Gosei Headder Series — Landick Brothers Set (2010)


I love the Landick siblings, and there's nothing overly wrong with their auxiliary Headders, their associated abilities, or Landick Gosei Great. Hey, it was doing Rider drill kicks years before Fourze, after all. Its head is a bit odd, but not offensive. I'd complain about the Tyranno Headder being uninspired, but it played into a combination attack utilized by Mouné and Eri, and you know how I feel about such things.

I don't really think the Brothers sets should be bothered with unless you want to get them all and make your own combinations. They've tended to remain cheap, though, so if you're inclined, I say go for it, even if you don't want Datas.

A note about comparisons can be found below the cut.

2 Deadly Roller-Skates out of 5

The BoA versions are passable in terms of looks but, in the words of Elvis Costello, "there's no action..." Sai Headder's drill no longer has an activation wheel, Tyranno Headder opens manually, as opposed to at the press of a button, and Kuwaga Headder's pincers are ratcheted, instead of being able to snap open and closed via a lever. Wait, that one might be an improvement depending on one's perspective...

They're sold attached to a bike that takes the place of Datas, in conjunction with the bikes from the other Headder sets. A shitty figure of Agri/Jake is included. The Eastern releases come with their Summon card.
