Saying they bastardized them is a bit ridiculous. At most, you can get away with saying that when talking about the Overdrive stuff since that really was a low quality line. Having collected the shinkenger stuff a few months back, I can say the Samurai line gave us all the zords from the show and for a hell of a lot cheaper while still being decent toys. Even the Lightzord, which was shrunken way down ended up being a fun toy to add to the collection. While it may not be the Adult Collector's cup of tea, the zord builder line adds a whole lot of playability to any megazord out at the moment. It's for the zordbuilder stuff alone that I hope BoA does there own take on the gosei mecha.
As for the 2012 line, I am glad BoA decided to make a new power morpher. I look forward to picking one up when it comes out. Makes me even more excited for ToyFair next year. Quote:
^ My argument as well, Jungle Fury-Samurai BOA originals Megazords are good toys but there just not for you there for kids aka the TARGET DEMOGRAPHIC. I also think the BOA stuff is a little bit better because of the interactivity between all the Zordbuilder stuff, go look at the PRS merchandise thread on Rangerbord to see some coll stuff for why the BOA toys are good with zordbuilder

But there not complete messes. As bad as the entire line was,you could still form ultimate daibouken with the Overdrive toys, it just looks inaccurate do to pink not being able to fold up. For the overdrive toys, I can agree with you that they are pretty terrible, especially since we never got a siren builder.
The RPM toys, while feeling a bit cheaper, are still perfectly fine toys. The engine cells in the actual show didn't give voices to the actual zords or anything so it's not like they needed electronics for that. They could have fixed up the eye stickers though, they messed up on that note. The loss of origami mode only hurts in yellow and blue's cases since blue's zord is really inaccurate and yellow's hurts 2 combinations. Outside of those 2, they didn't really need it since I would assume most people would keep them in combine modes anyways. While the toys are inferior to the originals, there made out to be affordable and still capable of most of what's seen in the show. |

I already have an original shinken-oh, but I will buy the american release in the hopes that BOA will go back to just releasing the japanese toys.
