 Hey guys, welcome back to coming in TV the only place on YouTube. We're all geek culture collides today on the show We're taking a look at Saban's Power Rangers lightning collection Dragon Shield Black Ranger So in case you hear anything in the background that's the rain because it's storming today So let's get on with it. This of course is the Saban's Power Rangers lightning collection Dragon Shield Black Ranger from Hasbro This is from the Oyster Stew episode of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers From season one, I believe. I'm pretty sure it was season one Oyster Stew where Zack ends up getting hit by one of the Oysters Slime or whatever that Weakens him and so Tommy gives him his power shield to help power him up back up Are you okay? I came as soon as I heard you calling me. Tommy, don't touch me He's bringing with some kind of acid gel and I get you too Zack, here take my shield. The power's in it will heal you and give you energy Thanks Tommy. What about you? I'll be okay. So anyway, let's go and take a look at the box This of course is a Walgreens of exclusive. We have Zack here on the front. We're in the power shield We have the Saban's Power Rangers lightning collection logo there Dragon Shield Black Ranger. There's a side a nice picture of Zack there's the back and There's the other side. We got the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers logo up top there Now let's go ahead and open them up and take a look at the Black Ranger All right, so here we have Zack the Mighty Morphin Black Ranger the original Black Ranger From the first couple seasons of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers I have held off for quite a while on collecting these I haven't collected Mighty Morphin Power Rangers figures since I was a kid and So I was hesitant on picking these up but I'm kind of coming around and I decided that if I'm gonna collect these I'm only gonna collect Specific teams Of course, I'm gonna start with the OG Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and I'll probably end up collecting the entire Zordon era which is Mighty Morphin, Zio, Rangers in Space, the Alien Rangers and Turbo then well, I may not collect turbo. I'm not sure That was that was probably my least favorite of the Zordon era was the Turbo Rangers But then if I collect any others, it'll probably be Dino Thunder and Power Rangers Ninja Storm Those were really the only two post Zordon era Power Rangers shows that I really liked anyway. Let's get into it This of course is Zack and the detail on him is really nice I like how they made it look and again, sorry for the rain noises guys the Ceiling is really close to the roof. There's really no space between here. So You can hear pretty much everything But anyway, I like how they actually made the creases and everything in the uniforms And they didn't have an overly muscular like some of the old-school figures Did and how even some of the comics have They really made it look like Pretty close to how they looked in the show You have a really nice Silver paint job on the helmet Silver and gold really because the eyes and the line around The well the line around the top of the helmet is a goldish color it looks like Maybe silver it just depends on the lighting But the eyes of the mastodon are gold the tusks and the lines of the trunk are silver you can vaguely make out the white turtleneck underneath and the the armbands armbands are molded or sculpted into the actual arms and you have Very nice. I've seen some figures where they do way too many of the diamonds on the gauntlets of the gloves But these are almost perfect four diamonds on the Boots and then you've got one two three four diamonds on the gauntlets of the gloves Which is perfect? They didn't have any more or any less fewer than that And you can make out the dragon shield is a separate piece. You can make out his diamonds underneath Which is very nice now I did check to see if the dragon shield could be removed and while it may be possible. I wouldn't recommend it because as I tried to remove it It wouldn't move past the armbands And I had a feeling I stopped before I even tried to get them past I had a feeling that This part was gonna tear if I tried to force it. So I just left it Maybe with a Blow dryer on hot you can soften that up a little bit to pull it off if you want to But I'm just gonna leave it on Looks cool. He looks very gold ranger ask So let's go ahead and get into the articulation before we get into all the accessories first things first the head is on a pegged a Peg with a hinge so it can look up that far and it can look down that far It can also look side-to-side all the way around now if You want him to look up further or look down further he has Two ab crunches He's got the upper ab crunch here Which is partially hidden by the dragon shield right there and then he's got a lower ab crunch Which doubles as a back crunch as well Which is really nice, I really like that. I wish more figures came like that Stretch the back just like that and Haven't been over just like that. There is however no waist swivel Which that's that's okay because the upper ab crunch Works as a waist swivel Which is cool? The belt is a separate piece entirely It does have the holster for the blaster The legs can go up to there Not so much back. It's hindered by his butt to the side This one is kind of hindered a little bit not by the gun holster or the blaster holster, but Mainly just just by the sculpt Same with this side now if you want them to kick higher you