Review: Power Rangers Samurai - 4" Wave 1

[MrToluca99]

this is slow

[Supermegaman737]

shuken, i hope this isn't to personal to ask, but what do you do for a living to afford all this stuff?

[waching]

I found regular versions of red blue green and gold. no pink and yellow though. bought blue and it was awesome and is the best resemblance to shinkenger (cause they dont have the shoulder armors of the mega version)

[Jonzilla37]

I got these on sale for 4 bucks each. I wasn't bothered by the skinniness of the girls when I bought them because if you watch the show, they ARE that skinny in the suites it's just that the extra armor exaggerates it making it look much worse. That's just me though. i kinda wish they had ankle articulation but what can you do

[crabclaw85]

It really bothers me how skinny the girls are & that the pink one is actually purple for some reason :|

[TheTurtle4554]

awesome

[aryansk7]

cool vidio comment back

[4293172]

Nice Job

[simonas65]

there called the spin sword and the mega mode is used wen they transform into the megazord

[shadowfox2321]

did you just call my cousin anorexic? 9:10

[ItsFlapJack]

@shadowfox2321 ..Your cousin is not a toy. These are piratically molded by hand not actual life cast of people. It's impossible for human to be that tiny.

[shadowfox2321]

@ItsFlapJack lol XD no my cousin is the yellow power ranger.

[ItsFlapJack]

@shadowfox2321 and....

[shadowfox2321]

@ItsFlapJack well my cousin is the yellow power ranger in power rangers samuri?

[ItsFlapJack]

@shadowfox2321 I know you said that 3 times now...

[SahibCommentz]

there is a gold ranger!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[Z39hyrr]

don't knock the fans, haven't you played Mortal Kombat?

[vazztheninjahedgehog]

me too i want the green ranger to be the emerald ranger

[Shin27ecstasy]

I wanna custom paint these so bad lol

[ThePokemonmaster627]

where did u get the mooger the pink ranger and the yellow ranger

[ThePokemonmaster627]

where did u get the pink and the yellow?

[MRxlax22]

wtf u guys like power rangers are this vid is a joke joke really

[patscollectible]

What makes yellow and pink so rare? I looked in 4 different stores and haven't seen them once! I like the fact that the swords clip on the side too, that was a really nice addition. the white joints are a bit of a shame, I agree.

thanks for the review! I was never a real Power Rangers fan, but I like these because I feel (although new) they are a good representation of the entire license.

[xanderandre101]

can you move there feet

[ejohn22sa]

dude a fan can be an effective weapon. its considered as a concealed weapon . used in some asian martial arts

[10fanBen]

where did you get the power rangers samurai figures?

[jake815718]

dude blues weapon in the show is pretty much blue so dont blame the toy

[segtendo1]

@thedarksasuke93 6 something i bought red blue and green at walmart and thats the price i got it for

[wargun1000]

are they sic size? kiwami tamashi

[ShukuenShinobi]

@wargun1000 Yup. Just a tiny bit shorter I think.

[RockBed1]

@ShukuenShinobi Where Did U Find Them

[TheGeoXWar]

Hey does anybody think Mia is Hot!

[GoggleheadEXE]

@TheGeoXWar  I agree! She looks hot!

[SirAthen690]

blue has a pot leaf on his face

[ginelleify]

do you have S.H.Figuarts Shinken Red

[nightwingx1985]

Mmm. I'm not sure if I'll get them all yet, but I'm definitely interested in the yellow one for some reason. I usually HATE this scale for my own reasons, but for Power rangers I can overlook it. I might army build the "Moogers". Just to have some fun monsters for my other figures to fight.

Offhand, Do you think they'll do a lot more original scenes when they get to Gokaiger to hide the pre Zyu/MMPR rangers? because otherwise it'd be hectic to explain...

[ShukuenShinobi]

@nightwingx1985 If PR lasts that long, I'm sure they'll be reshooting a majority of the show.

[MephilesTheDarker]

@ShukuenShinobi Yeah. Plus, considering that most PR seasons' plots differ from their Sentai counterparts, they'd largely have to rewrite stories. It'd be cool if in the RPM world, Dillon gets captured and Tenaya has to fill in for him in the female Black RPM suit. Let's hope that Samurai catches on. :)

[ItsFlapJack]

@nightwingx1985 the original suits from the show normal not mega rangers will come out for this toyline soon they displayed them at the toyfair if that's the reason you not really interested but they will remain 4in figures.

