Oldie but goodies (Power Rangers)

[Sniper33]

Seems to be trying to act like the AVGN doing movie reviews, but comes off sounding pathetic. That guy is horrid. I'm pretty sure a guy (Austin) who actually studies MA knows alot more about it then the "reviewer". The show can really seem horrible if you watch it new as an adult then growing up with it as a kid. Well you heard him, get the drill!

Also should work on his audio as well, dumb to have his audio low so that you turn up the speakers, and then having the clips play loud.

..

And yea, i agree MaulFan.

I think it's too new to be as nostalgic as Transformers, most folks really nostalgic on Transformers are around 25-40 years old and like 4 or older when it came out, people that young when Power Rangers came out are still too young to be reminescing and should be living in the present.

I, myself, think it's fine. If you're gonna sell toys for nostalgia, might as well target the mid twenties who would collect these. I was 11 when the show first came out, so the timing is perfect for me. Anyway, Transformers G2 started only around 5 years after the show originally ended and it worked out fine for them. Hell, I get nostalgic when I think about Beast Wars and that came out a couple years after MMPR.

Was just looking at the new GR's dagger and noticed that its made with those silver sparkles on the inside. Gives it a nice look, but I think it will be painting to normal colors.

Also the Regular rangers have a small hole on the left side of their belts to clip in their guns....though those are oversized as well.

Also MF, there is a Zedd, but he isn't as articulated as the other figures. Plus the only way to buy him atm is in a Ranger 5 pack as well.

I'll probably pick up the set just to have them all. I definetly want Goldar crappy or not.

 

[Sniper33]

Well picked up MW2 and Uncharted 2 today at TRU. Then went over to Walmart and picked up the remaining figures from the set. I was about to walk away when I realized that I was missing Alpha, went back and found him buried under ben 10 figs.

Also Goldar didn't ring up, all other figures did so not sure why he didn't. Guy at the registers had to input the codes in for me to buy it.

Crappy picture for now, didnt know it was gonna be that bad when I took it.

huuuwaaat!?.....you have Alpha 5 and a Putty?..so fawking cool!

 

[MaulFan]

Man i want to pick these up now, I feel like I'm 11 again.

 

[ArmoredFoe]

I get paid this week so Im definetly going to hit up my walmart and see if they have them as well.

 

[MaulFan]

Which raises a question, how much are these per figure?

Thought I said it before when I first showed them. At walmart they are $5.86, when TRU gets them in they will be $6.99

 

[MaulFan]

Walmart just won my business

 

[jinxx]

wait, wait! Are they selling MMPR figures after over 15 years?..explain how and why?

 

[ArmoredFoe]

Not exactly sure why, but I just know that they wanted to bring them back for a "new generation" to enjoy at least thats what I read.

I also know that the current series running in Japan, Shinkenger will not be coming to the US, because again I read that being that the series is based on heavy traditional Japanese motifs and the symbols and phrases used during the shows will not translate well for US tv or for US toy makers bandai opted to not bring it here. So that might be another reason they decided to revamp the old line.

 

[jinxx]

I thought Disney bought the franchise?.....or they bought the distribution rights here in North America?

 

[Valfar]

They seem decently priced, i may have to get just the Rangers or atleast the Green ranger(my favorite colour in general), he has the best costume design of them all.

 

[Sniper33]

Wow just opened Goldar and Putty. Putty has good movement and the acessories are pretty nice, although they woud of been better painted instead of solid black. Goldar sucks big time. He has even less articulation then I thought. He has restricted head, arm and leg movement. Total POA are

Head
Shoulder x2
Legs x2
Feet x2

Only real pose he can do is just standing. Although he does look nice standing next to the green ranger.
