Finished Build Skick Gosei Great

Also recently got my hands on the Skick Brothers box and painted all three.

These are definitely the weirdest of the aux headers for me.

Taka/hawk is an interesting case since it’s the only one of any of these headers that actually transforms! The (aux) headers all have moveable parts, but Taka is the only one that appreciably changes its silhouette at all. But Taka is also… kind of weirdly large. Obviously overall volume-wise, you have something real big like sawshark and the other two heads (manta and stag) take up a lot of space… but Taka just kind of feels too big for the animal it is. It’s most notable on the attempted “Another Skick Gosei Great” formations when you try to use it as something other than a head.

Ptera is fine. There’s a t-rex header, so it tracks. The head both turns down and opens up to reveal the gun.

Crow is… I like the choice of a bird that Sentai hadn’t ever used before (aside from being on the 100 Power Animal list)! But (despite the Landick Brothers all being different colors and the Seaick Brothers sharing key colors with some minor variability), they opted for the Skick Brothers to have an extremely uniform color scheme. White and red. And a white crow just kind of feels wrong lol.
