I knew about the grey belt fiasco, the lack of paint on some of the morphers, the build-a-figures no one asked for, and ensuing lack of weapons.

Red Ranger: Google the Legacy Red Ranger and the Figuarts Red ranger. As said you will see they pinched his head. It's like they thought it was supposed to be shaped like a Trex as well. There is no reason this had to happen. Before the fold mold is made, someone could have easily seen this shape was incorrect.

It shows Bandai didn't care.

Shoulders - White Ranger has the best arms but as said the Legacy MMPR arms were based on the Ninjastorm arms. It makes them look weird.

Scale : Personally I don't have an issue with this. I guess if you collect other figures it might stand out.

Body Sculpt: Good lord this is an embarrassment. Now I prefer general male sculpt in comparison to the figuarts versions. I think they should have nixed the 6 picks and some other defined muscle. No reason to have them. Not the end of the world though.

The female molds I think are sexist designs that now with the sexual harassment claims further shows the nonsense. It's embarrassing that someone designed these. It's embarrassing that someone approved them. There is no reason for the design of that chest. The female rangers on the show were not depicted like that at all. I don't remember Trini/Aisha/Kimberly and many others looking like their ranger suits were painted on. Even the women who were busty when they wore the American version of the suits still didn't come off as such.

Then the arms and legs just fail to support the figure. Hard to hold weapons and barely able to stand.


The figuarts figures got the majority of this right. Why couldn't BOA just copy?
