The fact JDF pitched this to Hasbro makes it even more special. Dino Thunder Black was my favorite version of Tommy. Great overall review, dude. Especially when you focused on how Tommy grew as a character across his different Ranger forms.
I love the thumbnail in the snow. I still believe that the Master Morpher was severely underproduced in number and there was no way they could have ever met the huge demand when Hasbro was about to give up on the franchise. It’s a shame if you want it now you’ll have to pay the price of a new next gen console. Regardless, this is the definitive Tommy Oliver product/experience!
Kamen Rider really spoiled me when it comes to Role Play toys. Now everything better either be made of good quality plastic or include voice lines from the actual actors.
Kinda agree with you on that one. That Grand Zi-O Ridewatch is just sick. But, even the best plastic quality or the use of diecast could become a lost cause if the paint apps aren't on point. (Example: Bandai America's Overdrive Tracker from 2007's Power Rangers Operation Overdrive. Not as feature rich as the Accellular from 2006's Gogo Sentai Boukenger, but still a relatively robust toy with its own announcer that's not even used in Operation Overdrive. BUT...that silver paint used was absolute trash tier quality and was worn away pretty badly from my unit in less than a week.)
Master morpher sad last JDF product. Bandai should have released one before Hasbro rook over. Many fans made DIY Master morpher with the legacy morpher. I got it since I’ve never had a morpher Tommy’s since I was a kid. Since legacy is too expensive.
Unfortunately I didn’t get the chance to get it was sold out immediately when I try to pre order. I was too busy at work to get it and of course I’m not supposed to be on my phone. Now is over priced on the internet like 300 dollars.
While I didn’t get it when it was on Hasbro Pulse, I was lucky enough to win one off an eBay auction for $168. My most expensive purchase for a power rangers item but nowhere near as expensive as it could be. I regret never meeting JDF before his passing so this morpher is my way of paying homage to him. I feel like losing him in a way meant the end of the franchise as it hasn’t continued since his passing. I do hope power rangers continues on because I know JDF would not want it to end just because he’s gone.
When folks say “this ruined my childhood”, this kinda was that moment for me. I grew up with power rangers, and when I woke up to find out he passed away, a big chunk of my childhood ended that day.
I was gutted I couldn’t get it from hasbro UK, like you said the EU wouldn’t cross shipping. Fortunately my partners dad lives in the US so I took a gamble and ordered 2 to his address and it all went smooth 👌🏽 sold my second one to pay for my own but I kind of wish I kept it now! Eternally grateful from this, my childhood hero!
To be honest I'm surprised how poorly Hasbro handle to whole Master Morpher sale. It sold out very fast. It wasn't a limited edition. So it kind of sucks that Hasbro didn't try to take some more preorders as 1. it wasn't going to affect shipment as these were still being made, 2 they love money
It's Talos From secret Invasion BUT his neck was attached to his head so it isn't perfect ie the Tommy head doesn't clip on. I bet the retro Peter parker melancola mentions could work better.
@ It would be nice to know what civilian style figures from hasbro were lighting collection compatible but as far as I know that list has yet to be made by any ranger tuber. Thanks for the info though!
for a moment I thought it was fake snow to give it a nice effect lol also watching this now makes me not want to sale my sealed one that I have up for sale uhhh
Awesome thumbnail. I've got two of that Marvel Legends Talos but never thought of headswaps since the neck and head are one piece. If you dont mind me asking, what neck did you use?
They should've put white light behind the tiger and falcon coins. Otherwise, it could've worked for all the rangers if they gave them coins instead of the dopey wrist changers.
If you have the plates open, the lights ARE white for those two coins but when closed their light doesn't reach the centre and the green backplate just looks green
I don’t think it needs to be a JDF exclusive thing. Any ranger who’s had multiple sets of powers could have one. At the very least, anyone with a Zeo crystal fragment.
I’m Pretty Sure that if they never Fired JDF he would have Definitely Stayed until the In Space Season. To help Close Out the Zordon Era. Also Probably take the place of TJ.
@@powerrangertube Oh Yeah that's Right because of the Fact he Read in the News Paper or something that they are looking for a New Red Turbo Ranger amongst Other Turbo Rangers. And Guess I thought that he was Fired was because I couldn't Imagine Him Leaving Powers Rangers By Choice?
Main problem with this stuff that i cant relate with this i am a 2000's kid and grew up with dino thunder , spd and mystic force /rpm era , but all i see that they are only releasing only mmpr stuff ... Edit : where is aniversary edition spd morphers , mystic force ??? morphers etc
Fact: if you bought this from hasbro pulse, hasbro donated money from your purchase to a male suicide hotline. If you’re ever in a dark place (I’ve been there), you’re not alone.
I parted with mine just a couple of weeks ago, and I can't say that I miss it. I like the idea behind the electronics, but I'm ultimately meh on the shape of Hasbro's Power Morpher. I didn't like a lot of Bandai's changes on the Legacy version, either, but Hasbro kept them and then added more! Their stab is just so awkwardly thick and genuinely uncomfortable to hold for me...
The fact JDF pitched this to Hasbro makes it even more special.
Dino Thunder Black was my favorite version of Tommy.

