2. Setup and Assembly
The Legacy Dragonzord comes largely pre-assembled. Minor assembly may be required for certain components, such as attaching interchangeable hands.
- Unboxing: Carefully remove the Dragonzord figure and any accessories from its packaging. Retain packaging for future storage or reference.
- Attaching Hands: The figure includes interchangeable hands. To attach, align the peg on the hand with the corresponding hole in the wrist and gently push until secure. To remove, pull firmly but carefully.
- Tail Articulation: The Dragonzord's tail features multiple ball joints. These allow for a wide range of motion. Adjust the tail to your desired pose by gently manipulating each joint.
Important Note on Combinations: Instructions for combining the Legacy Dragonzord with other figures, such as the Legacy Dino Megazord, are typically included with the respective combination parts or the Megazord itself. Specific combination steps are not provided in this manual.

3. Operating the Figure
The Legacy Dragonzord is primarily a display and posing figure. Its articulation allows for various dynamic stances.
- Posing: Gently manipulate the articulated joints in the legs, arms, and tail to achieve desired poses. Avoid excessive force to prevent damage.
- Mouth Movement: The Dragonzord's mouth can be opened and closed slightly.
- Combination Modes: When combined with the Legacy Dino Megazord, the Dragonzord can form "Dragonzord in Battle Mode" and "Mega Dragonzord." Refer to the Megazord's instructions for detailed combination steps.
4. Maintenance and Care
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Legacy Dragonzord, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe away dust. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Storage: Store the figure away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and high humidity to prevent discoloration or material degradation.
- Handling: Handle the figure with care, especially around smaller or articulated parts. Avoid dropping or applying excessive pressure.
5. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common observations and potential issues:
- Bent Head Fin: The head fin is made of soft plastic and may appear bent upon unboxing. This is a common characteristic and generally does not affect functionality. Gentle manipulation may help, but avoid excessive force.
- Stability in Combined Modes: Due to the die-cast metal components, the Dragonzord adds significant weight when combined with the Legacy Dino Megazord. This can lead to top-heaviness and potential stability issues in "Dragonzord in Battle Mode" or "Mega Dragonzord" configurations. These combined forms are best suited for display rather than active play. Ensure all connections are secure and the figure is placed on a stable surface.
- Paint Chipping During Combination: When combining with the Megazord, particularly when inserting the Megazord's head, there is a slight risk of paint chipping. Exercise caution and gentle handling during these steps.