[Hakeruto]

@nightwingx1985 It'll be hard to do Gokaiger.

[chase1146newacount]

the machanical shunken maru is called the mega blade

[Hakaishi00]

ALL OF PWER RANGERS IS SUCKS!!!...ORIGINAL ALWAYS BETTER!!!!

POWER RANGERS CAN JUST GO TO HELL!!!

[chase1146newacount]

@Hakaishi00 fuck off jack ass

[Hakaishi00]

@chase1146newacount my ass is my ass ok....why everyone always cursing people around with jack ass....jack ass is jack ass and mine is mine....what a dumb person.....yes i always fuck off because i dont do sex thingy....mr.weir masturbater......

[parodyman2003]

@Hakaishi00

Trollers gonna troll.

[Hakaishi00]

@parodyman2003 trollers?....i am a human....what an idiot doing here......are you crazy or something?....if you was.....go to the doctor.....

[spikeriley]

I saw the first episode, and the Mega Rangers are used, but when they pilot the Zords.

[aem147]

'I have the power to keep u cool in the summer!' LOLz

pretty epic figs!

[goonger35]

i finally got two blue and yellow because those are the rare one in my area pink is very comman green exstremly comman red hes a little rare but i still want him though im planing to get pink because the females sell quicklyer than the male oh ill subscribe if i forgot

[goonger35]

still need red pink and green i dont even like the gedo

[nightslash3535]

If I can choose between buying an assortment of these or the S.H. Figuarts Shinken Red, then I'll choose the S.H. Figuarts even though it costs as much as a full assortment of Samurai Ranger figures.

[Vaporify]

i think the mega rangers are like spd when they had swat form or something

[neyo509]

r these even in america or canada ??

PLZ ANSWER OR REPLAY

[andrewdoubleu]

bandai america sucks

the samurai morpher SUCKS!! >:(

[goonger35]

@andrewdoubleu welcome to my club but i do like these i call them shinkenger ultramode

or ha-oh samurai sentai shinkenger its for the samurai ha-oh is it cool i dont even like power ranger its just that i cant afford 100 dollors on 5 figure

[coolcui198]

isn't blue ranger's bow from gao ranger (the red ranger's wepion)?

[sengalboy]

You should get the Mega Blade.

[samharay]

Le gros fake... seules les armes ressemblent à la vraie série... aller aussi les casques... mais olol le carnage US.. pffff

[hyouma09]

The mega rangers are going to be in the series.

[RedRanger159]

Can You Pop There Heads Off? That's Always Fun To Do! lol

[hyouma09]

@RedRanger159 I tested it today since I got the red ranger and you can take off the head.

[nerdyemovampireisbi]

i sstill need pink and yellow. they didnt have those at the target buy me:/

[segtendo1]

@nerdyemovampireisbi same i need pink and yellow i now only have blue red gree

[nerdyemovampireisbi]

@segtendo1 i got mine just a few days before the show came out! got em all at target! i say look there kuz they are getting way harder to find

[pr5060]

how tall are the figures in iches or centermeters ?

[stardock0117]

@pr5060 4 inch figures

[hilarioph]

I am prefer to 12inch just like they

did on Power rangers operation overdrive.

Because i think is 5inch?

[MegaDueler]

THey are going to be in the show, with in the megazord. Watch the Blue ranger promo, and you'll see what I'm talking about.

[11029hi]

Dude these things havn't even arrived to Burbank California yet :( hope it comes soon..

[goku2520ify]

hey theirs a reason y they made those toys as u already know or dont know they putting the mega samurai rangers in the series

[jedimaster1326]

my walmarts still do not have anything from the samurai line, just a few goldars, an mmpr megazord, a red rpm ranger and a mix and morph base

[RedRanger159]

@jedimaster1326 Me To, I Live In Baltimore And Here It Sucks =(

[LerkurlianTamer]

lol, complaining that the girl rangers are shaped like girls. Whatever man.

[ItsFlapJack]

@LerkurlianTamer I know right! This is the first guy to complain that the girl is shaped like a girl. The whole armor and big weapons look cool on the female rangers. At least their not muscular men in pink spandex.

[AlphaSky2Productions]

Bandai make the humans in their uniforms!!!!!

[AlphaSky2Productions]

Bandai should make previous Power Ranger teams 4" toylines of their own,and Kamen Rider DK's toy line should've been made like this....

