That zord design is so cool.

I dunno, the legs look huge in comparison to the underdeveloped torso, the shoulder pads look like vases and it's got a traffic cone for a helmet. I still dug it when Gold's mecha was evil and had a sweet cape, shame they got rid of that.

Aw crud, that's going to get my money, isn't it?

I still think that this zord (in both formations) wasn't very well thought out. The "plesiosaur" looks more more like a spaceship than a dinosaur, and the mecha mode has too much empty space and lacks detail. I also don't like the way that it breaks the combination pattern, and can only combine with one aux zord at a time.

Not to mention, with the quality of the clips on Gabutyra, this combination will only ensure that every other clip is broken by the time the series is over.

very odd design but it looks cool and i'll grab one. my gabutyra hasnt broken so i may forgo the combination after the first time i mess with it. I kind of prefer my mecha make use of all the smaller zords rather than a massive combination and 4-5 zords on their own

But it is a spaceship..... That's the whole point. It's name literally translates to Rocket Transformation Plezuon. And since Dr Ulshade is a scientist he probably built the container for Pelzuons spirit to inhabit and wanted to make it a rocket. It makes perfect sense, it was never supposed to be just a normal dino. I think this thing looks absolutely glorious and I can't wait to put this bad boy together with Gabutyra.

Which on the topic of the "weak clips" if people would do it properly I promise they don't break. You just have to be careful. There are 4 clips used when pegging something to Gabutyras' back, you have to snap in and unsnap all of them simultaneously. You can't do half and half but it seems people keep missing this. When you unsnap one set at a time it puts all the pressure on the other set and they break.

Aren't these toys intended for intense children play?
This isn't breaking a Figuart because you're handling it too roughly. This is a toy meant for the 2-12 age range. An adult collector should expect some level of endurance, don't you think?

I like that Dr.Ulshade kinda looks like Robert Downey Jr.

And I expect collectors to have some degree of control while transforming these things as well. It's way too easily breakable for children, completely. But I think as adults we can be careful enough to prevent breakage.
