Figuarts

Are the figuarts heads all one size and interchangeable like figma?

>>6135983

Yes and no.

They vary depend on when they were produced. You can put a Goku head on the Power Rangers but you can't put Bruce Lee's even though you can put it on a Stormtrooper.

It all depends on the size of the peg and hole which is dependent on when it was produced. This is why you can't put the new Trunk's head (the one with the long hair) on the previous one's body. The peg and holes got bigger.

Also female characters are really easy to break when you try to take their heads off.

How are the new legacy figures bandai is doing, they seem decent on videos but they looked weird at the store.

>>6137537
I have the first wave and like them. The articulation is good, size is good, basically everything is good for the 20 bucks you pay. There are a few nitpicks like exposed shoulder pins and a lack of their classic weapons, but I enjoy them nonetheless. I have to get the new wave but nobody in my area has them.

the ones I find at goodwill

>>6137537

I think they look really sharp and clean, but the minuscule blasters and lack of weapons makes me not want them.

>>6135967
The MMPR through Lightspeed rescue zords are some of the best toys ever made

I missed out on the figuarts since I was an idiot and waited until all of them to be released before I decided to buy them and ended up forgetting entirely and now they're too expensive, I even had both pink and red in my hand at one point and left them behind

So now I'm getting all of the legacy line as they come since they won't be making any new shipments of old waves and I have to say they're a great substitute for people who missed out on the figuarts and worth the $20 each

Only problems are that my yellow rangers have loose ankles, wave 2 mmpr have the wrong belts, the skirts limit the girls posing drastically and only Ninja Storm get more than 1 accessory

>>6137831
The Tommy's show was fun.
It even reinvindicated OhRanger and made it more than a national park of the week ad.

I got them all at retail price in the wild over a period of two months except Green. I got scalped $100 for him. Never got White because I was never down with White.

Go Green or go home

>>6137875
I kind of want the Legacy ones over the Figuarts for Power Rangers since some of the guys on MMPR were huge compared to the japanese suit actors.
Shame about the weapons, though I'm getting kind of used to the idea of Jason grabbing the goddamn Megazord's sword.

Now, if I could fucking find them on my country.

>>6137882
I'd say don't wait on that since they're limited edition and finding red and green is getting harder and harder, try to find some online

Too big, shit body sculpts, useless Megazord BAF instead of weapons, inconsistency issues already (half the MMPR's have grey belts and less paint on the morphers). Bandai shit the bed big time with these. Should have just continued finishing teams in the 5 inch line.

>Power rangers fags still get cucked on psycho ranger toys

I want to make a ranger team of my favorite rangers but sadly the Figuarts line was cancelled so I see Legacy as my only way of getting them and sadly since they're much bigger than figuarts I can't even use the ones who got figuarts. I want:

Red SPD
Black RPM
Yellow
Blue NS
Pink LG
Gold Zeo
And a team of Tommy's Green/White/Black/Red

>>6139125
For years I've wanted all Tommy's forms in the same scale and style. Had to resort to the keys for this. The damn action hero line only needed to make Black to complete the set.

>>6137945
As I said, though, the reason I want the Legacy is because Geki is NOT MUH TEERANUHRENJA.
Sure, the Figuarts is spot on to the screen appearance but the Legacy is closer to St. John's body type. Kind of gay, I know, but what are toys for us but late mementos of dreams past?

So did they go back to the larger size for the figures? I remember Samurai had 4 inch figures which I didn't mind too much since I already had the Figuarts but newer teams don't have Figuarts. Sucks they skipped Toqger. Loved that show and would have liked a team.

This. I mean, when you see him shirtless in the show, he looks sorta built and stuff, but when he wears the suit it doesn't really show. It rather resembles the Figuarts build honestly.

>>6139391
They were about 5.5" from season 2 MMPR throughout RPM. Then 4" for the MMPR reversion, Samurai, and Megaforce. Then 5" from Super Megaforce onward (which includes the full MMPR team, every Red Ranger, and a handfull of sixths). And now we have the concurrent Legacy line, which is 6.5". Scale for this franchise is a total mess.

