Great review brotha!
It's a rabbit hole full of wonderful toys!
Awesome review sir Skelly, can't wait to get my set, I hope they start doing diorama set's like Joy toy, anyways thanks again 👍
Cheers Sir Robert! Oohhh would be cool to see what they come up with for dio stuff. I know two of the Soil Ghost release early next year have dio-esque parts included. But would like to see them expand on that

The grey one looks nice. Not a fan of the helmet though. May consider grabbing the grey one and the two ninja heroes later on... 🤔
Yeah, the helmet you're either gonna love or hate. Also makes a great body for another head. Hopefully all will be more readily available
Pretty cool. Great review....:) :) :)
