It's better than previous BoA morphers, but I'll have to wait and see how they use it in the show to decide if I want to get it.

I already have the Tensouder, which I love. That was the first morpher I had bought since MMPR, because it was so MMPR-ish in how they held it and morphed. I loved the Tensouder sounds, too. "Gotcha!"

I think I like the sharper contrast in colors on the BoA version (albeit it lacks subtlety), but the voice and noises are a bit obnoxious/extreme for my taste. At least they kept the little light on the front. I also like how the BoA version is a bit thinner - though I wonder how that will effect holding it to morph. The BoJ version was easy to hold because it had that belt attachment you could easily grasp.

I can't stand the BoA packaging. Call me crazy, but I'd prefer it if every man, woman, and child who just sneezed or ate McDonald's wasn't rubbing their greasy, germy hands all over my toys before I bought them. Studies have shown that the amount of bacteria on toy boxes and in toy stores is shocking. Not having the toy covered also makes it more susceptible to dust and damage, and people trying it out just wears out the product faster. If I were to buy this, I'd probably order it from Amazon or pick it up when I noticed a fresh shipment in a store. I like how BoJ products always come in bags (vinyl figures) or sealed boxes from the factory. I think the Japanese are more sanitary.
