Wow, there's a nice sense of heft that I think the Megaforce version lacks. This is not surprising, usually Bandai of America opts for a sleeker styling. While sleeker aesthetics look nicer for some mecha, like the Samurai Megazord, I'm thinking I like the beefier look of the Gosei Great over the Gosei Great Megazord.

I really prefer this one to the US version. Just from the pictures I've seen it looks like a pale imitation of the actual Gosei Great. This thing is a very fun figure that I think alot of people over look becaused of a show that's perceived badly. The show itself is quite enjoyable and the DX mecha from it are very affordable, and fun to boot! When I get to the Headder Brother galleries this week you'll all see what I mean.

I think it looks bad.
Individually it's like they couldn't make up their mind between machines and animals so they slapped animal heads on random machines and so we ended up with a decent snake, a pretty lame dragon in comparison to ones we got in the past, and a dull everything else. The transformation is too simple for my tastes. It makes the Ninja Megazord look complicated. The dragon barely transforms at all. You just pull off a bunch of parts, flip the head around, and then reassemble. Combine it starts to look a little better, but it's a bummer not more can be done with the wings. The changes they made for the US release are all good ones, IMO. |

Wasn't the Gosei Great badly reviewed by some prominent reviewers? This always puzzled me because I was very attracted to its design. It also helps that a dragon forms the base of the combination.
I'm wondering if I should get the BoJ DX version over the American Megaforce version. I guess I'll wait for more reviews of the American version first.

Thank you sir. My old backdrop was absolutely impossible to keep using. Finally figured out how to change the exposure settings on my camera, that's where most of the improvement comes from.
