So it appears that the US MMPR Green and Red will ship at the same time instead of one month apart like they had originally thought.

If that's the zyuranger version, they are shipping now

Mine should be here next week

 

[LipSmack]

Well i have my red ranger en route, green should be here on thursday and i picked up the chogokin MMPR megazord from my LCS, overall pretty stoked

 

[kanine]

Where did you guys order from? I have them PO'ed on Amazon, no word on if they are going to ship earlier.

 

[Psycho]

Yes, they are giving you their best guess. All Bluefin says when you order is the month and that is it. Nobody ever gets specific release days.

Now it could be that Bluefin sticks to their guns and ships Green first followed by Red a month later, but from that pic they posted it appears in their Warehouse at least that both figures have arrived.

The Japanese versions have already hit in Asia, which is where I ordered.

The bluefin or MMPR version is the one that's lagging. It's the exact same thing minus the akibaranger parts, the MMPR version is a waste just for the different box. If I see it TRU, I'll grab it later.

For now I think the Zyuranger or Japanese version is the better deal.

Speaking of, got my tracking Tyranno should be here by either the middle or the end of this week.

Can't wait to have him posed with Dragon ranger!

It's better than what I had a kid but nowhere near the level of the Figuarts

Nope, just a different photo and cover art on the box.

 

[LipSmack]

Yay my Green Ranger is out for delivery!! this is going to be one long day at work ...

 

[Science Friction]

I got my Tyranno Ranger in the mail today.. pretty much perfect. A 10/10 figure easily, whereas I feel Dragon Ranger was more of a 9/10 (I have a few minor qualms over him). Excellent packout of option parts as well.. Tyranno Ranger display options = mind blown. lol.

 

[SpringLoaded]

What about him makes him better than Green in your eyes? Based on photos I'd say Green 10 and Red 9 because Green's shield covers those ugly shoulders.

Not directed at you exactly but what is the deal with people hating on the shoulder of these figs? have you guys seen the alternative figures that are offered? these things are lightyears ahead of those pieces of ****

 

[SpringLoaded]

They break up the diamond design on the torso which I think looks rather ugly. I don't think I've seen a single picture where the lines of the diamonds match up, even standing up straight with arms at sides. Yes these figures are obviously better than anything else that has ever been made, but I can't help but wish they did something different with the shoulders so the torso didn't look so messy.

 

[Science Friction]

The shoulders don't bother me at all, not a concern for me. I like action figures mechanical design. I appreciate the beauty of well blended function and form.

Anyway, I think Green's helmet has a couple of quirks. I think it could have been a bit sleeker, maybe longer. Just a tiny bit. It's tough, but from the proto pics it seem like it changed a minor amount. Also, the silver lining of his visor has that slight over lap above his mouth piece, Red doesn't have that. Maybe it's source accurate, or just me, but it's another minor point that detracts from Green. Third, the weakness of the flute hands. They just don't hold the flute well, the playing hand could have been tighter. That said these are all really minor things and overall don't really bother me much. I just find that Red was executed perfectly, whereas Green near perfect. I think both are phenomenal figures and extremely accurate to the source material overall.

 

[grymg]

I kind of like the tyranno gun rather than the dragon flute. . . I'm getting both in the mail sometime next week so I guess I'll decide once I have them in hand. I'll probably leave one in box.

 

[Chapter 2099]

Rumor has it that the Legacy Mask set has made its way into the TRU system. No info at any of the distribution centers though, so it's still a ways out. Price was noted at $29.99.

 

[SanShouXMA]

What mask set are you speaking of?
