I hope Red Dragon looks cool on his own. But yes I want this a lot.

Such beauty. Such amazement. This thing is just pure perfection. The only thing that can make it better is if they found a way to make the Ryuuseiou fully posseable in dragon mode.

it's crazy that this legacy line isn't better articulated. i mean, these things look great, but why no articulation? and it's not like these things are cheap either. that's a ton of money for very little articulation.
transformers have articulated combiners, voltron is articulated.. it's just strange to me. these are cool looking, but i want ultimate versions of these zords. i wonder if we'll ever see them done like that. if it does ever happen it won't be for a while thanks to the legacy line. |

I have a question. Why didn't they show off the Red Dragon Thunderzord?

And the articulation is something that is sacrificed so that the Megazord can break down into individual zords. I wish there was more articulation as well, but the Super Chogokin line (or whatever it is called) in Japan has all the articulation, but they cannot change from individual mechs into the gattai |

While I wish I could agree, Toynami and Hasbro have shown that fully posseable figures do not make great combiners. They never stay together well and parts don't stay where they should. I would love to have a fully posseable Dairen-Ou and Won Tiger, especially in the legs, if nothing else, but I would rather at least have the combined toy stay together. However, I'd like them to be able to at least do the poses they did on the show.

Yeah, I wouldn't expect much more articulation than what the original had. Dr. Kain has a point about posable combiners, especially when it's an interior robot wearing essentially giant armour. They do a good job giving the arms more articulation, though.
Has Robot Damashii done the ThunderMegazord? Also, I hope beyond hope of hopes that they do a Legacy Zeo Megazord. That thing had good arm posability back then, and I really like it's design. It'd look sweet as a Legacy figure. |

BoA said a Legacy ZEO Megazord is possible in the future as they're big fans of that season of PR.

The line u are all thinking of is the SRC line - super robot chogokin. Die cast, about five or six inches tall, articulated, not combining. Basically robot damashii plus die cast, before the metal Robot line that debuted this year.
The reason no articulation is $$$$. More articulation requires more engineering and more parts to make it all works. Plastic and metal are cheap but designing and making molds for more complex parts costs money. Could bandai do it? sure, but we're going to be looking at Soul of Chogokin prices probably. That won't work at mass retail in USA at TRU, not at the profit margin Bandai is working with now Plus the target demographic still includes kids for whom extra articulation is less important
