Dig Doug Reviews Power Rangers Super Legends' Green Ranger Chaser Figure


Today, I was lucky enough to get my hands on one of only 20,000 MMPR Green Ranger chaser figures, and for only seven dollars! Since this is my first toy review, I'm not sure how well this'll go, but let's start by taking a look at the packaging:
To anyone that's ever bought any toys from the original MMPR line, this style of packaging should look very familiar. I got a great sense of nostalgia seeing the original logo on top of the old-fashioned green background. Although, this is just the case with the front.

On the back, we see pictures of both the Green Ranger and Lord Zedd, the two chaser figures for the Spring '08 line (the Fall '08 line will consist of the MMPR White Ranger and the Zeo Gold Ranger), as well as a some of the other 5 inch Jungle Fury figures.Now, the fun part!





I don't think I've ever seen a more articulated Power Ranger figure than the one you're looking at right now (then again, this is the first PR figure I've bought since Zeo ended). With 13 different points of articulation, you can put this guy in many cool poses. Check this out:

Awesome, huh?

Some more things I definitely like about this figure is that, unlike the original head-flip figure I had of him, the shield actually stays on (very well, I might add), and it actually comes with the Dragon Dagger instead of the generic ranger gun. A definite improvement over any Green Ranger figure made before it

PROS: Very articulate and poseable; really nicely detailed; tight joints; more faithful to the original Zyuranger design than any American figure made before it; old-school packaging; very low price

CONS: Not quite as shiny or detailed as the promo picture made it seem (although anybody who's familiar with Bandai of America's practices knows that this is nothing unusual)

BOTTOM LINE: If you're lucky enough to stumble across one of these things, buy it. Seriously. Don't hesitate. This is probably one of the best toy purchases I've ever made.I wish you all the best of luck in finding one of these
