Kojishi Voyager! - Super Shishi Voyager! - Super KyuuRen-Oh!

So, if you hadn’t noticed yet, I did skip on getting Orion Battler. It just wasn’t doing anything for me, and ended up being a giant brick with even less transformation than Lion Ha-Oh. I used the money I had saved up for it to get Tategami LiOh and FS-00, which I feel was money better spent.

So this is the second case we’ve had of an end-of-season upgrade for the Q1 Megazord combination. And it’s another head and a backpack. It’s a better looking head and backpack, but it’s still just a head and backpack. I mean, the first time they did a movie toy it wasn’t anything amazing, just a repaint with a slightly different Megazord head, but we’ve come a long way since then and have gotten some amazing toys. If this is the start of a new trend, I look forward to seeing where it goes in the future, it’s just still learning to crawl right now.

The Good: It is a nice head sculpt for the most part, and the added upgrade component for Shishi Voyager is kinda nice and something we don’t see very often. It’s a cool proof of concept piece, and a definite improvement over Cube Octopus. You can also store Shishi Voyager’s face and Kyutama on the Bazooka, so there’s no need to worry about parts loss.

This might also be my favorite Kyuutama. The concept of the slide adding more to the image rather than completing it is super cool, and if they released more interesting Kyuutamas like that I might have actually tried to pick them up.

If you did the Cerberus Voyager mod I brought up in its review, then you’ll be happy to know you are perfectly capable of displaying Super Shishi Voyager with the mod in effect (note I said display, not play).

The C-Clip location for the back legs is set in a heavy indentation, so it won’t shift at all if you’re sliding it around and is easy to hold on to if you need to move it.

The Bad: Other than its inability to be used with any other combination other than its own Super combinations (ignoring that you can swap the face to make Super Ryutei KyuuRen-Oh [which I should have taken a picture of...]), I do have some issue with the head sculpt. Like I said earlier, it is mostly good. The only problem I have with it is the horns. They make the head look a lot bigger, giving it a somewhat distorted feel, and the fact that it’s the same red as the rest of the head doesn’t help. I feel like if they weren’t there it’d look a lot better. Also, while it has a lot of paint, it’s surprisingly lacking right around the actual face, which again makes it feel larger than it is. If they’d done up the muzzle in the same gold as Shishi Voyager’s face I feel that could have been avoided.

The Ugly: You ever notice how all the promotional pics for this guy are taken from a specific upward facing angle? That’s right, we’re talking about another weight and connection issue. You can see it in pics eight, nine, and ten that but there’s a bit of sculpt that comes down off the barrel that fits pretty snugly on top of any Kyuutama seated under it... except it floats about a quarter inch off where it’s supposed to be. So you’ve got a giant over-half-a-Voyager chunk floating off a connection I find somewhat questionable.

It’s a two-and-two C-Clip, so it’s not like it’s weak, but the fact that it’s such a heavy piece that’s just floating off a connection at the corner of its center of mass has me concerned.

The Details: Here’s a section we don’t normally see in a Sentai review. I did add a few minor details to Kojishi Voyager. Firstly, because of the details in the Kojishi eyes, but the fact that they’re so sunken into the head it makes said details hard to see, I panel lined them.

It might be tough to make out here, but it’s a lot easier to see than they were before. I also added a little to the sides of the mane and a few of the details that they cover up, but are exposed in the Super head form.

Now it’s a lot easier to see, isn’t it? Again, I know not a lot of people do stuff like this to Sentai toys, especially since the plastic isn’t made for it, but I feel it helps in some cases. I also did up the barrel of the Bazooka in black like I did a long time ago for Cube Kirin, and I feel that helps even more than the panel lining.

It is no longer a big red square at the end of a big red stick.

The End: So we’ve come to the presumed end of the toys that at least I will be collection for Kyuranger. So how are they as a whole package? While a lot of them have interesting ideas on an individual level, I feel they suffer a lot in the aspect of combinations, which for me is a heavy draw to these types of toys. I like the fact that all the limbs are swappable, but then Gigant Houou is exempt from that gimmick. I like the idea behind KyuutamaJin, but it leaves a pile of parts bigger than the actual Megazord behind to make it. This line had a bunch of good ideas that were sadly not executed well. And they never released Kyuutama Cockpit Series 3! Where’s my tiny Sky Blue and Soldier!

Overall, this was a really long review. First with five sections I believe, and the first time I’ve done “The End” which will probably pop up whenever I find myself at the end of my own personal journey through a line. Back to Kojishi, it’s a cute little toy, and I like it, but I don’t know if I can recommend it since it doesn’t really add anything. It’s pretty cheap, so if you’re curious and have a little extra then there’s nothing wrong with the toy. There’s nothing bad about it. It’s just doesn’t do anything to make it stand out or feel unique.
