There truly are one hundred Power Animals. They were there when the human/Orgu conflict began over 1000 years earlier and are assumed to have been used then as well. They have been with the GaoRanger ever since the series began- we just never ‘saw’ them all until the end...

A very impressive and successful end to the primary mecha line from the 25th-Anniversary Super Sentai series.

I tell ya- this may be my favorite individual Power Animal of them all! The level of detail put into this thing is awesome and successfully crowns the entire 2001 line of Power Animals.

I [personally] consider Gao Dias to be one of the most versatile and powerful of all Power Animals, seeing as how he was able to heal five PAs all at the same time, and then restrain [an] Orgu by himself.

Gao Rhino and Gao Armadillo make an interesting, possibly unique, pair in the Power Animals line.

To get a DX Gao Hunter was a highlight in my Super Sentai collection that has finally been fulfilled. The movement of the arms, the paint apps, how it changes - all of that makes it a highly favored piece in my collection.

Gao Muscle is a near completely different creature from Gao King. Gao Bison remains as the lower torso and legs, but Gao Eagle has been demoted to waist joint/skirt; its wings now wrapped around Gao Bison's head instead.

Gao Gorilla has turned into one of my favorite Power Animals because of the glistening green coloring, and his wide range of poseability. But there is one more, important reason why I got him...

The two brother bears are identical in every respect except for coloring and the element emblems along their back legs. Unlike most of the others in the Power Animals line, Gao Polar (based on an arctic polar bear) and Gao Bear (based on an American black bear) have no die-cast metal or any PVC anywhere in them.

Gao Giraffe is an elegant, if somewhat arrogant, looking Power Animal. Standing just over 7 inches, he can easily overlook all of the others with his long silver legs and tall neck.

I won't say I like it, but I won't say don't get it. It was well made just like the other Power Animals, and it fits in just as well with the design flow of the series.

The DX Hyakujuu Gattai Gao King made some interesting steps, and was the start of a series which would go through ups and downs, and whose design would influence future Super Sentai combo mecha for years.
