Titanium Power!

We're taking a look back at a classic figure today in the form of the Titanium Ranger (Light & Sound) figure! But before you check out our images be sure to head over to Morphin Madness and vote for Titanium Ranger today!

The Titanium Ranger is of course the very first US exclusive Power Ranger. He was created exclusively for Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue. The sentai Lightspeed is adapted from, Kyukyu Sentai GoGoV, only featured 5 heroes rather than the trend of 6. So Saban created Titanium Ranger to fill out the team. His original costume appears to be heavily based on the suits of Kousoku Sentai Turbo Ranger.

This figure of the Titanium Ranger is one of the first produced for the character. It features a light & sound gimmick activated by pressing a button on his lower back. A red LED glows in his visor and a speaker built in to the black plays generic blaster effects. It also includes his signature Titanium Laser weapon, which is FULLY transformable from laser to axe mode. He also comes with the trademark V-Lancer weapon of the Lightspeed Rangers and a generic cannon weapon.

The figure is of course limited in articulation. But it's also pretty dated being nearly 14 years old. It has basic shoulder articulation meaning the arms can't do much. The elbows bend at basic right angles abut the wrists can fully rotate. The hips actually can swing out very far wide and pretty far forward & back. The knees bend at 90 degrees. For some odd reason the boots and forearm parts of the gloves have a blue tinge to them. Getting the weapons into Titanium's hands is actually fairly difficult as they aren't soft flexible plastic. The included Titanium Morpher latches onto the wrist pretty well. And the Titanium Laser is a fantastic to scale representation of the role play toy.

If you're in the market for a nice vintage Titanium Ranger figure then this is a pretty good choice. The only better option articulation wise would be the rare Super Legends figure. If you can find this one for a decent price it's a pretty decent stand in. And likely there'll never be an SH Figuart of this character unless Bluefin can pull out a miracle for us.

The fine people at Ranger Stop have the best selection of Power Rangers toys you could ask for. The Titanium Ranger used in this gallery comes courtesy of them actually. So thanks again guys!
