S.H. Figuarts DekaYellow and DekaPink (Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger) Review




Accessories (each comes with the same except the bonus):
1x Dekastick (not extended)
1x Dekastick (extended)
1x Dekaknuckle
1x Dekawappa (Deka hand-cuffs)
1x DekaShot
1x S.P. Shooter
1x S.P. License.
x7 optional hands
+x1 Dekablue hand (DekaYellow) and x1 Dekagreen hand (DekaPink) (for role call)

So, first thing's first, no Murphy (), I've voiced my disappointment on this already, so I won't complain about that, but what is interesting with these figures is that they come with a significant amount more then the previous Dekaranger figuarts! The Dekawappa (hand-cuffs) are an excellent addition that really should've come with every Dekaranger. I really wasn't expecting it, so I was pleasantly surprised! Also of not is the S.P. Shooter, the small gun they used on occasion instead of their big combined gun. It's a pretty good addition and looks pretty great, so I was happy to receive it. It is interesting to note that neither the Dekawappa or the S.P. Shooter are mentioned on the box and aren't visible from the outside of the box and weren't in any promotional pictures. It's pretty bizarre, were they late additions to the figure. They also each come with a hand for either DekaBlue and DekaGreen to be used for role-call poses (with "2" and "3" fingers pointing up respectively), because their figures just had the same set of hands as DekaRed and therefore you ended up with 3 DekaRed role-call hands.


Too bad, Marvelous. Piracy is a crime.
The Dekawappa are used by putting them around the ball-joints of the figure before putting on the hands. It's a bit tricky to get both hands in, but it looks pretty funny when its done. I really do think the Dekawappa were an awesome, unexpected addition.


Now, here's a complaint. One of the option hands, which has bombs between the fingers, replaces the S.P. Licence holding hand that the previous three came with. This makes the very disappointing situation where DekaPink and DekaYellow can't actually hold on to their S.P. Licence, which is really sad. I was looking forward to posing them all putting them forward.


In the end, they look pretty fantastic with the team together and I'm happy to have the core five completed. I would love Dekamaster and Dekabreak, but for now, I am content with my 5 and would like them to finish the Jetman, Zyurangers, Dairangers and the core 5 Boukengers and core 3 Hurricanegers before they release those 2. The additional accessories were a big surprise and I'm very pleased with them, while no Murphy is a disappointment and so is the lack of the S.P. Licence-holding hand, I am very happy with my purchase. I recommend them, go get them before its too late!

Oh man, I really hope Mandarake gets a DekaGreen in soon and Sentai emails me that he got my orders in so he can mail them out and I can finish paying him for them because I really want my Deka girls and Wizard effects set.
