>>11504995With those I could at least understand being a smaller scale makes a combinable weapon more difficult, and the Putty was available at the same time as the Rangers, so you knew if you wanted the Power Blaster you needed to buy a Putty.
There's no reason Playmates couldn't have made these weapons combinable. Bandai did it with their original Automorphins in 94, and did it again with the 2014 Action Heroes. Neither required any moving parts. This is again not a limitation of budget, but poor design which prevents the weapons from being able to combine.
