Power Rangers Super Samurai 4'' Master Xandred

Though I'm not usually into collecting Power Ranger Villains, the nemesis of the Power Rangers Samurai was an exception. Menacing and really the look of pur evil made me pick this up without a thought.

Packed only 1 per case of 8, Master Xandred is a figure to hunt down if you're completing your set.

The figure has real nice scupt work but fails in the articulation department.

Due to armor and suit design, the movement in most area is severely hindered.

Unlike all the other regular Ranger figures from the line, Master Xandred only lacks wrists articulation, all the other joint are still present.

Black washed the details on the figure and the sword to make it less plasticy looking. All in all, a real nice figure to display with your other 4 inch figures from the line.

Power Rangers Super Samurai 4" Shogun Ranger

Happy new Year everybody, it's been awhile since I last posted, after a few months break from action figures, chogokins and Transformers, I'm back again with another Power Ranger Samurai figure blog.
After watching the Power Rangers Samurai on television, the newer season which is now call Power Rangers Super Samurai, the action figures and mechas that appeared in the series are almost complete.

Here's a picture of the 4 inch figures that I have. As for the last wave of the 4 inch line, the stores are either not bring them in or they have completely sold out, so recently, thanks to a friend I just made on instagram, I traded some Bandai monsters for a 4 inch Red Shogun Ranger to complete my collection.

Seriously, the Shogun ranger design has gotta be one of the best suits to date. The figures articulation is much like the other 4 inch figures release. The sculpting of the figure is good but the paint job could be better. Black washed the crest and buckle to have a more metalic feel.

If you dig the suit design, this is a real nice figure to have. But if 4 inch is not your kinda scale, the Shogun Ranger Fire is also released in a 12 inch figure format as well.

Power Rangers Samurai Lightzord

After 4 months of the release of the Samurai Lightzord in the states, we down here in Singapore finally get to purchase them. For Japan released toys, we sure get them fast but Bandai America products, it sure takes awhile.
Anyways, finally picked up the Power Rangers Samurai Lightzord.

The packaging is not much different from the othe mini zord vehicles. Blister packed with Power Ranger pics and logos all over.

I just love the light Kanji on the side.

First up, the Lightzord is really small but has enough details to not be a total let down. The robot is not too shabby. The lightzord transforms into it's lantern mode and also the BoA spider mode which never appeared in the show,  I don't really get what they were thinking when made it transform into a spider, well, at least there's slightly more transformations.

Well, at least for me, I display him in lantern mode with Gigazord most of the time. The lightzord is another affordable alternative to it's Japanese counterpart Daigouyo.  The lightzord is nice addition for the other Power Rangers Samurai toys and a good for display with playibilty and enough functionality to be a stand alone toy.

Power Rangers Samurai 12" Shogun Battlized Ranger

Guess what I've got, an early Birthday present from one of my best pals. From the Power rangers Samurai line, the 12 inch Shogun Battlized Red Ranger.
The new waves of Power Ranger Samurai figures will be arriving quite soon which includes a
4 inch scale of the Red Shogun Ranger, so for collectors who isn't into 12 inch figures, this figure may not interest you.

All current re-releases of this figures features a removeable helmet to reveal Jayden, personally, I prefer the first released ones which had the non removeable masks.

The figures doesn't have the best articulation comparing to ShFiguarts or Project BM figures but it has it where it counts, the scupting is not too bad too.

The only thing that I dislike about this figure is the weapon it came with, the samuraizer is not in scale to figure. Slightly oversized for my taste. And the lack of Bullzooka, kinda wished it had a super combined weapon for the shogun mode too.

Besides the minor downside, the armor that it came with makes this a real cool figure to have in your collection if you dig Samurai-ish Shogun warriors. Looks nice with all the megazords too.

Overall another cool figure from the Power Rangers Samurai line.

More Ranger sale Part 2

In the morning, I went on to continue searching for the Power Ranger Samurai Sale figures.

Most department stores, don't have a full set of the Samurai rangers, mainly due to the uneven case assortment. Rita Repulsa is all over the place. I picked up a Mega Ranger and Super Samurai Red Ranger.

Only Toys'R'us, carries the later waves of the 4 inch figure line and Bull Megazord, the bad news, Toys'R'us are still selling them at the inflated price. The 4 inch figures are $14.95 Sgd each and the Bull Megazord $69.95 Sgd each.

Still no signs of the shark zord and Hydro bow though the Spin cycles are all over the place, most likely the spin cycles will be on clearance soon....

Power Rangers Samurai Octozord

Here we have the Mega Ranger's Octozord, just like the other auxiliary zords, Octozord was on sale, though Octozord was not a octopus but more of a squid, Octozord was a much cooler name then Squidzord.

Much similar to the others in the line, Octozord came with pegs for the Rangers to ride on. Paint details are not too bad, the only gimmick the Octozord had was the spinning tentacles when you roll it along, besides the gimmick, Octozord is compatible with both Clawzord and Samurai Megazord.

Samurai Octo Clawzord and Samurai Octo spear Megazord

And with all the auxiliary zords, they all combine to form the Samurai Battle cannon.

Overall, the Octozord is a good toy, just with a few minor flaws. Compatibility with the Samurai Megazord, Samurai Clawzord or the other auxiliary zords, makes this a real winner. Lotsa play value and with the sale, Octozord is definitely value for your money.

Power Rangers Samurai Beetle Folding Zord

Another auxiliary zord from the Power Ranger samurai line, this time is the Green Ranger's Beetle zord, available in all major departmental stores islandwide at $26.36 after a 20% discount.

The beetle zord just like the other auxiliary zords has a matt finish on all the orange parts, has a gimmick  when you roll it around the head spins.

Like most auxiliary zords from the line, the beetle zord has pegs for the 4 inch figures to peg on  and "ride". Beetle zord also combines with Samurai Megazord to form the Samurai Beetle blaster Megazord.

The head of the beetle zord detaches to form another head piece for the Megazord, the body of the beetle zord forms a shield.

Now the auxiliary zords also combine to form another configuration with the Beetle zord, Tiger zord and Swordfish zord, altogether they form the Samurai Battlewing.

The Samurai Battlewing is a nice mode, no gimmicks in this mode except that the beetle zord head still spins when you roll it. In this mode, it also combines with the Samurai Megazord to form the Samurai Battlewing Megazord!

Power Rangers Samurai Tiger Folding Zord

Not to be confused with the MMPR season 2 Tigerzord, let's just call it the Tiger Folding zord, here's a auxillary zord controlled by the Red Ranger. With a real inflated retail price of $32.95 SGD, luckily, there's 20% off of the retail price, this figure can be found in most major departmental stores in Singapore.

The Tiger folding zord has matt texture on the plastic even though the plastic is molded in white with painted details. Just the other auxiliary zords, it has pegs for the 4 inch figures to peg on. Tigerzord has a drill action gimmick when you roll it around it's front drill legs will spin.

This auxilary zord is compatible with the Samurai Megazord, combining together to form Samurai Tiger Drill Megazord.

Buying this alone is definitely not worth it but with the combatibilty with Samurai Megazord and the other auxillary zords which makes the play value alot more and with sale price, definitely making Tiger zord value for your money.
