Super Megaforce Wave 1 5 Inch Power Rangers Gallery by conundrum

Tokunation.com's look at the recently released Power Rangers Super Megaforce merchandise continues with a gallery of all 5 Super Megaforce Rangers released in Wave 1 of the 5 inch figures.

Each of the Super Megaforce Rangers comes packaged with 1 Super Mega Saber and 1 Super Mega Blaster. The Red, Blue, and Green Rangers all share the same male buck but with a unique headsculpt and the Pink and Yellow Rangers both share the same female buck but with a different headsculpt.

Both the male and female figures each have 17 points of articulation. That is including 4 in each arm (2 at the shoulder, elbow, and rotating wrist), 4 in each leg (2 at the hip, knee and rotating calf) and a rotating head. Due the character designs and the sculpts of the figures, articulation is hindered in certain areas of each figure. The high, stiff collars only allow the heads to turn approximately 45º left or right. The rigid, low-hanging coattails on the male Rangers restricts the range of motion that the 2 joints in the hip should allow, however, the tight skirt piece of the female rangers virtually inhibits any movement of the upper leg at all. The joints are there, but they are rendered useless, only allowing for 'stiff-legged' poses.

The figures in the 5 inch Super Megaforce line continue the 'tradition' of over-exaggerating the proportions of both the male and female Rangers. The Male Megaforce rangers have the typical 'roid-rage' look with over-pronounced biceps, pectoral, abdominal, leg and back muscles. Contrastingly, the 2 female Rangers have very slim limbs, a slim waist, and an overpronounced bust. The female figures do not just look smaller, but physically are by a fair margin. They stand at approximately 4 & 5/8 inch compared to the 5 inch male rangers and are only 1 & 2/8 inches across their shoulders compared to 1 & 7/8 inches of the males. I am not asking for 'hulked-out' female rangers, but making them more in proportion to their male counterparts (or vice versa) would make them appear less gangly.

Overall, the figures are what they are. With their lack of accessories, limited articulation, and odd proportions, the 5 inch figures are by no means a replacement for S.H. Figuarts, however, at their current price point of $7.99 each, you can have an entire team of Rangers for less that the cost of one Gokaiger.

Ahh another good find at retail I see

Not much left to track down for images at this point.

SOMEONE didn't get the last cycle. And sold the other 2 off before getting a nice group shot.

And the other Zord Armor. That's all that is out right now.

Damn, I really want these, they look so cool!

I've actually got the Red Lion and the other Zord Armor that I need to finsh galleries of. My Retrofire Legendary Megazord should also arrive this week as well.

Hahaha! I didn't find anyone to buy them yet

So if I can ever find the last one I do that group shot.

FYI atm target has the figures now for 9.99 instead of the 7.99 price tag.

That's odd. Locally my Targets still have them for $7.99.

its a shame my local target is stocking very little super megaforce. luckily, this is one of the things they ARE stocking...I dont care if they didn't sell all there megaforce stuff, they need to sell more super megaforce

Been reading Twitter reports ... some Targets are back to $9.99 while others are still $7.99. Either way, these figures look to be jumping up in price, almost like it was a "Target first release exclusive" or something.
