Power Rangers - the appreciation and discussion thread - Page 60

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.

I remember seeing figures like that in corner stores during MMPR's second season, and I just somehow figured they were just being put out there just because of MMPR's success. It was kind of annoying too.

Thats a great Megazord, but I still like my 1993 version better, and the 20th Anniversary looks great.

Yeah, my family couldnt afford stuff like that back then, and I was always more interested in getting books to read. Got into a toy phase around 2003 and tried to make up for the years I didnt pick any up.

Oh, well the good thing is you enjoy the line, see i've been collecting Power Rangers from 1993 to current date and have got all bandai and many no bandai released pieces. In late 1994 I got some vhs tapes w/ Super Sentai, episodes on them, and after that I began collectiong them, not that were getting the 199 Battle in the Mega Force Series.

It was adapted from Gridman.

stapeanc · 09-21-2012, 12:45 AM

Yes I know but it was part of the Ultraman franchise.

HeavyMetalCarebear · 09-21-2012, 09:02 PM

I stopped watching it once they added that lame Justin kid or whatever his name was (it's been a while).

stapeanc · 09-21-2012, 11:21 PM

Justin became the Blue Turbo Ranger, replacing Rocky

The second half of Turbo (after the rest of the cast was replaced with new faces) was quite good, and Justin only lasts about a year before he's booted off the show.

*TheCanadiandrome* · 09-22-2012, 08:58 AM

Actually didn't mind Justin, kid's kinda cool in his unique way

*MikeandRaph87* · 09-22-2012, 10:35 AM

This may be a TMNT board,but if I have a PR question I know you guys mostly likely have the answer. That being said,the Zeo rangers were numbered 1 through 5 and Trey/Jason did not have a 0 0r 6 attached. Was the numbering like a hierachy or mean anything?
