ASTRO MEGAZORD - Power Rangers Lightning Collection Zord Ascension Project | VIDEO REVIEW

[@callump1996]

Something to note is If you pull the feet out downward it reveals a ball joint for ankle movement.

[@zoretorjenkins]

I was about to say that what kills this figure for me is the lack of ankle tilt 😅

[@Red_Kaiju_Lord]

Here’s hoping for a ZAP Delta Megazord that can combine with this!

[@D.E.S_CT]

fyi concerning ankle articulation they're is a drop down ball joint for both feet just. you got to wiggle them down to reveal it

[@Mr.Funk92]

Love the detail on these ZAP figures. They are not perfect, but nice updates to the originals. Just wish they would put more money into articulation, rather than the box.

[@SuperGamefreak18]

That is so true a nice box is great but the toy should be a priority but it’s more mobile than the old standard megazords

[@patricklove7055]

He did miss a bit of the articulation in the video. The feet are meant to be pulled down which gives it ankle tilt and some rotation. There is also an ab crunch. This one looks so much better than the ZAP Dino Megazord.

[@obsessivefanboy7]

I don't think they need more articulation, I think they need better quality plastic at least the Zap Dino megazord and Dragonzord.

[@dracoknight92]

Seems like you got the rare female black ranger mini figure 😂

[@terogates1]

Is that actually a thing? Lol that’s kinda cool like a chase variant

[@BFBeast666]

Balt's having a Nerdgasm. So wholesome!❤

[@benjaminwiseman6567]

Easily the best ZAP item so far, but I do worry about the vac metal holding up. Even original Bandai Zords with vac metal flake over time, and Hasbro's vac metal was never as robust as Bandai's.

[@Iruleyoufail]

This figure is incredibly nostalgic for some reason. Maybe because of the sheer size to an adult collector reflects on having the DX figure in hand as a child. It doesn't help that Space is a season that I have fond memories as a kid especially being scared of the Barillian Bug episode and the Psycho Rangers.

[@Riley-ub2tf]

I love how when he sees anything he’s reacting like it’s an ASMR video or he’s a little kid again unboxing this during his birthday or Christmas

[@TheStrscrm]

Megaranger is one of my favorite Super Sentais, and i'm very impressed on how good this figure is! Even Bandai didn't make a figure this quality!

[@cyberextreme86]

I Hope We Get More.

[@checob224]

Idk about quality because the quality of the original Bandai release is way superior to this one, and I'm not talking about the look but the quality of the plastic.

[@DeamonChocobo]

Mine has some weird QC Issues. Like one arms ratchet is misaligned so it's never properly parallel with the body or straight in Ship Mode. The other arms ratchet had a ded zone in that spot but if you keep it there it will actually get stuck and require a lot of force to rotate it.

[@Kytori95]

Firstly for the blasters on the ship, they just pop out, and in theory you could plug any transformers weapon in there! For those that are having issues with the clips stressing/breaking, I think I've figured out the root cause, because opening the front is quite tight, I think that's causing the whole thing to push, I'd recommend disengaging the arms from the legs/megaship body before opening the front in order to avoid any stressing! - Side note, I've found the best way to open the front is to snap down like you're breaking a biscuit, the clips split off really easily without risk of damage, then fold in! Also, the feet do pull out and are in fact on ball joints. They're just a little tight to begin with! Hope this info helps. Great review :)

[@kingnewcomer2029]

Honestly, as gorgeous as this Megazord is, and as much as I would LOVE to buy it, I absolutely HATE how Hasbro has recently made one of the most stupidest, virtue signaling decisions ever by somehow being more "environmentally friendly" by removing all plastic windows from all their toy brands' packaging, which either just leaves them fully exposed to dust, dirt, grime, damage, or worst of all; being stolen by thieves, or they're completely sealed up, and you have no idea if it's the original toy that you want, and for all you know it could've been easily swapped out for an entirely different figure, and on top of that, the plastic strings that did a much better job of holding the toys in place, whereas the paper ones don't hold in nearly as securely, and people can easily steal it if they tried hard enough, and then everything is completely wrapped up in cheapass paper, which just makes it feel like I bought a used item from eBay, and while I could be wrong, I highly doubt it protects the toys anywhere nearly as well as the vastly superior clear plastic wrappings did, not to mention it's not exactly "plastic free" if they're still using plastic tape, and that the toys themselves are still made out of plastic. Plus, I wouldn't be surprised if the reason that the Megazord feels a bit on the cheap might just be simply due to Hasbro not caring about the quality of their products that much these days anymore, nor about their consumers, while at the same time raising the prices of their products. "But hey, that's okay, look at all the plastic free packaging, and pretty artwork! :D" Fuck Hasbro.

