I've been a Super Sentai fan for several years now and I don't have any merchandise from it. The real stuff is a bit too pricey, so I looked to the Power Rangers stuff. I rather liked the idea of the retrofire series. I looked at some reviews and the Jungle Pride megazord seemed to be the best figure currently available.

I thought the articulation was pretty cool, totaling 18 points. But the paint scheme seemed too simple. So I added all the details to make it show accurate.

I added:
- blue paint on the GekiTiger's eyes as well as the black trim around it going up to the ears.
- Changed the black on the outside of the face to silver and the bits on the inside to black.
- Painted the "rings" on the biceps black
- filled the holes on the back of the fists with hot glue and painted orange.
- painted the fist claws silver
- black paint on the back stripes and back skirt.
- black details on the tiger paws at the thighs
- black on the thigh and lower thigh
- silver on the back of the legs
- orange on the leg bumps
- black on the back of the legs under the silver
- yellow on GekiCheetah's spots
- black on GekiCheetah's head spots
- silver on the feet of GekiCheetah and GekiJaguar as well as the top of the eyes above the "sunglasses"
- black on the cheek stripes of GekiJaguar.

 

Very nice.   I always thought retrofire could go a bit pricier if it had better paint aps and joints. (As in all the same as this one.)

 

Thanks!

Yeah, I have NO idea why all the others don't have the same joints. The lack of detail I can understand, but really, the articulation for a toy line should remain roughly constant.
