I tend not to buy Sentai mecha due to their lack of interesting construction or dull aesthetic.
I still think Shurikenjin is dumb, but it might end up being a fun kind of dumb and worth collecting, so I might end up being all in mecha wise (Keyword being might). I don't do Sentai roleplay toys, though.

I wasn't planning on going in, but the mecha look fun by themselves as toys, so I might get one or two.

I don't know if it's because ToQGer was such a let down and Kamen Rider Drive doesn't interest me that I'm so in love with this mecha, or if because I genuinely love the idea of what they're doing. Either way, down the rabbit hole I go!

That pun I'm in. It sold me with the Ribbiter Repeater, and that beautiful UFOMaru. I saw that and just went "Yes!"

I'm getting the mecha for sure, but I doubt I'll get into any of the other stuff. The only Sentai items I've ever really been into up until now were the Figuarts, but the mecha with its throne gimmick is just the right type of ridiculous for me to love it.

I'm not buying anything until I see the show. I'm not going to spend the money on representations of a character or robot unless I like them.

This will likely be the first Sentai I watch, so what better way to celebrate than by picking up some mecha, especially something as awesomely ridiculous (ridiculously awesome??) as Shurikenjin.

I preordered Shurikenjin without hesitating.
A friend bought me the RH-03 for my birthday last year, and I was effectively sunk. It had been a while since I'd owned a toy that didn't fall into the "adult collectibles" category, but I was won over by the neat engineering. It was a bunny! A helicopter! A terrible hat for Go-Buster-Oh! It had a tiny Usada Lettuce! I was sunk. I paid too much for Kyoryujin and never regretted it. It was the voices: I loved them MUCHO. And again, the clever engineering; there was this potential there to unlock hidden features. (I never looked up a battery guide, but I experiment from time to time.) Heck, I even went partly-in on the ToQger mecha... admittedly, before I saw the show. Even without sounds, I'm enjoying finding combinations never used in the show. And the "battering ram...!" Looking at Shurikenjin, I'm so curious! It's clear the wolf mecha folds up into the lower leg of the different mecha. Can it form the center of the mecha, too? Is there more hidden in the other leg? Is there anything hidden in the dump truck? And the combination of stuff - dragon, ninja, train, doggie, dump truck, elephant - is so wonderfully random. I'd exercise patience with this stuff - after all, won't it appear in the U.S. in a few years? - but given the comparative quality of recent Bandai of America releases... I mean, Kyoryujin without GABRUCHINO? No, thanks. Okay, I'm weak. But these toys are so much fun to fiddle with! (Wow, I 'm using a lot of exclamation points today.) |
