Buster Gear Series 09: GB Custom Visor (2012)

Rest in Peace, Mizuki Ichiro-san.

Many disparage this toy for being clunky, and hail it as the king of afterthoughts. Yes, it does require the included cradle adaptor contraption to function, but outside of that it’s exactly as advertised on the tin, AND in-show. I’d rather this than saddle the Morphin’ Brace with an unsightly, massive connection peg. Honestly, the visor itself looks great simply displayed next to the brace, or the candy toy Powered Custom vinyls, if you want the adaptor to forever live inside the box. The longer forearm strap will allow larger-wristed fans to wear the brace, to boot. There’s even a little Li-Oh inside as an added cherry on top.

There’s a little Li-Oh in us all~

A note about comparisons is below the cut.

I could not determine if the audio was rerecorded for the Korean release. As this happened with the Korean Tensouder and W Driver, however, I would STRONGLY advise caution in purchasing Go-Busters items with voice-clip functionality from their Power Rangers Go-Bursters line.

I will not be following the Hasbro releases in the service of making comparisons.
