In honor of the brand new episode of Power Rangers Dino Charge, “Knight After Knights” airing Saturday, September 19th, we’ve decided to go ahead and throw up our gallery of the villain featured in the episode – and it’s none other than Bones, the monster that can take your backbone and make you a spineless coward! This figure faithfully captures the look and feel of the creepy-looking Bones!
But should he be on the top of your “must buy” list? We review the figure and share over 20 images of this beautifully sculpted action figure! Click here to check out the gallery and the review, and then join in the discussion of this guy! Are you going to pick him up? Have you even found him yet? Sound off #RangerNation!
Watch out for Bones - he'll make you a spineless coward!
The Power Rangers Dino Charge five-inch toy line continues on with more villains! This is an important event in the franchise's toy line history as this is the first time in nearly a decade or so since we've received various "monsters of the day" as actual action figures. With these figures trickling out we managed to grab them all - and we're going to review each and every single one of them!
The Figure
Let's just start off with what everyone is curious about - articulation. Bones features 6.250 points of articulation. His arms move up, down, forward, and backwards. He has two shin joints that allow for 360 degree movement. And the ".250" comes from the head as it does move but due to the shoulder gear only about 5 to 10 degrees in either direction.
However this figure is absolutely gorgeous. The sheer amount of detailing in the mold is astounding. Could it be better? Yeah, if it was a S.H. Figuart probably. But for Bandai America this thing is as close to masterpiece sculpting as you'll ever see. The head sculpt is damn impressive, to the point that the red eyes even have black pupils put on.
What this figure lacks in articulation it absolutely makes up in how it looks. It is easily one of the most impressive looking figures out of Bandai America in the last 5 years if not longer.
The Accessory
Bones comes with his bucket'o'bones, minus the bones. When he pulls out someone's backbone it goes in to this bucket. It is highly detailed (but not painted) and aside from a piece or two of leftover melted plastic it looks fantastic. I was half tempted during the gallery to rip off some Vivix body parts and put them in there for show. The bucket attaches via a rough 3 to 4mm peg (not a 5mm peg) and can spin all around.
The Good!
The Not So Good!
The Conclusion
I absolutely love this guy. While he doesn't have anything to write home about in regards to articulation, he's just fun as hell to mess around with. He looks badass, kind of like if Skeletor put on a robe, some real shoulder pads, and decided to go for a walk around Amber Beach. I can't recommend this figure enough. You aren't going to strike any cool poses but then again you don't have to - this guy is just cool standing absolutely straight!
This was a cool bad guy. I hope he makes a come back.
I love it! Then again, I love all things skeleton themed, so this is a must have.
For those who don't know, this isn't the first MOTW named Bones. There was another one way early on in MMPR Season 1.
I really don't get it : minor characters like mister "monster-of-the-week" here are getting nice, show accurate figures, while the main characters (the rangers) are getting misproportioned, butt ugly figures.
The ways of BoA are definitely too impenetrable for me...
Too bad these figures are not in scale with the S.H.Fs...
