As should be obvious from this website, I'm a huge comic book fan. One of the offshoots of that interest is Power Rangers. While I'll admit that the quality varies from season to season, it is the longest lasting live action super-hero show on America television. The Power Rangers continuity will stretched across half hour episodes and one feature film by the end of Power Rangers: The first movie takes place in a different narrative continuity from the television series while Turbo: Over the 17 years the series has changed considerably.
The color coded costumes and giant robots robot power ranger ninja storm morpher toy the constants but there is a world of difference between Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers and Power Rangers: Being a collector by nature, around the time of Power Rangers: Dino Thunder, I started collecting the "objects of power" from the series.
I've tried to limit myself to just the morphers, battlizers and a few of the other toys and only ones seen in the show. As a result, I'm not interested in the "Galaxy Morpher" which was never used in the show. It was just a repaint of the Turbo Morpher anyway.
I started this during the DinoThunder season and picked up the items from the earlier season on eBay. I was able to get most of the items within about two years. The items from Power Rangers in Space were the hardest to find on eBay.
Since this seaons marked 20 seasons of Power Rangers, a number of things were done to celebrate that milestone. Two version of the original Power Morpher were released. Gokaiger was one of my favorite Super Sentai seasons. The twist was these rangers are pirate and use Ranger Keys to take on the powers of past rangers. In the Super Sentai world that gave them access to 34 past ranger teams. In Power Rangers, they had access to everything in Power Rangers plus a few additional Super Sentai seasons which were never adapted into Power Rangers.
I liked Gokaiger enough to get the Japanese versions of the morphers and many of the Ranger Keys. That decision was made easer by the fact they one seemed to do partial teams skipping almost all of the female Power Rangers. Power Rangers MegaForce introduced a new style of morpher: The RoboMorpher was another cell phone morpher.
The series has a fairly different storyline than the heaven versus hell storyline of Goseiger and introduced the second team of rangers in the new Saban era of Power Rangers. This season was a continuation of Power Rangers Samurai which tey essentially split into two seasons. In this season, the rangers kept the morphers, outfits and powers from Power Rangers Samurai and the Black Box Morpher was introduced as the "battlizer" for the season. After taking a year off for reruns of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, the series returns with Power Rangers Samurai with the series back under the control of Saban.
The theme music was heavily based on the original Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers theme and Bulk returned to the series, this time paired with Skull's son Spike. I thought the idea of the Engine Souls was cool and it was a brilliant marketing move.
I'd like to get all of the different Engine Cells produced by Bandai America but I'm currently planning to only get the ones that come with the morphers. It isn't a bad concept and it works in the context of the show but it makes for a lame toy. The Wolf Ranger Morpher is robot power ranger ninja storm morpher toy interesting design but the Rhino Mopher is not what was used on the television show.
The Rhino Blade is both the weapon and the morpher for the Rhino Ranger. I've seen some bootleg Jungle Fury morphers based on the Dino Thunder morpher style which look cool. I'm planning on getting them as soon as I can fit them into the budget.
I didn't get the Overdrive Tracker Turbo Edition as it wasn't used on the show and was just a repaint of the Overdrive Tracker. I'm not sure if the Mystic Morpher Fury Edition was used in the show or not. At first it seemed like it would be the battlizer for the season but then the FierceDragonMorpher came out and was used on the show as the battlizer.
I would have gotten the Lamp Laser that Solaris Knight used on the show but they didn't make a toy of it. I've seen photos of some bootleg Mystic Forcce morphers based on the Dino Thunder morpher style which look cool. If I can ever find them and fit them into the budget, I'll probably pick them up. Power Rangers SPD was one of the seasons that never really totally worked for me.
The morphers are a variation on the cell phone robot power ranger ninja storm morpher toy and the battlizer is just a repaint of the Omega Morpher. Dino Thunder was a pivotal season for Power Rangers in a few ways. While I had caught a few episodes of Power Rangers: Ninja Storm, the return of a character from the first season of Power Rangers as the mentor for a new team was enough of a hook to get me interested in Power Rangers.
