Ninpuu Sentai Hurricaneger Hurricane Gyro ハリケンジャー ハリケンジャイロ

Ninpuu Shinobi Change! HAA!

As usual, i'm not a tremendous fan of Hurricaneger. The show was...tolerable until it realllly jumped the shark and introduced probably one of the most obnoxious characters in recent years: Shurikenger.

But enough of that, let's talk about the Hurricane Gyro...

I've always been fond of the Hurricane Gyro. Not for it's looks or anything; I just love changers that need to be manually operated. Most changers, you just press a button and viola...you've just 'changed'. Here you have to press a button and then strike the gyro for the correct motion [something recently used on the Boukenger Accellular]. And weapon fans would get a kick out of this one as well as this doubles as one!

Looks wise, it's a pretty good looking toy. It is the very first toy with the nylon wristband which is a total plus. My only complaint for the looks is how the gold of the Shinobi Medal [which, btw, is made of plastic and not Metal as the coins of Ninja Sentai Kakuranger Doron Changer is so far the only toy to have metal coins] doesn't match the gold of the gyro. That aside, as I was saying, this is a pretty cool looking toy.

This toy has been released in the Power Rangers Ninja Storm line as the Wind Morpher. Though it has been modified for the American market.

As always, thanks for watching my reviews. Please subscribe today if you haven't already. I have several [and I mean SEVERAL!] reviews in the pipeline. So subscribe today to be the few to know about them! Thanks!

NOTE: I own two Hurricane Gyro. The boxed pictures are of a sealed Bandai Japan version and the open box pictures are the Bandai Asia version. As far as I can tell, there are no differences between the two.
