Did I miss anything? Comments? Questions? Please let me know!
I like the Bandai World version. It's simple and beautiful. The only thing I miss about it are the four gemstones that represent the senshis.
ReplyDeleteYes, I think overall I like its simple gold design.
DeleteFor me none of them seem to quite get it right. I actually like the Irwin's design, except the pink instead of gold. I guess I'd like the world version with the Irwin's gems! Or for the 1992 one in a larger size, because it always looks pretty small.
