Mind: blown

I'm just gaping at this because I hadn't been aware of the property, and thus, had no reason to make the connection to Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger. This HAD to be the Zyuohger toy line's primary inspiration.

Animal heroes? Check.
Cube that turns into a mecha? Check.
Little static, mostly unpainted mini-figures that accompany the cubes? Check.

A tiny style change, and this could be Cube Crab, except that looks significantly better than most Zyuohger cubes, and doesn't have to conform to the hollow-center gimmick. Also, this is the first time I've reckoned with how much the stake-the-cubes gimmick limited their potential to be cool toys.

I'm a little wistful because this is so much cooler than the animal cubes.

Glad you like it.
I have 4 more reviews in the pipeline to finish off the series.
It's such a odd gem. I'm surprised that this series didn't make a bigger splash.
I just wish they expanded this series or made it a little bigger.

It's a great display piece. But a even better Desktop piece.
when I'm stressed out I fold it up and push the button.
It's just a joy to see it explode into action.