just kind of lean lean both there is a hip swivel a double Knee joint ratchet joint and there's one okay, then There's the second one Now we bring them both there's that and There is a boot swivel as well as An ankle rocker not too much tilting for the ankle rocker though then up top you have the shoulder Which is on a ball joint and hinge can get up to there Rotator around can get up to there. It's kind of hindered a little bit by the dragon shield, which is a soft rubbery plastic Okay, and then it's got a Shoulders a bicep swivel and I love the placement of the joints as well Because they really blend in with the sculpt of the figure other than the elbow and knee joints You got double Elbow joints right there then you've got no gauntlet articulation, but the hands are on a peg and Hinge so they can come out and go in that far They can swivel just like that Okay Sorry about that Now let's go ahead and we'll get into Some of the all the accessories first things first We'll get the blaster One thing they did not do with these blasters is Make them convertible and What I mean by that is if you remember in the original money more from Power Rangers series they could Transform the blasters to where they were like little Little sword type dagger things and what that was was they would Straighten the handle Make bring it to here and then they would push this up so it acted like the blade That is the one thing the own really the only problem I have with this figure is they did not do that. It would have been a nice little a Nice little throwback to the original series and that does fit Right in his blaster holder right there, okay, which They probably wouldn't be able to get away with nowadays Because of all the all the gun control arguments and all this that's going on in the world But then you have the power acts One thing I found really awesome was that Hasbro went the extra step with the power acts and Made it convert into the power blaster for when they bring them together and It looks like They can actually bring them together as you can see here with the sights the sword would go in there The boat Kimberley's bow would go across here just like that it would actually Looks like it would probably snap in there and then the Power daggers and the power lands, but it also comes with this blast effect and This right here Just goes just like that now they should have made this a little bit longer the Effect that enters there because it doesn't really want to stay in that well Any little bump it knocks it out and that does fit Into Zack's hands you can have him hold it like the power blaster which Takes just a little bit because of how his hands are just like that and Like I said, it does take a little bit to get his hands to go around the handles of the axe blaster all that That's how he holds it pretty much When it comes to the blaster and then for the axe bring this back up and And it is a softer rubbery plastic, but don't bend it too much because You are liable to break it, but see how his hands are sculpted. I'm I don't really like that. I wish they would have made it A little bit easier maybe separate hands for the different ways In which he holds his power weapon, but Can't really hold it with two hands when it's in this mode, so that's that we'll go ahead and take that out Something else he came with was his D-helmeted head Just pops off. It's on a big ball joint Snaps on just like that and there's Zach The og black ranger and now something I wish they would do with the basic rangers the ones without power shields and whatnot is like With Jason trainee and Zach what they should have done is included an alternate head sculpt for Adam Aisha and Rocky. I think that would have been really nice fans have their favorites and and That would have gave fans the option of how to display him either it was either they display him as Zach training or Jason or As Rocky Adam and Aisha So I do kind of have a problem with that now I do understand with this black ranger only Zach wore the dragon shield, but they could have included the operation overdrive power vests and made this removable Included Adam's head so that you could have swapped between the two black rangers since Adam did appear in did wear the operation Overdrive power vests in the operation overdrive episode or not operation overdrive episode I think maybe it was operation. I can't remember. I like I didn't stay up to date on the post of Lord on era I'm sorry, but anyway the episode once a ranger always a ranger So there's that and he does come with two alternate hands Snap those off He comes with a fist As you can see here And it just snaps in. I don't really like there we go you really have to change the placement of The peg on the fist before you pop it in because it is kind of difficult to adjust the hinge afterwards, so there's the fist and For the other hand kind of tight he has The karate chop feature The hand chop so now let's go ahead and place them back Well, we'll go ahead and zoom in on his head and Let you guys Get a nice look at Zack without his helmet Without his weapon just like this We'll scroll up We'll do it all the way around and then we'll put his helmet on put his power ax in his hands and Give you guys a good look at that If you enjoyed that video make sure you hit the subscribe button right there So you stay up to date on all things geek culture Also, go ahead and check out one of these two playlists on the side for more videos just like the one you just watched I'm Shannon for coming in TV the other place on YouTube.
