This morpher comes with an interchangable medal for each Ranger to snap onto the gyro. Turning it on makes a beeping sound, but unlike most of the other changers this one does not make a tone every few seconds to remind you it's on. There's a very diminutive red light at the top of the morpher which flashes during every function. The Alarm button (not a communication button? crazy.) sounds for about 6 seconds before fading out. Thankfully it is not a shrill or jarring noise. Pressing the bolt activates throwing star mode, a tone will sound and then you can spin the gyro to make a shooting sound with flashing light. The faster you spin the gyro, the faster the shots which is a nice touch. Pressing the morphing button will start a pulsating noise that will fade after 5 seconds. If you spin the gyro during the pulsating noise, the transformation sound will play followed by someone saying "HA!" like they do on Hurricanger. I found it pretty silly that the morpher said "HA!" for me.

The gyro spinning is more fun than it sounds. Having any kind of emphasized/encouraged physical interaction helps to make a transformation device more fun (hence the high grade of the Aurachanger) as opposed to just pressing buttons. The only minor complaint I have is that the LED light is tiny and not very bright (and that it said "HA!", but no matter). The Wind Morpher goes for around $10-15 on Ebay and appears regularly. If you're lucky, your local Toys R Us may still have Ninja Storm morphers on clearance for about $7 each.

Final Word: Fun spin gimmick, good design. B
