checked this channel out because of a nostalgia trip and decided to check your twitter, its incredible to me that youre still making videos like 6 years later
Thanks to TheSeventhForce for letting me finally find that out. I should’ve known about it much sooner, considering I’m a big Johnny Yong Bosch fanboy.
On the Dino Charge Morpher there is a black button on both sides of the toy when the mouth is opened push them down and it should release the Dino Charger
Those Auto-Morphins are pretty beat up, but the nice thing about those is that they’re mostly held together with screws and there’s no shortage of donors out there. There’s nothing wrong with yours that isn’t replaceable or repaintable (if you want to go that route), though Billy would require a whole new leg assembly and they both could use a bit of retrobrighting.
I think the craziest part about Lost Galaxy having the highest ratings in the series, is that the Japanese dub actually had better ratings than Gingaman. Yes. Power Rangers used to get dubbed into Japanese. I always found it hilarious when toys based off TV shows used to make the toy way more jacked than the character its supposed to represent. Like, I had a couple of the Star Trek Next Generation toys as a kid, and Riker was way more yoked than Jonathan Frakkes was supposed to be. Also, huge shoutout to the TNG comics, where Picard has more in common with a JoJo protagonist than Patrick Stewart.
For a small clarification, the reason of the change in toys, is because in japan and in general all around the world, it was quite cheap and easy to get diecast on everything, thats why a lot of older mechs and changers got it, and specially in PR's case, I cant remember in which show it started, I think that maybe Disney Era, but for a while after Mighty Morphin, they weren't only using Sentai's footage, they were also using Sentai's toys, one to one, that's why they sometimes included gimmicks that didn't exist in PR like how the Mighty Morphin morpher never was used as an actual belt buckle pre transformation but the toy still had a way to do it, and like in the Lost Galaxy morpher where in the Sentai they used the wheel to choose their ranger colors but in PR they just pressed the buttons. TLDR: PR's high quality toys for a while were just because they were the bandai of japan toys with some sticker changes or slight tweaks, specifically talking about Morphers and Mechs, because one big thing Bandai of America that you did mention, was a lot of liberty with the toys to make all the toy exclusive weapons and vehicles they wanted
RPM is when they started using their own molds instead of repackaging the Sentai molds Just look at the American RPM Megazord and the Samurai Megazord toys compared to the Japanese Engine-Oh and Shinken-Oh toys
When it came to power rangers toys the zords were the only PR toys that I wanted although I did have other PR toys than just the zords. I never had the villain toys probably because they were hard too find. Back in the day the main five zords would always be in a box together, now no more than 2 zords will be packaged together. The only power rangers toys I had were a remote control version the MMPR megazord ( which I lowkey hated because I wanted the individual zords that you could put together), MMPR red ranger gloves that mad sounds when you pressed the buttons, MMPR red and black ranger walkie talkies,the helmet flip toys, the ninjetti toys of Rocky, Adam, & Billy. the shogun zords. Didn't have any Zeo, Turbo and/or Space toys. The Last power ranger toys I had was a remote control version of the galaxy megazord ( which I again lowkey hated because the individual zords are better imo), the magna defender's Torozord which came with a magna defender figure, and Leo's Red capsular cycle which came with a red galaxy ranger figure.
The anecdote about wearing the Morpher casually around the house was so cute and charming to hear. Reminds me of wearing my Duel Disk while walking down the street or going in the gas station as a kid, haha.
I recently found your channel again after years of not watching because of your weird world of power ranger videos I remember watching your videos like 7 years ago glad to see your still making great content
Might as well highlight what little i still have: - The Dino Thunder Blaster that turns to a sword. Being one of my top seasons having this thing was a blast. - The Quantum Ranger's Quantum Defender. Having had VHS of that debut episode and watching it many times made him my favorite and I'm so glad I saw it at a thrift shop as a kid! As for lost items: - The Wild Force mini spheres with the animals inside. I just had em for years and just disappeared one day. They were so adorable so that one hurt to suck
On the topic of toys, my absolute favorite toy growing up was the navy blue ninja storm turtle mace toy. So much so i actually wore the paint off some of its components playing with it.
I had those In Space Figures as a kid, but I lost Cassie, Ashley, and Andros for that matter. But I was able to save the latter's leg to use as a replacement for T.J. Carlos is the only one still mostly intact. I also had that Torozord as a kid, and it worked as you speculated.
Dinocharge was genuinely good. It was the first series I completely got into. My son was approaching the age I was when MMPR came out and this new season was Dinosaurs! It was a sign that we should watch it together. The cast is great and actually educated themselves on their Sentai, watching it together while in New Zealand filming the show. There were several sentai references throughout the series as well.
