Write a Review link for that item. Power Rangers Lightning Collection (Hasbro)Animal heads where they don't belong have always been creepy. Artists have been milking it since Bosch at least. And that's why I own this. I somehow missed out on Power Rangers as a kid, despite a love of fun Kaiju. I'd never seen tokusatsu before, and it seemed silly and overblown. Which was the point, of course. Anyway, the livestock legionnaire here was created to devour all the world's food in the US version, while the original series had Witch Bandora specifically starving out one family with a bespoke pig head creature. She was cranky on account of her new diet, you see. None of that matters to me, as this thing looks to have crawled right out of a Breugel print. The pig head is exactly a normal one, with good skin texture and slightly overgrown tusks. The arms (which, delightfully, protrude from the corners of its mouth) are slightly distorted trotters rather than the exposed fingers of the costume, and have a nice range of motion. It's all sticking out of a Greek helmet, because it was a Circe gag originally. Oh, and the mouth opens. It adds a lot to the personality of this thing, since the angle of the pose affects the expression. Much appreciated. Accessory-wise, we just get the giant knife and fork. Again, appropriately comical. A trans yellow lightning effect fits onto the fork. A pair of open "hands" are included, and swap with minimal effort. There was an exclusive somewhere that also had a bunch of food, but I'm happy with this. Pudgy was an early and memorable design. It's also a nice solid toy, well done all around and appealing enough to draw in a non-fan. I have no complaints at all.  by Karl T. Face |
