Review: Mighty Morphing Bootleg Rangers - Super Ninja Force Pack

*edit* This was originally scheduled for the end of the month but I've been so busy this week and as of late that I didn't have time to write another review...
These new Legacy Collection Ninja Steel figures are amazing! Just kidding, here are the Super Ninja Force Figures which are based off of (Super) Ninja Steel Rangers or Ninningers. There's the set of 5 Rangers for the low price of $10! Which is $40-$50 less than the Mighty Hero Set or the Epic Hero Set which comes with 5 Rangers, 1 villain and the morpher in two modes. Either way, here you get all five and they're cheap, they come with pretty much the same amount of accessories. I've wanted to get this pack for a while and I thought it came with a role-play weapon and further research shows that these do come in separate packs AND in another set of 4 that comes with a bike (that Chrysti Ane commented on). These are made and or distributed by JPW International or OKK Trading, I wanted to make an account but I need a business licence in order to sign up.


Super Ninja Force! Packaging is standard, a blister pack featuring the logo with a Shuriken which is appropriate for (Super) Ninja Steel and Ninninger. It also shows 6 Rangers! Red, Blue, Yellow, Pink, White and an additional Black Ranger. There was another pack that I remember seeing about a month or two ago with a Green Ranger but I didn't buy it unfortunately... Pink here looks very purple, much like the actual figures Bandai produces, well, they're more like a dark pink.
We have the Red Ranger! Brody! He is nicely painted with his sash and the arms are painted black, the thing he is missing is that he doesn't have the glove cover (?) and his belt is inaccurate, the one that they used is the same one as the other Mighty Morphing Bootleg Rangers or . The back shows the screws and no paint, which isn't any different from most Bandai America figures... The figure is nicely sculpted, meaning that it just has a bunch of muscles... 
The details for the sash or belt aren't sculpted in, they're just printed on. The head is actually sculpted for another Ninja figure, and you can see it through the paint, it might not be a Ninja either, it could even be a wrestler! This mold is reused often with different paint jobs.
 Articulation is limited, just arm articulation at the shoulder, it's like a vinyl minus the waist articulation. The plastic is brittle so I don't really want to move it around a lot.
All the other rangers are pretty much the same but different plastic. The only one with a semi different paint job is the White Ranger. She has red borders instead of white, and that's about it. She is also the only one to have a sticker in the back. According to online sources (and the back of the packaging in the pictures) they have names! Red is Masashii, Blue is Shimizu, Yellow is Kaumano, Pink is Shinano and White is Suzuya.
Made in China and they conform to the Toy Safety Standard. 
The helmet it is the same one throughout, it uses the design from the Red Ranger.
This figure is about 6 inches tall
Here it is compared to other male figures
The female body mold, while it's missing the skirt and the thigh highs, it is accurate to the Power Rangers' footage since the pink and white rangers have male suit actors.
Here it is, next to some other female rangers
Since they're ninjas, they do have one accessory, which is the same amount as the regular 5" inch Ninja Steel figures.
They're molded in the same color as the ranger, they have one peg that attach to the hand. They are made out of hard plastic so they're susceptible of breaking fairly easily.
You can find them on their own by the same company. And from what I've seen there are more articulated versions of these that I haven't found yet and there's one set with a bike which I want to get but I'm debating whether or not to as well as one with a sword that I did find but wasn't quick enough to get. I kept delaying it and it was gone.
You do get additional accessories if you get Red, Yellow and Blue separate.
 The helmet is two pieces and the claws attach to ports on the forearm.
 You also get two additional blades
And a Sai and an additional claw, hook thing.
Blue and Yellow both come with Ninja Stars unlike the official 5" Rangers. They can't really hold them unfortunately... 
They're not bad, they're pretty nice and it's a good deal for 5 rangers, although it's cheaper to get them separate. You can pose them with your Ninja Steel villains and have a ton of fun! Unfortunately with the limited articulation they're not able to fit in the Megazord...
