I hope they do other canon fodder now at least. My main wants there are Tengas, Cogs, Troobian/Blueheads/Orangeheads, and Moogers (so I have someone for my Shinkenger to fight).

That's probably why it's an exclusive. They'll release normal Green without the stripes at standard retail

It's specifically Fighting Spirit Tommy hence the silver stripes, silver morpher (Tommy's is gold normally) and a white holster on the wrong side. It's kind of impressive that they went so far out of their way to call out all those details. I'm guessing we'll see the Putty in wider single release later, they just wanted to hedge their bets on the mold by shipping it with A version of the most iconic and popular Ranger design. Also Jesus Hasbro are getting their money out of the MMPR Green Ranger. Both of the different Armored MMPR Rangers that weren't him, and now Fighting Spirit version. I wouldn't be surprised if they released a Non Dragon Shield variant as well at this point

I didn't really get the complaints people had about the Solar Ranger suit until I saw that helmet. I feel like the only part that works is the visor and the mouth piece. The rest of the costume seems fine at least.

Invalid Validation posted:I might have asked this before but is power rangers popular with kids? It’ll never be as big as it used to be in the early 90s, but it was also mishandled by several producers and written off until recently. So basically the same situation as Jurassic Park/World.

Box of Bunnies posted:I never really kept up with Beast Morphers after the first couple of episodes but I'd be lying if I said I won't be there for the ASJ return It’s honestly not that bad. No idea when it’s coming back to the US but new English episodes did start airing again in Australia a few weeks ago and can be found floating around online if you really care to look. If the trailer is anything to go by they appear to have finally dropped that weird practice of tacking on the word “Super” to the second half of a PR series at any rate.

Super weird to do that as a Beast Morphers episode, seeing as the Go-Busters got super sidelined in that movie, by virtue of it being a an All Dinos Reunion movie first, a Kyoryu movie second, and a Go-Bus movie a distant DISTANT 3rd.

But this is arguably their last chance at using any of this special as the other teams were part of the hideous “Neo-Saban” era that would rather throw away great events than spend any money on re-shoots. Daddy Hasbro has been willing to spend (at least in action re-shoots, non-costumed acting will probably never make union) and this special, like the Lightning Collection, is getting nerds back on board. Between Bandai of America being owned so hard by their Japanese branch and PR being so compromised by Saban/executive budgeting, we were reaching a point where “forget about Power Rangers, that’s kids poo poo, real fans watch and buy Sentai” went from a small niche of weeb weirdos to increasingly anyone over 20. That’s a problem if you want a line of Power Rangers figures that target adults with prices higher than what you’d buy a kid for their birthday.

AH Magna Defender is so perfect! He looks just like the suit and he doesn't come with Mike's stupid loving face! I can't tell if his cape is hard plastic or some kind of soft material but I don't care he's so good!

The history of cross over episodes in PR is bascially that they were all movies that had some of their footage reused for an episode that had nothing to do with the plot of the movie they cut footage from. It doesn't matter how prominent the original team is, just that there was scene they could pull from to pad out the run time.

Not always though, there are several PR crossovers that contain no Sentai footage at all. For example, Timeranger and Gaoranger never even got a crossover for whatever reason but their Power Rangers counterparts did.

Both casts perfectly interact with each other, and it feels like a proper episode instead of just fanservice. Taylor/Eric is basically a canon ship for the crossover, we have Ransik and Nadira fully joining the good guys and Ransik even hitting the end of his character arc, and just...god, it's just so well-written.

I could Big One in the comics. With a couple exceptions, Power Rangers still follows the “teenagers know everything / never trust anyone out of high school” that doesn’t allow the rangers to have kind of range that Sentai characters usually do.

So what's the deal with the new stuff at Go Go? Where are they? apparently the shattering of the grid caused random people to get PR powers without morphing?

I figure this is maybe the best thread for it (it'd probably get lost in TradGames), but I got my Kickstarter reward for the board game Heroes of the Grid. There's a ton of content and whatnot - probably too much, honestly, but I gave it a playthrough and it really felt like the show in a lot of ways. It's a cooperative game and your Power Rangers feel - well, really powerful. Putties spawn by the dozens but the only problem is their numbers. The monsters are a real threat (though it was funny fighting the Evil Green Ranger with Tommy and Jason w/ Dragon Shield), but if you use the power of teamwork then things are golden. We stomped Lord Zedd to death with the Megazord in the middle of the Juice Bar. It was a lot of fun! Has anyone else played this yet?

well so far we have Wave 1: 4 figures Wave 2: 4 Figures + 2 retail exclusive two packs + 2 retail exclusive single figures= 10 new figures total (12 if we also count the SDCC two pack) We might be getting some figures soon then we thought.
