914.0. "POWER RANGERS" by SUBURB::65175::phillipss () Fri Mar 03 1995 09:03

Power Rangers.

On TV I am seeing the following with my son (aged 3),  SKY TV - blue and pink rangers from the 
beginning and a new yellow, red and black ranger, also a new leader (white ranger - ex green ranger).

Normal TV channel - Normal five plus the green ranger.

I have picked up a couple of figures from TOYS R US, unable to find yellow ranger, pink ranger and white 
ranger as yet.

Please can you let me know if anyone knows if the white ranger is availble anywhere yet.
Also have the other rangers boxes changed eg jason is now rocky.

My son loves these and would dearly love a complete collection but so far have been unable to collect the 
above.

    I think you should be able to find the white ranger at 
    Toys r us, Kaybee or Walmart.  This is where I've seen them.
    
    Yellow ranger should be pretty easy to find.  She's not very
    popular with the boys (yet)   8*)
    
    Also, I don't think the characters have changed.  Red is still
    Jason etc....
    
    Do you think this is just a marketing ploy to get us to but
    another Red, Yellow and Black ranger?  I'm not going for it.
    When they morphed, you can't tell the difference!

    Some characters have changed...
    
    Jason (Red), Zack (Black) and Trini (Yellow) have left
    the show.  (The characters are attending a teen world
    peace conference).  I can't remember the names of the teens
    that are now the Red, Black and Yellow Rangers.

    Yeah, sorry.  I mean they have not changed on the boxes.
    They still sell only the old rangers.

    Can someone please list the colors of the power rangers?  I'm making
    chocolates for an easter craft fair and have a power ranger mold.  But
    I need to paint them with the black masks and white diamonds and pour
    them the appropriate colors.  What are the colors?
    
    Also, on the white power ranger, does it have black diamonds on it's
    costume?  
    
    Thanks.

    The "old" rangers are as follows;
    
    Green - Tommy
    Red - Jason
    Blue - Billy
    Pink - Kimberly
    Yellow - Trini
    Black - Zach
    
    This fall they "changed" the green ranger to White, but he's still
    Tommy.  Both colors still appear to be very popular, in general White
    and then Green.  In popularity, I think the rest go about like this;
    Red, blue, black, pink, yellow  (though I like Trini better than
    Kimberly... (-;).  The green/white ranger has always been the most
    powerful, which probably accounts for their popularity.  The red ranger
    is, in general, the leader.
    
    The green ranger lost his 'powers', but somehow turned white w/ new
    powers (I missed that episode).  I still tease Jason about it .... I
    think his batteries died, that's all (-;
    
    Have a blast!

Dear All,
The new power rangers

Red ranger - Rocky - white guy
Black Ranger - Adam - chinese guy
Yellow Ranger - Aeshia - black girl

I am in UK - and therefore don't have the latest stuff available in TOYS R US, which 
is a real pain in the ***** as after all the company should have the same toys in 
both countries.

The WHITE ranger is now the LEADER not the red and this I believe might be one 
reason for JASON leaving the show. (purely guess work you understand), anyway 
we were ready for a change of scene.

I unfortuantely am not a Trini fan as she appears to be too sickly sweet and over 
the top for me,  I prefer the new yellow ranger AESHIA the black lady to her.

Basically the WHITE ranger has it for me - tasty or what??

Anyone coming over to the UK - Reading (Dec Park) over the next few months that 
might have access to the white ranger please contact me.

    My theory is that the old rangers weren't offered enough money
    for the new Power Rangers movie that came out.
    
    I like Tommy (I think it's the hair 8*) 
    I don't like Kimberly 
    
    Actually, I like the show.  It IS mindless but Nathan and I
    watch it together and laugh at how stupid Bulk and Skull are!

    Ok .. so there's no more green power ranger (good thing I haven't made
    any green chocolate power rangers yet!).  What does the white power
    ranger's costume look like?  Most other ones are the color with white
    "diamonds" on their chest.  What color diamonds does the white one
    have?

914.9Black Diamonds?STOWOA::STOCKWELLWubba...Wubba is a Monster SongFri Mar 03 1995 16:013
    I hate the PR, but I believe the White Range has the black diamonds
    
    
914.10Maybe gold...STOWOA::STOCKWELLWubba...Wubba is a Monster SongFri Mar 03 1995 16:045
    come to think about it....they may even be gold.  My husband bought a
    big talking PR for his newphew and I'm trying to remember -- they were 
    either black or gold
    
    
914.11Fancy costume for the white rangerHOTLNE::CORMIERFri Mar 03 1995 16:147
    The white ranger is considerably different than the others.  Large
    white football-style shoulder pads with gold and black details. Very
    fancy!  I had to make one on a cake for my 6-year old nephew, so I
    searched all the toy stores for trading cards.  I finally found one
    with a solo photo of the white ranger so I could copy his costume. Not
    an easy task for a cake...

