the little jet i think have some leg poseability, the ones that are used for the combination with the lion, more than just split the legs, and knee articulation, VERY limited but its there
Got him and love him. Excellent figure. Question tho: were you not counting the flip up leg missiles in your count as well? If you've got Fire and Power Dagwon I'd love to see your review for them. I've got all the Dagwon mecha (my favorite Brave show) and Super Fire Dagwon is one of my favorite of all time figures (kinda blatant though huh?). Another fun review! Can't wait to see more Yuusha Goodness!
I think calling this a cluster is a bit unfair, outside of the shoes which look pretty good upfront and the lion bow you end up with something that doesnt look nearly as bad as some of sentai's most recent combinations.
LOL Leon Kaiser got revenge at the end for your miss-information, it's 'Sky Leon Kaiser' not 'Sky Sora Kage'. :D You forgot about Great Goldran's leg missiles which make it 22, they're not called 'Gold Knights' on the show, your confusing those with the four 'Silver Knights' and that iPhone camera's sound is OK, but not as clear as your normal camera. Otherwise great review. :)
***** Yes but that name is not official, if Sora Kage combines with Goldran to become Sky Goldran, it makes sense that that Sora Kage's combination with Leon Kaiser would create Sky Leon Kaiser. CobraCommanderFTW all ready did a review of these toys and in that review he correctly called his combination Sky Leon Kaiser, it just makes more sense that way, rather then calling it by the name of Lean Kaiser's acquired backpack.
Cluster? Bonkers? Well, Even with all its exaggerations and gold chrome Great Goldran really looks much more majestic and "normal" than most of the sentai combinations of the past years.
The full combined mode actually has 29 missile slots. That is if u include the slots behind the lion paws and the slots on his shin-guns. That's a lot of F***ing missiles.
I do like the rocket skis, but they really couldn't come up a better use for the hind legs of the lion and the missile pods? Could have attached the missile pods to the thighs and the hind legs to the shoulder armor, between the shoulder and the wings.
10:30 I thought they would form arms, but, apparently, whatever country that show came from likes making giant robots combine by one turning into big shoes just attaching to the other robot.
14:14 Okay, this Great Goldran combine mode is probably like a Super Sentai Engine-Oh G8 territory: Definitely a conversation starter. If I saw that thing in real life, I would probably just be laughing while walking away from it.
You see that two holes on Kaiser's back? Above those orange buttons? That's where those fins you put on Goldran's head belong. They should not be on Goldran's head except when three of the robots combine
Did Takara design the Brave series figures? They're so behind the G2/Beast Wars figures they were putting out at the same time. They're just G1 bricks. Disappointing for 1995 figures.
how is that disappointing? Certainly not behind Beastwars where loose ball joints are everywhere. But I guess it is just personal preference, but it is unfair to say it is bad.
I'm not saying its bad. It looks cool enough, but it's surprising that a 1995 figure is so brickish. Especially when Takara was putting out much more articulated figures at the same time in other lines.
+therangersrule68 maybe brave shows weren't airing where you lived but in Korea the brave series toys sold like hotcakes so much well into mid 00's. The shows had reruns until mid 00's thanks to the toy sales. There's a reason why most reviewers get the Sonokong (KR) versions instead of the Takara (JP) ones.
