Achieving beyond the barriers between Japan and the United States!! Crowdfunding [Hasbro crowdfunding product] Transformers Victory Saber Scheduled to be shipped in the second half of 2022 26950 yen
Perhaps because of the growing popularity of Japanese Transformers overseas, a remake of Victory Saber was realized as a large-scale crowdfunding project led by overseas. The product is in the format of the current Generation “Transformers Legacy”. Transformation. gimmicks, styling, movement, etc. will be updated with modern technology. Cleared the number of orders set as a stretch goal, and comes with a V-lock cannon, a stand, a shield used in the final episode of the anime, and 2 micro Transformers. The package with the Transformers Legacy logo may be proof that the Japanese Transformers is also recognized as one universe.
▼ Attached shield. There is a device on the back that allows you to set weapons.
▲ With the stand and effects attached. The volume of Star Saber is equivalent to Leader class toy, and the volume of Victory Leo is equivalent to Voyager class toy. The size of the V-Rock Cannon also stands out.
▼ Hori (right) and Fire redecos from the Siege Rescue Patrol.
▲ Star Saber and Victory Leo Victory combine to create the “Ultimate Supreme Commander Victory Saber” form. The toy released in 1989 was a masterpiece that became a big hit at the time. It is also worth mentioning that it is a newly developed all-original Japanese Transformer, while it is based on the modification of the master version of Optimus Prime.
Super huge jet mode. The V-Lock Cannon has a different mounting position from the G1 version toy.
A large jet form that combines Saber and V-Star.
▼ Brain of Courage. Despite its extremely small size, Saber’s face is mounted on the back in a folded form, reproducing the gimmick where the face appears when the brain is set.
A small jet that transforms into Saber. Brain fits in the cockpit.
The movable performance of Saber is also outstanding.
Thorough reproduction of the hero of justice, Star Saber!
▲ A shield can be attached to the fire base.
A fire base with a V star can also be reproduced.
The G1 version toy is a flagship item in 1989. Based on the concept of using the Super Ginrai system on an airplane, a mechanism was planned in which a small jet piloted by the Brain Master and a V-Star were combined. In recent years, he has been active in IDW comics, and is a character that has been recognized overseas. In this Generations version, the gimmick is fully reproduced as much as possible. The blade of the Saber Blade is stored in the right leg.
Victory Leo is also born in Generations!!
Armed Knight Victory Leo
The form of God Ginrai reincarnated by the science of Planet V. Even in the Generations version, it transforms into a lion and a jet booster, and is combined with Victory as a power-up part on the backpack and ankle of Star Saber. V-lock cannon can be attached to each part.
▲Lion mode.
▲Jet booster.

The back butterfly joint to me seems to be included to compensate the low side arm raise angle as with it back you can swing the arm higher.
Still doesn't explain why they couldn't do it regularly though.
Bravemaximike
How are those butterfly joints for you?
Both the forward and backward movements?
seems like they may help give some pretty nice posing options….
Valkysas
He is a swordsman. A sword is his primary weapon. Shoulder articulation should reflect that.

I mean I don't need a full 90 but more than 45 would be nice. Point his gun at a wider angle to his side

OK, Hasbro, I gave up and backed Deathsaurus already. You can ship my Victory Saber now…

I get that it’s a bummer that seems like it would’ve been easy for them to fix or avoid, but unless someone’s planning an Ultraman-esque ‘crucified Star Saber’ display, I can’t really think of a pose that would need his arms to swing out that far anyway
rosesstormbringer
Sigh. I knew this was coming, but it's an arm design I always hate. See also: the various Ultra Magnus toys that operate on Star Saber's principle here.
Valkysas
Yeah, I caught this back when they first showed off the prototype. When they did the hands on video they made sure not to show how far the outward shoulder joint went.
Pixelmaster
Ok this is driving me nuts
Haslab Star Saber can’t swing his arms sideways, because for some reason they didn’t bother having a panel like Siege Prime’s shoulders, and the butterfly joint only goes forwards and backwards so that means that ER Prime has a higher outward arm movement

FedEx has never been my preferred shipper. They always seem to have an estimate that'd take longer than USPS or UPS, miss their initial date, but still tell you it was "on time" because it came on the revised date, and that's at best. At worst they delivered a $2000 laptop I'd ordered to a different house in my neighborhood with no signature.
Anyway… I'm still in the "unfulfilled" gang. I really want this in-hand before I back Deathsaurus, too, so I'm pretty much guaranteed to be last.

And I'm not quite sure what the hell happened. Before the pandemic FedEx was my preferred shipper. I was consistently getting pages before the estimated delivery date. Once the pandemic hit though, they totally went to shit. For 3 years now I have not gotten a packaged on the estimated delivery date. I mean that's not what the tracking will indicate. They're always "delivered" on the date, yet no where around my house at all….but then seem to "magically show up" the next day or so.

I'm in the same club, you, me, and Fedex with a label created waiting for someone at Hasbro to slap it on a box.
All joking aside, that's how I look at most paint damage.
WishfulThinking
Not sarcastic at all. Pipo and Boater need to exist with the rest of the team that comes with VS.
rosesstormbringer
Good to know this, mine is still sitting at unfulfilled.
Blitz.
Got my dispatch notice too. Feels weird finally getting it.

Interesting.

Pretty sure it was FedEx. They even left it without signature. I got home one day and the big box was just sitting there. I’m wondering if they’ll adhere to the “signature required” thing this time around.
Slimaximus
Yeah my expectations when it comes to FedEx is to just expect disappointment. By far the most inconsistent shipper and in our area the distro warehouse will easily have a package for 2-3 days before actually sending it out for delivery
shifty02
FedEx says Galaxy Shuttle should be delivered on Friday. We'll see how that goes as I have not gotten a package from FedEx on the expected delivery date since the Pandemic hit.
Victory Saber has yet to be marked as shipped, but still says it's expected to ship tomorrow. So hopefully tomorrow I'll wake up to text and emails that it's on the way.
JazzAlert13
Lmao that tracks. Btw was it shipped using Canada post?
