Tokunation continues to bring you more in it's tribute to Power Rangers Wild Force with yet another figure from Hyakuju Sentai Gaoranger!
Born from the Gao Egg the Soul Bird becomes a new heart for Gaoking! Even after Gaolion's recovery something was off with the great king of spirits, but the baby bird Pyo transformed into Soul Bird in a time of need! By calling out "Soul Drive" Soul Bird becomes a new cockpit for the mighty robo, wether it be Gaoking or Gao Muscle! The DX Soul Bird comes with scaled Gaorangers to pilot it, a Gao Jewel style figure of Pyo, and has a spring loaded gimmick which shows off the the Super Animal Heart attack. It oddly also features the ability to combine with any compatible Gaoranger mecha torso as an arm, though this is a toy only feature, never used in show. To accomplish this the skis/wheels section must be removed from Soul Bird but they likewise can be used for an official though toy only combination with Gaolion.

Soul Bird always confused me. I think it's because it had no real reason to exist in Wild Force other than they needed to use the footage.
The Arm mode though looks great, and GaoLion looks like he's enjoying those skis |

I use to have a Soul Bird, but mine was much bigger and could hold the 5'inch Rangers. It could also plug into the TV as a video game.

It's the same mold as the Japanese DX as well. The Ultimus set however is very odd. It's using the right arm and torso of Gao Knight but rather than release Gao Elephant to go with it as it properly should have they included Soul Bird and repainted the motorized Bison in Purple.
It even includes the gray disk you use as a torso filler to allow Gao Muscle to combine without Eagle. Very Strange.

Unsurprisingly, the only WF/Gaoranger zord I don't like. It's super weird and doofy. I'd ditto what was said about RPM, but even RPM's zords weren't this dopey.

One thing I wonder, how would the Gaoranger Ranger Keys look in that? Man, GaoLion is having fun there isnt he!
Great gallery Den-O!

You have to remember that Soul Bird isn't technically a Power Animal either. It's not counted in the 100 PA's though it serves the important function of cockpit, heart, & soul for Gaoking. Sould Bird is a living Gao Soul given a physical form so it wouldn't necessarily share the same design characteristics as the other Power Animals. The other 100 were created simultaneously more or less.

The overseas release of the soul bird (in the Ultimus zord) is a different mold, right? Got it in my hand right now, it looks a lot less wide.
