00:00Alright, hey everybody. Now you guys may be wondering, what is this video about? If you

00:07didn't read the title. Um, but yeah. So, you guys may remember, uh, from years ago, if

00:18you've been following this channel for a while, I think the videos are still up, so you can

00:24watch them. Um, ten years ago, when it was airing, I got the Zord toys and the Morpher

00:32as well from Power Rangers Super Megaforce. Um, the toy line was mostly fine, uh, in regards

00:41to that for Super Megaforce. Um, I would say, uh, the thing though is like, um, Morpher

00:50sucked. I was gonna say that in terms of the mold and everything. Sucked ass. The keys

00:56were made like a third smaller. A third of the size smaller. Um, and from the Japanese

01:04toys, these are not the same mold as the Japanese toys. They redid them, Bandai redid them,

01:11and uh, yeah, made them slightly, like, smaller. Took out any electronics that were in them

01:17and just made them less special. Plus, if you haven't noticed yet, they did not paint

01:25certain details into these that they really should have. Uh, so I'm gonna compare the

01:30Delta Runner to the Gokaiger version. Now, this both has, um, electronics. You can see

01:39the, there we go. The electronics are in it. And uh, patch tracker, there we go. And

01:54uh, the Delta Runner here does not have nearly as many paint apps or even just stickers.

02:01Um, most of the paint apps are there, it's just that it doesn't have the rainbow right

02:05here, it doesn't have the pirate symbol, it doesn't have the SPD symbol for some reason

02:10on either the front or the back. And yeah, otherwise I think it's mostly fine. For some

02:17reason they extended the um, the nozzles I guess, for where the cannons were I guess,

02:24or guns or whatever. But yeah, um, and for some reason this is like, this isn't as long

02:31as the Japanese version, but it's also slightly like, thicker? Or not thicker, like wider.

02:37So yeah. And that goes throughout the entire toyline, unfortunately. I don't have the other

02:43Japanese versions of the Max, I do want to get them, but yeah. I don't have their other

02:48Japanese versions. Um, but uh, the one thing that really pisses me off is mainly with the

03:00uh, Turbo Falcon. Now here's the stupid thing, they molded, and this goes for like, a lot

03:07of Bandai Zords and everything, and even the uh, the roleplay items. Even Hasbro does the

03:13same thing, it's just that they um, they tend to, I think, have a little bit more paint

03:19in them, or at the very least, stickers. Um, so yeah. With the Turbo Falcon, they completely

03:29did not paint or even just sticker, um, the inside of this. Um, I'm trying to remember

03:39how to do the, like, transformation? Um, for this, um, just so I can show you guys-

03:50okay that's, I think? I cannot for the life of me remember. But I'm trying, I'm very much

04:01trying to remember where all of these go, um. Uh, right, I completely forgot about that.

04:23Right, because they made this into a Megazord, I completely forgot about that. Um, yeah,

04:31this'll be, this is usually the inside of it, I believe. Just look, they molded the

04:35detail in, but they did not paint these worth a damn, or just give stickers to them. I don't

04:43understand that whatsoever. And then I think the next one to fall really short next to

04:50the Turbo Falcon is, sorry all the dust on this, I've had these in bins for the last

04:55however many years. Um, before that I think they were on, like, shelves. But yeah. The,

05:03uh, Mystic Dragon is what it's called. This does not have a ton of paint or stickers applied

05:12to it outside of what they needed to. This is supposed to have the pirate symbol, I believe

05:17the wings are supposed to have, um, various details and everything that are in the show,

05:23and they're on the Japanese versions. Like, Bandai Japan actually bothered to paint theirs,

05:27whereas we didn't get a ton of paint. That doesn't make any sense to me. We're gonna just,

05:32even just stickers would have been fine. So, what did I buy? For 40 bucks, you can get all

05:39of these decal stickers. Um, from BD-15. This is for, obviously, the Delta Runner. We got this

05:49for the, uh, Red Lion. This is for the Mystic Dragon. We got this, uh, I do not have it,

06:00but we have, this is for the, um, the Mini Ninja Zord. Um, still haven't bought it. I

06:08planned to at some point on, like, eBay or something. Uh, but you can also see the fact

06:13that, like, they didn't paint the, uh, the wings on it, which are, are the shuriken.