I’ve got the Gokaiger morpher and a few Ranger Keys, it’s great! Thank you for your love of Gokaiger, it was my first Sentai and it’s a shame it was badly adapted.
Great video. I had toys from Dino Thunder to Jungle Fury as a kid. I had a mini superzeo Megazord and a Super train Megazord too. Sadly I don't have them anyone. This made me feel so nostalgic
Growing up the one toy my mom never let me get was a megazord. Too expensive I suppose. But I still have my MMPR, Zeo, Space and Dino Thunder Morphers. Two things I always wanted and never got was a Quasar Saber and Lost Galaxy morpher. Still looking for those. I do remember the red lost Galaxy ranger toy came out before the show did and it had a button to let him talk. It had Andros’ voice saying let’s rocket. Made me think Andros was the red lost Galaxy ranger.
I'm a couple years older than you by the sounds of this, but I had so many of these exact toys as a kid and played the shit out of them (never broke them though, I was really protective of my toys as a kid, plus I thought it would piss my mom off). I sold a lot of my toys when I was 12 to help pay for a Nintendo DS and Pokemon Diamond. Super glad to see the Zack and Billy flippers (I had both too), and recently just came across Jason at a vintage toy shop in amazing condition for $5. Sorry for the rant but these toys were literally my childhood too, ad I'm glad you have been to kep them and still continue the great memories you had!
I had the balck mmpr ranger figure with metallic armor, a red ranger that was like twice as tall, the blue and green rangers where their heads flipped to the helmet, the ninja megazord, the red space ranger, the space megazord, and the space morpher and the red dragon thunderzord as a child. Now i only have the toys r us exclusive mmprnlegacy norpher with die cast coins sitting in its original packaging
i was definately a morpher kid, i never really saw the point of action figures and always gravitated towards the morphers and megazords, cause those were actually sick. P.S: the japanese version of the dino charge morpher is actually ginormous and a huge reccomendation on my part
I had a similar Power Force bootleg set with a Power Force Yellow with like Semi-translucent Green Plastic Accessories. Completely forgot about it until seeing the section in your video! Biggest difference was my Yellow had semi-transparent parts and full articulation.
There was a Mc Donald's Morpher toy which I still have that includes the falcon coin for Tommy from the Power Rangers movie. It's made out of plastic and it has three double sided coins that each side has one of the morphing chips for each ranger and doesn't have any sound effects.
I actually have the light blue and pink Rangers from that power force set. I never really played with them too much as a kid because of how fragile they felt, I think I actually still have them sitting around somewhere.
yeah the super megaforce keys were smaller but they had one advantage and that was they auto flipped. with the lost galaxy morpher, when you turn the dial to the ranger you want and press the bottom button, it would make a roar sound based on that ranger's animal.
Dino Charge IS good. They rush some character stuff because there are so many Rangers, but it's the best of the "Season 2 is Super" era. Toy-wise, I had all six MMPR head-flippers (they came with weapons so you could make the Power Blaster or invent new combo weapons like replacing the sword with the Dragon Dagger, making a Lance Blaster, giving Kimberly a melee bow (with the daggers and Lance pieces attached), etc. I also had the full Thunderzord set (Tigerzord came with a zord-scale White Ranger), the Shogun Megazord, and Falconzord. For Zeo, I had a couple of action figure-sized Megazords. Also AF's of Zedd, a few Rita-era monsters, and that cobra monster that never appeared in the show.
I remember having the blue mighty morphin flip head figure. Along w/an unmorphed Trini figure that was unposeable. The only zeo figure I had was the green one, though I wanted blue
I think the spinning axe was actually for In Space TJ because I remember having that axe and figure. Lol. Unless they just kept reselling the axe for every blue ranger.
Man that was the pinnacle of my childhood at that point. I remember that when I was a kid my mom would buy me nearly every megazoid from each season at that point but the only ones I didn't get at the time being the mighty morphin ones, the season 2 Thunder zords along with the tiger zord, None of the first Zeo megazords aside from the super one and Dino Thunder megazords. However I was able to get a good chunk of the megazords from in space a little bit of lost Galaxy the vast majority of light speed rescue and the vast majority of time force and wild force. I especially was able to get some of the morphers from each season with my favorite one being the in space and wait I remember that I even got the rescue megazord from Turbo because I didn't get the original Turbo megazord. Still wish that I was able to get at least the morpher from mighty morphin but at least I was able to get some of the more first. Great show case of your power ranger stuff!
