It Came from the toy Chest: Affirmative Blue is here...

I am talking, of course of the Blue Mighty Morphin Power Ranger, The Nerd, Billy... Played by David Yost. I won't go into explaining the whole Power Rangers thing... you can read the Red Ranger Review and call it a day...

So, let's talk Blue Ranger... I think.













Articulation:
Pretty much all I said about Red Ranger applies to this one as well. The Blue Ranger has a Hinged Neck on a swiveling head. no ball joint here, apparently. Double joint elbows and knees, ball joint shoulder with bicep swivel. a pseudo Revolver joint on the wrists. (changing hands  with the spare Green Ranger Hands scares me a bit here) Ab Crunch, waist swivel, ball jointed thighs and a rotating thigh... Kinda like the Toybiz ML Black Widow thighs. Boot cut and that strange ball jointed ankles that newer Hasbro ML have.
5.0

Paint and Sculpt:

Here things are a bit different. Blue has the same error in production as Pink and is sporting a Silver belt. Other than that, the paint applications and tampographs are effective. His sculpt is Virtually the same as red minus the head and belt.
4.5

Accessories:
Billy comes only with his standard blade blaster to put in the holster. No blaster mode or blade mode... Hell he doesn't even come with extra hands... All because of the stupid Megazord Leg.
Why a Megazord if we aren't getting any monsters to fight.
2.0

Overall:

Mighty Morphin Blue gets a 3.83 as his final score. He has Decent Articulation even if the thighs are a bit tricky. It's a shame that he lacks decent accessories to make him feel whole. I know the review feels like a cop-out by reusing a lot of MMPR Red, but they share the same buck and the differences are minimal.

You can Replace Billy and blue for Zack and Black... wait that sounded a bit too Zordon.

Why a Megazord if we aren't getting any monsters to fight.

 Yes, you literally read the same review twice... with minor differences, which is what we have between each figure. Final Mighty Morphin Rangers will come once Wave 3 is released... It includes the Yellow Mighty Morphin Power Ranger and...
