Man these reviews take me back to my rediscovery of my obsession with power rangers more specifically the wild force (Gaoranger)😭 the smp line has been releasing and I have all of them except gao god
Ahhhh....I do so love your reviews. They're always filled with energy and the fact that you go into far greater detail then most (that I've seen anyway), plus with the fact that you go out and find just about every little detail that you can find out about the toy is why you're one of my favorite reviewers on youtube. The only other review that I truly do enjoy is Vangelus. Maybe its because of his smartass commentator known as his camera.... Thanks for the shout-out EVA.
I have the Super Sentai 25th anniversary robot book. Basically has all the robots from Goranger through Gouraiger (Hurricaneger's maroon and navy allies) and ther is a scratched mecha head in the back that looks similar to gao knights head but the visor is movable. I enjoy all ur reviews since they keep me from having to dig out my own toys. Thanks for all the hard work you put into these.
@bionicleZX5 It is a limited-release blue repaint of Gao Hunter that appeared in one episode of the show. The Predazord did not have a name change in "PRWF", and nor was a toy of it released, even though it too appeared in the show.
There was one such combination shown in Gaoranger vs Hurricanger. It was called GouraiSenpujin Sword and Shield. It was GouraiSenpujin with the shark, tiger, and elephant power animals attached. It makes me wish I hadn't sold off my power animals when I first saw it. I had them all... except for Gao God.
@GokaiSilverTv You're actually the second person to mention they learned about that panel from my video(s), so once again I'm glad I could help out there!
@CollectionDX No problem. I have both the US verison of Gao Kong & a Black Gao Kong, so I am positive of the info. BoA might have made some running change with the way Gao Kong was made? I do remember the Ultimas Megazord being hard to find, at least for me. I bought the only one I saw. The only change is that on the Armadillo puck, it does not have any red on it. The only thing I'm not 100% sure of is the Gao Kong TRU set w/ Blue Elephant. But I'm about 95% sure of it.
@GundamLegacyExtreme Yep! It was made up of three smaller PAs- Gao Penguin, Gao Swallow (a bird), and Gao Mole- and when combined it only stood as tall as the hip of the regular robo combos! --EVA_Unit_4A
@AngelCadence Very awesome mook. I wish I had gotten the 2002 Super Sentai Art Book mook too, which had a lot of concept artwork AND the first official listing of all the Hundred Beasts from "GaoRanger"!
I have the BoA version of Gao Kong that came in the Ultimus Megazord box set and it is exactly the same as Gao Kong. It has the diecast and vacumetal chest. Gao Ape is also a repaint of Gao Kong since they share the same Gao Knight head. And if memory serves, the blue Gao Elephant came with the TRU exclusive Gao Knight set when GaoRanger was released in Hong Kong. As the black Gao Elephant did come with the Japanese TRU Gao Knight set.
@birca04 If you want to be technical, Gao Blue does use Gao Polar and Gao White uses Gao Bear more than Gao Yellow does. Gao Yellow uses Gao Madilo more than Gao Black does. Meaning that they do have their own component for Gao Muscle and Gao Icarus.
I finally managed to get one of these. It's in rough shape but it was in my budget and not broken so it was good enough for me. Funny enough it cost me a little more than my Gao Muscle set did some 4 years ago.
Believe it or not, the Ultimus Megazord was meant to be something different. At first it was supposed to be the Red Gorilla Zord combined with stuff like a Grizzly Zord, a Panda Zord, an Auroch Zord, and an Albino Armadillo Zord. Then it got switched around to have stuff such as a Tigershark. When it came it got released, Bandai of America dropped the ball. Plus the Auroch Zord was labeled the Bison Zord. Then in some merchandising, Ulitmus Megazord was used for Gao Knight's PR name.
@rciboy No, it's a black version of Gao Gorilla.; Gao Kong is a repaint. I don't know how much Gao Ape is. It may be more expensive than these two were, but honestly I haven't researched it. --EVA_Unit_4A
@kolbymysterio619 I thought it might have been a phoenix, since Gao Kong lives in lava. Also, when the movie came out, Gao Falcon had not been seen yet, and Bandai and Toei are really good at avoiding that.
@tubeview96 Probably coincidence. There's almost never intermixing between KR and SS; they're two completely different animals. BTW, IMO KR:DK was quite good for an adaptation!
