Vangelus Review 56 - S.H.Figuarts Another Agito

[Astronopolis]

3 years later and i finally get the jokes/references

[Megasevo23]

i thought his ..... last appearance in the show kinda sucked.

[StInG268]

Is he based on the design of that movie Rider where in one scene he rips a monsters head and spine off its body?

[ulti88]

@StInG268 no. thats Shin Kamen Rider. hes in Kamen Rider Agito

[TheRikkuFanboy]

Where did you watch Agito? I can't find any subs. :c

[TheHelldragon]

And now that I'm almost done with Agito, the Masato bit is finally clear. This series kicks hyper ass. Still probably won't be buying toys of it, but if I ever do, Another Agito will have earned his place on my shelf.

[BigTransFan]

I've found myself coming back to this video many times over the 2 year I've been on Youtube, and now that someone decided to finally re-stock Another Agito, I will have a bugman of my own.

In other words, Thank You.

[TFfan7]

can the BALL joints on the wings break over time?

[xcollazo89]

How tall are S.H.Figuarts?

[shamel95]

@xcollazo89 14 or 15 cm

[jfk2046]

Hey Dude, it's true, this figure is almost perfect under the serie.

[Cain1134]

Nice review, personally I liked Gills out of all three Agitos. G3 is cool too, but he's just the vacancy filler.

[E123Ultima]

Looks like a cross between the original Kamen Rider and Shin Kamen RIder.

[mashcorps]

I think figuarts is trying to account for there whole agito ground form and other forms failure by giving us amazingly well done G3,G4 and gills figures

[nightslash3535]

Could you do Gills next?

[nightslash3535]

Poor Kino-san, he's the first Rider (in the Heisei era) to die.

[phenom1980]

what was the music that you used for your "posing porn" scene? (This is by far the most legitimate dirty sounding question I've ever asked.)

[Godzillawolf1]

That figure is insanely awesome! I cannot believe how amazing the figure looks. He's so posible! He can even do the Rider Kick!

So wouldn't he be considered an Anti-hero?

[RiderZo]

I'm getting this guy! I love how he is in the show!

[DIA333333]

I have to stop posting Another Agito statuses.

Plz ignore me!!!!!!

[DropkickMurphysFan01]

@DIA333333 Discontinued?

[TFfan7]

what were the other figuarts that you cancelled?

[Ohmygodiamonfire]

Damnit Vangelus, your plan to get people into Kamen Rider has succed, as I am watching Kabuto and enjoying it immensely. And now it's probably going to spiral into me buying All the Kabuto Figuarts starting with Drake cause I like him, and then the rest, causing me to run out of money >=(

[DarkKonohaCorps]

Kabuto's a great Figuart. His leg extends and folds up to do Rider Kick.

[CaptainComicbook]

Ok now i'm really excited to watch Agito. I'm working my way through Kuuga and from what i briefly heard, Agito is a somewhat sequel to Kuuga. God I hope thats true because god knows I love Ichijo....i would turn gay for that man...well him and Hibiki-san......i've said too much. Well damn good review sir, and from how lovingly you spoke about that kino-san i might have me a new man-crush...

[emogoth22]

is it true that the costume of another agito was just the old KR J?

[ArkRiley]

No.

[Alphaxos]

5:58, Posing Pron AND Deep Breath from Agito? Epic wins! "Deep Breath, we just need to focus!"

Nice review, and with Gills coming out, AA is lookin better by the second!

[zombieemperor]

is this guy a human?or an alien or what?

[Vange1us]

He is of the seed of Agito.

[zombieemperor]

...witch meens..what?

[legonerd1234]

@Vange1us that had to hurt

[Phantom9252]

@Vange1us so he's a plant?

[gessnesse]

@Vange1us ha ha sperm joke. but srsly

[FAPorDIE]

@Vange1us DOES THAT MEAN HIS JIZZ!!!!!?!??!?!?

[berserk2112]

@zombieemperor Watch Agito! and then you will know! Its guyver esque you could say

[zombieemperor]

i dont know who guyer is but how the fuck do i watch a show iv never seen or herd of outside this review

[berserk2112]

The internet is a vast wonderland of information!

