Tokunation is proud to bring you a comparison gallery of the DX Gosei Great from Tensou Sentai Goseiger and the DX Gosei Great Megazord from Power Rangers Megaforce! This gallery showcases the size differences and massive differences in the designs of these 2 figures. If you're trying to decide whether to go for the original Bandai Japan version or the scaled down Bandai America version we hope this extensive 30 image gallery helps you decide!
As a collector, my personal preference is for the original BOJ Gosei Great. It has a show accurate transformation & design and is in the appropriate colors. The BOA Gosei Great Megazord is a scaled down cheaper version of the original that feels as though it's made of much lighter and cheaper plastic. And it also takes quite a few liberties with the design and transformation. Since it's designed with BOA's Zord Builder system in mind fans of this may find it to be right up their alley.

It's not that much smaller is it. Gosei Knight forgive me, but I like the stylized sword better than the original. And the headsculpt. It somehow looks more detailed than the original. I think BoA did a really great job with this, I really honestly do.

The ONLY pros I have at all for this set: -The hinged wings. It's nice that they fold in the middle. HOWEVER that is still completely inaccurate. At no point can I remember the Great bending it's wings at a center joint. So it irks me that they went this far to change the transformation of the figure. -The collapsing neck on Dragon. Again it's a nice touch but's it's poorly executed and totally unnecessary since, again, that's not at all how it transformed in the show. Short story is I'm already selling the US version.

Now if the plastic quality was equal on both, my preference would probably be the American version. I do think the proportions combined look better on the Megazord, but they always do compared to the Japanese release.
However the talk of cheap plastic does worry me a lot. Cheap plastic simply isn't justifiable for a toy that costs $30 and above. Den-O, how does the plastic compare to the Samurai Megazord and the MMPR 2010 Megazord?

Awesome, been waiting for a good comparison gallery! Nice one Den-O
I quite like what they've done with it, but the original is still definitely winning out in this case. The changes they've made to the dragon are great from design point of view, but I liked the neck becoming the sword and this new sword looks measly in comparison. The only way I'd really be interested in buying this is if I had the Samurai and 2010 Dino Megazords, which I don't. So its nice, but not quite for me. I'll just look out for the minipla and hope we may see an SRC down the line.

I think you're all insane. Or it could be my Gosei love blinding me a little, but I love this thing. Enough I'm considering buying yours, Den.

Now that figure may not be too bad. The original really doesnt do much anyway.

Thanks for the in depth gallery/comparison. Doesn't look as good as the Japanese version, but that's to be expected. I'm hoping the American Gosei Ground will turn out much better than this did.
I can see them cutting the turn the wheel gimmick to open all the doors for the Zord Builder system, but other than that I can't see any major changes being made.

The thing that bugs me here are is BOA's proportions. The one thing I defended about the BOA version of past toys is that there proportions they fell more well humanoid proportioned compared to the Japanese version, but looking at these, BOJ is much better proportioned the BOA's, so Den-O for once I will agree with you the the BOJ Goseigreat is the better....that said I'll probably still get the BOA version as I really dont want to spend what counted to an average of $102 (I went on Ebay really quick added up the prices of the Greats and divined by the number of Greats) before shipping on a "slightly" proportioned version of this mech and I mostly likely get any of the brothers or DATS or Gosei Ground all of witch in the end would end up costing me to much money
