>>11805497We are wandering in the desert like this Jason figure, searching for mirages of Power Rangers products that will never come.
Mini roar
>>11805514At least we have the SMP Turbo Megazord coming out this month. Very likely they'll announce Rescue Megazord or Robo Racer right before it releases too.
>>11805640Turbo had good designs, but really I'm just a little disappointed that it wasn't Zeo instead.Still, I have been lusting after Artillatron since I was 7.
>>11805867>Turbo had good designsCarranger had good designs*
>>11805880Potato, Tomato.I call the first Megazord Daizyujin for simplicity's sake, since "The first MMPR Megazord" is a mouthful and "The Dino Megazord" is a bit of a broad description at this point.
>>11805497I want Playmates to bankrupt already
>>11805890It's coming. Them trying to cause legal action over TMNT is crushing them.
>>11805890That reminds me, when were the Kaiju Ranger figures supposed to drop?
Real talkIf you were wondering a wasteland with that sword how long before you’d stick the hilt up your butt? I’d make it about 3 weeks.
>>11805930He wasn't even wandering a wasteland Kenshiro style.He was fighting more or less normal stuff like bank robbers, burning buildings, terrorists, things like that. Morphed non-stop for a few years.In the story the only thing that's majorly fucked up is the moon after the Rangers launched an offensive on Rita's Palace and blew it the fuck up after her and Zedd destroyed Zordon, Alpha, and the Command Center.
>>11805975Badass but there’s no reason for Jason to be all ptsd’d then. Has he gone insane?
>>11805977>Has he gone insane?Just a little bit. He became a firefighter after they won the war and everyone agreed to stop being Power Rangers. Then there was an arson that killed a bunch of people, and he felt like he could have done more to help if he were using the Power, and started morphing again.Billy and Zach were the only ones that were even occasionally morphing, for science or charity, and he asked them to stop so it wouldn't tax the morphing grid or something, and he could stay morphed 24/7.Which explains why his helmet that would have repaired in between morphs has a scar, but the Power Sword doubling in mass never gets addressed in any way.I recommend reading the story, it's decent, like a slightly better version of Once and Always, and won't take more than an hour to finish.
>>11805640The need to remake Dino Megazord its is looking outdated compared to the new stuff.
>>11806041Really the only thing I can complain about it is the shitty color they used for the grey metal parts like the arms and horns.
>>11805930Huh
>>11805497everything looks cooler with a poncho
>>11806046It's not bad, but compared to the newer SMPs, it's a bit on the small side. The hands are awful-looking, though. it could definitely use the serious effort the latest SMPs have been getting after they ditched this being a candy toyline.
>>11806133Yes
>>11806041Didn't they make a new one for Gozyuger? I swear I remember seeing a new version and even a tolen black repaint of it.
>>11806223Yes and it was hot assThe gimmick figures w ere ugly as shitJust go for the Legacy or Soul of Chogokin
>>11805984>but the Power Sword doubling in mass never gets addressed in any way.Somehow, the wrapping on the handle bothers me even more. He's already wearing gloves, and it's already a magic weapon coded to his powers. Why does he have to worry about having a solid grip? I get it, it's post-apocalyptic for the sake of it, but damn.
>>11806247The suits do take damage and the weapons presumably do too. Maybe unmorphing triggers some kind self repair sequence once the suits and weapons reintegrate back into the Morphin' Grid. If Jason was morphed constantly, then maybe he'd have to add stuff like wrapping the grip over time to make up for all the wear and tear. But the actual reason is that it just looks cool, which is the most important thing in Power Rangers at the end of the day.
>>11805923they've been out, no one wants them
I'll ask here too, anyone got pics of Lucky Cat Zords next to Monsterarts/Hiyas so I can figure out which way to go
>>11806524I love the idea, and I want the power coins, but they just look really mediocre.I wish Hasbro had held onto the license so we could have gotten them in the Lightning Collection.I guess I'll find some reproduction coins on Etsy.
>>11806254>Maybe unmorphing triggers some kind self repair sequence once the suits and weapons reintegrate back into the Morphin' Grid. If Jason was morphed constantly, then maybe he'd have to add stuff like wrapping the grip over time to make up for all the wear and tear.Then just demorph for 5 minutes so your shit can repair itself. The concept of this is so incredibly stupid.
>>11806524I have them. They're fine. Sadly the power coins are just bases to put them on.
>>11806889I'm torn between "Oh, that's kinda cool actually" and "wow that's gay".
>>11806903this, big godzilla fan but the figures just look cheap.
>>11805497so they could make the other rangers in this suit style?
>>11807472Everyone else is the same in their suit, except for Kim's daughter who uses the Green coin for a bit, and Rita's daughter Selene, who steals the Yellow coin.Ad a female White Ranger who shows up in the last panel.
>>11806889Because of course one of the worst people around would buy that trash.
>>11806889I wish the Power Coins didn't have the monsters' names on them and just looked like the Dino and Ninja Coins.
>>11807484Im just talking about the suit itself, not the additions. So the rest of the rangers could be the same but the suit style is different from the previous models.
