Nice review, I really dig the red/black color scheme too bad they didn't apply it to the legs.

IT's ALIVE!

Frankengaiking!! LIVES!!!!!!

It's interesting, you say Voltron, I think Megazord. Still, it's like the first bootleg built from leftover bootlegs I've ever seen!

FIRE!!! BAAAD!

Oh crazy, I thought voltron

Oh crazy, I thought voltron at first too but it's looking more and more megazord. In that case maybe it came about around the time of zyuranger?

I suppose anything is

I suppose anything is possible, but frankly I'd be shocked if this was made in the '90s. They just weren't making jumbos in that decade as a rule and all the other jumbos from Venezuela are known to have been released in the early '80s.

It was made to correspond

It was made to correspond with the Venezuelan Spanish dubbed airing of Zyuranger (circa 1992), Not Power Rangers from the mid 90s. Bootleggers reused the earlier Jumbo mold (Or recasted their own molds from official production figures) for this one-off release in the early 90s. Originally came bagged with a header card that features Zyuranger artwork.

This is also one of only a handful that are known to exist. Very rare!
