Part 2
- Finished Zyu Oh King Combination
- Comparisons to previous robos
- Cube Kirin
Cube Kirin
Cube Kirin is the first of the additional Cube Animals released, meant to give a weapon of some sort to Zyuoh King. I won't go into the packaging much other than saying, even in box, this thing will fit in the palm of your hand. And it uses a plastic tray to hold the figure unlike most modern DX mecha. Cube Kirin itself is teeny tiny though. When compared to the main Cube Animals, it's roughly about
1/3 the size.
The cube is obviously very clearly based on a Super Mario block. And while I don't have am S.H. Figuarts Mario to take silly pictures of this with, handling this thing makes we wish I did.
To go from Cube to Kirin you need only unfold the head of the Kirin out fully. And you're done. Now you have your comically tiny basically 2-dimensional animal. Going from Kirin to
Bazooka mode
is even simpler. Just fold the Kirin head straight up. Done. For it's size I can't blame it for being simplistic but WOW is it simplistic. For Zyuoh King to use Cube Kirin you just need to rotate his arm up one click, then plug the Bazooka's handle into his hand. You also have to line up a small indentation on Zyuoh Kings' shoulder with one on the rear of the bazooka. This helps stabilize it as there is no locking mechanism to hold it in place whatsoever. Meaning you can't put Zyuoh King's arm down either or the Bazooka leans severely enough that it could fall out. A tad bit disappointing but for something this small, and this cheap, what did any of us really expect?
Final Thoughts
I know a lot of people were instantaneously turned off with this series and it's gimmick because of the blocky aesthetics. I can't entirely blame you either. But ultimately these initial toys, while literal bricks, are actually pretty fun and intuitive. Their smaller scale leads me to believe we're in for many more larger combos down the road than we've even seen so far. I feel like there's a lot of playability in these Cubes that has yet to be unlocked. As is I think
DX Zyuoh King & DX Cube Kirin
are pretty great first salvos in this line.
