So no Dragonzord?
>>11711549You get Godzilla Dragonzord instead and you will like it.
>>11711540Crossover figures are 6 inches>>11711546Godzilla is 12 inches
>>11711549maybe they're going to release them with the 8" green and white like the good old days?
>>11711466The proportions was the one thing they got right with the dino megazord, hiw can they drop the bag this hard with thunder megazord.
>>11711546Seems weird for Godzilla to wear the transformed Ultra Megazord armor bits and not the regular normal Dragonzord armor bits.
She cute
How is playmates able to knock out the zords so quick? Do they have the bandai molds?
>>11711603Uh no. But I’m sure it’s taking less time copying the engine engineering from the original toys rather than coming up with a whole brand new design. That said I’m kind of worried that with them just going with the main ones for each season, we’re not going to get what I really want which is a new ShogunMegazord
>>11711540I'm irrationally angry that King Caesar is Black Ranger & Baragon is Yellow Ranger.It should really be the other way around
No Dragonzord?And wow, are they really selling the griffin and unicorn zords solo?
>>11711585I mean... It's the same thing. The only Zord Godzilla is wearing is the Dragonzord. Which "normal Dragonzord armor" are you referring to?
>>11711546I actually like this a lot
>>11711692I hope making something at that size means they're open to making the kaiju zords.
>>11711679The Kaiju Rangers are a really cool concept (obviously) that are unfortunately flawed in execution. The White Ranger is also involved in the comic, but he doesn't get any kaiju powers for some reason, and HE'S the one that should be King Caesar. Pink should be Rodan, Yellow should be Mothra... Maybe make Red Gorosaurus? Make Black Maguma? At the same time, while obviously Green/Dragonzord/Godzilla makes the most sense, not having Godzilla be the leader doesn't feel right. Also none of the suits' designs are consistent with each other at all.
>>11711701Pfft, no one cares about Maguma.
>>11711708I was thinking his arctic nature could tie in with the Mastodon's ice powers, but yeah, you're probably right. Maybe make him Baragon, then?
>>11711718Better, yes. And yellow should be Anguirus.
It'd be nice if someone could take some clear photos of the only thing I care about.
>>11711729Please don't tell me there are only two Season 2 Evil Space Alien figures.Also I feel like the "Evil Space Alien logo" should be changed from Rita's hat to the Z-Staff's Z.
>>11711737Well, he did marry her.
>>11711581The sword storage on the lion is a nice touch. The giant trachea hole missile on blue unicorn thunderzord is not.
Is Playmates retarded? How do they not have Green Ranger or now White Ranger merchandise? Clearly they were always the best sellers. The shows are more than 3 decades old, clearly not a "spoilers" issue.
>>11711804Green Ranger is getting a roleplay Dragon Dagger this spring. And Dragonzord, hopefully.
>>11711701It's not about what fits, it's about what's popularYou gotta have Rodan AND Mothra because they're among the most popular kaiju.Gorosaurus is not popular
>>11711804Green Ranger stuff has been Walmart exclusive for some incredibly stupid reason. White Ranger not being on display suggests to me that he will follow suit. The figure exists.
>>11711856Then where the fuck is Dragonzord?
>>11711737Can't be, someone here swore Playmates was going to make every villain ever and more than Hasbro and Bandai combined. They were very insistant.
>>11711603How is this impressive? It's a fraction of what Bandai was putting out in it's peak. We used to get>two main Megazords>a sixth zord>one carrier zord>one or two support mini zords>full set of rangers>multiple ranger variants>villains, both a chunk of the main cast and some MOTWs>8'' figuresOne Megazord a year is like the least they could do.
>>11711871Looks small so it will only fit kids. I'd have jumped if they made yellow and black since they didn't get Lightning Collection helmets but don't think the size will match up.
>>11711825Oh, I was hardly recommending losing either Rodan or Mothra, obviously they're must haves, plus I like the idea of the girls having the flying support mechs (like the Zeo Zords, except not useless). I feel like Gorosaurus is arguably roughly as popular as King Caesar and Baragon are. I feel like he'd be fairly easy to market, too.>If you think tyrannosaurus rex is badass, how about a KAIJU tyrannosaurus rex?!
