Super Sentai 199 Hero Great Battle Ending Theme RAW


I stayed up yesterday to watch this movie and its was worth it! It owns Lets Go All Riders in so many levels!! I loved  how they made it possible to call on all the Sentai without Basco and I love the new look of Black Star Fuhrer. It has so little faults. But the main one is the title 199? there's still allot of heroes missing and even with those counted there's still not 199! The main problem I have is the fact that Ninjaman and Gumajin are missing from the *extra* heroes line-up. (more are missing but I care the most about those two) You could argue that at least one of the two could be counted as an extra mecha but that still leaves Ninjaman who in all respect would have fitted in more with the extra heroes then Zubaan! Any way I love the fights even though they do the same old *splitting up to beat the enemy* trick they always used for these anniversary movies and team-ups. And the last battle is just EPIC especially because of the music that was used!

Any way have some Super Sentai Roll Call:
The raw was provided by Gustavaum from TokuRawRevolution even though I downloaded it from somewhere else. And the DVD will be released on the 21st quickly followed by the fansubs provided by Overtime and Grown Ups In Spandex. (and next year maybe TV-Nihon too) Seriously go watch this movie!!

Thank you for reading and listening. Enjoy the movie! :)

35th Super Sentai Anniversary Mecha Part 2: DX Gokai Pat Striker

So this is my first and last toy of the DX Gokai Machine line. The others are either to expensive to or not really worth the trouble.

Pat Striker                                                                                                        



The reason why this is my first and last Gokai Machine is simple. I just <3 Dekaranger! Not only that but I always loved the Deka Machines especially Pat Striker with it streamlined form. The moment I saw the first pictures in the rumour thread of HJU I knew I wanted to buy it. It has that beautiful red in the front with the somewhat cheesy but still awesome rainbow patterned sticker on the front like Machine Doberman and Machine Bull from the original show. I also like how this thing fits together. Aside from a few white lines like on the logo's on back and front you can't really say its not a one piece car. I've decided not to take photo's of it (lazy) but the lights and sounds on this thing is epic! I like how much it looks like the lights on the actual Dekaranger mecha. And my only strife with it is that they didn't do much with the lights. They could have let the lights go on and off switching from left to right like on a actual siren does. It would look nicer then just the regular on and off.
Any way lets take this police car apart and move on! ^_^

I find the fact that you have to take it apart and open everything up a bit of a downer. If you put the middle piece in its button will be pressed down and it will make the sounds before you plan to lol. But when spinning that wheel on the back its worth it with the awesome gattai sound and the cool finishing sound which actually does sound like multiple bullets instead of just one sound that's really scrambled. I love it!

Deka Gokaioh (Gun Mode I guess?)                                                         



Well this mode.... I do compliment it for the fact that the guns actually do look like the D-magnum from the side. what I do dislike though is that the left arm has that stupid canon in the way again and the other arm isn't holding it that great either.... Still at least they tried! I hope the SRC version fixes this problem. :)



And that's my Pat Striker its something I loved buying it, and it did not involve my wallet being punched in the money bags till it bled out those precious dollars.... Unlike what I still have to pay the shipping costs for.... O well that's for another time. See you in the next blog xD

The Doctor Who dream

Man that was f'd up! I had 3 dreams today 2 of which are not worth sharing.

The dream started with 2 guys in an empty house. One of them points out fire marks on the walls and that's when we turn to a flashback. The narration said that they shouldn't have had that birthday party on the boat (yeah now its a boat not a house lol) We see the 2 men who are still kids here toying with fire and a man putting it out. Even though there was a fire no one was really scared and the party went on. The man who stopped the fire then walked out on deck where we see a man watching the water. It turned out to be the Doctor.... More specifically the 11th Doctor aged so much he looked like the first! He even had the same damn clothes on. The man walks up to him and says long time no see, The Doctor answers with you should not have held this party on a boat. Especially not today! The man tells him not to worry and asks him why he came here? The Doctor tells him he has a gift for the boys holding the watch of the 10nth Doctor. The man tells him that that's a horrible gift for 12 year olds. The Doctor tells him its not for them at this age but when they are old enough. The real gifts are already amongst the other gifts. The man takes the watch and put it away. The Doctor heads for what I presume is the TARDIS but as soon as he turns around the man laughs maniacally and throws him of the ship in the cold waters where the Doctor clams to some old shipwrecks. The ships floats away as we see the doctor barely surviving the cold water and seeing the Midgard (or insert giant water here) snake slowly heading for the boat.  Back on the ship we can hear the sound of the TARDIS with the breaks on.

Then my mom woke me up and I was almost to late xD. Can't really say much else about this dream.... Sounds like something Nash would pick out to review.

