Features
- The figure’s standout feature is the light-up Power Morpher belt, which illuminates when a button on the back is pressed. This feature emulates the glowing Morphers as seen in the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers series.
- The torso and parts of the limbs are made of die-cast metal, giving the figure a solid, premium feel.
- Basic articulation in the arms and legs allows for limited posing.
- The Red Ranger features a vibrant metallic blue suit with white accents on the gloves, boots, and belt.
Packaging
The figure was packaged in a windowed box, allowing the toy to be prominently displayed. The design featured yellow lightning bolts, the Power Rangers logo, and bold multilingual text advertising the “Light-Up Belt” functionality in English, Italian (“Cintura luminosa!”), and German (“Leuchtgürtel!”).
Notes
- These figures were not sold in North American markets, making them rare collectibles for fans outside Europe.
- The light-up feature is often non-functional in used figures, making fully working ones more rare.
- Giochi Preziosi handled the distribution of this series in Italy, and the packaging reflects its branding.
- These figures are based on the Bandai Japan figures made for Zyuranger. The Japanese line has all six rangers.
