 The Power Ranger Legacy Firgure (Build-A-Figure) products measure about 6.5" tall, have 20 points of articulation & come with parts to build the Megazord from their respective series. Wave one consists of MMPR Red, MMPR Green, Ninja Storm Red, Ninja Storm Blue & Ninja Storm Yellow. These figures are priced at $19.99 and have started hitting shelves this month in assortment packages. I picked up my Legacy Figures at a local Target that had them in the back room but not on the floor yet, give a Target Team Member this DPCI 087-06-4657 and they can find it for you. Bandai says we can expect to see all of the Ranger teams created including 6th rangers at about one wave per year, they have also stated that the 6th Rangers will not come with Zord pieces but instead come with a special 6th weapon or accessory. Below you can read my review of the Mighty Morphin Green Ranger Legacy Figure. PackagingThe packaging design used for the Power Rangers Legacy Figures are new when compared to Bandai's packaging format. They look similar to the packaging used on the DC Comics Icons packages, they sport the curved edge on one side and the words "Legacy Collection" with the Ranger color written below it on the plastic. The front shows the Ranger season at the bottom, that Rangers picture and the "Build A Megazord" image as well. The remaining front of the packaging is clear and shows the Ranger and the accessories they come with. The back of the package shows the current wave of Legacy Figures available and the Zord that can be built by purchasing all 3 of the current Ninja Storm team. The Rangers are held into their plastic casing by only a few plastic straps that are easily cut with a scissor additionally they are not attached at every joint and the weapons are taped into their holding spots. Check out some of the packaging photos below.
 Accessories
PosingThe 20 points of articulation that Bandai has given to the Power Rangers Legacy figures really gives alot of options when trying to find the perfect pose for these figures. There are a few issues with the Green Ranger that came to my attention during this process, since his shield does not move and can not be removed you are unable to get both of his hands around the Dragon Dagger and bring them to his helmet, I was able to accomplish this with only one hand. So basically become of the shield moving the Green Rangers arms are a bit limited, I still managed to get some great shots though. Check them out!
 Final Thoughts
Considering all of the options, I would definitely recommend that you pick up these figures or at least grab the Rangers from your favorite season. I personally will be picking up all of the Legacy Rangers that they release. The Legacy Green Ranger gets 4.5 out of 5 PUNCHES. It would have given him a 5 out of 5 if his shield was removable and his hand joints were not as annoying.

I also found the hand switching a real pain. The first time I tried the hinge in the ball actually came apart so I had half of a ball hinge on the wrist and half in the hand. I didnt break though so with some effort I was able to get them put back together

Yes, That is EXACTLY what happened when I was switching the hands. I panicked then realized it wasn't broken. However it was really hard to get it back together, took alot of pressure and a tweezer to finally reconnect the joint. I really hope they do not give additional hands in the future or at least fix this issue with a better ball joint. Keep Punching! Leave a Reply. |
