Power Rangers Legacy Red Ranger Helmet - Review

10/31/2016

0 Comments

 
The Legacy Red Ranger Helmet from Bandai is a first time product for the company showcasing a full cos-play Red Ranger helmet. This product is priced at $99.99 and is not a retailer exclusive. The product was originally scheduled for release in November but Toys R Us stores were selling the product as it arrived to them. 

Packaging

The Legacy Helmet packaging is actually not bad. The packaging features the Red Ranger on it, images of the helmet and a story of the Red Ranger as well as the origin which is similar to other Legacy Line packages. The helmet itself comes wrapped in tissue paper and then wrapped in plastic and then encased in a cardboard shell. This is good because even if the outside box is a bit damaged from shipping the product inside it most likely perfectly fine.

The Helmet & Stand

The Legacy Helmet does include a stand to display it which is a great idea. The stand has a plate on the front that says "Mighty Morphin Red Ranger" and it is done in a gold metallic paint. To me this was a great touch by Bandai and really gives the product a nice way to display it. The helmet itself is great, keep in mind this is a cos-play helmet for $99.99 and most actual cosplay helmets will cost you anywhere from $250.00 to $300.00 depending on the maker. Than being there are key differences in the Bandai version and any cosplay made helmet, the Legacy Helmet is done in a matte finish not a shiny finish (not really a big issue for me), the plastic is VERY thin in spots and the helmet itself has very little weight to it (again not a problem), the latches on the side are not actual latches but are a tension clip that can be a bit frustrating to lock back into place after the helmet is placed on your head, additionally, the Helmet comes apart at the seem so you have to make sure it is attached all the way around but this is done with just some light pushing. The helmet comes with a hairnet which I am assuming is to keep you from catching your hair in the seems when locking it into place and the inside contains a snap back style device to make the inside fit a larger or smaller head. Venting is a slight issue on the Legacy Helmet, the only vents are near the visor seeming and it does not do much for air, clearly you are not going to suffocate inside the Legacy Helmet but you will fog up the visor fairly quickly. So extra thoughts on this product, the pin striping is really good and you can easily see through the visor, it is not glasses friendly or at least I had an issue wearing my glasses inside it with my big head....

Final Thoughts

The Good

  • Very Detailed
  • Decent Price Point
  • Fits Very Well
  • Red Ranger
  • Display Stand Included
  • Design Is Accurate

The Bad

  • Clips Can Be Frustrating
  • Venting Could Be Better
The Legacy Red Ranger Helmet is a great product and being the first time Bandai has tried their had at a full cos-play helmet it could have gone either way. I think they did an excellent job with this Legacy product, they kept the price down and in line with other Legacy items as well as gave us a very good cos-play item, the added details and gave a stand. If you plan on picking up any of the Power Rangers Legacy products for the holidays I definitely suggest adding the Legacy Red Ranger Helmet to that list. Additionally I do hope that they decide to release more of these helmets either in the form of full teams or even Red Rangers. 
The Power Rangers Legacy Red Ranger Helmet gets
5 out of 5 PUNCHES! Seriously go buy one you will love it!

Official Press Release

On January 11, two of comics’ greatest teams will combine their powers and abilities for the first time! The Justice League—Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern John Stewart, the Flash and Cyborg—meet Saban’s Mighty Morphin Power Rangers in a six-issue monthly miniseries from New York Times best-selling writer Tom Taylor (INJUSTICE: GODS AMONG US, GREEN LANTERN CORPS: EDGE OF OBLIVION) and artist Stephen Byrne (JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA REBIRTH: THE RAY).
“DC and BOOM! Studios teaming up on this crossover is a dream come true for fans of Saban’s Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and the Justice League,” said Hank Kanalz, Senior Vice President, Editorial Strategy and Administration, DC Entertainment. “Stories like this are a great way to have that ‘what if’ itch scratched, combining favorite characters from different publishers in epic adventures.”
Something terrible has happened in Angel Grove when the Power Rangers’ Command Center is breached and the teleporters are damaged! Zack the Black Ranger is flung into an alternate universe full of citizens possessing outrageous powers and wearing strange costumes. Will Jason the Red Ranger, Trini the Yellow Ranger, Kimberly the Pink Ranger, Billy the Blue Ranger and Tommy the Green Ranger be able to get to Zack in time to save him from Batman?
“Everyone at BOOM! is thrilled to be part of an event of this magnitude,” said BOOM! Studios Editor-in-Chief Matt Gagnon. “We have iconic characters meeting for the first time that are beloved the world over! Our imaginations have been racing since the moment this kicked off with our friends at DC and Saban Brands. Get ready…this is one event that’s not to be missed.”
In addition to the standard covers drawn by Karl Kerschl (GOTHAM ACADEMY: SECOND SEMESTER), each issue will feature a variant cover drawn by one of comics’ most popular artists, pairing each member of the League with a different Power Ranger:
  • Batman/Pink Ranger by Dan Hipp
  • Cyborg/Blue Ranger by Dustin Nguyen
  • The Flash/Black Ranger by Yasmine Putri
  • Green Lantern John Stewart/Yellow Ranger by Marguerite Sauvage
  • Superman/Green Ranger by Chris Sprouse

