Usually I have some snappy one-liner to throw at the start of a gallery and review but this time I don't. Puzzler! He likes ... puzzles! Aren't you puzzled by his puzzling Puzzler name?

In the latest wave of Power Rangers Dino Charge 5" figures hitting stores now we have some new villains included based on popular demand by fans to Bandai America, who have listened and thus released some villain figures. The first figure we'll be looking at is none other than Puzzler!

The Figure
The thing that should strike you immediately about this figure is the incredible amount of detail that went in to the sculpting of the mold. It is a BEAUTIFUL looking figure. The biggest downside is the articulation - as in, bendable knees, legs that can move forward and backward, and two arms that can move up or down (to a point). And that's it. Six points of articulation. It's like a large version of Star Wars The Force Awakens 3.75 figures with one bonus piece of articulation.

The Accessory
You get a flag on a pole that says "GOAL" on it. The flag is sculpted to look like it is waving in the wind. At the very least they look to have painted the flag purple while leaving the stick the stock yellow plastic color.

This one is quick and easy.

The Good!

• The detail and sculpting is beautiful
• I love villain figures - and thus I love Puzzler

The Bad!

• 6 points of limited articulation really hurts this figure
• The flag pole can't sit in his hand, it just falls through, so he can't "hold" it as much as he "rests it on the ground"

The Conclusion!
If you're interested in collecting villain figures then this is an obvious pick up when you find him (if you find him!). If you're a casual collector or you are on the fence, I suggest passing on this guy. The fans cried out for villain figures, and now we're getting villain figures, and if Puzzler is going to be the standard going forward, I'd rather go back to not having any villain figures at all. In 2015 we need more than 6 points of LIMITED articulation on a figure. This is an easy pass unless you're specifically wanting villain figures.
