The 90's Strike Back : Mighty Morphin Power Rangers

[Borman]

Apparently, the show is back on ABC family, with some minor special effects and other changes to the show. Forgot to check it out.

Of course, that also brought a new toy line, so I went shopping today, and managed to find this:


Seems to be hard to find still, this was the only one Walmart had (Target had none). Of course there are plenty of the 4-inch figures around, but this was my number one goal.

Target also had something I wasnt expecting..



Yay for stuff I couldnt afford when I was 4

Oh man, my life revolved around this show when I was younger. Quite younger. Well, not last week anyway. I even saw some of the Japanese stuff.

...my wife demand's the Green Ranger's flute knife thing looks like a penis flute, for blowing. My childhood once again comes crashing down. Next someone will tell me they roasted and ate the Easter Bunny.

Other than me, I mean.

[Vector]

FUCK YEAH. Give me the Green and White Rangers, the Green Ranger's Flute and Saba(the White Ranger's sword), and I'll be content.

[Blacktail]

I loved the first zords.Ultrazord was fucking indestructible.

I always found it hilarious that the yellow ranger was played by a female in the scenes shot in America, but was so clearly a man in the scenes kept from the Japanese version.

[Borman]

Pretty awesome thing for 25 bucks

Reruns on ABC Family? Oh Goddammit, that's what I get for not having cable.

Yes, one of the only few things I remember of the 90's were: Resident Evil, Godzilla, Imogen Heap, and the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.

GO GO POWER RANGERS!! DEEERRR, DEEEERRRRM *guitar imitation lol*

I pretty much disliked all the rest that came after (with a slight exception to 'Dino Thunder'). Screw you, Mystic Force. Burn in hell!!!

Long live Rita Repulsa!!!

They are remastered or something like that, so possibly slightly higher quality? Who knows.

That reminds me that at first a Japanese girl played the yellow ranger and an African American played the black ranger but when the cast departed the roles were shifted and an African American girl ended up playing the yellow ranger.

Anyway the original MMPR was great and played an important role in my childhood, the show started to go dowhill for me when the original cast departed.

So true, I stopped watching the show when the original cast departed. I was sad to hear years later that the actress that played the original Yellow Ranger died in a car accident when she was like 28 or so.

I used to have all the 12" figures and Megazord/Dragonzord/White Tiger zord but swapped them in 1998 for a PS1. I lost interest pretty much after the ninja zords or what ever they were called, I watched some of Lord Zedds series but I felt it wasn't as good so I eventually just stopped watching it .

One of the many shows I remember from the 90's. Notable mentions: Captain Planet. Go Planet!

You got the bum end of that deal, PS1 went down in price, the toys went up hah

[REmaster]

For any fellow MMA fans, Jason David Frank (A.K.A. the green/white ranger) will be making his MMA debut in a few months lol.
