Go on!

TokuNation is proud to present a long long overdue gallery. Rounding out our COMPLETE series of Engine Sentai Go-Onger DX mecha at last, we bring to you the DX Police Deco Gunbir-Oh! You may recall last year that for the entire month of July we took a look back at the entire Go-Onger toyline and posted galleries for each set and their various combinations. The elusive Toy Dreams Project Police Deco Gunbir-Oh was the final piece of the puzzle I'd been unable to attain until very very recently. Thankfully though I can finally share a full gallery of this wonderful set with the community! It should be noted that as a Toy Dreams Project release this is an entirely toy exclusive coloration. It's solely unique to this toy and has no basis in any show related material. Like basically all Toy Dreams Project releases.

Packaging
As a special release, Police Gunbir-Oh differs from the standard DX Gunbiroh in that it was sold as a complete 3-piece boxed set. The components of Gunbir Oh were originally sold in 3 individual boxes. As a limited Toy Dreams Project release it's only natural that these figures would be boxed together for sale. The box obviously has a bit more flare to it thanks to it featuring this new deco of Gunbir-Oh as well. It even advertises the altered G6 combination you can make with Engine Oh which is impressive.

Birca
DX Birca was originally in a mostly bright green color scheme with black for accents. For Police Deco Birca black has flipped from his base to replace all the green, while the base retains a flat gray color. The eyes have also been changed from bright yellow to white with blue pupils. The silver detailing and #4 emblem, as well as all 3 tires are largely unchanged. The Birca Engine Soul has also been changed to an opaque black plastic with a more "sparkly" foil like label on it.

Gunpherd
The least changed of the 3, Police Deco Gunpherd is only distinguishable from the original because of the gray used for his base. Otherwise it's nearly identical to the original DX Gunpherd. It's kind of understandable though as Gunpherd is already a police car and had the appropriate colors to begin with. It's a similar situation to the Gaohunter Blue Moon release with the mostly unchanged Gao Wolf & Hammerhead. The Gunpherd Engine Soul has also been changed to an opaque black plastic with a more "sparkly" foil like label on it.

Carrygator
DX Carrygator was a bright orange car carrying alligator robot. Now he's a sleek black & white Police Deco car carrying robot? Yeah alligator car carriers are still a little out there no matter what color they're in. By far this one looks the best of the trio. And oddly it has the easiest color swap. All of Carrygator's orange plastics and paint apps have been swapped for white. And since the basic figure is black with green accents already, boom you have a police gator that looks pretty damn snazzy. It really outshines the standard Carrygator. The Carrygator Engine Soul has also been changed to an opaque black plastic with a more "sparkly" foil like label on it.

Gunbir-Oh & Combinations
When all combined Police Deco Gunbir-Oh actually succeeds in being a far more cohesive looking robo than the standard version. These colors lend themselves very well to the individual vehicles as is but the combined form is incredibly appealing. The combined forms with the various other Engines benefit from this color change to an extent as well.

The one form I was most excited to create with this set involved the DX Engine Dai Shogun. Though it isn't really an official combo nothing else would be either involving Police Gunbir-Oh either. Either way I think it's befitting that 2 repaints of Go-Onger mecha that aren't normally supposed to be combined with anthing, look pretty damn snazy together. It's by far my favorite thing to do with this set. But you can also still create the Engine Oh G6, G9. & G12 with this set as there are no mold differences with it, only color. And while the G6 combo looks fine, and perhaps G9, by the time you get to 12 all of the Police Deco parts are on the feet and don't mesh with anything else sadly.

Final Thoughts
At the end of the day DX Police Deco Gunbir-Oh is by far a superfluous thing to own. It's gorgeous in these colors don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled personally to have it. But you have to be a huge Go-Onger fan to seek this one out as it's a toy exclusive coloration. Worse yet is that in most cases it's prohibitively expensive, ranging as high as $150-200 on the aftermarket. I love this thing, more than regular Gunbir-Oh by far, but it's definitely for the ultimate Go-Onger collectors.
