Nostalgia Alert!! Power Ranger Season 1 Megazord Review

"It's Morphing Time!!"
Who could ever forget that line back in the early 90s. XD. Back then, all the children would sit and wait for the airing of "Power Rangers" and never wanted it to end as we'd had to wait a full week for the next airing.
Oh well, maybe not all the kids, but definitely me! I just love them back then as i just adore their super powers and especially their Zords. So in the end, my love for them turns into a toy for me to play with.

And with constant pleas and "efforts" to my parents, i finally got the first Megazord back in 94/95? cant really recall. What makes this particular Zord memorable and makes me I am is that, my obsessiveness with toys started then! Is it good or bad? hmm... My parents back then dont really support my idea of buying toys as they aint cheap. =p
But thankfully now, they fully support my obssesiveness  interest/hobby which is collecting toys~

Okay, enough with all the recalls and flash backs, this piece that i'm sharing today is called the "Megazord" No fancy names in front or back, just Megazord. It's the first Megazord that makes its entrance in the first episode in the first season of Power Rangers. Season 1 of Power Rangers is actually the American rendition of "Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger" and all the "ranger" and "zord" fight scenes are cut from the Japanese series.

Megazord!!





One of the cannons is missing and there are crome wear on the "tusks", "horns" and "teeth" on the dinozords but other than that everything they used to be back then. This Megazord is one of my best kept Megazords in my collection as i still have everything except one CANNON!! Darn... I believe it's still somewhere in my house but until i found it, this will do.. :(
PS: Not many poses can be done on the Megazord as the articulation is almost non-existent. XD

Lastly, here's a footage of its transformation taken from youtube~

  1. Even though I wasn't too young then but the first US Power Rangers is one I follow throughout. Even gone to the theater to watch the movie with my girlfriend. Out of the rangers, I luv green ranger the most and it's awesome when he upgrade to white ranger. A great toy there pal!
