Samurai Toyline stuff I've bought, and some thoughts:
- The core six Rangers, in Mega Mode: In general, for the $6 apiece I've paid for the 4 inch rangers, I have been very happy with them. More articulation than I thought initially, plus the fact that I got an entire team of six rangers + decent accessories for $36 or so made me really damn happy. YES, they are flawed figures. YES, they have "STEROID PROPORTIONS!!11!" But honestly, for Power Rangers fans, we should be used to it by now.
- Xandred: Flawed as all hell, with a very impressive sculpt. Articulation is made useless by the sculpting, but in all honesty I'd rather have him with a mostly uninterrupted sculpt instead of an inaccurate design with a range of motion that doesn't exactly scream Xandred/Doukoku.
- Mooger: See Xandred.
- Shogun Ranger: REALLY impressed by this one, as I thought the giant shoulder armor would kill any poseability whatsoever. But then I look to see that they're actually on balljoints, so they can be moved around out of the way of the shoulder itself. Also, you can combine the Bullzooka (Best weapon name, ever) and the Mega Blade into the Shogun Spear.
- Samurai Megazord: Yes. It's a botched attempt at the actual zords. However, the Megazord itself (Which I got for $12~) is incredibly well proportioned and is honestly worth it if you're going to get...
- Claw Megazord: This guy. THIS GUY. This one was well worth paying retail on. Giant fucking lobster mode, a great adaptation of his gimmicks... generally the whole package is fantastic. Until you get to his integration with...
- Octozord: Saw this at Walmart with the intention to sell it to a bro who ended up finding one the day I found it, I kinda regretted this purchase. His integration with Claw Megazord is ALMOST perfect, except his hilt cannot be truly formed due to the size of the Claw Megazord's fist. He's still a really great zord, with tons of Zord Builder options.

Overall: I'm very happy with this line, and I'm probably going to end up going full-on into the Megaforce toyline.
