Title:
Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger Dyno Buckler 恐竜戦隊ジュウレンジャー ダイノバックラー

Description:
Welcome to my fourth Deluxe review: The Dyno Buckler. While this review may not be chock full of new angles and such, the pictures and video are of much higher quality and the format is much the same as my new reviews. Plus, I will be writting a more indepth review in this space rather than the small blurb I had written in my earlier review...with that said...let's get started. The Dyno Buckler is the twelfth Henshin Toy of Super Sentai. It's incredibly notable for being the first of it's kind not to be a Henshin Brace, rather it's worn as a belt buckle [hence the name]. Also, it was also used on occassion as a "brass knuckle" type weapon [Dyno Knuckler??]. The toy version of the Dyno Buckler is pretty neat. Included with the Buckler is five coins, a black plastic holder, and a sheet of stickers. Instructions weren't necessary as they were printed on the box [and let's face it, this toy was very easy to operate]. Looks wise, the toy is great. The paint is nice, smooth, and quite shiney. However, the use of decals as the black "bolts" on the front is a bit tacky [they should have painted those areas black rather than have children or their parents botch the decal placement or have them subject to peeling years later]. All told though, the toy is a great toy to look at. It's clean and smooth unlike just about every over engineered changer prior to it. Good things aside, this toy has quite a number of flaws. First, the electronics. They're crap. This toy doesn't seem to respond well sometimes, other times it works fine. It should work all the time, right? The coins are incredibly shiney too. Something that, if they appeared on the show in the same state, would be laughed at. Playability is also an issue. In the past, every Sentai Series Changer was in some sort of wrist bracelet form. It could be worn all day and imaginations could run wild and ease back to earth. All the while, the toy can be worn from the time a kid wakes up until bed time. Not the case here, it just clips onto the belt. Sure Rider Belts are similar, but they are belts. This just clips over top trousers! Imagine losing and returning home heartbroken? Not good. Those clips are not childproof! In America this was released as the very first Power Morpher for the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers. The toy was flawwed much like they would be for several years to come [to present basically]. It was upside down, the paint was dull, the decals were scant [and the ones used: boring], the holster was missing, the overall quality sucked. But it looks similar and makes the same beep. That has to be worth something, right? Today you can paint up a Power Morpher, buy coins, and buy a set of Dyno Buckler styled decals. So life really isn't so bad if you have a Power Morpher... Thanks for watching my fourth Deluxe Review. I hope you enjoyed it, and reading this extended review. Please Subscribe today! P.S. It isn't for sale, and I won't tell you where to get one. I've had mine for ages and I won't be giving it up.
