Review Time! From my personal collection, Bandai's 2008 Go-onger DX G-12 Formation!

Strolling from the 2008 Super Sentai series, Go-onger, is the first team of engines: Bus-on, Speedor, and Bear-RV.

When Bus-on, Speedor, and Bear-RV combine, they create the high-powered Engine-Oh. I find the Engine-Oh to be pretty sleek, at least from the front. It has a very sharp figure and, like the past few Super Sentai toy lines, in terms of proportions and details- it's very close to it's on-screen counterpart.

The second set of engines to join the fight are Gunpherd, Carrigator, and Birca!

When Gunpherd, Carrigator, and Birca combine, they create the trigger-happy GunBir-Oh. GunBir-Oh's my least favorite Level-1 megazord in the Go-onger toy line- because he doesn't have hands! He's proportionally great and has 2 nice weapons for arms, but the fact that he can't hold anything brings him down to the bottom of the chart.
Flying in for extra support, the 3rd team of engines: Toripter, Jumbo Whale, and Jetras!

When Toripter, Jumbo Whale, and Jetras combine, they create the fully-loaded Seiku-Oh. Seiku-Oh's a nice toy, mainly because his wings and thin body make up for not having any hands.

The 4th and final set of engines: Kishamammoth, K-Line, and T-Line!

When Kishamammoth, K-Line, and T-Line combine, they create the bulky and ancient Kyoretsu-Oh! Kyoretsu-Oh's my favorite Level-1 megazord, because I'm a fan of big collectibles. They always have more detail and usually have a major role within their own toy line- so I value them the most.


When Engine-Oh and GunBir-Oh combine, they create the 6-engine megazord: G-6 Engine Oh! Being a Level-2 megazord, I like this combination- because it's not that bulky, in terms of additional mass, and you get a new head!

When G-6 Engine-Oh combines with Seiku-Oh, they create the 9-engine formation: G-9 Engine-Oh! I retain my previous comments on G-6, but I REALLY like the new wings! Not bad for a Level-3 megazord.


When G-9 Engine-Oh combines with Kyoretsu-Oh, they create the 12-engine formation: G-12 Engine-Oh! This is the final and most powerful combination that the Go-Ongers can produce, and I find it VERY impressive. There isn't much posability, but the amount of detail, sounds, and just the overall size of the this entire, combined set is GREAT.

Manufactured by Bandai Japan, these toys are very detailed, with lights and sounds, but also represent their on-screen counterparts pretty well. If you're a Super Sentai fan or specifically a Go-onger fan, this set is certainly worth the money. I won't lie though, this set is extremely expensive- but the quality of the plastic and everything else is totally worth it. This is a 2008 Super Sentai toy series, but you can still find it on Ebay and other stores, if you search hard enough.
