We knew from the get go that Gokai-Oh's opening gimmick would be nixed so dont act all "oh im disappointed because bandai didnt change what they have been doing for the last couple of years" The keys are not terrible and the head sculpts for them are better than Japans. and at least Blazing lion is somewhat to scale with its counter part. Seriously he could of been brought down to Delta Runner one or Mystic Dragon stature. and if the detail bothers you then paint it..At least we can agree on the Gold legacy morpher.

BOA haven't actually nixed the whole gimmick of a toy-line before, even Megaforce still had Headders to some degree and supported the Cards REALLY well, so I think there is reason to be disappointed and as someone who collected the DX Keys for Gokaiger, I was looking forward to having a PR collection counterpart, but they are that bad. I don't see how the heads are better at all, except for the bizarre idea that went around that the BOJ didn't have uniquely molded heads, which is just flat out wrong and even if they were, they're about half the size (or less than?) and ridiculously wide and stumpy looking.

I also don't think we need to be thankful that Gaolion, who has seemingly had his transformation, lights, sounds and screen-accurate combination nixed, is bigger then the other auxiliaries, Gaolion always needed to bigger then the others to support (to some degree) its three modes. And I don't need to paint them, I have the whole BOJ set, but that doesn't mean I support BOA having a terrible in comparison line-up.

And, as I said, BOA did improve compared to Samurai for Megaforce, so there is also reason to be disappointed that this line looks like its fallen even further then Samurai's standard, rather then improve like its predecessor. It's not like Sentai is aimed at an older demographic then Power Rangers, so there's no reason everything has to be super dumbed down for Power Rangers toy-wise.
