No overt hollow bits from the front. Overall better proportions with longer thighs and slimmer legs. Deco is also all paint versus stickers.
My biggest complaint is that the tip of the Tyrannosaurus tail doesn't fold back, which is a downgrade from the original toy. I'd expect better in that regard from a standalone release like this compared to Bandai's cheap 2010 mold or Hasbro's cheap mainline mold which had non-folding tail tips.
I also wish normal versions of the Sabertooth Tiger and Triceratops tails had been included, but it is what it is. Pterodactyl getting an opening mouth is great, but that puts more emphasis on Sabertooth Tiger and Triceratops not having them. For standalone releases I really would have expected all the mouths to open, so that's disappointing.
Overall it looks like a very solid toy to me. If you're expecting Soul of Chogoken it's not gonna meet the bar, but other than that I would consider it the best transforming Megazord since the original.
