Finster: (softens the last Putty Clay dought into three pieces which then placed into their respective slot in Putty Patroller's mold) Yes, Your Evil Badness, I'm holding the last ones now. Squatt: Those putties will make space dust out of those kids. Finster: (carefully closes the mold and then opens it, revealing clay dough pieces within has been shaped into miniature Putty Patrollers) And the beauty is, if they don't, we can always make more.

~ Rita Repulsa and Finster when creating the first Putty Patrollers. |
The Putty Patrollers were the standard footsoldiers utilised by the Evil Space Aliens and the main recurring footsoldiers of the Power Rangers franchise. They served as major antagonists in the first season of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, very minor antagonists in Power Rangers Beast Morphers and supporting antagonists in the hour-long special Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always which celebrated the franchise's thirtieth anniversary.
Although who voiced them is unclear, the Putty Patrollers were played in suit by an assortment of different actors including Danny Wayne Stallcup (who was also the suit actor for Goldar, Rito Revolto, Elgar, the Batlings and voiced Jindrax), Ed Neil (who also was the suit actor for Lord Zedd and later Rygog), Hien Nguyen (who also served as a suit actor for the Z Putty Patrollers), David Wald (who was also a double for Vypra in Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue) and Erik Betts who also played the Pudgy Pig in American footage.
Biographies[]
Past[]
The original Putty Patrollers were constructed by Finster using his Monster-Matic to help fight for Rita Repulsa a very long time ago. Though generally homogeneous and identical, Putties often display some level of individual personality, and are occasionally given number designations to identify them within a given group. At least some of them could talk, but only when disguised as a human. Indeed, not all Putties are created equal, as some examples show even less than the typically lacking skill level. Jason once even encountered one who could drive a car, much to his surprise. Such Putties are usually broken back down into their clay building blocks and recycled for use in other Putties, and perhaps even monsters. However, all of them were destroyed and no more were created for 10,000 years as Rita and her minions were sealed in a dumpster.
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Season 1[]
After 10,000 years of imprisonment, the Evil Space Aliens are freed by a pair of astronauts who find her dumpster on the Moon in 1993. Now free to take control of Earth, Rita re-establishes herself on the forgotten Moon Palace where Finster begins making new Putties and the first batch are sent to harass five teenagers summoned by Zordon. They are successful and more attack the city of Angel Grove with Goldar but the five teenagers become the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and repel the initial attack. From this point onwards, Rita begins sending down monsters to attack the planet with Putties often acting as support but this fails every time. On occasion, Putties pose as humans to aid the monsters in thier plans; most notably as clowns to help the Pineoctopus and during thier final use when one poses as a human to give Zack the Pearls of Stillness.
On Halloween 1993, Rita and her minions discover Super Putty under Angel Grove and use it to create Super Putty Patrollers but they are eventually exterminated by the Thunder Slingers. Later in the season, several are turned into duplicates of the Power Rangers by the Twin Man in an attempt to turn the public against the Power Rangers. In these new forms, they are far more underhanded and powerful but are easily dispatched as are several others that later form the Mutant Rangers with Commander Crayfish.
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Season 2[]
By mid-1994, Lord Zedd grows tired of Rita's increasing incompetence and comes to Earth himself to take command. Disgusted with the Putties' constant failures, he discontinues thier use in favour of the Z Putty Patrollers who are themselves later phased out in favour of the more powerful Tenga Warriors.
Zeo[]
Despite having long been discontinued by this point, and the Evil Space Aliens using the Tengas again when they later return, the Putties are mentioned once by Bulk and Skull. After the run-in with Rito and Goldar during Mace Face's attack, Lt. Jerome Stone shows them ink blot drawings to assess their mental health. Still scared, they call even the most indecipherable drawings monsters and mistake the last for being a Putty.
Dino Thunder[]
The very first Putty Patrollers that attacked the Power Rangers outside the Command Center are featured in a chronicle of Power Ranger history compiled by Tommy Oliver shortly after he formed the Dino Rangers which is found by the nascent Ranger team in the Dino Lab.
Beast Morphers[]
Twenty six years after thier discontinuation, Ryjack comes to Earth and alligns himself with Evox where he reveals his Reanimizer which can resurrect past defeated enemies. With it, he resurrects the Putties, Triptoids and Vivix and this continues being used after his death until the death of Goldar Maximus after which no more Putties are created.
Once and Always[]
Two years later, Rita is accidentally revived by Billy when he tries to bring back Zordon's essence which allows her to somehow create Putties. These Putties are identical to the originals albeit stronger (able to aid Robo-Minotaur and Robo-Snizzard in capturing Rangers later on despite still woefully outmatched against better prepared heroes) and they explode into clay pebbles after being destroyed.
Many of these new generation of Putties aid her during a fight on the cliffs outside Angel Grove where Trini winds up getting killed despite all of the Putties swiftly being decimated. A year later, these putties invaded different corners of Earth to lure out Rangers and subsequently aid Robo-Minotaur and Robo-Snizzard in capturing them to be used as unwilling living batteries to power up her time machine. But Alpha 9 discovers their tactics and warns the Rangers, including Mighty Morphin Rangers who just begin their part in dealing the invasion, to regroup, stalling Robo-Rita's true plan but letting remaining Putties on Earth continue wreaking havoc. Some of these putties even shown invading Youth Center and beating down Minh until Rocky and Zack come to her rescue and defeat them all while unmorphed. Four more Putties can be seen guarding Rita's time machine before being destroyed by Billy, Zack, Katherine, and Rocky while being invisible via. Billy's new stealth tech. The rest of Putties guarding Moon Palace later summoned by Robo-Rita to deal morphed Mighty Morphin Rangers, Minh who have proven her worth as the next Yellow Ranger included, only to be swiftly destroyed.
Though it occurs off-screen, the remaining Putties fall apart following Robo-Rita's destruction due to her magic no longer being able to sustain them.
