I was surprised to see that he has both wrist and "boot" articulation, but for $20, he should have also had bicep and waist swivels. I'd say only buy him if you must have a Zedd in your collection or if you can get him for like $12. The detail is very nice though, but it seems like Bandai stopped caring about his show accuracy once they got to his upper legs as from the knees down, he is not that accurate. The silver discs on his sides of the knees are too small and they did not bother painting the middle portions of his feet, so instead, it looks like he has silver shoes on. Kind of lazy, honestly. Overall, I'll give him a 3 as he is probably the best Zedd toy to come out, but he is really really small. At least he slightly scales with Rita/Bandora:

Yeah, I saw the figures as well at my local TRU and bought Zedd and Armored Red (oh, a rhyme).

They are definitely NOT $20 figures. I've was able to get a few of the Zyuranger/MMPR Figuarts for around $20 and that made sense to me. These Legacy figures...they should have had a bit more articulation and extras to be $20, and maybe a longer staff for Zedd. Otherwise, they should be $10 at the most.

Armored Red I bought really out of curiosity to see how he compares to the regular Red Ranger released in the Super Megaforce line. It seems the Armored Red Ranger's head sculpt is a bit better detailed than regular Red. Regular Red seems to have a softer look. It's the same sculpt, but the details aren't as well defined than on Armored Red.

Also the Power Sword is different. I thought maybe they'd just painted the Power Sword the regular Red came with for Armored Red, but it's an all new sculpt with more detailing, including being able to see the Tyrannosaurus coin emblem on the sword...kinda. Like his morpher, it looks more like a large-mouth bass than a T-Rex.

I am curious to see how the Legacy Power Blaster will look, but given you can see the pegs on Pink Ranger's bow for where everything attaches on her figure picture on the back of the box, I'd guess it'll work much like the combined weapons did for the classic MMPR head flipper figures.
