In what? The two suits? The Fighting Spirit suit has pretty noticeable differences like I laid out in the review. Silver morpher vs the original gold, dagger holster on the wrong hip and in the color, the silver stripe on the crest and bridge of the helmet. In the episode, even the chest shield isn't accurate. The suit was made from scratch and no one paid attention to the fact that they did these things wrong. The original suit from the Saban era was out of comission and apparently using only the most basic reference, they made the new one just for that Dino Thunder episode. Though unfortunately it was also used in Super Megaforce, then digitally altered to look closer to normal after filming.

To be completely honest, I had no idea it had any differences aside from the silver stripe until this review. The others are very minor and easy to miss unless pointed out, and someone not super into the MMPRs wouldn't really notice the silver stripe either.

When I saw the silver stripe in the Fighting Spirit episode I legit thought that I had forgotten what green ranger looked like in MMPR and had to check wiki to see if maybe he had the silver stripe at some point in the show.

I'm gonna chalk it to me not caring about MMPR or Zyuranger then

One of my favorite sets. The face sculpts for Tommy look odd though. Thankfully I'm buying them all for fully suited rangers.

Love this two pack, the putty is a great figure.

I’d love to troopbuild the Putty, but I don’t want to buy multiple copies of Tommy to do it.

"You think you can take our American Powerful Rangers, and make it into Japanese Super Sentai?" Thank you for reminding me Akiba exists, it brought a smile to my face.

In terms of the actual figure, it's weird to see this suit taking on a life of its own. Watching 'Fighting Spirit' as a child, I never noticed anything different with it (honestly, I thought it was the coolest thing that they were doing a crossover), but as you've pointed out, the differences are kinda obvious, but it's nothing major. And I'm usually a fan of obscure variants, but it's not quite different enough. Plus, I don't care for the Putty. Yes, I know it's iconic, and it's good to see it get a release like this, but I just don't go for villain figures. Still, the gallery looks good, and they're well made figures. I'm the one with the problem, not the gallery :P
