So many places to put this :confused: , but I think here would be fine.
Let's start with:
Red Ranger: (Eric0101 Kit) - (Paint & Construction by ?) - (Obtained by eBay)
Review: It's a great looking helmet and excellently detailed on Eric's side. My only critique is that it is a stunt cast helmet and is smaller in size. The paint and construction of the helmet is Fair at best. The hinge clips are loose and needs to be replaced and repainted. Also it needs a visor piece and padding installed.
Black Ranger: (? Kit) - (Paint & Construction by ?) - (Obtained by eBay)
Review: Originally I obtained this through eBay and it came with Helmet, Jumpsuit, Gloves and a Belt. I would like to say it's a (colorsuits - eBay ID) helmet, but unfortunately I'm not aware of the kit's originator 100%. The Helmet itself is beautifully constructed and painted with good detail. It's actually fully finished with working inside hinges, padding and visor.
White Ranger: (? - Cosplayhouse Kit) - (Paint & Construction by Cosplayhouse) - (Obtained by eBay)
Review: Again another purchase through eBay. This one came with a Helmet, Jumpsuit, Shield and Boots. I later acquired a Saba Sword, Gold Belt, Custom Buckle and Gloves. For the Helmet I would like to save it's fairly painted well and construction is average at best. Paint coats were not properly evened out so you can see a thicker layer in the gold. Needed additional sanding and smoothing, but just a little bit to make it perfect. Hinges are on the outside of helmet, Padding and visor installed.
Blue Ranger: (? - Model4Hobby Kit) - (Paint & Construction by Model4Hobby) - (Obtained by eBay)
Review: This is the most recent helmet I've received and out of all the helmets this one and Black Ranger seems to be the more professional finish side. Yes it's missing the White outline above the visor, but I think this was more towards the earlier version where the helmets were not as detailed. Hinges are on the inside. Fully finished and beautifully constructed and painted.
Red, Pink & Green Ranger: (Produced by Disguise - Official License Brand)
Review: These are all by the same maker "DISGUISE." These are also the only fully released version of the helmets that they have produced thus far. By this I mean it covers the whole head and not just a mask, which they also make. The Red Ranger helmet pictured is the 20th Anniversary Edition that was produced late last year. Came with the entire gear - Helmet, Jumpsuit, Gloves, Belt, and boot covers. Although the helmet was better designed than the previous version it stands as something cheap and affordable if you can't afford the real thing or... a replica of. Pink Ranger would've been nicely constructed if there wasn't 2 circular holes on each side of the helmet and cut out eye holes where the visor is. Considering they gave us a back side to the helmet I guess makes up for that. I'm pretty sure some customizing can replace it altogether and make something a little more decent. Moving on is the Green Ranger Helmet and probably by far the best in my opinion. The only thing I didn't like about it was the muscle up jumpsuit and foamy shield. Really got it for the helmet. And this is also another good alternative if you can't afford the $300 ones.
