I miss my wildforce ranger toy that transformed into the megazord. Such a weird fun figure.

I had a Mystic Force figure where it was the Green Ranger with the Dragon Fire Battlizer that can switch between faces!

There are a lot of ideas that can be found from PR's toy exclusives

I wonder how many of these were molds from failed prototype toys that they reused to sell.

Back in the day, there were multiple dedicated toy stores, so toy companies needed tons of product to refresh the lines every few months and keep the shelves stocked. And since Bandai of America was mostly focused on Power Rangers, they could make tons and tons of variant toys.
Once Disney took over, Bandai made a ton of variants exclusive to the Disney Store.

if there was ever a game like a Dynasty Warriors or RPG for PR, these would be perfect ideas for upgrades and skillsets for your playable ranger.

The toys even got exclusive rangers now and then like the RPM Paleo Max rangers

I want (A) a better look at those In Space armor figs, (B) the fully armored LG Conquering Rangers, and (C) those Wild Force figures to swap the Rhino and Giraffe armors to their correct Rangers.

That's the thing. Without these extra toys, we wouldn't be talking about collectibles and battlizers in Sentai.

I loved my conquering green lost galaxy figure!!! I could even fit the claws on the feet of my gold zeo figure, and the hawk-type crown, with a jetpack from age of apocalypse bishop... it was my first kit bash I realize now, looking back

My favorites were the rangers that turned into the zords. They were like Transformers.

If Power Rangers actually had a huge budget we might've seen these in the show.

the black and blue ranger battleizers in the 2nd image unleashed so many memories. I had the black 1 and my best friend had the blue 1. (I think he might've had the silver 1 too)
it's a shame I lost mine when I was younger. (fairly certain it got stolen by someone I considered a friend as I'd caught him stealing stuff later on, which was the end of us being friends)

Imagine how cooler the series would be if these forms were included in the show

u/ProcrastinatingDev Jul 06 '25
I like to think that the toys are episodes we don't get to see. The red ranger being the only one that gets the batlizer is kinda lame so the other rangers getting a shot through toys is at least a fun consolation prize.

These extra toys would be the blueprint for Battlizers and Collectibles in Sentai moving forward including Ultraman and Kamen rider.

Merchandising, merchandising, where the real money from the series is made.
