A couple thoughts. It looks better in hand than it does in the pictures, you'd think with the length of the arms they could've given him a simple elbow joint, and I laughed like an immature nine year old when I saw the front of the red flip up from between the legs of Tokyo-Oh. And already I see so many joints and connections to become loose and break. So many.

I kinda like that the flaps that open to reveal ToQ-Ohs face are Train doors :lol

I was just going to say the same thing. That is kinda brilliant and I bet it will look cool on the show. Did we know about this before now?

I dont think we did

ToQ Oh. Not Tokyo.

And what joints are you looking at? The slide mechanism that hold the 3 center trains together are brilliant and pretty much ensure they won't break unless you just tear them apart. And the shoulder joints are pegs in sockets. As are the connectors between the 2 piece train cars. So again, what are you talking about that looks breakable? This is the most safe solid engineering Sentai DX's have had in years.

I type it like I say it.

The arm connecters look like they could sag eventually just because of the length of the arms, the connecter in the chest after red folds in half. They just look like fail points.

Yes the chest connectors are standard fare DX clips. But there's like 2 of them. Hardly something to worry about. Take it from someone whose seen DX Sentai QC from the Ups and Downs, this appears to be a solidly engineered toy.

Those standard DX clips are usually a problem though. I'm not saying they'll break as easily as people said they did on Kyoryuzin, but given time maybe.

Man this stuff looks great. Kinda interested in the whole Ressha gimmick though, isn't this gonna be like the most expensive gimmick ever?

ToQ-Oh looks pretty cool. Still a little weird, but looks like a fun toy. More involved with the transformation than I originally thought.

Can't wait to see the minipla.

Man, that is one obnoxious changer.

My major concern right now is how much play value there is with the Resshas that come with the Changer/ other roleplay stuff. I usually just focus on Mecha & don't really have the space to diversify that much.

It is kind of shitty that you have to buy all the roleplay toys to complete the secondary mecha.

And kinda shitty you need the mecha for the roleplay toys, to an extent. I get keys or whatever gimmicks but this shit sounds COSTLY.

It's kind of shitty that neither the mecha nor roleplay toys even look good on top of all that.

I disagree, well ok I'll give You toq-oh. I don't think he looks terrible but could be better. As for the role play I think the look great. I really like the wepions this year, but everyone has a most valid point with way they are sold.

At 46 seconds is that a train you got or are you just happy to see me. :-p

Seriously though, that still looks bland as ****. It has even less posseability than previous mechs too.

Another video from k2eizo, this one's on the Tok-Q-Blaster.

My complaint is that it doesn't have sounds, I mean I'm usually not a fan of sounds in mecha, but this thing NEEEEEEDS sound to make it passable. even like a choo choo sound would have been fine.

I actually like the look of the mecha. Lately the mechs in sentai have either been really complicated, or the mecha only has about 3 of the 5 rangers as a part of it, like Kyoryuzin.

Which secondary mecha do you mean?
If it is the sixth rangers mecha then that does not use the roleplay trains. That uses the sixth ranger's train the light blue train and the car carrier train.

!?!?

Ya know, after seeing folks modify the arm pegs to add joints, there really was no excuse not to give pose-ability to Kyoryuijin :(

The look is growing on me, but I agree with the person you quoted that it needs sounds.

Guessing he means the extra arms and such on ToQ-oh

Well sometimes they stick on the RIGHT arm as well as the LEFT ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Zomg!!!111!!!!!!1!

I honestly can't see the complaints anymore. Seeing videos of these has me more excited than ever for the toys. They're more fun and complex than initial scans had lead us to believe. The sliding locks on the mecha are really great and secure. The combination is simple sure, but that doesn't make it bad. The proportions may not be perfect, but honestly what sentai robo has perfect proportions anyway? There's more I can forgive and actually like than I can outright dislike.

The additional mecha coming with Role Plays does suck. I don't want role play weapons, but I do want the Resshas, all of them. So I'm gonna buy everything and sell all the weapons. That seems like an easy solution to me. I get to keep all the Resshas because I just can't have an incomplete DX mecha collection, and I can hopefully recoup some of my costs.

I was gonna go halves on ya, but seeing how the RP items need the Resshas puts me off a little.

There's 11 Ressha we know about right now (not counting what comes with the roleplay) and the show hasn't even STARTED yet.

Could be a very expensive year...

Understandable. I guess I can always toss them on ebay.

You know what Bandai needs to release: Train Tracks with color codes light up rails. Like the full Rainbow Line to place your Ressha on. I would be hyped for that.

Really liking how ToQ-oh turned out. It looks really nice, it has a simple, but effective combination, I like that there is no partsforming or anything like that. Looking forward to the series.

Yup, and a powered train version of the ressha. If not, someone will.

I like ToQ-Oh a lot mroe then I thought I would. I really like that all the trains connect before turning into a robot, I can't think of any other Sentai mecha that's done that.

I will definitely get ToQ-Oh and the ToQ Changer, but I may pass on the rest. I'm just not that into trains. Devestated I missed preorders, I'll have to hound Amiami for the spare stock when the preorders arrive. Or wait for Mandarake, the changer and main mecha are never rare on there.

Well as I said before, if anybody wants the ToQ Blaster or ToQ Buckle they're up for grabs. I just want the Blaster and Shield Resshas they come with.

ummm to bad i want those too or i jump on this offer in a hart beat. unless the relise capsle versons like with the rider stuff. i would fell much better if they did

I think it's almost guaranteed they will. The auxiliary Resshas don't have many moving parts or transform all that much. Hell the Blaster Ressah just literally plugs on to ToQ Oh's elbow. The Shiled however splits down the middle. I know the standard fare changer Ressahs don't do anything but surely they'll release some sort of capsule style releases that do?

Either way the RP's are still on the table. I just paid up my Amazon JP order for all this stuff. I literally just want to recoup half my money. Whoever takes these off my hands gets the role play and I get the Ressha, we split the actual price right down the middle.

On first viewing of the video, I actually have impoved my opinion on the Resshas and ToQ-Oh quite a bit. It's impressive to me that they managed to get 5 trains all about the same size that combine decently into a super robot. I say this as opposed to JRX/Rail Racer from the Transformers Car Robots/Robots In Disguise line, where one of the trains was much larger than the other two to accomodate the super robot's legs.

The combined form reminds me of a 70s Super Sentai more than anything modern. At least, the base form does. I am sure all of the extra forms will be more modern looking, like Daibouken. But overall I am impressed with this toy and look forward to seeing the actual robot on the show.

Daibouken is one of my most favourite modern Zords - although I am ashamed to say I have never seen Boukenger and discovered it through OO - I just love giant robots that FEEL like giant robots. If they do something like that here, I'll fall in love with the show.

I really love ToQ-Oh.

For anyone that bought him, how much was he shipped?

Daibokuen is one of the all time great sentai robo designs. And if a sense of scale helps, I'd say we'll be seeing a good aspect of that in ToQger. Just the way ToQ Oh transforms from 5 trains running down the rails, to standing upright while skating down them provides some scale to me.
