B-Robo Kabutack Yuujou Commander ビーロボカブタック 友情コマンダー

There just may be worse toys out there...but I really hope I don't end up buying them...

This is the Yuujou Commander from B-Robo Kabutack...or Kabutacku...or Kabutak...or Kabutaku...or whatever.

The show itself is infact considered a Toei Metal Hero series [and so is the series after this: Robotack]. While the themes are more childish and the robots themselves aren't piloted by a human, this series is also vaguely related to B-Fighter and BF Kabuto as a semi-sequel.

This toy is supposed to be used as a remote control of sorts for Kabutack. It has a small light and numerous sounds that work based on a microphone.

Too bad the toy is complete rubbish.

I've owned two of these hunks of crap and neither has work. The one used in this review was BRAND NEW. Completely unopened and untouched since it left Bandai's factory over ten years ago. Not even using three different brands of batteries got this working. Awful awful.

The late 90s wasn't the best time for Bandai's toys. There was a real shaky period of quality between 1995-1997 when toy production shifted from Japan to China. This is, by far, the worst offender of these changes that i've run into so far. That's not to say that all toys were terrible...they just fell way short of expectations. Regardless, Bandai has left this slump and moved forward since.

I hope you enjoyed this harsh review of a bad toy. I'll be back soon with the next Gekiranger review.

Thanks! Be sure to subscribe!