[@TMan978]

This is kind of cool. The outward motion on the arms and no ankle pivot would drive me up the wall though.

[@SuperChochip]

It has a Balljoints for ankle pivot, Balt just missed it

[@xDeath35]

I like my got it last weekend in a gamestop store and ended up saving 20 dollars because I had it already pre-ordered on the gamestop app so i canceled the pre-order and got my money for shipping back

[@ironGenre9ight]

Love mine, Only complaints, the thigh joints are VERY tight, and sometimes hard to rotate when transforming, Also the doors in ship mode always touch the shuttle when opening or closing.

[@JodiBaskoro]

I haven’t seen you this excited for a while, balt. Glad you’re enjoying this figure

[@TheProtectorofTime]

Did anyone else catch that they used a female mold for the tiny Space Black? I mean, it's probably just a mistake, but it's still kind of funny.

[@desmondpeach6323]

I noticed that too

[@toavaxxok]

Yep, saw it.

[@craigwoodman4964]

There has been problems with the tiny rangers on the previous releases as well. I don't know how they are managing to mess that part up still.

[@haydenreviewscustomcombos]

Welcome back to the Power Rangers/super sentai videos.

[@lekanraposte6732]

The only thing that I find bizarre is that the hands could have bee fully articulated instead of swapping them. For the size, it's doable. Maybe an upgrade kit?

[@420mralucard]

I think they decided on removable hands so they could have a better grip on the weapons. They seem heavy enough that they could be hard to pose with if the hands could open/

[@lekanraposte6732]

@@420mralucard Usually there's always a tab inside the hands for the weapon to peg into. Then the grip of the hand complete holding the thing.

[@420mralucard]

@@lekanraposte6732 I know but I’ve never had one of those tabs work fully. They’re always either super hard to get at or they end up being to loose.

[@lekanraposte6732]

@@420mralucard Yeah, for some reason the usual square tab never really works. But some toys use a rail system that is pretty damn effective.

[@maskofthedragon]

I hope they do the Time Force Megazord soon

[@veemon9280]

Dreams do come true ! Megazord with articulation and cockpit space for the rangers Awesome. One thing I would change is...articulate hands. I don't like having to swap hands on figures. I would rather if the hands were just molded in a fist to hold the weapons, or partially articulated

[@NutjobGTO]

You know what Some of your recent stuff kinda sounds like... You're doing Content Creation as a _job._ Like it's an obligation to slog through. This sounds like it's _important_ to you. I never really got into Power Rangers, kind of because it felt like it forced Transformers out and took over. But I can't help but feel a bit of your joy coming through on this video.

[@melleen629]

I've wanted this for years, so happy they pulled out all the stops with this release! Extremely excited for Delta ZAP release - we will finally get accurate turret hands!!

[@MegaManX7]

I love these videos because I can just watch them play with it while mine stay in the boxes. I'll hand them down to the kids when they are older

[@Eevee007King]

I found that funny that you had a Predaking cameo in the video because I was playing with mine before woching this.

[@kevinp.h157]

HASBRO, WHERES MY WILD FORCE AND SPD MEGAZORDS?!

[@ThatToyGuy]

I know NOTHING about Power Rangers but for some reason I really want this

[@aldolibreri791]

Wish the hands were either articulated, or they swapped out the closed fist with thrusters. The original toy had covers for the hands that you could put on while it was in space ship/combined mode.

8:30 I’m glad I’m not the only one having issues opening the front of the ship. I was terrified I was doing it wrong and going to break it.

[@gotham006]

Ugh the way you open the nose of the ship... made me want to scream. I remember taking off the shield first and unlocking the arms and then prying apart the nose. Anyone else?

[@TheMegapwnage666]

The black ranger has the female mold lol

[@triplez6691]

Dose Amazon have it? If not where did u get it?

[@Rodimusprimerib]

This is beautiful, but man it needed just a bit more articulation especially in the shoulders and ankles.

[@Mr.Funk92]

Side note, wonder if we will start seeing DNA upgrade kits for ZAP should the line continue?

[@MrWesternAUS]

The question should be: what 3rd party company would even consider doing that?

