DX Gokai Machine Furaimaru Gallery
 

Once again we're bringing you a Gokai Machine gallery from Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger!

Today's subject is the grand power of Hurricaneger, DX Gokai Machine Furaimaru! Furaimaru is of course based on the character of the same name from Ninpu Sentai Hurricaneger. In fact just like Gaolion he's meant to specifically BE the character he represents, albeit in a new modified body.

As you can see here, Gokai Machine Furaimaru differs greatly from the original. The Gokai version isn't constrained with the need to fit into Karakuri Balls, but at the same time is constrained by the design of it's massive spring loaded shurikens. The Gokai Version also opted for green over the originals blue. The green itself and the very overt shuriken theme are obvious homages to Shurikenger and his mecha Tenkuujin. The figure itself is very similar to Gokai Machines Magi Dragon and Patstrike in that it breaks down into 5 components and can be fully stored in Gokai Oh's compartments when not used.

When the Gokai Oh dial gimmick is activated the spring loaded shurikens in the arms and legs will spring forward. Now they may appear to be cumbersome, and that's because they are! They're very big and look very silly, but this isn't far off from the Gokai Oh's on screen appearance. The new helmet and chest piece are spring loaded like the other parts, however it doesn't fully pop onto Gokai Oh's head. After it springers out you need to manually attach it via the clip on top of the head and then fold the crests out on each side. The new face however looks great and is a double homage to Furaimaru and the Hurricanegers main robo, Senpuujin. This combined form with Furaimaru is called Hurricane Gokai Oh!

The large shuriken stored on Furaimaru's back can also be held by Gokai Oh. However the rather larger (and aforementioned to be cumbersome) shurikens in either arm make it difficult. The large shuriken is not on a chain as it is in show.

So, is this a perfect toy? No. But replicating a hyper physical robot ninja who flies on a giant shuriken, can duplicate himself, and throw tons of Kunai blades at a time doesn't seem entirely easy to do in toy form :lol This toy compromises a bit of it's individual form toward the combined one and a bit of the combined form loses out for the individual. It's not perfect in either mode, but at it's price point it would be a fair addition to any Gokaiger collection!

Looks cool when not combined! I'll be buying it regardless as it's the final Gokai mech I need! Thanks for the gallery, it's why I've waited to purchase it!

Perfect example of how the Gokaiger stuff looks amazing in show but so very complicated to pull off in toy form. Furaimaru looks amazing, just like in show. But then you combine it and it's like what happened?! :lol But who knows, maybe this is another one that BoA can do better.

...Wow. The combined form looks terrible. Outside of the head, it looks horrible...

Nice gallery! I liked this guy somewhat, cant wait to see what happens with him.

Definetly looks better not combined,but I must say I like how the helmet looks when it is combined and is an homage to the head of the Senpuujin.

I always thought the concept of the Pirate Bot becoming a ninja was amusing.

Furaimaru is a really odd oddity.:lol I like the fact it's green and not red like other Grand Powers.

I wonder if the PR version will be able to retain the helmet flip-up.

This is just simply an exquisite gallery. Furaimaru isn't the best adaptation that Bandai has done, but it looks amazing when combined with Gokai-Oh. The American version of this toy will probably be missing some of the features, but it may also fix some of the problems. This gallery shows the best side of this toy.

I love this guy. Cant wait to see what we get here in America for Gokaioh.

Ah, so this is the Ninja Zord.

Can someone tell me what all the Gokai Machines are?

I know of the following:
MagiDragon/Mystic Dragon zord
GaoLion/Lion Wildzord
Patstriker/S.P.D. zord
ZeoZord
Machalcon/Falcon Racer zord
Furaimaru/Ninja Zord

What else is there?

I really love this combo because it's a pirate ninja! Can't wait to see the American version of this.

I was glad to see a Hurricanger tribute episode and loved that they continuously used this little guy often.

I'm anxious to see what BoA does with him if they do.

great gallery. but this is my least favorite Gokai Machine.

Meh, this add-on mecha hasn't been my favorite, but the gallery is nice. Hopefully the US version is neat

Wish I had gotten that machine. I missed out on him. I'll have to hope that BOA puts one out.

I thought it was really, really cool that this was a literal evolution of the original Furaimaru. The actual little guy himself always looked cool to me.

But the combination just never did it for me. The shin shuriken look and giant holes left in the arms just look bad.

Thats it. Unless BoA decides to make a new one like the Zeo Racer. Though there was the Gorenger thing that never had a toy

Gosei: "Rangers! I now give you the ULTIMATE ZORD POWER! A power that is made of the Morphing Grid itself...

THE LEGENDARY ULTRAJET!":lol

BoA has one other small-scale Zord to do: the lion zord. So that's:
Gokaioh/The Legendary Megazord
GoZyuJin/???
MagiDragon/Mystic Dragon zord
GaoLion/Lion Wildzord
Patstriker/S.P.D. zord
ZeoZord
Machalcon/Falcon Racer zord
Furaimaru/Ninja Zord

plus the unknown Lion zord listing, which I think might be either Lost Galaxy or Dairanger/MMPR S2.

And I want 'em all except MagiDragon.

But Lost Galaxy already has a cycle. Unless they find some other zord, and I dont see them makin a Dairanger, since the only Lion there would be the Tiger zord.

Foo Lion. The black/green Thunderzord.

This is one of the more interesting Gokai machines, but I can see how the BoA version has the potential to work better

I dont see them makin that. A one zord that wasnt a Reds, and wasnt used that much in the series itself. Plus theyd have to use a complete new mold design.

A mold hodgepodge of the Tiger Tank and Red Lion Zord to homage the Tiger Thunderzord?

Furaimaru on his own looks bad freaking ass. Unfortunately, he's my least favorite of the add ons for Gokai-Oh.

I still dont see them doin that for that zord. If they hadnt already done the cycle, Id say Lost Galaxy. I mean, most all power vehicles were the Reds, or the red was was used to form it.

MagiDragon, Red rode it and controlled it.
PatStriker, Reds Zord
GaoLion, reds Zord
Thunderzord/Furaimaru, Red helped summon it
Machalcon, Red was one of two who created it.

So I cant see anythin not related to a Red makin it.

Is there gonna be a Super Megaforce version of this, because I don't know how they are going to get away with all of the Shurikens without parents complaining.

Tiger Thunderzord: The pilot went on to become Red? Yeah I'm just gasping at straws by this point.

Looks cool but is lacking.

I really hope this comes over to America, but that chest gimmick might be too complex for BOA toys.

I do wonder if they will ever explain why he changed his look and all that.
I kinda miss the crescent moon on him.

Not a bad toy at all. It's a nifty concept at least. Does look much better when separate from Gokaioh though.

Interesting design, if a little bland. Outside of the helmet, the combined mode is a tad boring.

Can't wait to see how it turns out here in the states

Furaimaru was always my favorite of the Gokai Machines... not too sure why though. :lol

that combined mode, it's like ninja storm.

Gokaiger's Furaimaru and Hurricanger's Furaimaru sure looks freaky! But quite alluring. Especially with the new color that the Gokaiger version's rockin'!

It sure stands out the most on it's own!

Indeed. Very humorous indeed.

I'm on the fence about him too. He's the only color that doesn't really match the rest of the Gokai Machines either.

I can't wait to see what BOA does with him though.

Yeah, ninja pirate! Though the shurikens sticking out do seem a bit funny looking, both in toy form and on TV.
