Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Action Vinyls - Stealth Edition

Hey, everyone! Mike here, and on a recent visit to Hot Topic, I came across something that got me very, very excited. Here, have a look.


That there is a Hot Topic Exclusive Power Rangers Action Vinyl by a company called The Loyal Subjects from Los Angeles. I had never seen a Power Rangers blind box toy before, so I just had to pick it up. Here's a better look at the design on the front of the box.


On the sides of the box, I was shown that there are 8 possible figures I could get. Here they are.


Personally, I really wanted either the Yellow Ranger or the Green Ranger. However, I would have been happy with anyone.

When I opened the box, I found a silver bag with great Power Rangers designs on both the front and back. Check'em out.


So, who did I end up getting? Here's what I found when I opened the silver bag.


YES! It was the Green Ranger! Woohoo! Here's the figure with all the accessories laid out.


Yes, Tommy's ponytail is removable. Ha ha! And, here's a better look at the figure from the front and the back.



The details are phenomenal for such a small vinyl figure. The black parts that make up the "Stealth Edition" components look great. The build quality is also pretty high as the figure and its accessories feel quite sturdy. I especially love that the helmet actually fits on the figure's head and is not just another head, making it an actual helmet for the figure.


My only criticism is that despite there being quite a few points of articulation, which is great, I found the knee joints to be a little poorly thought out. They just allow you to turn the bottom half of the legs horizontally, but do not allow for any bending, making it awkward when trying to stand the figure up. This is very evident in the shot of the back of the figure above.

All in all, this is an incredible collectible vinyl figure and I would highly recommend you get one if you're a fan of Power Rangers.
