Adbento Karendā 09: PuttieZ

 The Z-Putty Patroller is here! The second grunt in the Mighty Morphin era. Basically, it's the normal Putty but made stronger by Lord Zedd's magic. This power comes at a price. A giant weak spot in their torso, specifically The Z in its armor.

Articulation

The Putty shares a body with the Rangers. Meaning that the articulation is Similar on those shared parts. the main difference in articulation is in the gloves. The putty patroller gloves are one piece and have no wrist articulation. This also applies to this Z-Putty.

  4.0

Paint and sculpt 

The Z-Putty has the same body as the normal Putties. With 4 main aesthetic differences: crotchpiece, knees, Torso armor and boots. Unlike my Putty 2-pack, the Z-Putty has a bit more paint on its face. I've no complaonts here.

2 extra hands

Flaming shoryuken effect

Getting hit effect.

There's not much you can do with putties, especially the Z-kind.

5.0

Overall

The Z-Putty gets a 4.67 as its final score. I believe the paintjob helped him over the Rita version.

Adbentokarendā 8: Tengu Warrior

I know the box says Tenga Warrior, but I'm using the original Tengu Warrior name for a key reason... The Heaven Sentinels are usially Avian in form and these fodder villains are Avian in form. I'm not sure if rights issues came up and for some reason the Tengu Warriors became Tenga Warriors. In Japan Tenga is a brand of a different type of toys... they are quite handy... 

Nefty VO: When the Tengu feel threatened, they try to make themselves larger and make noise in an attempt to scare off potential predators or Teenagers with Attitude.
Tengu Warriors: ARE YOU THREATENING ME!? I AM CORNHOLIO! I NEED TP FOR MY BUNGHOLE!
Nefty VO: Ah, the Tengu can make noises mimicking the English languages and communicate with catchphrases, the pre-internet version of memes.

Articulation

They have quirky Articulation:

Double knees but single elbows. Most likely due to the wings. The torso has great range due to the reverse ab-crunch and diaphragm balljoint.

Ankles are a bit of a pain to use. Their beaks open and close.

5.0

Tengu: I have Lightning powers!?
Tenga: Holy crap! We could use them to stop those Power Rangers!

Paint and sculpt

They captured the Tengu look quite well. The paintjob is pretty good as well. The metallic accents make the figure pop.

Overall

The Tengu Warrior gets a 5.0 as its final score. For a $20-ish figure, it has the perfect amount of accessories, it has a really good paint job and decent sculpt for a mass produced kid friendly toyline that can be adult collector friendly as well. Technically, I paid a lot less for one of them, since I got one at Kmart when they were closing.

Mikey: Check it out dudes, a Tenga Egg!!
Nefty VO: That's not THAT KIND OF TENGA EGG, MICHELANGELO!!
Mikey: WOW! WOW! WOW! WOW! WOW! WOW!
Nefty VO: Unbelievable! I just had an Iwen Wilson/Kate Bush reference combo.
Mikey:wait, this was an actual egg...
Nefty VO: Does this count as an abortion?
FBI: FBI OPEN UP!
