The Shinkenger / Power Rangers Samurai
Role-Play Collection


The Shinkengers' individual weapons don't combine in any traditional sense, but their powers are unified and fired via the Oozutsu Mode of Takeru's Rekka Daizantou, in the form of their Origami Hiden discs. While I don't personally feel that these discs are representative enough to justify purchasing the items with which they're packaged, some of those toys are worthy in their own right. Their changers are cell phones, but are creative efforts, and their mascot character functions not only as a DX robo, but also as a role-play lantern and jitte. The year-end super weapon does sport a combination and I think Bandai of America did it better. Outside of the changers and omissions, BoA did a commendable job. Still, this is another line that I feel necessitates the skills of knowing when to hold 'em, when to fold 'em, when to walk away, and when to run.
