anywhere I can get morphers for a decent price?

PSA to check GameStop for legacy figs because they legitimately have them

>>6264101
Fuck, i want that Lost Galaxy morpher so bad

>>6264124
I have been checking my local gamestops to no avail.

>>6264101
>decent price

KEK that's impossible, but do check craigslist. I got the chronomorpher for $5 or $10. I can't remember.

Saw a few of the MMPR figures at Toys R Us. Did some snooping around and I guess I ended up missing some of them. Should I just wait until they release the Metallic versions of them later in the year? Is the White Ranger already metallic?

>>6264443

No, current Legacy white is just white. And honestly, unless you're looking for red or green, some stores may still have some legacy figs. I've seen all but the two I just mentioned in the wild lately

>>6264451
I've seen the entire set of MMPR except for the new wave in the wild. I snagged Green when I had the chance. I also got the SDCC red when I was at the cinema since the bandai guy just offered one to me at the booth. So I already have the metallic red with his sword. I actually like the metallic look for these guys.

>>6264481
At the con*

Damn autocorrect

>>6264481

>tfw don't know whether or not to splurge on a green or wait and see if he gets a metallic release himself

>>6263819
Man, the weapons for the Then rangers look really good. Anyone know if they fit/look well with the Legacy figs (and if they combine)? I'd buy a lot of those just for the weapons.

>>6264509
They do combine. Some fit better than others with the Legacy figures.

>>6264561
The thing single thing that stopped me from buying this set (other than the fact that I have the figuarts) is how off-model Red Rangers helmet is. All the others are perfect why does Jason's head look so retarded??

>>6264586
Still looks bad. I had exactly the same issue with this figure too. Something is very off about that helmet. The tiny mouth I think

>>6264586
Ooooh...I remember seeing these when Megaforce first started airing. Skipped all of em cuz I thought they were too tall & too muscled. But, despite that, I did find that they were "getting better" in regards to Marvel Legends & DCUCs.

>>6264586

I have this guy and love him. Muscle rangers reminds me of my childhood and that's the reason I still give a damn about PR so it's a fitting mix in my opinion.

>>6264561

Hot damn that's awesome. I didnt realize the 5 inch weapons were so big.

>>6264586
Those sold for $19.99 not too long ago...now $19.99 gets you crap with no accessories.

For those of you with the SHF Dragon Ranger/MMPR Green Ranger, does the Dragon Shield get in the way of the arm articulation at all?

No the size is pretty much perfect, but as >>6264588 said the mouth plate is noticeably smaller. I dont know why it's so hard to get Red Ranger's helmet right. Even the figuarts is off.

That right one looks more like the movie helmet than the tv helmet. Though seeing the comparison makes me want to get the Figuart back out on display.

>>6265125
Yeah it totally is the movie helmet. I thought that immediately when I got my SDCC one. And that was before they even hit shelves. Fortunate the rest of them have good helmets. White especially. I gotta go hit up GS and see if they have any.

Its awesome, but I'm so Daizyujin'd out at this point. After the Chogokin Im basically done. I might be interested in a higher quality version of the minipla, but that isn't happening. Too bad there isn't a big 3P following for Sentai, it'd be great to se these kits scaled up and refined.

>>6265162
I have one that I have no real interest in ever building since I have the Chogokin on order. If they announce a Caesar Chogokin then I'll definitely never have interest in ever building it.

Man at this point you can get:

The Legacy
The SRC
The actual Chogokin
The Minipla
The Legacy Build A Figure
The giant X-PLus
The upcoming Tamashii Buddy
The Imaginext if you're hardcore
The old Legacy figure with like extreme Revoltech proportions

And I'm pretty sure I'm missing like 2-3 more little hipster SD-style Megazords.

>>6265399
what's the cheapest option?

Why isn't there a Silver In Space Ranger figure in the Legacy line?

Why is the Power Rangers general separate from the toku general?

File: IMG_6388.jpg (2MB, 3817x2877px) Image search: [Google]

2MB, 3817x2877px

>>6265527
Because the toku general only cares about riders

Apologies if I'm asking a dumb question, but I don't normally browse PR threads. Has anyone ever made a modestly sized/priced combiner-style original Megazord? Like 7 or 8 inches tall in robot mode is what I'm thinking, the same size as the diecast Voltron that Playmates is releasing later this year.

