The Ladies of POWER RANGERS MEGAFORCE!

Yellow & Pink Rangers from 2013's Power Rangers Megaforce - Bandai 2012

Power Rangers Megaforce is the upcoming American re-edit of Tensou Sentai Goseiger, the 34th incarnation of the amazing Super Sentai series by Toei Company.  The original series aired in Japan in 2010 and featured an Angel motif (known in the 2011 South Korean edit as Power Rangers Miracle Force).  The females in this series are the typical yellow and pink characters.  I would LOVE for some variety.  We've seen a few female blues, a couple whites, and a recent red secondary character, but above and beyond, there always seems to be a yellow and pink.  Bandai has been doing wonders with these figures since the Mighty Morphin Powers Rangers reboot figures from a few years ago.  The smaller size, lower price point, great articulation, and heavy store circulation make these some of the greatest new figures of the past few years.  It also doesn't hurt that I've never seen a single production error or paint flaw.  Reliability is an amazing thing.








All the figures have varying "wing" insignias on their chest and a "beast" design on their helmets.  (Yellow looks like a Dragon and Pink looks like a Phoenix)














They are very poseable, only lacking a torso or waist pivot.  The skirts on these particular figures limit the motion of the hip joints a little bit, but there's still some wiggle room as seen below.




The figures each come with a gold gun (that can clip onto their right waist holsters) and large monochromatic weapons that honestly have me a little baffled.  They each also come with a playing card.








Time for some Comparison Pics!
Here are most of the female Bandai Rangers from the past few years (I couldn't fnd my two most recent Samurai figures in white vests)


And here's a group shot with a variety of Bandai Rangers from over the years.



 Cheers!

  1. Love the group shot at the bottom. Soo much pink & yellow!!

    While I know they wouldn't look very good, I wish Bandai would do unmasked versions of the female Rangers with the Zords.

    The new white outfits are nice. Thanks for the revie!

  2. That would be pretty amazing. They had unmasked version of the MagiRangers Mystic Force from a few years ago. They were the only unmasked ranger girls that have looked good so far IMO

  3. Just checked those Mystic unmasked figures. The girls do look a lot nicer than I'd expected.
