Question About KR: Dragon Knight

[DigDoug]

This may seem like a very stupid question to some of you, but do we know if they are gonna be selling belts 'n stuff from this in toy stores? And if they are, do we know what (if any) changes are gonna be made to them from the Ryuki ones?

If Bandai of America is in charge of the toys, they'll probably be a bit smaller than the Japanese versions.

If they make belts designed for American kids they'll have to be big enough to fit the average adult.

 

[NAND NOR]

I don't think anyone really knows for certain at this point. There are a small few on the board that might know something, but I imagine they're going to keep quiet so nothing gets leaked.

I'm going to go out on an uninformed limb and say that if anything is sold in stores, it will be repackaged Bandai of Japan merchandise. I don't think Dragon Knight really has the same backing as something such as Power Rangers, which for good or bad has the Disney money influence to propel it forward here in the United States.

Or a bit larger as shown by the Drivemax Megazord.

The question isn't going to be size, it's going to be will the American versions have all the details (paint aps, features, etc...) that the Japanese ones did.

And I'd say that it's a safe bet that they will not have the same details and will be somewhat inferior to the originals.

But it'll be cheaper. Why pay 80 dollars for a toy you will only play with for a week then stuff back into it's box to look pretty?

I don't really know much about the megazord toys, I was just thinking of the Mystic Morpher and Overdrive Tracker.

Anyway, a guy on YouTube just posted a video of the DragVisor from Ryuki a couple of days ago and it looks awesome. I hope the American version is a lot like this, but of course they'll change the voice, because an American toy wouldn't say "Sword-o Vent-o", no matter how cool it sounds.

I'm not disagreeing as I think collectors and those fans with the means will pay the 80+ dollars to get the original version.

They probably won't show up until near the end pf the season --