“With their talented roster of writers and artists, DC and BOOM! Studios bring to life the world’s greatest superheroes, including the iconic Power Rangers,“ said Janet Hsu, CEO at Saban Brands. “With DC, BOOM! Studios and Saban Brands partnering, we will bring fans a legendary crossover that will stand the test of time, just as these historical superheroes have done individually for decades.”

Power Rangers Movie - Teaser Trailer!

10/10/2016

It was a long exciting 4 days of New York Comic Con with announcements from multiple companies, but the big one of the weekend had to by far be the release of the Power Rangers Movie Trailer! This was the first look at the movie and it left everyone wanting to see more! I have had people telling me since its release on Saturday that they want to see this movie but previously had said that they  thought it was going to be for kids. This is clearly not the case with the trailer, Saban and Lionsgate have been saying for months that this will be a "Darker Version" of the series that has been airing on T.V. all these years and in my opinion they delivered. The trailer shows us the Rangers having to attend a weekend schooling for delinquents, Jason has an ankle monitor, Trini is bullied with the words "Die Ugly Loser!!" & " No One Will Care!" written on her locker, you can also see the word "Bitch" scratched into it two times as well, Billy is bullied by someone who we can assume is Bulk and the is protected by Jason, Kimberly is confronted by her "Friends" and then cuts her hair short. The Rangers obtain the Power Coins and notice a physical change in themselves, Kimberly & Jason jump a canyon and tell Billy to follow, Jason breaks a sink by accident & when the bully confronts Billy and head buts him he is knocked unconscious with everyone staring at Billy wondering what happened. This is not an unfamiliar concept for the Power Rangers franchise, in Power Rangers Dino Thunder the Rangers gained specific abilities based on the Dino Gems and it is a cool idea to bring into the movie. Additionally Rita confronts Trini in her bedroom and tells her "I've killed Rangers before" and then grabs her by the neck and slams her into a brick wall. The trailer then turns to the Rangers standing around a room on platforms with energy swirling in the middle (presumably the Command Center) as the screen zooms into Jason we can see his Ranger Suit forming around his body. The trailer then fades out and we are then treated to that familiar "Go Go Power Rangers" tone and the trailer ends. 

The song is the trailer is called "I Walk The Line" by Halsey and can be downloaded in the link provided!

There were also new movie posters shown off at NYCC 2016, You can see them below as well!

Along with all of these released items you can now access the Angel Grove High School News Paper!

There are only 4 days until the premier of the Power Rangers Movie trailer at New York ComicCon and with that Saban & Lionsgate gave us a treat! The updated version of the Red Ranger's Power Sword was revealed and it looks amazing! It sports an updated design similar to that of the new suits and is adding to the hype for New York ComicCon where the Power Rangers brand is already asserting itself in full force. You can meet members of the original Mighty Morphing Power Rangers cast, Jason David Frank (Green Ranger - Tommy Oliver,  David Yost (Blue Ranger - Billy Cranston) & Walter Jones (Black Ranger - Zack Taylor) who will be doing signings and photo ops all days, to Bandai America selling the first Power Rangers Movie figure exclusively at NYCC 2016 and the premier of the Power Rangers Movie Trailer at Madison Square Garden on Saturday 10/8/2016 with the cast of the movie available for questions.