>>6139586
How do the 5" scale with the Figuarts? Those PR figures you have with the Figuart are the 6.5" and 4" right? Really debating getting the Ninja Steel line. I'll get the girls either way but I won't get the guys if they are too small.

>>6139601
That is the 5 inch next to the 6.5.

>>6139605
Damn, it looks so short and stocky. Guess I'll just get the girls for Ninja Steel and the Dino Charge that didn't get Figuarts.

>>6139616
They're the perfect size for a plethora of old monsters, vehicles, accessories, and playsets. I personally love them and am still bitter that they opted for the new oversized legacy line that scales with nothing as opposed to just continuing to complete teams in 5".

...That actually is pretty cool. I just hate how they try and make the PR figures so muscular. Even in the lines meant for adults. But seeing Daimaou there is making me reconsider. At the least I'll have the girls and Kyoryusilver.

Do you guys like PR or just the figures? Even as a child they always seemed like a show without substance to me

>>6135967
The zords

>>6140141
Every time I see the dragon zord I think to myself "I need to buy it." I know I don't have anywhere to put it, I don't have any other zords besides the chogokin megazord which doesn't scale with it, but I still WANT IT. Also, look at that black and gold one. Those are so cool do they do anything neat?

>>6140205
I'll be honest, the black and gold dragonzord is pretty much just a cool display piece unless you have the other legacy zord to connect it to. Much like Titanos and the Tor Shuttzlezord. Most of the others morph into their own individual zords

>>6140232
That's all I'd really look for. I was just wondering if it combined with the others in any way, which apparently it does! I assume the regular zord also came in those colors at some point?

>>6140065
i liked to watch it for the zord vs monster fights. i tried to watch the super sentai stuff cause tokufags talk about how superior they were to the american versions, but i didn't really see it.

>>6137881
This is straight up good posing

>>6139631
I love the fact we got tons of the Dino Charge villains but I just can't pay $10 for them. If TRU still had those buy 2 get 1 free sales I probably would start collecting.

Why did the Figuarts line have to die before I could get Time Force/In Space?

BoA will be releasing Legacy weapons, they're just trying to figure out how and when.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qquGF3Nx2EQ

>>6143078

Probably at Power Morphicon in some dumb exclusive that will make everyone hate them even more than they already do.

>>6143093
My bet is packaged with the White Ranger or what would be really cool if they just allowed us to order them directly from the BoA website.

File: Power-Morphicon-Legacy-Zeo-Rangers-Wave-Reveal.jpg (1B, 486x500px)

1B, 486x500px

>>6143099

I'm willing to bet if they package the weapons with White then it's going to cut into the rest of the budget for wave 3 and none of the In Space rangers from that assortment will come with their side weapons.

To give you have to take. They are running a business and have to keep production under a certain amount of money to keep these figures at an affordable price point.

My guess is if they do decide to release them at retail it will be a weapons pack in its own box and either take the spot of a figure meant for the Fall 2017 waves or will come in 2018 since they planned the assortments out already for the entire year. I'd say it's more likely for it to get released as an exclusive since plans are already put in place for the remainder of the year.

>>6143106
They could make a new tray that has a rectangle indent to store the weapons, this is something that is now reusable once every one to one and a half waves. My other option would be for them to place them inside a plastic baggy and tape it behind the figure tray. The downside to both of these ideas is the amount of massive faggots out there who steal BAF pieces, weapons and title belts. Either way I'm eager to see what BoA decides to do.

>>6143113

I don't think you understand, the budget for the line currently allows for the production of the figure, (Plastic & paint) inclusion of one weapon ,the BAF piece, and packaging. You can't just add more weapons and keep them at their $20 price point. Especially not seven whole weapons to one figure (Two yellow daggers, two blue lance pieces, one power axe, one power bow, one power sword.)

Doing so would either make them have to increase the price of the figures which would affect retail distribution or make them have to do a budget cut which could mean leaving out other accessories or skimping on paint or articulation.

I'd personally rather they had never went with the BAF aspect and focused on weapons but that's the route they went and I doubt it's changing any time soon.

