Beast Morphers, Unleash The Wacky Wall Beast


Hey, know how I was at the Dollar Tree the other day? Well, I also got some more Wall Walkers. I had been getting the Transformers variety and if I liked current WWE performers (I don't) I'd probably grab some of those. They're a silly fun blind bag toy for a buck each. I didn't expect to see Beast Morphers in the selection and the surprise of it made me shit my pants. Not literally, I'm joking. You gave to spell things out for people sometimes.


I grabbed four packs. These aren't the kind of blind bag I go crazy over and try to complete the set. These are the kind I'll grab a couple of and hope I don't get too many doubles. Speaking off, I'm like 4 ghosts away from completing the Scooby-Doo Playmobil series and each new shelf box has new codes... it's pretty frustrating. Dammit. Just like the others in the Wall Walker toys at Dollar Tree, the Beast Morpher versions are colored plastic with decals to distinguish each character. The body shape of the walker doesn't look too silly on the Power Rangers as they're people in spandex normally. In fact they make for pretty good representations.


I got two Blaze's, one Roxy, and one Blue Ranger. Not bad. If I were to get two of a Beast Morpher, I'd rather it be Blaze. I like him the most out of the characters. His bat armor looks cool. Just like the Transformers versions, I'll be grabbing a few of these on trips in the Dollar Tree. I've really liked Beast Morphers, it's in it's mid-season break of it's last season. I'm sure I'll enjoy Dino Fury next year, but currently I'm just not as excited for it as I've been for Beast Morphers. Guess I'll just have to throw it to the wall and see if it sticks.

Press Enter To Start Blaze

Beast Morphers has came back for it's second season and boy are my arms tired. Wait, what? Anyway, the gangs back for a new season and it's a welcome one. Beast Morphers has been really fun so far and something I like to see continue. One of my favorite characters of the first season was Blaze. Blaze was far from the first 'bad guy' Ranger, but it's a trope I've always enjoyed. Admittedly what I liked best was his costume. Using Enter's Dark Buster suit from Go Busters, Blaze looked like some futuristic vampire from a 16 bit Konami game.
I'd put a spoiler warning here, but the information's been spread far and wide since the end of season one. Blaze returns in season two as Robo Blaze using Enter's regular outfit. The costume is absolutely awesome, and now he matches Roxy's use of the Escape costume. Frankly, I prefer the season one costume. My love of spooky shit is no secret and the bat theme made for a great Halloween themed ranger. Robo Blaze does look cool though. Instead of that great bat theme, he looks more at home in the King's Musketeers under the lead of Luis the XIII. Not to mention, I like the goggles he and Roxy sport.

Beast Morpher Gold Ranger revealed

Thanks to the official preview of this weeks Beast Morphers, not only do we find out the Gold Ranger will be making his first appearance on the show, but who it is.

*edit* The ongoing drama surrounding the new Gold Ranger that's been going on is something I find ridiculous and unacceptably toxic. I won't support any of the negativity nor will I purposely give it any attention. I thought Abraham Rodriguez has done great on Beast Morphers so far and will enjoy him as the Gold Ranger.

Beast Morphin Time

It's here!
After the long wait since it's reveal last year, Beast Morphers is finally on TV and soon on toy shelves. Zone Base readers know I've been really excited for this series and rest assured my DVR is set to record each episode. Currently my plan is to talk about the show on this months episode of Transform Squadron, but you know I'm all hyped up and just can't wait.

That's some sharp packaging
Images of the figures keep coming out and man they look great. Hasbro has really knocked it out of the park so far with these toys. They look awesome and I'm looking forward to see them hanging from the pegs at my local stores. I'm surprised to find the general foot solder for the bad guys, Tronic, to be whom I'm most interested in in the first wave.
It's hard not to love the way that looks. Those neat hand weapons, that sharp pink contrasting against the gray, and that fantastic silver mask. It's just a great look that translates well into an action figure. So far Beast Morphers is falling into the same mental category for me as a Konami arcade game in the early 90's. Just that same rad mix of colors and electricity in a crazy beat 'em up sci fi fantasy. It's so hard not to like this early going in, I can only hope a year from now it continues this trend. It's hard not to like a mojo like this.
If it's a tiny rubber toy in a blind box, you know I'm sold
I'm really antsy for the Micro Morphers and Playskool toys to come as that's likely the bulk of where my Ranger toy buying will be. The variety of Ranger characters and generations in what's one of my favorite type of toy to buy is impossible to resist. I can see a weekend where I just drop 20-30$ on Micro Morphers, come home, and open them while watching Rangers on Netflix or Tubi. If you follow me on Instagram, you'll see these adventures take place most likely. Ultimately it's looking like a great time is on the horizon and a great time is something I always have the time for.