>>11711879Gorosaurus is kinda lame. He doesn't even have any powers. He just kicks things.
No Squatt or King Sphinx on display is terrifying.
>>11711881Well yeah, that's what I said.
>>11711988>No dragonzord
>>11711540FUCK THIS SHIT
>>11712048I watched it, they don’t talk about the Tigerzord, not even a mention of the Dragonzord.
If Dragonzord is real where are the pics?
>>11712060The rep mentions there's one behind closed doors he "totally can't even mention" and jokes with Dan about White Ranger stuff that's also not being shown, and mentions role play items that are "good ideas" and they're just waiting for a retail partner to bring them, making it clear in a roundabout way they've at least developed it and are mostly keeping it under wraps, probably just in case something happened where it all couldn't release
>>11711771Sure, but she's not even in like 90% of the season. And then the Season 3 symbol can be their crossed staffs or something.
>>11711988>Bandai Rita>Bandai Scorpina>Bandai Mutaytus>Bandai Witchblade>Bandai mini-Rito Revolto, Master Vile, Lord Zedd, and Silent Knight>Bandai's other Rita>Imaginext Cyclopsis>Imaginext Serpentera>Super7 Re:Action Lord Drakkon>Super7 Re:Action ShellshockWe have valid reason to be concerned.
>>11712130I think anon is an idiot an mixed dragonzord and tigerzord. In dan's video they talk about de tigerzord but no word about the dragonzord
>>11711988Why aren't they on display? They have their first two villains from season 2 on display which don't release until end of the summer, yet the final two season 1 villains which were displayed at Toy Fair a year ago and should be releasing this spring are conspicuously absent. That's highly discouraging. It would be nice if we ever had someone asking good questions at these shows. The fact that Pixel Dan doesn't ask about Dragonzord is nuts. Especially after the Playmates rep mentions they are doing Tigerzord and it's there behind closed doors. How does one not respond to that with "What about the Dragonzord?" It's literally the most popular single Zord in the history of the franchise.
>>11711887>He just kicks things.And yet he was able to overpower King Ghidorah.
>>11711686Like wearing the helmet and shoulderpads as if Godzilla was Dragonzord. This fig is wearing the folded up armor as if Godzilla was Megazord.
>>11712045>>11712087>>11712236>Just wait for Dragonzord>We swear Dragonzord is coming in series 2>There is NO Way they will go to Thunderzords before they release Dragonzordwell, guess that makes all you fags a bunch of liars huh?
>>11712317But thats for the tigerzord right?
>>11712288Dragonzord is LITERALLY Godzilla in stupid looking armor. And look! >>11712236 They fucking made exactly that just for you!!Now shut the fuck up and fuck off already. Some of us have been waiting decades for Ninja Zords.
>>11712333sauce?
>>11712283I'm not quite sure I'm following. Which helmet and shoulder pads does the Dragonzord wear? You mean like Fighting Mode? That'd involve tearing Godzilla's arms and legs off.
Wow. They skipped possibly the most popular Zord in the show. Smooth, Playmates.
>>11711679>>11711701Yellow being Baragon is obviously in connection with Baragon's relatively recent meme status as being a cute Kaiju due to that behind the scenes footage of Baragon's suit actress doing adorable roars
>>11712341Those little gold things on the chest there, they belong on dragonzord's shoulders.Regular ass normal mode Dragonzord with nothing folded or moved around in any way at all.
>>11712498How would Godzilla wear regular, non-transformed Dragonzord? How would anything wear regular, non-transformed Dragonzord?
>>11712552I mean, there was a suit actor in the Dragonzord.
>>11712552You are massively overthinking this to a weird autistic degree. Just put the black and gold parts of Dragonzord on top of Godzilla and pretend he is a dragonzord hybrid thing and quit thinking about it.
>>11712621That doesn't make any sense. Why would Godzilla wear the skin of Dragonzord when he already combines into an armor to be worn by others in the first place? You claimed Godzilla needs to wear the armor, which he is doing in the pics provided, and now you were not satisfied with that? You want more?