Like maybe one of these ( >>6265399) is what I'm looking for?

Can you wear the Legacy Red Ranger Helmet with Glasses on?

I'm planning on using it a the base for a cosplay and need to know?
Also when they say "Legacy Movie Red Ranger Helmet" do they meaning the 96 movie or the 2017 movie?

Do you need the combining gimmick?

If no, go for the Super Robot Chogokin figure.

If yes, then that's the Super Minipla Daizyujin. (Pic) Do note that even though it's a cheaply-made model kit, the distribution of it is terrible and you may end up paying quite a lot for it.

>>6265399
Plus possibly Bandai Americas Jumbo version, and Jakks big figure

>>6265717
Thanks, anon! I have another question. Well two, really.

1) Is this some sort of greyscale variant, or are these just prototype pictures?
2) When it says 5-pack, does it mean you're given a random assortment of five, or do you get one of each?

I'm pretty bitter about this not being widely available. and even more bitter that after being prepared to pre-order Dragonzord as soon as it went up I missed out because I was away from the internet for 12 hours (8 of which I was asleep).

Quick question,
Has there ever been figures of the Space Rangers in or around 4" scale?

hey /prg/, what's my best bet for pricing old megazords? I have most of the main mecha from MMPR all the way to dino thunder (I'm missing the thunder megazord for main mecah but that's it).

do i go to ebay to price them or is there a better option? i'll be posting everything in the BST once i've finished the list

>>6266140
Filter for only sold listings on eBay. That's your best idea on what everyone else has actually been paying

Any clue how long the Legacy Power Sword will be?
I can't decide if it will be a foot and a half tops to fit a kid, or if it will be full sized to fit an adult because Legacy.

This guy's head is not nearly as misshapen as it looks in pics. I'm actually very happy with him.

Why is the 5in 95 Movie Legacy Black Ranger so fucking expensive. Does he turn shit to gold upon contact?

>>6266927

Anything legacy that you don't buy on release is that expensive anon

>>6266933
I've been seeing Yellow and Blue in stores for over a year now and the other rangers don't seem to go past $40 tops. What's specific to the Black Ranger that makes him the most expensive? Crazy shit.

>>6266844
Green is very worth it, I picked him up just the other day and I've had a lot of fun with him, and he's got a good chunk of stuff for the price point (Sword of Darkness, Dragon flute, alt hands).

White is a little harder to justify, as he only comes with Saba (and the holster, but that's expected at this point), wish he had alternate hands or something else, maybe a morpher, no idea what but something else would have made the 20ish I paid feel a bit better.

>>6266946

Wtf, you're not kidding. I've seen the others go for 30-40 and assumed the same of him. I have no clue then.

I wasn't really into Power rangers as a kid, but recently I got interested and picked up a Green Ranger in a thrift shop for cheap. Started to look for more of the same type and found that it is from the Super Mega Force toyline (pic related). Went to look for them on ebay and was really shocked to see the prices. How come these little 5" figures are so expensive? WTF? Are they rare or something?

>>6267096

On that topic, why ARE legacy figures so expensive? I've seen every last one of them in th Wild at one store or another within the last week. Then again I don't live in a collector heavy area so I guess I just answered my own question

>How come these little 5" figures are so expensive?
They've been out of print for over two years, and it's currently the only way to own every Red Ranger in the same scale. Though numerous figures have been re-released and can currently be bought at retail. Since this has been asked before I put together a visual aid. These are all the re-releases currently on the market. The two packs are exclusive to Walmart in the US.

>>6267406

To add to this, the Then and Now packs with classic and movie rangers are at Walmart by the bucket fulls. The red ranger pack near the bottom is about $50 on eBay and Amazon if you find it in stock.

Good luck on the MMPR Red and Green pack though because your walmarts are likely still suffocating with Ninja Steel crap

>>6267318
2010 heads on Jim Lee Cyclops buck? Exactly the look i am going for!

Spierman buck? Which spiderman buck?

>>6265092
I had that in 1993 and it was fucking awesome. One of my favorite figures due to the articulation. Wish i still had it to give to my kid.

I have them already so it won't be difficult. I had already test-fit the red ranger's head on the Cyclops buck. I like my Rangers roided!

The Mcdnoalds heads are nice, has anyone tried the Lightspeed Mcheads out on Marvel parts? I know the Batman Beyond BK head is a perfect fit for the Reed Richards buck.

