I'm kind of tempted to pick up some of the Dino Charge stuff but I'm not sure which to get. I'd like to get everyone for the final combo but are any of the other auxiliary zords worth getting?
There is a Toys 'R Us exclusive set with the regular Spino, Pachy and Ankylo Zords, but as you can guess the set isn't really worth the price unless you want to get all three at once. Seriously, you'd be paying
double for a regular Megazord! What also works against it is that the initially rare grey Pachy Zord has been re-released, so there's no real urgency to hunt him down either.
The Spino Zord itself is an OK replacement for the rare Tobaspino. I appreciate the new crest adding to its character, but the rest is nothing to really write home about. I don't have a problem with the unchanged T-Rex arms, the shorter tail or the sail gun, but if I could change one thing it's the last one. The arms do make it easier for a potential Bakurestu or Giganto Spino Dai-Oh
The final combo is worth getting, all you need is the Dino Charge Megazord, Para Zord, Raptor Zord and the Titano Charge Megazord. I must warn you, the last one is seemingly hard to find as he disappeared off the shelves rather quickly, and his case mates don't move as fast. If you see him, get him! One thing tho, no need to get any of the Charger 2-packs, the Titano Zord can't carry them, having them molded in instead (much to the chagrin of many).
Even though I don't have him, I'd highly suggest looking into the Deinosuchus Zord aka Deinosgrander. He has a rather neat chomping gimmick (nom nom!) when you roll him on a smooth surface, and he changes into not one, but two crocodile mouth-shaped arms (in short, you get two-for-one), similar to the Deinosgrander power-up. In my mind, Kyoryuzin would be called "Beserker" or "Wrestler"
There's a "Limited Edition" version in black and orange, but as that one doesn't have a real basis I wouldn't put too much effort into getting it.
The Ammonite Zord aka Gurumonite also seems to be a favorite, who doesn't love a spinning gatling gun (making "Ammo"nite especially fitting) and a war wheel in one? The downside is that he's rather heavy as a limb, so be mindful of that. He comes in sea green and blue, the former shipped with the grey Pachy Zord and is thus rare. The blue has been said to homage the Dimetrozord from Dino Thunder, along with the purple Pachy and green Para Zords homaging their predecessors.
The Archelon Zord looks ok, nothing special with the buzzsaw, and the Oviraptor Zord is just a repeat of the Para Zord, just with a real firing missile. That's all I can say.
Don't take my word for everything though, ask around, watch reviews on YouTube before you commit to anything
The resident Rewind... well, half of one
- Jelze Bunnycat =:3
Looking for:
- TR Furos (Hardhead's head) and Crashbash (lost him
)
- PotP Punch head
- TR Galvatron right arm (the gun one)
- CW Brake-Neck/UW Wildrider, CW Offroad
- TR Twinferno & Grotusque
- Greenlight, Lancer and PotP Elita-1 (plus repro Victorion hands and feet?)
It needs a better "Spino" name though...