>>11712624I dunno about him, but I do. I want a full Dragonzord that combines with the fucking Megazord. ONE JOB Playmates.
>>11712627Fuck off, there have been a thousand Dragonzords already. I want other series than the same old Mighty Morphin shit repeated forever.
If you can't get the Dragonzord made it doesn't bode well for making anything less popular that came after it
>>11711875They were porting over toys that were old.
>>11711581I'll probably just get Red Dragon and call it a day,
>>11712716This also means season 3 stuff for next year...?Hopefully they make a Rito figure. Battle Borgs could be sold as figures too.
>>11711980>No Squatt>No King Sphinx>No new Season 2 Evil Space Aliens
Finally some answers concerning Dragonzord
>>11712990Damn if only there was some price point retailers already signed up to stock that's bigger and pricier than the standard zords, features electronics and that no one actually likes that you could stick dragonzord in as a wave 2 of.
>>11712990Yep, dead brand. Power rangers had no such problems but it's clear no one cares in this day and age when do many older versions exist and can be bought for cheaper
>>11713069I don't get how can TMNT be so relevant yet Power Rangers flops at retail. Bandai era never had this problem
>>11713073because TMNT has one set of characters that can be remade in any format like comics cartoons movies, power rangers is a baby show meant to sell toys
>>11713069There's numerous reasons retailers wouldn't want it, and I'm gonna say the biggest one is the size. A Dragonzord to scale with Playmates' Megazord would take up a lot of shelf space, and since Toys R Us is no longer in business, shelf space comes at a premium at places like Target and Walmart who only dedicate an aisle to action figures. For all of Hasbro's faults in killing Power Rangers, it certainly didn't help that they bought it at the worst possible time, right as Toys R Us went out of business. Without Toys R Us, the expansive toylines with multiple large items we were accustomed to from Bandai just weren't possible. Then in addition to that, retailers were likely shy to pull the trigger on a toyline for a 30 year old show with no new media after Hasbro's offerings underperformed. The first year of Reignition was about building back retailer trust, and showing them that Power Rangers can sell well when priced affordably and targeted to the right demographic, which isn't 40 year old men. Last year the line was seen as too big a risk for retailers to bite on Dragonzord. This year they ARE biting on Tigerzord, so that tells me the line is doing a good job of reestablishing Power Rangers as a viable brand for young boys.
>>11712990So just like Toys r Us back in 2017, Megazord, no Dragonzord, and then thunderzords and White Tiger Zord.We keep doing this same thing over and over again.
>>11713232Also Hasbro never made a Dragonzord, Amazon Exclusive never made a Dragonzord, and now Playmates is never making a Dragonzord.
I might pick up those Super7 Bulk and Skulls
>>11713232What are you talking about? Bandai not only made Dragonzord and Titanus, they did black and gold variants.
>>11713236If Bulk/Skull didn't tower over all my other figures I would get them. They chose a retarded scale.
>>11712045why is he so fat fuck
>>11713272any pics of them next to Lightning Collection rangers? I'd expect them to dwarf Figuarts or something
Well fuck, we can forget Titanus then.I am seriously bummed.
>>11713303It was expected anyway, at that scale it was going to be too big, literaly bigger than some modern playsets.”
Some anon has been promising us Dragonzord and more ESA figures since the Playmates threads started. Will they be man enough to apologize for being wrong? I'm waiting.
>>11712990>No retail wanted to step up and take the exclusiveSo... don't... make it... one...?
>>11713303Maybe if season 3 rolls around and the line is doing well enough that some retail wants a fuckhuge exclusive we can get it.
Why can't Amazon just sell Dragonzord? They'll make an exclusive out of anything.>>11713508Guess thats our only chance.No Tor either.
>>11713508>season 3season 3 is not profitable, I wonder if Playmates will actually touch it. Do they have a only MMPR deal with hasbro or anything PRs?Is the new Netflix show for example going to have figures done by hasbro or playmates?
>>11713519Playmates only has MMPR. They plan to air season 3 on Netflix, at least.And we don't know who is doing toys for the reboot, although Hasbro was rumored.