My Batman is a similar build. Bullseye body, Dr. Strange legs, Multiverse Batman forearms, cape, cowl, and heads.

Only had to paint the chest detailing off of Bullseye to make it a reality. I coulda just stripped it but meh. My Vallejo Game Color has wonderful pigmentation.

>>6267978
If you use the "Scarlet Spider - Ben Reilly" buck and add forearms from Red She-Hulk and lower legs from "Scarlet spider - Kaine" you'd have the tall and lanky of the old buck with 90% of the articulation of the Cyclops buck.

The case with black and pink didn't see as much distribution as blue and yellow (and red), they got to be quite rare while the others peg warmed for a long time (and you can still find at TRU, Walmart clearanced the hell out of them).

She should be out, but they're making a then and now pack for her including her and the original Rita is going to be a new sculpt. Might as well wait for that one.

Why does the figuarts Koda have to be double packed and so fucking expensive on ebay, fuck. :/

Anyone kbow a good way to get just Koda at a good price?

Finally found a Legacy Ninja Storm Red. Fits in well with the other Rangers I got, but damn are his weapons warped.

Also, I had forgotten how shit the plastic quality was for the first run.

Kinda what I miss on my Wind Ranger figuarts. That and a less giraffy neck for Yellow and these would be perfect.

Being a fan of any villains outside of the current series is suffering.

the movie figures are shelf-warming really badly where I am. Which ones are actually sought after in the US?

>>6268876

I unfortunately don't know where my accessories got to but those gliders were awesome. I'm sure the figures were like $10 too. How times have changed.

>>6268945

If you're talking 6.5 inch scale, pretty much all the dude rangers. Females too but I've actually seen them in the wild.

What's the best way to keep track of when new stuff releases and where is the best place to buy or order stuff on day 1?

>>6268548
>No dragon coin or white tiger coin
And I'm sure they're nearly impossible to find for reasonable prices on their own.
Though, speaking of price, those coins are only like, 20 dollars, right? Pretty affordable, if so.

>interactive movie megazord can't use the wings as swords
Guess I'm fine sticking with the 10 feet tall combining megazord's bullshit madeup T-rex tail sword and Ptera body sword. I actually like the look of the new megazord, but they really fucked up making a giant robot that doesn't fucking work as a regular toy

And does anyone know if I can buy Paonmaru, UFOmaru, and Dinomaru for use with my Ninja Steel DX Megazord, or do I just have to buy the Ninninger robot instead of constantly shelling out $35 for recolored megazords just for new auxiliary zords? And is there some sort of blue ranger figure that comes with the shuriken hat for the megazord's dragon mode, or did BoA fuck that up worse than they did Byunmaru's waist part and the dump truck's missing lid thing?

Is there any point at all in buying non-Legacy megazords if I don't care about ZordBuilder and only want true-to-show combinations?

Am I the only one who leaves even the most worthless figures in their box? I have incomplete Legacy sets I haven't opened (mostly because of the lack of whole teams) and even fucking Funko Pops of the movie characters I just keep boxed up. But my megazords, which would theoretically be worth more money than ranger figures, I just take out and occasionally transform every so often

>>6269083
If these and the Ninja Coins sell they'll do a Tommy set I'm sure. Falcon isn't included with the other Ninja Coins.

>>6269101
>does anyone know if I can buy Paonmaru, UFOmaru, and Dinomaru for use with my Ninja Steel DX Megazord
They'll fit in the body, but the heads won't connect. Best you can do is rest them on top.

>is there some sort of blue ranger figure that comes with the shuriken hat for the megazord's dragon mode
No, there's no American alternative for that head currently.

>Is there any point at all in buying non-Legacy megazords if I don't care about ZordBuilder and only want true-to-show combinations?
They're usually cheaper, but with the retarded way they're handling auxilaries I'd say no. If it weren't for Zordbuilder I wouldn't buy them.

>>6269197
Is there any reason why they're doing that with auxilaries? Dino Charge wasn't like this. Do they think people will take advantage of ZordBuilder to have UFOmaru's shinobi form in the cockpit of a green Paon dump truck, the original pink right leg and a purple Surfer left one? Do they think parents will buy their dumbass kids 5 different colored but otherwise similar looking megazord toys? Can't wait for them to somehow fuck up KyurenOh too

The falcon coin came with the white movie Morpher and was the only movie Morpher to include a ninja coin.