[@Itswildboy87]

Thanks for this, you helped me put mine together! I'm gonna buy another so I can have the zord version and the space ship version 👏🏾🙏🏾

[@khoonkitlim5963]

14:37 RM7++ > RM890. Definitely not very cheap. But I do wish I could buy this guy so badly. I want to have an armada of battleships in my collection.

[@IndianaTampa]

Astro Megazord was essentially a Power Rangers Transformer. It is almost a headmaster. I would hope Hasbro could nail it!

[@joshthomas5151]

it really looks like it jumped of the screen, now the possibility maybe limited, but that is how the movement was, when the actors wearing the megazord suits

[@marcbrunson6986]

I'm hoping to get this zord. I have the Dragonzord and working on the Megazord. This just looks cool anyway ha ha. I hope Titanus gets made.

[@lincdc12]

So are we just gonna ignore the fact that Carlos is wearing a skirt?

[@skylander591]

The Power Rangers nerd in me is screaming with excitement! I absolutely love this!

[@Nickster891]

i've been watching megaranger on tubi (cause i didn't see the dvds and tubi's free ) and would love this cause of that especially if they made a delta megazord to go with it but the question would be.... where to put it? * sees the price * ouch then again i can't afford that

[@Scotty-Z70]

it is really cool. it is one of my favorite megazords. But with prices of groceries, i'll be content with the original and the jumbo that i have. Thanks for the review.

[@MrWesternAUS]

Quick question: doesn't the fuel parts also make a gun? Maybe a Short video for that?

[@RideMyAvatar]

Now does it have future design to combine with the delta megazord?

[@QuietStorm44777]

Already seen this twice but just realized that I didn't leave a comment for algorithm San! Also this looks so good! The possibilities of cheaper plastic does make a bit skeptical 🤨 but this looks awesome! Definitely worth it (but possibly at a lower price 😂)

[@MrAaronCage]

Glad to see you review Sentai/ Power Rangers

[@Ra3_ar1adnE]

I think you missed out on mentioning he has a deep ab crunch on him.

[@screwyoureviews9924]

I can't wait for the Legacy Delta Megazord!😁

[@KumoriBlackPhoenix]

wasnt the boosters for the shuttle supposed to combine to form the laser blaster for the megazord?

[@obsessivefanboy7]

Do not get the ZAP Dino Megazord and Dragonzord. The quality on those isn't as good as the ZAP Astro megazord. The plastic on them feels very cheap, hollow, and brittle whereas the Astro megazord plastic feels solid and way more sturdy.

[@vutava8292]

Forgot to show the blaster outside of booster mode.

[@superpaul79]

While I never really had any interest in Power Rangers/Super Sentai (aside from Amy Jo Johnson 😍), this toy made me gasp the first time I saw it. AMAZING! I haven't picked it up, but I might if it goes on sale somewhere.

[@SkullTeamShin]

Can the grabby hands stay on during transformation to shuttle mode?

[@RiderRyuuga]

yes its not cheap. but ist also not for playing. the zap line is many for Collectors like you or my self^^

[@seed4212]

the gun barrel is short to me.. and sad fuel tank is hollow. but i can not wait get my copy.. i hope they made delta megazord soon.. it will be nice next to my super minipla astro delta.

[@screwyoureviews9924]

It's been along while since Baltmax done any reviews on Super Sentai and Power Rangers toys.🤨

[@lapd_code_3]

id like for them to make a lightning collection lightspeed rescue supertrain megazord but i see that there only doing specific type zords

[@officerbarbrady8387]

I wanted to get the first two sets from this line along with this guy. But the complaints that I've heard about the plastic quality is making me kind of wary. You're paying close to 200 dollars for just one of these. They should not feel cheap.

[@craigwoodman4964]

There is no excuse for that plastic quality at this price. I have seen a bunch of videos of breaks with the ZAP line.

[@raydenlord]

It’s cool, but it’s like double the price of a Transformers Commander, which it’s only a little bigger than. And has significantly less poseability and complexity. I just don’t see where the extra cost is coming from.

[@Dunks_Aquarium]

Don't know if you noticed, but the Black Ranger you got is using the girl mold. And I'm pointing that out because the Black Ranger in In Space was a guy.

[@raitaylor]

I appreciate Hasbro for doing this. Despite being a PR fan since day one I never owned any of the zord toys. Will definitely be getting this 👏

[@randallvolk8437]
