It seems like the same figure with extra, but there is a question as to whether the shield and arm wraps are removable or not, if you can take them off to switch to a normal Red Ranger, it's the better package, but if any of those parts are stuck without damage to remove, then you're stuck getting the standard Red Ranger to have the shieldless look. I'm thinking the shield is a pretty tight fit to the body and can't be taken off.