[TheCrazycrazynites]

So Mr. Shinobi are you getting the Shinkenger Figuarts?

[TheThrashmeister]

Kind of disappointed these were the standard figures instead of the normal ranger/shinkenger suit. Hopefully those will be released at some point, no?

But I'm considering picking one of these up nevertheless. Still a cool addition to my collection!

[imfar2busybeingdelic]

You are amazing! Thanks for the review! I want them all!!!

[musha96]

the word on the green ranger is not 'forest',is 'wood'

[elrick44]

fans can too make good weapons, Takeda Shingen defended himself against a group of assassins with a simple war fan.................... though as i typed this i realized that you might just be speaking sarcasticly

[ShukuenShinobi]

@elrick44 Yeah. Not only do I know about Shingen's manly awesomeness, but I watched Gekiranger/Jungle Fury. :D

[elrick44]

@ShukuenShinobi and like i said, didnt realize that at first, sorry

[ShukuenShinobi]

@elrick44 It's cool. :)

[Dharg100]

@ShukuenShinobi how many inches are the toys

[goonger35]

@Dharg100 about 4 inches or 5

[MoonIMover]

Power Rangers with colored accessories? It's about time!

[TheHeartbreakKid11]

i dont like how in the packaging there holding there swords. when i got mine out there hands were open and i coodnt get green or blue to hold there weapons right

[Tlee3dee]

no offense to america but they suck at making toys!!!!

i mean look at the japanese toy they are the bomb!!!!

[raikutsu918]

great review man!!!

[11029hi]

When are they coming to burbank :( hope they come soon....

[11029hi]

Wow their awesome... :( they havnt even reached my home town yet tho :( hope they come soon to burbank

[RedRanger159]

I'm Alittle Dissapointed That The Female Rangers Don't Have Skirts... But When You Think About It Skirts Really Wouldn't Look Good on Those Suits... I really Hope To See Show Accurate Figures soon

[pr5060]

does any 1 kno when these AWESOM FIGURES are going to be instores in the UK??? or does any 1 hav a link for ebay that i can buy thats from the UK ???

[RedRanger159]

I Might Get These... But Truthfully I'd Rather Have Show Accurate Figures...

[sengalboy]

I wish they made Juzo...

[prreviewer45]

yessssssssssssssss no skirts on the girl molds!!!!!

[Tencents09]

The weapons are based of traditional Japanese weapons. Red's is a zanbota sword, blue's is a yumi bow, green's is a yari straight spear, yellow's is odviously based off of a shuriken, and pink's is a japanese war fan.

[SaGoZo13]

is this availble at toys r us?

[ShukuenShinobi]

@SaGoZo13 They haven't been spotted yet, but I'm sure they will be eventually.

[Gum2Gum]

@SaGoZo13 trust me toys r us suck, walmart get the figures first, i noticed this like two years ago, for toys r us to be toys r us they get shit after walmart.

[Gum2Gum]

damn bandai, never paint or deal with the back of the figures.

[SaiTurtlesninjaNX]

It's pronoun SHIN_KEN_JAA! There NO GER in japanese. Why is it so hard for people to get that?

[BlacknRedTed]

Those look pretty good and I am liking that articulation a whole lot. I could actually pose my PR in some good poses now. Cant wait to get these guys.

[TFRookie117]

Thumbs up if you looked up Mooger x]

[espnonsportscenter]

heheheheheheh....wood spear...lmao

[MephilesTheDarker]

It looks like the Mega Rangers may appear in the show after all. Amazon's product description of the Mega Ranger line calls it a "new Mega-Mode as seen in the TV series." Well, if they do show up, I'll definitely be anticipating their appearance. :)

[TransformersDude22]

Oops, I bought Figuarts Shinken Red >:\

[therealhyperwire]

Just saw the "exlusive preview" on the the pr site.... ehhh....

Yea, the combat was right out of Shinkenger... but ummm... bad dialogue from what I saw. I wasn't impressed, but I wasn't let down either. I guess I have to reserve judgement for feb...

I also saw the toys in target a few days back... God bandai.. please just make stuff that's actually in the shows!

[tripdefect87]

I read on Henshin Grid that the suits were actually made by Plex Desigins (the people who make the costumes for Super Sentai and Kamen Rider) but just for the toy logos, for now at least

[ShukuenShinobi]

@tripdefect87 That makes sense, as they do look like official suit designs, not something some American company whipped up. If they exist, I'm sure Saban has a chance of using them, so we'll see!