Prior to this season, I was aware of the show and had watched some episodes but wasn't a big fan. I'll freely admit that this season had some flaws but over all it was a fun show. This season also contained the th episode of the series: Few television shows make it to episodes, much less This season was also had a unique morpher design with removable face plates. This is some thing that bootleg toy makes have adpoted and used for later seasons which as Mystic Force and Jungle Fury.
So, technically, it isn't really a robot power ranger ninja storm morpher toy but a battlizer. The distinction being that Battlizers only upgrade a Power Ranger, not allow a normal person to morpher into one.
What makes it really unique is that it is a second stage battlizer since the Triassic Ranger is already an upgraded version of the Red Dino Thunder Ranger. So, in that respect, it technically is a battlizer of sorts since it "upgraded" robot power ranger ninja storm morpher toy Red Dino Thunder Ranger into the Triassic Ranger. It doubles as the Triassic Rangers weapon. Dino Thunder and Abaranger. These were kind of cool morphers.
There is enough difference in style of the Wind Morpher and Thunder Morphers for them to be unique while keeping them similar enough to be clearly robot power ranger ninja storm morpher toy. One aspect that makes these morphers unique is that they doubled as the ranged attack weapon for the Ninja Storm Power Rangers. In most other seasons the teams have a weapon that can convert between and sword or baton mode and a gun.
While the Ninja Swords could be combined with the sheathes to form a blaster, the morphers could also fire attack beams as well. The Samurai Cyclone Morpher is as close as we get to a non-cell phone, handheld morpher since the original Power Morpher.
The Growl Phone is the first cell phone style morpher for an entire team of Power Rangers. The Silver Space Ranger's Digimorpher was the first cell phone style morpher. The Lunar Caller was also a cell phone based morpher. The belt buckle style for the Battlizer Buckle seems a little out of place next to the morphers but at least it robot power ranger ninja storm morpher toy just a repaint of the Lunar Caller.
I really liked the Animal Crystal concept. The Lunar Cue is also a very unique weapon in and of itself. The Chrono-Morpher has a nice hi-tech design while the Quantum Ranger's Morpher aka the Quantum Morpher seems a to have a bit of a clunkly interface in comparison.
I picked up the Time Force Badge because it seems like a good idea at the time. Frankly, I don't really consider it a major part of the collection. The Rescue Morpher was the first human developed morpher in the Power Rangers saga. It has as nice simple yet functional design to it.
The Titanium Ranger is the first morpher created specifically for Power Rangers. There is no Sentai counterpart for the Titanium Ranger and this morpher is not based on any prior Sentai morpher. Given that it was created specifically for Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue, it is a bit surprising that it wasn't designed to look a bit more like the Rescue Morpher. The Battle Booster is the second battlizer in Power Rangers.
The design of it with a full ten digit keypad is an obvious extension of the original Battlizer with the three numeric keys. It can also be used to power up the Thermo Blasters. This team is unique in that robot power ranger ninja storm morpher toy Power Ranger has both a Quasar Saber and Transdagger as standard weapons but not gun or blaster. Given the Excalibur "the chosen will be able to pull the sword from the stone" aspect of the Quasar Sabers, I'll probably pick up one of the toys at some point.
The AstroMorpher is an interesting design. The keypad implies that the right numeric sequence needs to be entered to morph. But since it calls out the numbers entered during the morph sequence, I'm not convinved that it really the robot power ranger ninja storm morpher toy. Still, it is a cool design. The Digimorpher is the first cell phone style morpher in Power Rangers. The design robot power ranger ninja storm morpher toy a little dated given the changes in robot power ranger ninja storm morpher toy phone designs since then.
Power Rangers in Space introduced the concept of the Battlizer, a device to "upgrade" a Power Ranger into a more powerful form. This early model only had three buttons, each of had a specific function. The Zeonizer is the first two part morpher for Power Rangers. Overall, not a bad design.
I decided not to get the Gold Ranger Zeonizer since it wasn't used in the show. But, since the Golden Power Staff is used as both robot power ranger ninja storm morpher toy of the morphing sequence and for calling the zord, I'll probably pick up that toy as some point. The Alien Rangers used the coins to summon their Battleborgs and not to robot power ranger ninja storm morpher toy.
But I've never been a fan of morpher less morphing of Power Rangers so, personally, I figure they needed the Power Coins and Power Morphers to morph even if it wasn't shown that was on the show.
