Finally the Goseiger Mini-Plas arrived in time as MegaForce airs! This Candy Toy Mini-Pla set is overall amazing from it being a wonderful mecha from a hated Sentai Series, to it greatly reminding me of Voltron. This mecha is overall one of my personal favorites. It's a must have Mini-Pla set too!
The Ultra Change Zord is the final Zord released in the Megaforce toyline until the Fall Line. With it you can power up Gosei Great into the Ultra Gosei Great Megazord. Interestingly enough they decided to scrap Datas Hyper out of the combination even more by making the Hyper Change Zord apart of the regular bike line. Its really weird that Bandai America decided to call it a Sea Lion when its supposed to be based on a bullet. Anyways the header itself is kind of a small piece of plastic since they scrapped the whole head transformation gimmick. Also as much as its nice they decided to sell it as a a part of the regular bike line its kind of a waste to have another remolded Knight Brothers body since its not in the show. The only purpose to buy this is if you want Hyper Gosei Great otherwise its a big pass since its pretty lame on its own sadly. I guess you could attach it to the Gosei Blaster/ Megaforce Blaster but its pretty much just combination fodder.

This Megazord had 3 Modes, Mode Blue, Mode Red and Glider mode when combined. It's a bulky design in most of it's forms but overall is pleasing. Issues tend to be loose joints, weapons coming apart or falling off and the fact it's missing its Mode Blue weapon. Personally my favorite mode is the combined jet mode, cause it looks like a future stealth bomber along with the fact it reminds me of Jetman!
Fourze's final form, as he now goes Cosmic! This edition of Fourze has gone blue like Megaman. Along with that he comes with the Barizung Sword, to defeat kaijin with the Chou Ginga Slash. It also comes with those Chick Nuggets, that I don't even care about! Anyways the figure is amazing, the Barizung Sword is cool and his chest panel is amazing!
For once after a long time Bandai of America has made a really good morpher even making it better then Japanese release. This is because the morpher has the previous seasons programmed into it as well as the specific ranger color as well. Another thing is that they kept the LED intact and thats a real rare thing for Bandai of America in general. The morpher is pretty close in scale with the Japanese Tensouder and it functions exactly the same way. It comes with 10 cards which is a plus since the Tensouder only came with five. I am glad I got this morpher because it has the be best morpher made so far just because of its functionality that even puts the mobirates to shame. The TCG sounds promising as well so far and I will gladly play it as well as using the cards for the morpher. I am impressed with what Megaforce has to offer so far and hopefully the quality of the toys will also match the show.

Back from the Christmas break so here is my review of the Power Rangers Megaforce Lion Mechazord. Megaforce isn't on air yet and still almost all of the mecha have been released which is making it hard to catch up on them. Anyways here is the Lion Mechazord or Groudion from Tensou Sentai Goseiger. The American version isn't too different from the Japanese one but they are a few minor differences which doesn't really affect it much besides the added missiles. It still has the ability to remove the lion header and the good part is that it can still turn into a Robo Knight/ Gosei Knight figure. Unfortunately I don't have the Sky or Sea Lion bikes so I can't make the real combinations but the shark and phoenix mechazords look okay as a temporary limbs. The Lion Mechazord is a pretty good alternative for Groundion so if you couldn't afford the Japanese version this one is a nice replacement.

This form of Fourze is the "attractive" Magnet States, that uses the Magphon and N/S Magnet Modules. Along with that he comes with Horuwankov and variations of the Electromagnetic Cannons. A special feature with this figure is the special made Tamashii Stage that helps to display Magnet States' Limit Break the Rider Super Electromagnetic Bomber. Personally this is an amazing figure, but it's not worth the money straight up for its retail price.
Tamashii Web: SH Figuarts Hyper Shinken Red; Shiba, Takeru
The final form of Shinken Red, Hyper Mode with the Kyoryumaru! This red repain of Super Mode only comes with the Kyoryumaru, Kyoryu disc and Shodophone; No Effect Blade Pieces come with it! It's a shame there's no Effect Parts or Stand cause it's usual middleman fees are alot on this figure, but luckily I got on sale from Rider Proxy's X-mas/Year End sale!! Thanks Again, Rider Proxy!!

Sorry for the long hiatus I have been really busy recently. I will try to bring out reviews more frequently from now on. Anyways I am going to be reviewing the DX Gosei Great Megazord from Power Rangers Megaforce. Although Samurai has just ended Bandai of America has brought out the toyline for next years Power Rangers series. The Gosei Great Megazord is pretty close to its Japanese counterpart so I am glad that Bandai of America made a really good representation of the megazord. The header system has been kept in tact so you can remove the headers and put them on any of the ports of the megazord. Articulation is pretty much the same that you should expect on the DX mecha although because of the Zord Building System features it does allow some extra movement to the waist. Also its cool that they added articulation to the wings although it wasn't necessary since they didn't do that on the show. So far I am impressed to what Bandai of America is providing for Megaforce and I will try and get the other headers when I can. I forgot to mention in the video that the megazord is available at Toysrus but can also be found at Targets and Walmarts but not widely so if you are lucky you should be able to find some there.

The final day of Gundam Week ends with a bang, as Shiro Amada wages war with Zeon in the Ez-8 Gundam! This Gundam is from the OVA 08th MS Team, one of my favorite series of the Gundam Franchise. As for this figure it's practically 100% accurate to what its based on however it does have the common flaw of pieces easily being lost, broken or warped. Luckily for me I only have like 3 small issues with this figure after owning it for over a decade. I plan to buy kits of this if there is any and do plan to possibly cover them in future reviews.
Ramba Ral appears in his Zaku... I mean his Gouf while riding the DO-DAI YS for Day 6. Anyways based off the Zaku II, painted blue and given thicker armor attachments. Its left hand is a lazer blaster, and right arm carrys Heat Rods Whips able to cut into a Gundam. It was seen early on as a huge threat to the Gundam and White Base, until Amuro was able to kick into his Newtype abilities. This figure however comes with a few Heat Rod coils, a Shield, and its Sword along for a spare hand to hold it. I'm glad I got it, but which I culd've gotten the Gouf Custom from the 08th MS Team a whole lot more!
Day 6 of Gundam Week and Char has returned, spotting his Z'Gok! Char debut this custom when the White Base was stationed at Jaburo. This custom as usual was fast than the regular Z'Gok and was painted in Char Red. The figure however is amazing, even thou it looks pink-ish. But however this doesn't come with accessories except spar claws, just it doesn't change the fact it's a cool mobile suit. This crustacean-based mecha is one of the best and I plan to eventually get some high-grades of these types.
The Red Comet, Char Aznable has arrived to Gundam Week, spotting his Zaku II Custom! This MSIA has basic points of articulation, with four amazing accessories. First up, is the basic Zaku Rifle and Heat Axes used by all Zakus. Then it has the long range rifle, and average mobile suit bazooka. Even thou this figure is the basic Char Zaku II, it truely does attract alot of attention to it. It amazing shade of red always catches everyone's eye, even the likelys of the White Base!
Day 3, and we're on to one of my personal favorites the Guntank! It original was a two man operated mobile suit, that was piloted by Hayato Kobayashi and Ryu Jose. But later on after Ryu's death Hayato piloted it solo. This figure is great with one huge flaw thou however, it's treads don't move at all. Since it can't roll on its own it quite horrible indeed, such as wheelchair that still uses bicycle tires. Anyways the figure is wonderful, mostly thou as a paper weight so I guess the model kit would be better.
