Love how you displayed the rangers with their individual zords!

Thanks!

Great display ropen!!!

Thanks! I was just testing the displays, I am about to start putting back some hot toys!

I started out being a fan of MMPR, then branched out with Zyuranger and their merchandise along with gosei and ninja, my only question is that they release all the Sh figuarts for gosei and ninja figures

Yeah, Kimberly was pulled from the assortment under Bandai's new
"girls don't sell, so we won't ship them anymore" policy.

Such asshats.

Wait is that true?

How did Gamestop get the legacy head morphers out so fast? Plus the guy I talked told me they got the green ranger 1:1 helmet also, I want all the head turners plus the stand alone megazords like voltron is doing along with the blue ranger just for that long lance to use with the sh figuarts!

Good luck to everyone looking for them.

They look pretty darn good! I'm impressed, but I ultimately got to pass. I'm still slowly selling my Legacy collection, making way for the PCS 1:1 busts (when they eventually get released, which I'm sure won't be for a while.) I'd love a 1:4th polystone Megazord though.

I am not going to lie the Auto Morphin legacy figures ARE THE WAY TO DO REPRODUCTIONS! most of the time they change the packaging and slap a new logo, but holding the card is like going back in time to the fall of 1994 and hold one from kmart or kb toys, i was stumped when I saw the warning sorry these figures are not for sale lolol cant wait to get the rest of the others but that price tag 20.00 hurts, for tommy worth it, the rest, im not too sure

They seriously look good. I'm definitely a little jealous. I'll definitely have to check out my Gamestop, at least just to see them in person.

Pretty much true, from the Pink and Yellow Auto-Morphins, to the Zeo Yellow, Zeo Pink and Dino Thunder Yellow Legacy figures,
all of the Bandai girl figures have been placed in a "who knows when or IF they will release" state by Bandai America.

After the first few Legacy girl figures and the Ninja Steel girls did not sell well, they decided to "cut back" on the female releases
and only ship cases of male figures until they decide what to do with the girls moving forward.

So yeah, Auto-Morphin' Kim may or may not make it out by Spring 2018.

I remember owning those head flippers. I'm kinda sad I'm no longer interested in any of the PR merch anymore. Once I get Tor, I think I'm done.

 

[Shawpaw]

Had the movie done better, I think we'd be getting a lot more cool stuff. Unfortunately, Execs think MMPR doesn't sell anymore.

I'm still going to get dragonzord from SOC.

Yea, I loved those head flippers when I was a kid. Always was sad that they stopped making them when PR-In Space came out.

Was always hoping that they would make figures like the variant covers of the Boom comics series. Good articulation with nice accessories and less exaggerated proportions like the Legacy line.

I'd gladly pay $20 each for all of these.

 

[Shawpaw]

I’d buy a couple of those Boom! Figures

Totally agree.

And what Boom is doing (and has been) in the comics right now is something really special. Definitely a highlight for me as a PR fan.

 

[Shawpaw]

I hope someone like Netflix makes a mmpr show and then uses the boom story as backstory.

Ugh. Would love that.

 

[ShadowX81]

Exactly. All this pressure from Saban to make a reboot this year and we ended up with something terrible that didn't resemble the show at all; meanwhile Boom comics is doing it perfectly. Developing the mythos and characters while still keeping the spirit of the original show.



A few years ago I rewrote the series from MMPR through SPACE (substituted Time Force in place of Turbo) as a dare from someone who bet me that Power Rangers couldn't be taken seriously. Turned out pretty good too. I just think its crazy to think that heroes like Batman, Spider-Man, and Captain America can be taken seriously and made into a quality adaptation but Power Rangers can't.

 

[Snake Plissken]

I really believe some things changed within the film we got could of made it great. Make the suits have at least the same color pattern that the show did. White gloves, white boots with the diamonds on them. Give all the Rangers personal weapons. Rework the entire Megazord design. And the final battle should of been longer and more reminiscent of the show battles.

 

[ShadowX81]

Not to mention have them keep their helmets on for more than 10 seconds at a time, brighten up the look and tone, have them get their powers much earlier, and most of all, return that sense of optimism the show had. The rangers were role models for kids to look up to. The movie made them all a-holes.
