Toy Review: Super Robot Chogokin Daizyujin

We Need Dinozord Power, Now! (Cue intro). This is a review of the Super Robot Chogokin (SRC) Daizyujin from Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger and the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers' first Megazord. 

When I was younger, I've watched other dubbed sentai shows such as Jetman, Bioman, Maskman, Turboranger and GoGo V. It was the time when cable TV nor the internet was available so I rely much on the overreacting voice dubs. I lost the next few sentai series till Mighty Morphin Power Rangers came along. This is why Daizyujin aka Megazord in MMPR is also memorable to me.

Toy Review: Super Robot Chogokin Gokai Oh

From the time I was able to review the Super Robot Chogokin DekaRobo, I was super impressed I have to get the rest of the line. My money landed next on Gokai Oh. It has been awhile since the show ended last February and most of us still remembers how great the show was for kids of all ages. Here is the review.

What great about the SRC Gokai OH is that, first of all, poseable than the DX counterpart. Paint applications highlight every detail on this robot. The only parts that are die-cast are the legs and that small tab on the abdominal and when it moves, it floats and hides inside the torso. Jiggling it brings it back. What I don't like is how the hands are angled and pushed inwards. This way, it is hard to pose with the Deka pistols from the DekaRobo.

Toy Review: Super Robot Chogokin Dekaranger Robo

Bandai and Tamashii Nations should be proud of their recent baby the SRC Dekaranger Robo. Many toy aficionados who are both into Super Sentais and Kamen Riders (like me) missed this because previous releases didn't offer that much. Dekaranger made a mark and launched SRCs to a new height. I totally recommend this if DX Robos are not your cup of tea - when you need a robo that is more poseable and dynamic.

The sculpt of this figure is downright amazing. There are great paint applications and the details are a match to the DX version, probably even better.  Its joints are very poseable which is comparable to my Voyager Class TF Animated Optimus Prime. In addition, these are extra hinges on the arms and legs to maximize its action potential. One hiccup would be that the SPD Riot Shield may get in the way and even if there are swivel points, I'm quite certain that this will loosen over time. 

Toy Review: Super Robot Chogokin MagiKing

Previous catalogs and magazine scans probably gave a lot of publicity to the SRC Magiking. Even the displays on Tamashii Nations event looked awesome. I haven't seen a lot reviews prior to me purchasing one so I had to see it for myself the difference at hand against the three released Sentai Robots in the SRC line.

At the first glance, I'm actually impressed on the design. MagiKing is more humanoid and the proportions are very similar to the super hero series. The paint apps are stunning with a mix of metallic, glossy and matte finishes. These blend perfectly on MagiKing. You may think at first that the design is without hiccups. Guess again.
