When the Turtles got the Rangers' Power Coins in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, that left the gang from Angel Grove powerless... but not helpless.

In a better world, creating toys would be more affordable, and Hasbro would have been able to make this sub-line more than four releases (heavy on the re-use). Imagine: each set featuring one Morphed Turtle, and one de-powered Ninja Ranger!
Simone di Meo designed some awesome costumes for the kids, and they'd have been super cool to get as toys.
