 Post subject: MMPR Green Ranger

The second I saw the Imaginext Rangers, I knew I had to do this. I've always wanted a Joe-scale MMPR Green, so I built this one as a sort of sixth ranger ally for my Joes.

Recipe's pretty simple:
-Imaginext Green ranger head and weapon (swapped out the handle for a D.Maul lightsaber Hilt)
-Accelerator suit Ripcord torso and upper arms
-Clone Wars Clone trooper forearms and hands
-Retaliation Ninja Showdown Red Ninja upper Legs
-Retaliation Ninja Showdown Storm Shadow lower Legs
-Vest from like, every Retaliation figure ever
I still need to work on the underside of the helmet to allow for more clearance, but overall I'm pretty happy

As someone who was in no way ever a fan of the MMPR I am a big fan of this custom. It almost makes me want to try my hand at making one for myself.

That's high praise, thank you! the imaginext plastic was very easy to dremel, so I'd absolutely recommend giving it a shot. I also built this more as a "GI Joe-verse" Tommy, but I think there are a lot of great options if you wanted to go in a more traditional route.

The head sits a little high on the neck but I really dig the parts combo and colors. I would give the green on the helmet a coat to match the chest and take that new toy shine off.

I think the head is a bit too big. Lowering it might help.

I agree lowering it might help him not look so gangly but that is an otherwise fantastic use of parts.
