Power ranger Megaforce Gosei Great Megazord

Based of the Goseigers mechs, Power Ranger Megaforce Gosei Great Megazord is the adaptation of the Japan's Gosei Great.

Currently not released in Singapore, the Megaforce line will be due to be release in May 2013, I got mine through a good friend on Instagram.

I'm not going to do a review on the zords or the combined megazord but this time, I will talk more on the pros and cons of the American release version of Gosei great and the mods that will make the figure better.

First up the Red Dragon Mechazord, the paintwork on the American release is definitely inferior to the Japan released. So painting and adding details will make your set alot cooler.

The rest of the mechazords are lacking details too, here's a pic of the shark, phoenix, snake and sabretooth tiger.

The megazord's head is lacking quite a number of details too, inked in details on the face and added eyeliner on the eyes to make the eyes pop more.

Black washed the crest piece and belt piece to make it look more metalic.

Detailed the tail with silver sharpy and yes i don't have a gold one. The next thing to mod is the flimsy shaky connector joint pieces on the waist and shoulders.

The bad news is it takes abit of work, like dismantling the red dragon mechazord and layering out a few coats of nail polish on the connector pieces.

After all the mods, you have yourself a better Gosei Great Megazord, though not as good as the Japan version, this set is a Gosei great alternative. Price point is alot cheaper and lacks quite a number of detailed paint work with a quite a huge size difference. The zord bulder ports also allows for interaction with all Samurai zords for more play value.

Tensou Sentai Gosei Machines 3

Like many sentai mechas, the main mecha combines with other mechas to form a devastating super mecha or Ultrazord. Gosei Great and Gosei Ground can be combined to form Ground Gosei Great.

Ground Gosei Great Combanation!!

Ground Gosei Great is quite big mecha whenn combined. Articulation remains the same as upper torso is basically formed by Gosei Ground. The tip of its weapon, the Gosei Lancer can be mounted with quite a number of headers to perform various techniques that amplify Skick, Landick, or Seaick abilities.

Though Ground Gosei Great is pretty much a part formed mecha, the overall size just makes it impressive in any collection.  

And of course, you merge all of them to form Mystic Ground Gosei Great!

Landic Brothers

The Landick Brothers are a trio of ground Headers that are able to combine onto Gosei Great.

Landic trio comprises of Kuwaga header (Stag Beetle), Sai header (Rhino) and Tyranno Header (T-rex).

Landic Gosei Great Combination

Landic Gosei Great

Landic Gosei Great combines the 3 landic headers, swapping away Tiger and Snake header while Kuwaga header becomes a new head.

Not a bad combo, the new head adds a new character but there's no way to store away the extra headers.

Tensou Sentai Gosei Machines 2

Next up in the Gosei Machines, Gosei Ground. Comprising of 3 headers, Gosei Groundion and Knight brothers, Sealeon and Skyon.

Groundion header also transforms in Gosei Knight.

Groundion header combines with a dump truck and becomes Groundion which is Gosei Knights main mecha.

This header combines with a cruise ship to become Sealeon.

Combining with a blimp, the header becomes Skyon. My skyon has a pair of wings missing, I bought it as it is.

Tenson Combination Gosei Ground!

Gosei Ground has both land sea and air capabilties, this combination looks not too bad, porpotion are alright, I don't really dig the head dress though, articulation is limited to the arms just like Gosei Great.

Mystic Brothers

Mystic brothers comprises of Ostrich runner and egg header, the egg header splits into 2 to form 2 headers.

The ostrich looks really neat, and yes, it's the first time there's an ostrich.

Mystic Brothers combination

Combining with the Mystic Brothers, Gosei Great becomes Mystic Gosei Great.

The Mystic Runner attaches to Gosei Great's left shoulder and the two halves of the Egg Headder attach to its feet, forming a shoulder-mounted flail.

The Mystic brothers set is more like a weapon attachment set then recreating a new mecha. This is combination is lacking but still has some nice playabilty.

Tensou Sentai Gosei Machines 1

  Here's another sentai series with another big mecha. Since 2010, Tensou Sentai Goseigers is one of the few Sentai series that we have yet to get a Bandai America treatment. Though I didn't really catch all the episodes, I managed to recently acquired a Japanese Gosei machines set at a bargain price.

First up is the first main mecha, Gosei Great.

The Gosei Headers are used to summon the Gosei machines,  when the headers attached themselves to various vehicles to become Gosei machines.

Gosei Great comprises of 5 mechas which combine to form one robot.

Gosei Dragon header combines with a airliner to form Gosei Dragon which is control by Gosei Red.

Gosei Blue's header combines with a submarine to become Gosei Shark.

Gosei Pink's header combines with a fighter jet to become Gosei Phoenix.

Combining with a bulldozer, Gosei Yellow's header becomes Gosei Tiger.

Gosei Black's header merges with a Bullet train to become Gosei snake.

                                             "TENSOU GATTAI GOSEI GREAT-TO!!"

Not a bad robot mode, nicely porpotioned and like most sentai robos, articulation is limited. Gosei Great only has arm articulation and the tail and neck of Gosei Dragon form the Dragon sword.
