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.

[@snukastyle]

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!).

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Male yellow ranger 🤔

[@Chill59190]

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.

[@MechaTheSpider]

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!!!

[@16shogunelitegreen]

VR Troopers was from two tokusatsu shows: Speilban and Metalder

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Awesome thanks for watching 🤓⚡️

[@DoctorWhyDesigns]

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.

[@sonicgun77]

"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]

Atomic ranger warriors looked badass 😄👌

[@ChaotixBR]

Man, I remember seing some of these knock offs back in the day! Man, that brought some memories. That cobra guy, and a red mega ranger. I also remember a knock of that looked like power rangers turbo, but I guess that one was super sentai turboranger.

[@eastcumbriancollector983]

[@jur4ik269]

@@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.

[@Morgil27]

Just a few weeks ago, I was at my local state fair, and one stand had a pack of five "Revenge Ninja" figures, that were very clearly just cheap figures of Power Rangers In Space that had been slightly painted over. I took a photo of it with my phone.

[@TheCapt17]

I remember going to a Japanese store once and seeing actual Mighty Morphin Power Rangers with motor bikes and thought they were knock offs since you don't see the rangers on bikes in the show😂

[@BrianAwesome]

They used the Dino Cycles and Shark Bikes in the U.S. show, but they used the Thunder Bikes only in the Japanese show.

[@JD-tl7ld]

Where does Voltron fit into this? I was hatched in the later part of the 70s and grew up with Voltron. I don't think there was ever a live action version of that, but I do recall the teens and animal stuff. My Siblings were into Power Rangers and I remember it seeming pretty close to Voltron visually wise.

[@omnimonramone8459]

The Japanese source for Power Rangers,Sentai had already been airing for some time before Voltron,as well as some other transforming robot shows. Voltron was the first to become big internationally.

I think that Yugoslavian bootlegs are the most close to the ogs. Look at the motu, they r so expensive. We had power rangers, they were so good. But still you can find them for sale from the collectors. I sold all of mine motu Yugobootlegs, just Red He man and huge sword are left. Men i wish I could go back in time for more of these things.
