Restoration - KO Dinogeist (Yuusha / Brave series)

Restored another shampoo-bottle-plastic KO again... this time, it is KO Dinogeist from the Yuusha / Brave series... Actually is quite a good KO, with many tight joints, but the molding is quite bad with many mis-alignments and flashes of the sprue... which often affects the joints or functions... The head is also remolded, and even with the forehead "V" shaped crest removed, the head cannot be turned 180 degrees backwards to hide in jet mode...

... anyway, here's Dinogeist in jet mode... very nice and sleek looking... However, fists are exposed without even covering at the top...



... worm's view of the jet mode...



... made a face-mask in the shield to slide up and cover the face in jet mode...



... robot mode... Picture below shows KO Dinogeist removed of stickers (left) and stickered state which he came as (right)...



... close-up view of the remolded robot head... not as cool-looking as the original one...



... This KO comes with only 1 sword (instead of 2) and a shield, which (sadly) I can only fit him on the arms these 2 ways... don't think this is how the authentic one attaches...




... My personal favourite mode is the dinosaur (???) mode... I must admit the "horns" on the dino-head looks weird initially but gradually grew on me... now I think it makes dinosaur mode looks much cuter...




... the spring-out cannons still work!!! (after removing much of the flashes that hinder the spring out motion path, that is...) Sweet...
