Go! Kara Kuri Combine Dino Megazord Toy Review: Impressively Epic

For old-school Power Rangers fans, the original Megazord was a big deal, but this toy is something else entirely and thoroughly epic with it.

Power Rangers was actually a repurposed version of Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger, the sixteenth iteration of the long-running super sentai series. “Sentai” is a team of superheroes battling enemies, with the “super” bringing in a mecha for them to pilot.

Given Zyuranger’s obvious dinosaur theme, the mecha was a combination of multiple dinosaur-themed mecha and was called Shinka Gattai Daizyujin.

When Power Rangers came along, much of the history of the Super Sentai was lost, and the mecha was just called the Megazord.

Back in 2017, Bandai Spirits released an amazing Soul of Chogokin toy of the Megazord, which I reviewed. That was a very faithful version of the design from the show and handled the transformation and combination from its various vehicles very accurately.

This Dino Megazord from Flame Toys is quite different from the previous Soul of Chogokin toy. It takes more cues from the other super sentai shows and is far more stylized as a result.

In that, this Dino Megazord follows the dinosaur theme more closely. It is more aggressively styled but still retains the complex combination and transformation gimmicks.

The big “change” over the original design is that the Pterodactyl Dinozord now comes with massive wings and the sword. The former really changes the overall profile once combined and looks really cool, as you now have a giant pair of wings at the rear of the mecha.

Apart from that, this is a big, chunky toy with a good amount of diecast throughout. The articulation is decent, and the styling and sculpt are amazing.

Like previous Flame Toys releases, this Dino Megazord is a collector’s item. Some parts can be delicate and should be handled carefully. However, once it is fully combined, the heft and overall weight make it a sturdy toy.

As for how this compares to the Soul of Chogokin toy from a few years back. They are clearly trying to do different things. The Bandai Spirits version is much more accurate to the mecha in the show. By contrast, this Flame Toys incarnation is meant more for fans who enjoy something overly styled but in the same spirit as the design from the series.

The only thing that I find weird, and it has nothing to do with this toy, is that this Dino Megazord can combine and transform from its various vehicles, which is entirely great and done really well. However, considering all the Transformers toys that Flame Toys makes, I am somewhat mystified as to why those don’t transform. I mean, it’s not like Flame Toys can’t handle transformation.

Overall, this is a really great toy. It not only handles the combination and transformation setup from the show but also has some really great styling, backed up by pristine detailing, the latter seemingly being Flame Toys’ calling card. The only downside is that it’s pretty pricey, coming in at around $459.99.

The Go! Kara Kuri Combine Dino Megazord is available from BigBadToyStore, and its black variant will be released this February.
