The Ninja Megazord! Yes, that's right! Adding another Zord to my POP collection! With the MMPR Movie's 30th anniversary, it was only fitting we were going to get this guy! So without further ado, let's look into this POP, shall we?
Yeah, this was a pretty good set! Topping it off with the Ninja Megazord is just glorious!
The Ninja Megazord actually has two designs: the American movie version and the original Super Sentai version. Honestly, there was only one major difference that I can see, and it was glaring. It's the head. The way the crane formed into the Megazord's face is SO much better in the original Sentai, and thank goodness this POP went with that version (see?). But details! Details were in abundance when it comes to this POP, and they are everywhere! There is so much sculpt work, and it's been consistent throughout the entire figure. Every piece of its body represents a Zord from each Ranger, and they're all intricately sculpted to represent. While we'll never get individual POPs of the non-red/6th Ranger POPs in the future (I don't see it), at least we get these fully detailed out versions of them while combined into the Megazord! It's hard to really talk about all the pieces here, but just enjoy the pics!
There's not a lot going on with the pose, and I'm okay with it. The neutral stance allows us to really enjoy the work put into this thing.
The colors are great, and there are a lot of them. It's a given with Megazords since they usually represent the five main colors: Red, Black, Blue, Yellow, Pink, and for this cas,e White. The paint are vibrant and mesh real well despite the combination being so exaggerated. One thing to point out is that the Crane's color scheme becomes more evident thanks to the proportions of a POP.
Up close, even more details can be appreciated! The head looks so much better in this form than the actual one we got for the movie.
So yeah, it's hard to talk about the Ninjazord without bringing up the horrible CGI from the 1995 movie. I wish they had gone with more practical effects, but given how 'limited' those suits were in action, I get why they went CGi. The result was just not great, and even during that time, for a bigger budgeted project for Power Rangers, we all kind of expected a bit more.
The Ninja Megazord is next to the 'OG Megazord' and the T-Rex Dinozord. One of these days, I hope we get the Thunder Megazord. Also, details are always a thing when it comes to the POP Megazords.
Speaking of Thunder Megazord, here's the White Ranger's Tigerzord. The Ninja Megazord beats them when it comes to details, but still looks great.
POP: Megazords
This one is a must; that much is certain. Zords don't come by the dozens when it comes to POP, and so there are no complaints when this one's part of the lineup. Would this stand out by itself without getting the Rangers? Probably. But with the Movie lineup, I'd say they all just need to stick together, and I'm glad we snagged the Ninja Megazord!
Until Next Time!