06:19But yeah. And then, we have these. Look at how many details they left unpainted.

06:26That's so, so bad. But yeah. Um, and I also need to say this, in regards to the main zords,

06:35they didn't even bother to paint certain things. Like, they painted, like, the main details and

06:38everything, and everything's casted in a, um, like, different color plastic. But they have

06:47these pirate, they have the pirate symbols that don't have a lot of paint tax on them,

06:53and yeah, you can see them. They're molded in, but they didn't bother to have the factories that

07:01they got these from, or they had made, make these for them, paint them. Also, something I just need

07:07to note, I don't necessarily know if this is just this it might be, but this just hasn't held up

07:15over the last 20 years as well as it should have. But yeah, I think the same could possibly be said

07:21for the Q-Rex, um, as it's called. Uh, just ignore all the, uh, dust. But yeah, um, although

07:32that doesn't, this doesn't look like it needs a ton of extra paint, so kind of good on that. I

07:39think everything was casted in the color plastic it needed to be, and then they painted the right

07:47amount of detail. Like, the, in the show for both Super Megaforce and Gokaiger,

07:53uh, the Q-Rex, as it's called, as it's called in Super Megaforce and Gojuujin and, and Gokaiger, um,

08:03didn't have a ton of different paint apps that would have been needed for the toys.

08:08But yeah, so what I'm going to be doing is applying these stickers, and, um, yeah,

08:16they are vinyl stickers, um, if you guys remember, I will get it in the next part, um, of the video.

08:24I got decal stickers for the Hasbro Dyno, MMPR Dyno Megazord, um, and I applied those,

08:34makes it look a ton better just from all the extra detail the stickers have in them.

08:39So yeah, so I'm going to pause here, and we will be back in a moment.

08:46Okay, so after probably a fade transition, I am back about an hour after I started recording,

08:53or actually, I think it's probably more than that, after I started recording that last video,

08:58or actually no, probably an hour. Um, so yeah, so some of these were easier to apply than others,

09:05and I'm just going to do a showcase. I didn't record myself, like,

09:08applying the stickers or anything, so I'm just going to show you guys where the stickers are on

09:14these. So in terms of the Red Lion, you have two stickers, um, on the legs right here, the front

09:21legs, uh, that go over, uh, what were there, which were technically like the same symbols,

09:28only smaller. I'm assuming the people who made these decal stickers made them bigger to match

09:35the size of the others, as well as probably to match what's on the Japanese toy a bit better,

09:42as well as these, um, these stickers that go on the upper back legs. Um, so yeah, it's just a

09:51subtle thing, but yeah, there's not really much you can do with the, uh, Red Lion for this, because

10:00mainly it's just a more simplified version of the Japanese toy, especially since, well,

10:06they didn't even bother giving this a cover like the Japanese toy had, and they took out the

10:11electronics. So yeah, so that's about it. Next simplest, I think, is the Delta Runner. Uh,

10:19you can see now, however, it is pretty comparable with these stickers, is pretty comparable to the

10:24Japanese version, although due to the stickers versus the paint on the actual toy, you can see

10:32where some of these are not the same shade, uh, as the paint. Uh, black on the back is not actually

10:41that bad if it's from a distance. The white here, though, is a very different shade of white and

10:46still, and the gold here too, this is more of a kind of a mustardy yellow to a gold, whereas the

10:52actual bag is like a sort of darker gold, but you have this nice, like, rainbow pattern, yeah,

10:59rainbow pattern here, which was on the Japanese one, is in the show, and yeah, so it just makes it

11:05more show accurate. Next up, we have the, um, Mystic Dragon, and this one, I, if I could offer some

11:15constructive criticism and feedback, shrink these a little bit because, um, or just cut more into

11:22them. They do not properly fit, um, inside right here, um, but that's about all I have for this.

