The god of the wild arrives as we continue our tribute to Power Rangers Wild Force! Today's toy of choice is DX Gao God from Hyakuju Sentai Gaoranger! (US fans would know him as the Animus Megazord)
Gao God is the god of all Power Animals, and is made up the 5 oldest animals of the 100 known to exist. Gao Leon, Condor, Sawshark, Buffalo, & Jaguar. Gao God fought the Org's 1000 years ago along side Shirogane/Gao Silver and the ancient Gaorangers. His defeat however is what lead to the unfortunate creation of Rouki. Able to take human form to aid Gao warriors, Gao God is a wise and powerful mecha. A being with immense power that only Gao Silver has ever had the honor of piloting.
This DX set is a lavish repaint and remold of the standard Gao King set. The ornate mix of golds, browns, reds, black & teal are very pleasing to the eye and very different from what we've come to expect from sentai repaints, the color choices themselves being very uncommon for sentai mecha as well. The additional "antlers" added to the condor/helmet can be formed into the Power Arrow and the Sawshark arm is used as the Wild God Sword!
Now this is the mech I want. I still remember Balt reviewing and it being all O_O My God GaoGod... Do the new molded horns get in the way of using the legs with GaoKing at all?Since Eagle is molded different I mean.

It certainly is a pretty Megazord... but I can't look at it with thinking to myself "UP YOURS ANIMUS!"

Is this the japanese or american version? Those shoulder panels are wrong. Mine has stickers over them. Did they just not remold those?

I think, if I remember right, all Den owns is the asian releases.

What a beautiful robot. Utterly awesome to look at. Too bad it was a narrow-minded ecoterrorist piece of butt in the show.
Ugh.

Stickers go over the sculpted panels, I believe.

Just wondering if there was a ever a version with the correct sculpted shoulder plates. The US version I know just has WF Megazord's shoulder plates. So wwere they not remolded and just stickered up in the JP release?

Man the birds ugly but I do like its colours. Gaogod as a whole looks awesome however.
