I don't understand the point of the Ultimus combination at all. Maybe it would have been more believable if they found a different way to attach the bird, but it doesn't look like it belongs as an arm. It's a really cool piece on its own though, especially the BoJ version with the mini figures.

The point of Ultimus was to release Soul Bird and the red gorilla in US. And since Megazords sell better than solo zords, they threw in shark and purps bison so that kids wouldn't just have a gorilla and brick that did nothing.

I guess the market was different then, but they seem to have the exact opposite strategy now. If the Wild Force line was released today we'd have the main megazord and 15 different "zord w/figure" packages.

Yeah, I guess that was before they thought of repurposing the zords as ridable vehicles.

why release the red gorilla in the use when it wasn't on the show? still it was a nice thought but they should have given us other zords too

I ahve no idea how BOA operated and got figures produced back then, but maybe since 80% of that toy was already produced? |

It's the same mold as the Japanese DX as well. The Ultimus set however is very odd. It's using the right arm and torso of Gao Knight but rather than release Gao Elephant to go with it as it properly should have they included Soul Bird and repainted the motorized Bison in Purple.
It even includes the gray disk you use as a torso filler to allow Gao Muscle to combine without Eagle. Very Strange.