11:32The other ones, uh, they fit pretty well. So, you have these right here, I think there probably

11:38could have been some more detailing right here too, but I don't know, I don't even know if that's

11:41on the Japanese toy, so, yeah, um, but you have these right here that are really good, these rainbow,

11:48like, effects with the pirate, um, symbol. Then, on the wings, you have, um, the, uh, again, the, uh,

11:58rainbow with the pirate symbol. These gold stickers, I actually ripped, uh, this one a little bit

12:05because I was applying it with a screwdriver, but then you have these, uh, red stickers as well, and

12:14they just liven it up, and yeah, you have them on both sides. You can tell which ones I, uh, which

12:21ones of these I applied first because of how, like, crude they are, and I got more comfortable with

12:26doing that. Yeah, then you have these red stickers that go on the sides here, then you have these

12:30black stickers which are on top here, on the back of the neck, and back, um, the side of the neck,

12:37his hands, and the feet. Didn't really need to include some of these, but glad that they did,

12:43and the pirate symbol. So yeah, I'm thinking because, uh, the, uh, I believe the team that

12:49was making the show was told by Saban to tone down, and probably even Bandai, to tone down the

12:55pirate aspects of the show from Gokaiger, when they were adapting it into Power Rangers, that, um,

13:04pretty sure that they, they didn't, they either didn't paint the pirate symbols where they were

13:10molded onto the toys, or they just didn't include them in the paint apps, and yeah, and also a very

13:16subtle one, the Mystic Force symbol is right there. That was kind of dumb not to at least mold it in,

13:22but yeah, so glad that that got fixed. Now the one that I think, again, I don't have the, um,

13:31the Ninja Zord, probably buy that on eBay at some point, but, um, the Turbo Falcon,

13:38as it's called in Super Megaforce, um, you can tell how many stickers there were here on the

13:45sticker sheet, um, that were applied, and, uh, not for a lack of, um, necessity, so yeah. So let's

13:58start off with the easiest stickers, so you have these, these are black stickers that go in here,

14:03um, you kind of need something to help you get those in there, so yeah. Next up, more subtle

14:09stickers, the flames, I don't know necessarily if these were painted a while ago, or if they were,

14:14or if it's like a, like a duller, like, ink that got used here, but these are not yellow with, like,

14:21an orange flame on the inside, like the other, some of the other stickers, um, I just don't know

14:26what happened there. But, uh, yeah, then you get these flames right here, you get the engine

14:32stickers right there, on the side you get ES System, I'm assuming that means something in

14:36Galandria terms, uh, you get the ones right here with the flames on either side, then it says

14:41formula. I'm not gonna lie in regards to some of these, I understand why they left them off.

14:48You don't really need these stickers that say engine, or even, like, a painting that says

14:53engine, or the ES System, or formula, or whatever. I am, however, very surprised, and these, like,

14:59flames you don't necessarily need there, but I am very surprised that they left, um, the flames off

15:07where they should have been, and it's not like they didn't have stickers, I'm pretty sure this

15:11is a sticker, maybe? Maybe that's paint, I don't know. But yeah, also another thing that I completely

15:17forgot about until right now, this, this is a sticker right here, uh, badly fitted. Shrink these

15:22a little bit as well, um, I think that would be better, or cut them a little bit, um, or less

15:28close to it, but this is really helpful. Next, you have the inside here. This, I don't understand why

15:36at least the, the, like, yellow gold color wasn't painted. It doesn't make any sense to me why it

15:42wasn't. The black, I can kind of understand, the yellow, not even remotely. I just, why? And here's

15:50also the thing, they have this detail right here, which I believe is a symbol of go on red, slash

15:55RPM red. It doesn't make any sense to me why they couldn't have included some of these things on,

16:02especially when they painted the pirate symbol black. I don't, you paint the pirate symbol on

16:07this one, but you don't include much of the other detail. And here is the number one thing that

16:13very much pissed me off and disappointed me, uh, when I first got this ship back in 2014.

16:20Um, so, open this up.

16:31Finally, um,

16:37oh my god.

16:45Anyways, uh,

16:50so,

17:10okay.

17:15I hate that. You like that? But, this is much better. I do not understand whatsoever why there

17:26weren't at least stickers for this detailing on the inside here. This doesn't make any sense to

17:33me whatsoever, because it's like, it makes it look so much better, especially when, um,

17:40this ship specifically goes inside the main Megazord. Let me just show you guys,

17:46so you get what I'm saying here.

17:52God, I hate the US toys, or the US keys. Um, so,

18:00you have this.

18:06Put this in here.

18:10Points in this form. That is so much better. Like, it actually looks good.

18:18I don't understand whatsoever what the thought process when they were designing the US version

18:24of this toy was. It doesn't make any sense to me. For Muck Falcon slash Turbo Falcon.

