Samurai Gattai Series Hiden Chouchin DaiGoyo



This guy was released on the 19th of September, and I only managed to get it today. Yes, it's a very busy semester... the uncle still remembers me as a regular. Hahah.

Back in 2006, we had Zuban which functions as a sword and a mecha. It has all the nice gold chrome and makes retarded phrases just like in the show. That was the cute part as he can only speak his name just like a POKe'MON! He was a nice addition to my Boukenger Collection (my favorite Super Sentai Series).

Gekiranger had no need for anything like this in 2007. LoL~

Then came 2008, the Go-Roader GT for Go-Onger. Essentially, it is a rolling wheel and Engine Soul "Casette Player". Yeah, that's how I described it and the mechanism. I didn't like this piece of junk and it was just there for completion sake and another wretched Engine Soul.

Again, DaiGoyo belongs to the class of "Mecha-Like Ally." (Is there any better terminology?) This time, a lantern that can transform into a robo! What was nice about him, is again, the interactiveness of mimicking the in-show counterpart. It makes a couple of on-screen phrases (around 10) which I adore. I think Bandai Japan made quite some effort into design this so that kids will buy it:

1) Role Play Weapon: Stick + Lantern!
2) Mecha Robo and the ability to combine with 4 Origami(s)!
3) Comes with 2 Hiden Disks! And it can store up to 8 Hiden Disks!
4) Speaks like the in-show counterpart and lights up!

Therefore, you can see the play value here. It is not a standalone piece of mecha because it can swap limbs with Shinken-Oh, so there's more reason to get it unlike Go-Roader GT!

Bought the Bandai Asia (Hong Kong) Licensed Version at S$80.00.