    Sarah ..
    
    The chocolate mold I have is just from the chest up.  I'm wondering
    what color the diamonds are.  Gold or black?

    I just checked with my 4-year-old.  He said the white ranger has a
    yellow diamond on his shirt (that probably means gold - I don't think he
    knows what color gold is, exactly!).  Now mind you, we don't have a TV,
    and power rangers are forbidden at preschool, so I don't really understand
    how he knows these things, but he is pretty reliable...

914.14How they know about Power RangersSUBURB::65175::phillipssMon Mar 06 1995 04:259
I believe that other kids are watching it and telling the ones at preschool what 
it is all about.

Certainly in the UK even though some are not watching they are well aware of 
who and what the Power Rangers are.

914.15I remember when I used to have a life!CLOUD9::WEIERPatty, DTN 381-0877Mon Mar 06 1995 08:5627
    Sorry ..... I meant to add that to my other reply.
    
    The white ranger is white with gold.  There is some black.  It is a
    pretty complicated get up (esp for chocolates!).  If I were doing it,
    I'd do something like make a white chest, and then a gold triangle in
    front (w/ the point towards the belly button), and you'll come pretty
    close.  If you need more detail, I can check out Jason's stuffed white
    ranger and get exactly where the gold/black are.  I THINK there's black
    at the top of his arms, a black belt, and black leg/arm bands, but the
    chest "shield" is gold, and there's a lot of gold on his mask, and the
    leg/arm bands may be striped with gold as well.  Gawd, how can I look
    at this stuff so often and not know?!  (-:
    
    I wouldn't eliminate making green rangers though .... the kids still
    LOVE him, esp since they  can't readily get their hands on the white
    ranger stuff.  The green ranger is green, and then has a shield over
    his chest that comes to a point ~3-4" (on a human) above his belly
    button.  It extends out past the natural shoulders.  If you don't have
    a mold specifically for either of these guys, it'd be tough to make one
    of the "regular" rangers look like this.
    
    Funny comment about Trini .... I don't like Kimberly because she's too
    goody-two-shoes, and still seems to have that hint of
    All-American-Sarcastic teen.  Maybe I'm reading into things (-:
    
    
    
914.16Micro Machines cheap & completeSWAM2::GOLDMAN_MAWalking Incubator, Use CautionMon Mar 06 1995 18:5124
    For *older* children (who don't eat the toys any more) Micro Machines
    has a really nice collection of Rangers in one box, including a couple
    of the "bad guys" and the White Ranger.  Mind you, these are teeny
    weeny things, which get under parents' feet and make them groan loudly. 
    I suggest giving them as a gift to the child of the person who gave
    your kid that (insert your most hated toy here - i.e., drum, 
    screaming electronic machine gun, toy with 8000 pieces under 1" each,
    etc.)  :)
    
    And the White Range looks very much like the Green Ranger, but the gold
    shoulder shield seems a little smaller, and he doesn't as much black
    trim as before or as any of the others do.  (I am one of those
    over-dedicated mom's who *sewed* a green ranger for Halloween - what a 
    hassle!!)
    
    In all seriousness, hubby and I spotted the Micro Machinns set at 
    Toys R Us for Xmas and got it for Joe, who is crazy about both Power
    Rangers/VR Troopers and about Micro Machines.  This was his 2nd
    favorite gift, the top of the line being the 1800 piece ($100+) collection 
    of K'nex my brother gave him. 
    
    I really wish my brother would have some kids -:)!

914.17THAT wasn't it!CLOUD9::WEIERPatty, DTN 381-0877Tue Mar 07 1995 11:2016
    
    I guess I was wrong .... The white (stuffed) ranger that Jason has
    looks like this;
    
    All white.  Black, full "vest" - you might call it a short, sleeveless
    jacket.  It comes right up to his neck, and covers his whole chest/back
    and upper stomach.  This is black w/ gold trim, AND over the shoulders
    has gold material that extends beyond the shoulders (sort of looks like
    wings). His dino-zord emblem is on his chest.  All the rest of the trim
    is gold - gold arm bands, gold leg bands.  
    
    Gawd, sewing the green ranger was bad enough - I hope he doesn't want
    to be the white ranger this year!! (w/ Jason it'd be more like the
    'gray' ranger anyway....)