I have the Wild Force Megazord and Isis. I'm saving to buy the Gao Knight because I like the helmet more than Gao Muscle, and I also want another shark and tiger because the ones I already have are not in good shape if you talk about paint details, because I bought it 10 years ago and as a little boy I didn't know about the collector value (but I still hate keeping them in the box, better in a shelf protected from the sun). And because of that, I will also buy the bears separated.
Uhhh, just gonna tell you something. I just watched a review of the Ultimus Megazord, and they actually DID keep the red chrome and die-cast metal, so that means the boos and hisses can be thrown out the window
@gaogod84 Oh, I know that book! I still really want one too. FYI, the official listing of all 100 Power Animals is in that book! AH-HA! I just checked the scans I have of those pages, and lo! there's a picture of Gao Knight with it's visor raised; I KNEW I'd seen it somewhere before! Is that what you were referring to? Glad you like my vids. ^^ --EVA_Unit_4A
@EVAUnit4A I dunno, but if you do something as simple as a goole image search for "Ultimus Megazord" you'll find shots depicting that the chrome and metal were kept. I would link you to a site, but apparently you can't add URL links to comments
@codeywings10 It's also possible that it was never released. Some of the toys in that mook were never put into production even though prototypes were made.
great video, also despite what you said I think you should still make an alternate mode video, It'll be nice to hear an opinion on the different combos.
@shifty0212 I couldn't find reliable info on Gao Ape's combo head, so thanks. Others have asked in comments below yours as well. WHAT!? The photos I saw of Ultimus- on two different sites, no less!- had all the changes I mentioned! WTH. Thanks for clearing up the black Gao Elephant issue. I wasn't sure about that because I had seen it both ways. --EVA_Unit_4A
your review's are awosome collection dx and in case you want to review it i heard there will be in stores dx usa shinken-oh and a figure and zord set in stores just to let you know.
with all the repaints i wish there would have been at least one more set of legs so gaomuscle could stand and where can i find one of those pucks now and days
@EVAUnit4A nah this is one of the best if not the best the amount of combos you can do with the zords is huge i would have loved if the series had all the zords all 100 of them
@apex2000 the Armadillo Puck in Power Rangers Wild Force does not become the Armadillo Wild Zord itself. I called the adapter piece a "puck" because it looks like one.
@PizzaroniAwesomeness I don't have the Blizzard Force Megazord. But I do have the Bakuryuu Gattai Bakuren-Oh! I already reviewed the Bakuren-Oh on CollectionDX com.
@CollectionDX oh well, to each her own~ you said you had some filler reveiws for the rest of the year, would a guess of a reveiw of the Magiking be an accurate prediction? (since you said you dont like the other magiranger mecha :o except for wolzard maybe)
I mean for the toy line,but yeah maybe.Plus blue my favorite color so it would be cool to have a blue power animal in the lead!And,4 lions I only know 2?
@tformer0607 Poseidon Org charged half-cocked at Gao Knight right after it was formed. The combo just stood there as he ran, and then at the very last moment swung with the sword across his stomach. End of story. --EVA_Unit_4A
@Galax1809 Having not seen any Gao Muscle battles, I can't say for sure if they are. However, Gao Knight does not use them (WHY I don't know!). --EVA_Unit_4A
@elai99 Well, first off, there was no Gao Icarus Double Knuckle in the series, even though the toys are easily capable of doing this. Second, I would have to make a separate video featuring all of the secondary combos we saw, which I'm not at this time. And third, can't you use your imagination?
@TheBlackShinigami There's no explanation how/why Gao Kong's roar reached the PAs; even Tetomu was surprised. I don't think Gao Icarus was introduced by the time "Fire Mountain Howls!" came out. I wondered that too, but I couldn't find accurate release dates. Gao Kong remained on the island after the Org Brothers were destroyed, and his Gao Jewel was given to Iriya for keeping. Only Gao God knows how to get back to the island. --EVA_Unit_4A
A very very informative video. Congrats on having GaoKnight in your posession. Thanks again from this viewer with autism. So yeah that's two things we have in common. I noticed though that no Angels were harmed during this video.....unfortunatily. :D
@CollectionDX can you guys show us the figure if there was a gao icarus double kunkle i mean in a review at least show us the combo for again gao icarus double knuckle
@DarkDevastator101 Ahh, I had to check, but I can't find any pictures of it. I can't answer either way if it's based on Gao Muscle or Gao Knight's face. They're just so rare that finding pictures is very difficult. Sorry! ^^; --EVA_Unit_4A
Hmm. Out of curiousity given the size and shape of the connector posts, on this and the other Gao Ranger (and I think the Shinkenger ones as well?), can they be combined with the more recent-era Transformers Combiner Teams?
