FROST LIGHT - Epic Viking Transformer [Toys Alliance ARCHECORE Review]

Here's FROST LIGHT - an EPIC Viking Transformer. The Toys Alliance 1/35 ARCHE-YMIRUS TYPE-03 AY-03F FROST LIGHT is from the original ARCHECORE line. It's a combination of Warhammer 40k, Norse / Viking mythology, and a certain franchise about Robots in Disguise...Transformers

It's really cool seeing a new IP developed from scratch that creates transforming figures. The creative freedom that seems to be a direct result of NOT having to adhere to 45 year old designs from an 80's cartoon is truly staggering, I may pick up this figure for myself.

[Coramelimane]

That has got to be one of the simplest, but most satisfying looking transformation I have ever seen on this channel.

[daltonwilliams]

Love frost light. I really want to see more original designs like this in the fandom instead of another 30 Optimus, megatron, starscream, bee, Soundwave, etc in the same artstyle over and over again.

Good to see jobby getting satisfied by this easy transformation
*unlike his previous review*

[basicfacekick]

I love that Toys Alliance went from those licensed Transformers figures to their own property, AND they nailed it. It's sad we never got a MAS Soundwave ... but getting some kick ass transformable W40K viking robot stuff more than makes up for it.

7:35 I believe the reason the arms ratchet downwards is so it can hold the pretty heavy weapons without the arm dipping down over time.

Jobby is literally the only person who makes me want to keep watching the ad segment of the video because they're always different with unique jokes and not the bland usual copy paste script/audio like other videos.

JOBBY Q/A PORTION:

Question: What is the appeal of mecha?


Jobby: There is a tendency for men to be interested in tools, in machinery, in cars. I think the obsession with mecha is an extension of that. Not saying that women can't be obsessed with mecha as well.

The interest in things as opposed to interest in people.

the simplicity of how everything just falls right into place with the transformation felt really enjoyable

[vietcong]

A phenomenal figure and great review. A word of warning on Frost Light. The top of the cab was too tight on mine. Opening it up in truck mode for the first time put stress on the hinge. Close it during transformation and don’t ever open it again. This piece is very important. If it breaks you won’t be able to connect the top half to the bottom in robot mode.

Combiner mode: the plastic part in the shoulder ratchet that flex. They aren’t strong enough to hold a pose well with the wolf hanging on it. Let alone with the giant axe. There is a reason the combined promo images never show it doing a dynamic pose with the axe.

This makes me want another third party company to take the original Transformers designs and remake them in a style that works just as well as this figure. Imagine a G1 inspired Optimus Prime or Megatron that isn’t perfectly accurate, yet is still recognizable, but has near perfect robot and vehicle modes like Frost Light does

[Chrisack]

Frost light looks pretty rad!! It’s nice to see some original non-transformers transforming figures of such high quality!

[Xenobears]

If you like integrating accessories as a necessary part of transformation, check out the TFC Toys Tyrant (totally not Megatron, honest!).

I think one of my favorite things about that figure is that it not only looks like a GI Joe/Transformers crossover figure, but it has an alternative faceplate to make him look like Cobra Commander.

He is a tad pricey, though.

[TheManOfMyriad]

Easily one of the best figures you've ever reviewed! Absolutely something to put on my list to find. After my Thunder Erebus Snapped in half a week out the box with no repair, replacement or refund available I could use something else to decorate my shelves! - Just saw the combiner at the end... P L E A S E

[THEWLFBY]

I love this aesthetic of this figure. Like you said, blocky but incredibly detailed mechanically! So glad that the Bumblebee movie went down this road, hope they continue it in the next movie!

[LuqmanHakim-xiqz]

I love Jobby's eternal rage and contempt on the Bumblebee figure

[maxoyew]

The fact that it can hold this pose 8:14 by itself is crazy

[cibor]

Daaamn man, the whole line seems an amazing project. Creating new characters that can actually be themselves instead of naming them different. Don't get me wrong, 3rd party figures are great, but there is also the itch for something like this: original IPs. Also beast box, those are great.

[hustle_simmons]

Been wanting this one for a while. I love the idea behind it. We need more original transforming figure lines like this.
