It's the 2013 version of the 1993 Dino Megazord. It's awesome! Technically, my brother ordered it from Ebay for me, not me.

I wanted this toy since 1994 when I watched Power Rangers.  :o

Yeah, I always liked the packaging for the TMNT toyline. Three illustrations were featured on the backer and then when you looked to the right of the last picture, you saw the figure. It was a neat idea because there are four turtles.

Have you heard of the Might Morphin' Power Rangers film that is due out next year? The mid 90s revival is in full swing, it seems. Being The Early 90s Guy, I don't see how anyone could ever want the mid 1990s back. They weren't much different from today in terms of dress code, entertainment and political issues. I guess this is supposed to be the decade where '90s kids' get nostalgic for the times of their youth.

I had the second version of the Megazord! I also had all the Power Rangers toys that the heads flipped on. Plus several of the monsters. I don't still have them.

This one was the coolest looking I thought.

I don't know about that, it's a close call for me...I was big time into both! I had the original TMNT toys, though so wanted the movie versions with the spotted skin. Now they've brought the fad back and all new toys and it's not the same.

Anything after like 1992 is 'modernized' to me. 1991 and before had a mystery to it, like a foggy, oldish, feel to it, which gave it its charm. But let's not get too deep into this or the this thread will be deleted.  ;D

Oh. My. God. I want that Power Rangers toy. If I get that toy I will never want another toy again.  :o  :o

The Power Rangers did the same thing in every episode. Plus, they were a total rip-off of Voltron. The Turtles had far more personality.

The Movie Star Turtles from 1992 were some of the best action figures in existence.

What was Voltron?

That had to have been the TMNT toys I was talking about. Their skin was like a rubber coating.

Sometimes, it isn't who does it first, it's who does it better.  8)  8)

Don't have anything against anyone who likes Voltron or Turtles, or anything.

Voltron is actually vintage, the Power Rangers never went anywhere. It's '93 until infinity.

You could pop off their arms ands legs too. The realistic feeling skin made them so slammin' and sweet (pardon my early 90s slang). They were the best action figures of the early 90s, if you ask me. They go for a lot on Ebay now, but they turn up in action figure lots from time to time. Have you seen the Movie Star Splinter with the fur made of felt? I used to take my cousin to get all of the latest TMNT action figures, so I knew all about them. Rhazar was one of the hardest figures to find.

True. They did the same thing over and over in the movies too.
