Review: Power Rangers Dino Thunder - Bandai of America Legacy Collection Build-a-Megazord Thundersaurus Megazord // Red, Blue, Yellow, Black, White Dino Rangers

 Once I moved to the states I started watching Power Rangers Dino Thunder and I was excited, another Dinosaur team which I thought had better and more streamlined designs for their suits. It was based of Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger which was the 27th season for the Super Sentai Series. They kept the diamond motif, they kept the main three dinosaurs that they had in Zyuranger and two kept the same color. I really liked the white outline for the visor and the more stylized "jaws" that the visor shape kept. The lack of silver lip piece is much appreciated. I did find it interesting that they decided to reuse the white diamond pattern that Zyuranger had. I thought the dino footprint design on the chest was pretty cool and back then I did think that this was the superior dinosaur design but now it's pretty hard to choose. I'm not sure which one I like more, both are so similar yet so different. Initially, the Red, Blue, and Black Dino Rangers were released before Hasbro acquired the rights to Power Rangers. They weren't hard to find, I found them easily along with all of the male Zeo Rangers. White and Yellow... didn't have the same luck. The female Zeo Rangers shipped in August of last year and there was almost no trace of the Yellow or White Dino Rangers. At one point the White Dino Ranger did show up at Walgreens so Yellow was left... that was until the Legacy Collection had a very sudden re-release of all of the previous, current, and remaining waves so I nabbed it!

Review: Power Rangers Ninja Storm - Bandai of America Legacy Collection Build-a-Megazord Storm Megazord // Red, Yellow, Blue Wind Rangers

Power Rangers Ninja Storm was the last season I saw before I moved to the United States and every other season I watched was in English. It was right after Wild Force had come out and I loved that season, especially since Lions and Red were two of my favorite things so you know it is. I did think that the theme song was a little strange and different from what came before. It was also an interesting season in which the wirework and CG was funky but I didn't care, I was 7. I did have a couple toys that my dad had sent from the U.S. but no transforming mecha, I had a big zord where you could put a Red Ranger that came with it and I loved it! Unfortunately, earlier this year Pua Magasiva passed away. This was also the first full team to be released by Bandai in the Lightning Collection line and the only set of three rangers to build a Megazord. Although Dino Thunder was a team of three they used all five of the rangers to build that Megazord. Power Rangers Ninja Storm was based off of Ninpuu Sentai Hurricaneger from the Super Sentai Series in Japan.

Review: Avengers: Endgame - Hasbro Marvel Legends War Machine Mark 006 // Rescue 0049 // Endgame Hulk Build-a-Figure

With the re-release of Avengers: Endgame that I still haven't watched there's a whole new set of Marvel Legends coming out. The second wave for Endgame has some very anticipated figures. Shuri that was teased last year with the 2nd wave of Black Panther figures, the heavily armored Mark 006 War Machine, 0049 Rescue Armor for Pepper Potts, and Professor Hulk along with other comic figures (Rock Python, Union Jack, Loki, and Beta Ray Bill). One of the downsides were that War Machine and Hulk aren't the versions everyone was expecting, we'll get to that in a bit. This set had been out for a couple months at this point at Targets in different parts of the United States but I had no luck finding it. I did have it pre-ordered on Amazon but I ended up finding all of them at GameStop two weeks ago. They were a lot more expensive but I just couldn't wait...