Be it Sentai or PR action figures, were there ever boxsets with full teams? It never really made sense to sell them separately

>>6143121
>I'd personally rather they had never went with the BAF aspect
If the build a figure were a villain I might be willing to sacrifice weapons, but an out of scale Megazord adds nothing to the line. We really needed something useful since there's virtually nothing pre-existing that's in scale with the 6.5 inch size they went with. Or they could have simply not been retarded and kept the figures 5 inches in which we'd have been able to borrow whatever was missing from the old lines. Pic related, 2014 figure with 2001 weapon.

>>6137537
The line is mediocre because BoA keeps sticking to muscle rangers.

If they weren't oversized and had the correct proportions they could actually work the individual ranger weapons into the budget but nope gotta keep up with this "tradition"

Also BaF Zords are retarded and it should be villains instead.

What could have been a good replacement for the now dead Figuarts line became a mediocre one and I don't think they're worth the $20 pricepoint unless you're one of those drooling idiots who thinks size is everything.

>>6143106
Passed on the MMPR figures because I already have the Figuarts. But damn, I'm going to have to buy those Zeo Rangers...

Weren't the Dino Thunder rangers supposed to be rumored to be taking those confidential spots?

The only other ranger figure aside from the Gold Ranger I'd be interested in seeing would be the White Dino Ranger. I'd kill for some Psycho Rangers and some villains though.

>>6143672
It still confuses me that they thought muscle rangers were the way to go for "adult" collector figures. Then again many adult ranger fans I've interacted with are pretty autistic so I guess they knew their audience

1B, 486x500px

>>6143846
This and the scale are real head scratchers for me. Why have two lines running at two different scales? It's gonna make a lot of people who are buying both choose one or the other. I don't need two different lines of Rangers in two different scales, so I'm just sticking with the 5 inch stuff since they actually get monsters. Only way I'd be down with another scale is if they were compatible with figuarts, but 6.5? Who the fuck asked for 6.5?

They should have definitely talked to the fans and gotten a better sense of what they wanted before going forward with this line. After the 95 movie figures I was hoping for pic related.

>>6143156

Speaking of borrowing, the Imaginext Power Lances and Power Axe work well with Blue and Black. And the Power Sword that came with the Amrored Might Red Ranger is passable as well.

I have my Pink using the Loyal Subjects Power Bow as well but it's kind of wimpy.

>>6144130
MMPR has been released so many times that it's easy to find weapons that work, but the problem is any series beyond MMPR is pretty much fucked if the Legacy figures don't come with something.

>>6143106
The top secret figures are probably Zeo Gold, MMPR Red with Green's armor, In-Space Silver, and........ a weapons pack for the MMPR figures, including MMPR Megazord's sword?

>>6145189
Are you blind? Zeo Gold is shown there. And we already know the top-secret figures are the Dino Thunder Rangers minus White.

>>6145189
Fuck I'd almost kill for a silver space ranger but we are so not getting a weapons pack

>>6135974
/thread

but I do wish they made more before they killed the line.

For whatever reason they decided to stop making sentai figuarts.

>>6146004
You got a source on that? If it's dino thunder then I'm saving my money and pray for time force, lost galaxy and maybe spd

>>6146299
>whatever reason
They sold like shit. Aside from the MMPR stuff (and that's only because of the Western consumer base), you can still find practically all of them for MSRP or under.

>>6146408
It's come out from various sources. Grnrngr has Red and Blue listed on his site, and he wouldn't have done so if there weren't sources confirming them.

So has anyone bought the Dino Charge 5" figures? The girls skirts ruin leg articulation. This was also a problem with the RPM girls but you were able to cut slits up the skirts to give them much better articulation. Does this work with the Dino Charge girls? I heard there is something under their skirts that ruin their articulation even after you cut it.

File: power_ranger_blue_pink.jpg (1B, 486x500px)

1B, 486x500px

>>6146867
Seems like standard articulation under there. I've wanted to modify them since Super Megaforce but never got around to it. I wish they'd go back to the sculpted skirts from MF and OO. Even with the slits the current ones restrict the articulation too much.