>>11713533>Playmates only has MMPRWrong, there's absolutely nothing that actually suggests that. That's just some misinformation some retard on twitter spread because he didn't understand what a master license is.
>>11713550I thought they said that at Toy Fair last year.
>>11713554No, a retard was told by a Hasbro rep at Toyfair when asked about Lightning collection continuing that Playmates didn't have the master license. Then that retard spread around that they only had the license to MMPR.
>>11713519>season 3 is not profitableWasn't the movie? Same thing.
>We've gone from "I wonder if the Season 3 line will do Crabbie Cabbie or Globbor" to "I hope they at least do Rito"
>>11713519They can pull it of if they go for a Movie angle
As said last thread: Now that the Tyrannosaurus Zord's sticker is fixed, should I bite the bullet and get all of them? The factor that the Mastodon Zord's elbows are stuck sideways meaning it can't hold it's shield in a non-stupid way is a major turn-off.
>>11713276Americans designed this one.
>>11711540>>11711546That Godzilla is proof they'll be fine if they reroute all their resources to Goji and Kong.
>>11713598Why wouldn't they? Last year they showed a bunch of stuff cause they were launching the line from scratch. I'm sure there are more than two evil space aliens planned for season 2, they just aren't show them all at once. The Rita/Putty case released in September. The Baboo/Goldar case released in January. That would make May a likely release for Squatt/King Sphinx. Then September for Zedd/Z-Putty. It fits perfectly. The Playmates rep said Walmart would once again get an early exclusivity endcap in July, so I imagine Zedd will get an advanced release there similar to Rita. There's no reason we shouldn't expect Rito and a Tenga to follow suit come the first wave of season 3.
>>11713402Thin your paints
>>11713484Yeah, I really don't understand why they keep trying to lock the most popular character's stuff behind an exclusivity window. I can't imagine whatever pittance Playmates is being paid for the exclusivity is better for the brand's success than wide availability. People are fickle, why make it more difficult for them to buy your products if you don't have to?
>>11712707Only the zords/transformation items, all the rangers they did were unique sculpts. But by OO they were producing their own(cheaper) Megazords too)
>>11713272Yeah, I appreciate the fact that someone finally made them, but being in a scale I don't care for kind of ruins it. I wish Playmates would give us a 5" Bulk and Skull. Season 2 only has 4 new Automorphins, so they could slot in there.>>11713279They're way too big for Lightning Collection Rangers, though they work well with the oversized Lightning Collection monsters.
>>11713870All the villains were BoA originals as well, save for Lightspeed Rescue's Diabolico and Magmavore, which was the only time BoJ released villains in Sentai's yearly toyline that weren't cheap 3 POA vinyls.
>>11713847They need to suck WalMart's dick and get them to do an exclusive Dragonzord too.
>>11713519Could be if they play it right.>MMPR Movie Ninja Rangers & Ninja Megazord>Alien Rangers & Shogun Megazord>villains such as Rito, Tengas and Master Vile squeezed in between the S3/Movie stuff
>>11713974And maybe Titanus.
>>11713990I don't see Titanus happening considering how big he'd be and the shelf space issues of the current retailers. Same with Pyramidas if this goes beyond MMPR.
>>11713996So give them to Amazon. Playmates needs to stop sucking brick and mortar dick. Its not the 90s anymore.
>>11714013That's also the option for Dragonzord if it gets made. I'm more surprised retailers actually wanted White Tigerzord.
>>11714014>ifSigh...
>>11713974>>villains such as Rito, Tengas and Master Vile squeezed in between the S3/Movie stuffWell now, since we have no idea how the future waves are going to work with how many characters and all that, I suppose we'll have to forgo any fun/cool/new characters like Centiback and Crabbie Cabbie, so I present to the thread a revised Season 3/MMPRTM joint wave of Evil Space Aliens.
>>11714063If Alien Rangers are coming, Hydro Hog could be a possibility.
