[Toys] Power Rangers Samurai MAF Series 1: Training Mode Red Ranger

ALRIGHT, I got another one of these bad boys. This one is not as awesome as GOLD POWER, but uh, let's morphin'. (oh wait wrong show)


I'm starting to look at the Sentai that Samurai is based on so I decided to check out another one of these to see if I could get something good. We were about to leave the store so I couldn't stick around long enough to look for, say, one of the other rangers, but I did get an ACCESSORY that I wanted...

... And that accessory comes with this guy. The training mode versions of the red and green rangers are what I'd consider the least exciting part of the wave, but I was fine with getting this solely for the sword. Yes, just the sword. I like the spin sword (or Shinkenmaru, for you Shinkenger fans.)

JAYDEN.
Assembled he doesn't look that much more interesting to me. I do however like the fire kanji on the forehead and the clan symbol on the chest. They're VERY tiny details that are painted in perfectly. The sword itself is also very well sculpted for its size and makes for a great accessory in your collection of LEGO-like things.

United under facepalm
So yeah. Uhh. There are better gems to be had, but if you like this design then he gives you exactly what he has to offer; The design itself, with a bonus spin sword. Really, that's about it.

I think it'd be neat if this line expanded beyond Samurai and maybe became a Power Rangers thing in general. Would it not be cool to buy one of these wondering if you're getting the RPM guys or the Zeo guys? Think about it.
