Shurato Kidslogic Combat Nations 02: Yasha-Oh Gai Review

Going back-to-back after Shura-Oh Shurato, here is the second and final review of the Kids Logic Shurato lineup: Yasha-Oh Gai!

Compared to my copy of Shurato, Yasha-Oh Gai has remained in noticeably better condition over the years, making it a more satisfying piece to revisit as a collector. That said, it still shares many of the same limitations as its counterpart, particularly in terms of articulation and overall playability.

Ultimately, I decided to part with both of these rare Shurato figures, which I originally acquired during my student days in Beijing. There were several reasons behind this decision. Most notably, Kids Logic never continued the lineup beyond these releases, leaving little hope for a complete collection.

In contrast, Yolopark has offered a more modern alternative with improved engineering and a stronger commitment to completing the cast. Given the value these figures provided relative to the space they occupied in my collection, I no longer had a compelling reason to keep them. Fortunately, I was able to find a fellow collector who was willing to give them a new home.

As a character, Yasha-Oh Gai serves as an excellent foil to Shurato in this short-lived lineup. Once Shurato's closest friend, Gai eventually turns against him after falling under the influence of evil forces. His eventual redemption and decision to aid Shurato in the finale remains one of the more memorable emotional moments of the series, even if its execution was not always as strong as it could have been.

Interestingly, I chose to skip Yolopark's version of Gai, as I have focused primarily on collecting the protagonist side of the Shurato cast. That said, if I come across a reasonably priced copy in the future, I may still consider adding him to the collection.

Shurato Kidslogic Combat Nations 01: Shura-Oh Shurato Review

Shurato Kidslogic Combat Nations 01: Shura-Oh Shurato

Finally, I get to revisit one of my older collections that has been sitting in storage for more than ten years: the Shurato die-cast action figure from Hong Kong-based manufacturer Kids Logic.

Given the less-than-ideal storage conditions, my copy has suffered some noticeable degradation over the years. Nonetheless, I wanted to take one last look at what this series has to offer before parting with it.

Overall, Kids Logic followed a design philosophy similar to the Saint Seiya SCM lineup, featuring articulated action figures with removable die-cast armor parts. As a result, this figure shares many of the same shortcomings as the SCM series, most notably its limited articulation and posing capabilities.

Beyond the posing issues, my copy has also developed noticeable yellowing despite never being exposed to direct sunlight. While yellowing is a common problem for predominantly white plastic figures, it remains disappointing to see it affect a collectible of this caliber. This was ultimately one of the main reasons I decided to let go of the series.

On the bright side, the Yolopark AMK Pro lineup appears to address many of the engineering and articulation issues that plagued the Kids Logic release. I'm looking forward to exploring those improvements in a future review.

Tenku Senki Shurato Yolopark AMK Pro Karura-O Reiga

After Yasha-O Gai, Yolopark returns once again to the Shurato series, this time bringing the Hachibushu Karura-O Reiga into its AMK Pro lineup. With this release, Yolopark moves one step closer to completing a full lineup from Tenku Senki Shurato. The AMK Pro Karura-O Reiga is scheduled for a Q3 2026 release and will retail at approximately 65 USD.

In the Shurato series, Reiga is one of the more flamboyant members of the Hachibushu, a group of devoted warriors empowered by Shakti to protect Lady Vishnu and Tenkūkai. Despite his playful and lighthearted demeanor, Reiga is still a fully capable warrior who fights with seriousness when the situation demands it. He wields the Shakti known as Karura-O, derived from the mythological Garuda, the divine mount of Lord Vishnu in Hindu mythology. Compared to other Hachibushu members, Karura-O Reiga stands out for his wider range of techniques, particularly through his twin-ring chakram weapons.

As with previous releases, I expect Yolopark to deliver strong quality with Karura-O Reiga, continuing the solid work seen in earlier Shurato figures. I’m also looking forward to Ten-O Hyuga, my personal favorite among the Hachibushu, even though he appears to be the last releases for Shurato protagonist lineup.

Shurato Yolopark AMK Pro Yasha O Gai

The third Yolopark AMK Pro release for Shurato is here! After Ryoma received his turn last time, this one is reserved for the antagonist side: Yasha O Gai. While fans are still waiting for the protagonist Hachibushu, Yolopark made the right move by reuniting Shurato’s best friend and rival so quickly. Scheduled for Q2 2026, AMK Pro Yasha O Gai will retail for $60 USD.

Yasha O Gai was Shurato’s childhood friend and martial arts partner before they were transported into Tenkukai. Later, Shurato discovered that Yasha had been kidnapped by another entity and turned evil. Among the Hachibushu, Gai is the only one who remains antagonistic until the end of the series, when he ultimately sacrifices his power to Shurato, allowing him to wield God Brahma’s power. While Shurato is a flawed adaptation of Hindu lore, Yasha O Gai still serves as a strong and memorable antagonist.

Like Ryoma, Gai comes with two body frames: one for his casual outfit and another for his armored form. While KidsLogic released a rendition of Yasha O Gai years ago, Yolopark is the clear choice for the best playability. Even if it doesn’t feature the die-cast armor gimmick of the SCM line, Yolopark delivers superior articulation and quality, making it feel more like a proper action figure.