That's why it's not included with the ninja coin set.

>>6268677

No one huh

>>6269256
Just because it was released before doesn't mean it couldn't have been included. Dino set is all re-releases, yet leaves out Dragon and Tiger. They're clearly holding them back for a Tommy coin set, and they will charge the same as the 5 coin set for it.

>>6269203
>Is there any reason why they're doing that with auxilaries? Dino Charge wasn't like this.
Bandai claimed that parents weren't happy about all the standalone auxiliary Zords in the Dinocharge line for some reason

I stopped collecting right around the time they announced the RPM toyline, when we had gotten the first "legacy" Rangers in a long time - Titanium Ranger, Zedd etc.
I know there's been 4' versions of the MMPR (complete with Rita) that looked like shit before doing 5' again. How many MMPR Red Rangers did they fucking do afterwards? I think they did a Red Ranger anniversary around Megaforce, but other other colored Rangers such as Zeo have been left out? I think they also look like shit?

They re-did new morphers, as far as I know. They're better. Did they do the movie versions, too? Any other new Ritas or Zedds? I feel tired seeing the same fucking Zedd every time when the only good one seems to be the first 5' one (back around Jungle Fury). Didn't they re-do Megazords as well? Or just MMPR again?
Lastly, are the 93 morphers even worth anything anymore now that we got the new ones?

Super Legends was a good color. I believe the 2010 Greens were as well. Not sure why Bandai started using the shades they are now. They take a step forward, then two steps back.

The more I buy from the Legacy line the more I hope it doesn't fail. $20 for a 6.5in Ranger is really fantastic. They may not be perfect sculpts or have extreme articulation, but the sculpts and articulation are fine for the fairly low cost and large size. The movie ones from Toys R Us are fantastic especially! Lack of the bicep swivel sucks, but the sculpts are amazing and they look fantastic together.

>>6270107
I'm fine with the articulation, but there's no excuse for the terrible sculpts. Natrual sculpts wouldn't have cost more to make, but Bandai went with the tired roided men and giant tits/tiny waist women because they're completely out of touch with the fanbase. The BAF in place of weapons also shows how out of touch they are. Given all those girls warming pegs, the BAF is clearly not something most people care for. And while you may see the size as a positive, it's probably the biggest negative for me because they don't fit with ANYTHING. I'd have been much happier paying $20 for better articulated 5 inch figures with a full array of weapons than this ill-conceived line.

>>6270150
No one wants 5 inch figures but children and manbabies. 6" is where it's at
Bandai fucked this line in a lot of ways but the Baf is not one of them.
They fucked the line by cheating out on the figures. Missing paint, articulation, etc. They should have just charged $30 and done them right.

BAF is already a gimmick for extra sales and they went too far with it by spreading teams out over multiple waves which was totally unnecessary

>>6270150
>because they're completely out of touch with the fanbase.
I thought the classic muscle-build was the one more popular with the American fanbase, making you the one who's out of touch.

>>6270107

I just got legacy green, white, and red MMPR and I love them. I have red a power sword from the armored mega force red ranger release and he's now unironically my favorite figure currently. Posability is what I want out of it, and the sculpts are good enough. Accurate sculpts would've been cool, but I grew up with muscle rangers so seeing more of them doesn't bother me.

However, I do agree that BAF was dumb. They should've made the things huge, that would've made things better at least. Still would've just preferred weapons.

File: IMG_6472.jpg (1MB, 2722x2957px) Image search: [Google]

1MB, 2722x2957px

The only reason the BAF was a mistake is because they're not functional zords. How cool it would be if each BAF part was a proper zord like the super minipla!!

>>6269567
good fucking lord, this means they could actually have produced this with slightly nicer quality and detailed paintjob and sold it as a shf size figure that could actually split off into smaller figures? I would have paid plenty for that.

>>6268540
what are your last words? sunday is coming soon

>>6268350
the only time the white ranger suit actually looks like it's from the same series as the other 5. I love this moderately armored look they had. Managed to look armored and sturdy without resorting to tacticool look.