I thought that the Bandai toys from Japan were superior to the ones released in America in the later years, especially the Ranger Keys from the series Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger, which were larger in scale compared to the keys from Power Rangers Super Mega Force.....and since the Super Sentai Series ran for longer than Power Rangers (1975 to be more precise), you had more characters to collect.
If you want a cool model of the Megazord, you can find the model kit from Flame Toys. I built it recently and it was a fun and cool build. And yes, you have to build it yourself with modeling tools, but its a simple build compared to like big gundam model kits.
I had a green motorcycle from the ninja storm series they had side panels that turned into wings so you could fly (It looked like the oppressor mk1 from gta)
I unfortunately got rid of many of my Power Rangers toys many years ago, but my time span was Mystic Force, Operation Overdrive, and a little bit of Jungle Fury. Those were the toys I had.
i really need an SPD and Power Rangers Samurai video now. but staying on topic i also had a bunch of these same toys that i unfortunately lost in an event beyond my control
Man I remember having a super megaforce blue ninja steel red and Dino super charge red figures with a 2017 morpher I got rid of them 4 years ago I kinda regret it but hey I’m rebuilding my collection now I got Dino thunder on gba for my birthday yesterday
I remember having the time force swords too, I also have vague memories of having a titanium ranger morphed and a time force morpher. I think I had a wild force morpher
So looks like that Yellow Ninja Storm Ranger is a transforming figure that could turn into a dog thing and a gun? Some of these toy exclusive ideas a crazy.
I have a few of the toys in this video, namely the MMPR Auto Morphin Zach, the Dino Thunder figures and the In Space Yellow figure I was gonna get the Mobilates from Gokaiger, but I bought a Kakashi figure instead
❤❤ absolutely awesome video Conner. You make great videos dude. I played with my collection hard too. Mine are mostly just paint scratched but I had all 7 head flip figures do not feel bad about the damage. Toys are meant to be played with and displayed proudly, I never subscribed to "never remove from box "
So the white discoloration on the plastic on the Mega winger is more than likely sun discoloration. A lot of the time when white plastics get exposed to slot of sunlight over extended periods of time causing it to turn that gross yellow color. I have a few toys from my childhood that happened too, some old Hess trucks even a Wii mote.
The thing that i always find weird with PR toys, especially the ranger figure, is they're really buff, like manly buff, even the female one. It also happened on the 90's comics at that time
Yeah, the original morphers were kind of dogshit. Bandai couldn’t even bother to get the stickers right (the text is all wrong and they somehow managed to flip them upside-down). Until the Legacy Morphers, though, it was all that we had. From the mid-late 2000s until the Legacy Morpher’s release, they were commanding as much as $100 each in pre-COVID money (and that’s WITHOUT the Blade Blasters they were originally sold with). I just wanted ONE, maybe a second one to paint gold (only Japan got one like that from the factory), and some assholes on Rangerboard were hoarding six or more. Their reasoning? They “needed” them so that they could display one with each coin. Needless to say, the rest of us were experiencing some sweet, sweet schadenfreude when the vastly superior Legacy Morpher was announced and their little investments became practically worthless overnight. 🤣
Unfortunately the value of all versions of Power Morphers keep going up. Seems everyone eventually had the same idea of having several to display all their coins or to customize battle damaged ones or to use them for cosplay.
Honestly, don't fret over wear and tear. I purchased a Pokemon figure of Shiftry, evolution of Seedot and Nuzleaf. It lacked an arm. That one-arm tree mon is awesome to keep. ANYWAYS, toys are great memorabilia. To relate with my visit to Mexico long ago, beyond spicy candy and goat milk lollipops, wooden toys are interesting. There was the tie&string yo-yo, dolls, puzzles and slingshots. Then there was the majestic anime mechas and cars. Crazy that second-hand market makes memories which aren't worn or teared.
I have all the zords from the Zordon era (minus the delta megaship). Most of it is in great condition, some weapons/accessories are missing. Original megazord and dragonzord with Japanese stickers. I'd part with it all for no less than $5000.
24:00 is it just me of does the chest look like the same design for kamen rider ryuki? (Looks like it was based off those old kamen rider toys where you could snap pieces on them)
That mmpr green ranger morpher is actually the bandai legacy collection version not hasbro lighting collection so you actually initially had it right in the video
Japan did them for Gingaman, Kakuranger and Megaranger, and there's unlicensed figures for Dairanger Here, we only got MMPR, Zeo, Turbo, Lost Galaxy, Time Force, Wild Force, SPD, Samurai and the 2017 movie. We never got Alien Rangers and In Space (Kakuranger and Megaranger)