Gao Knight's visor sor of resembles Kamen Rider Rath Night's visor or a varioasion there of. But all in all its not a bad toy, i love the repaint. Oh and i thought it was sort funny how the bull was in a black only set.
@anti4kids2000 It would depend on what I got. Getting something rare like the Karakuri Mantle or The Stamp would be nice; same with the Tortoise Hammer. Those are the only four KBs I don't have, but have chosen not to pursue them. The same goes for DX GaoLion- don't want it, don't need it. They would all certainly be a nice surprise because I have other toys that I can use them with already.
@NewKira16 Ok, just checking. Most people on UA-cam either don't reply or really ARE lazy bums. Nothing personal! ^^; There was the all-black Gao King repaint, and of course the Gao God remold(s). But other than that, no other repaints of the Totem PAs. As to Gao Manta, there were no prototypes made. It was considered (look at the article on my profile that I mention in the vid), but never made physically. --EVA_Unit_4A
Wow just found this again after all these years
Good to hear. I hope you enjoyed my video a second time. :)
Man these reviews take me back to my rediscovery of my obsession with power rangers more specifically the wild force (Gaoranger)😭 the smp line has been releasing and I have all of them except gao god

No problem. I have both the US verison of Gao Kong & a Black Gao Kong, so I am positive of the info. BoA might have made some running change with the way Gao Kong was made? I do remember the Ultimas Megazord being hard to find, at least for me. I bought the only one I saw. The only change is that on the Armadillo puck, it does not have any red on it.
The only thing I'm not 100% sure of is the Gao Kong TRU set w/ Blue Elephant. But I'm about 95% sure of it.
This one of my favorites series and thanx to your video I almost finished the set
@GundamLegacyExtreme
Yep! It was made up of three smaller PAs- Gao Penguin, Gao Swallow (a bird), and Gao Mole- and when combined it only stood as tall as the hip of the regular robo combos!
--EVA_Unit_4A
@AngelCadence
Very awesome mook.
I wish I had gotten the 2002 Super Sentai Art Book mook too, which had a lot of concept artwork AND the first official listing of all the Hundred Beasts from "GaoRanger"!
I have the BoA version of Gao Kong that came in the Ultimus Megazord box set and it is exactly the same as Gao Kong. It has the diecast and vacumetal chest.
Gao Ape is also a repaint of Gao Kong since they share the same Gao Knight head.
And if memory serves, the blue Gao Elephant came with the TRU exclusive Gao Knight set when GaoRanger was released in Hong Kong. As the black Gao Elephant did come with the Japanese TRU Gao Knight set.
I guess I should do a little more research.Thanks for the chat dude!It was AWESOME!
Nice review! I thought the video of the review will come out next month not this soon. Nice job!
nice review, i love your long reviews. you give us so much info that's awesome. great job.
@bryanturtle
The puck comes with the Gao Rhino and Gao armadillo set, OR the DX combined Gao Icarus set.
@birca04 If you want to be technical, Gao Blue does use Gao Polar and Gao White uses Gao Bear more than Gao Yellow does. Gao Yellow uses Gao Madilo more than Gao Black does. Meaning that they do have their own component for Gao Muscle and Gao Icarus.
@TFcollector
The movie was called "Hyakujuu Sentai GaoRanger: Fire Mountain Howls!" (2001).
--EVA_Unit_4A
I finally managed to get one of these. It's in rough shape but it was in my budget and not broken so it was good enough for me. Funny enough it cost me a little more than my Gao Muscle set did some 4 years ago.
Believe it or not, the Ultimus Megazord was meant to be something different. At first it was supposed to be the Red Gorilla Zord combined with stuff like a Grizzly Zord, a Panda Zord, an Auroch Zord, and an Albino Armadillo Zord.

Then in some merchandising, Ulitmus Megazord was used for Gao Knight's PR name.
@CashColin10
In "GaoRanger", it's called the Animalium. I used the Japanese naming for the Japanese toy.
