DX Henshin Onibue - Onteki (変身鬼笛.音笛)
Super!!! Have been wanting to buy these 2 henshin devices for a long time, ever since I had the DX weapons... I had bad experiences with KR Hibiki stuff, so I decided not to take risks and bought 3 each (1 for my little niece, 1 for myself, and another just in case of non-working ones...)... And I did not regret, as only 1 of the 3 are working fine, 1 has bad sound level, and another has no sound!!!! However, have manage to replace the speakers (though took a long time to dismantle and reassemble, and replace bad worn-out screws...)...
DX Henshin Kigen - Onjō (変身鬼弦.音錠)
When using the supplied battery, initially there is a long "tackling" sound from the speaker after switching on that I thought is a faulty toy, until after some time the weird sound die off and resume back to normal operations. Think might be old batteries dying... Will try out new ones next time...
Candy Toy KR Ichigo Lock Seed (Loose)
Gotten it from Taobao.com, cost about $9.65. Sounds are quite similar to the Rider War version I think, but with Rider Punch, Cyclone "go"(???), and Rider Kick for the special attacks instead... Since it is a candy toy version with opaque rim, it may be quite difficult to install lights into it...
KO Musou Saber
The KO version!!!!! Gotten this (and the KO Daidaimaru set) from Taobao.com too... With the good experience I had with the KO/bootleg Gokai Saber / Gun, I thought this (and the KO Daidaimaru) will have 95% the same casing mold as the original one... But I was wrong... Many parts are now molded together... And the plastic used (for all items) seems to be the "shampoo bottle" type of plastic, only slightly more rigid... Print quality on the packaging is good though... Cost around $20, after shipping...
De-tombed the toys... Pulling the trigger will activate 2 alternating types of sword clashing sounds, as well as an LED lights up at the bullet-indicator area... Not too bad actually...
This KO is super light (and I like this), and as mentioned, many parts are simplified to a single mold... The Lock Seed locker part is now transparent yellow in colour, and looks very very nice.. of course, the piece is thinner and no activation switch for the "Lock on!"... The blade is also molded together with the gun body, so I'll need to cut the molded blade off if I want to replace a new/longer blade...
... And the pull-tab for changing to gun mode is also molded together with the main body... sigh...
The holster that comes with the toy works well, though a little flimsy...
Looks like it is a Melon Energy Lock Seed, disguised under the codename of L.S.-04!!!!! Because of the soft material used, the lock gets stuck easily... The cover is flipped up and secured to the main body with a small clip-peg...
No sticker inside the cover... Sadly the casing of the lock seed is remolded, otherwise I am tempted to switch the cover over to my Gashapon Melon Energy Lock Seed...
Pressing the lock release button at the side releases the lock (supposedly) and activates 2 alternating types of sword clashing sounds and an LED light, just like the KO Musou Saber. In fact, all the toys have the same sound circuit inside... No other buttons...
The KO lockseed can attach to the KO Musou Saber... with no additional function or features, of course... but looks good...
..Sadly, the KO Musou Saber cannot fit in the authentic lock seeds, unless some trimming is done...
KO Daidaimaru
It is the dark version of the Daidaimaru!!!! Superb colour choice!!!!!!! Also costs around $20... Almost everything for the KO Musou Saber can be said for this KO Daidaimaru...
De-tombed...
Only 1 LED light will flash with the sword clashing sounds, when trigger is pressed... Should I add in blue light??? Hmmm....
Similar to the other one, this set has a KO Lemon Energy Lock Seed...
This set comes with a small figurine that I don't know is which Amour Rider... anyway, will be throwing this figurine away very soon... Already broken the pegs on the armour when taking them apart...
Important question: Can the KO Musou Saber and KO Daidaimaru be combined????
Yes they can!!!! Naginata mode!!!!!! There are no spring-locking mechanisms; the parts lock in by small narrow protruding tabs... a little little shaky but not loose... Nice... And because they are light, I can use little force and hence no worries when swinging them around. Double nice!!!! And because there are no buttons to push when taking out, I can separate them so much faster and easier! Triple nice!!!!!
And can the KO Musou Saber combine with the DX DJ Gun???
Yes they can!!!!! Taiken mode!!!!! Hahahaha.... Did not try if this Taiken mode retains its gimmicks but believe it should be able to... nice...
Now waiting for my Bootleg Sengoku Driver (version 2) to arrive... hehehe...
Could you guide me to get a ko muso saber? I been wanting to get one for a prop build but do not want to ruin a dx one. :-P It would really help me.^^
ReplyDeleteI bought mine from a Taobao.com seller (http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=40519543927), you might want to search for 大橙丸 in Taobao.com website and those that are priced at 39 RMB . You may need to get a Taobao agent in your area to help you purchase as very very few Taobao.com sellers ships overseas. Just do a search online and you might be able to find one in your area. Hope this helps.
