It features extensive accessories like individual and combined weapons, multiple hands, unmasked portraits, and detailed stands, delivering a near-complete representation of the American show’s characters. The figures balance screen-accurate aesthetics with high-end articulation, making it the definitive collectible for fans despite some minor scale and detail inconsistencies.
Pros
- Five figures representing the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers with accurate helmet shapes and vibrant colors.
- Unique male and female bodies shared among respective rangers, with female figures featuring silicon bodies for improved articulation.
- Extensive accessory set including signature weapons, blade blasters capable of folding between knife and gun modes, blast effects, and a combined Mega Blaster.
- Two Dragon Shields and armbands included for Red and Black Rangers, matching the Green Ranger’s accessories.
- Detailed Power Morphers with personalized coins, despite incorrect belt coloring.
- Multiple interchangeable hands per figure, varying by character, suitable for signature poses.
- Articulated ankle rocker improved over previous Green Ranger figure, enabling better foot stability.
- Individual stands with respective Power Coin bases included for display.
- Soft goods with visible stitching and vinyl chest diamonds, adding texture despite minor imperfections.
- Set pricing at $400 for five figures (~$80 each) considered reasonable given the quality and accessory count.
Cons
- Oversized helmets on female figures, especially the Yellow Ranger, which appear disproportionate.
- Wavy and imperfect white diamond patterns on the chest vinyl.
- Morphers’ belt color incorrect (all silver instead of silver front and black sides).
- Some weapons are inconsistently scaled; Blade Blasters appear oversized while Power Sword is undersized.
- Female Pink Ranger hip joint exhibits limited articulation and looseness.
- Soft goods limit extreme posing; caution advised to avoid stretching or damage.
- Unmasked portraits vary in quality; some likenesses less accurate, notably Yellow Ranger and Kimberly.
- Blast effect accessories are flimsy and difficult to straighten.
- Lack of individual morphers for plain clothes versions; no combine-weapon assembly functionality included.