@rciboy
No, it's a black version of Gao Gorilla.; Gao Kong is a repaint.
I don't know how much Gao Ape is. It may be more expensive than these two were, but honestly I haven't researched it.
--EVA_Unit_4A
@kolbymysterio619
I thought it might have been a phoenix, since Gao Kong lives in lava. Also, when the movie came out, Gao Falcon had not been seen yet, and Bandai and Toei are really good at avoiding that.
@tubeview96
Probably coincidence. There's almost never intermixing between KR and SS; they're two completely different animals.
BTW, IMO KR:DK was quite good for an adaptation!
I have the Wild Force Megazord and Isis. I'm saving to buy the Gao Knight because I like the helmet more than Gao Muscle, and I also want another shark and tiger because the ones I already have are not in good shape if you talk about paint details, because I bought it 10 years ago and as a little boy I didn't know about the collector value (but I still hate keeping them in the box, better in a shelf protected from the sun). And because of that, I will also buy the bears separated.
Uhhh, just gonna tell you something. I just watched a review of the Ultimus Megazord, and they actually DID keep the red chrome and die-cast metal, so that means the boos and hisses can be thrown out the window
@EVAUnit4A That's a set I'm interested in getting one day. I've seen reviews on how they work and they're incredible! I can't wait for your reviews!
@CollectionDX that may have been where i came across that information
@CollectionDX yeah, I guess, but "Roars" to me fits a bit better since the whole thing with Gaoranger is that Gao is the japanese sound of roaring
@gaogod84
Oh, I know that book! I still really want one too. FYI, the official listing of all 100 Power Animals is in that book!
AH-HA! I just checked the scans I have of those pages, and lo! there's a picture of Gao Knight with it's visor raised; I KNEW I'd seen it somewhere before!
Is that what you were referring to?
Glad you like my vids. ^^
--EVA_Unit_4A
@EVAUnit4A I dunno, but if you do something as simple as a goole image search for "Ultimus Megazord" you'll find shots depicting that the chrome and metal were kept. I would link you to a site, but apparently you can't add URL links to comments
@codeywings10
It's also possible that it was never released. Some of the toys in that mook were never put into production even though prototypes were made.
EVA the main reason why Gao Kong was red was kinda a throw back to King Kong vs Godzilla. King kong in japan was a Reddish Brown color.
great video, also despite what you said I think you should still make an alternate mode video, It'll be nice to hear an opinion on the different combos.
@shifty0212
I couldn't find reliable info on Gao Ape's combo head, so thanks. Others have asked in comments below yours as well.
WHAT!? The photos I saw of Ultimus- on two different sites, no less!- had all the changes I mentioned! WTH.
Thanks for clearing up the black Gao Elephant issue. I wasn't sure about that because I had seen it both ways.
--EVA_Unit_4A
Where did you buy that awesome Sentai book?
your review's are awosome collection dx and in case you want to review it i heard there will be in stores dx usa shinken-oh and a figure and zord set in stores just to let you know.
@streakthehedgehog76
No, I DO know. The official listings for the Hundred Beasts was released years ago, and there is no 'Snow Leopard'.
@festeraddums77
The TRU version that was black? Good for you. ^^
with all the repaints i wish there would have been at least one more set of legs so gaomuscle could stand and where can i find one of those pucks now and days
@CollectionDX yes that is exactly what i was referring to.
@ikaafuta97
No problem! Glad I could help. I bet it sits a bit more secure now, huh? ^^
@EVAUnit4A nah this is one of the best if not the best the amount of combos you can do with the zords is huge i would have loved if the series had all the zords all 100 of them
Usually, I see the movie's title translated as "The Fire Mountain Roars" not Howls
@apex2000
the Armadillo Puck in Power Rangers Wild Force does not become the Armadillo Wild Zord itself.
I called the adapter piece a "puck" because it looks like one.
@David315842

Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
@PizzaroniAwesomeness
I don't have the Blizzard Force Megazord. But I do have the Bakuryuu Gattai Bakuren-Oh!
I already reviewed the Bakuren-Oh on CollectionDX com.
@CollectionDX oh well, to each her own~
you said you had some filler reveiws for the rest of the year, would a guess of a reveiw of the Magiking be an accurate prediction? (since you said you dont like the other magiranger mecha :o except for wolzard maybe)
@Franco16971
Oh? I've never heard of those before, and they're not on the official listing of the Hundred Beasts.
