Do you enjoy putting plastic models(plamo) together? Sure we've seen candy kits of Sentai mecha before, but what we have here today is something somewhat different. Out now at Toys R Us stores by Bandai America(and possibly designed by Tsuyoshi Nonaka of PLEX) are kits for:
  • Dragonzord With Mega Ranger Water
  • Lionzord With Mega Ranger Fire
The zords feature a build requiring snapping parts together, and no need for glue nor paint. In addition each zord has 3 modes:
  • Emblem(origami)
  • Animal
  • Vehicle(motorcycle for Blue Ranger, flying vehicle for Red Ranger)
The animal modes for each zord are articulated as well. In addition, the Mega Ranger figures included are in kit form! When completed, each Mega Ranger figure is fully articulated(like the mainline figures). Included with each Mega Ranger is a black sword. Price for these sets is $18.99 each. Check them out after the jump!

Interesting...wish they would've left out the "vehicle modes" as it really messes with the Dragonzord's look. The Lionzord's vehicle mode doesn't really interfere much. I do like the fact they have emblem modes though. Might have to pick these up!

The emblem modes the fact that both the figure and Zord are articulated, and the fact that you have to build these, are what sold me. It would be bad ass if BoA decides to make a Megazord like this that was fully articulated too....

Sure is, piqued my interest, since I am a fan of Takeru Shiba I might end up buying the Lionzord set on Friday.

These are pretty ingenious ideas, far better than most of the ones that Bandai of America has come up with. I especially love that Lion Zord, its vehicle mode makes sense and resembles one of its final attacks.

Kinda cool, though I think Bandai missed the point of doing models in that it's okay to leave parts off... :/

What final attack?

I like it. Even if the dragon's dragon mode looks a little goofy.

I love that age-old sentai mech toy thinking of "If we stick arms out, it'll fly!"

I've seen these at the local TRU for the past couple of weeks. Lionzord looks good but poor Dragonzord has no feet and has wheels attached in its dragon mode.

What has really kept me from buying these just to try them out is holding out for the DX ShinkenOh
