-The legs are too far apart, permanently splayed out to a degree that makes them unappealing. The individual Dragonzord mode looks at best, like it's trying to take a dump.
-The drill is ridiculously oversized, it's laughable how big that thing is. And for what purpose? The single speculated zord builder port on it? Even then what use is it? How's something else being completely wrong a decent trade off for the rest of the figure being awkward as well? That thing should not be twice the size of the figure, that's not a trade off to me.
-The proportions are atrocious. You need only look at the "Battle Mode" configuration for proof of that. The 2010 Megazord was designed with splayed legs in mind to give it a dynamic pose. The Dragonzord as an individual was as well. But once you fold it's legs up to be combined with the Triceratops and Tiger, you can see how strange this looks. Massive bulky thighs and knees on top of spindly legs. The original toy at least has legs that look like they're streamlined components, this doesn't. Not to mention the legs point outward and appear as though they're buckling under the weight of the Dragonzord. Of course they aren't but they appear to be. I recognize this toy was designed years after the Megazord so there will be issues. But they've made one item with seemingly completely different design asthetics from the other, they look mismatched when combined.
-And I'm talking about both sets of hands. Neither of them looks particularly appealing. But yes the second set of "opened" hands will likely not be in use when I get the toy.
I'll give it to you the shoulder pad mode is silly. It's always looked silly. This thing has an excellent paint job and the labels are of course more accurate than the original US Dragonzord. Now their just based off the real Dragon Caesar toy instead of the less accurate US stickers. So it looks very good in that regard. But it has pretty glaring issues that don't entirely allow me to be sold on it. For someone who's so critical of the Kamen Rider W figuart being one of the most inaccurate of the line and deserving of a renewal, I'm frankly shocked you'd give this thing such a pass and dismiss my criticisms "petty".
