Wasn't sure where to post this. Trying to find some info about this curious box. I've had these since I was a kid in the 90s and I just realized that one of these is missing the "Mighty Morphin". Was this on purpose? I'm not familiar enough with this series, and set of toys.

The small print underneath Trini's name is also different.
Misprints are possible, as are fakes, but I think the better answer is part of the critical reception to the series back in the day: There were those who literally objected to the phrase "Mighty Morphin'" and "It's Morphin Time!" because it sounded like "morphine" and would entice kids to do drugs. At least, that's what some thought, and in such cases (possibly more on an international level than a U.S. level I think) they would blatantly drop "Morphin" from the branding and make it "Mighty Power Rangers" or just "Power Rangers". |

I see, that does make sense. International vs. USA. Thanks for the replies everyone.

I think it is from a region where "Mighty Morphin" was dropped out of fear it might encourage children into taking morphine.

You should see if you can locate some manufacturing date/location on the boxes or instructions.
