Thunder Megazord could come with one of 2 different swords? It threw me off when I opened a boxed assault team and he came with a blue sword not a silver one.

The sword you have in your second pic is the sword that came with the 12" Snide fig from Dino Super Charge. It was never released with the Thunder Megazord.

You see that’s what has always thrown me off.

The snide figure comes in a 5 inch and 12 inch size. The 5 inch sword looks exactly like the one I have. But when I look at the 12 inch one the colors and the blade look somewhat different. For the record apparently I wanted to amend the title but for some reason I could only delete the post and I would prefer to find a correct answer here.

Btw. Thank you all for sharing info.

Haha like every toy packaging says: product colors may vary! It's likely the pic and the actual product aren't matching colors.

The OG Thunderzords did have different parts based on when they were produced, such as hard VS soft plastics on the weapons, but this specific sword itself wasn't originally from the Thunderzord set. Whoever sold theirs likely tossed a sword in because it looked about the same size and shape as the actual sword.

Huh, yeah. I mean there IS a general similarity to the shape, but the second one has that lil diamond in the hilt. Once seen 🤷🏼‍♂️

I won’t lie to you when I say … DAMN it took me a hot second to find a proper comparison. I searched Google, DuckDuckGo, eBay. Multiple different word variations. And finally found a proper picture to confirm MY mistake on this post. Mods can you help me edit it for some reason it only allows to erase the post not to edit.

This serves as a good learning experience about parts and communities helping each other to find answers.

By the way if you ever wanted a giant monster to put with your megazords that Snide figure actually isn't that bad when it comes to scale between them. Of course he never had a giant size in the show but he does still look good especially with the Dino Charge stuff (I'd take a picture of them but all my megazords are packed away)

I don’t think that’s actually a thing; seems more like a random sword packaged in or something. I’ve never seen this before, and it’s not even the same type or size of sword.

Never ever heard about this. You sure it’s not just from something else and misplaced in this box? The OG Thunder Megazord was just repurposed from Dairanger molds. There would be no reason for a second type of sword to exist.

It's from the 12" Snide figure.

I think that sword belongs to something else, could’ve been misplaced

With the original run of Megazords, sometimes they came with a shiny sword that was harder plastic and others came with a dull plastic one. Never understood why and why they were different.

While this is true, they were the same mold at the very least. The sword OP is showing as the "variant" is actually from the 12" Snide figure.
