This brings back memories. ;D I used to collect these up to Zeo, I think, then lost interest and ended up selling my stuff on ebay few years ago. Anyway, neat display, buffyfannumerouno.

I never forgave them either Artistix, I am still hoping that they make one. They had a Scorpina Figure for that series as well. Although the rumor now that Disney has taken over Power Rangers for the past 5 to 10 years that they plan on cancelling the series which would in the longrun cancel the toy series as well. Now with Disney buying Marvel they will concentrate more on Marvel and rid themselves of Power Rangers quicker. Power Rangers fans are hoping that the rumor of Disney making Power Rangers Animated will make them start over with Mighty Morphin Power Rangers extra episodes rebooting the original figures with new sculpts and human figures finally.

Where did you get your Rita figure? How does the White Mystic Ranger figure size up next to the US Mystic Force Figures?

I got Rita from a guy who does power ranger custom stuff.....had seen some of his things on ebay,,,,was a real nice guy to work with on this....
The white mystic ranger (udonna) is a little bit taller than the regular MF figures....she is approximately (give or take) about the same size as the jungle fury figures

My biggest toy regret is Power Rangers-related. I moved from Baltimore to North Carolina in 1997 when I was twelve. I was starting to get out of Power Rangers at the time, and I never saw the final episode that got rid of the remaining original cast members. But I had the original Auto-Morphin' figs and LOVED them! But my next door neighbor was younger and I thought he'd like the fgures, so I gave all my Rangers to him. I have regretted that decision ever since. I don't know WHY I did it, because I still loved those figures! I think about rebuying those six now (plus the White Ranger I never found) all the time, and one day I will. I kept holding out hope that those new body sculpt chase figures would eventually lead to a new collection of the original Rangers with swappable helmeted and actor face heads - that's my dream line. Oh, and that the girls would look like girls. Where did the playset with Alpha come from? I can't remember that at all, and it's awesome!

I never forgave them for cancelling Rita: Tell me about it! I think Rita was the one figure I've always wanted my whole life! I used to collect PR figures when I was a kid and I ALWAYS looked for Rita, little did I know she never got actually released. I think it's safe to say I cried a lot because of that! hehehe I would still buy her in a heart beat if she got released!

Love the Rita Joey. Do you know if the guy is still doing Power Rangers customs?
I'm not sure if this is crap or not, but I had thought I heard at some point the Rita figure was cancelled due to her pointy Madonna bosoms. A bit dangerous for kids I guess. Though no more so than her staff!
Who is the lass in the white dress?

Thanks.....The guy does still do customs, I am on his mailing list...I think the recent customs he had for sale were commuincator replicas....but yeah I assume he still does the figures as well....he actually makes molds for his customs then destroys the mold at some point..... also did you guys see this figure that was on ebay of Rita...talk about wow!!!! cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180401036866&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

Sweet merciful CRAP!! That is freakin amazing: You know I probably would have paid the $300 for such an awesome piece. I notice this little group in your pics Joey: That's the line I was planning to buy. I bought yellow & pink Ranger first, but when I went back for the guys they were gone. Could you tell me what the series was called? These other ones you have pictured I was interested in at one point, I had seen the yellow Ranger posted on some forum & she looks really cool: What was that series called? And did they ditch the pink Ranger at some point?

that first group is "operation overdrive".....the second group is "jungle fury".....I believe the last pink ranger was in "mystic force"........the other thing is that for the last 2 series there has only been on female and they both have been the yellow ranger (jungle fury and the most recent one is RPM)

RPM has recently added another girl as the Silver Ranger, they have 7 Rangers all together-5 guys, 2 girls. I have a feeling that this might be the last season according to rumors that Disney is getting rid of the line. The interesting thing about the US version of Power Rangers is that they finally started going with Sentai and having 1 girl Ranger, before they were making the yellow Rangers girls when the footage that they used from Sentai was guys fighting which is why they seemed so manly. So Trini's Sentai Counterpart was a guy.

I too am hoping that they finally release a Rita figure as well as her main aliens: Finster, Squatt, Baboo, Goldar(without wings), Scorpina and the Putty figures (so I can buy 6). That is great that you found Gold and Silver RPM Rangers, I am still on the hunt for them and have had no luck yet.
