The Legacy Communicator is incredibly overdue. This gorgeous recreation of the original communicators from the show is perfect in nearly every way. The die cast metal gives it an authentic, durable look, and the lights on the front are a very nice touch. Pressing the "set" button will activate the lights and sounds. They cycle between the standard communicator beep (though at a lower pitch than what was used in the show), a message from Zordon or Alpha, and the teleporation sound. Holding the button down will play a single round of the chorus of Go Go Power Rangers. The colored bands are very easy to swap out, and the set includes the core five Rangers.
It's not without its oddities. Two of the messages from Zordon tell the user to teleport to the command center, though Zordon says to "morph" there which doesn't make sense within the context of the show. Obviously, the late Robert Manahan does not provide the voice (but neither does David Fielding), with Zordon's voice sounding more like Gosei. The Alpha sound effect (Ai yai yai yai yai!) is cut off at the very end for reasons unknown. About a minute after you last pushed a button on the device, the "error tone" heard when the communicators failed in the show plays, which can be jarring because the Legacy Communicator is VERY LOUD. Accidentally pushing the button will disrupt just about anything you're doing, so be careful.
Those issues aside, the Legacy Communicator is a beautiful, long-overdue item from Bandai, and is definitely worth getting for anyone who loved the original series, and anyone who has been keeping up with the Legacy line so far.

Quirky, but epic.

A high quality prop replica of the Communicator from the original show. I recommend taking it to a jeweler to get links taken out if it's to loose on your wrist. I highly recommend this for cosplay or as a great center piece to any Power Rangers collection!

For those who are misunderstood and think it's some kind of watch or walkie-talkie, it's NOT... It's just a replica of one used in the tv show. All it does is has lights and sounds from the TV SHOW when you press the yellow button.... Nothing more.
I got one that was open with the tab removed from the battery case which was VERY odd but I called and Amazon replaced it immediately and even gave me free next day shipping (I'm also a prime member). But now I received a brand new sealed one so I'm very happy!! I've been waiting for this since I was a kid! I almost bought a replica from another site but it has no lights or sounds and the band colors aren't interchangeable. Glad I bought this!
