Kyoryuger Toy thread

HenshinTension · 05-10-2013, 10:14 AM

Yeah I just noticed that my left arm peg is now loose. I'm fairly careful with my toys so it's a bit disappointing to already have an issue 3 months after buying the guy.

No issues with the back clips...yet. After reading all of the complaints on Rangerboard I've decided to never do the Raiden Kyoryujin combo again. I wasn't a huge fan of it anyway...

I have to agree with Matrixbeast here. The best thing about BoJ toys is their durability and if they can't hold that up then it's a shame.

Hopefully those clips aren't used in the final combination, or if used, are used sparingly.

Anybody here recommend Pteragordon/Pteraidenoh? I think KyoryuGold suddenly shot up my list of favorite Kyoryugers in the last two episodes.

Okay guys. Got my Pteraidenoh in and I've come at this from a few angles so here's my thoughts.

I can see where people are breaking these things but mine has been fine. I've combined and separated it about 15 times now with no stress or breakage. It's a tight fit but as long as you clip all 4 in at the same time you should be fine. For removal, lay Kyoryuzin on his stomach and lift up on the entire Pteraidenoh section. Make sure to unlock all 4 clips at once and you should be fine. Mine's made well enough that applying minimal force will separate it, so it's not too tight.

And again, I have to stress that yes the combo is back heavy. But that weight does NOT droop off the back and cause the breakage. Gabutyra's yellow tail section acts as a tripod that hold the entire backpack up. It carries nearly all the wait for the back. The breakages are occuring because of how tight the clips can be on some of them and the way in which you apply force to separate the parts.

Can't wait for your review of Pteraidenoh, Den-O. Please do address the clip strength of the waist clips for Pteraidenoh if you could, too. Do you know if they are the same types of clips as on Gabutyra?

They aren't quite the same but I also don't see them having the same potential to break that Gabutyra's do.

It's dissappointing that ten years since the fragile Hurricanger clips that this issue is still a problem. It won't stop me from getting the figures of course, I'll just have to be more careful with them.

ComicGuy89 · 05-10-2013, 11:27 AM

I heard there was a similar problem in the Go-busters line?

Well 2 clips on my GT-02 broke. Apart from that everything else seems fine.

This. This is is the exact similar problem most people speak of. The peg and clip system that connects the 2 pieces of GT-02 together in foot mode connect in such a way that it's almost impossible not to break them.

I own 2, one with clips broken on each side and one that's perfect. I use the good one for the Li-Oh combination Go-Buster King and the bad I decided to keep so I could make Kero-Oh. After all it helps get my unused Ace and Frog out of the way

I got all 6 core kyoryuger mechs recently, and although there is nothing really new I thought I would share some pictures I took:

I like the beast batteries, they are bigger than I expected them to be and they glow-in-the-dark!

Not as clear as I'd like, but group shot!:

I really like how Raiden Kyoryujin looks but I don't want to risk breaking any tabs that I'm hearing about:

Also had to try this at least once and he is awesome!

But for now I have them displayed as Kyoryujin and Western Pteraiden-Oh.