>>11711779Yeah, I don't know why they couldn't just go with a more simple horn missile that wouldn't interfere with the neck articulation. What the fuck are they even doing?>>11714063Looks pretty good, but even that seems more reasonable than Playmates thought process right now.
>>11714063I really hope they don't touch the movie. Nothing Playmates releases would come close to Bandai's 2015 movie figures, and Bandai even made an Ivan in that line, so he's already had two 5" figures. The Ooze Men would be the only thing I'd care about, as it always bugged me that they didn't get figures back in the day. But ultimately, I'd rather have Crabbie Cabbie than any movie villain.
https://toy-wizards.com/2026/02/15/toy-fair-2026-playmates-keeps-power-rangers-still-morphenominal-after-all-these-years/?ampSo yeah, the line is doing well. According to Playmates, the auto morphers and masks are surprisingly selling better than expected.And yet they can't find a place for the Dragonzord. Ponderous man, fucking ponderous...
>>11714557Hasbro recently said Playmates Toys has reenergized the brand.https://www.licenseglobal.com/toys-games/10-minutes-with-hasbro-on-how-it-is-redefining-licensing-in-the-u-k-with-nostalgia-innovation-and-fan-first-strategies>And yet they can't find a place for the DragonzordThey couldn't last year when the line was new and unproven. Now Tigerzord is wanted, so the sentiment has changed. I'm sure someone will scoop up the Dragonzord soon enough. The only issue is the timing.The Dragonzord makes the Megazord more appealing. A lot of people won't buy a Megazord without a corresponding Dragonzord. It happened in the Legacy line. As soon as the Legacy Dragonzord was revealed the demand for the Legacy Megazord exploded, and any remaining stock was quickly depleted. The Legacy Megazord aftermarket prices got stupidly high until Bandai eventually reissued it.What these retailers don't understand is that by not having a Dragonzord available at the same time as the Megazord, or at least announced, they are seriously gimping their Megazord sales. Releasing a Dragonzord later, when the Dinozords are no longer available, will cause the same problem the Legacy line had. If Playmates is smart they'll make sure the Dinozords are available somewhere if/when the Dragonzord eventually releases.
>>11714651Man, I hope. I already gave up on Titanus, at least let me have this...
>>11714680>TitanusI don't think most people realize the monumental impact Toys R Us closing had on the toy industry. Toys R Us allowed for giant shit no one wanted like the Lion Fire Fortress Zord to exist. If they hadn't gone out of business you'd have 100% gotten Dragonzord and Titanus from Playmates in year 1.
>>11714680They COULD release a Dragonzord Fighting Mode set.
Would've been nice if they had used this as an opportunity to right the wrongs of Bandai and give Tommy his proper details.
Boxes similar, but don't show the actors like the originals did. They're also not using the character names, instead naming the Rangers by color in 3 different languages.
>>11714544>Nothing Playmates releases would come close to Bandai's 2015 movie figures, and Bandai even made an Ivan in that line, so he's already had two 5" figures. The Ooze Men would be the only thing I'd care about, as it always bugged me that they didn't get figures back in the day.I wouldn't mind a new Mordant. The figure we got back in 1995 looks like the sculptor just had a quick peek at Mordant, waited a month, then tried to recreate him from memory and then accidentally gave him Squatt's proportions.
>>11715098>>11715101Not only would "fixing" the Green Ranger have been nice, I would've also liked it if we could've finally gotten the Rangers without the Power Coin symbols on their chests... and finally maybe get 8" versions of the Power Weapons for all six Rangers. But at least the chest symbols.Though at least the Blade Blasters are colored this time.
>>11715112>>11715098>tfw the one thing they fixed on the Green ranger is give him the proper dragon coin on his chest.
>>11715104Gordy made a bendable Mordant with a movie accurate sculpt in scale. That's the one I use. Bandai was clearly using early production designs, which is why their figure is so off-model. The same thing happened with Lord Zedd. Though what's crazy is Bandai released new 5" and 8" Lord Zedd figures the following year using the same off-model design instead of fixing them to reflect the show's appearance.
>>11715112That would've been great. Not having the weapons always felt wrong, and I'd love to be able to own a set without the chest coins.