35th Super Sentai Anniversary Mecha Part 1: DX Gokaioh


I wish I could have done this on ''Talk Like A Pirate'' day, since it seemed appropriate... But a certain someone didn't want to pick it up :( So I finally got what I want... after 4 weeks of extra waiting... Any way here's my Gokaioh:

The box is pretty awesome and even though it keeps repeating the same patterns. I really hoped it be just as big as the Power Ranger Boxes I had back in the day but they are clearly dwarfed by this thing. I am honestly glad to have this because It will be about half the worth for this mecha lol

Gokai Galleon


 


Okay lets start with the main machine of this show and the reason I bought this thing, The Gokai Galleon. Which is also the one Gokai Vehicle that makes sense for a pirate themed show. Its pretty cool. It is blocky but that's only really an eyesore if you look at it from above. Initially I was worried about the thrusters/legs in the back of the ship. From the wrong angle (again above...) they really stick out. Also a bit weird is the fact that the mouth of Gokaioh can be seen from above the Galleon. I can't help but think they at least could have hidden that. But to my surprise the sides of this galleon hide those two problem pretty neatly. I also like how the ship hides the arm connectors by making them look like cannons. Though the biggest feature I like about this ship are those bad-ass swords you can put on the front! When I first got them out of the box I thought they where diecast xD

Also


 

Might I add how annoying it is coming across some of the newer Gokaioh reviews and seeing how they say the main quarters of the team is in that little space behind the little masts. Which of course was disproved in the Abaranger homage episode of Gokaiger. It clearly shows its some where around the biggest mast (which can be removed for some reason btw) when the kaijin escaped the crew. Focus people!

Gokai Jet

 
 I am really disappointed at this thing, its so blocky some reviewers didn't even know it was a plane on first sight. True it has some cool decals and logo's and it does provide a place to hide the hat for the later formation. But I hate that it fails to hide that damn hand. Something that also raises an eyebrow is a tiny bump on the back of this so called plane. WTF is it supposed to be? If its supposed to be a rocket booster it fails at that as well. Any way this is the least favourite of my vehicles.

Gokai Racer


 

Gokai Racer... Gee a race car... How space pirate like.... NOT! Sure it looks cool but I really hate the fact that they choose the vehicles to be ''A Pirate ship and vehicles that boys like'' It feels so half-assed!! Any way for what its supposed to represent it doesn't really look that bad. It has wheels and a cockpit. Big deal. I do like the brown/bronze plastic parts on it though. It makes it feel less like some block.

Gokai Marine


 

 Yes It looks like a block and it does look like some sort of marine mammal. But this is still my favourite of the 5 since its simple yet has all those nice decals painted in, like on the sides. The pink of this thing looks looks especially good compared to the old Megazords I own. (Shogun megazord should not count IMO) I especially like the gold anchor on the front. It look so nice.

Gokai Trailer


 

My second least of the 5. And that's because its actually a 2 part vehicle and not just some block. Then again the two part thing is the reason this thing is my second least favourite. That's because every damn time I need to make it in to a leg I need to rip the car off and slap it on differently. This doesn't really make it fun to have.... I could have gotten a Dekaranger robo....

Gokaioh




 
So here it is Gokaioh. I disliked the fact that its a block former from the start. On its own its not really worth that much to me. I like how the several colours of the mecha all get almost equally shown. The bronze/brown colours really looks good in this combined form. The only one that breaks this sadly is the Gokai Jet which has almost none of that colour. Speaking of Gokai Jet, For something the best swordsman of the crew pilots its can't really hold the damn sword all that well. The face of Gokaioh has to be one of the best I've seen in a while. Its so neatly detailed and it work so well with the hat it gets. A disappointment that I knew before I bought this toy is the canon. Which is tiny and just so stump-like that I can't really count it as a canon. The least they could have don is hollow it out a bit. but they didn't even bother with that. Still its a nice feature for any one who has plans on collecting the other Gokaiger mecha and I admit that it does kinda make me less pissed of about the blockiness of this entire line. The one this that annoys me the most about this formation is this *DYNAMIC POSE!!* man it takes up allot of space doing that. It looks like its shitting a brick next to all my other Sentai mecha / Megazords. And I'd rather have seen another Gaoranger type of mecha for this anniversary with it being all posable and streamlined and stuff. If this continues to next year I am quitting on buying a DX Super Sentai mecha! Only once any anniversary will I take the trouble of buying one. Instead I might focus on buying old Sentai mecha and the Super Robot Chogokin versions. 

 
Soon I'll buy some more stuff I want to blog about in the future. But as of now I am still waiting for the people who handle that site to call back on my to that so I can pay for everything. But that does not worry me. I still have some things to blog about first. But I'll be slow on that too. :)
