Move over LEGO Voltron, there’s a new combining mecha king in town and the power is on their side. Builder Moko has been impressing us for nearly 20 years with LEGO mechs that mix style with unmatched play function. Moko’s latest masterwork will be instantly familiar to any ’90s kids and sentai fans: the Megazord from Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers (Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger in Japan). Moko recreates each of the five Dinozords that transform and combine with functionality to rival the best mech toys around.
Standing 18″ (46cm) tall, the Megazord falls between the heights of Voltron and the Hulkbuster. It’s remarkable how much articulation and detail Moko achieves at this scale while also achieving a studs-free look. The model is also impressively sturdy in all three forms, with joints that allow it to hold dynamic poses. It’s easier to fully appreciate Moko’s craft by seeing the model posed and transformed in action.
The five Dinozords are just as impressive and screen-accurate when broken out into their prehistoric beast forms. I especially like the shaping of the Triceratops Dinozord’s frill and the toy-like accuracy of Tyrannosaurus Dinozord’s head with its energy-blaster eyes.
Of course, the Dinozords can also combine into Tank Mode for a bit of artillery fire warm-up to the main mech battle.
Once combined into the Dino Megazord, the Power Rangers are ready to take on their most dangerous foes, especially when armed with the Power Sword for a finishing blow.
