Review: Power Rangers Ninja Steel - Ninja Master Mode Red, Blue, Yellow, White, and Pink

Finally the Ninja Master Mode figures, much like the last set of figures, this review is late! Mostly because I just recently got back from Orlando, it was a nice vacation but once I returned I had a lot to do. Either way, I also finally got Ninja Master Mode Yellow after two attempts, my first one I ordered off of Ebay but the seller sent me the wrong figure so now I have 3 Calvins... I don't need that many, and on my second attempt, he didn't get to me until after I got back from vacation of Wednesday night. Still, I really like these figures, and they definitely look better than the armored ones. They're another way for Bandai to make extra money since more modes means more figures that collectors have to buy... like me! Are they worth it? Let's find out!
These figures are really awesome! I have grown to like them a lot, I'm not usually a fan of cockpit modes but they look cool! The armor is nicely detailed and the shoulder pads are on a hinge, much like the shoulder pad on the Dino Charge figures. The black sash is painted underneath but the left shoulder isn't. White is the only one with pink outlines instead of silver because of her color scheme. The girls definitely look a lot better in the armor than the guys. 
 All around, the paint is good, the back of the silver and black bits aren't painted like the ones in the front. It's pretty much identical minus the main torso.
 It's the same thing with the girls, the only different part is the torso. Legs, head, and arms are the same, no additional detail. The armor looks better on them since they're petite.
The little bit of Sash is painted but the shoulder isn't which is unfortunate, but you can barely tell since the shoulder pads are on the way. The figure is the same height as the regular one.
 Girls are the same, but I had a little bit of a harder time standing them up.
They also look a lot better than their armored counterparts, the shoulders are one segment shorter and they actually come with accessories which the armored ones did not.
They have the same articulation which is hindered by the way the shoulders are sculpted, you'll never need to fully extend the shoulder pads, the joints on my Red Ranger are slightly loose so the Ninja Master Blade wont stay in place due to the weight.

 The Ninja Master Blade is nicely sculpted, all of them come with one, even though you actually just need one. Still, the detail is there but the handle on this chainsaw thing isn't there which is a bummer. And due to poor articulation they can't hold them with both hands properly. They're also heavy so they weigh the figures down and they can't stand properly. They are very nice display pieces, specially with the Megazord since that's the only reason they exist. I liked them more than I though and you might as well, the armor with the colored Shuriken in the chest just sealed the deal with me.
