Hey Dragonzord, i lost my flute, could you still come over?












Bandai is known for their excellent works on robot related toys, though I know this is not japanese but a Saban poser, but still Power Rangers are Power Rangers. and good thing Bandai made it.



This was released with an 8' Green Ranger which is missing, so i just made do with my 5' Green Ranger figure for comparison. which is a lot better (though still off-scale).







This combines with the MEGAZORD to form Dragonzord Battle Mode (which i don't have). it would have looked like this if you want it to combine with the MEGAZORD.

As expected with Bandai, this was greatly done, from the sculpt that closely resembles our 90's robot-hero, to the decals was nicely made.and has a glowing gold shoulder piece. also did i mention this has a Grimlock-feel on it?

The only action feature that this toy has is the lighting chest peace, which still works even after more than 20 years of childhood playing. on and off button is conveniently located at the back. (runs with 2 AA batteries)

It approximately stands 10 inches and somehow the tail makes it look wide.

Not much to do with the articulation, as it only has limited, which also limits its pose-ability. a leaning-forward-straight movement with the body and that's it, the legs and even the arms doesn't move. which i really don't mind since this figure is for display purposes only. 

A rather important piece if your a 90's kid. really feels good having this in my collection.
