Power Rangers Samurai ZordBuilder Official Bandai Images

Feb 12, 2012 - 10:56 PM - by Kickback

Gigazord! Everyone likes combining robots, right? Power Rangers Samurai gives you plenty of opportunities to collect and combine your zords.

Quote:

Historically, one of the most unique and compelling features of the Power Rangers line has been and continues to be, our ZordBuilder collection.

Construction is an aggressively growing segment, but traditional construction sets can be so square.

Bandai has fused action and construction to deliver a creative play-pattern that allows kids to build show-accurate Zords and Megazords or an infinite number of their own Zord creations and extend the Power Ranger play experience.

A perfect example of the ZordBuilder collection is the Gigazord. As seen in the TV series the Gigazord is the ultimate Megazord, and can be created by combining 3 Deluxe Megazords and 4 Zords. That’s 40 individual pieces, combining together to create the Power Rangers strongest weapon.

Power Rangers Samurai Deluxe Training Helmet and Sword Cycle Official Bandai Images

Feb 12, 2012 - 10:48 PM - by Kickback

Probably one of the coolest looking things (to me personally) is the Power Rangers Samurai Deluxe Training Helmet. It's like cosplay for us financially strapped collectors!

Quote:

Morph into Red Ranger with the Power Ranger Deluxe Training Helmet. Includes messages from Red Ranger and the Super Samurai theme song! Wear the Power Rangers Deluxe Training Helmet in Mega mode to defeat the villains. Or gain even more power by morphing the Helmet from Mega mode into Shogun mode with a quick conversion of the crown. This helmet is the perfect addition to all the Power Rangers gear!

The one thing that we're missing this season from Power Rangers Samurai is a sweet bike! True, Jayden has a horse ... but where's Symbol Power Cut Your Face Open Bike? Well, here it is! Antonio the Gold Ranger sports this new item, the Sword Cycle.

Quote:

Put your Power Rangers Sword Cycle in motion to race to anywhere evil lurks, in style! The Samurai inspired translucent swords on the Cycle can detach. Collect the 4-inch Power Ranger figures (each sold separately) and attach the swords onto their hands. For added power collect and combine the Sword Cycle with multiple items in the ZordBuilder Collection (each sold separately): the Samurai Megazord or Transporter Vehicle (#31575 and #31560, respectively). Kids can enjoy their own unique Megazord to blast away evil! Collect them all!
