What's neat about VR Troopers toys is that some of the vehicles are recycled from other lines. The vehicle shown at around the 6:44 mark is originally from COPS N CROOKS while another vehicle was a repurposed GI JOE FIREBAT with weapons from ALIENS vehicles. How did Kenner use a Hasbro mold in 94? Easy, Hasbro bought Kenner in 91.

I think the first time I heard of Power Rangers was seeing the 8" figures at Kay-Bee Toys. I don't believe we had Fox locally yet, so we weren't able to see the show. I do recall a short time after the show came out, on a shopping trip a store had a set of the Zyuranger role play weapons sets, including photos of the cast (including a very male Yellow Ranger!).

Billy was the first figure I got from Power Ranger before the series aired. I remember not having a clue what it was but he looked really cool. But then I remember when Fox kids aired a sneak preview episode after X-Men one Saturday morning during the early summer and it blew my MIND lol. I wanted EVERYTHING Power Rangers related lol. Luckily, my mom was an early shopper so I was able to get most of the Power Rangers figures before the craze blew up and it was impossible to find anything Power rangers related lol. I still remember the time when My mom and I went to Toys R Us and she asked the employee if they had the new Green Ranger figure and he got it from the back (mind you, he just came out during his Green with Evil saga lol). Shortly after, a couple of parents rushed over to my mom asking her where did she get the Green Ranger from. All my mom did was smiled and point "in the back the guy has two boxes." man I've never seen parents run so fast to the employee lol. Awwww good times lol.

So there's some really interesting interaction between the US remakes and their original Tokusatsu counterparts, from the sequel to Gridman airing recently being literally called "SSSS.Gridman", a callback to Superhuman, to a parody sentai show making fun of the "american rangers" which were just red and green from MM wearing american flag belts. I'd do some research on the original toku shows that these came from, you'll find that nearly all of them are often significantly better than their US counterparts and are often shockingly adult in theme. Also! VR Troopers ran out of original footage to make more episodes significantly earlier than everyone else, because it wasn't based on a single toku show, but actually a crossover movie! They only had roughly 30 mins of actual "stock" footage that they could use!!!

I grew up playing with Power Ranger bootlegs that looked like the "WR Wild Rangers" at 10:14. They were sold at Family Dollar for $1, but they had a different name, Alien Empire: Alien Warriors Galaxy Warriors. There were 7 of them, with green and pink sharing the same mold. They had weapons but they were too small to fit in their hands properly. I didn't find out until a few years ago they were recalled due to the manufacturer using lead paint on them.

"If you can't find nothing Billys and Trinis" I see no problem there, they where my first two picks of the rangers with the toys. Also my aunt got me a box of Atomic Ranger Warriors one Christmas, it had eight figures in a plain white box , no boxes like in the image seen here. I remember them so clearly as it was my introduction to knock-off/bootlegs.

@@EdsRetroGeekOut Power forces is, as i understand, a series two line of New Ray toy line Plotters. Plotters are GI joes knock offs, with similar articulation and size, a little more muscled. I cant even say that they are bootlegs, because they had their own story, vehicles and battle dinosaurs. But later molds from Plotters were used for Power force line, maybe for better sales because of similarity with power rangers.

The coolest knockoff I wanted as a kid was of a red dragon zord that turned into a robot. I think it had minifigure pilots. It might have also broken up into smaller vehicles as well, I don't remember for sure. I had Power Forces Frank! Another childhood figure I completely forgot about until now.

Isn't it almost wrong how "Lanard" and "Trendmasters" used to do primarily knock-off toys, and grew to be some of the biggest companies? Lanard has ALIENS right now, as well as many other known lines. Then again, popular videogame companies used to do that all the time too.

@@EdsRetroGeekOutI know the video is three years old now (still fantastic btw) but do you guys recall any of those toy line names? I’ve been super nostalgic as of late and im trying to track some down. If I remember right, Trendmasters had a toy line that featured knock off rangers with bikes and hilarious giant clip on helmets.

I remember I couldn’t find the 8” 1993 Power Rangers and My mom took me to the flea market where they had so many knock offs, one stood out the most. it was _Super Rangers_ packed in similar triangular shape boxes and they were almost identical to the originals. The only exception was they didn’t have articulated hands, fingers of ankles. Those parts were solid rubberized material. Another thing was, they didn’t had the dinosaur sticker on the Diamond chest plate. I have seen multiple knock offs throughout the years, but I have never seen those _Super Rangers_ knock offs.

Dude thank you for this video I have a knock off that's I've had since 1996/1997 I bought it because it looked like turboman and I really wanted a turboman figure after seeing jingle all the way I painted him to look more like turboman but thing is like most figures theres no information carved into it saying the toy company where it was made and the year my figure has none of that and I bought it in a bootsale so I have no idea what version of a knock off that it is just that it looks like a 6 inch turboman but with a blue visor and a and silver bits around the body but main colour is red I'd love to find more or just know what version of the knock out its very similar to the red power forces in your video but few differences dude can I get your email so i can send you a picture of it ?

Funny thing is because there were so many fakes when lost galaxy came out I truly believed that the " Charlie brown" sceme was just another knock off. It wasn't until a decade or two went had gone by that I realized it was legit lol Thanks for this. Totally went back in time with you.

I wish Superhuman Samurai was still relevant. There hasn't really been a platform for the fans to rejoice their love of the show on, because the actors have long moved on since the mid 90s, and don't seem to be in touch. I mean, even the VR Troopers have made somewhat of a comeback in recent years, which has been good for those looking to tap even deeper into their childhood. Superhuman Samurai could probably do the same with the support of the show's cast.

I found out about Power Rangers when there was a mail-in. You had to send in something for a contest and you got the entire first run of their toys for the first season. But the greatest knockoffs I had was from a grocery store down the street from my house.

So as a kid i was obsessed with power rangers, however my family couldn't afford much so most of my early toy stuff came from our local thrift store. I remember one day finding this knockoff power ranger (my 6 year old self had no idea what a knock off was and just assumed it was some ranger from a season i hadnt seen) it was this black metallic ranger, but what really got me was when light hit it, it had this rainbowy shine to it (it reminded me of a puddle of water with gasoline in it) and i just thought that was the coolest thing ever. Sad to say that bootleg figure was taken away by older siblings and thrown away.
