I've got a question for any of you who have the DX mecha.

I've always loved the DX robots, and I've been buying them all up since Shinkenger (And that's not counting all the PR stuff I've got) and I've had a blast with them. I've lost a bit of faith in them due to the clips and breakages of those clips.

I know that the GT-02 was notorious for breakage, but I've had a clip or two wear down and break on some of my Goseiger mecha (Which are really the big red flag for me, I've not seen any reports for those). The Kyoryuger stuff looks fantastic, and right up my alley, but considering the whole gimmick of the line is held together through those very clips I've been pretty weary.

I was wondering how the Kyoryuger clips stand up over time, or if concern about clip breakage is just commonplace and it's just something to accept with Sentai robots?

There have been a few issues with the Kyoryuger line, mainly with kyoryujin. Many people, myself included have had issues with some of the clips on Gabutyra breaking, mainly the ones on the battery plate and where the arm zyudenryu connect.

I've also seen one person report they broke Gabutyra's leg while turning him into Bakuretsu Kyoryujin, but to be honest I think he must've been forcing it down to manage that.

Raiden Kyoryujin seems to be the biggest risk, but I've put my mecha in every formation many, many times with no breakage.

Here is a video review of Tobaspino.

If it is really coming out now I wish I would have waited to ship my stuff from HLJ.

He does:

It looks a little weird due the head on Tobaspino being longer and lower than on Gabutyra but still pretty sweet looking :D

Looks really damn awesome, I cannot wait! I love Bakuretsu Spinodaioh too! So cool.

I really wish I had peace of mind that I'll get him as soon as he's released, but I know I'll have to go through the whole charade of finding him despite having a pre-order, which sort of sucks. He really looks brilliant!

Sad that he doesn't seem to be able to read other Batteries tough. I would've hoped he'd retain that gimmick of Gabutyra's too.

If the spoilers from the end of the movie mean anything then we could see Tobaspino appear later in the series and possibly even form Bakuretu Spinodaioh. Generally summer film mecha appear at least once in series down the road. That's been the trend in the last decade or so.

Tobaspino and black kyoryujin on the show please!

I don't think the black versions of the toys get screen time.

Max Victory Robo Sigma being the only exception I'm aware of.
