Super C’mon the Docking! ~ KyuuutamaJin!

Whooo boooy, I do not have very many nice things to say about this guy...

The Good: The Houou Kyutama has little sparkles in it to help differentiate it from the Shishi Kyutama. That’s neat. It’s got some solid clicks to it when you transform it. It has...electronics...Oh! And the KyutamaJin face does this neat thing where when you plug a Kyutama on it it pops the face out, and the fact that its a single Zord that repurposes the Kyutama connection points could have been considered a nice extension of the gimmick...could have.

The Bad: Houou Base is just two big chunks of plastic. It does nothing for Gigant Houou; it is literally just for the combined mode. It doesn’t match the aesthetics of the other Megazords, it doesn’t have any interplay with any of the other Voyagers, its arms are dumb stubby... An easy fix for a lot of these issues for me is go the Raiden-Oh/Plezu-Oh route. It can have its normal stubby arms, but have an alternate way to configure the arms so you can use use the other Voyagers with it. Add some interplay!

The Ugly: You see that last picture? That, to me, is an enormous issue. First of all, the combination looks dumb from every angle but forward. Second of all, look at that pile of parts! That is 10 incomplete Voyagers that are now useless and cannot combine because all of their Kyutamas have been taken off them. I know I mentioned during my Dedokai-Oh review that its Ugly was very similar, but I’ve kinda backtracked on that feeling a bit due to the fact that its the sleekest and best-looking all-quarter combined Megazord of, really, all time. I mean, there’s only four other ones (Hurricanger, Go-Onger, Shurikenger, and ToQger), but still; it drops four parts. One of them’s pretty big, but it’s still a fairly small pile of stuff that’s easy to store behind it and not lose anything. There are basically two-and-a-half Megazords worth of parts left to do nothing when you assemble KyutamaJin. Who thought that was a good idea? It feels like either a terrible design choice or a purposeful choice to push the releases of the Cockpit Sets and Cerberus Voyager, except there’s no release date for Cockpit Set 3, so Oguma Voyager is still useless. Suuucks!

And just handling it gave me an idea of how it could actually work. If you’ve watched the show, you’ll know that that they needed 3 Kyutamas to find the Argos Ship that eventually transformed into the 3 components that make up the Houou set. You could have had Gigant Houou still separate the same way, have the sculpt altered so it doesn’t have the plugs on the back of everything, and use the Houou Kyutama and the 3 Argos Ship Kyutamas to combine the parts onto Shishi Voyager. While it wouldn’t fill the role of the “all team” combination, it would make everything else feel less useless, it could fill the role of the final payoff for the rivalry between Shishi Red and Houou Soldier, and you could possibly swap some of the parts with other Voyagers, increasing their interplay. You could maybe even do a TimeRobo where you could swap its own limbs around. That’s cool, that’s interplay, that’s extension of gimmick; that is everything that this toy lacks.

Yes, I don’t like this toy. This might be the first time I flat out say do not buy this toy. Not only does it have no interplay, but it’s almost detrimental to have it. In order to compensate for having it you have to buy another Voyager and multiple Kyutamas, which is about $75 worth of extra product to add purpose to the products you’ve already bought that this toy takes away from them. It is seriously a bad toy and it is the reason I will not be going completionist after Kyuranger wraps up. I will get the Q1s and whatever tickles my fancy, but unless a toy line totally speaks to me I won’t be doing this again.
