Go Go Super Megaforce!
Today we're taking a high-resolution look at all 21 Ranger Keys released in Series 1 of Super Megaforce toys. Each case of keys contains x3 Super Megaforce, x3 Megaforce, x2 Samurai, x1 Mystic Force, x1 Wild Force, x1 Lightspeed Rescue, and x1 Lost Galaxy. The keys in each set are of the same quality packaged with the DX Legendary Megazord, Legendary Morpher, Cycles, and Auxilliary Zords. Each Ranger Key has a unique headsculpt that is fairly well detailed given the small scale. Based on my own experience, it seems that the quality of the paint applications can vary drastically from figure to figure. Most keys are fine but some do have rather unsightly smudges or missing spots of paint. The Ranger Keys make the following sounds when inserted into the the DX Legendary Morpher: Super Megaforce: "Super Megaforce Red" - "Summon Skyship" "Super Megaforce Green" - "Super Mega Racer" "Super Megaforce Blue" - "Super Mega Jet" Megaforce: "Megaforce" Samurai: "Samurai" - MMPR Communicator Mystic Force: 'Mystic Force" - MMPR Communicator Wild Force: "Wild Force" - MMPR Communicator Lightspeed Rescue: "Lightspeed Rescue" - MMPR Communicator Lost Galaxy: "Lost Galaxy" - MMPR Communicator For added play, each key can be scanned to unlock a virtual copy in the Power Rangers Super Megaforce Key Scanner App that is available for Android and Apple operating systems. |

The packaging is really epic, I absolutely love how they've done the picture of the the Red Ranger holding the Mobirates.
The keys themselves however, sort of suck. They're the same price if not more then the DX Gokaiger 5 Packs, even if you're importing them, only have three per pack and are ridiculously teeny-tiny and all have shrunken bodies that look rather misshapen in some instances. The app function also detracts from the look of the symbols of the back of the key and the squeezed in (and mostly covered up) design doesn't look very good either. The "spring-loaded gimmick" that was going to be the line's saving grace before they hit shelves turned out to be entirely negligible as well and does nothing to really make the toy any better. To be honest I just don't see the pull on collectors for these things, outside of displaying them in the awesome packaging. The sounds they unlock are the exact same as the much better done Gosei Morpher (in which the card gimmick was done awesomely with the ACG) and you can get far, far better versions for almost the exact same price. Beautiful pictures though, the gallery is gorgeous. |

It still sucks that these keys are a real "sausage fest" not only is it sexist and some of my favorite rangers are girls, these all most don't feel worth getting until we see some signs of girls, because only having 3/5 of the core team will drive the collector in me insane.

Fantastic gallery! I wish I had the money to go out and buy all of these, but there's no way I can drop $100+ on 24 Ranger Keys. I'll probably pick and choose my favorite sets.

It just reeks of sexism and immaturity. I thought BoA was better than this! I guess I was sadly wrong. |

The fact that there's no sign of even Gokai Yellow/Pink is really telling of BOA's general attitude. I really dislike the US Ranger Key line, to be honest.
Princess Red has a separate Key with a skirt, though. |
