I think the lack of actual feet is what bugs me. It just stands on poles basically and that isn't very pleasing to me. If something could plug on and make feet I'd be satisfied.

The shoulders of Tousei (parts of rhino's trailer) would of been my suggestion if I were designing it.

Unfortunately. Unless they include additional joints with the whale to form knees just for this form, it'd still leave a gigantic gap between the blocks just to get them any clearance beyond a 5 degree tilt...

Yeah, while I'm working on getting Tousai, unless the whale really wows me in the series, I think I'd be fine with the minipla to Wild Tousai Zyuoh.

I can't wait to see how it looks on the show. This is going to be interesting.

The bigger problem is that with the minipla it literally cannot stack 3 2 1. I just checked. The top parts of 1's arms jut out, preventing it from stacking normally. Which means somethings going to change in the design of the model version, or who knows what.

For those who want the plushies, AmiAmi has them now! :). Added Amu to my order and cancelled my HLJ one since they back ordered it anyway >_<

Oh, man. I just read a review of the Beast Saga Zip Builder, and suddenly, I understand what the inspiration for Zyuohger was. It's not just the mecha-converting cubes, but the unarticulated animal-hero mini-figures. The Minecraft styling would've been a secondary design element.

Mostly, it throws me because it shows some of the potential of what the Zyuohger line could've done without the stake-through-the-cubes gimmick.

Shukuen Shinobi had an interesting theory in these reviews. These repaints match the colors of the four Zyuman Zyuohgers, so it would be cool to have them do the visor up change into these animals.
Shark to Platypus
Lion to Jaguar
Elephant to Owl
Tiger to Zebra

I think someone point this out before and we though they would get visior up in the Hyper DVD special. Well with the first ep out none of them got anything. It could still happen in the VS Super Sentai time will tell.
