You have this listed under "Zyuranger" instead of "Kyoryuger". I
I just finished watching "Thunderbirds" for the first time, and I consider myself a fan now. So these are timed just right for me!
TB2, FAB-1, and The Mole look good to me.
Very nice! You know how much I love this era!
HOLY S#$$!!!!! Amazing! What about Kame Bazooka market value? I have a V3 and he would compliment my V3 nicely! Q3 and Green Ghost has to wait until mega lottery is had!
Though it's pointless after the fact to state so, episodes of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show can be watched on YouTube for a small fee courtesy of DHX Media whom acquired DiC's backlog of hits after buying out Cookie Jar a while back.

My dream Jumbo!! Boxed version on ebay for almost $9,000!! I'd settle just to have one!!
Wow. Thanks for sharing !!! Great work Josh! Papercraft is something I don't think I have the patience for. Keep doing this. I am learning from you!
This on the net betting site features each on line betting with a few of the greatest pokies available as well as the downloadable wager site that gives alot more variety of { wager site games.
I'm glad I read this! I have one saved in my ebay watch list. Still, the small pieces (that I can't find originals) would go nicely with my GA-81.
In regards to boobs, Godannar is probably half mecha, half fanservice.
By the way, if they to re-imagine something, how about using Dancouga Nova?
I guess we can't help it. More designs means more toys to sell.
The old-school designs will always have a market, then the re-imagined, or new designs are for the younger fans.
Maybe it's a really elaborate version of those old Micromaster combiners like Six Turbo.
You are correct... unless there is more to the leg transformation, the peg holes are not at the same height. It's hard to say at this point how any of this combining is going to work.
Your photos make it appear as if a combiner built on Grind Rod and Aurora would have one leg longer than the other. Is that right, or is it just the angle of the shots? Not to say that the attaching parts couldn't be different lengths, but how strange would that be? And it's it still the case that a combined mode is only a rumor, anyhow?
The new Fireball series is really weird.
The Medicom MAFs are excellent! IMO, the posability is mostly limited by the design. They did everything they could with the legs, in particular, under that bulky torso and armored skirt. Plus they're all hard, tough plastic, with robust joints.
They can even sit down comfortably... http://www.recognizer.net/coppermine/displayimage.php?pos=-596
...and those poseable hands are much appreciated. http://www.recognizer.net/coppermine/displayimage.php?pos=-594
And they really took advantage of the huge torso to shove in all those electronic features - the eyes that move in a synchronized back-and-forth wave AND light up is a really excellent gimmick.
I was actually thinking of the old Medicom releases when I wrote that. To be fair, it's been a long time since I'd handled one, but I remember not being thrilled with some paint issues and general poseability. Though, it's a koubu, so that last part is probably being overly critical. In fact, my whole memory might be clouded, so I just threw out a bid for one. It's a good thing thing they've gotten super cheap, at least in the case of the Kouran/Iris versions.
The end of Zinc Panic hurts, and I agree, it makes trying to find original toy dates a much more esoteric effort. HLJ Japan says December 1999, and vanilla HLJ says January 2000, not that it makes too big a difference.
Medicom released (in 98 I think? - Zinc Panic is down, alas) their Mircale Action Figure Sakura Wars Koubou Kai figures that were quite high end. They are posable, nicely painted, have movable light "eyes" and with a push of a button shout out key phrases from the video game. The young blond girl's voice is so shrill it can peel paint off the walls. Each one is powered by three watch batteries.
Ogami's white Koubou was a mail order exlusive with the purchase of all the other Koubous.
So I am exicted about this line, but it has a lot to live up to!
More than likely. It's the same with the Inordinate Weapons.
Now the question is: will they remove the extra Akibaranger logo from the American release? As superficial as this extra is, I would hate to get the gimped version.
I actually like the dragon mode on this guy, and that's what I bought it for. Robot mode is just kind of there and the transformation is nothing special but the beast mode is actually pretty fun, I think. It makes me thing of something more like a demon of some sort than a dragon but I do like it.
I like the way the launcher works and I enjoy how it can mount on the back or be handheld. Gotta agree with the awful tail-weapon though
I am a huge Transformers fan, I've bought almost every figure from every line since Armada. Beast Hunters is the first line I have bought zero figures. It truely saddens me, but on the other hand it is the reason I started buying SOC's.
I'm no fan of beastformers generally, or this line specifically, but I think you overlooked something when you criticized the lack of bio on the package. I understand from other reviews that this line has some of the best bios in ages written into the instruction booklet, including a running storyline that continues from one figure to the next. You gotta admit that's kinda cool, anyways.
I'mm actually a big fan of beast mode Transformers and I find this to be a weak effort. I just want the new Abominus already.
At first glance, I thought this toy was named Laserbeak, and I was all, "Transformers, you so crazy".
While there have been a few toys of the Koubu and it's descendents, I don't know if I'd call any of them high-end (at the very least, there aren't any modern renditions), so I'm pretty excited for this. I'll be bummed if they have an opening cockpit and don't include a Sakura torso, or at least make one available for more money, but this has been a long time coming.
