August Purchase (7) - Miscellaneous Weapons (Some KOs)

Received my haul from TaoBao.com 2 nights ago... and quite disappointed with the stuff bought.. Post them here as they are more "related" to Kamen Riders.... than Transformers...


Blue Cats series - Poison Wolf Claws
Yes, this is a China made cartoon series that came out with some toys... Thought these claws can be extendable... They did, but only a couple of centimeters... what the... But they do give out very nice greenish light and motion-sensor-activated swishing sound (sound duration is a bit too long though)... Anyway, will mod them with some empty plastic bottles, hopefully can turn into more "Wolverine" style... Cost about $20.65 for 2 pieces...



Dragon Force series - Punisher Gun
Yeap, another China series, with the same old toys... It is supposed to be able to turn from a gun into a ... baton/dagger, I think? The baton/gun mode does not stay in place securely, and will droop with a heavy flick... worst thing is the sound... In gun mode, you have to press and HOLD on the "trigger" for the sound to be activated... hey manufacturer, this is NOT shooting action, come-on... Anyway, sound is same in both modes... Have since taken out the circuit board with intent to put into my Plex Ixa Riser (on the way, I hope nothing goes wrong) which has no sound nor anything, and use as a Henshin sound.... Cost about $10.65... not worth, not worth at all.... sigh...



GoGo Sentai Boukenger - KO SurviBuster
I was so happy when I found this item being sold in TaoBao, and it cost only 12 yuan each... And because it is packaged in similar way as the real version, I thought the sound should not be far off... I was wrong... The sound is the typical "Fire~! Fire~!... * Ta-ta-ta...*~ .... " ... what the... sigh... lucikly plastic quality is not too bad, the blade is also made of a rubbery material for safety... Even comes with a belt attachment piece... Similar to the Drive Defender, the blade is not automatic but needed to be swiveled out when transforming to sword mode... And the locking device for the handle to stay in place is only done by a spring attached piece, unlike the real SurviBuster that needs to push a button down first. This makes the handle in sword mode more prone to droop while slashing action is done... Anyway, bought 2 pieces, and have to transplant transplanted 1 of my previously bought sounds-chip over here... Cost about $17.00 for 2 pieces...



Crystal Warriors series - DX Crystal Gunber
After so many disappointments, luckily there is something to be glad about... This is the DX Crystal Gunber from the China series "Crystal Warriors"... wow, DX version leh... and it is supposedly from Bandai China (????!!!!!)... Wow... the name Gunber is probably Gun and Saber combined... Quite a fun piece... the saber mode has normal blade-hitting sound and blue light at the round circle piece at the hilt (pity no light into the blade...) then the saber blades can be retracted. By swiveling down the handle and attaching the holster, it becomes a gun! And it has a good gun firing sound everytime trigger is pressed! Nice... Cost about $14.00...
