While they might warm up to me as well, I can't picture myself ever wanting to actually purchase the toys.

Oh man these new pics just continue to sell me on this line. Rabbit hole. I continue to fall down it.

damn you bandai, why do hate my wallet so much?

Those suits look akward. I can't think of any other word for it. It's not awful. There's a lot of good ideas, but all together it just looks...akward.



On the good size, that GabRevolver is awesome. I have a soft spot for sci-fi revolvers and that sure is a T-Rex revolver with nostril barrels. And it's yellow too, so it's Nerf...or nothing. I'm sure the samba music will ruin it, but until than that's awesome.

The Gaburevolver takes what Beet and Stag attempted with a changer and makes it better. Definitely always loved the idea of a gun changer. So seeing a cyber dino pistol that eats batteries? Yup, pants, I need new ones.

What they did was drop the stupid cell phone gimmick and make it just a gun morpher.

then may we fall down it together

Yeap, that's my favorite part too.

First impressions:
1) I love the combined Kyoryujin. I love the proportions, with the high, strong shoulders, large feet and blocky shape. I simply love how uniform in shape the arms are, instead of merely being the Zord components with hands peeking out.

2) There's a certain sense of uniformity formed by the yellow stripes that go through the individual components. Gives it a cohesive look. The mecha overall looks stocky and strong and even somewhat reminiscent of pre-Gaoranger mecha.

3) The transformation actually looks like there's more than meets the eye. It looks deceptively simple, but I believe there's more going on than say, Gokaioh or Gosei Great.

4) The gimmicks are integrated rather well. I like how their mouths are both connectors and battery receptors.

5) It's confirmed, the Ranger suit design is great.

HOWEVER:
1) Not a fan of a 3-piece mecha where Red takes up most of the body. They executed it well here, but just not a huge fan of the concept.

2) Aside from Red, the individual components don't impress me much yet. For one thing, their colors are terribly loud, in a preschool toy sort of way. Again, this might be better with improved pictures, so I'm hopeful. I also hope those tiny legs in the individual mecha lock in place, wasn't a fan of Gaoranger's free moving beast legs in the GaoIcarus.

3) Not a big problem, but this is the first mecha without a sword since Gekiranger.

Overall, I'm rather impressed. It seems they've taken steps towards making a toy that is full-featured and interesting yet keeps a nice silhouette and shape.

The newly revealed photos are even more impressive. The mecha and suit designs grow more and more on me each time I see them.

i agree you on every thing here. what happens to the stego spiks?

I'm pretty much sold on this.I'm starting to like how it looks,especially since the higher definition pics came out.It still looks like it has a cape,which is always a plus for me.Also elbow joints? It looks like it in the better pics (especially so on the Stego arm)

I'm also keeping in mind the release of the second and third mechas,which there usually are 2 or 3 and they usually combine.That could be why the Kyoryujin has long looking arms and big feet.Could be a hint at something better.

I have faith in this series for the fact that the guys who did W are doing this,which means it could be better then it first looks.Quite honestly I have no qualms with the Rangers themselves,their suits and gear look awesome.And I do like the mecha,save the bright pink triceratops.The one time I would accept the pink rangers mech/zord being white with pink accents,and they finally say "Ok,we'll make it pink"*facepalm*
