Review: Power Rangers Samurai - Yellow Samurai Ranger Mega Mode [Wave 1]

5th and last in the lineup of the Mega Mode Samurai Rangers, is Emily, the Yellow Samurai Ranger. She's similar to her counterpart, being clumsy and playing the flute sometimes. She has the power of Earth (土)! and She controls the Ape Foldingzord. She also has the Earth Slicer with the Ape disk.

Review: Samurai Sentai Shinkenger - S.H. Figuarts Shinken Yellow, Hanaori Kotoha

5th and last in the Shinkenger lineup... or at least for now, wow, it's been not so much time since I reviewed Tono-sama eh? Anyways, Shinken Yellow (シンケンイエロー ), Hanaori Kotoha (花織 ことは ), is the Earth Samurai (土の侍 Tsuchi no Samurai), she's really there in place of her sister who fell ill and couldn't really be Shinken Yellow. She has a Kyoto Accent and is a very clumsy girl, she's so adorable. In episode 2 I believe, after she goes off on her own to train and Ryunosuke, Chiaki and Mako find her she says that she's never been good with the bamboo work at home and the only two things she was good at were the Sword and the Flute. A girl with very low self-esteem and very high loyalty to her Tono. She thinks she is stupid but she has come up with plans, she's a nice gentle girl is willing to help others. Her arsenal comes with the Shinkenger basic battle pack and her own personal weapons. Land Slicer (ランドスライサー), Saru Origami (猿折神), Saru Disk (猿ディスク) etc... This figure is a Tamashii Web exclusive so it'll be difficult to find for a decent price.

Review: Power Rangers Samurai - Green Samurai Ranger Mega Mode [Wave 1]

Following the lineup it's Mike, the Green Samurai Ranger, he's the second of his kind in the Power Rangers Universe first being Sam (I mean Cam) from Power Rangers Ninja Storm. He's very much like his counterpart but a little bit more toned down, He's a big video game player and is very lazy. He was given the Beetle disk after 1st being given to Mia (The Pink Samurai Ranger) but during a battle he used it but failed, he later learned how to use it. He's also claustrophobic. His Symbol is Wood (木) or Forest (森) to avoid any jokes. He has the Bear Foldingzord and disk, Beetle Foldingzord and disk and the Wood Spear. Let's move on.

Review: Samurai Sentai Shinkenger - S.H. Figuarts Shinken Green, Tani Chiaki

4th in the Shinkenger roll call, and 3rd to arrive after Mako and Ryunosuke, Shinken Green (シンケングリーン)! Tani Chiaki ((谷 千明)! He's the Samurai of  Wood (木の侍 Ki no Samurai), he's also lazy, irresponsible, and arrogant teenage schoolboy, only becoming a Shinkenger because he thought it'd be fun and because he wanted to protect some people. He didn't like the idea of a "Period Drama" with a Lord but he eventually got used to it, He now considers Takeru a rival and he wants to surpass him. He never did get formal training but he is pretty good coming up with ideas and surprise attacks. His arsenal has the usual Shinkenger arsenal but with a Wood Spear (ウッドスピア), the Kuma (Bear)  Disk (熊ディスク), the Kuma Origami (兜ディスク), and the Kabuto (Hercules Beetle) Disk (兜ディスク) and Kabuto Origami ((兜折神) which was originally designated to Mako but seeing as how Mr. Tani is stubborn he took the disk and attempted to use it but failed, later on he eventually grew stronger an managed to use it without any problem. Let's-a-Move on with the review. Keep in mind that this was a Tamashii Web Exclusive so it wont be that easy to find for a cheap price.

Review: Power Rangers Samurai - Pink Samurai Ranger Mega Mode [Wave 1]

Next up, it's Samurai Pink! Or Mia! the Pink ranger of the Samurai team! She's the "Big sister of the team" and a toned down version of Shiraishi Mako. She's still a terrible cook though, Her helmet has the stylized Kanji for Heaven (天)  and translated to Sky (which the kanji still stands for) in order to avoid any uproars that it might start. She pilots the Turtle Foldingzord and uses Wind based attacks. 

