Deluxe Ninja MegaFalconzord 1995 toy review (MMPR The Movie/Season 3)

Ойын-сауық

1995 was a big year as Power Rangers made the jump to the big screen with Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie. And with it came our third Megazord! Ninja MegaFalconzord (or Ninja Falcon Megazord) then appeared looking very different in Power Rangers Season 3. We've even seen part of it recently in the 2018 25th anniversary special.
Here's my look back on that deluxe version of that toy, how I got mine, and how it's holding up 22 years later.

    Your original falconzord is so sun faded that's it looks like it's intentionally light orange and silver. It actually looks really cool, at least to me.

    The sun faded Falconzord admitably looks cool as hell, like a special edition you would get in like a Toys R Us. But out of all the MMPR Megazords, this is easily my favourite of the lot

    Admittedly, I never owned this, but watching the show, I always felt that the Red Ape, given that it was a humanoid form (and had a full actor suit for it), should have been more central to the combination just because it should have been about the same size as the Tyrannosaurus and Red Dragon before it. But it’s just an arm which you’d think would mean the Megazord would have to be a lot bigger to compensate but it’s the same as the others apparently. Maybe it was to do with NinjaRed not being leader in KakuRanger? Also nice to see that after taking many batterings as the chest of Dino Megazord and being laughed at as the skirt of Thunder Megazord, Pink Ranger gets to be the all important head here! Damn shouldn’t post before the video has finished, you just said everything I put!!

    Actually, all the shogun zords were about the same size as the monsters, and were all given suit actors, not just the red one. It's just that the red ranger's zord is usually the one the winds up getting an alternate mode or is able to fight when uncombined effectively; this can also be seen with the tyrannosaurus dinozord from season 1 and the red dragon zord from season 2, both of which were pretty powerful on their own and even were used individually to defeat monsters more than once.

    If you think about it, and completely unintentional because of the Sentai Footage, Tommy started with a zord that only combined with 3 of the main zords, then he got an upgrade, to the leader of the team, and combined with 4 zords. Then his Falcon combined with all 5 zords. Then when he became Red, he got to be the head of the megazord, and his own auxillery zord

    Glad you’re progressing through the series zords. I feel that in a PR toy line the zords kind of form the centerpieces so I like seeing you break it down and give them som attention with a little editing and music rather than just keeping it static in front of a camera and talking at us. For the yellowed, sun damaged plastic have you ever tried a hydrogen peroxide bath? I hear it’s cheap, dead simple and works wonders without risk.

  • @theonewhowatches869

    @@powerrangertube Exactly. It fits so well in combined mode, and it's on-theme with the individual zords, so it was surprising for me when I first heard that the order of the zord releases was reversed from the sentai, and that the Falconzord itself was an individual God General. Truth be told, I don't like the Shogun MegaFalconzord all that much. Whereas the the NMFZ looks natural, using the wings as wings, the SMFZ just looks like he grabbed a falcon and tucked it under his armpits and ran with it. The cannons stick out a bit too much and don't mesh as well with the rest of the aesthetic. The falcon doesn't match the anthropomorphic theme of the individual zords either. Truth be told it wouldn't surprize me to learn that the Falconzord and the Ninja zords were designed together and then they decided that the falcon also needed to combine with the Shogun Megazord. It just fits better with the Ninja team.

  • @valen9835

    Maybe it's just me, but this is the best season of zords for mmpr in my opinion. It's unique, the zords are very different to what came before, minus the crane that could easily be renamed to a pterodactyl and it'd make no difference. I might have to consider getting these sometime. And I don't mind the crane being pink, it looks better in my opinion then red.

Almost rebuilt it now; ordered an Ape and Falconzord on eBay, and got a 3D printed reproduction of the Crane. Just missing the fist covers and the metallic bit for the bear's mouth (I'll probably not bother with the Ape's tiny swords.)

I have very faint memories of seeing this in a toy store where I lived but I didn't bought it because I already had the deluxe version (if I remember correctly we got the TV version first here in Germany, but I might be mistaken). For 20 years now I thought it was just a dream (and I didn't care enough to research it myself), but now I know that it wasn't. Thank you. And now I'm sad that I didn't get that version. I also didn't get the re release of the Falcon and Titanus because I was like "oh I already have those".

    Worst part for me was the Shogun Megazord arm clips and clips on the Falcon Zord which of course broke as the clips on the red Shogun Zord were load-bearing in regards to the pink and blue Shogun Zords plus the added weight of the Ninja falcon Zord. Ninja Falcon Zord didn't fare much better in this as it's Clips broke too. The male end of the clips definitely could have benefited from being some sort of diecast metal as long as felt they would hold up better against the stresses of pulling the arms off the Shogun Megazord or Falcon Zord.
