“Alpha, Rita’s escaped! Recruit a team of teenagers with attitude!”
10,000 years ago the evil witch Rita Repulsa waged a war against the forces of good, but standing in her way was the mighty Zordon of Eltar! A wise wizard of the light, Zordon and his allies rallied the forces of good for as long as they could, until Rita banished him to a trans-dimensional time warp. Likewise Zordon managed to seal the witch and her henchman away for eternity, almost. Knowing she may escape one day Zordon prepared for her return, taking up watch on Earth from his Command Center with his friend and caretaker Alpha 5. With the original 5 Power Coins in his possession, Zordon would be ready when the time came, to create the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers!
Finally the mentor of the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and his ally arrive. It’s been 10 years since the last attempt to make Alpha 5 & Zordon in a retail toyline. This go around they come in the collector oriented Power Rangers Lightning Collection in 6″ scale and feature stellar articulation on Alpha and electronic lights for Zordon. Surprisingly Alpha is an incredibly dynamic figure while Zordon is the static piece you’d most likely have expected. The only accessory included in the set is a really wonderful call back to the very first episode of hte series, Alpha’s teddy bear which he holds tightly when finding out Rita has escaped. Overall this 2-pack does everything it sets out to do and gives us a really version of both characters in this line.

“All that’s left is your obsession with Amazons!”
“That was there from the very beginning!”
Continually hunted by 4C, Haruka Mizusawa stumbles onto the darkest secret yet in the history of the Amazon Cells. In a quiet mountain village children are cared for until they can find new homes. At least, that’s the cover story. In reality this is a farm for growing meat. Young Amazons are grown and sold to wealthy humans as livestock, eaten as a delicacy. Darker still, these children are bred from the blood of Jin Takayama, miraculously still alive. This horrific new iteration of the Sigma Project brings Amazon Alpha & Amazon Omega together for their final climactic battle. The Final Judgement is here.
It’s been a long time coming for me to review this set. Having collected every other release from Kamen Rider Amazons, I simply couldn’t pass up on this one any longer. Based on the Amazons film The Last Judgement, this set recreates Kamen Rider’s Amazon Alpha & Amazon Omega in their final blood splattered appearances. Remolded and repainted with copious battle damage, these two look live they’ve been through hell, and they really have. While they may seem like superfluous releases to many, they’re absolutely necessary to me. Check out our comprehensive list of Amazons related gallery below to catch up with everything we’ve reviewed for this series:
