Does anyone know how to help me out here?

The censor is there for a reason. Besides, those two Ultrazords were US-only, and were filmed using the actual toys! ' Nuff said.

*head explodes*
I had no idea this series went into 1979.
I'm really annoyed. I want the Samurai Megazord, but the US version is drastically different from the Sentai version. I'm familiar with mold differeces, but the US Samurai Megazord is like a completely new figure. Can't achieve origami forms and the leg combiner ports are completely different.
Was the Samurai Gettai really that unsafe in the US?

robofreak wrote:I'm not sure if it's a matter of cost. If anything, the Samurai Megazord should be more expensive since 4 out of 5 Zords are completely new molds. Turtle is the only Zord capable of achieving the origami form.
I noticed the package said it's compatible with the MMPR Zords for 2010. I wonder if the mold change was made in order to promote the idea of having backwards compatibility with the older toys?
I'll probably go for the US one for now since I don't want to drop $200 on the Sentai Samurai Gettai, but I'll get that one eventually.
And a Mutegi Shogun.

I still question that. Mostly cause based on everything I see of the 2 figures, they would have had to have made 2 separate molds. It's just a matter of removing the transformation function. It's about the same amount of plastic for both of them. To do what they did for both versions requires a second set of molds just because of the nature of injection molded plastic.
Clawzord also went through extensive retooling for the American market. To the point that I think there are now 2 clawzord molds as well. The new mold had to be done to compensate for the knee joints in the Samurai Claw combination.
It makes me wonder what additional retooling will be done for the remaining Zords.

Strangely, I'm more impressed with what I got than I am dissapointed.
I am a little annoyed that I can't create the origami forms, but the overall looks are great.
I do have one beef with the set. the white plastic for the tiger, beetle, and swordfish is light pink. And the drills don't attach to the Samurai Megazord's chest.

I already loved his design, but his Sky Phoenix wings spread out, while inaccurate, just put it over the top for me. He looks majestic this way. I still want the original though, but he will soften the anxiety a bit.
