That detail was impeccably captured in this line and makes the team stand out from all others at nary a glance. One of the unique aspects of the Dino Charge uniforms is the dinosaur scaling on the arms that features slightly different shades of each ranger’s color. I was particularly impressed by the details on the arms. Painting details of that level seem to be reserved for Figuarts. These are not unfamiliar problems but they are ones I would love to see solved in future assortments. The Dino Charge team is also supposed to feature silver claws on their gloves and while this feature is molded in, the gloves are painted all white. The intricacies of the belt buckles and backs are all included, however, both are painted a flat, silver-ish gray. Each ranger’s dinosaur symbol is slightly raised which is a nice, screen accurate detail. The helmet details and chest symbols are perfectly detailed. The paint application on each figure is mostly satisfactory. One can only hope that this is the new standard going forward as opposed to the four inch figures from the Megaforce line of 2013. Standing at five inches and just a hair taller than the Super Megaforce figures, both lines look quite natural together. If you bought this line last year and had a positive experience with it, then you’ll be pleased to know that Bandai listened to your approval. Like the packaging, the figures are very much in line with their immediate predecessors. By not having the plastic completely glued to the card, it’s much easier to store the clean cards. For a collector who likes to keep the cards, this is a much-appreciated upgrade. It’s interesting to note that these packages were clearly finalized prior to the show’s filming as the Red and Green Dino Charge Rangers are incorrectly named Quinn and Lucas, respectively.īandai has gotten in the habit of attaching the plastic packaging to the cards via taped tabs meaning that they can be opened with only a few simple cuts, thus preserving the card. Along those lines, the Dino Charge cards feature an individualized photo and short bio for the individual ranger. The big trend that I utterly adored from the anniversary figures of the Super Megaforce line was the back of each card being customized according to the figure. However, I have always picked up the basic figures and I’m happy to say that this year’s assortment is one of the more eye-catching in recent memory. I’ve always been one to pick and choose in a more selective manner just what I purchase from the Power Rangers line each year. I’m not going to buy everything available because: A) I don’t have that much disposable income, and B) I like to spend a nice chunk of what I do have on importing a lot of Super Sentai merchandise. I like to consider myself somewhat of a more discerning collector. My parents couldn’t always afford Megazords, but for me, the basic action figures were a must every year. If there is one constant in the Power Rangers franchise, it’s the basic action figures assortment. Power Rangers Dino Charge Toy Review: 5″ Action Figures
