Power Rangers - the appreciation and discussion thread

I remember that about the same time the second season of Power Rangers was airing, my grandmother got me some action figures that looked like Power Rangers, but someone obviously was just trying to cash in on their popularity. They were so close to actual Power Rangers that I enjoyed them anyway.

I didn't find out until years later that whoever was trying to make a buck off of the Power Rangers craze actually got the figures from another Super Sentai series.

They were Fiveman figures! It was weird finally seeing a photo of those characters, after assuming they were just some knockoff someone invented in America.