>>6269270
Picked up a morhper today, and I can totally see them doing that with Tommy's coins. Maybe a little cheaper than the normal set since at most there's gonna be maybe 3 coins, but I'm sure they'll squeeze it for all they can.
>>6270235
That'd be pretty neat, honestly, and it's not like much would change compared to how lacking in detail the pieces are now, they'd just get minimal articulation depending on the amount of limbs. Though I'm sure it'd be an excuse to raise the price by 5-10 more dollars.

>>6270167
>No one wants 5 inch figures but children and manbabies. 6" is where it's at
Um... hate to break it to you but if you're buying toys as an adult you're a manbaby regardless. And when you have 20 years of 5 inch figures, and dozens of characters who will never be revisited, starting from scratch in a new scale is retarded. I would be more forgiving if these were 6" as they would at least fit with other lines, but at 6.5 they fit with nothing.

>the Baf is not one of them.
The biggest complaint I've seen by far is the lack of weapons, which is a direct result of the BAF. The fact that girls are not selling proves that the BAF was a mistake. People would be buying the girls to complete the BAF if they gave a shit about it. Most teams have a combining weapon, that should've been enough for a "collect them all" incentive. Just because other lines do BAFs doesn't mean it was a good idea for PR. Rangers need weapons, and even without a BAF we rarely get a complete array of weapons, so we really needed the full accessory budget to go to weapons.

>They should have just charged $30 and done them right.
Never would've happened. I'd argue even $20 is too much given how badly the girls pegwarm.

>>6270194
No one ever asked for roid Rangers. The muscles have been a common complaint forever.

Praying we get some high quality figures of the movie designs from some outside company. The suits are just gorgeous and the Bandai figures are good, but don't perfectly capture their look in the movie.

After sellers kept scamming buyers, ebay finally settled on agreeing with buyers. I don't know how to counter it, but maybe take photos of the item beforehand? Buyers can claim anything otherwise.

>>6270808

I doubt it will get the tv series which was supposed to be a dark animated retelling of the first three seasons if I recall.

It will get a sequel with Tommy in it but unless it does really well I can see it puttering out like the latest TMNT movie franchise.

The whole ordeal was insightful. At one point in the process it was explained to me by a manager in the claims department that eBay Is no longer liable for the state of a returned item.

In other words, you can cry foul on an item, get your money back, and return it to the buyer in any condition. If the item is valued at over $50 and the buyeras seller are giving them different stories eBay will no longer do anything about it.

Disagree.

If they brought back the new movie designs as figuarts, it would kill the Sentai line somehow even more.

>>6271017
I think he means its more accurate to the show design.

So what's my cheapest bet for getting the Soul of Chogokin Megazord? I usually order from BBTS but they tend to be a bit pricier on average.

>>6271017
We'll, I have the SRC, so I'm not biased. I think it's totally a matter of preference. Don't get me wrong I like the SRC's proportions too, but the next to the mini pla it starts looking a lot more like the retrofire. Speaking solely on the proportions the minipla is a near carbon copy of the OG toy. But now it's fully posibale.

This coupled with the scale, articulation, and the fact that it's fully combinable makes it something I can't pass up

>>6271076
Agreed on all counts. I just ordered mine and I'm already trying to figure out how I'm going to track down the Dragonzord.

That's not a good thing in my book. I hate the proportions of the OG toy. SRC is much closer to the show suit. It takes liberties, but is nowhere near retrofire tier. I think you forget just how awful the retrofires were. Don't get me wrong, I still like the mini-pla, though I'm mostly interested in it for the individual Zords in that scale and compatibility with the Dragonzord. I can't ever see myself displaying it over the SRC.

>>6271150

You don't really see Jason use the power sword either but he returns it to the command center at the end of the movie. They are just toys to sell for the most part. No need but to show a glance in the movie and move on, that leaves more time to mention Krispy Kreme since that is really vital to the movie.

>>6271179
I feel there was a small subplot about the sword that was cut. Like, Zordon telling Jason to keep it was meant to have a little more weight to it. Maybe.

>SRC is much closer to the show suit
Wait, what? I know it's been a while since MMPR, so maybe you've forgotten that in-show Daizyujin has fucking comical proportions. It's stubby and fat with short limbs and a huge head. Neither toy really looks like it in my opinion, but the Minipla arguably comes closer simply by having more thiccness all around. The SRC has very "heroic" proportions (compact chest, skinny waist, thin thighs and biceps with thick forearms and calves) that are absolutely nothing like the in-show suit.

And yeah, the Retrofire isn't even worth talking about.

