Go Go Megaforce!
Power Ranger Megaforce might be done and over with, but that does not mean it's toys are not still on shelves! Today we are taking a look at two of the more hard-to-find sets in the line, the Ultra Red and Ultra Blue Zord Vehicles! The Ultra Red set comes with an Ultra Red Megaforce Ranger figure, vehicle, two pressure missiles, and the Crocodile and Beetle Zords. The Ultra Blue set includes an Ultra Blue Megaforce Ranger, vehicle, two pressure missiles, and the Dolphin and Elephant Zords. Each set comes with a Power Rangers Action Card game card that produces the 'Summon Zords' sound in the DX Gosei Morpher. The Dolphin, Crocodile, Beetle, and Elephant Zords can combine with the Gosei Jet vehicle to form the Gosei Jet Megazord. Each of these Zords replace the Shark, Snake, Eagle, and Tiger Zords on their respective limbs. In Megaforce, The Gosei Jet Megazord uses footage of the Wonder Gosei Great from Tensou Sentai Goseiger and only appears in episode 17, Staying on Track, of the 20 episode season. It is surprising enough that the Gosei Jet and the four zords appear in MegaForce at all, much less get their own toys. However, I would have preferred that the Gosei Jet and the Dolphin, Crocodile, Beetle and Elephant Zords were packaged together much like BoJ's Gosei Wonder set. The Red and Blue Vehicle sets are a creative enough idea and I am glad that the 'Wonder Headers' were made at all, but the end product ultimately looks cheap and feels cheap with the only redeeming quality being the Zords themselves. Are these sets worth hunting down? Leave your thoughts and be on the look out for our full gallery of the Gosei Jet / Gosei Jet Megazord, coming soon!

I too agree that they should be packed together. I suppose they could stretch the cash a bit more this way.

I need these.
Though I don't know if I should get them for a repainted Gosei Wonder with a Green Gosei Dolphin, Orange Gosei Croc, Gold Gosei Kabuto and White Gosei Elephant or if I should make an Articulated Wonder Gosei Great. |

I have to say that I'm impressed with these. I've had these for awhile now (thank you BBTS), and I wasn't sure what to think of them at first, but once I saw Gosei Wonder, I was completely pleased.
They're great. I do think, however, they should've done what Wild Force did and make a nonfunctional set of legs to attach all these new Headers to, plus the jet and sell it as a Megazord. Would've made it so everyone could get the jet (which has been impossible due to it not hitting retail in the US) and saved us some money. Bandai sometimes cheats themselves out of sales and money because of boneheaded ideas like this. In the hopes of making more money, they end up making less. Tried and true works better, this new system of their's is pretty stupid sometimes. |

I like the design of the headders, Plus the idea GoseiWonder had makes me want it for that. But $15 for two headers plus the $25 for the Jet doesn't interest me that much

I don't care for these guys enough to. Now if I could find the Sky/Sea brothers and Cycles for close to retail or not marked up like hell, thatd be great
