Power Rangers Dino Charge Armored Might Red Ranger Gallery

Posted on January 26, 2015 at 6:48 pm by Chris under Power Rangers

It’s another year of Power Rangers merchandise which means it’s another year for the continuation of the Armored Might sub-line of figures. Following the successful line of figures from Power Rangers Super Megaforce which included figures like the Silver Ranger, Mighty Morphin Green Ranger, and Mighty Morphin White Ranger, the first figure to be released in the Power Rangers Dino Charge line is none other than the star of the show – the Dino Charge Red Ranger.

Featuring a grand total of 12 accessories and the now commonplace heavy muscular build, this figure is able to be posed in a variety of ways. The included accessories allow you to customize your Ranger to match all of his on-screen appearances with various Dino Charger power-ups. But even this muscular hulk of a hero has his flaws.

Check out the full gallery as well as our review by clicking here or by clicking on the “Discuss on the TokuNation forums” link at the bottom of this post. Have you picked up this figure? Do you plan to? What do you think this figure needs to make it a must-buy? Sound off in the discussion thread!

And here’s a special treat – our own staff member baltmatrix purchased this figure and did a quick review on it. Find out his thoughts and see if they match your own with the video below.

    It's time to Unleash the Power! with the Power Rangers Dino Charge Armored Might Red Ranger action figure, available for purchase now at Toys'R'Us and various online dealers via Amazon.com. Like all the previous Armored Might releases in Power Rangers Megaforce and Power Rangers Super Megaforce, these figures are "beef-cakes" with a ton of accessories and pretty solid articulation. Let's look at the figure first!

    The Figure
    My major point of concern with this figure is how rubbery the lower portion of the legs feel. So much so that they almost can't sustain the weight of the figure, especially when you start loading him up with all of his accessories. I ran in to multiple problems where the figure should have been able to be posed in a certain stance but continually fell over because the legs weren't able to sustain the added weight of the upper body. Or maybe I just suck at posing figures - it's pretty much a toss up.

    The "super beefyness" of the figure isn't a distraction - in fact, you begin to forget all about it because of how bright and welcoming the figure is because of the colors. This is simply a side-product of the fact that the suits were designed the way they were but the yellow just brings your eyes to the center of the figure every single time. Bandai of America doesn't know it yet but they may have a great seller simply because of the colors on each of the figures - they all stand out so much more than their Samurai, Megaforce, and Super Megaforce counterparts ever did.

    I really like the attention to detail in the arms - yes, the dino-scale pattern is present on the arms. It is however the same color plastic as the rest of the figure, the only difference that I was able to tell was a lack of "finish" on the arms - basically to put it in dumb terms they didn't make the scale parts shiny. The only other downside may be the fact that the shoulders are not scaled and instead are the shiny plastic - making it a little less accurate to the actual design of the suit.

    Overall though I think the figure does it's job pretty perfectly - more so than it's Mighty Morphin counterparts from yesteryear.

    The Accessories
    This is where the Armored Might line begins to shine and also where it begins to fall flat on its face. You see, the accessory count is awesome and it's a great way to get the figure more accurate to different parts of the upcoming show with the armored on bits and the handle weapon bits. However, the more you get the less you get with Bandai of America - basically meaning that you have all these accessories with awesome molding and then they don't paint a single one of them as a cost-cutting measure. These figures would immediately increase in value if they simply took the time and money to paint some of these accessories up.

    The amount of detail on the accessories - especially the Dino Charge Morpher and the Dino Saber - are incredible! While the morpher and saber are both painted (they threw some yellow and neon yellow on the gray plastic) I can only imagine how much more it would be if they had taken time to add some more details to these accessories.

    So let's do some good and bad now shall we?

    The Good!

    • Figure is very eye-popping
    • The accessory count is incredible
    • It's a fun figure

    The Bad
    • No paint apps on a vast majority of the accessories, and only minor paint on three
    • Rubber lower legs cause posability problems
    • Weapons, especially the Dino Saber, is made of the soft bendy plastic and to even get it out of the packaging you have to bend it.

    Conclusion!
    If you're a collector of Power Rangers merchandise then obviously this is on your list. If you collect the Armored Might figures, this is on your list. But if you're on the fence on whether or not you want to pick this up - I'd have to say it's 50/50. Maybe buy one and see what you think? I'm not a huge fan of the Armored Might line but for what you get for what you pay it's not too bad. But if you're looking to pick up the best representation of the figure, as always, hunt down one of the S.H. Figuarts Kyoryu Red figures (was going for cheap over the holidays).... and maybe wait for this guy to drop in price a little bit.

    My biggest problem with the figure is that the muscles get the way of posing the figure.

    The rubbery bottom half keeps me from being able to pose it. And the lack of paint apps on the accessories, while not new or surprising, really detract from how cool the figure could be. Instead it's like "HERE'S A MOSTLY PAINTED FIGURE WITH SOME BARE PLASTIC PIECES YOU CAN CONNECT TO IT!". Gimme some paint apps man!

    I agree. I mean, if part of the cost of Legacy Titanus is the GLORIOUS paint, then maybe for Armored Might they could tone down the muscles and use the savings from plastic use to pay for more extensive paint applications.

    But no, "Obscenely muscular figures test better with the kids" apparently.

    Instead of Grandizer, which was more a strictly Ian weapon, I'd much rather this came with Carnival Parts. I hope another one is coming that comes with those. This does though seem like less of a rip-off than AM SMF Red.

    I'd be interested in seeing some of those weapons with proper paint jobs, esp. the dino heads.

    i was hoping their weapons would be able to combine but sadly not also i wouldn't mind it being muscular if it had as much muscles as the red ranger actually has and what kids do they test with for the "hulk muscles will sell"?

    I think the best part of the review is when Baltmatrix channeled either Macho Man Randy Savage or Hulk Hogan at the end. That was awesome.

    Hence why the 2002 He-Man reboot was such a huge success.