>>6271196
SRC looks much closer to me. Minipla's upper body is way too wide and head is too small. When I look at the SRC I see an idealized version of the suit. When I look at the minipla I see the old toy.

>>6271267
I'm just saying though, that SRC is...QUITE idealized. To the point where it doesn't resemble the original show suit proportionally even a little bit.

For the record, I do like the SRC best, I think it's very aesthetically appealing. But again, saying it's anything like the show suit is wildly inaccurate.

The SRC actually looks a lot more like the show suit than I thought..but I still like the minipla proportions better.

If only the SRC split into individual zords, or the minipla had a paint job and some more to it

I knew the movie 6.5" Rangers were going to be hard to find. They only made 1500 cases. I'm glad I bought 10 while they were on sale

>>6271817
That and time force, plz Bandai I need time force

>>6271946

Where does Bandai look for feedback? I'd love to send them teams I'd like to see in a feeble attempt to matter

Just saw the movie, was good.

Is there any word about replicas of the coins? Or just the clearance morpher that's out now?

>>6272050
We're getting Legacy Movie Coins in the winter.

>>6271946
Time force are godlike designs

I hope they do silver ranger from space and quantum my favorite rangers.

I bought these today, and fuck are they beautiful. I also bought the Saba Sword just before Christmas.

>>6272590
Saba looks cool and the electronics are nice but I hate the diecast. It's poorly distributed, resulting in him being very unbalanced, and there's just far too much of it. I imagine it'd be particularly problematic if you were to get a holster made and tried to wear it on a belt. He also doesn't feel terribly sturdy if you swing him, even lightly. I'm really tempted to take him apart and recast the diecast parts in plastic.

>>6272638
I get what you are saying, but I had no intention of using him other than for display purposes and the sword personally excels at being a nice piece to look at.

Legacy Magna defender WHEN?

>>6271179
He does use it. The scene where he returns it is actually a remnant of another plot line they cut, that Jason wasnt fit to lead until he could pull the sword from the ship, but they cut it out

>>6271150
Probably not, if the tie in comic is any say, they carry the coins and can materialise the armor at any time they want

I don't see the point of releasing Legacy In-Space rangers & not release their sixth ranger, even though both MMPR & Zeo from the same line is getting theirs!

Would've been smarter to just put that in the TOP SECRET FIGURES instead of Dino Thunder...

>"""Hero"""

I never got why the made american specific versions of Power Ranger Action Figures. With the RP shit they rebrand the SS merch except with different sound effects or English lettering which makes sense, but why spend the effort to make entirely new sculpts for the action figures when you already have the preexisting SS figures? I mean if Saban was all about cutting costs why did they put the effort for such a minor thing?

I just hope our combined autism can support the line to at least get one of those three series. I'd personally prefer Lost Galaxy. I was an MMPR kid through and through but LG murders my nostalgia for some reason.

...the line isn't really performing poorly, is it? They're sold out of damn near everywhere so I don't see how. At most I'm seeing a couple females shelf warming.

I am the only one that wants Legacy Turbo? I actually liked those suit designs.

They haven't done that in years. Same goes for Zords. It's apparently cheaper for them to make their own versions, which are generally lacking in features.

>when you already have the preexisting SS figures?
They generally don't. Japan has never been big on Ranger figures. A lot of the time all they get are vinyls with 3 POA. Some Japanese figures have been imported over the years, but they were usually pack ins with vehicles.

Bandai used to do that. The 8'' tall ranger figures that saw use from MMPR to around In Space or so was based off a Japanese mold used mostly for reds starting in the 80's. The vehicle rider figures from the 90's where also usually based off Chogokin Sentai figures.

As for why Bandai did original figures, the US marketing really emphasized the civilian identities(especially early on, where you had posters and toys and the like where the Rangers where called by the character's name..I think the first cast shake-up made them a bit more careful with that). So bandai America probably wanted figures that could mesh well with that. Japan even had a few morphing figures later on.

As for the aesthetic differences, i.e. the muscled ranger figures we saw around Turbo and ever since, you can blame that on them trying to imitate domestic superhero lines. And while there are Japanese sentai figures, most of them now are vinyl, which hasn't really done well in the US.

