Two Red Ranger headsets?! You can't both be the Red Ranger! Only I, the older brother, possess the testicular fortitude to be the Red Ranger. You, the much weaker and dumber younger brother, must be the Blue Ranger.
Yeah yeah, go cry to Mom. You think she cares what color power ranger you are, Jimmy? She doesn't! She's passed out on the couch again! Shut up, Jimmy, your gonna wake her up and she'll be pissed!
The playground trauma this stirs up…my…god…
Found the little brother.
Screw that green ranger is best anyway
I wish I could be as excited for anything as this woman was for these toys. She even got the big box, which I'm assuming was the megazord. If so, that thing was EXPENSIVE!!! I knew kids that had the smaller one, but never the big one.
In modern dollars, it would be like $400, and no parent was spending that on some plastic toy their kid would surely grow out of in 3-5 years.
I took for granted how my family prioritized this kind of happiness for me as a kid. We were solidly blue collar, middle class but somehow they always, ALWAYS got me the complete lineup of the PR action figures when they came out, even when they were sold out. Maybe those 3 am Black Friday mad dashes.
My cousins and friends, who couldn’t afford such “luxuries,” would get upset at me that I didn’t appreciate what I had. In retrospect, I didn’t. What I lacked in emotional warmth and acceptance, they gave to me in torrents in gifts.
Sorry for the gloom. Power Rangers holds a very special place in my childhood.
Super Sentai is better
American adaptations are like americanised versions of meals from other countries, they kind of look like it and have no substance of what made it great
I forgot how much they sucked, honestly. Look at the Red Ranger's box art, they couldn't even bring themselves to use a fake action pose, bro's just goose stepping!
Meanwhile the Spider-Man action figures had like twenty joints.