>>6146900
I don't mind the actual skirts. My RPM girls have great leg movement. Especially Silver. Making them removable would be cool too. My biggest problem with the ranger line is the inconsistency with the sizes. The line was pretty in scale with each other until the MMPR 2010 line iirc. Then Samurai and Mega Force were too small. Another thing I don't like is how they go muscular for some but not others. The RPM rangers, Jungle Fury and SPD aren't muscular but the OO and Mystic Force sort of are. I did love the shields the MF figures had. Didn't know they were toy exclusive until I saw Magiranger.

This is supposedly how they're releasing Poisandra. I'd love to see them release more new figures this way as opposed to re-releases. Space/Psycho Ranger packs would amazing, and cheap to produce. The male Space Rangers would only need new a new head and weapon, and the girls would also need a new belt. The Psychos could all use the same body and only need unique weapons. MAKE IT SO BANDAI!

1B, 486x500px

5" Loogie?!

>>6153677
This could have been a great line, but most of them are gonna peg warm since they're just re-releases of shit people already have. Poisandra will obviously sell, as will the Loogie if that's legit (though I have my doubts since it's a photo of the 4 inch figure). I guess Green/Red will sell through virtue of being MMPR (and the Sword of Darkness accessory will encourage people who own them to double dip).

Jayden and a villain not even from his series is cheap/lazy as hell. Would've been a great opportunity to give us the Lauren figure they denied us in the Super Megaforce line (the US never got her in the Samurai line either). Of course an actual Samurai villain would have made this a must buy as well.

If the Loogie is legit I'll give that pack a pass (I think someone might've screwed up, and was supposed to use a picture of the SUPER Megaforce footsoldier), though one of the unmade Megaforce Rangers would've been nicer than a Robo Knight re-release.

A line of 2 packs with an unmade Ranger and Villain in this scale would've sold like hotcakes. Better assortment would have been...

>Shield-less MMPR Green (kitbashed) and Rita
>Megaforce Blue (new head) and Vrak
>Super Megaforce Silver, Gold Mode (new head and torso) and Mavro
>Female Samurai Red (new head/belt/gloves/boots) and Xandred
>Dino Armor X Red (kitbashed) and Poisandra

Is the Legacy line worth giving a shot? I've always wanted a decent Green Ranger without having to pay too much, just a bit of a childhood desire.

>>6157567
>>6137878
Yes they're a great if you can't get the figuarts rangers, well worth the price with how posable they are

>>6137878
Is it even possible to find green and red now? I only see the new wave, after months of just the ninja storm rangers.

>>6157621
Pretty tough; I once saw both MMPR Red & Green in the wild, but could only afford one at the time, so I bought Green (6th Rangers are usually rarer...). But after that day, I didn't see another Red again anywhere at all.

Just to get MMPR Red, I decided to order a case of wave 1 via my comic shop; just paying what Diamond charges them cuz I'm a long-time regular, but it's still $100+. And the shop owner just told me Diamond is sold out of the case now, too. The case of 5 is still in preorders at BBTS, so...good luck?

>>6157596
Cool, hopefully I'll be grabbing one the next time I'm out
>>6157728
Green has been pretty common around me, and is often in at least one store that I stop at, while I think I only saw Red once, weird that Jason's (apparently) the rarest of the bunch, would have expected that to be Tommy.
There a White Ranger yet?

>>6140141
This guy knows what's up.
I got most of the Kyoryuger zord set because even though the gimmicks are ridiculous, the designs are fun.

>>6158015
>Jason's (apparently) the rarest of the bunch, would have expected that to be Tommy.
Tommy is two per case, Jason and the others are only one. Kim was the two per case figure of her wave, and she's apparently pegwarming as a result. Should have put Kim in wave 1, and made Jason two per case in wave 2.

>>6158015
>There a White Ranger yet?
Next wave. He'll most certainly be the two per case figure there.

>Is the Legacy line worth giving a shot?
Depends what you're looking for. I'm personally not a fan of them. I think they're too big, and the sculpts are really poor for an adult collector's line. Bandai America's sculpts were far superior in their 2008 Jungle Fury/Super Legends line, so there's no excuse for this more expensive, adult geared line to look the way they do. As pictured you can see the Super Legends Green Ranger looks pretty damn respectable next to the figuarts.

