The Megazord itself is pretty amazing. Great detail and the best proportions of any Claw Armor Megazord released so far.

I don't really keep abreast of current lego, but I do know that this shogun ranger is probably the most impressive mini-fig I've ever seen. Series 2 of the blind bags was ripe with quality control problems, but this little dude has great paint apps and fantastic sculpting (you know, for something so tiny). Just look at that shogun spear! The thing is 2 inches long but has more paint detail crammed on it than the whole Dx Samurai Megazord! (not literally)
However, as you can see, the Shogun Ranger is simply downright incredible in its paint applications and detail. The Shogun Spear alone propels this figure. Hands down the best minifigure in Mega Bloks' Power Rangers line. This makes me skeptical about the new bodies for the Megaforce figures. They just don't feel as charming to me. Images from Brickset, Brickipedia and Brickultra.

Here you go. Not shown in the picture, but he's got a sweet pistol too. It's found in those blind-bags and this one was released not too long ago. Pretty sweet figure, I was tempted to army-build him, but the storekeepers kept staring when I rummaged too much through their blind-bags.

Current Lego has jumped leaps and bounds in the past few years in terms of minifgure design. However, as you can see, the Shogun Ranger is simply downright incredible in its paint applications and detail. The Shogun Spear alone propels this figure. Hands down the best minifigure in Mega Bloks' Power Rangers line. This makes me skeptical about the new bodies for the Megaforce figures. They just don't feel as charming to me. I'm quite impressed with the level of paint apps on the sith and the queen. I love it when companies choose not to skimp out on details so it can be more 'cost effective'. I think that's why I like Heroclix pieces so much. So tiny, but so intricate. |

It looks great but it's not LEGO! So, by the rules of Ashens, I am allowed to burn it!

I kinda hope Megaforce means minifigures of past characters. If they can keep this level of quality up, I might just start collecting...

I always thought Lego did good,but they never handled the major brand name stuff,only their own.Megablocks does just that,so does Kre-o.I actually have the white Puma from the Halo Megablocks series and the vehicle and minifigs are amazing.
If you like fantasy style stuff or major movie title and comic book stuff(i.e. Star Wars,Indiana Jones,DC Superheroes,etc.)then lego is your thing.But if you want like sentai or videogame style bricks and minifigs,go megablocks and kre-o.