Review: Samurai Sentai Shinkenger - S.H. Figuarts Shinken Pink, Shiraishi Mako

The 3rd Shinkenger, Shinken Pink (シンケンピンク), Shiraishi Mako (白石 茉子)! Former kindergarten teacher prior to joining the Shinkengers after being called upon by Jii because of the Gedoushu attack on the "Human" world. She's the Samurai of the Sky or Samurai of Sky (天の侍 Ten no Samurai) (or heaven since the symbol stands for imperial, sky or heaven). Mako is actually pretty awesome, she's more of a tomboy than a girly girl but she does want to be a great wife, she's an awful cook and almost killed Ryunosuke (not really). She has a weakness for those in need and she'll do her best to confort them, such as when Ryunosuke was beating himself up and saying how unmanly he is resulting in a hug from Mako and then being denied any sweetness after he was fixed with a response from Mako, "You're annoying". She's also quite honest and I can kinda see her as 2nd or 3rd in command. An example of some brutally honest bits can be... when she tells Ryu-san he's annoying in episode 4. Her arsenal consist of, the Heaven Fan (ヘブンファン), the Turtle Disk (亀ディスク), the Shinkenmaru with common disk, she pilots the Kame Origami (亀折神) or Turtle Origami and the Shodophone which every Shinkenger has. This figure is indeed a Tamashii Web Exclusive so it'll be difficult to find for a decent price.

Review: Samurai Sentai Shinkenger- S.H. Figuarts Shinken Blue, Ikenami Ryuunosuke

So the 2nd Shinkenger in the roll call, Shinken Blue (シンケンブルー), Ikenami Ryuunosuke (池波 流ノ介). He's a kabuki actor who was summoned by Jii to meet up with Tono-Sama (Shinken Red, Shiba Takeru) during a show. He's very dedicated to what he's supposed to do and has been trained to be a Samurai if such a thing were to happen (the thing being Chimatsuri Dokoku waking up and the Gedoushu coming to the "Human" world). He is the Samurai of Water (水の侍 Mizu no Samurai), at first glance the Character looks cool and refined, upon watching the show I realize his true nature, exaggerating every little thing and asking Tono-sama to punish him whenever he feels he did something wrong,  He's just a very dedicated Samurai following the bushido code. He's a pretty likable character, oh he's also skilled in playing female Characters as shown in episode 8 due to his Kabuki Theater Training. He owns the Water Arrow (ウォーターアロー Wōtā Arō), the Ryuu (Dragon) Origami (龍折神) and the Kajiki (Marlin) Origami (舵木折神), their respective disks and is very skilled in Swordplay almost as good as Tono-sama's. Also for whatever reason I might label him as M...  Keep in mind that this was a Tamashii Web Exclusive so it will be difficult to find it for a cheap price, I've seen him on ebay for around 80-100 bucks. Let's a move on.

Review: Samurai Sentai Shinkenger - S.H. Figuarts Shinken Red, Shiba Takeru

So the next set of figures is... Shinkenger, which was the 3rd Sentai I watched and the 2nd one I finished. Samurai Sentai Shinkenger (侍戦隊シンケンジャー), the 33rd entry of Toei's Super Sentai Series and one of my favorites. Shinkenger is one of those shows that I go back an watch over and over again. Shinken Red ( シンケンレッド), Shiba Takeru (志葉 丈瑠), is the leader and lord (殿 tono)of the Shinkengers. He is strict and hard and could be classified as a Tsundere in my opinion. Owns the Lion Origami (獅子折神 Shishi Origami), and his signature weapon is the Rekka Daizantou (烈火大斬刀 Blazing Great Slicing Sword) with the help of the common disk (共通ディスク Kyōtsū Disuku). I say he's one of the best Reds of the millennium and one of my top 5 at the moment. He's a bit hesitant to work with others due to a certain situation he's in and tries to distance himself from his retainers, he can also be brutally honest and do things you might not expect. He's been called a liar, in mind and body. I'll reveal more details about certain characters as we progress with the review. Shinkenger is a masterpiece in my opinion, the music the setting and the story is a tenoutaten. Let's a move on.

