It's called the "Engine

It's called the "Engine DaiShogun". And keep in mind that even though the official spelling is "Engine", the actual word is "Enjin" which means "Flame-god". So while Engine-Oh is "Flame-god-King", Engine DaiShogun is "Flame-god Great-Emperor".

MagiKing Perfect Edition

I guess this is just me but, if only the Perfect Edition contained some die-cast metal in it, then it might have justified the higher price of the toy even more, besides the fact that it's a great repaint of a toy.

Off-topic wise,I MIGHT be getting the DX DaiShogun this December since it's a better version of Engine-Oh.

Delayed official materials, or good knock-offs?

I often feel that anything that was not produced by authorized manufacturers- regardless of how close it may seem- is a knock-off, and isn't considered "official-release" materials. So, anything that comes out of Korea, Taiwan, etc. that doesn't appear the same year and only through official channels I don't count.
For example: there was an all-silver/light gray DX Gao Hunter released the year after "GaoRanger" ended, but it wasn't sold in Japanese markets even though it was one of their products. So, is it officially part of the line, or is it a well made knock-off?

Am I too far off the mark on this subject?

In america and Japan there

In america and Japan there may not have been a reissue, but in England and Korea (and other places) they are behind in sentai series. Korea is known to run brave series toys long after the series has ended, so who knows if this user isnt in HK, Korea or a place like that where such practices are common?

O.o? Reissue? There was

O.o?

Reissue? There was no reissue. Now, there was the Complete Edition DX MagiKing, which was a suped-up repaint, but it sold for, like, double the cost of the regular, and came in a fold-open book-like silver window box, and added the unique MagiBall that MagiFairy changed into for their combo attack.
God- I wish I could have gotten that one-!

I like them for different reasons, but I agree that the MagiKing is, by far, the better compared to the DekaRanger Robo.

It's my favorite toy now...

I just bought a DX MagiKing yesterday...it was a re-issue according to the toy supplier (and had a lower price since it was just a re-issue) and I like this toy more than the DX Dekaranger Robo right now.
