It’s time for another gallery of the popular Power Rangers Dino Charge toy line, and this time we’re looking at one of the villain figures from the latest assortment currently available at retail – the villain known as Ice Age! We first saw this villain as he attacked our heroes Tyler and Shelby, and there’s a good chance we’re going to see him again!
While the figure doesn’t include any accessories, it makes up for the lack in that department with good articulation and, as has been par with the villain figures, an excellent sculpting job on the figure.

We return with yet another look at the highly anticipated (and still hard to find) Power Rangers Dino Charge villains figures! This time we're looking at Ice Age, a monster that's named in Dino Charge but was more of a foot soldier in the Kyoryuger counter-part.
The Figure
For starters, as many of you know, I've had my gripes on the villain figures. While I've enjoyed the highly detailed sculpts and better-than-usual paint applications, my gripe has been with the lack of articulation. This is not an issue with the Ice Age figure, as he features more or less the exact same points of articulation that you'd get in a normal 5" figure. But there's just one problem - his hands are so huge with those ice claws that getting him to actually stand up with his hands doing anything other than working as balance-sticks is a challenge!
That doesn't take away from another beautifully sculpted figure, but it does get frustrating after awhile. The joints were also rather loose on my figure, but that can just be an unlucky lemon figure. I'd have to buy multiples to find out - and that's not really on my agenda.
The Accessories
There are none.
So let's break down the figure with the good and the bad.
The Good!
The Bad!
The Conclusion
The Ice Age figure is one of my favorites for articulation but in terms of looks it's sub-par to the other figures available in this assortment. If you're looking to complete the entire villains collection then you obviously need to grab this guy - but if you're only looking to grab "the coolest looking" then while this guy is cool (ba dum ching), he's below Bones, Wrench, and Curio in the looks department.
DeBo Iceage was one of my favorite villain designs in a season of great great villain designs. This is tempting even though it's not in scale with Figuarts.
Was anyone else surprised at how big this figure was compared to other figures? I just found the 1st Villain wave at my nearest Wal-Mart and bought Curio and Ice Age. Ice Age is huge!
