Well we've trekked through the Thunderzord helmets so it wouldn't be long before the journey through the Ninjetti would happen. So, let's start with the most requested, White Falcon Ninjetti.
Design
Like the thunderzord helmets, I wanted to keep with the original MMPR look, instead of drastically changing the design. With that being said, I kept the overall White Ranger aesthetic and made the embosses and cut out's more falcon-like to mesh with the theme. The mouth plate comes to a point to give off a beak type look while the design on the forehead resembles bird eyes and an aerodynamic-arrow pattern. Looks less like a tiger, and more like a bird essentially and if you look at it from the front, you'll see an angry bird coming at you.
Scrapped Ideas
I had plans to insert the ninjetti coin on the forehead but since this is originally a diaranger design it wouldn't have looked right. Besides, the white ranger design wouldn't allow for it because the coin is sitting in the chest, so it would've been redundant. With that being said, it's not ruled out with the others so don't be surprised if that becomes a thing. I also wanted to sorta combine the Kakuranger designs with the MMPR design. Get rid of the of the mouth plate and simply have nothing there to give the sense of a ninja mask. Unfortunately, that did not seem as appealing to me so I scrapped it. Again, that isn't to say this would be ruled out with the others. The white ranger is a unique design compared with the others so its possible.
{maybe next time I'll screen shot these scrapped designs to show you guys}
