I have to know what the story is behind these is. I get they are a MMPR/Zyuranger bootlegs but damn that 2nd one looks kinda awesome.

Top one looks like a cheap bootleg.
Bottom one looks like a 3rd Party company that really loved the look of the first bootleg :lol

I have no idea wat it is, but I wants it. The second one that is.

Edit: Upon further inspection I realize that the four that make up the limbs are meant to represent the four Saint Beast of the Heavens. Genbu the Turtle/Snake of the North, Byakko the White Tiger of the West, Suzaku the Phoenix of the South, and Seiryuu the Dragon of the East. As for what the fifth one onfthe bottom left of the first pic is is a question to me. I"m assuming it's a Kirin?

I was thinking that Same thing but i doubt it's Four Symbols because the colors are off the Leg should be blue and the arms black but I do think it is Inspired by Chinese myth much like Dairanger

Yeah, the colors for Seiryuu and Genbu are horribly off. Left leg (Seiryuu) should've been blue while the Arms (Genbu) should've been completely green or black. Only justification for the blue/green combo on the one is.....Believe it or not, Genbu is related to ice.... He's the Saint Beast of the North, NOrth as in Mountains. And mountains are cold and have ice. Only justification I can come up with.
Other than what you said, that is. Simple inspiration.

Part of me wants to say that this was made back when Zyuranger was running and Dairanger was announced to try and get the jump on show in terms of bootlegs. However both figures when I find them are under 50 bucks on ebay and both have this product description most of the time:

It is from a sentai inspired Chinese animated/CGI series:

That's so shameless that it's actually amazing.

The one on the bottom actually has elbows.

That awkward moment when the Chinese KO has better articulation than your overpriced "collectors" item.

Just a bootleg, nothing to see here folks.
