Case in point: these new Playmates Toys figures based on Godzilla vs. Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.
I’ve talked about the bag clips before, but now that there are actual figures of these designs? It’s a little mind-blowing.
Like I said before, I haven’t even read the comics yet. I’m tempted, but I’ve been holding off. Still, as a fan of this stuff, this hits some very specific part of my brain I can’t quite explain.
Pure euphoria?
Yeah… something like that.
I’ve always had a huge soft spot for Rodan, going all the way back to my old Shogun Warriors toy as a kid. So seeing him reimagined as a Ranger—and of course as the Red Ranger—is just incredible.
And it works.
The design is such a perfect blend. The Rodan-inspired helmet is full-on monster and packed with character. The scaled body armor looks natural, and those wings coming off his back just sell the whole thing.
This feels like something that should have always existed.
Alright, let’s talk accessories so I’m not just saying “this is awesome” over and over again… even though it is.
He comes with the Red Ranger’s Power Sword and the Blade Blaster, which can be displayed in both blaster and blade modes. There’s also a display stand shaped like his Morpher Medallion, embossed with the Rodan symbol that Toho uses for the classic character.
That detail is so cool. I tried to show it off in the photos—and I was probably more impressed by it than any reasonable person should be.
I… love this thing.
Like, seriously love it.
This isn’t a constructive post.
It’s me fawning over a toy.
