Ohsama Sentai KingOhger Merchandising Thread

Listings for the KingOgher YU-DO set shows 14 boxes with 12 types. If that's two per character, and one extra (Red I assume), is there a 6th figure? Accessory pack?
|
Oh, that is strange. I genuinely can't think of anything that would be...
... Don Momotaro Black? :p |

The return of the cell phone morpher is almost like the return of the dinosaur theme. It always comes back

Oh, the phone isn't how they transform. It's the sword!

King Ohger stuff is live at AmiAmi, just ordered the robots.
Some stuff has placeholder names, so search for "Sentai" https://www.amiami.com/eng/search/li...eywords=Sentai |
Not sure if this is the right place to ask. Ive been out of the sentai dx game for a long while. Mostly collecting the minipla. But something about King Ohger tempts me (prolly bug theme). So i remember sentai clips for combining are kind of bad. The clips holding the beetle feet to ape on my great gobuster broke and ive heard Kyoryuger ones break too. Are the recent stuff sturdier in this regard?

All my Kiramager stuff is holding up well and a good chunk of that line is clear plastic. |

Man, King Ohger is awesome. It feels even more playable than Oni Taijin, likely because it's smaller and more modular, with more range to the legs. I love that we're already getting a 14 bug combo Q2, and it makes me wish I had preordered the Snail and Pill Bug on HLJ. (luckily I can always get them off Amazon, though I'll wait until I have something to ship them with)
The only issue I have with him is that the arms sometimes pop off if you try and use the outward ratchets, as they're a teensy bit stronger than the sockets. Other than that this is a sweet toy and the clear clips don't feel especially brittle. Time will tell, but the materials are so high quality that I don't feel concerned. |
I was hoping I'd have the strength to not grab King Ohger, but from the pics I see on twitter and general thoughts like that, my strength of will has dried.
Probably gonna end up ordering one next paycheck :lol |

If I had to nitpick, I'd say the smaller insects/arachnids feel a bit odd. Having two spiders form the chest and pelvis is a bit odd, especially since they're obvious parts swaps, and the ladybugs being on top of the forearms and not the side sis odd. (they can attach to the sides, but only if you flip down the stag legs) But I heard someone say that these little bugs could be linkage parts for a large combo, or serve another purpose later on, which does seem likely given the obvious clip bars on the spiders. That's pretty petty stuff though and again, odds are these idiosyncrasies are future-proofing for more elaborate combinations. We know at least from the show intro that King Ohger has a more complete, armed and armoured form coming up. Other than that this feels about as close to the Sentai Mecha I've always wanted as we've ever gotten. Articulated, solid, quality build, fun combination, cool individual bots, great paint and build. I hope that this level of quality is kept up, unlike the following mecha from DonBrothers which felt like it regressed a bit after Onitaijin itself. |
I'm still not quite sold on the smaller bugs, but I can't deny that the mecha itself looks quite well designed. I'm so glad it kept the articulation.
Just from looking, the only let down is the mantis being too chunky for my liking, but that aside, it does look too good to pass up on. I am curious to see the other mecha in the line, though. While I enjoy a nice cluster combination, when your big selling point is articulation, turning a good figure into a brick isn't the wisest idea. |
I wonder if reducing the size was done so that future combos aren't killing the weight balance. King Ohger's legs joints are all very large and heavy, more than they need to be for the size and combination as-is. I think they're prepared for further combinations using the Stag as a skeleton, thus avoiding the issue DonBrothers had where every subsequent fusion robbed the figure of more and more articulation.
I doubt they'll end up bricking this guy, though I do hope the secondary mecha isn't a brick as a result. I want a whole line of articulated, fun mecha toys, not just the first/main one. |
Quick question, SL. Can you attach the smaller bugs on the Mecha's forearms to the upper legs? I might have a theory about the secondary mecha coming out.

Edit: Oh wait are they doing online only manuals now? |
Yup, no more paper manuals.
Also I wouldn't worry about GodTonbo's wings. The clip part of the wing (the thinnest part) is opaque plastic, and the translucent wing piece itself is pretty solid. People really boogeyman transparent plastic these days but it's not the ticking time bomb they make it out to be. King Ohger's plastic feels very solid and I can't imagine it breaking any time soon. |

Most of the clear clips aren't where they need to be sturdy. There's clips on the front of the legs, which I can't imagine will hold anything but some additional armour, and clips on the soles of the feet. Those latter ones might be an issue, but anything attaching there would be the figure more or less resting on it. (like feet extensions) And again, the clear plastic doesn't seem brittle or weak at all.
Also no, Tonbo's wings are fine. The only part that could be an issue would be the outside parts of the hinge, (which are opaque blue) as those would be what would stress most if you tried to pop the wings off but, like, don't pop them off then? Again, clear plastic is not your enemy. It won't just randomly break for no reason. Hell, and this might not exactly be comforting, but Sentai robo have had plenty of clip breaking issues with opaque plastic in the past. :lol Usually it's a design issue, not a materials one. Just to play devil's advocate I played with the clear clips a bit using the spiders's legs, and they don't feel any different than the clips on the spiders' bellies. |

Clear plastic is the new GPS. People are more scared of it because they?re told to be scared of it more than it?s actually caused problems. |

SMP uses better materials, but I honestly still wouldn't tier them on the level of Gunpla. |
I unboxed the Insect Spawn of Unicron, the Big Bad Beetleborg, the Majesty of Kings today.
What an awesome toy this is. Sentai robots are in an unprecedented upward spiral right now, they keep getting better and better. https://i.imgur.com/zrc1RSS.jpg |

Hachi’s wings don’t peg into the stinger/foot. They just sit alongside it, and they couldn’t peg into it anyway because the stinger would lose its articulation. The clear wings have absolutely nothing to do with stability in combined mode. You could pop them off entirely and nothing would be affected. |

Still waiting for some Q3 leaks.

So I'm browsing for a preorder of Kabuto, Hopper, and Scorpion, and a lot of places are trying to sell the 3 pack for about $120...Which is more expensive than the mech itself.
Where would be a good spot to find the 3 pack for a normal price? |

It's not a 100% guarantee, Don Onitaijin was the Thursday I think so I missed him, some pop up on the exact date so check a few times around each day to make sure. This also extends to other DX-stuff; they don't put that up for pre-order generally. |
