As wave 1 of the Megaforce flood hits the toy aisles, what is left of Samurai stock will be clearanced off or shipped to department stores like TJ Maxx, Ross's, or Marshalls. If you come across the harder to find auxiliary Light Zord and miniature Claw Zord from wave 3 of the Samurai line, should you buy them? Tokunation presents a dual gallery of these scaled-down releases to help you decide whether or not they are worth a purchase.
The Light Zord differs greatly from the BoJ release, being much smaller, lacking the disc shooting feature, and an inability to combine with the turtle, ape, dragon, and bear foldingzords. The lantern alternate mode of the Light Zord was kept but an additional 'spider' mode was added, for no apparent reason. The Claw Zord is much smaller than either the BoA or BoJ deluxe version. It lacks any ability to transform into the Claw Battlezord, instead having a 'pinching claw' gimmick and the ability to separate into an arm and helmet for the Samurai Megazord. While these figures are more affordable than their larger counterparts, are they really worth the price? Only you can decide. Want TokuNation.com updates on the go?

Uh...the original alt mode of DaiGoyou (the Light Zord's original/Japanese counterpart) was a lantern, not a fish cooler.

Should you buy these? Why when burning your hard earned dollars is easier and provides you with warmth. These are everything that's wrong with a BoA release. I still love the Megazords, I still love the other Aux Zords, but these? Please, people of Tokunation, unless they're two for a dollar; Do Not Waste Your Money.

I knew it was a lantern but I could swear that it was also meant to be a tackle box/fish cooler. Anyways, original post was edited. Thanks for keeping me honest, OOO.

That Lightzord was the only thing I actually liked from BOA's line. I love it because it actually scales pretty well with Figuarts and is fairly accurate. If I ever buy the DX Shinkenger stuff I'll trade up to DX Daigoyou but for now this thing is a decent stand in.
And, we heard you liked Clawzords. So we put a Clawzord on your Clawzord

He needs a copy of that scorpion zord with Deker. "Yo dog! I heard you liked Clawzords! So we put a Clawzord on your Clawzord and made a redeco of the smaller Clawzord and also put that on your Clawzord! Now you got a Clawzord on your Clawzord and another Clawzord on your Clawzord, so you got yourself Clawzords!"

You know what would make that better? Putting the ClawZord on DaiKaiOh.
