It is not a bad toy per se, but it doesn’t excel beyond merely bringing back an old-school animation technique.

While clearly an effort is being put forward here to have a stronger influence of Japanese culture and history involved in “Shinkenger”, this set just doesn’t do it for me.

You need to look at the mecha here not just as more transformable mecha, but as folding and twisting and bending in the same way as the ancient Japanese paper craft, origami.

Okay, these Engine combos have just reached the point of ridiculousness...

The similar flight helmet-design has also been compared to another earlier flying Super Sentai secondary mecha, the DX Delta Formation Time Shadow from 2000’s “Mirai Sentai TimeRanger”; which also had a cockpit on its chest and wings on its shoulders.

Like most of the other Engines, this one looks best when not combined in any way, though I think the Jet Mode is a little awkward even if a good idea, and throws that off a little. It’s a very reasonable design and is one of my favorites from the Engine line.

Leonardo Flores reviews Bandai's Godaikin's Goggle V and how his brother Michael should replace the part he threw away when he "cleaned" the room.

This set is a repaint of the lead combining robo DX Engine Gattai Engine-Oh. Most of what you see here is the same between the two sets, except for coloring and a few new molds. It is the differences that will be the focus of this review...

Again, more because it is needed for later combos more than on its own merits, I recommend getting Engine Jettoras.

Basically, the reason you want to pick up Engine Toripter is because it is used in later combinations rather than on its own merit.

This toy is one of EVA_Unit_4A's three choices for 'Hottest Must-Have Items' for the 2008 Christmas shopping season!

Traditionally, poseable DX-sized figures do not appear very often in Super Sentai save for one-axis shoulder joints, but I can now seriously discuss posing options with this toy. Never before in Super Sentai history has a DX-sized set been so flexible in such a human way!

Giga Phoenix Beast Air Combination is better known in the US as the Stratoforce Megazord. On the surface it seems to be everything I like in a toy, so why don't I like it?

We got back to some old-school action with the mecha in the “Hurricanger” line while other facets of the series dazzled us with their quirky ingenuity.

The MantanGun is the standard sidearm of the first five Go-Onger. In order to power a MantanGun, an Engine Soul must be inserted into it; without the living cartridge, it remains inert.

Includes video review!

There was a time in Super Sentai where six components was a rare thing to see- something that only appeared on special occasions, and usually only in the latter half of a series since it was the most powerful of combinations; supplanted only by super-rare seven-component gattai. But nowadays, you see these limb-swapping-friendly six-part gattai at the drop of a hat- this one only ten episodes in.
