As much as I love Limited Articulation Figures, I must admit I had almost zero interest in this Beast Morpher Yellow figure. But then I got the Captain Marvel figure and had a ridiculous panic that I didn't have any other 9.5" figures to display her with. I swear the only aspect of life where I have a Fear-of-Missing-Out complex is with toy collecting. Because I've found that once you miss one of these bargain-line figures and they disappear from the shelves, they can be some of the hardest collectibles to find in the secondary market. The reason I didn't originally like her is purely because of the unnatural pose. Her semi-squat leg stance and her awkward cocked-arm pose were just off-putting. I'm also not the hugest fan of the Power Rangers Beast Morphers theme, but the fact that her helmet has a bunny face on it with slicked back ears just gets me every time. I just hope future figures like this have a more standard pose like the Marvel ones or all the various 6" bargain lines. Let's check her out below!
I don't understand the function of this octagonal port on her back yet. I'm assuming there is some accessory designed for this assortment, but I haven't seen it yet. The Marvel figures have them too.
Time for some Group and Comparison Pics!
And here is Yellow Ranger with the 9.5" Captain Marvel.
Cheers!
I saw this one at Dollar General just the other day. They seem to be phasing out the smaller figures at my local store in favor of these. My problem is that the articulation is pretty limited. Hasbro's large-scale budget line figures are nothing like Mattel's. And these are more expensive than the MSRP on True Moves when my Walmart had them.
ReplyDeleteYes I agree, I think the smaller 6" figures are unfortunately being phased out. Although 6" Thanos and Black Panther are relatively new and I never even saw Thor in person. And on the flipside, there are 3" Marvel figures in clear polybags that I first noticed last holiday season. Only the main male lineup so far though..
