Revision as of 02:10, 21 October 2016

Icon-mightymorphinThis article is about a toyline featuring elements in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.


The Power Rangers Legacy toyline launched in 2013 originally to commemorate the franchise's 20th anniversary. The line focuses on remaking classic toys and props from the franchise's earlier years, with an emphasis on improved detail and die-cast parts.

As the line is targeted more towards adult collectors that grew up watching the show as children, the products are more expensive than typical Power Rangers products and contain a greater level of detail and quality. Due to high sales the Legacy line will continue on, with plans extending to at least another two years.

It should be noted that the Legacy toys are not re-releases of the original toy molds, but rather all-new molds, save for the original Legacy Megazord, (see below). Because of this, the Megazords in the Legacy line have Zordbuilder compatibility. Everything in the Legacy Line is a Toys R Us exclusive.


Wave One (2013)

Legacy Megazord

MMPR IMG 0158 zps8c58eedf

Regular box

The Legacy Megazord is a remake of the original Megazord. The toy mold is not that of the classic 1992 Zyuranger Daizyujin & 1993 MMPR toy, but rather the 2010 version released to coincide with the "reversioned" release of the original Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers TV series. It transforms and combines in the same way as the classic toy, despite a few minor alterations, but is improved with diecast components, metallic stickers and painted details. Like the 2010 Dino Megazord the Legacy Megazord is zord builder compatible with toys from the MMPR (2010) through Dino Charge toy lines including the addon motorcycles, etc.

In 2015, Bandai of America reissued the Megazord with the stickers already applied to the toy, a redesigned hilt on the power sword to make it easier to place into the hands, and stronger legs.


Legacy Power Morpher

MMPR Legacy Power Morpher

Legacy Power Morpher

The Legacy Power Morpher is a Power Morpher that comes with 5 weathered Power Coins made with diecast metal. The Morpher is slightly larger than the original 1992 Zyuranger Dino Buckler & 1993 MMPR Power Morpher toys, has diecast components and can play sound effects. The Legacy Morpher was re-released in the fall of 2015 making it the 3rd re-release of the normal toy. The button on the rear has the Z which is a reference to Zyuranger & also a holster for it too. The Legacy Morpher was used as a prop in Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger vs. Go-Busters: Dinosaur Great Battle! Farewell, Eternal Friends as Yamato Tribe Prince Geki's Dino Buckler with the Power Rangers font replaced & button painted red. The mold for the Legacy Morpher was later used to make the Super Sentai Artisan Dino Bucker. The only differences are the power rangers sound effects are replaced by the henshin sounds used in Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger, Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger font instead of Power Rangers, comes with only 1 coin, & TyrannoRanger's Dino Crystal.

Legacy Mask Collection

Legacy Mask Mollection

The Legacy Mask Collection is a set of six plastic helmets. It is in the same style as the Bandai Super Sentai Mask Collection, except with a black stem/neck, and a six-prong base instead of six single round ones. The Mask Collection only contains the helmets of the first six Rangers. It is unique in that it has panel lining on its grooved areas.

Wave Two (2014)

Legacy Green/White Ranger Power Morpher

This edition of the Legacy Power Morpher is exactly the same as the previous year's, but with gold colored diecast and new Power Coins representing the Green and White Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers. This morpher was first released at San Diego Comic-Con 2013 as a limited edition item. The San Diego Comic-Con version was a 24k Gold plated version with 24k gold Green & White Ranger coins. This release makes it the 1st time that the Green/White Ranger morpher was released outside of Japan which the Dragon Buckler from Zyuranger was never released in the original MMPR toyline.

Legacy Dragon Dagger

A brand-new remade version of the Green Ranger's classic weapon, with diecast components, classic sound effects and a chin-activated switch. It is larger than the original 1992 Zyuranger Zyusouken & 1994 MMPR Dragon Dagger releases & plays a more accurate version of the original Power Rangers theme song. A limited 24k gold version was offered at San Diego Comic-Con 2014 as a limited edition item.

Legacy Dragonzord

MMPR Dragonzord-2

Legacy Dragonzord

The Legacy Dragonzord is a remade version of the Green Ranger's Dragonzord. It can combine with the Legacy Megazord or the Dino Megazord from the 2010 toyline to form Battle Mode or MegaDragonzord, and can combine further with Legacy Titanus to form the Ultrazord. Despite being an entirely new mold it transforms the same way as the classic toy, but has diecast parts, alternate hands and an 11-inch fully-articulated tail, but unlike the 1992 Zyuranger Dragon Caesar & 1993 MMPR Dragonzord classic toys it does not have electronic components. There are 2 versions of the Legacy Dragonzord the version released in the US & Canada had gold colored shoulders while the version released in the UK had more a shiny gold for the shoulders.


Legacy Titanus The Carrierzord

Legacy Titanus the Carrierzord

The Legacy Titanus is a remade version of the Titanus the Carrierzord. It can combine with the previously-released Legacy Zords & the 2010 release of the Dino Megazord, to form the Ultrazord. Although its transforms the same way as the classic version it differs in some aspects. It's fully-articulated in its neck. It has detailed paint jobs and a sculpt that drives its higher price point. Its wheel is made from rubber, and it lacks the electronics of the classic toy that the 1992 Zyuranger King Brachion & 1993 MMPR Titnaus releases have, so it is moved manually and does not have the Mix n Morph gimmick of the 2010 Titanus had either since this release uses a brand new mold unlike the Legacy Megazord being based on the 2010 Dino Megazord. The Diecast Parts are in its front legs, the chest cannon and tip of tail cannon. It also includes two clip/adaptors that could be attached to the Megazord's knees to support the weight of the MegaDragonzord.
