There's a fine line between a cool looking foam and spandex ranger suit, and one that just tries to do too much. I can't help but look at this ranger's flashy suit and think that he has to be compensating for something.

The short-lived gay pride ranger.

A green ranger...yeah, I guess...but not MY green ranger!

A blue cat-themed ranger. I think this series made it to America in the form of "Ninja Rangers" or something like that. But then again, since all the rangers look pretty similar, I could be wrong.

He doesn't look like a regular Power Ranger. Could he be some sort of evil anti-ranger?

I think this ranger series made it to America in the form of something like "Special Force Rescue Rangers," but I could be wrong.

One of the many red Power Rangers. When I told my coworkers in the anime section that I loved the green ranger most of all, gasps were heard. After a pause, one of my coworkers responded, "But everyone is supposed to love the red ranger!"

This drilling zord is from the current Go Go Adventure Rangers series in Japan. Japanese footage from this series will be used to create the upcoming 2006-2007 season of the American Power Rangers TV show. Unfortunately, I doubt they will keep Psychic Lover's theme song for the American release.

A more Japanese / samurai looking megazord.

One of the many megazords, fully transformed.

The red ranger's power blaster from the series Bird Jet Rangers in Japan.

The red ranger's power sword from the same series.

A cat head weapon of some sort, obviously used by the red ranger.

Nifty looking Power Ranger swords and assorted slicing weapons.

Power Ranger blasters.

And now, the crown jewel of the Ranger weapons exhibit; Saba. After his green ranger power ran out, Zordon and Alpha 5 turned Tommy into the new White Tiger Ranger. His weapon of Choice was Saba, a short sword with a talking tiger head on the handle named Saba. This is my number (3) Power Ranger's most wanted item. The only thing better would have been the green ranger's dragon flute (2) or better yet the dragonzord itself (1).

Another view of Saba.

I thought I'd take a break from all the superheroes for a moment and switch to Godzilla. I mean, who doesn't love Godzilla?!

Godzilla's bust. This particular piece was used to film scenes when the lizard emerged from the depths of the ocean and was partially submerged in water.

The big guy from the rear.
