Removable chest armor

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

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... ;)

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.

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...

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'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.

Duh! A weapon, a weapon!

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

I suppose but the whip might

I suppose but the whip might be harder to explain

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 :)

while I really like the look

Blitz — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 12:00:55 -0400

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.
