The Ranger sale continues


The sale continues, after my busy work schedule, I picked up a set of the 4 inch figures from Bandai's Power rangers Samurai line Mega-rangers and Samurai Ranger.
Usual price for each figure was $17.90 to $19.90 sgd, now goin for $9.95 sgd each.
The thing that I realised, most of the Samurai Red Ranger are sold out, I guess kids here, love the Red ranger alot.

I'm definitely not done with this line of figures, most likely gonna pick up the rest in this next couple of days, with the sale prices on most the figures from this line, collecting has never been better!

Gigazord aka Samurai Haoh

Yes, finally got the last Megazord from Power Rangers Samurai, the Bull Megazord. Through relentless searches though department stores, finally gave in to the devil's den called ebay.
Yes, it is impossible to find a Bull Megazord in Singapore. Basically the last wave was cancelled due to low sales.

The basic window box is much similar to the other previous Megazord releases.




















The Megazord looks cool, slicker then the Japanese counterpart and only a pinch on the wallet.
Looks more humanoid and less brickish look. With the basic Power ranger Megazord articulation, Bull Megazord has poseable arm which turn 360.


In it's bull mode, looks more like a robot lying down, no articulation in this mode but has wheels on the back and the disc are used as wheels too.


Much like the previous Samurai Megazords, paint details is not say the worse but could be alot better, what I usually do is customise them, by using a Gundam marker used for model kits, I panel-lined most of the details on Bull Megazord and the rest.

Now the time, you all been waiting for, the combinations of all 3 Megazords.


Samurai Megazord plus Samurai Clawzord plus Samurai Battle cannon and Bull Megazord equals to Gigazord or Samurai Haoh.

This is an awesome mecha which really looks impressive on the shelf. With the high price on the Japan versions, this is definitely a cheaper alternative. With the major disappointment in the 2007 release of the Power Rangers Overdrive Megazords, this set certainly redeemed credibilty for Bandai America's rendition of the Power ranger toyline. If you love big combining robots and love Power rangers or Sentai, this is definitely is sure bet.

SDX Brave Battle Warriors Ogarasou KanU Gundam

Ahhh another one more, this time I travelled all the way to Tampines Mall, while waiting for a movie ala "Hunger Games", I stumbled upon another Kiddy palace, and curiosity brought me into the store and what do you know, they have a bunch of them on sale....
This time I got the Ogarasou Kanu gundam, the gundam with the goatie...and not to mention a kickass blade staff.
And because of the goatie, the head articulation is very much hindered, the rest of the body is the same as the other figures in the line.


One of my fave character from the animation, nice design, only gimmick he has is the face mask that can repositioned to cover the eyes.

SDX Brave Battle warriors Ryubi Gundam

I think only one left thats on clearance, one of the first few to be released, Ryubi Gundam.
Ryubi Gundam has the same articulation as the others, maybe slightly more articulation on the arms. 

Ryubi Gundam comes with 2 swords which was the same as the other variation of Ryubi Gundams.

SDX Brave Battle warriors Sou Sou Gundam

Continue with the SD Gundams brought to you by Kiddy palace and journeying all the way from the discount bins, here's another excellent figure from the line. Another Sou Sou Gundam with a real kickass sword.
Same articulation as the others with the worse head articulation from the line, due to the fact that there's a collar hindering the head from turning.


The cape can be attached on the front or back.

And the best part of the figure are the swords, big and gold and besides being one my fave character from the series, the design really clings to me.

yes there's more to come.....

SDX Brave Battle Warrior Moukosou Sonken Gundam

Another trip to Kiddy Palace but this I've decided to get them all, not many to choose from, only 4 or 5 characters on discount bin. When I got home, the first one I opened was Moukosou Sonken Gundam, tiger motif with a kickass sword.
I was also very eager to combine it with the Ryubi's dragon chariot.
Articulation is much simlar with the other figures but being the first fiew released, his arm can pose wider and has no hinderance in head articulation.


The shield and sword parts can be stored on the waist and back.

The waist parts combine to the sword to make a long cool sabre.

The shield was stored on the back is actually 3 seperate pieces which can be held by a peg or clipped on the arm.

With the Dragon chariot available with the Ryubi Gundam set, Moukosou Gundam can also merge with the Dragon chariot, transforming into a battle jet with Moukousou Gundam riding it.

SDX Brave Battle Warrior Shin Gurensou Sousou Gundam

Yes, I went to Kiddy Palace once again, now this time, I digged the whole pile and manage to find Sou Sou Gundam but the powered up version, perfect to merge with the Ryubi set.
I have to say this is a awesome figure. Same articulation as the others. Accesories are abundant, 2 swords, nicely sculpted wings, gold armor pieces.


The swords combine to form a double bladed staff.

And the reason why I got this figure to finally combine with the Dragon chariot from the Ryusou Ryubi set.

Sweetness, when fully combine wing span is seriously wide, like 10 inches wide, the Dragon chariot also came with a bird faced chest piece for Sou Sou gundam making it fully complete. I love this figure the most from the line, nice details on the armor which has a bird motif, good accesory count and compatibility with other sets makes this a winner on the shelf.....
