Armored Mighty Morphin' Red Ranger Gallery
 

One of the 20th Anniversary items snuck into the Power Rangers Megaforce toy line is the Armored Mighty Morphin' Red Ranger, part of the 'Armored Might' sub line. The figure stands approximately 6 inches tall, has 31 points of articulation, and comes with power sword, blade blaster, dragon dagger, dragon armor shield and arm bands, two sets of hands, and card P-072 from the action card game.

With the S.H. Figuarts TyrannoRanger release only six months away, is this figure worth hunting down and purchasing at all?

His head looks so tiny compared to that crazy chunky body :lol

Yeah his proportions look weird as all hell.

I'll give it credit,I thought it was gonna be as articulated as the 3 3/4 inch figures.It looks like it's gonna be as articulated as the 6 inch Thundercats were and I really liked those figures.Odd proportions and over musculature aside,it looks to be a pretty good figure.One thing it does have over the Figuarts release is removable Dragon Armor.

If I wasn't aware of Figuarts,I'd possibly consider picking this up.Sadly,I can only have one and I prefer human proportions,multiple accessory variations and hands.

... I like him =/ I dont know I feel like he fits a certain power ranger vibe. But at the same time I did get this and preordered the figuart

You're right. This makes a good figure without the Figuart, but I'd say the Figuart comes first too. I do like how playable he is, though, with all those accessories.

Anyone remember Bandai of America's Super Legends Extreme figures? I thought those looked better proportion-wise:

I just got mine today, it's actually less articulated than the Thundercats. They share the basic points of articulation but unlike the Thundercats 6" figures, this figure is probably 6.5" scale in actuality, and it does not have double jointed elbows/knees, instead it has single joints. Also the ankles do not tilt from side to side.

Most importantly, the figure feels more rubbery than a Thundercats figure, especially at the elbow joints.

Overall I like it but I am not a big fan of how the dragon shield connects, it's not very secure. Reminds me of the auto-morphing 5" Green Ranger from the 90's and how its shield always came off. Though this one is not as bad, the way it connects is similar.

I would have preferred a shield sculpted as 1 piece rather than 2 halves. I also wish the bicep rings were more secure, like if they could peg into place.

Not a bad figure but not as good as I was hoping for. For what you get, you do get a good bang for your buck. Good for those who want a very durable, fully articulated figure to pick up and handle with reckless abandon. You can give this to a kid but I doubt that the armor will stay on. I think the armor may actually work better on the Goseigers than on the MMPR Red Ranger.

If you want more articulation and a more screen-accurate sculpt, save up for the Figuarts.

It's Power Rangers designed by Rob Liefeld!

Is it me, or did Bandai model this figure after Scott Steiner? Talk about "Genetic Freak"!

After seeing the Figuarts TyrannoRanger, it further solidifies my disdain for the "muscle bound" look for heroes that doesn't have them.

Excite, Please!

I bet somebody might buy this and the Figuarts, still it looks pretty cool despite it looking like the Red Ranger been hitting both the gym and juicing at the same time.

I've actually thought about buying it just to last me until the Figuarts comes out. Then I realized it would be a waste of my money to do so, even if I could do a comic out of it.

This isn't such a terrible figure for the $16 - $20 price point. It has quite a bit of articulation and a well balanced set of accessories. The 'roid rage look can be off putting., but it's almost become a staple of the power rangers toyline.

Honestly though, I just got this figure to display with the Lord Zedd figure I'm making :lol

It doesn't look too bad, considering it probably costs half the price of the Figuarts version. Plus if you want the dragon armour for the Figuart, you're gonna have to buy a separate figure and most likely as an exclusive, making this thing a fraction of the cost.

I personally don't really care for it, but I can see why you would be, if you're on a budget.

I might buy this... if I see it on clearance, after I get the figuarts

NOt worth getting for a couple of reasons,

the screws all over the back but really, the reason not to would be the ridiculously over ripped look, no Power Ranger ever looked like that and I don't think it sends a good message to children saying that in order to be a hero you have to be built like Beefcake.

Not sure if there's really a point in having these figures now that we got Figuarts, to be honest.

The roided-out look actually isn't so bad in these pictures. I'm actually considering it, but it totally depends on how it looks in person. If it's not that bad, then $20 is a lot easier to swallow than the very unappealing prospect of paying $45 for a Figuart of a character that I really don't care for very much.

You know I hate the way it looks but it would fix the whole problem if some one cast a head that fit the body, sure it would still too muscled up but it could always be some kind of super jazzed up version of the character, he could be over 9,000.

Huh..I guess he does Lift.

Actually I was thinking, if the made a in Space helmet and a backpack, they could make a pretty nice iS Red Battelizer figure

Holy shit I wished for it and it came true.

-Edit
Oh nevermind, I thought it was the movie "Armored" forms. Oh well.

LOL

It's not a bad figure but it could've been better, especially with less softer plastic...specifically on limbs such as the elbows.
