Thought I'd add that a recent episode has featured an Engine busou using Engine-Oh and Jetoras but not Toriptor.

I hadn't noticed that it was Jetoras Torahawk and not Tomahawk but I suppose that works as another Tora pun.

Yeah- Grand Prix 38 had

Yeah- Grand Prix 38 had both Engine-Oh Jettoras and Seiku-Oh Gunpherd at the same time, but that happened after I wrote these two reviews. (When I cover Seiku-Oh, I will mention that.)

By the way, a lot of YouTube members have asked about when I will be covering Jumbwhale, Seiku-Oh, and Engine-Oh G9...
For the record, I have found a place that had a few left, and I have secured one. I am now in the process of purchasing and shipping the toy here, so please be patient a little while longer!

Actually GP38 had Gunbir-Oh

Actually GP38 had Gunbir-Oh Jetoras and Seiku-Oh Gunpherd (the same episode that confirmed Toriptor's gender once and for all). It was GP37 that featured Engine-Oh Jetoras, formed due to Hiroto's absence from the battle.

Oh,

Oh, right-right-right-right-right-right-right, you're right. I knew Engine-Oh Jettoras was introduced somewhere in there...

Note, also, that this was the first time in Super Sentai where a limb-swap arm- which always appeared on one side- swapped to the opposing side. In Seiku-Oh, Jettoras is on the left side, and on Gunbir-Oh, Gunpherd is on the right side. But when Seiku-Oh Gunpherd was made, Gunpherd was transferred to the left side, and Jettoras to the right side on Gunbir-Oh Jettoras!
That's never happened before- a component could not switch sides [even if the toys could].

I cant recall the episode

I cant recall the episode and I might be wrong but I think it was Gold go-onwing who referred to Toriptor as a very young male rather then a girl. I think it was the episode when they try to set up Bear RV and Jetripter and the line was something along the lines saying that toriptor would be too young to understand what's going on. Saying that I think I girl fits more so then a very young male

About the toys. If they were cheap I would not feel bad about how basic they are but I'd much rather buy them as a set then as stand alone toys since their main gimmick is when you combine them