Review: Power Rangers Samurai - Blue Samurai Ranger Mega Mode [Wave 1]

In PRS they go Mega Mode by using the Kanji for super. Their suits and weapons change and to be honest, they're awesome. While Red looks better in almost everything (IMO) I prefer yellow in Mega Mode. Blue looks cool, and the Helmet looks awesome. Let's move on.

Comparison: Female Ranger Bodies - S.H. Figuarts Shinken Yellow and Power Rangers Samurai/Super Samurai Yellow Samurai Ranger [Wave 3]

The Original idea was a history of female ranger bodies but I didn't have enough to make it so Its drafted for now. Since I couldn't wait and the Reviews for either figures aren't up yet, Shinken Yellow will be later later, Shinken Red will be soon, I have the pictures and I just didn't know how it would go down, I had em even before the Akiba Red review. Maybe after Akiba Yellow. Yellow Samurai Ranger will go after the Wave 1 (If I can find a mooger) and Wave 2 of the Samurai/Super Samurai Toy Line. Let's start anyways.

Review: Power Rangers Samurai/Super Samurai - Shogun Gold Ranger

I received this figure on Christmas and I like it, It didn't appear on the show but it makes a nice figure. Let's move on.

Review: Power Rangers Samurai - 4" Red Samurai Ranger Mega Mode [Wave 1]

I've mentioned before about how I started to watch Power Rangers Samurai when it came out and stopped after 7 episodes. It's not that's its bad, it's just that wasn't into Power Rangers that much when that came out. After Mystic Force Ended I just didn't really get into Power Rangers that much, Operation Overdrive I had watched until the "Once A Ranger" Episodes and like one Episode of Jungle Fury. I stumbled upon Super Sentai After watching "History Of Power Rangers" by Linkara on JEFusion. Well at least the 2nd I had stumbled upon Sentai... more on that some other time. I like these suits, I had no idea about Shinkenger so I didn't care for the fact that these suits are Saban only. They're honestly pretty cool and the suits are freaking awesome! So adapted from Samurai Sentai Shinkenger it keeps a lot of things and removed a bit such as the Kuroko. I hate Octoroo btw and most of the villain's voices. Let's move on.

Review: Power Rangers Samurai - Retrofire Clawzord

Again, 

Saban: Power Rangers/ Power Rangers Samurai, Super Samurai :: Toei: Super Sentai 33/ Samurai Sentai Shinkenger

So the Clawzord now, the DaikaiOh piloted by the Gold Ranger Antonio or Shinken Gold, Umemori Genta. I like this figure and I saw a review and I had to get it. I like Genta and I barely know Antonio. I believe this is the South Mode Mixed with East Mode, lets move on to the Review.

Review: Power Rangers Samurai - Retrofire Megazord

Power Rangers Samurai, It was one of those shows that I watched and stopped watching after a while. I watched the first couple episodes and when it was announced I said, "Oh, new Power Rangers show, I'm going to watch it, I haven't watched it in a while since Mystic Force, I guess I'll give it a go." I watched about 4-7 episodes and then stopped completely. It was before I knew about sentai, later on I watched Shinkenger, one of the most epic things ever and I watched the ending of Super Samurai, the Shogun fight was AMAZING! Anyways, Saban's Power Rangers Samurai and Super Samurai are the adaptations of Toei's 33rd Super Sentai Series, Samurai Sentai Shinkenger. This is the Samurai Megazord and the counterpart is Shinken-Oh. I got this figure before I knew the existence of the Super Robot Chogokin one and Super Sentai, I got it when I began to like Tokusatsu and Anime more and when I started Collecting. I love this figure, so lets get onto the review.
