Toys selling crazy would lift a low-rated show up. That's why Ohranger and Gokaiger (some of the best-selling toys in Super Sentai) are considered successes while Go-busters (which had poor selling toys AND poor ratings), was not.

No, it's the mecha, their clips have been a bit faulty in design and are fragile. Even Den-O, who takes utmost care of his toys, has had a few problems with them. At any rate, Super Sentai mecha should never be more fragile than Transformers, and should be able to withstand rough play considering how young their intended consumers are.

It's been two years with the same type of clip problems (Go-busters' Gorilla and Kyoryuger's Gabutyra), I really hope they fix this for Tokkyuger. Although, I have heard rumors that second and third batch Kyoryuger toys have improved quality, but I don't know if there's enough evidence of that yet. :(

Oh wow, I haven't heard of this. I have a friend who owns the Kyoryuger mechas, but he never mentioned anything about this.
I'm more into RP Toys and stuff, so I can just talk about those.

I'm going to put my two cents into this pot. I hate Super Sentai with a burning passion. Its bad enough I watch Power Rangers... but Sentai is just goofy and at times very off putting.

KyoRyuger? Probably on my top twelve list of Japanese Shows. =)

Yeah that was my original point, I wasn't trying to decry the quality of Japanese toys. :lol

It has nothing to do with treating the toys badly and everything to do with the clip system used with the Kyoryugers. The clips simply are bad at supporting the weight of some pieces (most often the Jyudenryu arms) and lose their grip. My Pteraidenoh, which was on the shelf in Western mode, simply lost its grip on the right clip and now needs a piece of plastic wedged in to force the clip to close inorder to support arms and that's not from touching it, that's just from leaving it on the shelf. This is also common on Gabutyra's arm clips and back clip, although mine fortunately has had no issues.Clips losing their grip is extremely common across the whole line, go to any Kyoryuger thread on any toy forum and see how many people have it happen to their toys. Apparently one of the Go-Buster mecha that had the same clip also shared the problem, but I haven't collected Go-Buster to confirm.

I haven't heard of RP toys having problems in a while. :lol Which is your favourite?

How do you hate Sentai for its goofiness and love Kyoryuger? :lol

Yeah I really wish they'd fix this. Clips were never a problem in older lines, my Power Rangers in Space Astro Megazord uses clips extensively and *touch wood* is still solid for a very old toy.