This man put his Master Morpher close to the snow while I'm trying to keep those chromed Morpher plates as pristine as possible lmao
🤣 Anarchist over here
Mine came scratched from hasbro so it is what it is.
R.I.P JDF May the power protect you always 🐲🐅

The fact that Hasbro made this a limited release is criminal, and was one of the many warning signs that they had little faith in the brand.
Kamen Rider really spoiled me when it comes to Role Play toys. Now everything better either be made of good quality plastic or include voice lines from the actual actors.
true, also the sound quality is good for mainline roleplay items.

There are 2 bonus voice clips if you hold the morpher closed and hold the button down. They're one after the other.
Ooh thanks! I did not know this
The Master Morpher should have had a wider release. It likely would have if Bandai put it out.
I was extremely lucky to get 2 of them on preorders.
Ryan, I feel you I bought mine from EBay as well
Unfortunately I didn’t get the chance to get it was sold out immediately when I try to pre order. I was too busy at work to get it and of course I’m not supposed to be on my phone. Now is over priced on the internet like 300 dollars.
I still can't believe hasbro dropped the ball on this and the remastered figures. They were sold out everywhere and people wanted to buy them

That's an awesome Morpher!
Do you guys happen to know how to import the Morpher voice lines and sound effects from the toy to a PC?
The fact they did plastic and not die cast was the biggest slap in the face
To be honest I'm surprised how poorly Hasbro handle to whole Master Morpher sale.
It sold out very fast. It wasn't a limited edition. So it kind of sucks that Hasbro didn't try to take some more preorders as 1. it wasn't going to affect shipment as these were still being made, 2 they love money
They barely made any. No respect at all for JDF. It should be reissued
I got my the day the item went up for pre order on hasbro pulse
What figure did you use for Tommy’s civilian form?
That's what im wondering
Dino Thunder Black head + Marvel Legends Retro Peter Parker
It's Talos From secret Invasion BUT his neck was attached to his head so it isn't perfect ie the Tommy head doesn't clip on. I bet the retro Peter parker melancola mentions could work better.
@@powerrangertube might be the same body as they've reused it a lot (eg. Marvel Legends Stan Lee)
@ It would be nice to know what civilian style figures from hasbro were lighting collection compatible but as far as I know that list has yet to be made by any ranger tuber. Thanks for the info though!
11:58 Very well said
I am proud to have the Master morpher in my collection. In germany you has only one time to buy this Thing.
Looks more like a legacy item aside from the coins could use alittle more color detail
for a moment I thought it was fake snow to give it a nice effect lol
also watching this now makes me not want to sale my sealed one that I have up for sale uhhh
Awesome thumbnail. I've got two of that Marvel Legends Talos but never thought of headswaps since the neck and head are one piece. If you dont mind me asking, what neck did you use?
I didn't! It's just white tacked on 🙈
I do hope to get my own copy one day
The only downside with this, is that I think the transformation calls should have been the first push of the button.
Completely agree. Actually, a hold should've activated the morphing call and a press shouldve cycled through the "extras"
6:25 i thought mine was defective bc mine flashes black when his dialog starts in green mode, but i guess it happens regularly.
I never got the white ranger under the LC line
Perfect ❤!
They should've put white light behind the tiger and falcon coins. Otherwise, it could've worked for all the rangers if they gave them coins instead of the dopey wrist changers.
Yep its an error reading the coin wrong
If you have the plates open, the lights ARE white for those two coins but when closed their light doesn't reach the centre and the green backplate just looks green
At least lightning collection has made an accurate updated version of the mmpr mor9her with the accurate color botton
The Holy Grail of morphers
I don’t think it needs to be a JDF exclusive thing. Any ranger who’s had multiple sets of powers could have one. At the very least, anyone with a Zeo crystal fragment.
❤❤
I might get it. Preferably not for 500 aud.
any1 know when white dragon is coming out, starting to feel like waiting for gta 6
Mine broke after a day with playing with it and it could never read the zeo or turbo coin.
What happened?
I’m Pretty Sure that if they never Fired JDF he would have Definitely Stayed until the In Space Season. To help Close Out the Zordon Era. Also Probably take the place of TJ.
He actually left the show by choice
@@powerrangertube Oh Yeah that's Right because of the Fact he Read in the News Paper or something that they are looking for a New Red Turbo Ranger amongst Other Turbo Rangers. And Guess I thought that he was Fired was because I couldn't Imagine Him Leaving Powers Rangers By Choice?
Where can I buy is without spending an arm and leg
Sadly you can't anymore.
Main problem with this stuff that i cant relate with this i am a 2000's kid and grew up with dino thunder , spd and mystic force /rpm era , but all i see that they are only releasing only mmpr stuff ...
Edit : where is aniversary edition spd morphers , mystic force ??? morphers etc
Fact: if you bought this from hasbro pulse, hasbro donated money from your purchase to a male suicide hotline.

Here's a real question is it worth 500$?
Dumb show so glad it's dead
