Kyoryu Gold,
has arrived!
Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger
is long over by now but the last (so far) figure from the series in the S.H. Figuarts line was recently released.
S.H. Figuarts Kyoryu Gold
is yet another sixth sentai ranger to add to your collection. In fact, Kyoryu Gold is actually the 6th, 6th ranger SHF to be released. There's something kind of awesome about that. But more to the point, the figure!
S.H. Figuarts Kyoryu Gold
was recently released as a Tamashii Web Exclusive. As such he comes in the new and increasingly more common windowless style box. Not a problem if you ask me considering the nature of how exclusives are sold. However like most exclusives he doesn't come with a wealth of additional accessories.
For starters Utsusemimaru, or
Uchy
as his teammates loved to call him, is a gorgeous figure. The Kyoryuger mold has never looked this good. As the 6th release from Kyoryuger, bearing more than a few reused molded parts from his predecessors, he's a step above the rest. Perhaps it's the crisp gold paint or the gorgeous blue trim. Something about this figure really makes it shine, for lack of a better term. It has a fantastic range of motion as can be expected after 5 other releases in this similar body type. His shoulder armor is hinged to get out of the way for dynamic posing, and his wings are just the right size so as not to interfere with anything. Some have complained the wings are a bit on the small side, but they appear to be only slightly undersized. Effect parts of the wings enlarged and or flapping would have been nice but that's expecting too much from a TWE release.
I've yet to notice any glaring QC issue my
Kyoryu Gold.
Though I can't say all of them are perfect, I can say mine appears to be. Nice crisp paint applications, and strong solid joints go very far here.
As mentioned the accessory count is low but that's to be expected. Gold includes 5 extra hands, 2 of which are for his left wrist and make no damn sense. The
Gaburi Changer
is a separate piece despite being packed already attached to the left arm. It can be removed, and pegs into the wrist, and it can be taken out of the hand. Though there's no real purpose to this. The Changer was almost exclusively seen being grasped in his left hand in show footage. The two open left hands can't possibly be used in any realistic way with how this toy is designed. Having them open doesn't allow him any greater ability to hold something when that blue bar from the Change is still smack in the middle of his palm.
Kyoryu Gold's trademark weapon the
Zandar Thunder
sword is also included. The paint is exquisite on this bad boy, right down to the actual "Zandar Thunder" text which goes from the hand guard down the blade. It's a gorgeous weapon. Unfortunately though it's practically not functional. The Zandar can be opened to reveal what would have been the 3 Zyudenchi slots on the real deal. But the SHF opts not to hollow those spots out, leaving only tiny indentations instead. Which brings us to the next included accessory, a generic
Zyudenchi
that would appear to be the
#6 Pteragordon Zyudenchi.
However this item is useless due to the nature of the Zandar as designed here. It can barely be held in Kyoryu Gold's hand. Unfortunately a hand specifically meant for holding Zyudenchi's is not included with Gold.
The accessories are rounded out with the inclusion of the combined
Fang Shot
(Gabutyra Fang, Parasagun). This piece is meant to be used with the [B]Shield Lan Slasher[/B that came in the Kyoryu Blue & Green 2-pack to form the completed
Kentro Spiker.
Overall
S.H. Figuarts Kyoryu Gold
is yet another wonderful addition to the Kyoryuger line of SHF's. Each has been quite solid but he'd definitely the bast of the 6 released thus far. Here's hoping the rest of the team are eventually produced. Though if the last couple years have taught us anything, it's that sentai releases in this line are few and far between.
