Oooooh, shiny!
If you grew up in the 90's you were there for the Power Rangers
craze, and if you were one of the cool, and let's be honest,
basic, kids then you liked the Green Ranger most of all... until he became the even cooler
White Ranger. Here we have Tommy in all his
metallic glory!
So, the metallic version wasn't my first choice, but he is an old figure, so he is a bit
expensive... thankfully, I saw some comparison vids, and I think I might this one better. The metallic effect isn't too bad, being a
slightly translucent plastic with a lot of glitter, but the gold parts are actually shiny gold, as opposed to the basic release slightly duller brownish gold. Maybe that one is more show accurate, but this is how I
remembered him looking, so I'll take it! He comes with a set of alternate hands(A chop and a fist), an alternate unmasked head and a... Zeo Crystal thingie. I didn't know what it was, I thought the seller just included some piece of excess plastic... but it turns out it's an accessory. An ugly accesory you
can't even pose him with, but whatever!
The figure is incredibly articulated. He has butterfly joints, ball jointed abs, shoulders and legs, as well as a hinged waist, swivels on his biceps, legs and boots... overall, he has a
lot of poseability. Making his chest armor a soft-rubbery piece wouldn't have been my first choice, but I guess they didn't want to sculpt an entirely new torso for him. Regardless, he is fun to pose and play with. He is a bit shorter than the Bucky Cap mold.
I was a bit disappointed I had to resort to the metallic version... but I'm quite happy with this figure, he looks really nice and is fun to play around with. Definitely a must have for Mighty Morphin' fans.
