Justin_Brett posted:Watching this and Samurai is depressing, because they're clearly trying to recapture the old shows, but just can't go it well at all. The weekly plots of the episodes were never as hokey as the plots we're getting from the Nickelodeon era. Well, except for maybe some of MMPR3 and Turbo. Samurai and Megaforce also have the worst red rangers ever.

Much better red ranger. And Noah always stands around like "I am definitely not hiding some massive muscles under this jacket." EDIT: OH MY GOD HE'S CLARK KENT

I guess TRU is honoring the  cheaper preorders on the Legacy Morpher from months ago, I got the email saying my order was being processed just a little while ago.

I got my Legacy Morpher today. It's great. The coins are all diecast and have some real heft to them, which I wasn't actually expecting. I thought just the plates on the morpher itself were diecast. The belt attachment makes it really easy to display too. Bonus points: It plays the MMPR theme when you hold down the button and the Communicator beeps when you turn it on.

Twelve by Pies posted:I figure I probably won't have much luck finding the Shinkenger toys, and I'm a bit too poor to afford them even if I could, so I checked out what Samurai stuff they had. I ended up picking up the Samurai Megazord and the lobster zord, since those were the only two that interested me. They also had the bull zord and the tiger zord, and a "Gigazord" figure that was just boring looking. I hate to say it, but chances are you could've gotten the actual Shinken-Oh at Toys R Us for probably what you paid for the Samurai Megazord and Claw zord. They released at as part of the special 20th anniversary line, and they'll be releasing Gosei Great sometime this year too.

There's no way GokaiOh will still have all its gimmicks and quality intact. Not a chance. I'm just hoping they do an import for it too so I can pick it up. By the way, you have to buy two of the bikes in order to make Gosei Grand because they decided they needed to be motorcycles for some reason instead of actually packaging them with the lion zord.

jivjov posted:I do love seeing the actors in the suits. One of my biggest disappointments as a child was learning that Jason David Frank (and the other Mighty Morphin guys) didn't do all of their own suit-work. Funfact: JDF actually did a lot of suit-work once he became the white ranger since they obviously didn't have any footage to go off of whenever he was around the Zyu suits.

JT Smiley posted:Carter was a badass? I never managed to sit through more than a handful of episodes before I just gave up on Lightspeed completely. To this day it's the only season I've skipped, because I hated it that much. And I've seen all of Operation Overdrive! Really the whole Lightspeed team was pretty badass. Carter was a quintessential Red Ranger though.

Liar Lyre posted:I'll probably leave my email or twitter and then relay details there, but for general stuff I'll post directly. For example, what kind of format would work best? My favorite idea at the moment is to review the series one episode at a time, five times a week. Of corse each week of content will be recorded ahead of time in one sitting. Besides that, we could have a new PR/Sentai related topic to talk about each week, have a general show with news and what's new (although No Pink Spandex already does a great job with that), or something else. If any of you guys have a suggestion, please say something because you'll be the ones listening. If you want to review one episode a day, you should be sure to keep it brief. No one wants to listen to reviews that run longer than watching the actual episode.

jivjov posted:And the zords were amazing. Super. Train. Megazord. That is all. Still the only carrierzord that's made of separate zords that carry their smaller counterparts, which is something that needs to come back. I think the last real carrierzord was the DekaBase/Delta Command Megazord. Everything since then has just been a vehicle for a megazord to ride. Mostly I just want more carrierzords goddammit.

Box of Bunnies posted:It's a disjointed cinematic appended to the end of Lords of Shadow's credits, yeah. It was all explained in the DLC and there's more to come in the sequel BUT ANYWAYS I think you get more out of Returns if you saw the series because GoBusters always had this seriousness to everything and constantly tried to subvert Sentai tropes, and Bestial Battery GoBusters is pure Sentai cheese that hit on every single trope they could. Also if we don't get a Black Puuuuuumaaaaaaaa Figurarts I'll be sad.

OZC posted:The Legacy one is identical to the 2010 mold, they just added the die-cast in place of some of the plastic, and gave it show accurate stickers/paint. It's still smaller than the 1993 Megazord, since all the modern US Megazord toys are smaller than the Japanese counterparts. To be more exact, basically almost all the gray bits and limbs on the megazord were replaced with diecast. It's only slightly smaller than the MMPR version and a bit sleeker with different types of connectors. The Dragonzord will probably be quite different too since the original is completely incompatible with the redesigned Megazord. Mostly I want to make the Legacy Dragonzord Warrior Mode so I can put my original back into Ultrazord formation until they release Legacy Titanus.

Burkion posted:And that's without realizing/considering that they're almost definitely going to combine the two the same way they're combining Gosei and Gokaiger. Why are we assuming that's the case? I thought they combined Goseiger and Gokaiger because Goseiger was too terrible to carry an entire season.

Burkion posted:This is assuming that Nick keeps them to the schedule they're forced to have. Which is also something to remember, Saban is not purposely only making 20 episodes a year-that's a mandate from Nick. I don't think so. Is Nick mandating them to stick to one series a year? If not, there's no reason they couldn't do GoBusters over two years and take full advantage of their budget over the two years. Especially because the source material would make it extremely easy thanks to the change from Messiah to Enter as the end boss. They could even do a special parody episode ala Dino Thunder using the Bestial Battery GoBusters special. EDIT: Hey look at all those new posts.

That's why their upgrade wasn't something big, unwieldy, and/or ridiculous like every Battlizer ever. Plus they were designed to be used every episode once they got them, so they had to be sleek and minimalistic.
