Thank you to Jada Toys for providing their Power Rangers Metals Die Cast figures for review.
Availability: January 2017
The Power Rangers Metals Die Cast figures are based on the original television series and are made using die cast and plastic parts. Each Power Rangers has their own unique helmet, color, and outfit that is also the form of their Zords (dinosaur robots that they can ride in, or combine to form the Mega Zord to fight the aliens that Lord Zedd unleashes against them). The Red Ranger controls the Tyrannosaurus Dinozord, Black Ranger the Mastodon Dinozord, Blue Ranger the Triceratops Dinozord, Yellow Ranger the Sabertooth Tiger Dinozord, and Pink Ranger the Pterodactyl Dinozord. Their helmets are designed to resemble their dinosaur Zord, with the rest of the costumes similarly designed with the exception of the color and iconic weapon.The Green Ranger controlled the Dragon Zord, with his helmet designed to resemble his Zord. The Green Ranger also includes more unique looking costume compared to the other members, including gold armor over his chest and shoulders.
The figures are non-artiuclated with the exception of a swivel waist, and this allows you to move the torsos or legs about 30 degrees to create a new pose. Each Power Ranger are sculpted holding their iconic accessory, with the Red Rangers holding the Power Sword, Black Ranger Power Axe, Blue Ranger Power Lance, Yellow Ranger Power Daggers, and Pink Ranger Power Bow. The Green Ranger includes his dagger, with a holster for it on his left hip. As the dagger cannot be removed, it’s not possible to store the Dragon Dagger in it. The material used us very good with die cast being used for the torso, head, legs and feet, and plastic for their accessories, hands and feet.
