| This looks familiar... |
As you know and may have seen from my
Instagram, I have bought a couple bootlegs and on my way to search for a certain set I ran into these! Super Dino Force! Which are knock-offs of Power Rangers Dino Charge or Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger. I honestly didn't expect to see these and I don't know why I'm getting them in the first place, they're not any different from the others and they don't even have more articulation. They're still from
JWP International or
OKK Toys just repainted, no more articulation or gimmicks or details.
The packaging is different and the logo does look pretty goofy. You have eyes and claws around the logo and more odd looking dinosaur art in the cardboard on the background. Super Mighty Force had the promotional pictures of the toys with more articulation and a light up feature. This one...
Has pictures of poorly molded Deka Red or S.P.D. Red from Power Rangers S.P.D., they look like they have much more articulation than they actually do and the paint on the helmet looks much cleaner. The belt buckle has a different shape than the final product. Weapons pictured are also from Power Rangers S.P.D. and not even the figures in the concept art can hold them properly.
Super Dino Force! The weird eyes and oddly robotic hands claws!
Like I said before, the figures are exactly like the Super Mighty Force ones, same base mold but different paint. They're also more colorful but the gloves and boots aren't painted.
They all have the same head but the only difference is the sash. For whatever reason Red and Green have the dinosaur head in their respective colors but Black doesn't, whether it's because the black wouldn't show with the black outline or not, I do not know. The dinosaur design looks pretty goofy. The head is poorly painted due to the way the face is sculpted, it's a wrestler's mask so the teeth wont work, the prototypes looked better.
The only articulation is in the shoulder, all of them have rotating shoulders but the figure is so fragile that I'm afraid to move it or force it. These are supposed to be for kids, how are they going to last??? They do come with accessories but they're the same ones as before.
Red has the helmet and claws, they peg in nicely.
Black has the dual swords which plug in, this one hasn't broken any pegs.
Green has the hook thingy and the sai and if you can tell me the name of the hook thingy I'll be eternally grateful.
Both Black and Green come with 2 Shurikens each.
The figure is around five and a half inches tall, smaller than the Armored might figure and taller than the 5" Red Action Hero.
They'll fit in nicely with the other villains and they don't look too terrible when you have them next to each other. They have a certain kind of charm to them and although I shouldn't really buy them, I want to get them! I found a couple other ones that I wanted to get but ended up not getting. I'll see if they're still around when I go to that store (it's far from where I live). For around $1.50, they're not very expensive and if you don't mind a knock-off then by all means.
