Knockoff KO Bootleg Black Spark Lens ブラックスパークレンス Ultraman Dark Tiga

 There seemed to be a few versions of this type of bootleg or KOs that recently appeared in Taobao a few months ago.  I got the non-flashing light with sound version. Surprisingly, mine came with the handle rims painted black. In fact the raw plastic used is white colour, but painted black... Also, the stripes on the top parts are not well-painted... Luckily the sounds and light are ok. I will probably paint it to be more show accurate next time when free... Comparison used in video is the 闪耀迪迦特别套装 Glitter Tiga Special Set Ultraman Tiga Spark Lens 2019 Reissue Bandai China, which is surprisingly smaller than this KO... I thought of swapping the sound circuits of these 2, but because the KO has only 1 activation switch, the other Tiga sounds will be unused and wasted.... 

 

Legend Ultra Henshin Series Ginga Spark レジェンドウルトラ変身シリーズ ギンガスパーク ウルトラマンギンガ ラマンギンガ Ultraman Ginga

  Bought it, then realised I actually supposed to get a Victory Lancer... Because my Victory Lancer was damaged... sigh.. somehow my mind was not in a stable state these few weeks... anyway, hope I can get 1 DX Victory Lancer someday, if not then nevermind too...  Comparison used in video is the KO Ginga Spark with a DX Victory Lancer circuit implanted inside it...

 

DX Tregear Eye ( Ultraman Taiga Series )

 Bought it for the aesthetics purely. And the aesthetics is not that good either. Only 2 sounds - Opening of mask and transformation.

 

Bootleg KO Knockoff ( Slightly ) Oversized DX Genkai Maken Beliarok 幻界魔剣 ベリアロク( Ultraman Z )

 

A slightly oversized KO/bootleg version of the DX Genkai Maken Beliarok from Ultraman Z series.  This is bought from Taobao at a price of SGD19.38 including shipping.  As I don't have the original one, the differences I think are:
(1) Slightly longer blade body with slightly longer red colour detail
(2) Orange translucent parts instead of transparent
(3) Darker purple in colour for the rubbery blade
(4) No Bandai manufacturing information
(5) "X  O" replaced with " OFF   ON" at power switch.
(6) "Deathcium Claw" and "Deathcium Fang" finishers each has an extra beat of waiting sound when activating button is pressed.
(7) Very very slightly muffled sound
The rest of the physical toy and sounds (including activation sequence of pressing the switches) seem to be the same as the original one. Saves me the trouble of having to make a sound circuit.

Repainting : Legend Hero DX Dragon Blade 群英传奇 梦想三国 传奇英雄 ( 强化 ) 灵龙刀

 The yellow plastic looks too "plasticky", and hence thought a good golden/bronze spray will make the toy look better and more show accurate...  Missed out the rims and areas at the transparent window display as it houses the circuit and did not brought it together with the other parts to spray. Make do with gold paint pen in the end.

 

Comparisons : Legend Hero DX Dragon Blade 梦想三国 黄金版 强化 灵龙刀

 A short comparison video of DX Dragon Blade to a few Kamen Rider and Super Sentai DX weapon toys I have. Plus compare it to the MMPR Legacy Blade Blaster too.

 

Legend Hero DX Dragon Blade 群英传奇 梦想三国 传奇英雄 强化 灵龙刀 黄金版

Legend Hero ( 传奇英雄 梦想三国 ) is a Korean tokusatsu series which combines Kamen Rider-ish character design and Super Sentai's 'Megazords'.  It was dubbed in Chinese for China market but seemed to stop after 16 episodes, not sure why. It was also dubbed in Indonesia language and aired in Indonesia. Have at least seen this toy with 3 languages (Korean, Chinese, Indonesian language).  It is a pretty large DX weapon toy, much larger than most Kamen and Sentai DX ones. Will upload comparison video separately. Technically speaking, this is probably the (China version) re-issue of the DX version, with silver chrome on the blade instead of just silver paint. Am very tempted to dismantle and pain the yellow to gold/bronze to match the show prop.
