The hits just keep coming! Our tribute to Power Rangers Wild Force is almost over, but to wet your appetite before Thanksgiving here’s yet another gallery from Hyakuju Sentai Gaoranger! Today we focus on another special release, DX Gao Ape!

Gao Ape is along the same lines as the Black Gao King set[/URL] and at first glance you may assume it’s just a black repaint of Gao Gorilla. However it’s actually a repaint of Gao Kong and as such features the Gao Knight faceplate! So if you already own the Black Gao King, were able to get the rare TRU Gao Knight set with bonus Black Elephant, AND were able to get this Gao Ape figure via the mail in campaign then you can create what you see here, Black Gao Knight!

This figure was only available via a special mail in campaign through the Super Sentai Mecha Visual 1975-2002 Art Book. As such it’s an extremely limited release, and to cut costs it comes in a box that’s about 3 inches smaller than the normal Gorilla or Kong boxes. It also lacks the Gao Jewel figurine and Anchor Chain weapon as a result. And despite it’s nature as a repaint, Gao Ape is officially included in the master list of 100 Power Animals.

Tokunation’s month long celebration of Power Rangers Wild Forceis about to come to a close! With only a few galleries left today we take a look at the Toys R Us Japan exclusive DX Gao Knight set from Hyakuju Sentai Gaoranger!

At the heart of Gao Knight is a Power Animal exclusive to the Gaoranger film, The Fire Mountain Roars, Gao Kong! Kong is a repaint and slight remold of Gao Gorilla with a new combined mode face plate. The same accessories are included however down to the Anchor Chain and Gao Jewel figure, though the Gorilla or Kong rather is cast in Gold now.

You may ask what makes the TRU set so exclusive? Well a proper Gao Knight requires the standard blue Gao Elephant. This one is special because it includes a Black Gao Elehpant for use with the separately released Black Gao King. This is an exquisite set that shows just how far some extra paint apps and a remold can go. Kong itself was released individually before this set, hence the added bonus of this set including Black Gao Elephant.