[zombieemperor]

this is true..but im busy so ill look it up laters..at this point im guessing base don what vangelus said this guy is some other guys kid

[HolySerenade]

dont u watch kamen riders??

[zombieemperor]

nope..i saw a couple episodes of dragon night..but it just looked like a new powerrangers season to me

[HolySerenade]

What the?!?! not that American Version!! =_= you should try looking for the origins of Kamen Riders,it's Jap by the way...pretty much most things are this days.

[zombieemperor]

i know i looked it up on wiki..kinda...but mor importantly i dotn have any way of watching it so its o big deal

[HolySerenade]

hmm well you could try veoh(dot)com, if you can watch it from your region, hope it works for you ^w^

[zombieemperor]

thanks il ltry when my comp is back to normal

[NarutoxDiego]

youtube has all Kamen Rider Kuuga and Agito...and most of the new series...watch Agito...if you are not hooked by the first 10 episodes then stop....I was hooked by the first 5 episodes.

[zombieemperor]

what do you meen youtube ahs them?can you send me a link to the first epsiode

[dinothunder2048]

I haven't seen this particular Kamen Rider series. Is he good or evil?

[Vange1us]

It's not very clear-cut. ;)

[Cain1134]

@Vange1us We just call him an anti-hero.

[optronixatron]

@dinothunder2048

Originally, he had this mentality that only he could save his little brother Masato. Thus is the explanation of the opening monologue. However, his brother died, and he believed the other Agitos would, thus he started killing the other Agitos. He eventually realized the truth and fought on the side of good.

[nightslash3535]

Evil at first, then turned good towards the end until he died.

[sphinx13]

another agito is one of my all time favs in the new generation of riders, thought of getting this toy but don't want to open up another line of purchase ( i almost got all trans-armors and quite a lot of sic)... but guess i'll need to find myself one another agito. thanx a lot for the review!

[flashboy95]

erm..do the new shfiguart such as decade hav metal part?

[berserk2112]

Would you reccomend regular Agito?

[Vange1us]

He's a solid representation, I'd just say he loses a point for his miniscule number of hand choices. Still definitely worth it if you like Agito, just not as worth it as some others in value. :D

[berserk2112]

Ahh. What Im really lookin for is an agito with swappable arms for his forms. Know of any?

[Vange1us]

The only one I can think of is the souchaku henshin Agito series, but they're extremely dated-looking toys compared to Figuarts

[berserk2112]

Thanks! I found the SIC Agito to serve my wants quite well! Looking foward to some more rider soon!!

[ZakuMatt]

Judging by his head sculpt, Another Agito reminds me more of a moth

[ericard7]

Another Agito is actually Old Agito.

Another nostalgic type of masked rider followed of Shocker Riders since it isn't close related to Kamen Rider Agito.

[shazamman25]

man i want punch hopper and another agito

[neehawk777]

"coming down from a huge jump." or hanging on the ceiling.

[neehawk777]

Because Kino-san is ninja like that!!!!!!!

[kamadoma]

awesome review, I'm definitely getting one!

Anyway, is the toy pure diecast? I heard that Figuarts have diecast feet for more stability, did Another Agito have diecast feet?

[Vange1us]

Another Agito is a unique case in that he has no diecast at all, but lots of paint apps and a bit of gloss coat on several parts.

[thefatman69dude]

Hey vangelus u should check out the new rising kuuga form coming out on figuarts I just preordered it, it looks so freaking awesome

[AliveStorm93]

Vangelus, I take it that Kino-san isn't a Christian Bale fan?

[Blitzwinger]

Vangelus i was wondering which series of kamen rider is a good one to start with?

[Clawshrimpy]

Hey, Vangelus, I had a question, I'm personally a big Kamen RIder Den-O fan, and I was wondering which Den-O toys are worth getting, I'm just a bit comfused, as Den-O as my friend put it, "The Carranger of KR" and had a lot of product, SO I could use some help. Thanks!

[revengeofthefallen13]

hello mr vage1usi was wondering if you could send me a link to the ebay user if you used ebay because it says on ebay it doesnt have the hands and head but it stil says s.h.figuarts on it though

[jigglejac]

are yu geting the agito figure

[thefatman69dude]

God I want the new drake figure coming out soon

[bleach22]

That is one badass Figuarts Figure. It's amazing how much detail and articulation is on this guy. It does suit him since he has a very natural, organic look. I want him soooooo much!!! wah!!!