>>6158330
I have that Green Ranger. It really is a good figure. I liked that Jungle Fury line. Best Ranger line until the Figuarts.

>>6158281
>Next wave.
Fucking sick
>>6158330
Those are both pretty neat, but as long as the Legacy one fills the void of having a Green Ranger, I think it'll be acceptable.
Also, side note, but some of my older Power Rangers figures had those screw things in the legs and it ended up breaking fairly easily in the later years, age and play both surely being factors.

>>6158330
That as a cool little line; it took me forever to finally replace my White Ranger with the Figuarts. even then, I like proportions of the SL alot, and it made me hesitant to jump on the Figuarts. The SHF are great, but their slim proportions border on inhuman.

>>6158497
It's a shame that Bandai America's figures have only regressed since then. The Super Legends sculpts were really high quality, good enough to display alongside $40 figuarts and not stick out like a sore thumb. Even if the Legacy line were the same size they'd look like shit next figuarts.

>>6158330
>Super Legends Green Ranger looks pretty damn respectable next to the figuarts.
It would if you had no knowledge of the Figuarts existing.

>>6158015
Yeah, saw MMPR Green for awhile when looking for MMPR Red, but he finally dried up once Wave 2 starting appearing. Same will happen to MMPR Pink once Wave 3 hits.

>>6158330

It was a great figure for the time. But it's obsolete.

You can let go, it's okay. Release the nostalgia before you say anything else so ridiculous.

2018 if the legacy line can stay afloat (it's already riddled with problems and pegwarming), and if Bandai decides to complete the existing teams (Ninja Storm, In Space, and Dino Thunder will all be incomplete at the end of this year). I wouldn't hold my breath.

I'm very surprised they didn't make him as one of the 6ths in the Super Megaforce 5 inch line given In Space's popularity, and considering he would have only required a new head and weapon. He'd have certainly been a more popular choice than the ball of light. Bandai should do a heroes versus villains pack with Silver Ranger and Darkonda.

>>6162471
He said decent not shitty.

>>6159051
Which line is that Green from. I've held off on buying the Figuarts because of a lack of a Green but that actually looks pretty solid.

Depending on the definition of "shitty", there really isn't a big poo of options for Silver Ranger. He's only got the 1998 figures they released of him, and all of them have issues whether its shitty floppy plastic, restricted articulation, chrome, or bad sculpts.

The 8 inch is probably the best one fromt he bunch but he's pretty awkward to pose.

>>6162471
>Silver Ranger and Darkonda.

I'd love for them to go back and do villains they missed way back when but I just don;t se eit happening. I think getting the MOTW is surprising enough from BOA.

They have a line to do so now, as seen here >>6153348 >>6153677
They just need to stop being cheap/lazy and use it to release new figures. Maybe once Poisandra and the Loogie sell while the others pegwarm they'll realize there's money to be made if they actually make an effort. I mean if random MOTDs from Dino Charge are selling then surely major characters from the past will fly off shelves.

I'll say it again, Space/Psycho packs would be a great place to start. In Space is a beloved season, and people have been wishing for Psychos for going on two decades now. Lots of part reuse would make them very cost effective for Bandai as well.

>>6143007
Funny thing is both In Space and Time Force rated high in the Bluefin poll, but then nothing happened.

>>6163570
fuck, I used to have that Silver Ranger as a kid

that, and the Red Turbo Ranger with his Camaro

Who would be the villains that everyone wants that people think BoA could do decently (for example human Scorpina would be something BoA would probably fuck up badly)? I'm curious.

Psycho Rangers would be the most wanted for me followed by the armored up Fearcats

Judging from their new Rita I'd say they could do a human Scorpina fine, and she'd be my grail alongside the 5 inch Rita they denied us in 94. It brings my piss to a boil that the Rita they finally made was that terrible 4 inch figure, and now we get a 5 inch Rita from the new movie. Just give me pic related already!

Bandai can do any villain decently. Their villain sculpts are generally the best work they do, barring that terrible 2010 Rita. But their unreleased 94 Rita, Divatox, Princess Shayla, and 2017 movie Rita prove they can do human females just fine when they try. But seeing as Bandai will never make her, I think I'll try converting the new movie Rita into a Scorpina.

