Ninja Captor

Description

So it's new year.  And pretty soon, we'll be getting our new Super Sentai team.  Since that team is based on ninjas, I thought it'd be cool to try and make the first sentai based on ninjas.  I kid, but some people seem to think these guys should be counted as a Super Sentai series.  Sure, they have a team of multicolored spandex-y heroes, but that's where the similarities stop.  The confusion seems to stem from Toei's official lack of a decision until Ohranger or Gaoranger to exclude this series despite earlier including it on magazines pages with other Super Sentai series.  But in the end, the official word is these guys do not count.  They're just a sentai-like tokusatsu show.

Anyway, onto the characters:
Fire-Ninja Captor 7 is the red.
Wind-Ninja Captor 6 is the green.
Gold-Ninja Captor 5 is the yellow.
Ground-Ninja Captor 4 is the brown.
Flower-Ninja Captor 3 is the sole female in the pink.
Water-Ninja Captor 2 is the blue.
Thunder-Ninja Captor 1 is the orange.

The colors and bodies are fun because actual Sentai teams don't really play around with this too much, especially early on.  I mean, c'mon this team has orange AND brown.  And there's a teenage kid in Wind-Ninja Captor 6, so he's a little shorter and slighter than the basic males.  And Ground-Ninja Captor 4 is a big ol' boy, and I don't think that size of a body has ever been in an actual Sentai ranger suit.  And finally, Water-Ninja Captor 2 is a bit taller than the basic males.
Now the helmets are just ridiculous.  Sure, they reflect the individual elements, but it's just sooooooo over-the-top.  Scarves seem to be a must in early rider/sentai shows, so it's nice these guys have them too.  There actually is a badge decal under the scarves, but I hid it with them.  Their belts have discs and pockets on them.  I think it would've been cool to see more individual chests like Flower-Ninja Captor 3 has, but that's OK.  


Everything here is my hard work. Please don't touch anything without permission. Thanks.

I remember years ago I found a "Super Sentai" team with an Orange and a Brown Ranger, and I thought... "Orange? Cool, But that Brown guy is huge, like Bulk, why didn't they just do him like Justin and make the suit actor a buff adult male?"


And then I thought that it was interesting that they were element based. I remember thinking that instead of Yellow being Steel, Grey could be Steel, and keep him a guy, that way Yellow could be a girl, then I thought that White could be Light and Black would be Darkness, like Yin and Yang or something, the I thought that Purple and Poison would be a great combo. But then I got to the last element I could think of ... Ice, and that its color would be Yellow, my young mind said "Oh no! Don't eat the Yellow Snow!!" lol.


That was around 2001, I wasn't even in high school back then, which now that I'm an adult has a very different meaning, for the "eating" the Yellow Snow, Female Ranger, lol.


But I could never find that show again, so thanks, I'm making a note of this show, as the Only one with a Brown Ranger and the First with an Orange.
