【Hyakuju Sentai Gaoranger】 That Transformation Item is Revived in the Modern Era! The G Phone Worn by the Gaorangers is Now Available as Merchandise, Featuring Motion Sensors and Sound Gimmicks!

The excitement of “Hyakuju Sentai Gaoranger” remains undimmed even after more than 20 years. The transformation item that symbolizes it, the “G Phone,” has returned in a long-awaited Memorial Edition. This is not just a reissue. The “G Phone -MEMORIAL EDITION-” thoroughly pursues authenticity from the show and includes new features and effects, making it an item that “appeals to memory,” packed with surprises amidst the nostalgia. Whether you were obsessed with it in front of the TV back then or want to immerse yourself in that world now, this one item is sure to deliver a special experience.

The set includes the G Phone unit itself along with five types of antenna heads. This allows you to freely recreate the forms of all members, from Gao Red to Gao Blue, Gao Yellow, Gao Black, and Gao White. This specification, which lets you enjoy the pleasure of role-playing as each member, not just the visual differences, further enhances its completeness as a collectible. It is a detailed configuration that even those who demand no compromise in recreating the transformation scenes will surely be satisfied with.

One of the biggest highlights of the Memorial Edition is the inclusion of a motion sensor. In addition to traditional button operation, the iconic transformation sound effect rings out in response to the physical motion of swinging the G Phone. The direct link between your hand movements and the effect greatly increases the feeling of “actually transforming,” rather than just pressing a playback button. Furthermore, the number of LEDs has been enhanced from the conventional two to four, allowing you to enjoy visual effects that are closer to those seen in the show.

The appeal of the G Phone doesn't stop at transformation. By keying in codes, you can activate all kinds of sounds, including multiple BGM tracks like the theme song “Gaoranger Roar!! (TV Size),” the sound effects for their roll call, and even the roars of the Power Animals and the attack sound of the Evil Crushing Hyakujuuken. The design, which can recreate the world of the show through sound, proves its completeness as an “experience-based item” that goes beyond being a toy. The sound composition is truly fitting for a memorial item, as it vividly revives the scenes from back then in your mind just by listening.

The sculpting of the unit is based on the former DX version, but various parts have been newly molded and evolved into a more refined silhouette. The transformation gimmicks into Hero Mode and Animal Mode have also been faithfully inherited, so the range of play remains intact. Furthermore, die-cast material is used for the joint sections, giving it a persuasive “weight when held,” not just a visually appealing look. This improvement in texture creates a sense of exhilaration, as if you are holding a “real piece of equipment.”
