I had it at one point and enjoyed it. I still wish that Gokai-Oh was just a giant transforming galleon. But from a toy sales perspective, i can understand why he had the random limbs that have no pirate association.

Everytime I look at this guy and then back at my American version, I sigh and shake my head. If the Japanese version wasn't so expensive, I'd be all over getting it. Shame BoA stopped apparently giving us the import versions after the Samurai/Shinkenger one.

There is the Korean version you might want to consider. Normally I don't trust the Korean versions (my Gaoranger GaoIcarus was horrible) but some Rangerboard members say the Gokaiger ones are exactly the same bar the Korean sounds (which isn't a problem on Gokaioh).

If i owned this mecha i could not resist the urge to put things that does not belong inside the arm/legs/body compartments hehehe

I should really get one of these sometime. I already have 2 versions of the minipla which I love, and am planning on getting the BoA version (mainly for Zeo powers) but it would be nice to have the original too.

The SRC can stay the hell away from me though :lol

The SRC wasn't that good, huh?

Even if I'm not into Sentai, this is still a cool figure. And it helps that pirates are cool.

I kinda wonder what size figure could fit inside some of those compartments. It'd be fun to turn the ranger key, open all the ports, and a five strong squad of SIC figures pop out, but i doubt even a crouching one would fit. OH! LEGO MINIFIGS!

Also, I'll be resigned to getting the BOA version of this. Still, I look forward to the mix-n-match with my Shinkenger Zordbuilder and my Legacy Megazord. Should be entertaining.

Never bought it, but it just looks plain odd.

I freaking LOVE the chest cannon, it's so badass. I don't really care for the individual zords because they're a little uninspired and I think of Gokai-Oh purely as a giant robot, not a gestalt. Am I weird for thinking that?
