Power Rangers Game Face!

I've mentioned before that the whole Power Rangers scene completely passed over me. I have never had any interest in it at all, although I respect the concept of Kaiju battles no matter what format they take.

But when I saw this new Power Rangers villain Game Face on the toy aisles I simply could not pass him by. This guy has got to be one of the most ridiculous action figures of all time and I absolutely love him. I don't care a smidge about Power Rangers, or sports for that matter, but somehow when you mash the two together you make something I can't resist. Weird how that works out sometimes.

Game Face was once a simple retail cash register jockey, but then one day a truck hauling toxic waste smashed into the Dick's Sporting Goods where he was working and BLAM! Game Face!*

*Not actually Game Face's bio but probably a better bio than his real bio.

Game Face is a simple action figure with a football helmet torso, a basketball backboard/net/ball head, soccer and volleyball shoulders, a face in the middle of his belly for no known reason (perhaps that's the actual 'game face' from whence his name derived), and other assorted sports equipment making up or simply glued to his body at regular intervals. The paint apps are limited, articulation is a little above 5 POA due to his hips being swivel and his knees bending but as you can imagine that head don't move at all. Parallel parking must be a bitch, good thing it isn't a sport!

"Anyone for tennis?"

I really need the 6" Brave and the Bold Sportsmaster now to complete my team. The mini McD version is all I have at this time, and he's at a terrible disadvantage because none of his companions want to play...wait for it...MINI GOLF! HAW HAW HAW!

Game Face is on store shelves now as part of the Bandai Power Rangers Dino Charge basic line. Get him or be a big old loser!

It's the end of the world as we know it

Happy New Year!

My first post of 2012 is...a Power Ranger?

What the hell?!?!

Ok, it's an Evil Space Alien. That's a little better than some guy in red pajamas doing high-kicks I suppose.

I found this crazy shark guy at the local thrift store that for some odd reason labels everything one price then has signs all over the store that say '50% Off Today!'...

...everyday.

So he was a buck fifty. Unopened. Mint on card. How could I NOT part with twelve bits and walk away with this guy in my possession?

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers stayed completely off my radar when they...well...forever. I couldn't care less about them. The show looked dumb when it first aired and I suppose it still does and is. And I still think the word 'Morphin' and 'Morphine' are too similar and therefore imagine a bunch of doped up teens halucinating these alien encounters while in reality they are sitting in a derelict tenement with needles in their arms.

But look at those crazy Evil Space Aliens! Did I miss out on something awesome by not looking at these toys in 1994? I think so!

This guy is called Killer Bite Slippery Shark. Because Killer Shark, or Shark Bite or Slippery When Wet or Sharkman just wouldn't suffice.

What the heck kind of show was that Power Rangers anyways? No villain is a threat if 'Slippery' is part of his name. Ever hear of 'Slippery' Capone? Or 'Slippery' Dahmer? No, didn't think so.

KBSS has an action feature...yay! When you move his left arm his heap pops up and his jaw drops.

He kind of reminds me of Beaker from the Muppets.

"Me me meee!"

KBSS comes with a toxic super soaker of some sort. Cool.

Maybe it was used to wash the stink of those Meth-head kids.

This guy is ridiculous, as apparently are all Power Rangers villains. I'm totally okay with that.

In fact, I think I want more of these.

Oh no!