>>11715098
>>11715124Where did that Denver the Last Dinosaur looking symbol even come from?
>>11715171I've always seen speculation that they based it off Titanus, for some reason.It does sort of resemble Titanus more
>>11711540>draws cat goji>>11711546>sculpts rat goji なんだよ
>>11711597Its sad how much harder they tried with the TMNT Godzilla crossover figures... back when I assumed they thought that partnership would be eternal.
>No Dragonzord announcement>No new monsters announced>Really weird looking ThunderZords announced>Even more regular MMPR figs>Conversation drops like a fucking rock.It's like Playmates wants the franchise to die
>>11715764How about the old 8 inch figures? I had the blue one.https://www.instagram.com/reel/DUwS91tEoUk
you all poo-poo'd this line and now you've missed out
>>11716046cool doll fag
>>11716049ty it's crazy good compared to anything the lightning collection ever had
>>11716046The rest of the suit looks great, but the helmet just doesn't look right with the red diamond over the visor.
>>11716213*without the red diamond, that is.
>>11713228To be fair, Bandai got fucking Gluttonous with both the Movie and Ninja Steel, TWO huge megazord boxes that only Toys R US could carry was such a fucking dumb idea.
>>11716453It was a really bad idea. 2017Movie Megazord looked was more of an original toy while the Lion Fire Fortress Playset was BoA misunderstanding the complaints about their megazords being smaller than their Japanese counterparts and went waaaay to hard on that...thing.
>>11711546This is cool, but the rangers are garbage.
>>11711597>>11711701Wow that fig sucks ass comparing these two
i guess these are back in stock? or maybe they never went out and I didn't noticeI think they look like the costumes those dudes wore in the music video spoof sixnine thing
>>11717089
>>11716972Don't compare it to the original art too much, the artist in the comic was shit and characters were wildly inconsistent from one panel to the next.
New MMPR comic relaunch costumes. They are doing MMPR again but this time with worse costumes!
>>11717506Americans can't do anything new and just keep on remaking this lazy sloppa
>>11711540Kino
>>11717536>AI beating boom slopLow bar
>>11717551>honestly not gonna lie but it's one hell of a downright boner thing to do when power rangers has always been a staple of badassery and excellence for one hell of a kick ass king Fu wallabaloo and ai slopping this boomer sloppa is just down right shameful not to mention all the water wasted to keep those ai servers running and chilled
>>11717506they don't get that the diamonds are supposed to be like teeth, why is it always people without a clue getting handed the keys to the kingdom
>>11717506Didn't they reboot the comic like a year ago?No skirt on pink ranger doesn't give me much confidence.
>>11716046i forgot to preorder, got the 6 pack but life's been too busy and every shop is oos, I was thinking it looked so off that it wouldn't be as popular, but then again people buy those weird fanfiction ones with gold streaks all over the suit
>>11717661>Didn't they reboot the comic like a year ago?Yes but that wasn't Mighty Morphin. That was a new team led by Lauren Shiba from PR Samurai set in an alternate timeline where Earth has been conquered and Rita assembles the Rangers.
Well the rumor I heard at toy fair seems to be true. After mmpr reignition they’re going to Dino thunder
>>11717506What the fuck are those triangles even supposed to be? The dark secondary color is fine. Kingohger suits did it and they were my some of my favourite suits. But everything else is just what.
>>11718019What?
>>11718051Fortnite just added Dino thunder out of nowhere. If anon isn’t bullshiting about a rumor then that has to be more than a coincidence.
>>11718067Or they just wanna milk Jason David Frank.
>>11718019If they skip Zeo I am literally going to rage-shit.
>>11718070He's in MMPR's direct sequel, they wouldn't need to leap all the way to Dino Thunder for that.
>>11718198Maybe they’re just sticking to Dino shit
>>11717556>>11717507Kenny, go back you pedo
>>11717664there were so few of the greens available to begin with it's mind boggling. I'm selling mine when it comes in cuz I don't like the scale of it though, too tall.
>>11717652If you stretch a little, you can see it as the three diamonds converging into a single tooth. Still shows the typical lack of understanding of the original intention behind the patterns.