[likky1]

bandai japan vs bandai America!

[TheDarksasuke93]

shuki, how much did it cost for 1 figure?

[Godzillawolf1]

Oh dang it! Why can't I find these dang things anywhere! I've looked EVERYWHERE and I can't find them were I live!

I like what they've done with it though, it's actually pretty nostalgic and reminds me a lot of the older series, which I like.

[MoonIMover]

@Godzillawolf1 Just give it some time. I'm sure that a lot of stores are going to wait until the show itself premiers before they put toys based on it up on their shelves.

[sengalboy]

i think i'll definitely get this by 2012 (since every PR seasons air a year after the premiere). This along with American Goseiger (if they wanted to adapt it, i'm sure they are) are the only PR action figures i'm gonna buy.

[extremetrial125]

i think shinkenger is way better

[therealhyperwire]

@extremetrial125 I think most of us will agree on that...

Also, one things I wanna note. The Courtesan in AC: Brotherhood's weapon is a bladed fan. I'd assume someone's gonna give Pink crap in the show for having a fan, and make paper jokes.. I hope Pink's fan isn't lame...

[Ringer149]

Kinda sad that the "Mooger" got the Goldar treatment in regards to articulation :(

[tenzeku123]

oh god please no remolds for american megazords

[likky1]

i bet most of the kids looking at the show think: what the hell is with their faces(a.k.a kanji)?

the fans of shinkenger know what the kanji mean or the people who know japanese

or is it explained in the show what the kanji on their faces mean?

[KRiderMan1248]

i agree yellow looks like she has skinny bird legs

[wtfd00d08]

Meh....i kinda like the body designs, but what the fuck is the deal with the helmets?

[silentjawsume]

theyre more like bionicles than SIC style haha

[Tanat83]

Cant believe that even Power Rangers Samurai isnt spared from the "Americanizing". And to think that its Saban doing it this time. What is purely Japanese culture (paintbrush, origami) should stay as it is. Im not gonna follow the show at all. Heck, I suspect Goseiger might even be 'Americanized' too :-(

[ShukuenShinobi]

@Tanat83 Damn those Americans making their American show American. Damn them to hell.

Not only are the origami aspects, and even painting aspects staying in the show, if those things should stay as is, they should so in the japanese show. Powers Rangers is american, it always has, and always will be.

I hope they Americanize Goseiger, because it honestly can't get any worse than it is already.

[Tencents09]

@ShukuenShinobi Dude, the figures are powered up forms and the show isn't that bad. The powered up modes are going to be in the show.

[Tanat83]

@ShukuenShinobi I still dont understand why Saban must continue to Americanize Super Sentai shows. Like many others, I thought the Power Rangers franchise was done with Power Rangers RPM, but NOOOO, Saban bought the franchise back and 'insisted' on remaking Shinkenger, which has samurai and Japanese culture motif.

As fro Goseiger, that sure was a painful show to watch, with the many Headders and weird combinations.

[Dtctr010]

@ShukuenShinobi it will be better because goseiger doesnt really have japanese influence in the shoe like shinkenger

[ConstantMnemonic]

I was expecting it to be bad, but jeez. The raping has begun. Damn you, Saban ;_;;

[deadboyrunning]

Did you see the Samurai megazord at Target? If you did how much was it?

[ShukuenShinobi]

@deadboyrunning $19.99 or $24.99, but they were sold out when I was there.

[UzumakiRevan]

u could just sharpyt he white if it bothers u that much

[jpg0901]

I personally like the SIC designs, but to each their own...thanks for the review man, I'll def have to see if I can pick on of these up :)

[ninjakid164]

fans can be quite lethal if you know how to use them properly. it was my first weapon i mastered in marital arts the staff and sword was my 2nd and 3rd

[MephilesTheDarker]

Great review, Shuki! It's great to see you reviewing a new PR item after such a long time! It feels like coming home to an old friend. I loved how you ended up liking these a lot more than you thought you would. They look really nice and I love the armored look. They're really great for the price! I'll definitely be on the look-out for these with Wal-Mart gift cards in hand! :)

[Chrishawk4]

Actually, Kanji is for evil people.

[ShukuenShinobi]

@Chrishawk4 Amen my brother.

[Tencents09]

@Chrishawk4 How is kanji for evil people?

[Chrishawk4]

@Tencents09 When Shuki and I took Japanese in highschool we weren't too fond of Kanji.

