A few weeks ago, my local comic shop had a 1993 Megazord for 100. The box was pretty beat up and moldy, so I didn't have high hopes for it. Turns out, everything inside was brand new, with the sticker sheets unused, and the detachable peices (wings, tusks, ect) still with their plastic connectors. It had apparently belonged to a store employee who had gotten it as a gift as a kid but never played with it, so it sat in their attic. I was floored to get a new one for so cheap.

Huh, I didn’t know that the Zords from Zyuranger were sold separately in sets like that in Japan for a time. I know many subsequent Sentai did that (and still do) but seeing the original 1992 Zyuranger mecha sold individually in individual packaging is something I wasn’t expecting!

Always cool to see what kinds of things people use to restore older toys. I hope they do one for the SOC Megazord, because for some reason the chrome/diecast on that gets really dull after a while. I hear it's a pretty common issue, but I haven't been able to find a solution online.

What about a "mini" series where you pick a megazord or other random item/subline from the collection and go over what makes it "complete", talking about easily lost/broken parts for people just getting into pr/sentai collecting. For example, i never knew about the part that lets titanus pull the tank mode so either it was a sentai only piece or only with the first release cause my childhood titanus was the second release from the ninja/shogun zord era.
@MMPRtoys Жыл бұрын
I'm guessing return of Titanus didn't include those pieces since they were specific to the original Megazord. First release had them for sure.

I'd say as long as you dry things quickly, probably okay. My 93 - 03 collection was in the basement of my dad's office in NJ when I was living in CA when one hurricane or another flooded that basement. By the time I made it back to NJ, mold was growing under a lot of the stickers and boxes. Probably would have been fine had I been there at the time. It was a while later that I finally made the trip back. 😕

I don't get how one loses the tricera horns but I guess 90's kids were just rough with the zords. I've had to repaint up my abaranger/dino thunder zords. Used a gundam set of markers and the paint matched the original's in most cases. Even helped to improve my PR mezodon rover some since Bandai took out most of the paint and getting the sentai version is harder.

So I bought a fully complete Zeo Megazord but I forgot to ask if it was in a smoke free house… Turns out it wasn’t… I got the majority of the nicotine residue off, but there is still a little tinge in some areas. I was wondering if there was a solution to brighten up the zords from discoloration
@MMPRtoys Жыл бұрын
Oh man... I got a set of vinyl Galactabeasts ages ago. I never thought much of the "from a pet/smoke free home thing" until I opened that box. THE SMELL WAS SO STRONG I COULD SEE IT! I don't remember how long it took for the smell to go away, but it was a long time, and I sprayed everything I had in the house on them and they had many baths. The color was okay at least, so, I don't know what's involved in removing the stains, but I've got a lot of cleaning videos on this channel that have gone over everything I'm currently doing. If none of that works I'd probably look up something on KZfaq about removing nicotine stains from plastic. I'm cleaning things that can be wiped away, vs chemical reaction changes to plastic. Same deal with sun damage, my fix for that would be to repaint. I never had any luck with whitening yellowed plastic, even though I've seen other people do it.

Recently picked up a group of vintage toys at an auction and among them was what Google lens identified as a: 1999 Bandai Power Rangers Deluxe Lost Galaxy Megazord. It’s the one with the gold spikes on his head. I saw it has a switch on the back of the body, so it made me think battery, but I don’t see a battery compartment. What does the battery operate? Lights and sounds? Yours was one of the few recent videos on Megazord restoration so thought I’d ask about how to get to the battery to check/change it. Don’t want to break it by just starting to take out screws.