>>11711581>Griffonzord: Hehehe surprise buttsex!>Unicornzord: Ready for-ACK!
>>11713880>They're way too big for Lightning Collection RangersNTA but fuck if that isn't a deal breaker for me.
>>11718392Which means that after Dino Thunder, it's Dino Charge time.
>>11719147I really hope not but I can see the future of power rangers being Dino focused
>>11719161This. >ninja dinos >cyber dinos>alien dinos>norse dinos>magic dinosEtc
>Lord Zedd>Z-PuttyIs there a chance there'll be any others? Was anything kept until after Toy Fair to be revealed with the Season 1 toys?
>>11721761>Is there a chance there'll be any others?They've only been releasing two at a time, so these are likely just the first two of the season 2 line. There's nothing to suggest the Evil Space Aliens aren't selling well and would be scaled back. My local Targets keep stocking them and they keep selling out, so I'm optimistic.
>>11719028yeah, thats why the line died, hard. No one wanted to start yet another scale
>>11719161>>11719164the biggest issue and why MMPR dominated so much of the perception of PR is that every theme between MMPR and In Space was so much weaker. The Thunderzords are cool but the blue and yellow zords are just weak, Tor is a downgrade from Titanus. And even with In Space, the Mega Voyager zords were kinda dull individually.
>>11722101Hey, the Zeozords were cool. Super Zeo....not so much.
>>11722110I like Super Zeo. They're objectively the most capable individual Zords of the Zordon era, and possibly the entire series, since they're all humanoid and can fly. Turbo Zords were a massive downgrade.
>>11718019I guess Dino Thunder would be good era to test in additional zords could sell on their own. The main megazord only has 3 pieces by default.
>>11722176If*
>>11722076>They've only been releasing two at a time, so these are likely just the first two of the season 2 line.Sure, but last time they revealed all six at once, regardless of their two-at-a-time release schedule.
>>11722191That was when they were launching the line and shopping different things around to retailers to see what they'd bite on. It may have been the original intention to have the six evil space aliens as a single wave, but retailers didn't have enough faith in them selling to commit to more than two at a time. In year 2 Playmates have a better sense of where the line stands, so they can be more focused in what they show. If Rita and the season 1 Putty sold well enough to get Goldar and Baboo in January before any other wave 2 product, Zedd and the Z-Putty should have no problem moving enough units to get another wave after that.
>>11722092Jesus, imagine getting paint mogged by Bandai Legacy, the line notorious for having bright cheesy yellow for gold.
Updated with better pics from Toy Fair.
>>11724753We came so close with Imaginext...
>>11724825I'd say Reaction came closer since their Z-Putty wasn't just a Rita Putty with a quasi-vest cheaply painted on.
>>11722165The Shogun Zords had weapons and a finishing move. I'd mention the Rescue Zords but I remember almost nothing about them other than them transforming from vehicles to humanoids.
>>11724863Super Zeo Zords also had weapons, and individually destroyed Mondo's upgraded monsters. Their flight capabilities alone puts them above Shogun or Turbo Rescue Zords.
>>11724753Bunch of crap
>>11711642>the replacement rangersComing to a Ross and Ollie’s near you!
>>11725093You're clearly not a Power Rangers fan so why are you here? >>11725118The originals were quite rare so I could see there being a market for them.

Anyone else get their Kaiju Rangers today?
Test 2
Why the fuck is the thread not moving in the catalog?
8" Green in a triangle box and with a Dragon Dagger
>>11726438What is this fuckery?
>>11726438>>11726506Once a thread has lived long enough, it stops bumping, regardless of how active it is. I forget what the logic behind it was.
>>11726393>>11726395OH, BUT THE TIGERZORD, YOU DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM MAKING THAT ONE
>>11726716Blame the retailers who weren't interested in carrying Dragonzord. Now that the line has proven successful there's willingness to carry Tigerzord. People seem to forget that all of the Legacy Zords were Toys R Us exclusive at the time of release. I know the Megazord reissue was carried by online retailers like Entertainment Earth, but I can't recall any other physical store carrying it, or any of the other Legacy Zords seeing release outside of Toys R Us. Even with the toy landscape being dramatically different 13 years ago, only a big dedicated toy store like Toys R Us was willing to carry the stuff.
