It kinda bugs me that they displayed it holding it's sword the wrong way.
It REALLY bugs me that it's only the Shogun, not Ninja and Tsubasamaru.

Matrixbeast already pointed out number one so I’ll skip that.

Number two: Someone PLEASE ask if Minipla Ninja/Shogun Megazords are compatible with Titanus!

Guess this is the closest we'll ever get to a Legacy release. :(

I want these, but they’re so expensive. I bought legacy Titanus for the asking price of the Mini Pla Titanus.

Why no Pink Shogunzord?

Because it wasn’t pink on the show.

It's a model kit, you can paint it pink. But on Kakuranger where these are from it was white.

The "battleborgs" and Shogunzords,were the Alien ranger colors. Same to the "ninja Megazord" that was actually their powered up form. The Season 3 stuff mixed up a lot of things and reordered it entirely. But if you look at the alien ranger colors/designs, those were the Kakuranger that actually controlled the "zords."

Yeah but when Bandai America imported the DX Ninja Gattai Muteki Shogun from 1994's Ninja Sentai Kakuranger as the Deluxe Shogun Megazord in 1995 for MMPR Season 3, they changed all of the white plastic on the White Kark figure into pink and they gave us the Pink Shogunzord. Why did Bandai America do that anyway?

So they could give Kimberly and Kat their own Shogun Zord while Tommy still piloted the Falcon. I mean in show it was still white, but they made the toy pink to give the pink Ranger a zord. That's pretty much it.

Cause in PR, it was the Pink Ranger's zord. Iirc, had one in show appearance that way too when they used the toy for some shots.

The model kit is for Kaku though, not PR season 3. And since it's a model kit, for the few that do want that, they can paint it to match. Minipla has done that before with things like Gokai Submarine in all black. Or Gokai Green's racer in all black. At least this is white plastic so it'll be easier to paint.

90s BoA was kind of all over the place on weird decisions sometimes.

I think the deal with the Pink/White Shogun Zord is:
It's white in the original Kakuranger footage, re-used Kaku footage for MMPR, and in the show, it's a shared zord between Kimberly/Kat and Tommy. That's why they share the cockpit

It was recoloured Pink in the toyline, to have all the OG Ranger colours there, but since the toys were used to film the Shogun Ultrazord footage, it also shows up there. Basically, the zord flips colours when they summon Titanus.
