I'm actually kind of disappointed that Gigant Kyoryuzin is the final combination.
Not because it's not a clusterfuck-Oh, but because Pteragordon is left out again.
I'm also not a fan of how 80% of Bragigas's body mass is excluded. Seriously, the only pieces of Bragigas present are, what, the arms, a chest plate, and that piece that attaches to Kyoryzin's left shoulder? Really kind of underwhelming.

I do find it a bit dumb that most of Bragiga is dedicated to holding the beast batteries. I would much rather not have the batteries at all and be able to have ALL the Voltsaurs combine together.

That would be something.

Still hoping for some Plezuon Pteragordon combo.

Bragigas holds the Legendary Beast Batteries because, as it said in episode, he was like a Father to the Legendary Guardians. So why wouldn't he use their power when he Gattai (When He Gattai, I think I made my first toku-HipHop track)? And use them for his ultimate attack. Pteragorden doesn't fit on because where would he exactly?

To be honest, I'm pretty underwhelmed with Gigant Kyoryuzin too. It's a bad mess of parts to rival Kanzen GokaiOh (who actually looks better IMO). Tis a shame because Bragigas himself is pretty sweet.

Cannot wait to see Silver in action though. It's what I've been waiting for since day 1.

The suits for both robots on show look incredible. I loved Kanzen Gokaioh's suit and I really like Gigant Kyoryuzin's. The toy execution however is far better in the case of Kanzen. Gigant just looks so awkward as a toy. I've ordered my DX Bragigas finally but I basically plan to have it displayed as Bragi-Oh instead.

I am a little disappointed the how little of bragigas they use for the combo. I do however like how the used all five main voltasaurs. I now will need to get the minipla to finish my mini Dino army

I feel so bad for the poor people who have to wear the Gattai suits for Kyoryuger :lol They keep getting bigger and heavier!

Man the mechs just get worse and worse looking. Also, just silver look a little... heavy to anyone else?

Maybe if the mechs were better designed...

are we sure that this is the final? stranger things have happened...

A wing pack for all I care.

I will have Bragigas tomorrow so I will let you know if it's possible to slap Pteragordon on there somewhere.

Well theory-crafting as I only have the Minipla (minus Bragigas) and have watched reviews of the DX toys:
I would suspect that you can remove the giant battery-cannon backpack from the back Gigant Kyoryujin and hopefully get Pteragordon on there. The problem is that the tail (or an extra tail from Turbospino) won't touch the ground so no back support. Also dunno if the shoulder mount for Parasagun will get in the way.

You can easily snap Pteragordon on the back of Kyoryuzin when using the Bragi-backpack as the Zyudenchi cannon. The thing is that the only way to stabilize Pteragordon, even in the Raiden Kyoryuzin combo, is by using Gabutyras yellow tail piece. It rests on the ground and balances the whole combo.

In this combo Kyoryuzin stands on the legs of Bragigas and winds up being about 2 or 3 inches higher off the ground. And the yellow tail section is used as a part of the combos helmet. At which point there's nothing to hold Ptera, making it all the more likely that the clips on Gabutyra's back will break. I can't see any logical way to attach it that won't increase the risk of breakage.

My main problem with Gigant Kyoryuzin is that yet again it uses Gabutyra as the leg base. I only own th eminipla and minipla Gabutyra is pretty crappy when all said and done. Rocket Kyoryuzin as a result is crap just because Gabutyra's legs are crap and now it looks to be the same yet again.

I'm starting to feel a lot better about my decision to sell my Kyoryuger stuff and wait for the American release. If Bandai sticks with the zord-builder system, then I'm sure tons of different combinations will be possible with this line...and if anything breaks I won't have to sell any body parts on the black market to replace it.

Owning the MiniPla too... Bakuretsu Kyoryujin isn't bad if you... just... leave it there.

Which defeats the purpose of MiniPla, IMO, they're supposed to be posable!

I'm sorry but that's a pretty big exaggeration. Kyoryuzin can be found for $40 & $50 pretty regularly before shipping. And the second runs of that set have stronger clips as well.

Well yeah...its an exaggeration. Obviously zords don't cost as much as kidneys, but they're still quite expensive. I'm not sure where you're getting those prices for Kyoryujin, but he's still $70 on HLJ before shipping (and if you're talking about buying used, then there's really no way to ensure that you're buying a new model with the stronger clips). I paid $120-ish shipped for Kyoryujin new, $80 for Pteragordon, $40 for each auxilary...that adds up really quickly (I've got $70 in minipla alone). I was mainly just making the point that the American line will be much cheaper and will most likely provide many more combination options.

