Dairenou was released in Japan with accurate stickers and paint aps, and a chrome sword. It included mini versions of the Dairangers.

Thunder Megazord was a rerelease of the Dairanger Dairenou. This was rereleased in the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers line with new decals, as well as having the lion head black instead of green. The thighs were also replaced with black.

Plastic Model Kit

The Plastic Model Kit of Dairenou was by released in three sets.

A Dairenou set came with individual transforming Chi Palace zords and a non-tranforming RyuuseiOh. The plastic used was only grey, red, yellow and black. The set had complete show-accurate decals. The transformation to Megazord mode was identical to the deluxe release.

A standalone non-transforming kit for DairenOu was also released this time cast in green, red and black. Its pieces could come apart and transform with the WonTiger in the set.

A Chi Palace set was headed by a transforming RyuuSeiOh with interchangeable parts to turn into warrior mode. Ryuusei-Oh was cast entirely in Red. The Chi Palace mecha were non-transormable and cast in black.

Puradera/Special Size Megazords

The Puradera Megazord was designed to look a bit closer to the screen version. The Lion and Firebird parts do not transform, and the Red Dragon is unseen. The Unicorn and Griffin can be removed to form simplified versions of the zord forms.

Under Power Rangers, it was the first to be marketed as 'Special Size', however, it fell under the same category of toys as those that followed it. It was also released with decals matching the Deluxe version.

Party Favour Set
