When trouble rears its ugly head, you'd better make it a
Lightspeed Rescue
!
Continuing the galleries of the
Power Rangers Super Megaforce 5" Figures
, we're proud to bring you another legendary
Red Ranger
gallery. Having surged in popularity in recent years his figure is desired by many and found by few. That's right - we're talking about the
Lightspeed Rescue Red Ranger
,
Carter Grayson
.
Releasing in Wave 4 of the 5" figure assortment, this figure is actually harder to find than you might expect - a lot of stores never got Wave 4 and if they did, you had one (at most maybe two) chances at grabbing the figure as he was packaged one per case.
The figure itself is your standard 5" figure, 13 points of articulation and shares the same arms and legs as every other male 5" figure has. The differences in this figure are the details - and they're great! They molded the
Lightspeed Rescue
symbol on to the cuffs of the gloves and boots as well as the belt. And while the symbol isn't perfect (especially the smaller ones on the boots and gloves), the fact that it's there and looks pretty close is astonishing. This isn't
S.H. Figuarts
level of detailing, but for a
Bandai of America
figure at an affordable cost of around $10, this is an awesome surprise.
The weapons - again - are cast with soft plastic so that they bend. I'm not sure if this is a safety reason (pointy edges for swords/weapons/blades/etc) but it does hamper what is otherwise a GREAT figure! He comes with both the
V-Lancer
and the
Rescue Blaster
. The detailing on both these weapons is phenomenal - especially the
V-Lancer
(comes in the 'extended' mode).
For some odd reason (stock photos probably), the image of the
Lightspeed Rescue Red Ranger
shown on the package is shown holding his component of the
Rescue Bird
, which is not included with the figure. This doesn't happen often in this line (that the figure is shown with a weapon other than what they come with) but we do see it again in an upcoming gallery of the
Super Samurai Red Ranger
.
So let's get down to the details shall we?
THE GOOD!
The amount of detailing on the accessories, seriously WOW!
The figure looks amazing and is very photogenic
It's
Carther Mothaf&%$ing Grayson!
THE BAD!
Soft rubber-like plastic means your
V-Lancer
will most likely be pre-bent as mine is
The
Rescue Blaster
really gets in the way when pegged on to the side of the figure
Can't make the figure salute (which isn't really an overall bad thing for the figure but come on, it's a staple of the character!)
THE OVERALL CONCLUSION!
This is a great figure. The amount of detail in the boots and gloves, along with the beautiful (yet bendy) weapons make this figure a must-have for any
Power Rangers
fan. With no
S.H. Figuart
available for this figure, and no clue if there will ever be one, if you're a fan of
Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue
make it a point to track this figure down and grab one - you won't be disappointed. Kudos to
Bandai of America
for putting some extra love and effort in to these Legendary
Red Rangers
!
