The Rise And Fall Of The SHOGUN WARRIORS | Vintage Henshin EXTRA

A subject voted on by the Vintage Henshin Patreon!

But what is the legacy of this toy line? Its history? Its future?! Special extended thanks to Smug King for uploading the full Chogokin Demo Video. Check the episode cards for the full video!
