"Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" was a TV show that was released in the 1990s. It featured a group of ninja superheroes who also happened to be teenagers. It was an instant success and has been a mainstay in popular culture for decades. Those who grew up watching the show are now looking back on the beloved series and searching for new ways to relive their childhood. Power Ranger Halloween costumes are the perfect way to do so.
The best Power Ranger costume for adults is the Pink Ranger costume from Disguise. It features the design for the female Ranger with a body suit with a belt and detachable buckle, pair of gloves and glasses.
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers was the original name for the series. It featured five teenagers whose superhero alter egos were different colored Power Rangers. As an evil sorceress and her alien army invaded Earth, the all-knowing entity named Zordon gathered a group of teenagers to protect it. He gave them superhuman abilities and powerful weapons, including the ability to transform into a giant mech made of all their powers combined (hence the "Morphin" in the show's title).
Each character had their own suits that helped protect them as they fought off the evil alien horde. Every ranger's suit has a bright base color, diamond designs and white accents. Their helmets were similarly colored and each represented a different animal that the Rangers could transform into. For example, the Red Ranger was a Tyrannosaurus while the Black Ranger was a Mastodon. Their belts contained a special buckle that allowed them to transform into their Ranger form. Each belt featured a carving of their animal as well.
While there were plenty of other characters in the series, the most common adult Power Rangers costumes are the original Rangers: Zack, Trini, Jason, Kimberly and Billy, who are the Black Ranger, Yellow Ranger, Red Ranger, Pink Ranger and Blue Ranger. Later, a sixth Ranger was added: Tommy the Green Power Ranger. He was represented by the Jungle Elephant.
The belts were the sources of power for the Rangers and as you can imagine they're a crucial part of any Power Ranger costume. The adult Pink Power Ranger costume has a belt featuring a Pterodactyl. The Red Power Ranger costume shows the Tyrannosaurus on its belt. Each belt is mostly white with an elaborate belt buckle, lights and a gold medallion of each Ranger's animal.
Like virtually every other superhero throughout history (except Superman), the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers wore masks to protect their identity. Remember, they were just teenagers who were plucked from their ordinary lives to save the planet. Not unlike their belts, each mask represents their spirit animal as well as their color. You see subtle hints like a carve-out of the eyes, nose and mouth of a Saber Tooth Tiger in Trini's Yellow Ranger mask. Every high-quality Power Rangers costume will feature this small detail in their masks.
Unless you're built like the original Power Rangers, you may need a little extra help to appear like them on Halloween. For this, look for costumes with sewn-in muscles. These costumes use foam padding to add bulk to the suit. The padding is mostly featured in the chest, arms and torso area. There's also special shading and lines on the suit to add to the illusion of muscles.
Power Ranger costumes for adults cost between $65 and $116.
A. Most adult Power Ranger costumes come with masks. They were a crucial part of the characters' suits so it wouldn't make sense to sell the costume without it. Most masks are considered half-masks because they only cover the front half of your head and use a thin piece of elastic to keep it in place. You can find full masks on some higher-quality costumes.
A. The original series' outfits were quite form-fitting because they were made with elastic and spandex. However, you can find some Power Rangers costumes that are looser in fit. You can also order a size up to allow for more room.
