BANDAIShuriken Sentai Ninninger DX Bison King Toy Figure - Animal-Themed, No Assembly Required, Modern Style, Ages 3+

BisonKing is yet another stellar entry in a really fun toyline. And boy, is it large in the Bison Buggy mode. I knew the buggy was larger than the other individual Otomonin in the line, but I didn't know quite how much larger it really was. While Lion Ha-Ojo is HUGE, the Bison Buggy's footprint isn't really all that much smaller when they're side by side. Obviously it's not quite as massive, and not anywhere near as tall, but it still takes up quite a bit of desk/table/shelf space in that configuration. He rolls pretty well, but his wheels are pretty loud on any hard surface and he is basically just the robot form laying flat on his stomach with some parts swapped around. Doesn't bother me, but I could see some others not liking that aspect of the buggy mode.The main event for this set is when Rodeomaru combines with the Bison Buggy's transformed (partsformed?) mode to form BisonKing, which is really cool looking with his cowboy-hat shuriken and gold tassels. Unlike Shurikenjin, who is piloted from the cockpit in his chest (Dumpmaru) - Rodeomaru actually rides on top of BisonKing to form the head, with the shuriken sitting on top. BisonKing isn't quite as articulated as Shurikenjin and Gekiastu Dai-Oh, since he does not enter a sitting position like those two do - so he's more along the lines of what we're used to with Sentai mecha; arm articulation, and that's about it. That said, BisonKing is also the only mecha formation in the line who can stand inside Lion Ha-Ojo's back cavity since his feet are smaller than Shurikenjin and Gekiatsu Dai-Oh's. As a nice couple of bonus options, Bison King can also combine with Dragomaru to form BisonKing Drago, or Surfermaru to form BisonKing Surfer, although the latter never appeared in the show. Rodeomaru can also replace Shinobimaru as a pilot to form the Shurikenjin Texas combination. Lots of different options with this set.In typical Sentai sixth-mecha fashion, BisonKing can also split apart into a bunch of parts to combine with Shurikenjin to form King Shurikenjin, who is tall and beautiful, and surprisingly solid. The super-mega-robo-diaper part included with BisonKing that attaches to the back of Shurikenjin's legs helps stabilize him quite a bit. The King Shurikenjin combo actually ends up being the tallest in the whole toyline, standing about a Shuriken/Head taller than Lion Ha-Oh and his combos. On top of his ability to form BisonKing and King Shurikenjin, he also combines with Lion Ha-Oh, and Shurikenjin or Gekiatsu Dai-Oh to form Ha-Oh Shurikenjin and Ha-Oh Gekiatsu Dai-Oh, giving guns and a sweet fanny pack to both ultimate combinations, which really provides some much needed counterweight to all the front-loaded mecha parts those formations have.This is a great stand-alone toy with two different modes and a smaller pilot figure to ride/pilot them - but he really shines if you have the rest of the toyline to combine him with as well. If you're collecting the Ninninger toyline - or even if you just have Shurikenjin - this guy is more than good enough to pick up. If you're planning to complete the toyline, however, then this is an absolute must have - and he's well worth every cent (or yen) you'll spend on him.

The Ninninger DX mecha line continues with the DX Bison King. Bought for my son last year for Christmas, and he loved it. Got here very quickly, and it was worth the cash.Bison King can be divided into two zords, the ATV-like Bison Buggy, and the Shinobimaru-esque pardner to Starninger, Rodeomaru. The NinShuriken included, the Otomo NinShuriken: Rodeomaru, has three sounds meant to be used in Starninger's burger-cellphone morpher (not included, expect Ninja Steel to change it up majorly) - activation (Otomo NinShuriken!), standby (guitar riff - The Come On! (repetitive trio of guitar-string plucks), and summon (spinning - Rider, Rider-er (???) RODEOMARU! (rock music, engine revs)). When formed into Bison King (whose face kinda looks like Simon's glasses from "Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann"), or combined with the DX Shuriken Gattai Shurikenjin (also sold separately) to form King Shurikenjin, your own Nintality will surpass the limits! So what are you waiting for? In the words of Bruno form MMPRToys, "I THINK I NEED THAT!!!" So go get yours today!

This is much nicer and better built then the American version was.I would definitely recommend buying this over the American version if you can afford it.the American power rangers version is certainly the lesser cheaper version

I haven't checked this out yet since it is wrapped for my sons christmas present but im sure it wont disappoint bison king is now part of his collection and im sure he will love it as much as his shuriken sentai zords which are awsome!!! Now he will be able to combine them all he will go crazy

I’d been waiting for this guy to show up as Prime eligible for months and when he finally did I snagged one quickly. Like all the other available Ninninger toys this one is highly detailed and fun to play with. I like how ornate everything from Ninninger is and pictures really do not do them credit. That said, I find one point of the design for Bison King to be very odd. When he is in ‘robot mode’ there is a large piece sticking out of the back by a couple of inches. You can fold this piece down a little bit but it looks odd this way. This long piece fits fine in the ‘buggy mode’ but in the form you will likely want to display him in it just juts out. This also makes him more difficult to display, I had to put him in the corner of my display shelf at an angle to work around this. Overall, I like Shurikenjin much more but really can’t complain since I intend to collect all the toys from this series. His combined form with Shurikenjin is very tall and looks great. Both look good displayed side by side and share the same red color plastic that ties the set together.

The Bull Rider Megazord is good it reminds me of Ramrod from World Events' and Studio Pierrot's Saber Rider And The Star Sheriffs, so if you're a Ninninger A.K.A. Power Rangers Ninja Steel fan i think you should get it while it still good y'all.

Made very poorly! We bought ahead of time to have for our sons 8th birthday. It comes apart every time a arm moves or a leg. We didn’t open it until the 4th of July on his birthday bc we were expecting a great quality for the price tag we paid. Very disappointed and missed the return window.

My son loves it because of the sound and transforms plus combines with other megazords

子供にプレゼントです！ずっと欲しがってたので、とても喜んでくれましたー

息子がキンちゃん、ロデオマル大好きだったので、本編終了後に少し安くなったタイミングで購入しました。アメリカン！ロデオマルが頭部に乗って、後ろに足をはみ出させている所など、他にない造形で面白いです。バイソンキングバギーもなかなかカッコいい。バギーの形で飾っています。知らない友人が見てトランスフォーマーと勘違いしていました。　笑

普通に、良かったです。

欠品をつかまされたので速攻で返品しました。

子供も喜んでくれました。中々のボリュームで、DXシュリケンジンと合体させると凄い大きくなりカッコいいです。
