I still like it more than that animatronic crap they used on SPD.

I thought they both had their merits. I personally prefer the fur suits they used in Dekaranger, but the effort they went to make the characters more "alien" in SPD was very cool and suited the show much more than the Japanese costumes would have.

They could probably justify an entirely separate release for Doggie unmorphed.

And I think I'd like SPD's Doggie head more if it wasn't as scaly.

I can't see how considering the animatronic crap at least looked professional and good quality and had the sense to not have a big exposed zipper on the back of the head. Plus it could do more than just open it's mouth.

Doggie in SPD looked like genuine effort went into it and manged to look more like a dog than that mangled sock puppet from the Sentai.

Also not helping is that, for about 10-15 episodes in Dekaranger, Doggie's mouth did not come anywhere close to syncing up, if it even moved at all.

While I appreciate them trying to make the costume more functional, at the end of the day it's a big alien dog man. I don't need it to work well, just look good. And the original Dekaranger version looked great.

You see, though, that's the thing: it didn't. It looked cheap and ridiculous and not in any way convincing, and it baffles me that anyone would think it looks better than SPD Doggie.

Functionality has little to do with it. Dekaranger's looked like it was made out of foam and old cloth doodle on with markers. SPD' looked actually alien and has texture and proportion.

I'm not saying you can't like Dekaranger Doggie, but objectively saying it looked better than the SPD costume is just wrong.

Nobody brought up objectivity until you did, Split Lip. Maybe ease off the discussion of whose opinion of "better dog alien costume" is right before this ends up a needless mess?

On that note.

Didn't the Ptera Ranger news say she comes with an exclusive asian market peice? Could this be the peice that slips all their weapons together?