[StriderSoze]

I've got the SIC it's really pretty but cant do much and falls apart easily, Im definitely gonna pick one of these up as its one of the best rider desings IMO.

Its a crying shame that the suit was destroyed.

[Vange1us]

It was whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat

[StriderSoze]

Yeah Another Agito and Gills' first form rotted away because of damp storage or something (I dont know the details)

It's why we only got Exceed Gills in Decade.

[Oluk360]

Yeah, but they could always just remake them if they needed to. For example, look at BLACK RX's suits in the latest Decade episode. They're in too good a condition to be the original 20-plus year old suits, especially considering the majority of the RX and Bio Rider suits were foam.

[Marc87dk]

Very good review. I have this figure too, and you are absolutely right - It is beyond awsome. You just can't stop looking at it.

As others have said, you should do series reviews as well. I think you are doing a great job. heck, if you can't remember the show well, then why not do a DVD commentary on some episodes? I for one would find it fun and interesting.

[Skiks]

Btw if you get Agito Ground form Black and Black RX share the same hand sculpt as him. So you could borrow them for the pre kick pose.

[GoRyder]

You've convinced me to it. :D

I saw Figuart Another Agito the other day in a toy mall but I got Revoltech Gurren instead. So many other Figuarts too, Black , Black RX , The Hoppers, but I couldn't decide which to get.

[Shadowgodzillarunt]

DO WANT!!

no

MUST WANT!!

[NamelessHenchman4]

"Piccolo"

"Characters I don't care about"

*RAGE*

[vonrojas]

That is one narly looking bad ass dude. Too bad I have absolutly no idea what Karman Rider is, lol

[AMKALOS21]

that reminds me of a show i use to watch when i was younger called Masked Rider

are they the same

[Oluk360]

Masked Rider was a (horrible, HORRIBLE) American adaptation of the (legendary) series Kamen Rider BLACK RX.

Also, Tachibana, Kino... how many Rider man-crushes does The Subtitles have?

[AMKALOS21]

do they have kamen rider shows still today

[821Drifter128]

yup, kamen rider and masked rider are the same.

[Vange1us]

Nooooo

[primal2020]

oh really,because i always thought that they were.

huh.well,geuss that explains all those transformations

[Keroshino]

the Subtitles would like to have a word with you..comparing Kamen Rider to Power Rangers >:(

[primal2020]

the only reason i said that was on account i thought they were guys in suits

[kuroancorp]

Good review, Vang.

Agito Ground form is okay, but it still pisses me off about having only ONE EXTRA PAIR OF HANDS!! I said it in my typed-up review of SHF Agito review, but you really have to be a hardcore Agito fan to get Agito Ground Form SHF.

[lazerlemons]

Well, you could make 8 pairs of hands. You know, the splayed open fingers curled hand and the fist hand make one pair, splayed open calm and splayed open fingers curled make another, etc. etc. So technically, Vangelus was right about the number of pairs of hands.

[thefatman69dude]

I just got another agito and i got agito, and as awesome as agito is this toy just blew my mind when i opened him, he is without a doubt the greatest toy i have ever purchased. I messed with him for like three hours when i opened him, i was just blown away with the detail. I was like wtf, this is amazing. the thing that got to me was his back, the angel wing things that hold the clothe is just, ughhh I love this toy. agito is cool but this toy is just so good.

[ShockGuey5173]

SC Transformers Subtitles

[kinglaffo]

HEARTBEATS RIP-OFF PINK FLOYD (in joke, I apologize)

Ladies and gentlemen, this is internet personality King Laffo and I just followed Vangelus as he updated ABOUT watching Kamen Rider Agito on Twitter. Wuuuut

Cool bitness, tis on the future buy list. But don't hold me to it :(

[Vange1us]

It's going on record!!

[kinglaffo]

NOOOOoooooooooooo

[anderson1939]

Oh man , Kamen Rider figures is way too awesome , with alot of P.O.A. , durability and in-depth paint apps this is a must have , awesome review V.