I paid a grand total of $80 shipping included for my Kyoryuzin, and I paid maybe $40 plus shipping each for Pteragordon and Plesuoh. There are tons of sites that don't price gouge nearly as badly as HLJ does. Look on Mandarake, I've seen Kyoryuzin's sell on the regular for $40-$60 pretty much since this show started. There are most certainly affordable prices for these figures. $40 a pop for the arm mecha is crazy, I got each for 1500 yen which at the time was about $18 each before shipping.

But the simple fact is that whatever ever BOA offers for an american adaptation, it will probably simplify the Zyudenchi gimmick a bit, it won't transform accurately, and won't be as cheap as it should be to reflect these differences.

I think HLJ is probably the most reasonably priced site for buying new items. AmiAmi has comparable prices but they overcharge for their shipping, and CSToys shipping costs are just plain ridiculous. Mandarake has some good prices, but like I said, those are all used items, and with this particular line you want to make sure that you're getting a second-run release with strong clips (which Mandarake can't ensure). Also, $40 for the arm mecha is about what they cost. I suppose that those would be safe to order used from Mandarake since they don't have clips, but their retail price is around $25 apiece. Once you add shipping to that, then you're spending at least $40.

As for the BoA release, they very well may remove or modify the Jyudenchi gimmick, but we got spin disks with Samurai, almost the complete set of headers for MegaForce and they're releasing ranger keys next year, and I don't think any of those gimmicks were simplified (especially the keys which were enhanced with springs). They'll most certainly be smaller, but I don't doubt that they'll be included and functional. Honestly, what I'd like to see are Jyudenchi with zord-builder ports on either end (with pegs on Gabutyra and inside each arm). That way you could attach each arm by the battery and remove the need for clips entirely.

HLJ also tends to list items for sale that they then don't get any stock in of, and then don't notify people about it. Which is what happened with every single DX Kyoryuger figure I ordered from them. I was never notified that literally everything I ordered went to back order or was listed as discontinued even though I got in on day 1 of their pre-orders. So for me they're pretty much a no go, permanently. They are completely unreliable.

And Manadarake is not "all used" either so I don't know where you're getting that from. They sell plenty of brand new and unopened toys. In most cases their auctions say a box is opened but the contents are unused, which is true. Even when they have something that's used they qualify it with a statement saying that it's still brand new or the box has a small ding or something. So don't assume that just because they sell it it's used. I've bought plenty of my brand new completley sealed figuarts from there and on more than one occassion sealed DX robs.

I've ordered from them as well and agree that I've gotten some new items (and even the things that were opened were almost always in perfect condition), however, its still a secondhand market and there would be no way to ensure that you were buying a second-run Kyoryujin.

Also, just out of curiosity, I hear a lot of people complaining about Gabutyra, but were there ever any problems with Pteragordon? I've heard a few people say that the clips on it were reinforced as well with the second release, but I've never actually heard of one breaking. It seems like that single waist connector would be much more prone to breaking than anything on Gabutyra, but I didn't keep mine for long enough to find out.

I've heard of Pteragordon breaking, and in fact last year people said the same thing about Go-Buster Beet. But I've never had issues with either of those. Gabutyra has one broken clip on mine, Tobaspino appears to have the reinforced clips since it came out a bit later so that's one still fine too. My only Kyoryu breakage has been Gabutyra thus far.

Yeah, I forgot about Beet having the same issue (sold him as well). I think I transformed him once or twice, but mainly kept him as the feet for Great Go-buster where none of the clips were used.

If the new clips are actually better, then I'd thought about getting the Black Kyoryujin and Bragigas since the colors would complement each other quite well. But then I think...do I want mecha, or do I want a PS4...decisions...

call me crazy but i cant wait for the boa versions to come out because they use a peg system which i dont understand why boj doesnt do that especially with breakage. i dont care much about paint apps, im more interested in the quality of them, i think boa has stepped up in that department which boj hasnt.

The stronger clips were implemented on later releases of Kyoryuzin and Tobaspino so I have to imagine they will be on Black Kyoryuzin. I'm going to be crazy careful with that beauty either way.

Pegs might make for easier combinations but it isn't accurate and the quality is hardly on par with BOJ. 2 figures (Gabutyra, Go-Buster Beet) have had widespread clip problems recently. The last time I recall anything even remotely similar was the dolphin on Senpuujin. Well over 10 years ago now. This isn't a question of quality, it's about a design flaw. One flaw hardly tells me that BOJ's quality is going downhill.
