while I really like the look

while I really like the look of this (I like the look of that repaint even more) i'm not sure i could display it in my room with out having to hide it when ever some one wanted to come in.

Hmm, maybe you could, just

Hmm, maybe you could, just don't mention that some parts are removable, especially the chest one :P But still this is a really nice toy, maybe with an extreme heavy metal overtone, but still pretty :)

I suppose but the whip might be harder to explain

Duh! A weapon, a weapon!

Duh! A weapon, a weapon! Even Power Rangers used whips from time to time :P

I've never seen a Ranger use

I've never seen a Ranger use a whip as a weapon; however they are frequently used by the MotW or lead villains to trip- or wrap-up the heroes. So it tends to be used in underhanded way. Or, there's the more-frequently seen cord-sized tentacles...
(Having not seen Super Sentai with my own eyes except for a few later subbed series, I can't say with certainty if this is also the case with the Japanese counterparts, but from what I've seen, whips aren't included in standard-issue arsenal.)
But I digress.

You should check the first

You should check the first weapon of Pink Ranger in PR: The Movie :P If It's not a whip, then I have no idea what is it...

Oh yeah- I forgot about

Oh yeah- I forgot about that. Yeah, that is a hard weapon to categorize since it could shoot out like a long spear, but was flexible like a whip.

I don't see the appeal

So Dog Alma has nearly zero points of articulation. It has no die-cast. It can not transform into an airplane. It's fists don't fly out when you press a button under it's elbow.

Honestly, I don't see the appeal.

I wouldn't get one, but

I wouldn't get one, but I'm guessing it's the visual appeal that's supposed to make her interesting. Oh, and the fact that you can make her topless... ;)

Removable chest armor

Ah! So the attachable chest armor is something like a combiner gimmick? That makes some sense, then.