[Buzzbeak]

Not enough to get me wanting to get involved with Kamen Rider but interested enough to see what other figures Figuarts have out.

[ZakuMatt]

Im really tempted to watch Kamen Rider now

[ziusudra42]

Now I really wish I had pre-ordered him on HLJ. I haven't even seen much of Agito, but this guy is several kinds of awesome.

[thinkofaname4me]

holy crap, although I haven't seen KR Agito, this figure alone looks absolutely marvelous! adn the poses you pullid with him - WOW. I'm amazed, that it's actually possible to make such a figure, I haven't seen anything like that before.

I second the question asked by Sleepy0Wolf - where did you see Agito (and was it subbed)?

[Vange1us]

There's a thread on HenshinJustice with megaupload links to rips of the CruelAngel fansubs.

[HenshinHaro]

This guy looks way better than the SIC version, and seems to not suffer from some of the bad proportions of other Figuarts (I hope the fix small head issue the recently revealed Showa Riders have). Been meaning to get him. Hopefully soon.

[Paxtin]

Anorexic wast line?...lol Whoever is useing this critique obviously doesn't know what real anorexia looks like.

Honestly it looks like a rather average wast line. At least for an action figure.

[Sleepy0Wolf]

Where did you see Agito? 'Cuz seriously, that Kamen Rider series looks pretty awesome, and I've only seen like..... three episodes.

[BSamurai0]

You answered my prayers, lol.

[BIPTrooper]

very nice review, where you get your kaman Riders From?

[cyroblaze518]

theres different kamen riders on youtube so which is the very 1st one? i would like to start watching it. seems like a japaneese version of power rangers

[hobbitninja]

The Very first one would be the original Kamen rider from the 80's

No subs sadly.  There is a DVD set for the second series, V3 though

[HenshinHaro]

The original Kamen Rider came out in 1971 actually. There have only been maybe 4 episodes with English fansubs as far as I know. V3 kicks ass though.

[Vange1us]

His display stand is like his cockpit VR kungfu pad thing, I think

[Keroshino]

pretty much...lol

[CriFresh]

I'm gonna hold out for G3.

Sorry AA, you're just not enough of a normal human.

[Vange1us]

I swear if G3 gets screwed for accessories, I will...write an angry twitter message or something

[troyburger]

the balemaster makes his cunning return!

[Sora1248]

y dont you say how much it is?

[Vange1us]

It didn't occur to me to, haha

He's around 30-35ish

[Sora1248]

Wow..seems steep. Im as much a rider fan as anyone but that seems steep considering the size of the figure and the lack of a stand for posing. Iv bin seeing this weird trend with what looks to me like over pricing. Its bin happening with some others. And ebay hasnt helped. What are your thoughts on it Vange1us? (have u noticed this "trend" also or is it just me?)

[Vange1us]

The sculpting quality, layered parts, durability, and in-depth paint apps all made the price worth it to me.

[Sora1248]

ill give you that, but i think it would have bin nice if it had a stand, nothing super fancy. Just a stick with something to hold the figure. but you do have a point. Its a really good mold and sculpt. Just wish other figures had that much attention to detail

[StriderSoze]

When the signature move is a flying kick you really do need a stand.

[Keroshino]

I have it...it ROCKS!!!

[darfjono]

KAMEN RIDER BALEMASTER.

fund it.

[Vange1us]

I'd buy the DVD

[Scy48]

Isn't it just 4 PAIRS of hands, and 8 individual ones?

[Vange1us]

You are quite seriously the only person who informed me about this. o_O Annotation'd

[Akiyama4711]

dammit! now I have to hunt down the Agito figuarts. I was going to skip em because it didn't look like a G3 or Gills were coming out. So I went ahead and preordered me the rest of the Kabuto riders.

[dyemooch]

Haha! Your video reviews are always so incredible! I wonder if there is an S.H. Figuarts of Black RX- I loved that one... nostalgia and the horrible Saban's Masked Rider show are to blame for that, mostly.

Incredible review, though!

[Vange1us]

There is an RX out...just now! XD I think his preorder is sold out on HLJ, but it looks like Angolz still has him available.

[dyemooch]

What!? Now I'm off to check this out. You are my best friend in the world now.

