Looking at the fan art for the possible sixth train, I think it would have been much better if green was all the legs and blue the body. Maybe...

Either way if the purple train thing turns out to be true, then I think I can dig that. Breaks it up a bit more, rainbow be damned =p

And it would've looked better than what they gave us.

We won't know that unless Bandai actually designed it and we see a prototype. I'm not saying these were the best decisions they could have made, but they must have put some thought into it and prioritized some things over others.

The blue and green trains look similar to the ones used on this guy:

It's three trains combining into one, but it's still more of a way I'd picture a train combiner over just slapping them all together side-by-side like this new Sentai show does.

Like some of have said, maybe people will warm up to it, but right now it's a big 'Maybe'.

You aren't someone who designs or manufactures toys for small children though. It's easy to describe something without giving real thought to how things translate from concept to reality while at the same time keeping in mind how it stays within whatever budget they have to work with.

And elbow joints? What DX toys have you been buying?

He's a 2chan poster and has been doing them since go-onger. They have a 50/50 chance of being right.

I dont know. I liked when Gokai-Oh went running through the Zangyack fleet slicing and doing damage. That was pretty awesome :lol

Awesome ones! ... That all exist in my mind, but still! Look at the Devastator Third Party toys, look at the Superion Third Party toy. Those are roughly the same size, or larger, and have amazing articulation.

Is this going to be an argument about articulation again? :lol Articulation really isn't everything.

Sentai bots are not meant to be that intricate. It's part of the charm to be blocky and immobile. Yes, recent Sentai designs are more simple than is usual, but Sentai can't go in the opposite direction and become Transformers.

Again, your ideas are too Transformer-ish. It'll be better to persuade Hasbro to give it a go than Bandai. Not only would super-articulation and intricate transformations compromise the stability, solidness, playability and price of the mecha, many fans would vehemently oppose them, such as Den-O and I myself. We like our toys to be clicky and solid.

Besides those third party toys you listed are not only fragile and meant mostly for display, they also cost about a whole season's worth of Sentai mecha. And you want that for just one robo? :lol

We have plenty of super-articulated robots: Transformers, Soul of Chogokin, etc. Even Sentai has them in SRC and the minipla. The DX could benefit from some articulation but it mustn't go down the path of super-articulation.

And are they aimed at children averaging 5-7 years old? How much do they cost in comparison?

These are incredibly important factors in your argument :lol
