Only an Alien would think of dressing as a Yellow Ninja!
Lastly comes the
Mighty Morphin Alien Yellow Ranger, the one who
should've been my favorite of the bunch, but alas...
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 blue blaster effect belongs to him. The Yellow Ranger has a few aesthetic differences, like the bottom of his collar and his belt being black instead of gold. I love how vibrant the yellow plastic is on this guy too!
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. That said, Yellow has the same issue as Blue:
very tight shoulder joints. At least the shoulder pegs look to be made out of very solid plastic because I haven't noticed the pegs getting any stressed when moving his arms to the sides, but I still don't like it. His big helmet makes him a touch taller than Bucky Cap.
Well, I love having another male Yellow Ranger in my collection, and I really dig the design, it's just a
shame about the stiff shoulder joints.