23:58
It's "GaoIcarus Another Foot & Arm" genius!
I mean for the toy line,but yeah maybe.Plus blue my favorite color so it would be cool to have a blue power animal in the lead!And,4 lions I only know 2?
@EVAUnit4A thats what i ment will you be doing a video for it soon : )
@KnivesInAToaster
It actually touched runway on Goseiger...
GaoKnight's visor reminds me of the pattern on the front of MagiRed's helmet.
@sephiroth900000
Thank you. ^^
And thank JoshB for getting us extended play-times on UA-cam!
--EVA_Unit_4A
@CollectionDX hmmm thank u
and is there any english ones by any chance ??
@tformer0607
Poseidon Org charged half-cocked at Gao Knight right after it was formed. The combo just stood there as he ran, and then at the very last moment swung with the sword across his stomach. End of story.
--EVA_Unit_4A
@ninjablack100
Yeah, me too. A whole bunch of new, non-repaint toys that are fully backwards-compatible? (*toygasm*)
@CollectionDX
that will work just fine!
You know, Eva? I think that those feet are hinged for cannon articulation in Gao Knight. just a guess
10:42 RAWR!
Rawr.
Rawr!
_Rawr!_
...Rawr.
I'm saving for this guy.
@Galax1809
Having not seen any Gao Muscle battles, I can't say for sure if they are. However, Gao Knight does not use them (WHY I don't know!).
--EVA_Unit_4A
@EVAUnit4A One other question. I wonder if you or CollectionDX will review the Abaranger Bakuryuu set?
try time robo arms with gao king lol when you do the limb swapping and maybe with hurricanger, abarenger, deka ranger, ect if you can.
I was wondering if you knew about the contest exclusive white lion
@battlebrowler
Mmm, no I'm pretty sure the footage from "Fire Mountain Howls" was never imported. And Gao Knight never appeared in the series.
@elai99
Well, first off, there was no Gao Icarus Double Knuckle in the series, even though the toys are easily capable of doing this.
Second, I would have to make a separate video featuring all of the secondary combos we saw, which I'm not at this time.
And third, can't you use your imagination?
@TheBlackShinigami
There's no explanation how/why Gao Kong's roar reached the PAs; even Tetomu was surprised.

--EVA_Unit_4A
@CollectionDX can you guys show us the figure if there was a gao icarus double kunkle
i mean in a review at least show us the combo for again gao icarus double knuckle
that was the gaoranger theme song, im pretty sure
@DarkDevastator101
Ahh, I had to check, but I can't find any pictures of it. I can't answer either way if it's based on Gao Muscle or Gao Knight's face. They're just so rare that finding pictures is very difficult.

@GenX6887
I think we got enough repaints out of this line, don't you...? ;P
Some kind of bull. The "Purple Bison Zord" was actually meant to be an Auroch Wildzord.
where do u live man? ur toys r us are awesome... the Toys R us from where i live sells bs stuff ... couldnt even find pokemon toys ...>_<
@NewKira16
Ok, just checking. Most people on UA-cam either don't reply or really ARE lazy bums. Nothing personal! ^^;
There was the all-black Gao King repaint, and of course the Gao God remold(s). But other than that, no other repaints of the Totem PAs.
As to Gao Manta, there were no prototypes made. It was considered (look at the article on my profile that I mention in the vid), but never made physically.

Oh, and thank you for the compliment. ^^

@EVAUnit4A Cool, Thanks for the explaination.
eva unit 4a can you show a gao icarus double knuckle toy picture
@demien2341
I got mine from HobbyLink Japan, but it's probably out of print by now.
@DarkDevastator101
Exclusives? Other than Gao Hunter Blue Moon, not really.
@krx50
...what? I saw several different sites, and they all had the same version I described. Ugh... maybe BA changed something mid-production?
Did you ever get the juuohken, the falcon summoner, or the blue moon?
@streakthehedgehog76
No, Gao Leopard is part of Gao God, and there is no listing for a Gao Snow Leopard.
have you ever thought of getting the soul bird
I think Bandai should've made a Gao Grizzly along with Gao Panda. You know by simply repainting one of the two bears brown.
awesome where can i get the power animals
