Now I've actually watched Dairanger, I think Kou is a much better character than Tommy, and since it'll cost me more and be harder to attain, this nostalgia packaging is largely worthless for me.

Lol you lucky dog you!..... I can't afford one :(

That's great! Can't wait to get mine.

Having not watched Dairanger, I already think Kou is a much better character than Tommy.

Tommy was pretty awesome as the Green Ranger - well the evil one. He's never been awesome again.

I like Tommy, but I was never one of those "TOMMY IS THE GREATEST RANGER EVER!" people.

I like Tommy too, but he's been a victim to the fact that he's appeared in pretty much every one of the bad seasons of Power Rangers.

Does anyone know if the Japanese release will have other accessories?

Yes. The JPN release of KibaRanger will have a little chest symbol accessory for the AkibaWhite ranger thing, thats it.

So how come he comes with two swords? Is one for the holster? Or do both blades slide off and are exchangeable?
