YUUSHA DX BRAVE FIGHTER OF SUN: GREAT FIGHBIRD

The final post of the three part review, let's take a look at both powered up Fighbird & Granbird.

Here is both Granbird & Fighbird in their normal forms.

Image comparisons of Breaster Jet & Flame Breaster. In case you're wondering, Breaster Jet is the one on the left, that combines with Granbird while Flame Breaster is the jet on the right that combines with Fighbird. Both of them are about the same size.

When combining both robots, Fighbird's arms flip forward.

Granbird on the other hands flips open in two, & you actually split the legs off into two parts after that.

This is the top portion of Granbird attaching onto Fighbird.

 
The bottom legs of Granbird folds down to attach under Fighbird.

United & combined, these two toys form Great Fighbird!

Great Fighbird stands more than a feet tall overshadowing all the Transformers Masterpieces or even Perfect Grade Gundams. Granbird's arms now become laser cannons that mount onto the shoulders of this huge robot, but keep reading because there's even more.

 

Side view of Great Fighbird. Although this robot is tall, the cannons at the shoulders doesn't make this robot look too skinny & thin from the side.

The Flame Sword attaches onto Flame Breaster to form a huge sword for Grand Fighbird. This is done by connecting one of Granbird's guns onto the back of Flame Breaster & attaching the sword to the tip of the gun.

The other gun is then attached behind Breaster Jet to form the Flame Shield.

This is Great Fighbird standing tall & mighty. Even though there isn't much articulation on this robot, I just wanted to own it because it reminds me of my childhood days. Seriously, I don't remember watching the cartoon but I remember seeing this robot at supermarkers where they used to sell Japanese candies.

As we come to the end of this three part review, you'd have to be amazed at the creativity of these toy designers back in the late 80's & early 90's to be able to conceptualize something like this. Below are links to the previous two posts if you want to take a better look at the individual robots.
