I don't hate what I'm seeing, but I'm not immediately wowed in the same exaggerated way a certain Code was.
The morpher is easily the neatest part of the display, took Bandai long enough to recognize its importance. If there's something inaccurate or otherwise "terrible" about the thing, I don't immediately see it. The 2010 Dino Megazord, now in diecast! The 2010 release wasn't exactly a favorite, but I did like some of the things it did with the MMPR Megazord design. Not being dependent on stickers and plain gray plastic should help. Part of it will depend on how that mold holds up when at least part of it is metal, because it won't matter one bit how pretty it looks if the thing's ratcheted joints can't take the weight - just look at the Toynami Voltron. I'm far more skeptical on the quality of the Armored Might figure at retail. It would be much easier for Bandai to fall into its usual habits with the final product on a line like that. His proportions aren't nearly as bad as they could have been and I like the new points of articulation on the limbs, but the torso under the armor looks like it's no step up compared to Super Legends. I'm only believing those weapons remain fully painted when I see it too! The Red Ranger masks are just Sentai Mask Collection used for effect so it's not worth discussing further. Having a set of MMPR helmets in the same style is neat for those of you who'd want such a thing. Of course, all we see is a Tyrannoranger helmet to show off the concept and a sketch of the final product. And then there's what I guess is going to be a US release of Shinkenoh. I have trouble believing that there isn't some shortcut that will be taken for an American release, but as long as any changes are minor, that should be a great opportunity for anyone who missed out on the Japanese and Asian releases... or it could be an opportunity for Bandai America to "prove" why they have to make their own dumbed-down Megazords from the sentai robo designs if it has to be butchered for US release or to fit a certain price point.

Wow...Boa is really stepping up their game here, a lot of the stuff on display are pretty surprising, not just the the detailed weapons on that red ranger figure, but the fact that they gave those Sentai shout outs too.
2013 is going to be a great year for PR collectors it looks like. |

The fact that it's called "Sentai Series Shinken-O MegaZord" leads me to believe that we'll get more of these authentic quality mecha releases... Probably dead wrong on that. :P

Shinken-Oh Megazord?!
If the zords fold into origami form, consider it bought! |

I'll just wait until there is an eventual Figuart of TyrannoRanger. I am sick of muscled out Rangers.

*steps in between arms out* AWESOME that now I no longer need to hunt down DX Shinken Oh, interesting to see BOA use a Thundercats body as for Jason, I can dig that, way better than the weird Super Legends bodies! Diecast Megazord FTW but man that only makes me want a SOC release moar.... BOA, today you earn Shin Densetsu's respect....BUT..there is always tomorrow....
