So, wait, how do the three mecha combine?
ReplyDeleteThe design is alright. Its just that when I first saw them, the helmets kinda looked like hoods. Together with the big gold ski googles, shoulder pads that look like backpack straps and what looks to be a zipper down Red's front, well, at first I thought these were some sort of "Arctic Explorer" Action Figure Variant.
ReplyDeleteOff course we did just get a heavy snowfall up in my neck of the woods today so its possible I just have winter on the brain.
The design itself is well balanced and I do like the subtly of the animal motif in the helmets. I guess I don't know what I was expect given the "spy/episonage" theme of this series. Its hard to hear "spy" without thinking of a James Bond tuxedo, Emma Peel catsuit or Sam Spade's trenchcoat and fedora getup. Those would probably be next to impossible to incorporate into a ranger suit.
Omg Erik. I didn't notice it because I'm in Florida. But now that u said it I see it does look like snow equipment. Pretty cool. Its kinda cold here btw.
ReplyDeleteI was reading on Henshin Justice, and apparently people have found info implying possibly a Ghost in the Shell-ish story idea.
ReplyDeleteAlso, they've got two more scans, the combined mech and the changers:

I really don't like these costumes, which is saying something since I've liked pretty much every costume aside from Boukenger. I think my biggest problem is the pants, they just don't mesh well to me.
ReplyDeleteBehold Mighty Morphin Parka Rangers or Power Rangers: Ski Instructors! haha.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm from Michigan myself. I have plenty of relatives in Flordia, but for some reason they never come up to visit.
Red Buster <3
ReplyDeleteBut it's a mix of Gekiranger, Go-onger and Metal Heroes
awful costumes! no pink = no success!
ReplyDeletei hope the yellow ranger is male
ReplyDeleteReally liking these, a friend looked over my shoulder and said "The rabbit thing looks like R2D2 had a baby with Pikachu" :P
ReplyDeleteI am interested in the whole spy motif and hope the tone isn't to campy. Granted seeing these also makes me sad how little time we have left with Marvelous and his crew :(
