Well at the very least, Shurikenjin looks like fun. I'm not at all intent on diving all-in on the line like some people are, but more power to those that want it.
The muscle-bound figures are strange but it's not like this is the first time BOJ has done muscles. As I recall, the Dekaranger figures were pretty bad in that department. Bulging abs and dorito silhouettes and the whole deal. These are bearable. |

For me personally, I don't care for the combined form at all. The ninja robo just sitting there with the legs sticking out looks odd. It wouldn't be bad if there was something to fold over to make the chest look flush, but right now it looks as though it has a beer belly.

The more I look at these pictures, the more I debate whether this will finally be the year I plunge into the world of DX mecha.

I can understand how someone can think that this line is too much, too soon and it looks like it will only get busier in the near future (second quarter). And think of all the sentai shurikens that will come out; especially Kakuranger and Hurricaneger. |

It might be too soon to say (I did a total 180 on Kyoryuger and Toqger) but that mech setup really doesn't appeal. I'm not digging the mix of animal/humanoid/vehicular themes for the individual mechs, it looks like the articulation will be weak on the individual mechs too (also, FIST KNEES), and in both combined modes the giant hats look dreadful. I'm also not a massive fan of the throne-chest structure. The Drago mode looks dreadful (really, if you're going to have it just be a hunched up robot at least make the head look up).
I do like the look of Paonmaru, (though the trunk winds up in an unfortunate place on the mini-robot) but it can't save the combined mode, and UFOmaru looks interesting. I like the Buddyroid-type idea but the execution is sadly weak. It’s like they decided to do Magiking again (complete with swappable chests) but got it utterly wrong.

Heh, so it's more than just Shinobimaru that sits in the throne... In concept I thought it pretty silly, but seeing it in good detail... It still is, but it works. I do like how these look.
And I actually feel like giving the show a try. Haven't watched Sentai in a while.

What I do not understand is why the karakuri hengen is only for aka ao and ki. the Ninjaichibanto looks like a decent mod of the Hayatemaru with a beyblade attached... Gosh those shinobi shurikens look like beyblades ever since someone brought it up....

Well there have been some cases, Gaoranger (the big cat mechs at least), Magiranger (red and Magidragon particularly), Kyoryuger (most of the dinos had moving arms and legs at least).
Not that precedence is an excuse anyway. But my big issue here is specifically things like the red and blue mechs here having feet that are cast together in one piece of plastic. They look like over-sized ranger keys. And while these pictures are too small to confirm I'm sure that the red mech's arms are stuck in that awkward 90 degree angle too. |
