I am constantly reminded of how tiny role play toys are. And why I don't collect them :(

Yeah, The fact that the ring scanner dwarfs the actual toy itself makes it look kinda silly looking.

That's why the Moe Moe Z-Cune is such a big deal, the first 1:1 scale role playing toy! Wish Bandai would do more of them.

Yeah but even though it's the right size, which I love, they skimped on the features by not including the auto transform :(

To me, DX role-play toys have always had a nice compromise between the show model and being a reasonable size for a small child...

...But this is a dinky little thing, isn't it?

I don't know, the finish almost have a KO feeling to it

I've noticed, at least in my eyes, that excess chrome can make a toy look cheaper. A lot of older Rider toys back in the early 2000s tend to look pretty KO-ish too for the same reason.

It's cool but the size is a turn off. It's more like a WizarKnifeGun.

In fairness, it would be impossible to do. At least into the gun mode, there's no way they could have had mechanisms so complex to do it. My only issue was with the price. Even 1:1 scale, it's not that big and doesn't do anything besides make a few sound effects. They were charging a premium just because it was aimed at collectors.

This thing on the other hand just looks pretty pathetic. The gun mode doesn't come close to looking like the one in the show. If it wasn't for the hand, I probably wouldn't have even recognised it :(

I think the size of it and the grey plastic and the white plastic light up part make it look like part of a Knock-off range of lightsaber toys that I've seen over here.

Still think the ring reading gimmick and all the little jingles etc are catchy though, but after not really getting anywhere collecting switches for Fourze I think I'm done with role play toys =p
