Finally got my Lord Drakkon figure in the mail. Wanted to try my hand at this iconic scene.

There are blues like you every generation, kid.



And I've felled every last one of them.

It's "da ba dee da ba da".

I have not had that song playing in the back of my head constantly for the last 21 years to stand by and allow the lyrics to be misrepresented by everyone.

Hahaha, fair enough, sir. I tip my hat to thee.

Package from Mandarake showed up, and with it the Capsule Combination Dekaranger Robo! Unfortunately still have no photo setup so check out a JP review here for pics: http : //eigangu.blog54.fc2.com/blog-entry-212.html

From what I've read this was the first release in the Capsule Combination line and oh man, what a debut. Like the Magiking that would come a year later, the CC version of the Dekaranger Robo manages to shrink down the DX into a pocket sized version while still maintaining a decent amount of the DX's gimmicks. Patrol Striker, Patrol Gyro, and Patrol Trailer all have LED lights to replicate the ones on the DX (though no sounds and considering how old these are it's no surprise the light on my copy of Patrol Gyro's gone kaput) and Patrol Armor and Signer both have pull back motors and rubberized tires to let 'em run across any hard surface - and the Signer even keeps the sign gimmick! Minimal parts forming this time, with only the fists of the main robot left over when it's separated; unlike the DX version, the Signal Cannon doesn't combine/store away (though this does mean it's better sized) and if you want the Judgment Sword you're going to have to find a second wave run because both weapons were split between the waves. Poseability is exactly what you'd expect, and the paint/sculpt/proportions are fantastic for a set this small.

It's a damn shame that the CC line seemed to peak with Magiking and Combattler V (subsequent releases don't look nearly as appealing as the ones that preceded them IMO) but I'm very glad I picked up the ones that I did! If I can track down a Dekawing Robo then I'll definitely hop on that but until then; it's been a good run.

Not a new toy by any means, but after trying to touch up the silver on the Shodophone, I decided to whip up a stand for it on Fusion360 and 3D printed it this morning! Nothing too fancy, but the print turned out great and the Shodophone got a display it deserved, since it's one of my favorite changers in Sentai.

That looks lovely! I like how it kind of looks like a pen stand
