Drivemax Megazord Video Review - PR Operations Overdrive
 

Not anywhere near a good as DX Daiboken.

It's really sad that BOA tried to pass this thing off on us. Truly unfortunate that not only did people have to sit through the mindlessness of Operation Overdrive, but they also didn't have proper toys to go with it :(

Man that thing is fugly. Glad I got the HK Reissue. The Dual Drive actual came as two different sets. The first is the one that doesnt include the jet but has a black version of the dump driver. That one has the crane head, but the cement mixer and crane trucks were just boots. The second one that is the equivalent of Daitanken doesnt have the crane head but has semi proper cement mixer and cranes. So in order to make verything in the Tv show, you had to buy THREE sets. Ugh.

Thanks for reviewing it. Must've been tough.

I came for Drivemax, I stayed for Ape Face. I had Snapdragon as a kid and sometimes muse about trying to recollect both of the Triple changer Headmaster Horrorcons. It is currently one of those times.

Overdrive was the preverbal 'bottom of the barrel' for PR. Produced in 2006 and aired in 2007, it's almost like Disney and Bandai KNEW that there was a economic collapse coming since they seemed to spend little to no money on either the show or production of the toys.

Would you believe this is the third review I done of this set. The other two reviews I couldn't publish because I wasn't happy with them. This Megazord is so bad it effected my reviewing ability!

Cant say i blame you. Ive seen so many bad reviews for this thing where the reviewer couldnt be impartial. I never had any interest in Daibouken till i started watching all the BoA reviews, i felt obligated to get the whole sentai range.

when i first saw this set, i just facepalmed until i had a hand print on my face. that's how bad it was.

What a mess. I really feel bad for anyone who got it hoping to have a more affordable alternative to the DX. How long did the BOA Megazord's stay this way? I know RPM had gutted electronics and were smaller, slightly simpler, but they didn't look nearly as bad as this.

All of them after Operation Overdrive are sadly inferior (well thats subjective). RPM's was ok. But those weak shoulder connectors and the fact his face isnt hidden under the helmet detracts from it. I cant forgive Samurai's non origami zords and that damned dragon.

Couldn't possibly agree with you more. The way BOA has nerfed toys in the last few years is insulting. If Japanese kids can enjoy fully functional DX"s and still cater to adult collectors thanks to BOJ then damn it, BOA should at least be able to do the same for us.

And yes the US release Shinken Oh is a step in the right direction. But that's what the whole line should be. Things like that shouldn't be one off special releases.
