Final Judgment

Deluxe Daibouken Wins

Okay, really I do not understand at all why Bandai America went to all the trouble of making new moulds and everything, just to make DriveMax.  Nothing at all is wrong with Daibouken.  I've read that Bandai America wanted to make DriveMax 30% larger.  But I must ask, WHY???  There have been numerous small Megazords in years past, so there's evidence that Megazord measure just over nine inches would not have sold.  Plus, as stated, the plastic of DriveMax seems very cheap.  It was said best on Rangerboard, that it looks like a Happy Meal toy.  I've even read that kids and parents are able to see that DriveMax is not of the same quality as previous Megazord releases.  So if you can afford to import the Deluxe Daibouken, I HIGHLY recommend it.
