Am-gimmick

The auto-morphin action

Power Rangers released "flip-head" feature toys called "Auto-Morphin" figures. They feature alternate-heads of the actor's faces. Once a button is pressed, a spring is released, the figure's chest and back panel open to allow the heads to switch. The technology was later adapted by Kenner for The Mask, Toy Biz for Spider-Man, Playmates for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and JAKKS Pacific for WWE.

The "Auto-Morphin" feature would later be adapted to screen with Ninjaman for Kakuranger who became Ninjor for Mighty Morphin Power Rangers as an onscreen ability and the toy reflected the transforming gimmick.
