You wanted edgy Power Rangers? Enter the Abarekiller.
Abarekiller is interesting because he almost killed Super Sentai, so they had to turn him into a hero. But then again, technically this is the Dino Thunder White Ranger and not the Dino Thunder Killer! I'm not very familiar with either Abareranger nor Dino Thunder, but this guy looked cool as hell... and went obscenely high in price, so the sooner I got him the better.Even though I'm not familiar with the character I'll be the first to tell you that this guy is cool as hell. His design is pretty spiffy for a ranger, and I love the white, gold and black color scheme, with a badass red visor to top it all off. Oh! And he gets a Shield! Well, I got this guy loose so I'm missing most accessories, but, hey, I got him in a deal with another ranger(Spoilers!), including the updated helmet, so I'm not complaining! A bit of lore, when the guy first released, the visor was missing the black outline due to an oversight, so Hasbro shipped the correct helmet to those who asked. Aside from that, he comes with an alternate set of hands, an unmasked head sculpt as well as his feather weapon and a cool energy effect for his weapon, which I sadly missed out on.
He has the same fantastic articulation as the rest of the line. Double jointed elbows and knees, butterfly joints, swivels on his thighs, boots and biceps, a hinged waist and a ball jointed ab crunch. His shield is strapless and won't hinder his articulation in any way. He is a touch shorter than Bucky Cap.
He is a fantastic looking ranger, no wonder he is so expensive! I'm glad I got such a good deal on him, and it included the updated helmet and weapon!