>>6161722
Rumor has it it's one of the secret figures not shown at the last reveal for 2017. They'll have finished all the space rangers and started zeo with the gold also

Dude yes. There are no good figures of him. And pretty much all the ones that exist on ebay are missing the cape. I'm praying they make a legacy figure of him. He is my favorite ranger/ extra ranger and it kills me that there isn't a decent figure of him.

>>6166300
Guess the 5inch Legacy figures sold so badly, BoA had to recall them under retailer pressure & is now repacking them into these 2-packs. Dunno if these are gonna sell any better, though.

I truly hope the movie & toys do well with kids. Cause it means there's a higher chance BoA will continue the 6inch Legacy figure line.

>>6166397
What's wrong with the original figure?

>>6166816
On the contrary they sold well enough to get a wide re-release a year or so later (they were originally a Toys R Us exclusive). They're repackaging them because they hope the movie will bring in new consumers who might find this sort of thing appealing.

>>6166959
My Tor Shuttlezord is also missing it's horn. I feel your pain

>>6166816

Most companies don't re-pack figures, it's not worth the cost of shipping them back and paying people to remove them from the package and sort all the pieces.

Old stock gets sold to closeout stores in most cases.

The old magna defender figures are all around 5 inch scale and have really bad articulation. A lot are missing capes. And currently the best one to get is a rare Japanese figure that goes for over 100 bucks(which kinda sucks figure wise) I'm just saying that it be awesome if they made a legacy version of him. Like 6 inch scale and with modern day articulation.

was at Target the other day and took a look at the Imaginext PR stuff, and man if that had been around when I was a kid I would have been obsessed with them

>>6167407
I figured they stopped being TRU exclusives because they WEREN'T selling well enough there.

>>6167530
Ah yeah, doing all that instead of just manufacturing new figs does sound more expensive.

>tfw imaginext offers the most complete collection of the main MMPR villains
You'd think with the way Bandai loves felating MMPR that they'd have done more than just Zedd and Ivan Ooze in recent years. Especially considering how many Dino Charge monsters they made. Surely any of Rita and Zedd's crew would sell more than a one off monster from the current season.

>>6168214
Only if they went to close out stores like Ross (which they never did). Amazon, Walmart, etc. isn't gonna want cases of stock that isn't selling.

>>6168223
I'm really loving what Imaginext is bringing to the table. It's really kind of terrible that I'm buying a preschooler age toy line, but I'll be damned if they aren't fucking cool. The RC Dragonzord is crazy.
Also if you can find one in stores the Megazord playset/figure is only $20 at TRU

I bought Zedd/Goldar on a whim. Squatt and Babboo are garbage tier flunkies and while Finster had his moments, would rather buy a two pack of him and Scorpina than him and Rita.

That said, any fucking reason they haven't started putting out civilian versions of the OG S1-3 Rangers?

Civilian versions of Jason, Zach, Billy, Trini, Kimberly, Tommy, Adam, Aisha, and Rocky (plus helmetless versions of them and the White Ranger) would be a nice way to get around having to rebuy the Ranger figures to get MMPR monsters in terms of using them for two pack fodder.

File: $_1.jpg (39KB, 300x400px) Image search: [Google]

39KB, 300x400px

>>6176954
I've been wishing for civilian figures since the 90's. Closest we ever came were the 2 inch non-poseable figures which even included Bulk and Skull. Given all the MMPR circle jerking in recent years it's odd that they wouldn't make civilian, or at least helmetless versions.

I especially don't understand why they don't make them for the current seasons now that the show is stretched out over two years. Even as a kid helmetless/umorphed Rangers would be a lot more appealing to me than some useless cockpit armor.

>>6178498
Most likely reason is that they don't want to spend money on the likeness rights or deal with having to pay their actors MORE to use their likeness in merchandise.

Remember, they fired half the original cast in season two over money issue and between Trini's actor being dead (meaning having to deal with her family/estate), Billy's actor having a huge fucking grudge against Saban, and the actors who played Kimberly and Zach now being part of SAG, releasing unmasked versions of the original cast is probably too much of a rights nightmare to deal with.

