Having not seen Jetman yet, I decided to look up Jet Garuda. Looking at him from the front is a completely different kind of experience than looking at his side profile. It's like someone completely flattened his torso :lol
You weren't kidding x3

I swear to you with three hours on a Sunday, a couple old packing boxes, and magic marker, you could make that damn suit.

Wait until you get to the episodes that end on a sad note. The end theme can ruin the moment.

I've heard the guy in charge of actually making the suit was changed after Jatman and the new guy wanted to scuplt everything rather than paint. Take that with a grain of salt as it's only something I've heard in passing.

Eitherway, Zyuranger is awesome. I might even like it more than Jetman overall.

Is it cosplay time? :p


Speaking of Zyuranger, I'm very close to finishing Zyuranger. I've also been watching season one of MMPR, but keeping behind Zyuranger (by 5-10 episodes). I will never unsee the sloppy editing. All of those Japanese children ruining shots. :lol

Zyuranger was definitely a huge shift for sentai. Costume and design wise it's the beginning of a new era for the franchise. And it's incredibly evident when you look at all of the suit designs.

And that is exactly why Saban pick it instead of Jetman to turn into Power Rangers.

The fantasy-based story is also a really big shift from the more hard sci-fi nature of most of the earlier shows.

Really? They had molded helmets and Daimonds everywhere. Jetman's suits designs were much better looking, in my opinion. More detail, added more to the motif. Mech designs though go to Zyuranger. But suit-wise? No, it's Jetman.

No I mean the overall designs for all the suits. Rangers/mecha/monsters, superior stuff all around. Yes Jetman had awesome ranger suits but Zyuranger sort of set a new standard for sentai design. The mecha most certainly did, Daizyujin and Dragon Caesar are ridiculously detailed and intricate compared to jet Icarus, Garuda, and Tetra-boy.

I do believe you mean the quality of the suits rather than the designs themselves.


PS For the record, I have a lot of great things to say about Jetman, but the Rangers suit designs are not among them. Not awful, but far from great and very much not as good as Zyuranger's design.

Meh. I'll take Jetman anyday over Zyu-suits.
