Action Figure #690: Power Rangers Lightning Collection Mighty Morphin Alien Black Ranger

 Finally! One that actually looks like a ninja!

 Being clad in black makes the Mighty Morphin Alien Black Ranger look like a proper ninja, if only there was a Green Kakuranger we could've had an Alien too, bummer!
 While at first glance these four sculpts look identical, each figure has their own helmet, because the symbol on the head band is different, their own belt, because the symbol is different, as well as their own sword hilt, because, once again, the symbol is different. Unlike the Alien White Ranger, these guys use the older body buck, the one with pins. While I think the figures look good, I think the helmets are a smidge too large. But that's as far as the differences go. This figure comes with two trigger finger hands, two fists, a blaster, a dagger, a scabbard that slots into his back and a sword. While the belts should hold the dagger, I feel that they hang very loose, and they hold the blaster much more firmly. Every figure can use any effect, but according to the back of the box, the yellow sword effect belongs to him. As far as the Black Ranger goes, the gold and white accents on the suits look particularly good on him, making him very easy on the eyes.
 Articulation for these guys is as follows: Swivels on the boots, ankles and biceps, a hinged waist, a ball jointed ab-crunch, butterfly joints and double jointed elbows and knees. Much like the Red Ranger, his joints are very smooth. His big helmet makes him a touch taller than Bucky Cap.
 The Black Kakuranger is another fun Ranger. While I still think the helmets are a little bit too large, the rest of the sculpt is good, the costume is cool and the articulation makes him fun to pose around.
