As I've heard, they're pretty much direct repacks, as is the case with most of the roleplay toys. Issues of different sounds aren't going to be a problem in this case either.
EDIT: It completely slipped my mind until ComicGuy89's post that Korea sells the toys under their Power Rangers lines, and aren't encompassed by Bandai Asia. Listen to him instead.

I think it depends on which Sentai series you're talking about. The Korean releases are not as good as the Hong Kong ones (Bandai Asia) which I hear are pretty much direct repacks, Japanese writing and all, with changes only to sound levels. From my personal experience, the Gaoranger mecha are inferior to their Japanese counterparts, with cheaper plastic (Transformers-level), loose joints and a severe lack of die-cast. I've heard good things about other series though, so hopefully someone else can share their experience.

Nice to see the improvement. I only knew of the quality of the Gaoranger Korean versions and it scared me offa ever looking into Korean versions for any Super Sentai stuff

Ok so here's the pics of this thing, I think it looks awesome and definitely worth the $$.





I actually like the box and haven't thrown it out yet lol


Notice the word captain being used on the packaging!


Here's an out of the box shot


And a size comparison to the Samurai Megazord



Inside the box it came held by a plastic bubble card thing like the Samurai Zords do. And it did also come with the chest cannon tho I haven't taken a pic with it!

Any questions feel free to ask!