[CuriousVelveteen]

That...that is a beautiful toy! *_* I'm not even a big Kamen Rider fan and I'm fighting the urge to get him.

Now if only there was an S.H.Figuarts Chalice... I'd snap that up in a heartbeat! (I loves me some mantises, yessss) Of course, I don't know if they'd ever consider making toys from the Blade series, so...

Out of curiosity, Vangelus, which Kamen Rider series is your favourite?

[Vange1us]

Right now, Agito then Blade

[trewerd]

Lol, I got a flash of Yoko on your desk during the last couple of seconds.

[Fieryone233]

That is a awesome figure Vange1us.

I want to buy it so much, but damn my lack on cash flow. D:

-Also, you've actually increased my interest in watching Kamen Rider. Could I ask your thoughts on a good series to start on for my First Kamen Rider?

[kaizer3000]

I'd recommend start with a easy goin, comedy Kamen Rider : Kamen Rider Den-O....

that is perhaps the most funny series ever for Kamen Rider world...

[Vange1us]

Aye try out Den-O, it tends to either really work or really not for people. Kabuto is also fairly beloved, and Ryuki's got a decent following.

[Maverick626]

so awesome ...but when are they going to make some kabuto´s SICs!!!

[vectremy]

Curse you vangelus.. now i'm inclined to get another agito!! i already have the ground form, and yes i'm displeased with the lack of accessories, however he's a must have to stand alongside the other heisei riders.. and now i feel like getting ANOTHER agito after watching your review.. ANOTHER agito... oh gawd.. my wallet.. my lil wallet... T.T

[Vange1us]

Every day I consider racking up some creditcard debt to order KuugaMighty and Agito. ;_;

[KamenRiderTrailer]

Another Agito simply pwns

[bigdonkey14]

i have interest in the line. but not interest in this figure itself

is there anysort of comprehensive list where i can view all the figures with pictures?

[Vange1us]

I actually don't know. :O I've not seen one.

[bigdonkey14]

curses. i'll just have to do broad ebay searches then

or view the wiki page and have google images on a second tab :/

[xxNONGERxx]

nice figure

[BeauregardBlakk]

Subtitles sure are tsundere for Kino-san!

Great review! Can you give me some secret hints where i can find some of this delicious plastic crack, bitte? :D

[Vange1us]

I think everywhere except for Angolz is sold out of him right now

[Cristidfs]

Freaking Cool Figure!

[TheGreatMrChibi]

Wow, that's a cool toy. Maybe you can review the series too? I'd love to hear your thoughts on it!

[Vange1us]

I've kinda been considering it, but I'm worried I'll misremember details.  D:

[TheGreatMrChibi]

But that's the beauty of it! Its such an older series with such a strange fansub release, there can only be two possibilities with your audience: Either they will have never seen the show, or they'll totally misremember along with you!

[SPX04]

The figuarts, so expensive yet so addictive D: I can't get enough of them, doesn't help a brickload of them are coming soon and I'm in a dilema, especially with another agito, black and black RX all being out right now *__*

Also Agito does indeed rock, hope they make a Gills one soon.

[navigatorhat]

lol

Damn I now want to review my Gattack and add more to the Kabuto Figarts collection.

Of course I want all of them but Tendou and Yagaruma are top of my priority list :)

WAGA TOMO....

[SEANxLONG]

EPIC=This Review :)

[GWolfV2]

I've decided the subtitles are really Ceaser Romero. Which would explain why they talk such bollocks :D

[rename12345]

TOH!!!!!!!!!!!! =)))

[CaptainComicbook]

he's alittle to buggy for me, but i'm glad you like him sir! my KA-GA-MI is still my fav :)

[NemesisPredaking]

I'm always impressed by how your reviews can draw my interest into a line outside of Transformers.

I almost enjoy your non-Transformers reviews better, because of it.

[Touya82TT]

And with THIS hand I make SHADOW PUPPETS!

[Alphaxos]

nice, keep the KR reviews coming! AGITO NEXT! AGITO! (or a kuuga form, lol)

[Vange1us]

I don't actually have either.  :( Hoping to order Agito and Kuuga Mighty next month.

[megrimlockisking]

oh, wait.how about the hoppers?