>>11726498wow, they come with their weapons, nice touch when the originals just had guns, I made some out of construction paper back in the day
My solution for the megazords at retail would be to make them non transforming and have them scale with whatever size the monsters that scale with ranger figures are. Anything over 7 inches is stupid.
You know, I can't believe this never occurred to me before, but it just did... Why does the Godzilla Ranger figure come with the Sword of Darkness? The Sword of Darkness doesn't appear once in the comic. The Dragon Dagger does, though, but the figure doesn't come with that. The fuck?
>>11726984It’s just a way for them to get it out
>>11726984What's weirder is it's not even the proper Sword of Darkness.
>>11727037It's a Godzilla-fied Sword of Darkness, same way that Jason's Power Sword was Rodan-ified. I get that, that's fine, if the Sword of Darkness HAD shown up in the comic, that's probably what it would've looked like. But it didn't, so it's just weird they went to the trouble of redesigning it at all.
Is it just me or does the Thunder Megazord look smaller than the original Megazord? These being fuckhuge was the only selling point for me.
>>11727058Is that the combining one or the ultimate, fancy lights and sounds one?
>>11727064Either way the Tigerzord looks really small.
>>11727058The thunder megazord in non combining. Compare to Dino megazord that is non combining in the box behind it. The unboxed Dino megazord to the left that is unboxed is the combining one which is bigger.
>>11726898It's crazy to me that Playmates isn't doing 5" Zords. Bandai didn't start making them until Zeo, so there would definitely be demand for MMPR ones.
>>11727179>Auric the Conqueror ZordI wonder if that's just Bandai being dumb or if an early idea for Auric was to cut all his human-sized fights and try to make him into a Zord.
>>11727235I don't think it's ever been officially stated, but it's more likely that they saw his Moai form in early materials and thought they could make him the Zeo equivalent of Tor, only to later find his footage made it easier to leave him as a sentient being.
>>11727235There's a TV commercial which sort of implies he's the Gold Ranger's Zord.https://youtu.be/pFujr5T7mQw?si=m9eK9SVGaseW1cTpI think that may have been the original intention of Power Rangers based on early designs and such until they actually got the Ohranger footage and saw how he was utilized. Doug Sloan talked about a similar thing with Dino Thunder, originally thinking the Triassic Ranger was going to be a 6th Ranger, and the toyline certainly treated him as such. Since Power Rangers was only a year behind Sentai at the time, they had to begin production of the show/toys while the Sentai was airing, so they were often flying blind and forced to make assumptions.
>>11727328The show did end up having Tanya give Jason the key to him which I thought was kinda bullshit. Her parents found it!That said I think it was probably just a matter of keeping the zord branding aligned without thinking of it much. Ninjor avoided it but Ninjakon, whatever it's meant to be, was called a zord
Someone really needs to clue Playmates into what hot glue means in the figure collecting community.
>>11727474that horrific yellow helmet
>>11727474>>11727584Jesus, I thought the eyes and ears on Yellow's helmet were just unpainted, I didn't realize they weren't there at all. What the fuck.
>>11729647They're there. Some AI fuckery is going on with that image.
We have no Toku General anymore... We need to use this thread as refugees. From this point on, the Power Rangers general thread will also have to be for all Toku toys, as there's no other place to talk about this.So let's start with an extremely bad news: Gavan Infinity toys are not selling well, probably because of how hard Sentai got dropped. This is an all-time low for a franchise starter.
>>11730500>probably because of how hard Sentai got droppedMore likely because nobody knows what the fuck gavan infinity is supposed to be. If they had just called it sentai there’d be no drop in sales.
So, Toei can't distribute the Sentai versions internationally because the rights with Power Rangers prevents that right? Does that include other forms of media like games?
>>11730819>Does that include other forms of media like games?Yes.
>>11730819So it's>Super Sentai = Japan>Power Rangers = Everywhere elseIs that correct?
