Sentai / Power Rangers

Sentai (Japanese: 戦隊), the Japanese word for task force (literally fighting team or squadron - Sentai was also a term used for Japanese squadrons in WWII), is most commonly used for classifying the "superhero team" genre of shows produced by Toei Company Ltd. and Bandai, and aired by TV Asahi. The shows are of the tokusatsu genre, featuring live action characters and colorful special effects, and are aimed mainly at families. (Wikipedia)

Power Rangers is an ongoing saga of television series about the epic adventures teenagers or 20-somethings who transform into the titular superheroes. The show is directly tied into a vast merchandising empire largely owned by Japanese toy company Bandai.

While the concept is based on the Super Sentai series of yearly serials, it is not an English dub of the original, but rather a 'new' production with English-speaking actors spliced in with the original Japanese footage to varying ratios. Due to the very Japanese nature of many of Sentai's stories and design, the American shows are always at least slightly changed to fit a Western audience. (Wikipedia)

This category contains toys from both Sentai and Power Rangers genre.

Review: Super Sentai DX Engine Gattai Engine-Oh

It doesn’t raise the bar as far as DX toys go, but it doesn’t drop that 32-year-old ball either.

Includes Video review!

Review: Power Rangers Deluxe Astro Galactic Megazord

Deluxe Astro Galactic Megazord- Megazord Mode (head detail)

This set is known as the Astro Galactic Megazord to differentiate it from the original Deluxe Astro Megazord released the previous year from “Power Rangers in Space” (1997), but in-series during “PR Lost Galaxy”, it is still referred to as just the Astro Megaship.

Review: Power Rangers Deluxe Animus Megazord

If Bandai still made them like this, I would still collect Sentai.

Review: Power Rangers Titanus

Titanus is a HUGE toy: 22 inches long, around 10 high. Even knowing the beast’s size, I was still surprise when I got it. Out of the box, Titanus is easy to assemble… safe for the FORTY or so stickers to place. You’ll never convince me that a 4 year-old kid can do it, but I digress. Even left alone, Titanus is a heck of an addition to a collection.

Review: Super Sentai DX Tenkuu Gattai Saint Kaiser

To be honest, Tenkuu Gattai Saint Kaiser actually looks a little meaner to me than WolKaiser; this white devil with a golden spear, flaming soul and racing heart.
