Nippu Sentai Part 3

KARIKURIMUSHA FURAI MARU




Froms the head and fist of Gourai Senpuujin, nicely done with diecast parts.



 FURAI GATTAI!!

 GOURAI SENPUUJIN Combination of Senpuujin and Gouraijin with FūraiMaru, formed by the command "School Transcendence Wind-Thunder Combine" or "Furai Gattai!"

 
Check out this robo, though the articulation is very minimal (most sentai robos are like that) the weight and presence is quite outstanding.... shown on top is Japan version, left is the US version. The major difference Jap and US counterparts is the diecast parts and the paint work, the Jap version rules with metal parts and better paint work while there's no diecast parts on the US version.














Unlike the other disappointing adaptations from the Japanese counterparts, both versions of this series is good, though there's Nao Nagasawa in the sentai series, Tori's not too bad too.


Next up, the Final combination!

Nippu Sentai Part 2

GD-43 GOURAIJIN (THUNDER MEGAZORD)

 





Gourai Stag driven by the Kuwaga Raiger forms the legs of the Gouraijin.

                                                                        


Driven by the Kabuto Raiger, the Gourai Beetle forms the upper Torso and arms of the Gouraijin.

IKAZUCHI GATTAI!!
























 The Gouraijers bugs merge to form Gouraijin, just like Senpujin, Gouraijin chest stores a Karikuri ball which holds Plant axe which design is based on a Pinwheel.

Yup, there's a part 3 coming up.....

Nippu Sentai Part 1

Ninpū Sentai Harikenjā, asanjō! or Nippu sentai Hurricangers!!!

Sentai translates to 'taskforce' in Japanese and it is also a term to describe a show that involves a superhero team. In 1975, Toei produced the very popular children shows Goranger ( the Original Power Rangers) that led to a franchise known as 'Super Sentai.'
Adapted from the original Hurricangers, US released Power Ranger Ninja storm with Shane, Tori and Dustin ( yup all Ang moh!!though the Jap Version is much cooler ) are three students at the Wind Ninja Academy. Their less than stellar performance gets them the occasional lecture from their Sensei.

Well, here's the zords...
The Shinobi machines
GD-42 SENPUUJIN ( STORM MEGAZORD)

 



 The Red Rangers Hurricane Hawk Zo forms the head of the Senpuujin.

                                                                   



The Hurricane Lion driven by the Yellow ranger is the biggest zord which forms the main body and legs of Senpuujin.

                                                                             





( Left) Blue Rangers Hurricane Dolpin forms the Right arm of the Senpuujin.


NINPU GATTAI!!!

(Top Bandai Japan version) Senpujin is the combination of Hurricane Red, Yellow and Blue Ranger , this is the Basic MegaZord in use most of the time. (Shown below Bandai US version)

The chest plate opens up to contain the karikuri ball which stores sword slasher.