End Year 2025 Loot

Wrapping up the end of 2025 with a bang! there’s really no better way to close out this year's rollercoaster ride with a proper loot post! This entry is a particularly big one, as it represents the accumulated hauls from the past three months, with equally solid from both Chinese and Japanese hobby products.

As you may have noticed, this loot photo was taken at new place, making it the first haul post after completing the move into my new apartment, an exciting milestone in its own right. It feels especially satisfying to unpack and photograph everything in a new space.

Overall, this is a very solid haul. While the May loot still  the most wallet-breaking one, this one is no less impressive in terms of both quantity and quality. The undisputed stars of the haul are the 1/7 Aniplex Arcueid and CCS Studio Alteisen. Close behind are the Apex Studio 1/7 Chen Alter, Gattai Granbird, and Yolopark Shurato Ryoma, all of which make a strong showing. On the Chinese hobby side, Soskill B-Duck is every bit as massive as expected, and JoyToy’s 1/24 Mecha stands out with particularly unusual packaging this time around. I’m curious to see whether future releases will follow this same design direction.

Lastly, I’m very glad I managed to secure the 30 Minutes Fantasy Liber Lancer and Wizard kits at a relatively affordable price, especially since preorders were unavailable for reasons still unclear. With the move now complete, I’m hoping this new transition will free up a bit more personal time—though, as usual, my work life remains as hectic as ever.

Shurato Yolopark AMK Pro Ryu O Ryoma

 I think it is almost one year since Yolopark released their first Shurato action figure. This July, Yolopark announced the second AMK Pro action figure for Shurato which is the Dragon Lord, Ryoma! I already thought Gai or Hyuga had the good shot for 2nd Shurato AMK PRO, but Ryoma is a good choice nonetheless. Scheduled for Q3 2025 release, AMK Pro Ryu O Ryoma will be sold for 65 USD Price Tag.

I had the opportunity of sampling Shurato's AMK Pro from winning giveaway last year and I would say it has superior playability compared to Bandai's SCM or Armor Plus as Yolopark went on pragmatic route to make a product with good articulation by eschewing wearable armor gimmick. Just like Shura O Shurato, I am expecting Ryoma will be fun to pose as well, It is just that the Dragon head piece doesn't seem to be openable to replicate the fire breath gimmick.

Back when I was a Kid, Ryoma is probably my favorite Hachibushu due to his Dragon motifs before my preference end up with Hyuga. Among the Hachibushu, Ryoma is one of the most bro tier member of the elite warriors, possessing a Big heart. Among the Loyalist Hachibushu, Ryoma probably is the tankiest one sporting heavier armor configuration and armed with Trident and Shield which enables better defensive combat style. AMK Pro Ryu O Ryoma is certainly a worthy addition for Shurato Fans as Yolopark do try their best to deliver a product from their skillset. 

Shurato Yolopark AMK Pro Shura Oh Shurato

 Abandoned by their own Japanese creators for so long, Tenku Senki Shurato got yet another chance again by Chinese manufacturers! Renowned for their Transformers model kit portfolio, Yolopark decided to give Shurato series a try and the result appear to look impressive! Released as part of AMK lineup which apparently an abbreviation of "Assembled Model Kit" Yolopark Shurato will be scheduled for Q4 2024 release with 65 USD price tag though the Japanese release cost almost 20000 Yen most likely due to licensing nonsense.

Despite the product is designated as Modelkit, Yolopark AMK Shurato is actually preassembled like Saint Seiya and Yoroiden Diecast product. It is just that Shurato's main body unit are separated like some sort of crime victim for some reason and just require some minor Snap Fit. The sculpt Quality is no doubt very good which is evident with Yolopark's experience in the industry. Few years ago a Chinese company called Dasin did have a go with Shurato, but Yolopark definitely wins out this time. If I didn't have the Kidslogic diecast which still remained untouched to this day, I would have certainly picked Shurato. As for the 20000 Yen price tag nonsense for Japan release, Tatsunoko are just behaving like a goddamn parasite despite never bother to work on Shurato IP for more than 30 years.

KidsLogic Shurato Action Figure Get!

 I think i have been seeing some new Shurato toys few years ago but not too observant about it. After some random lurking on Taobao, from some impulse buy decision i got myself Shura-Oh Shurato and Yasha-Oh Gai for 600 RMB or roughly 50 USD each. These Shurato Action Figures apparently made by KidsLogic, a Hongkong based Toy Company which surprised me for many reasons. On the first glance these Shurato Action Figure are on par with Bandai's Armor Plus with some metal parts for the armor though it could have more face sculpts in the package. These Shurato Action Figures can be bought from Kids Logic Website for 84 USD but  Taobao usually sold them slightly cheaper around 340 RMB. To me the Shurato anime was a disappointment with so much potential wasted but that doesn't prevent me to like the aesthetics of the series. I really wonder if Kidslogic are going to make more of Action Figures for Shurato since i would welcome other Hachibushu to my collection especially Ten-Oh Hyuga.

Tenku Senki Shurato

Revised January 2026

Shurato was one of those old anime I watched as a kid and it’s the kind of show I now think should have stayed there. I had high hopes for the series before revisiting it, but it’s easy to see why Shurato never became a major hit.
