Gosei Headder Series — DX Tensou Gattai Gosei Ultimate (2010)


I acknowledge that not everyone has taken the time necessary to appreciate Goseiger, in general, and the symbolism behind Gosei Ultimate, in specific. As the foundation stone of the Tower of Heaven, Gosei Ultimate is the literal connection between this world and Gosei World, and is the embodiment of the hopes and dreams of both populaces. They're borne upon the Goseigers' backs, not as a burden, but as a rocket-powered augmentation to Gosei Great's innate wings. The Goseigers also ride upon these wishes and sentiments, firing them as an endless rain of arrows upon all who would beset them.

Gosei Ultimate is a single-piece Chou Mecha, symbolizing the fact that the Goseigers have literally become one, the most fitting expression of ultimate power for the most egalitarian, actually Sentai-like Sentai of recent memory.

Comparisons are discussed below the cut.

The Ultimate Charge card is included. It's its Victory Charge card, but Gosei Ultimate is special that way~

You aren't going to get screen-accurate cards no matter what so you might as well go Korean. Even if they changed the barcode on the included Ultimate Charge card you can print your own to use in the Japanese Tensouder.

The BoA version is smaller but seems to be a pretty good representation. It can also turn into a "base mode" that's really nothing more than a Tensouder holder with some figure-pegs strewn across it.  That sounds dismissive, but I really think that's a super cool feature! I imagine if you can live without chrome you could put a Megaforce Ultimate next to Gosei Great. I wouldn't personally recommend the reverse, though.