>>11808057He's notably bulkier, and the fabric seems to be matte instead of glossy.
>>11808475He still fits in but you can tell the difference in the suit, looks like 2 patterns on his suit plus the knee protectors.
[LaughingRaptors.jpg]I got my Red RaptorSo now that's 3/3 Raptors, Got Oviraptor and Green Ankylo in a d ay or so agoNow it's hunting Archeleon, Green Ammonite, Purple Pachy, Red Ptera and the two Tyranno's
>>11809607what the fuck is this
>>11809764Not Power Rangers, that's for sure.
>>11809764>>11809817It is literally the Raptorzords from Dino ChargeI like the Sentai Kyoryuger so I started to collect the US Power Ranger ones because there's some US Only Zords
i just discovered this spider-man and felt i needed to post it here
>>11810151The US only zords were really cool. Ammonite is my favorite.
>>11809607Green Parasaur that I entirely forgot aboutNow it's just 6 more
>>11810210Loved this toy. Always surprised more toy companies didn't use more engineering like the automorphins for such a gimmick.
>>11812612is this like a Burger King Big Kids Meal thing
>>11814017BoA Parasagun color variant.
>>11814017Are you guys just fucking retarded and doing this "huhh? What dis?? whaaa?" shit on purpose?There's numerous posts in the past few days that feels like some retarded guys from Twitter ended up here and have a "lol what's this shit" reaction to literally everything
>Here's your Terror ToadI like the play aspect of eating Rangers, but I wish it was something a bit more show accurate.
>>11812639There were a couple of toys from Jim Carrey's Mask movie that also had this gimmick.
>>11814338"Terror Toad" was dumb but I liked the rest of Imaginext's figures. It's a shame they never got around to Rito and Master Vile, or these two.
so is playmates line already over? I thought people said it was selling well
>>11814098im sorry anon it just looks dumb cheap and bad, and i've never seen it before.
>>11814509Nobody had faith to start with man other than the same soi golem reditors who mindlessly slurp the MMPR Slop every single timeI KIND of wanted the main Dino Megazord but then it's individual releases with the only box set being a fucking Walmart only with nicer paint apps that sold out instantly and has been perma sold out since
>>11814338>Terror Toad toy>Looks nothing like himDennis Frogbros just can't win can we.
>>11814925I was really excited about the Evil Space Aliens because they initially unveiled a whopping six characters, with King Sphinx, Squatt, and Baboo completely new to the scale. Then Squatt and King Sphinx were cancelled, bringing the line down to four, and then the Evil Space Aliens for season two were just Lord Zedd and Z-Putty and there were *no* new characters. Now I'm just hoping maybe we can get a new Rito figure when the toys reach season three, but Playmates still took my most anticipated part of their toyline and emptied it out.
>>11815312I don't understand what Playmates was going for. Did they expect millions of sales for a dormant IP with just an AI 'remaster' of a 90s tv show put up on streaming? It seems like they started canceling stuff almost immediately after they began
>>11815779isn't there an entirely new mmpr show now
>>11815796What delusion are you on? It's dead.
>>11815812In anon's defense, Disney is supposedly currently working on some type of PR reboot, but it isn't known if it's MMPR or a generic "Power Rangers" or what.
>>11815855Who knows if it's woke or not. Isn't Hasbro wanting to focus on media? Why is Disney making the show? What does Hasbro even do?
Out in china, some loose ones aliexpressDragon and tiger are 49.99 retail.Assault team are 20 each.
>>11815875Jesus, is that the smallest the Tigerzord has ever been in comparison to its corresponding Thunder Megazord?
>>11815921Yeah most likely. One of two things either Thunder is huge due to the legs adding a ton of lift and dragon in battle mode is also the same size as tiger or tiger really is shrunk.
>>11815875are these knockoffs of anything in particular?gundamit has one of these guys left at a pretty steep sale price
>>11815932by that i mean a good discount from MSRP
>>11815932Nope just playmates version of the original megazord mold.
>>11815936ah i see, neat.
>>11815921>>11815875The Tiger-let Zord
>>11815875And still no Dragonzord.
>>11816064That means the line is over
>>11816064>"Surely we can have a successful toyline without the most popular character!">Playmates, at some point, probably.
The US releases are great for the Zord Builder systemSo using Gosei GreatGosei GroundGold ClawzordSamurai Megazordyou can make Great Ground Gosei Gold Daikai Shinken-OhOr just G4 Daikai Shinken-OhI'm aiming for a Dino Charge Megazord finally so I can make G4 Kiryu Daikai Shinken-OhFucking Dino Charge Megazord is god damn $70+ everywhere tho
>>11815875White Tigerzord looks good. Thunder Megazord? No...Ninja Megazord should be much easier to work with.
>>11816064No retailer wants it, box is biggest out of the line apparently. Maybe BBTS next year
You know, traditionally, the Dragonzord is usually one of the smallest of the main MMPR Zords when translated to toy form, if not THE smallest, with the Thunder Megazord noticeably being the biggest, eclipsed only by Tor and Titanus. This has been pretty consistent across all the various releases and versions over the decades. If Playmates somehow managed to make a Dragonzord that was bigger than this >>11815875 fucking monstrosity, they did something extremely wrong.
