Here's my review of the Disney Combiner. Short version: It's pretty awesome. Chogokin Chogattai Kingrobot Mickey & Friends: Tamashii Nations - YouTube
Upon combining them for the first time i was immediately underwhelmed and disappointed with its size. Im a sucker for big robots and was initially sold by its concept and the size of its packaging/ toy images without doing too much research. The product itself benefits from some high quality engineering. I totally appreciate the diecast material and weight of each individual botmodes. Design is detailed and very clever. The intelligent dual usage formalistically is highly commendable, ie Minnies skirt becoming a turbo rocket pack behind, Donald and Daisys feathered behinds, becoming armoured forearms, Minnies feet opening up to form the armoured plating on the torso... Am i the only one to be disturbed by the lack of articulation for the leg? Pluto legs bend alright but Goofy is a brick. Perhaps its meant to counter the weight of the toy. That was probably the reason for its relatively demure size. The weight would bring abrasive issues on all joints. Overall im happy with the purchase because it really is one of its kind. And even though it stands shorter than my leaderclass figures...the sheer abundance of color on it and the diecast reflectivity just make this little guy stand out among my mecha collection.
The elbows do bend. I figured it out accidently while toying around with donalds feathers. Its also later confirmed in images and reviews. I would recommend taking the arms out and articulating them seperately cause im afraid of adding stress to the gestaults joints. Pulling the arms out of the socket is easy.
I just saw this on display at a shopping centre yesterday. Snapped some pics and will post them later. This thing looks pretty cool. I really dig the steamboat head, and Pluto's dog house. And it's all so nice and shiny.
I managed to get this "Disney Megazord" from TFSource and, in my opinion, I think it's an awesome combiner! I hope we get to see more licensed mecha combiners like these eventually. What next, a SpongeBob SquarePants & Friends combiner?
