Yellow Ranger with Skirt in Mighty Morphin Hero Power Pack

I posted this pic last week on the toy section of PR and also on my post about battle bikes and I didn't notice this...

Some one posted this bigger picture of the Hero power Pack. I didn't notice that the Yellow Ranger had a skirt.

Clearly these are the figures from....

this figure pack (the Wal-Mart one had white diamonds and other packs in other stores have had gold or silver diamonds on the chests) where the back of the figures have not been painted and the Green Ranger's boot cuffs have not been painted either. Clearly they reused the mold of the Pink Ranger and just slapped a Yellow R. head on it. Funny Enough, some stores sell these figures separately now.

This is the regular 4" inch Yellow Ranger figure. I had mentioned in a past post how some Yellow Rangers that had no skirts on the show were given skirts in promotional stuff (Like the Lightspeed Yellow Ranger that got a skirt for her McDonalds toy and a drawing on the food bag) but MMPR Yellow never got a skirt in official merchandise, tie-ins, promos or toys before.

Also in past posts I have mentioned why 5 of the past Yellow Rangers had no skirts in the past----mainly because they were men and Saban changed the Yellow Rangers to girls to not leave a lone girl with four men (which eventually happened with Ninja Storm and Dino Thunder). I didn't want to get this pack before but I now I might get it for this lack of detail. I haven't mention this before but I think part of the reason Yellow Rangers have been converted from male to female (most yellow warriors in Sentai are male) is because Yellow is seen as a 'weak' or 'feminine' color in western culture. In Baby's clothes, Yellow is rarely seen for boys. In fact, my mom blames my gayness on that she dressed me in yellow as a baby!

    The first male Yellow Ranger is Tideus of the Alien Rangers), race or different planet doesn't count.

    First male yellow in PR, yes. But then again, he was some sort of fish. Probably tropical. And those are known to change their sex.

    Topic: Ofcourse Yellow has a skirt, because Bandai America is cheap.

    Someone becoming gay because of yellow sounds silly.

    And Saban's policies clearly backfired with their adaption of Timeranger into Timeforce, given how Domon was build...

    On the subject of the yellow baby clothes, I remember cosplaying as Pocahontas as a kid. You have nothing on me. I would have dressed as the Pink Ranger if I had the chance, too!
