IT'S MORPHIN TIME - DRAGONZORD!

Easily one of the most popular Power Rangers of all time is the original Green Ranger. That being said, he's a highly sought after figure by many collectors and by casual fans (and I guess the kids too). And while you can purchase a number of Green Ranger products at your local Toys'R'US stores, we wanted to give this guy here a spin from the 5" toyline of Power Rangers Super Megaforce.

Right off the bat - the figure is beautiful. The amount of detail in the morpher, the shield, the helmet, it's pretty damn impressive. The figure comes with his Dragon Dagger, and the amount of detail that went in to that piece of soft, rubbery plastic is incredible!

The toy itself is actually in pretty good shape - my figure doesn't have too much mold degredation (the legs are a little loose but nothing in comparison to the Red Zeo Ranger's legs), with stiff joints across the board. Now, I have yet to pick up the Legacy Green Ranger from Toys'R'Us to do a comparison shot but rest assured I will in time.

THE GOOD

• The Dragon Dagger and the Morpher detailing is awesome
• Tight joints, tight figure, full of awesome
• Helmet detailing is great

THE BAD

• Soft rubbery plastic for a Dragon Dagger means future warping
• A chest shield on top of the awkward back angle means balancing is time consuming
• No way to accurately pose the figure to showcase playing the Dragon Dagger flute unless you do some trick photography

THE FINAL VERDICT

If you can't afford to spend the after-market prices right now for a S.H. Figuarts Mighty Morphin Green Ranger or S.H. Figuarts Dragon Ranger, this is a much cheaper alternative. But in the same breath, you get what you pay for either way (ie: the S.H. Figuart is amazing in nearly every aspect and thus costs more). We recommend this purchase! Which is a better buy - this or the Legacy Green Ranger figure? We'll have that gallery for you coming soon!