Zeo is the MGS2 of Power Rangers

>second installment of flagship series so expectations are high
>long haired lady man is team leader
>the real alpha leader returns and takes a secondary while important role (Jason)
>best opening theme of the series
>worst received of the first few installments (it had the lowest ratings of the 90s rangers)

>>6274825
Was Zeo really rated worse than Turbo? I thought it was the opposite situation of the Sentai originals in that regard.

>>6274733
Same. Lost galaxy was my all time favorite. I'm hoping we get them and magna defender

>>6274815
If I'm not mistaken Ohranger had the civilian head morph figures for Red, Blue, and Green.

Likely because they were such strong sellers in America. As a kid those were THE Power Rangers figures to have and both Japan and America like to test waters with what does well on the other side of the ocean from time to time.

The best answer to the question though is that America is more an action figure heavy market. They needed action figures to flesh the line out.

>>6274829
Ohranger is the most successful Sentai off all time toy-sale wise. Even with inflation factored in that show dominated toy sales. Ratings were in the shitter but toysales were at an all time high. Fiveman is the real Sentai killer in Japan, with Jetman being the savior.

>>6274885
Kakuranger got head flips first, for the entire team. They were very similar to the MMPR ones. Then Ohranger got them for everyone but Kingranger. Since then some series have gotten cheaper, candy toy versions, such as Megaranger.

>>6274897
Neat. I only knew for sure that Ohranger had them for the three boys.

It's always interesting to see how the two toylines influence one another.

Anyone else not have rich enough parents to army build bad guys when you were younger?

My putty equivalent was some cheapo ninjas from the dollar store that actually scaled perfectly with the 5.5 inch figs. I legitimately had around 12 of them.

I had two Z Putties at the time. Of course it was always a deam to have more, but at least MMPR had an army of monsters. When I got older and had my own money I started army building though.

>Lost Galaxy Legacy happens

I'm hoping for turbo aswell. Loved the suits, if everyone could come with their sabers as well it'll be dope

>>6274733
I don't know what this is from cause I don't follow SS that strongly and stopped watching Power Rangers shortly after the movie came out, but--

I just wanna say that broken helmets showing the human faces underneath is one of my favorite things in toku.

>>6275235
You're probably right....

Why hasn't Bandai announced 2017 movie rangers SHF yet

>>6275889
Because who in their right mind would want them?
Plus the Sentai line is dead, doing them would make people think Sentai is coming back.

>The new PR movie is goo
YES!

>the suit designs are good
no.

But that's just a matter of opinion. I don't hate them after seeing the movie, but they're not my favorites.

The zord designs suck ass though.

>>6275941
The only thing I still hate about the zords is the extra legs on the triceratops and mastodon. Even they have grown on me. They're sort of skeletal and I like that they have guns all over them. Reminds me of dinoriders. The only other problem w the zords is there is no quality toy of them

>>6275941
The suit and zord designs were awful to me at first. They really have grown on me though after getting the legacy figures and seeing the movie.

The aesthetic for it all just didn't feel like Power Rangers to me - but after understanding what they were going for with the movie and it's universe, I love the designs and think they are perfect for what they intend for the series.

>>6275947

I've actually had no qualms with the look of the Zords, just don't like how the movie handled them so nonchalantly. "Here are these cool things, you get them"

Then again, so did the damn show.

>>6276676
Supposedly the novelization of the movie explains the combination a bit more, I've heard. You know how Alpha mentions that the Zords assume the form of the most powerful organisms on the planet? Well apparently, they're scanning Goldar during the fight, and when they're pushed into the pit, they're less traditionally "combining" and more fusing their mass together and adapting to Goldar; mirroring his shape.

Who knows if they can even split up into Dinos anymore? Maybe that'll be the reason for a re-design. They have to scan new animals now.

>>6277177
He wasn't packed 2 per case like Tommy was, plus we've reached the end of the MMPR releases until the metallic repaints in the summer. Not surprised he's going up and up.

Got the mini-pla. Can someone tell me how SAL on Rakuten is lightning fast compared to shit like HLJ and Mandy. Gonna do a shitty review. I'll dump some pics here if anyone has requests.

>>6277714
SAL is crazy. What it actually is, is that when your package is about to get shipped it's put into the container and it sits there until the container is full. Your item could be the first thing in an empty co Rainer or the last thing before they shut the door and it hits the ocean. This can result in drastically varying arrival times

Lightspeed Rescue is the one I want the most. one of the few full teams id want.
