B-Fighter Kabuto Insect Commander ビーファイターカブト インセクトコマンダー

So...it's been a year and a half since i've reviewed the Command Voicer from BF Kabuto. What gives? Why the delay? I dunno...read my Myspace Blog for the true answer. ^^

The Insect Commander is the henshin device for B-Fighter Yanma (ビーファイターヤンマ), Genji (ビーファイターゲンジ), Min (ビーファイターミン), and Ageha (ビーファイターアゲハ).

As many of you might know...I hate repainted toys...with a burning passion. This one takes it to a whole new level though. It's *barely* repainted. Still silver'n black except with red tint instead of black tint over the microphone (well...the sound sensor would be the more correct term). What do the cards do this time? They open,,,a....screen? shield? ummm Tricorder? vanity mirror? What *IS* that? Regardless, it holds data chips (made of paper. grrr) that hold the B-Fighter stats. All this bothers me in various ways...but the thing that bothers me the most is....

...tha cards! Three blank cards for FOUR characters? What were they smoking? Poor BF Ageha is barely even mentioned on the box let alone pictured. So with the blank cards you need to apply *groan* stickers. What the hell? Even if they went the sticker route, why leave out a fourth card? This has to be one of the worst decisions in Bandai history.

One other thing that bothers me is the sound. They're basically sped up versions of the same sounds from the Command Voicer. Lame. Same lightshow aswell. Lame.

Now that I think about it, this toy doesn't deserve the 2.5 I gave it in the video. Maybe a 2/5 would've been more appropriate.

This toy was planned for a US release for Beetleborgs Metallix, but never materialized. Bandai America wouldn't even touch this one... It made an appearance in a toy catalog and was never heard of in the US again...
