Toyman Review – Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers Legacy Power Morpher

So, for the 20th anniversary of Power Rangers this year, Bandai finally gave us long time fans a toy/collectible that we’ve been asking for for….well, 20 years! The Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers Legacy Power Morpher!

 

The outside of the box is in the retro style/color of the original MMPR toys. I really did like this aspect, as it did make it easy to spot on shelves. The availability of the Legacy Power Morpher is limited, being a Toys’R’Us Exclusive (though rumor is that Bandai will do a more general retail release to every store, but that has yet to be confirmed).

I decided to pick this up after an exhaustive series of calls/visits to my local TRU that finally paid off when I was told when the latest shipment would be coming in.

 

After opening the box, the plastic tray contains the Legacy Morpher (with the Tyrannosaurus Power Coin), the 4 other Ranger Power Coins, and the belt buckle/morpher holder. The Morpher and Power Coins are all Die-Cast, being top-tier for collectors. The detail in each of the Power Coins is super defined, making these closer to the original Zyuranger Dino Medals from Japan.

 

The morpher opens with a push of a button on the right side of the handle. There are 4 sounds in the morpher as well as 4 LEDs that surround the Power Coin slot. The 4 sounds are: Communicator beep when the morpher is turned on, the open morpher sound, a second longer morpher open sound, and the MMPR Jingle when the button is held down.

 

The back of the morpher features the Zyuranger “Z”, as well as the rangers colors on stickers that go across the top and bottom of the morpher.

Now, on to what everyone is asking: Is it truly worth the $50 price tag?

The Toyman’s Opinion:Yes! If you are a fan of Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers as a kid and always wanted a Power Morpher, you can get one finally without having to pay collector’s prices on Ebay.

Toyman Rating: 5/5
