BoC DX Growl Phone
Approximately $10.75... This is the Bandai of China (BoC) version, and it is basically the Bandai America version, with the softer volume still featured... This will be the Good Friday present for my little nephew...
Closer view of the actual toy... No interchangeable heads, unlike the Japanese version...
Tested out the sound... Very soft... So like what I did to the DX Shodo Phones which I bought earlier that also originally has soft volumes... I opened up the Growl phone and upon checking the circuit, I realized there are 2 solder-points for the speaker's positive (+ve) terminal. Left of picture below shows the soldering it came in originally. I de-soldered and re-soldered the terminal to the other port (see right side of picture below)... And it worked!!!!!! Now the sound is much louder and audible!!!
KO Plex Magi Phone and Hayatemaru Set
Wanted to get the 2 pieces of Sentai stuff only... and hence the other toys that came in this pack are discarded almost immediately... Cost approximately $13.55...
Close up view of the KO Hayatemaru (Hurricaneger's weapon)... only the sword part.... this is a more accurate mold than my previous purchase of another KO (remolded) Hayatemaru... Sadly, the locking piece is also part of the mold now... nevermind, can always make.... Think I named the pictures wrongly...
Next is the KO (Plex version) of the Magi Phone... I saw the real one (as part of a Legend Sentai Morphing Set, or some name like that)that day in Takashimaya, but did not buy as I had already ordered this one... But this KO version has no sound nor spring-out effect like the real Plex version... Hilarious face above the buttons... Hahahaha.... Anyway, can always improve...
Upcoming Project: After many many many many attempts and work, this might finally be able to be realized!!!! Still work in progress: Battery case issue, trimming of blocked parts, spring-effect for the card holder... but should be ok, since the main problem of fitting the reader circuit has already been settled... and yes, it can read cards.... Happy...
