BETTER THAN PEOPLE THINK!!! | S.H. Figuarts Gear 5 Luffy COMPLETE REVIEW and Bendy Wire STRESS TEST!

I know I said I'd get this out wednesday but I was having some rendering issues using a former video editor. Videos audio is a little louder than expected so sorry for that lol, I hope you enjoy!

Really appreciate this video!! Great work and this is the stuff we need to know before deciding to spend 80-100 on a figure!

Really can't thank you enough for making this video. Just got my Gear 5 Luffy in and was hella afraid of posing him. I'm just a casual, "leave posed on the shelf guy," so this is perfect for me. Thanks again.

Bro I love your video and how you try to be impartial about your comments... I see a lot of people complaint about the figure but I do not see that bad how they want the figure to be. Thanks!

I have marvel legends Mr Fantastic with bendy wire limbs from ToyBiz era. It still fine. That must be close to 20 years old by now. So, it should be okay.

1:09 I’m only into the review a bit but I wanna give me piece on this You’re honestly not putting the figure on a pedestal. You’re not milking the hype or anything. You’re being realistic with your expectations as an experienced figure collector and it should be obvious to anyone who purchased this figure what they were getting themselves into. I deliberately avoided this figure because I wanted to see what the reviews looked like and how people actually took notice of the figures construction as well as its capabilities. But I have found many just bashing the figure because the rubber legs/arms don’t hold the pose as much, or the cloud getting in the way etc. things that make sense but ultimately are nothing-burgers as it’s to be expected of the design. Like any and ALL figures that have come out and will ever come out…there are things this figure does well and things it doesn’t. For me, as the first attempt at Gear 5, this figure captures Joy Boy absolutely perfectly. The face sculpts alone sell the figure and easily make it a 7.5/10 and a solid 8/10 if you know the hacks to make it pose even better (without mods) Obviously they could’ve included articulated arms and legs, but as vetted SHF customers….we should be horribly familiar with Tamashis game and know they WILL sell an articulated-limb version in the future. It’s inevitable(insert thanos meme) But anyways. Thank you Burst for this review, ima enjoy it and glad to hear you are enjoying this figure too Happy collecting my man 🙏

Imagine a gear 4 with bendy wire

I had a buddy that says the wire in the leg broke on him. I just bought this figure and now ima a bit worried

I've seen people saying you can use the long arms with the Onigashima Luffy, like, the skin colored part is swappable, is that true? Nice review, way more informative than any other I've seen so far!

Number one from Indonesian

Getting new forms of the big 3 this year is so fire. KCM 2 Naruto Gear 5 Luffy and Dual Zangetsu Ichigo. Definitely still favor Naruto most but this figure is so fire can’t wait for mine to arrive. And Ichigo also looks amazing can’t wait for him.

Wow nice figure

i love the figure but i still hope bandai or another company decide to do a kit with normal legs and arms just in case but overal its a really good figure and honestly think the bendy wires will last a good time (specially if you take care of them and not force them a lot) nice video by the way

Ok, planning to get this still Will definitely be doing some modifications on my copy like trimming the shorts flap and will carve out more range for the ball on the underside of the ab piece hopefully allowing some more range. I really think the normal size limbs could've been articulated like budget Luffy with the long one being bendy i only prefer it because of longevity. I would be scared pulling this out of a years storage just to see its ruined while muddy every other figure is fine. I also don't like that they skin tone is slightly different, i noticed when you had the foot swapped?

Bro I want that 😭

W

Looks like a great figure, too bad it's sold out most places. Kinda want one even though I don't collect the One Piece line.

I want that fig

Where to purchase?

You think you can swap the lower half of the torso to have that range for the abs?
