Dragon Jet is Exkaiser's second support vehicle. Not shown until part ways through the series.
Like King Roader, it can be towed by Exkaiser (WHY you want to do that is beyond me).
"Kyodai Gattai!"
The gattai is not as 'show accurate' because the leg covers are supposed to flip up with the chest. Oh well.
This is 'Dragon'. I think this form is used when Exkaiser is not inside Dragon Jet but instead it is remote controlled. In this form the eyes on Dragon Jet's chest are hidden to similate the show and his eyes on his head are also blank (theres a switch at the back of his head. He can not remove his mask. Unfortunately. Also the white on his face it painted on and mine has started to scratch (because of the transformation so I remove it now)
Dragon Kaiser comes with two chest pieces. One for transformation so it can fold for vehicle mode the other is perminantaly in Dragon Kaiser mode. Dragon Kaiser has nearly exactly the same articulation as King Exkaiser. But he misses one at his hips but gains one on each elbow.
"Dragon Archery! Thunder Arrow!"
Dragon Kaiser comes with his arrow (Which plugs into his back via Great Exkaiser's waist armour) and bow (transforms from his chest plate in the show).
He also comes with a hand specifically made to hold the arrow.
"Dragon Tonfa!"
His cannons flip backwards and a handle comes down for him to hold for this weapon.
"Dragon Anchor!"
His shoulder parts can come off to similate his Dragon Anchors.
This is the thing most people (who cared) was worried about. How would the combined mode look? It turns out the combination was very close to the animation.
"Chou Kyodai Gattai!"
The transformation is a bit different to the show but makes it much more accurate to the final form (I've been told this transformation is in fact ripped from SHE's simple change Dragon Kaiser!).
"Great Exkaiser!"
His proportions are how you'd expect him to be. Tall. Yet not fat. Its a bit difficult to attach his chest plate but once you get the hang of it, it gets easier. His head needs to be replaced so its not a 'perfect transformation'.
This is his 'detail up' mode. Basically remove Dragon Kaiser's arms, flip the hinges closed, flip Dragon Kaiser's chest pieces up and attach the blasters. This mode is the more accurate mode. Its also more sturdy in this mode (All of Takara's pics in the booklet use this mode too). His leg articulation are the same as King Exkaiser's. He has six in his arms. Including his head, thats 21. Thats quite a lot.
"Kyodai Kaiser Sword!" (In the show his sword is combined from the Kaiser sword and Dragon Archery)
Be careful. Be sure to sand the clip. Incase you need to split the handle and blade apart for storage because the plastic the sword is made from doesnt feel as sturdy.
One more pic to leave this thread with
.
They are fantastic pieces though the paint chipping is kind bad. I've been hit with some QC problems too but nothing to make me hate it. Its also slightly cheaper option than getting the original since that was never released in Korea and Dragon Kaiser was never reissued. Its not quite up to scratch compared to Masterpiece Prime (transformation wise) but it makes up for that in the combining. Very worthwhile piece to have.
And that wraps up another review. I've still got Super Fire Dagwon, Great Might Gaine Reissue and CM's Great Baan Gaan to do. I might review CM's Raijinoh too (Not God Raijinoh. I have no idea where Bakuryuoh is. And its broken anyway).
