I actually like the BOJ DX Samurai Haoh. If I had room I'd display it just because of how crazy it is.

If I had all the pieces I'd put it side by side with my G12 just for the hell of it. It's a terrible design in show that makes no sense when you think about it. But I like big clusterfuck toys. Though the Ultimate Daibouken is still the king of clusters since it was done so well.

At least with G12, Ultimate Daibouken, and Great Go-Buster/Go-Buster King no one robot needlessly dominates the combo as much as with HaOh. |

Thanks for the input folks. Looks like I will be satisfied with ShinkenOh by itself.

Alright brothers I just picked this bad boy up and used my TRU coupon for 15% off resulting in a $70+ purchase. Not bad, not bad at all. Is there any place to store the sword, shield, and helmet in emblem/animal modes?
I'm satisfied with my purchase. It has been several years since I have bought a zord like this. It is substantially bigger all around compared to the BoA Samurai Megazord but not that much taller. Next to it, it looks a lot bulkier. The engineering is great as usual, kudos to PLEX for keeping the consistency up. Transformation to any mode is fun. My main nitpicks are the sword being hollow on 1 side(WTF?), and the wrist swivel for the right hand only locking at 180 degree intervals. Otherwise, an excellent toy. It may seem pricey but tracking down a Bandai Japan release like this online and paying to ship it over might cost about the same, since this is an older toy. I love the gold plated parts too.

Glad you're enjoying it though. It's a great example of how BOA nerfs the hell out of their releases

Now I see the errors of my ways, Den-O. I was one of those who was convinced you were hating on BoA unjustly. While I do think the BoA versions have their own merits (way more affordable, sleeker, etc.) the difference between the BoA and BoJ versions of these bad boys is immediately apparent. Not only in size but in complexity/play value and overall quality. I'll probably still pick up the BoA versions from here on out (because apparently I'm either made of money or I'm just really bad about managing my money wisely...probably the latter ) but I'll be buying the BoJ versions too from here on out. Now to get myself a G12...*sigh....*

Alright from what you guys have been saying, I'm guessing the BoA Octozord is better than it's BoJ Shinkenger DX counterpart?

Alright cool thanks man! It came with instructions but I went ahead and couldn't resist transforming it. Very fun toy. I can see how a kid could get a kick out of it. The quality is just as good as I remember from back in the day.

I prefer the Japanese one for its chunkiness but I wont deny thatsome of the design changes to the auxillary zords look less rediculous than the japanese counterparts.
