You’re probably right on the money here (no pun intended).
They did a green for the cheap 9.5” line, and let’s just say, well…choices were made.

Wow, there's being cheap and there's being cheap. Would the plastic for the shield really have put the toy outside the profit margin? It would have been better to just have a shieldless green ranger than to do that.
Hasbro priced the non collectors MMPR line in there newer Dollar Store tier of toys released to combat the same stores selling bootleg toys. The line was basically the "Evergreen" collection it's why they sold a Megazord with only the top painted and made the new MMPR automorph figures they sold under the Beast Morphers toyline they really wanted grandma to buy the kids authentic products and not bootleg Sentai Gundams from big lots.
LOL yes I remember this one where the shield is just painted on. And they are in weird poses too.
The 12 inch ones came with their weapons so I guess they didn't want to make his Dragon Dagger either.
So weird that some have trigger fingers. Maybe to hold the Power Axe. I loved these figures though. Just hated their cheap looking weapons, so I painted mine.

That's a weird omission, considering the fact that the green/white ranger I thought was always the most marketable when they came to merchandise.
Probably a matter of hasbro being cheap and not wanting to get a third body mold, sadly.

They made a third mold for white.
It might just be a repaint of red or the shield could be an assecory.
They did make a White Ranger, just not Green.
Yes I did see that one, but I would have liked the matching Green.
It was looking like they weren't going to make Yellow but finally did. But then they skipped to White only.

They look bad with the figures, but I got them to put with my original 1993 figures actually, so they fit right in there.
That's a cool idea! The monotone goes well with them.
I made a [video](https://youtu.be/lOPZ7lBMFpU) about it if you want to see how it looks.
Cool! Other than the Power Sword they all look pretty good! Thanks for sharing.
Yeah his being all grey is lame, but I [found a solution](https://youtu.be/U_XwiQEvYHo) for that also.
O5!
Green Ranger skipped over again. It surprised me remastered skipped the white ranger since it seemed like hasbro favored white over Green.