18:31Or Muck Alcom? I don't know, I think they pronounce it without the F, but technically

18:37I think it's supposed to have the F, because it's like a poor man's tail, but I don't know.

18:41Uh, but anyways, so that,

18:46that majorly, like, disappointed and pissed me off back in 2014. I'm like,

18:54you got, it makes the toys, uh, less show accurate. I bet even a bunch of kids

19:04that were way younger than me, who were actually the prime age demographic, or target age demographic,

19:10for Power Rangers at the time, would have been a mix of confused and let down by that,

19:20because they would have seen that, and they would have been like, where's all the detailing?

19:25The stupid thing is, all the detailing is molded into this shit. Like,

19:33I think I showed it a bit ago, or in the first part of this video, and I recorded it. Oh my god,

19:39I hate this so much. It keeps coming undone, and I hate it. The fact that they had to make this

19:47into its own separate Megazord to try and sell it. It's like, this is an auxiliary Zord,

19:52you were selling the other Zords fine without an additional Megazord formation. You don't,

19:57you didn't need to do this. But anyways, um, like, uh, I showed this a bit ago, I believe.

20:06Uh, the, the, like, places for the detailing were molded in here. That's all, or, and, like,

20:14weren't filled in by anything, and it's so real, it's so dumb. This was cast even in a black

20:19plastic. I don't, just paint it a little bit. Like, god, right here, this should have been

20:25painted yellow, like it is in the show, and it is on this sticker. I don't understand that

20:30whatsoever. You'd have some detail here, you don't necessarily have to have it as detailed as this,

20:35but you could have just had some yellow with some orange and red. You could have easily just done

20:39that. Or just print out a sticker sheet and have your people apply them. That doesn't make any

20:47sense whatsoever to me. And on top of that, the screws were still, like, visible in the screw holes.

20:58I just, that is the one thing that I just, about this toy line that I just did not understand.

21:09Okay, shrink the keys and shrink them more for a third of the size,

21:13because the primary age demographic is children, age is 7, like, 10 or 12, and

21:22whatever. Okay, I understand that. I do not understand, however,

21:28ignoring obvious paint apps that are supposed to be there.

21:32That doesn't make any sense to me whatsoever, and it's like,

21:37that, that just, that's just, like, why? Why Bandai? Why did you do that? Like,

21:49people currently, I think because of Hasbro's, like, semi-failings and, like, inconsistencies

21:57with the franchise have, like, they've started in the last several years to look back on Bandai U.S.

22:04Bandai U.S. with rose tinted glasses. It's like, you guys realize that from Samurai to Ninja Steel,

22:13shit started going very inconsistent in quality for the main line. The only good shit,

22:19most of the time, was, like, the, uh, the, like, the Legacy stuff, you know? Uh, although I do

22:27admit the Super Megaforce Morpher, or not Super Megaforce, the regular Megaforce Morpher, the

22:32Gosei Morpher, was actually pretty good. Like, that's probably their best Morpher in, uh, the

22:38Neo Saban era. So yeah, because the Super Megaforce one sucked. It was shrunk down, the mold was

22:46changed from the Gokaiger version badly, and yeah. So yeah, so I'm going to just, uh, also talk about,

22:58uh, and I did a video on these when I got them. The, I also got BD-15 decals last year, I believe,

23:06when I got this. The Hasbro, the sort of cheaper, like, $50, um, if you buy it on Amazon,

23:14with all of them together in one box. Uh, Dino Megazord, the, like, cheaper version, I guess,

23:21than the Lightning Collection version. Uh, these stickers still hold up pretty well a year later,

23:29over a year later. Um, so yeah, and it's just that this does, because it was on my shelf.

23:36But, these, I think they did a better job, uh, designing for the most part, in regards to, um,

23:44everything, and I probably could have applied some of them better, but otherwise,

23:48they hold up pretty well, all things considered. Um, so yeah, um, they add a lot of detail to this.

