1/6 - ThreeZero Mighty Morphin Power Rangers

[Garlador]

Tried to watch it even though some of the original cast members were absent, but I couldn’t finish it. The acting was so bad that I found it unbearable. Granted, MMPR was never known for stellar acting, but there used to be youthful energy and this special just felt unmotivated. But that's just me and I can see why many people liked it.

I think a lot of that is nostalgia. I rewatched the original seasons recently and the acting can be ROUGH. Enjoyable, but definitely amateur hour a lot of the time. That’s honestly part of its charm to me.

Ironically, many longtime fans felt the Once & Always special had some of the best performances from the older cast (particularly Walter).

Though if you’re looking for a more mature take on the brand, the BOOM! Studios comics are where you’ll find actual character development and nuance.

I don’t have the same nostalgic connection since I stopped following after season 2. I only watched the 1995 movie in theatres as a kid and remember not enjoying it because I didn’t approve of the new cast. Could have lived with a new yellow or blue ranger but Jason was the leader and irreplaceable in my mind so that ruined the series for me early on.

Obviously, can’t go back in time, but that’s part of what I enjoyed about Jason’s return in Zeo, and how he interacted with the new team and Rocky in particular (who had felt inferior next to him).

Well of course Rocky felt inferior next to Jason; just look at that handsome hunk of meat!

God only knows what that means

I keep forgetting about the Putties, but figures are winding up in collector hands now.

Looks solid, though I’d really only need them as minions flanking a bigger villain like Goldar or Lord Zedd.

 

[Chopper Face]

I ordered two of these from GunDamit for £180. Absolute bargain- but justified considering how obscenely basic Putties are.

They requested full payment a while back and then asked if I wanted to cancel since there was now going to be an indefinite delay.
Good to see at least one collector has received a production piece.

SooSoo, again, freaking killed this. I got the invoice about a week ago and it looks great, gonna probably pay it off right now.

 

[Kal-El_25]

I just received the green ranger (Matt Cook version) today. My son is in love with his gift.

 

[Raleig.h]

Finally got Dino White in today, the greatest Ranger design of all time imo, so Fing happy to have these 2, I really hope we get the entire team.

I added the ankle extenders to black, as both the sentai actor and JDF were 6 foot. Couldn’t find how tall the Trent actor is, but the sentai is 5’8” which puts white at accurate size. The ankle extenders don’t work on white anyway, the print ends too early and the boots look massive.

Review on the Green Ranger Chaos Energy (Matt Cook):


Regular version:

What is taking so long with the main 5-pack of ThreeZero ZEO Rangers?
Kind of surprised that they haven't been released yet.

I’ve noticed as well. They already showed off Turbo, but Zeo was ages ago.

I should have gotten the White Ranger when it was available again. Only have the Green but am thinking about getting all the Tommy variants.

I'm not shy about my love for Tommy in all his Ranger forms. Ideally, I'd have every Ranger they're making as I love nearly all of them,, but I lack the funds and space for them all, so my display is very much going to be "Oops! All Tommys!" with every major form he took on.

 

[Raleig.h]

Boundaries are important to have especially with PR, if you were to get every ToysEra, 3Z, and SooSoo Ranger that’s been released so far, you’re looking at easily 40 figures alone. That’s not including what’s been teased and the potential for what we can see even past that point.

I’m sticking with completing Ninja Storm and Dino . Also grabbing Lost Galaxy Red to go with MMPR Green as my 2 fav rangers. After that I think I’m done with the line. Only temptation would be Andros, and some villains.

Grabbed a pic of the 2 Dino Thunder guys with MMPR Green, they work really well together.

 

[Mike86]

I’m at least going to get the Zeo Red Ranger because I think it’s cool. I know it’s not Tommy but might get Zeo Gold too.

Dino Thunder White looks amazing. Big fan