I'm pretty sure they all sign their likeness rights away from the get go. I can't see a business savvy guy like Saban not doing the same thing for his 20 minute toy commercial as George Lucas did with the original Star Wars.

Before Saban reacquired the property and fast tracked Samurai into production Bandai was set to use the original actors likenesses on Samurai bodies.

I think a big issue honestly is that Japan should have listed to Bluefin when they suggested doing more seasons popular with Americans like Megaranger/In Space, and Timeranger/Time Force. Instead they attempted to start up Dairanger, Jetman, and did Boukenger. All of which are more niche to Sentai fans than loved by both.

Not sure how Dekaranger and Hurricanger's did but they at least are a good crossover of Japan, Sentai, and Ranger fans.

I am more surprised the SRC line did so poorly though. I can't even begin to understand how those things did poorly. Especially since they almost exclusively did all around fan favorites.

Got the full set of 2017 Movie Legacy Rangers.

I was as big a hater as they come regarding this movie, until I saw the trailer. I think it looks cool and I started getting hype.

Yesterday I found out these figures dropped and I scrambled around and found a set.

I really wanted to like these figures but there is absolutely no love put in here. The sculpt is decent and that's as much as I can say. No weapons and cheap plastic sucks. So does the lack of paint but that's not what kills it.

What really breaks my balls here is the lack of a bicep swivel. They're pretty decently articulated and then the abscence of a bicep just comes in and fucks everything up. These guys are a buzzkill

I think they know it's doomed by the choice of Dino Thunder to be next. They can't front-load the line with all the most popular teams if they expect it to last long enough to make everybody.

>>6190801
Zeo Zord I/II are too long and the thighs are too short. Also the Rangers aren't without their problems. The gold part around their necks is too thick and the glove cuffs on the core males are comically oversized.

>New Then/Now Packs – Among the new reveals will be packs coming soon for Rita Repulsa, Alpha 5, and the Putty Patrol.
We've never gotten a standard 5 inch Putty, so this is pretty sweet news. Also a classic 5 inch Alpha will likely be more accurate/articulated than the one that came with the original Command Center playset.

I wonder if we could also be seeing a Then/Now Goldar? The original 5 inch figure holds up pretty well, but a more accurate/articulated version would be really nice.

Has a toy company ever shit the bed as spectacularly as Bandai has with this legacy line?

In the trash.

Should've bought the sentai teams while they were coming out instead of waiting for sales and used listings.

Ranger fans have no one to blame but themselves for killing off their best chance at high quality figures.

It really sucks that Bandai Japan was so unwilling to attempt a popular US team beyond MMPR. Hell they didn't even attempt to milk MMPR with other characters. One would think a figuarts Goldar or Zedd would be a shoe in. Those horribly proportioned oversized Legacy figures are such a huge step backwards after the figuarts near perfection.

It's hard to grasp who the Legacy figures are for, really.

>People who just collect Power Rangers already have dozens of 5" figures and would rather finish the teams they already started in that scale
>People who like MMPR enough to want high-quality figures of them already bought (or are at least aware of and can recognize how inferior Legacy is to) Figuarts
>People who collect a little bit of everything aren't going to want figures that are oversized in relation to all their other figures
>Normies are content with Pop!/The Loyal Subjects-tier figures

Additionally, only the first two groups give a shit about anything past MMPR, hence the piles of unwanted PRNS/PRiS figures. The only figures that sell are MMPR (except the heavy-packed Pink), and they're out of those after the next wave.

I feel confident in saying 5 inch versions of Ninja Storm/Space figures wouldn't be peg warming right now. The lower cost plus being compatible with the previous/current line would have made them a lot more appealing to the fanbase. There's a big difference between shelling out $60 for a team and $120, and running two different lines within the same property at two different scales is negatively impacting your crossover appeal.

When you've got people over 50 Rangers deep in just a few years and you expect them to start from scratch in a new scale at double the cost, while continuing to buy 5 inch figures from the current series, that's never gonna bode well. Shit like the belt fuck-up and weapon debacle is just the icing on the cake because the line was inherently flawed from the start.