23:58I kind of wish that they had, well actually no, I don't really know what the Megazord,

24:05the main Megazord is missing, that they could have really had these to improve upon, so yeah,

24:12it's just missing some paint taps, uh, on the pirate symbols mainly, so I don't know. Um,

24:21but yeah, uh, I do recommend these if you have these toys and you don't, or you haven't done

24:27this yet. Um, they are $40 for all the Auxiliary Zord, um, stickers, all that bundle. Uh, they're

24:37individually like $5, I believe, on BD-15, but to get them all together I think would be a little

24:44bit less than if you were to get them separately. Um, and I do recommend these, again, if you want

24:51to do that. I believe as well, the ones with the Dino Megazord are also $40, I, I kind of get it,

24:57I kind of don't, could have been a little bit less, but otherwise, yeah. Um, so if you have

25:04either the Hasbro Dino Megazord, MMPR Dino Megazord, or these Auxiliary Zords from Super

25:11Megaforce, I do recommend getting the stickers, because at the very least, um, they add some life

25:18and some well-needed detail where Bandai really should have put it. Okay, so underneath I'm just

25:26gonna say, I don't necessarily really care if, like, that they didn't put this, um, like paint

25:34dash down here on these wings, but I think they should have put like a sticker here and here for

25:40those, because, you know, uh, and as well as the, like, the Mystic Force symbol really should have

25:47been here. Um, but other than that, maybe some of the black detailing here could have been here,

25:52but, um, yeah, they could have easily applied some stickers there and there, and that would

25:57have been fine. The Delta Runner, I genuinely don't understand why the SPD symbols at the very

26:02least weren't there, and the pirate symbol, I don't necessarily mind that the rainbow wasn't

26:08there in the first place, but, yeah, and the, the, uh, Red Lion, um, realistically says there's only,

26:16like, four stickers in total. Don't know what else they could have done for it, considering that

26:21the way they redesigned them all, not great, but at the same time, it's, like, not terrible,

26:26and they didn't include what they needed to on it. The, uh, Ninja Zord, though, definitely,

26:33they, like, it looks like they completely ignored the red, um, pirate symbols there. They ignored

26:39the stuff on the feet and other things. Um, at the very least, the things on the shuriken wings

26:45should have been there, and it looks like, as well, they screwed up on doing the, um,

26:50the Ninja Storm symbol, so, yeah, because otherwise, they, um, the people who designed

26:57these wouldn't have put these there, but, yeah, it really just, it really just, uh, bums me out that

27:06fans have to do certain things rather than the companies that give us the products.

27:11So dumb. But, yeah, so, basically, that's it. Um, I have a video in the works for the 10th

27:20anniversary of Super Megaforce, comparing it to Gokaiger. I'm, like, probably a quarter to a third

27:27of the way through scripting it, um, and it's gonna be more of a scripted and edited video,

27:33um, so, yeah, I need to get back to doing that, um, but, yeah, so, uh, yeah, and it's gonna be,

27:41it's gonna be a, it's gonna be a project. Let me tell you, it's gonna be a video. But, yeah, so,

27:47if you guys, um, enjoyed this video, uh, yeah, just go check out BD15 Decals and Props.

27:56They have, um, these stickers, and, yeah, if you do have these toys and you want to spruce them up

28:04a bit, there you go. Again, this is 10 years after, and, yeah, some of the, some of the,

28:10some of the design aspects of the toys I really don't like, but otherwise, um, yeah, like the

28:18fact that they turned the Turbo Falcon into its own Megazord, they gave it its own Megazord form,

28:25which I just, I'm not necessarily against it, but the way that they did it sucks, um,

28:33and then, uh, because they took out the electronics, they also took out the slots

28:38and just molded them in for what were supposed to be for engine cells.

28:43Granted, I think they also took the electronics out of the original engine cells when they did

28:47RPM, so, yeah, not that I necessarily would have expected electronics to be in it, but I think

28:54not having the slots in for, uh, engine cells and then including engine cells, I think that

29:00that was a big missed opportunity, uh, considering the, the Gokaiger version hasn't, so yeah. So,

29:05at some point, I am probably going to get all the Gokai, the rest of the Gokaiger toys, um,

29:12but, yeah, it just, I don't know, it just very much bums me out that, like,

29:19Bandai U.S. couldn't have given us a little bit more paint or sewn stickers, it doesn't make any

29:24sense to me. But, yeah, so, really not much else to say, so, like, subscribe if you haven't already,

29:29subscribe if you haven't already, and I'll see you guys in the next one.