Unless they were doing some weird ass shit with their Dragonzord, like it folded out into an whole ass playset big enough to contain the entire Ultrazord AND the Command Center, there IS no "the box was too big."
>>11816848Look at the box the giftset megazord comes in and then think how big the dragonzord needs to be to appropriately fit on the megazord.
>>11815875these unironically look worse than the original toys
>>11816846>>11816848>>11817064>>11817147Legacy is still the second best option following the SoC releases. Which have got several reissues
>>11817161>Legacy is still the second best optionIt's really sad that over all these years that is still the case.
>>11817161>>11817182I own most of the megazord releases and I wanted to get a set of the shit ZAP releases, but they never went down low enough for me to justify the purchase. Now it's been so long they've seemingly gone back up in price. Guess I won't be adding the the best of the worst to my collection.
>>11817259Same, Debated a lot but I never saw them dip low enough to merit priceThen the more I saw stuff like this the more I was like ehh nevermind
>>11817300I actually liked the Megazord, given it's actual poseability, but the Dragonzord was such colossal ASS that I did a weird thing and ended up selling my Legacy Megazord and keeping the ZAP version of that and selling my ZAP Dragonzord and keeping the Legacy version of that.They're all going now though, fuck this scale.
god damn I am so pumped to get this fucker in the mail in like 3 weekshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MiUK8lR3J2I
>>11817161>Legacy is still the second best optionPersonally I'd say the SMP is the second best, but that's mainly because of the fucked balancing issues with the Mega Dragonzord and Ultrazord.
>>11818078A tier SOC and SMP are the best quality qualifiersB tier are Legacy and the Lucky Cat 3rd partyInbetween these is Original.C tier is Zap and Hasbro Playschool D tier is Playmates.
>>11820039Any guess where Altaya would sit?
>>11820039I appreciate the SMP's but I don't really think they look very good
>>11821117The only thing I'd say is actually "bad" about them is the choice of the flat grey instead of some kind of metallic.
>>11821117Smp’s are the only ones at that scale that completed the releases. Lucky cat hasn’t, probably won’t.>>11820251Probably C because of entry cost and lack of stability in anything that isn’t A stance because its too big. Barrier to entry with construction of wiring is also a minus.
>>11821498true, but personally I don't mind things being from different manufacturers as long as they look great to begin with and look passable when next to each other. Like my Lucky Cat Mega/Dragonzords will be next to a bunch of Hiya Godzilla stuff, the Innovation Thunder Megazord and the cheapo VHS White Tigerzord, which actually doesn't look very different from the SMP one anyway.I don't really care about whether or not they can break down into the base Zords, I have never displayed anything that way. It's a bonus if they do and I'll take that version if it looks good and can actually pose well.
>>11821498>Lucky cat hasn’t, probably won’t.If they do, I hope that Titanus can fold into a box, unlike the Dragonzord.
>>11822272I want a White Falconzord so I hope they do a bunch of stuff
>>11822024For the money they ask for any type of Dino megazord, like playmates wanting 80-100 for the current. It better break down into zords. Anything pricier than 60 better transform individually. If they want to sell a non transforming one at 20 or 40 then by all means.
>>11822272They should make titanus big enough that he turns into hollow box that stores the other cubes
>>11824079fuckinLucky Cat Hire This Man
>>11824077thoughts on the static Thunder Megazord they want $300 for pls
>>11824210Crock of shit, there's no reason whatsoever for it cost that much besides the fact its niche and probably unofficial. The flame toys one's are gaudy but atleast they transform.
>>11814344Why is Serpentera wearing a tuxedo?
>>11821117Why is he left handed?
>>11824778That's just how he looks.
>>11824802He is a chunky boi
>>11824771it actually is, surprisingly, official
>>11824786I dunno ask the ebay seller I stole the pic from>>11824802did this stupid fuck ever actually do anything or was it always just "we're here, oh no we're out of juice"
>>11825325>did this stupid fuck ever actually do anything or was it always just "we're here, oh no we're out of juice"It destroyed a planet in its debut. After that it was just "We're here, oh no, we're out of juice."
>>11825602what the place with the transfer sword thing? Yeah I guess but that place was already fucked anyway
It's kind of a fragile piece of shit, but I got it on sale and my Legacy version more than covers it in resale so I like it
>>11826786Jesus, the head on that trident is fucking huge.
>>11805640Still hope they do Mega Voyager one day
Is this how Power Rangers ends?
>>11827008it's also very stiff and brittle plastic, don't ever knock the points of it against anything ever.
Wait, so apparently this actually was up for sale at some point? Or not?? I'm confused.https://www.dcbservice.com/product/may252308/mmpr-reaction-wv5-shellshock-af-%28net%29-
Well, the Playmates Thunderzords were on Amazon. Sold out already.
>>11829623Blame the PR twitter influencers I saw a few who posted it and it went fucking crazy in views
I think I’ll just get Red Dragon and that’s it.
And hey, Target finally had the rest of the aliens. I got Goldar and a Putty.
