I feel like maybe the omission of the foldable t-rex staff and whites unextended blade means that maybe they plan a box set to milk the molds a second time as super dino mode? Or that a folded version is packed with a later release. I mean they did the canon for mmpr and zeo's weapons show the ability to combine, so i guess the team final attack formation is something they're aiming for each team.

I grew up with the disney era and Dino Thunder is my favorite season next to its successor, S.P.D. The suits were great, the story was thrilling, and their arsenal was fantastic. The figure looks just as great as I imagined Hasbro's take would look, knocking roided legacy red straight out of the water. Im not going to lie, this figure has its shortcomings: the unpainted staff with immovable mouth, the terrible Connor headsculpt ( really looks more like an aged Marshall from HIMYM, than it does Connor), and the silver visor outline rather than white. However, overall, this figure nails all the sweet spots for a great representation. The paint apps and details are on point, all the appropriate weapons and effects are included, and the joints are functional and unecumbered. All the hallmarks of a good figure. I look forward to ordering my copy, just really hope my copy has good qc and doesn't have joints issues like yours does.
