had seen this in walmart during a toy browse. I collect anything og power rangers (mostly original 90s toys but do make exceptions sometimes like pop figures or those tiny mystery bag figures) i did consider eventually getting it as I didnt have any season 3 stuff. but at a comic convention I went to I got an original yellow bear ninja zord (will now work towards getting the rest of ninja zords. did the same thing for thunder megazord) and bought this toy for $15 (I know not a huge deal but didnt care) it now sits with my larger power ranger toys (White tigerzord, Auric the conqueror which I also got that weekend, said Thunder Megazord and a small megazord (it was the one where the hands shoot out and you can remove the triceratops and sabortooth tiger for a car like toy) and with my new yellow bear zord
I just picked up the least-scuffed Ninjor I could find (Out of 4 I picked the one with the least paint defects) but... man, how disappointing. The sculpt is pretty great, and for all of them to have significant damage (Some of them even have like, massive abrasive scratches as if they were just tossed around) Quality Control and paint application is definitely a problem for Hasbro, corners are being cut, and there seems to be this *Shrug Shoulders* "Good Enough" mentality. It's like with the White Dino Thunder figure, someone had to inspect and approve of that going out to shipment, and it was just... quite bad. I saved my receipt, I'm going to look for a less scuffed figure (Or dare I dream to find one that's completely okay?) and if I find one I'll just return this one. Quite bummed this is even an issue, Bandai made questionable paint "Choices" (Mustard Yellow Gold) but the application was pretty good with clean lines and no issues. I see with most reviews now too, the reviewer will take the product out of the box, inspect it, and be like "Oh..." and like, you can tell a lot of them are disappointed, and that never used to be an issue or something they had to like, dread in unboxings until Hasbro.
