I feel that the only thing the original DX version had going for it was the chrome, other than that, it's still an ugly ass design.

The original is also well designed with a lot of nice ratcheting joints that are missing on this scaled back version. The legs and arms seem to have lost alot of functionality.

Go, Flying Triangle with a face!!! This does look pretty ugly though. If they don't make it do something other than be a triangle and attach to Gosei Great's back, I won't even consider buying it.

Wait how do already know the joints are not ratcheting? It's almost a crime to not have non-ratcheting joints on a Power Rangers/Super Sentai toy!

I'm just going based on the usual things BOA does to good toys. The real Gosei Ultimate has a left/right hip, a 360 swivel thigh, and ratcheting knees. This thing looks like it has the hip intact but no thigh. It looks very simplified. I'm willing to bet that for backpack mode, where the hands for Ultimate form the tip of the triangle, that they removed the extra joints that allow it to collapse.

I don't get the complaints. Den-O said himself you can get the Ultimate Great cheap online, so buy one. If you don't like Ultimate Gosei Megazord then don't buy it. I am. .. But then I'm a Gosei-Whore, so.

The entire line of DX Goseiger stuff is pretty cheap to be honest. You can get any of the 4 main mecha for 4000 yen or less. Datas even dips down to 1000 pretty often. The header sets all sell for less than 1000, consistently. The only stuff that could difficult to find cheaply is Gosei Wonder and the special releases of the Exotic Headers.
You just have to know where to look for these things to get them at good prices. Mandarake has been very good to me in that regard. Don't let ebay or especially Amazon prices fool you. They are horribly skewed.

Gah, if Power Rangers goes the path of Transformers and starts using cheap plastic and non-ratcheting joints I weep for the future of robot toys.

I say that were all jumping the gun on judgments. It's a photo of a Bandai of America toy,in German.Nothing against Germans or other languages,I just like seeing photos of it in someones hands,and a lot clearer then a random ad/paper shot.
