For people who were absorbed in imitating transformation scenes in front of the TV as a child, “GoGo Sentai Boukenger” should still be a special existence even now. The transformation item “Accellular” that can be called its symbol reached the milestone of the 20th broadcast anniversary and appeared as a MEMORIAL EDITION for adults. Rather than simply reissuing an old toy, its charm lies in a degree of completion as if shaping the longing held back then using modern technology. From the moment you pick it up, “memories of those days” naturally revive, making it a commemorative model that provides new ways of enjoying that do not end with just looking at it as a collection.

What surprises one first with this item is the point of thoroughly pursuing the realism of the transformation scene. A mechanism where the main unit vibrates in accordance with the engine sound is adopted, conveying the intensity of transformation not only by hearing with ears but also to the palm of the hand. Furthermore, multiple LEDs are built inside the turbine, reproducing the spark-like light direction that was impressive in the show when rotating. The feeling of being able to experience inside your own hands the direction viewed through the screen sets it apart from conventional toys. Each gimmick connects naturally, allowing you to taste a feeling as if entering inside the story.

The charm is not just light or vibration. By having impressive line voices recorded, the atmosphere of the story is added to transformation play, finishing into a result where fans who know the work will inadvertently spill a smile the more they listen. Adding to that, because BGM and sound effects that enlivened the show are also abundantly recorded, simply turning on the switch spreads the worldview of Boukenger all at once. The air rendered by sound is larger than imagined, and giving not only nostalgia but even fresh emotion is a charm unique to this MEMORIAL EDITION.

Compromise cannot be felt in the exterior either. While cherishing the image of the DX version that served as the base, it has been brushed up to an impression closer to the prop used in the show, such as adding screw cover parts on the back. Also, the screen design has been revised, achieving a finish with more reality. Furthermore, Bouken Chips have been changed from paper to plastic with excellent durability, greatly improving the texture when actually taking it in hand. Precisely because fine details are carefully crafted, it emits a sufficient presence even as a collection to enjoy displaying.

The set contents are a simple structure of the main Accellular unit and 2 Bouken Chips, but the degree of completion packed inside is extremely high, and the main unit size is also summarized in an exquisite balance easy to hold in hand and easy to display. Not to mention actually enjoying the transformation direction, displaying it in a collection case emits a presence as a 20th anniversary item. Precisely because it is a specification responding to both play and appreciation, it will become an item where special value can be felt for fans who have loved the work for many years.

Among transformation items of numerous Sentai series, “Accellular MEMORIAL EDITION” is not a simple reissue. While calling back memories of those days, it is finished as a commemorative model that creates new emotion through technology unique to modern times. Vibration, light emission, sound, and sculpting polished down to fine details become one, making a content where the charm of Boukenger can be felt anew. This item equipped with a special feel suitable for the 20th anniversary milestone is a highly complete gem that can be recommended with confidence to both people seeking nostalgia and people searching for authentic roleplay toys.
