Here is something extremely unexpected – it seems that the spirit of the Transformers Disney Label subline is being carried on by Bandai & Tamashii Nations – and that they are bringing it back with a combiner. This Japanese magazine scan, which we saw posted on Facebook by Autobase Aichi, shows mecha versions of Micky Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald and Daisy Duck, Goofy and Pluto merging into a single robot mode. The mecha share a few design cues with the original Disney label versions of the characters. By appearances, Goofy and Pluto are forming legs, Donald and Daisy the arms, Micky the chest and Minnie we’re not entirely sure. The head is even formed by Steamboat Willie, from the first Micky Mouse cartoon!
We’ve since had confirmation, by way of the Cybergundam blog, that this is a Bandai / Tamashii Nations release rather than a new Disney Label item.

I managed to get this "Disney Megazord" from TFSource and, in my opinion, I think it's an awesome combiner! I hope we get to see more licensed mecha combiners like these eventually. What next, a SpongeBob SquarePants & Friends combiner?

I just saw this on display at a shopping centre yesterday. Snapped some pics and will post them later.
This thing looks pretty cool. I really dig the steamboat head, and Pluto's dog house. And it's all so nice and shiny.

The elbows do bend. I figured it out accidently while toying around with donalds feathers. Its also later confirmed in images and reviews. I would recommend taking the arms out and articulating them seperately cause im afraid of adding stress to the gestaults joints. Pulling the arms out of the socket is easy.

Upon combining them for the first time i was immediately underwhelmed and disappointed with its size. Im a sucker for big robots and was initially sold by its concept and the size of its packaging/ toy images without doing too much research.
The product itself benefits from some high quality engineering. I totally appreciate the diecast material and weight of each individual botmodes. Design is detailed and very clever. The intelligent dual usage formalistically is highly commendable, ie Minnies skirt becoming a turbo rocket pack behind, Donald and Daisys feathered behinds, becoming armoured forearms, Minnies feet opening up to form the armoured plating on the torso…
Am i the only one to be disturbed by the lack of articulation for the leg? Pluto legs bend alright but Goofy is a brick. Perhaps its meant to counter the weight of the toy. That was probably the reason for its relatively demure size. The weight would bring abrasive issues on all joints.
Overall im happy with the purchase because it really is one of its kind. And even though it stands shorter than my leaderclass figures…the sheer abundance of color on it and the diecast reflectivity just make this little guy stand out among my mecha collection.

Here's my review of the Disney Combiner. Short version: It's pretty awesome.

This one is a lot cheaper thatn BBTS. I'm sure the shipping is higher but I doubt it's $80 higher. I've never used amiami though so I don't know how their service is.

good pictures. Now i'm just trying to decide which online retailer is the best way to go in terms of pricing, shipping etc etc
Big Bad Toy store or HobbyLinkJapan?

There are some new pics up.

I wonder what the quality of this will be like.
EDIT: Does Bandai stuff like this hold it's value? Something tells me this is going to have a ridonkulous aftermarket price.

I have this preordered at bbts but I may cancel it. Between the price and lack of articulation(which was my own over zealous hopes for something closer to SOC/SRC range). It may not be right for me.
siccoyote
Well that's convinced me, pre-ordered 2, one for me, and one to sell later for me to justify buying it at all.

The design looks 'fun' but I think I'll pass up on it as I can't fit it into my collection…it looks too offbeat for me!

Sorry I had meant HobbySearch, but on HLJ you'd want to search for "Chogokin"

Damn that's a huge price difference but I've never ordered from Amiami before.
HLJ has it? I tried to search for it but so far no luck, what's the category or search terms i need to use?

Don't think this has been posted yet, but just to solidify that his is a Super Sentei product and not Transformers, here is the Disney crew with Ranger uniforms that's been released to promote the toy:

Being a Bandai Disney and Super Sentei/Power Ranger crossover, it'll have the same articulation as the Deluxe Megazords, which is limited to up and down shoulder articulation. Similar figures in stores now is the Power Ranger Samurai Megazord if you wanted to look at something for reference.
I love it, being a collector of Megazords and a big Disney fan.
