Yes. That is exactly what it's called. To be more specific it's an Epee.

It's ironic that Toei keeps trying to bring back Metal Heroes to no success, yet elements of it in Kamen Rider - and now Super Sentai seem to go over big!
I love these designs, I like that some are clearly made for alien lifeforms, but still fit the monochrome motiff and I dig the series premise. Could this be the Heisei equivalent to Jetman?

I'm digging the modular style weapons now that I can get a better look. Though some are more impressive than others

Man I didn't notice this before since the scans were blurry but ShishiRed's sword is HUGE in that picture. Kinda makes me wonder about the size of the others' weapons since we're just getting what the toy looks like.

Also doesn't help that modern fencing isn't really my thing. Medieval weaponry is far more my jam than Renaissance stuff. Usually in the form of correcting people spouting crap like 20 or 30 pound swords or knights drowning in the mud just from falling off their horse... |

The higher resolution scans are definitely appreciated. The star field effect for the vizors is a nice touch. The mecha look good, but are over-all a little underwhelming. The only one I don't really like is the lion, which could use some more moving parts/joints to help make it look a bit less like it's just the torso on it's back. That said, I'm curious to see how future torso mecha look. I can imagine a dragon working well with this format.
Only thing I wish we had a better look at is the changer. It looks interesting, but I'm not sure what all is going on with it. I don't usually bag on BoA like this, but it definitely looks like a design they won't do any justice to when making their version of it for PR. Frak me... am I being drawn to the Sentai side?

I love the designs especially for the Black ranger. These scans have me hyped. I can't wait for Kyuuranger.

From what I see of Tenbin Gold so far I feel like he will either be a robot or a super logic-oriented lifeform akin to Data or Spock from Star Trek.
I mean you dont often see a scale as a motif minus Saint Seiya and Fourze. Or maybe an ex-police officer.

The suits look even better in higher detail. That starfield effect is terrific! I wish the black on the torso went all the way down to the waist. It just looks... strange to cut it off there. Maybe it'll grow on me.
The KyuTamas look very similar to the Zyudenchi from Kyoryuger; seems like roughly the same functionality. The modular weapons are a nifty idea, and I'm looking forward to seeing how they look in-show. The Seiza Blaster is... UGH, it's so close to being cool, but it's just a little too toy-like for my taste. At least it looks like one of the flaps can fold down. ...so the Kyurangers sit inside the giant KyuTamas at the front of the mecha? Did Pacific Rim teach us nothing? (Show for kids, I know.) And as for KyurenOh, I hope the minipla can redeem it. There doesn't seem to be much transformation involved for any of the components. I appreciate that all the limbs are capable of being arms and legs, but we're not getting Combiner Wars here. A few of the mecha - mostly for the secondary team - look pretty good, but the mecha for the core team are a little "meh" for me. (I mean, it's not even in the same category of design as Zyuoh King, but I was hoping for something a little more Solar Saver.) I'm very, very excited for this show, and thrilled we finally have high-res scans! |
