Another STD review. As I mentioned in my STD Super Fire Dagwon post I'm getting STD Fire J-Decker from Might Gaine AND I recieved it this morning (thanks a lot dude!).

A little gift for you guys here :

Well I was a little worried when I saw the packaging because the Fire j-Decker sample on there had remolded Brave Police symbol on its chest but none of the molded BP insignias are remolded (There are only two molded simbols in this set anyhow (not counting the one on J-Decker's head which is too hard to see anyway).

First up is Deckard and the J-Roader (or Loader, how ever you want to pronounce it). Deckard is the first Brave police unit to be created and assigned to work. He meets Yuuta, our kid hero, 6 months prior to the start of the series. During this time, his interaction with Yuuta gives him a heart (the very moment he gains his heart is shown on the penultimate episode from Deckard's point of view which is pretty cool providing you understand the dialogue). There is some drama in the start of the series because he had to have all his memories erased so new data files about fighting crime and such wereto be installed into his AI computer but in the moment of need, Yuuta brings back all his memories and he captures his first criminal.

J-Roader is introduced the following episode which allows him to fly. Because of his complicated data structure Deckard has trouble finding the necessary files in order for him to combine so Yuuta uses a game controller looking device to help him combine (first practices on simulations but keeps failing, eventually he succeeds in real combat). I tis revealed in episode 24 that J-Decker's name is a fusion of Justice and Deka (detective I think???)

STD Deckard is a bit super deformed (SD for short) and cartoony. J Roader cannot load up Deckard unlike the DX version. The sculpt isnt too bad though it uses chrome red rather than translucent red on the lights.



"Brave up! J-Decker!!"

To 'transform Deckard and J-roader you need to take him apart in several areas then fit him together again.



First things first. The paint for his eyes are TERRIBLE. They seep onto his face plate and other areas. Now thats out of the way, He is very simplified over the DX version. He has only sideways (barely) and forwards and backwards articulation in his arms (now swivel or elbows). He only comes with the J-Buster. No nightstick.



The blasters on his legsa still function though (no shooting).



Later on Gun Max is introduced as a high way patrol officer with an attitude problem. In fact he was being transferred to the Brave Police force because no one else wanted him. Initially he comes into conflict with the other Brave Police members but after some adventures he decides to join them properly (and accept Yuuta as boss). He can combine with his bike to form Gun Max Armour. It is revealed that he can combine with J-Decker to form Max Cannon mode but he refuses saying he wont let someone else control him. After a little bonding session with Gun Max (involves and hand cuffs and fuel :lol) he agrees to helping J-Decker boost his power.

STD Gun Max is a pretty good representation but it cant stand and it cant form Gun Max Armour. The gun on its side is I guess supposed to mimic the scene in episode 20 when Yuuta is in the passenger seat.



"J-Decker Max Cannon Mode!!"

Like the DX version the Max Cannon just looks like a bike attached to J-Decker's waist. Gun Max cant attach to the back though.
