DX CB-01 Go-Buster Ace Gallery
 

Busters, Ready, Go! Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters is in it's final stretch with only a handful of episodes left to go. But before we say goodbye to Go-Busters and hello to Kyoryuger, we here at Tokunation.com are goingto to take an in depth look back at the DX toyline of this controversial series.

The first entry in the DX Buster Machine Series is none other than the CB-01 Go-Buster Ace! Piloted by Red Buster and his Buddyroid Nick Cheeda, the Go-Buster Ace is the first mecha of the series. Capable of fighting Vagras Megazords independently or combined with the other buster machines, the Ace is a memorable and unique design.

The end of Go-Busters is a chance to remember it for it's innovation for some, or to celebrate it's demise for others. What ever side of the fence you stand on please join as we begin our extensive look back at the ENTIRE line of DX Go-Busters mecha!

How much articulation is in his arms? It looks like he can do more then you're average DX toy can.

So I see the whole hollow legs thing wasn't a problem that the Candy Toy just had…couldn't they have figured out some way to use a folding panel to cover that huge gap in his leg?

The elbow is double jointed, and the shoulder can move side to side as well. Think Oh Robo/Zeo Megazord arm articulation. As for the empty legs, I see it is a by-product of the transformation. Since the thighs collapse into that space in vehicle and animal modes I don't see too many good ways they could have fixed it.

@Den-O: How much did you pay for your lightbox? Yeah, I know kinda off topic LOL!

No worries! I made it actually. Just a couple of desk lamps, cardboard, and tissue paper :lol

This guy certainly was a very ambitious toy. Do you know if the ambitiousness of the toy sacrificed any bit of his durability? Are they the same strong, clicky joints of previous Super Sentai mecha?

I've also heard the ball joint connecting the sword has the potential to cause stress marks.

Same strong joints, I'm happy to report! The Gorilla is the only figure in this line that has weak clips since they break rather easily.

And I can certainly see where the ball joint in the hand could stress but mine hasn't at all. It's a pretty well designed joint overall. Unless you just continuously man-handle it I believe it should be fine.

Not going to lie, I can't wait for the American Go-Busters adaptation just to get this guy. I LOVE Zords which turn into their own stand alone mecha, then pieces of a larger one.

Great gallery! I think if I pick up any recent DX mecha, its going to be this guy. He's one of the coolest Sentai mecha in years.

For some reason he reminds me of Speedor from Go-onger. Maybe it's the red with the face on the front.

That having been said I do like his robot mode. Very nicely proportioned and the design looks very sharp. Nice gallery, Den-O!
