It's a cool toy, but I skipped it largely because I felt bad leaving the Dolphin out of the final combo entirely, and thought the Thunderstorm/Gouraisenpujinn combo had more cohesive colors and a slightly clearer, more restrained vision.
Considering the combination is such a central part of the figures I'd much rather get the combination parts than the extra weaponry if I had to choose. Shame the dolphin wasn't integrated into that final combination though.
I love how you talk about strong combinations as a design choice, as opposed to an afterthought as they currently feel really looking forward to a potential review of the Delta Mega ZAP, whenever the hell they decide to release it 😭
Her man, really loved your series of megazord review videos. will you be doing any more or did your collection end here? would love to see more series done with your brilliant take on them and deep dive videos (way better and more informative than most others out there)
I never paid much attention to this line as by the time this series came out I had already "grown out of it" but after watching this video I realize how good this series of zords are. They all look fantastic and that final combination looks so good and it's so well done. Doesn't look like a bunch of things stuff together but like an actually well thought out design. Would love to get some of these.
Very well said! I think that's what I love about them, ~with the exception of the dolphin~ it's all so thoughtfully designed to hit an end goal. It's a genuinely impressive build up where the final megazord is such a surprise compared to the start point.
@@powerrangertube 3:12 - Ironic, as both Changeman and Maskman would later be adapted into @Power Rangers Official Super Megaforce as New Powers, The Changemen as The Lightning Rangers, also known as The Power Of The Dragon, and The Maskmen as The Prism Rangers, also seen and expanded upon, like The Fivemen (Supersonic Rangers), and The Core Five Dairangers (Squadron Rangers), in the comics.
I would have loved being able to collect the power sphere animals separately maybe being sold with the associated power discs. The Bandai America team could have played up the collect them all craze in the early 2000s
Did you know the are hidden clip connectors in the crimson insectizord? Those are there for better stabilize the connection for the lion and crimson insectizord for both thunder storm and hurricane megazord combinations. They're located in the crimson insectizord head, that you need to flip out.
Predazord had 3, Dino Stegazord had 3, Flashpoint had 2, Rhino Steel had 3, Mach megazord had 3 technically 4, Claw armor megazord had a solid 3 technically 4 but that was just when the gigazord added the shark zord, Gosei ground had 2 (3 in Goseiger), Wrecker zord had 3 and Bull rider megazord had 3

I don’t know why you keep complimenting the combinations they’re all both impractical as toys and lazy uninspired designs. I loathe any combination that is simply attaching a whole robot to another in place of it’s limb, or haphazardly across the shoulders, hanging there precariously. More so even when a robot is simply slapped onto the front, making the thing as deep as it is wide.
Creating combining robots that stay within a budget the larger company allocates is a lot harder than you'd think. In no aspect for the longest time would Power Rangers be allocated a lot of budget. So in turn a lot of the toys would suffer from that. Besides, most of the combinations were fairly interesting up to this point for this series. The Samurai is more like a nice upgrade to what's the main centerpiece, being the Lightning Storm Megazord and the three separate Megazords that make up that big final combination as well as some having alternate forms too. Plus the arm and over-the-shoulder modes in this case are more like bonuses in how you can combine them, as the primary one is turning it into a new torso and weapon for the full combo. Also if you think this is "lazy" you should see the Generation 1 or Combiner Wars Combiner figures from Transformers.
