I'm still embarrassingly new to Gokaiger and ranger keys, what're DX keys?

And yes, it's mostly the harder to find candy or gashapon ones I've been seeing.

I'm guessing all of the MMPR ones fall under that catagory? Wonder what kind of selection we'll see here when they make it stateside. JPN ranger keys should still work, right? Or would we get re-tooled ones here and such? So many questions!

DX means that they're painted. They come with toys (like the Gokai Pistol and such) or in DX Sets like the one you bought or for special offers.

The only Zyuranger DXes are Tyranno Ranger (in the DX Set you bought), Tyranno Ranger in Metallic (First Edition bonus for Gozyujin) and Dragon Ranger (came with Gokai Spear).

Gashapon and Candy toys only have a painted head, while the rest is stickers and you assemble them yourself. I believe Mammothranger and Triceraranger were Candy toys and Pteraranger and Tigerranger were Gashapon. Gashapon Keys in particular are difficult to get. I also believe there are Candy Toy versions of Tyranno and Dragon.
I have almost a full collection of DX Keys, but I'm not really interested in the Candy/Gashapon Keys. I find the look of the stickers unappealing.

And no, they won't work, sadly. US Ranger Keys are going to be about half the size of the Japan ones and look ridiculously crap.

Ah, holy crap! Thanks for all the information, SS Gaga, I appreciate of greatly. I'm relieved the ones I picked up are painted as I'm not a big fan of stickers.

Really?! That's disappointing! Was looking forward to em.

The US ranger keys appear to be very reasonably priced, but then there's the size issue which would explain that. I want to say they'll release them in sets here. Despite the terrible build to them, I may pick up some of them. It all depends on how the final products turn out.

Scythe · 10-02-2013, 02:05 AM

Imma look for pics of the US ones, I've yet to see em.

Thank you, appreciate it.

Starscream Gaga · 10-02-2013, 02:36 AM

Here's the comparison between US and JP ones, too.

Wow, that comparison pic really puts it into perspective. Thanks for sharing that. After seeing all this, I feel like I need to go to an empty room and just rethink my life, haha.