[jamesjam36]

when do you think they will relese the shinken-oh cunter part in the us stores

[ShukuenShinobi]

@jamesjam36 It's out already, as are the cycles.

[dinobreaking]

pink has mustache

[codeywings10]

Still can't find these figures anywhere

[kagami67]

are those pictures REAL suites??????

[Mrcoolandcute]

i hate the mouths in the mask of the fig

but good review

[omegashenron8]

well they look a lot better than I thought they would.

[Gatchaman85]

Well I don't like the mouth of the toys They don't look like in sentai.But What the hell it's Bandai America so who cares about it nice Review

[vz17]

I'll wait for the figurarts, I WANT PERFECTION MUAHAHAHAHAH!!!!... maybe I'll get the mooger, one question, will you or are you thinking on getting the auto morphing samurai figures if they are avaible in your town?

[ShukuenShinobi]

@vz17 No, they looked like poo. =p These are fine for now!

[Kaiz2Kaiz]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought these figures were pretty cool. They are actually pretty decent figures but people were just whiny that the original suits didn't come out first.

How much do they retail for Shuki?

[ShukuenShinobi]

@Kaiz2Kaiz Don't turn into one of THEM K2K. =p They were $6.99 at Target, not sure how much at Walmart, none of my Walmarts have them yet.

[Kaiz2Kaiz]

@ShukuenShinobi I actually live in Scotland >.<  so the figures prob won't hit our stores late summer. I just wanted to get a rough idea of how much they cost :P thanks

[TFfan7]

why does america have to make all their power rangers so buff? sometimes even the girls.

[ShukuenShinobi]

@TFfan7 While this was always the case, none of these are buff, in anything they are rather thin.

[icantgetausername6]

@ShukuenShinobi agreed, the automorphin figures suck even the old ones

[TheKAM1993]

@icantgetausername6 THe auto morphin zeo figures seemed a little too round to me.

[TheKAM1993]

For the people saying don't get the samurai megazord. The Samurai megazord can combine with MMPR 2010 zord which Shinken-Oh couldn't do. Both of them have things they can or cannot do. So it doesn't matter which you get it just matters if you want the emblem modes or a zord that combines with one from the past.

[BeardMan1989]

@TheKAM1993

Dino Shinken-oh is an awesome combination.

[hjs1985]

I agree!!! the only thing that really annoy me with the figure is the mouthplates, the mullet like extension to the helmet and the giant kanji!!!! cannot wait 2 see the show though

[andrewnguyencameravi]

I will go get Samurai mega ranger fire, water, sky, forest, and earth and Mooger the evil space alien.

[IXRollOutIX]

Wait, wait, wait. Shinkenger is in America now?! I wan't deh megazord ^_^

[TheBlackShinigami]

@IXRollOutIX trust me.... no u don't

get Shinken-oh...... lol 

[IXRollOutIX]

@TheBlackShinigami OH... I see what you mean. Just saw a review of it. No Badge modes?... REALLY? How hard was it just to re-produce the god damn Shinken-oh mold?

[BeardMan1989]

@TheBlackShinigami

The Samurai megazord isn't THAT bad, of all the "problems" with it the only thing I'm really concerned with is that only turtle zord can go into emblem mode, which raises concernes for the Daikai Shinken-oh combination since the ape zord will need it's emblem mode for it.

[IXRollOutIX]

@BeardMan1989 Yeah... I wonder how they're going to explain the drastic difference between the Dragon Zord and it's toy? Lol.

[BeardMan1989]

@IXRollOutIX

It's Bandai, they don't have to explain anything.

Like for example, our 2010 mmpr dragonzord.

And by removing the emblem mode for the dragonzord there was no need to have that many moving parts.

[TheBlackShinigami]

@BeardMan1989 yeah same thats why i am not getting any of the megazords... . cause the alter rations are not gonna be show accurate

and i am not a show accurate whore but if they can't go into emblem mode then how are they gonna pull off Samuri Ha-oh?????

i guess we gotta wait and see...... and it doesn't use the disk..... so only time will tell how the toys will be

[BeardMan1989]

@TheBlackShinigami

They only really need the turtle and ape to go into emblem mode, but in truth the arms of the ape zord can just fold up and lay flat against it's "legs" per say, so really that could be their work around to the emblem mode, which in truth is more compact.

@BeardMan1989 yeah thats true...... but with that
