love it- Raph would put Tommy to shame!

Since when did you customize, Steph?

Are you gonna use the Dragon Shield from the poor Green Ranger you sacrificed for the helmet? :D
He needs a Dragon Dagger....

haha thats pretty freakin sweet.

Since forever. I've entered in several of Patraw's custom contests...

Totally the wrong scale. It looks really goofy on him. Otherwise I would.

I must've totally forgotten about those.

I like how this one's turning out!

Not a Power Ranger fan but it's a really cool idea looks great.:)

I enjoy this to an unfortunate degree.

Yeah, he's been at it for a while now! You should check out his personal blog (not GoGreenMachine.org) to see some of his work! He did a very cool and toon-accurate Catwoman April custom.

I'm diggin' this... Should use a b&w neca to do the white ranger as well...

Base color isn't ALL that important for these, since I repaint them regardless. It's difficult to tell in the picture, but Raph has been repainted from the neck down. Notice the lack of black muscle accent lines.

Tada!

As I said on FB, it's spectacular.

Kinda reminds me of Saban's Green Ranger suit, with the obvious difference in the shield.

Looks awesome!

very cool.

Why is it that so many people who grew out of Power Rangers after about a year or two still love the Green Ranger so much? I can say that because I'm one of them. The saddest episode of the series was when the Green Ranger finally lost his powers and we knew we'd never get to see that awesome Mecha-Godzilla-esque Dragonzord again. The White Ranger and his Tiger zord just weren't quite the same. :cry:

EDIT:
Actually, this was pretty cool. I was rooting for the evil clone:

Because the Dragon Ranger is a badass.

That's pretty sweet--can't say I've ever seen this idea done before either.

ah, combining two of my childhood favs

i remember thinking of this way back in the day when the turtles fought the power rangers in the two part episode during the next mutations times, however if i remember correctly it actually took place on the power rangers show, awesome concept and greatly executed

This looks great, both turtles and rangers were a major part of my youth and this combo is amazing :trazz:

Combining to of my crushes together! WOOOH! *G* :tlove:

Tommy was the ONLY reason I started watching the show back in the day.... JDF! FTW!! *drools*

I take it you've seen the movie Junior Defenders then? I bought it only because it had Jason David Frank (and Brain O'Halloran of Clerks) in an obvious parody of the Power Rangers. His character's name? Tommy.

You have managed to take two of my favorite childhood franchises and put them together! Bravo!

That's freaking awsome haha green ranger was always my fav

On a side not have you guys seen the dude who played the green ranger latley? He does mma and is ripped.

beautifully executed.:D the green ranger was always a badarse.

That is a combination i can get behind! My two favorite childhood franchises!

Looks fantastic!

Wow! First time in my life I was speechless. Just awesome job, two of my favorite lines together at last. Thanks for sharing this great custom with us. :teek:

i cant stand power rangers, BUT this is a great looking custom. the combo flows very well together.

I feel that an April the Yellow Ranger would also work well. That five-parter about how Tommy was about to turn evil was definitely one the best arcs in the whole show. How about Foot Soldier Putties, even?

I've never been a Power Ranger fan, but that's a cute idea done well here. :)

This is awesome! Did you ever think of making the Power Shield to look like his shell? I think that would make it really pop!

go, go, turtle ranger

That is bad ass!

No. I tried to keep artistic license to a minimum. My goal was to literally make Raphael as if he were the green ranger. So I tried to make his costume as authentic as I could given my level of expertise and materials.

Haha that's great. A little odd, but great. You gonna turn all the turtles into rangers? Make April the pink one? :p

very neat concept

haha i love this idea

Nice. My two favorite action figures to collect combined.
