Holy crap, they still can't get Zack's likeness right. Do they have the rights to his likeness?

All the Zacks in general from Hasbro. I had the one with the braids and it looks nothing like the guy. Is he a hard likeness to nail? I feel like some of the JDF's were a bit off too for some reason.

Anyone heard anything about the normal Megazord from Super that was supposed to be out? (Or soon, but I think was og scheduled for last month.) I saw they are doing the Halloween one, when we still don't have the normal one, lol.

Was gifted the Mighty Minotaur and absolutely love it despite my very minimal knowledge of Power Rangers. I really dig this figure.

Patiently waiting for pics of the Lighting Collection Zed in a Super7 throne chair. The Super7 store near me has it in stock, but want to see how it scales before I drop the $ on it.

At Burlington tonight I found the PR/TMNT 2packs, Raph/Tommy and Leo/Donnie. I even stood in the ghaastly, borderline-hell of a checkout line for them.

Combined with the terrible layoffs news out of Hasbro. Wonder if the company is transitioning to a full licensor model with some of its properties? http://instagram.com/p/C0wgp_BM2te

This is the first step to Hasbro off-loading its collector lines to McFarlane.
I love how they are trying to rationalize these Page Punchers. "They have comics kids can read!!". "They have toys kids and collectors alike will love". "They are a great value!!" Maybe at $15, but not at $20.

I found Dino Charge Blue last night at Ross. One less thing on my Amazon list.
I opened my DC Blue this afternoon. He has really loose hips? Is it supposed to be like that? Are these the "drop down" hips that some people have complained about? Thinking about going back to Ross and getting another one.

Today at Burlington, I found 3 LC WF Blue figures. All of them with beat up boxes. I'm an opener, so it did not completely bother me. Picked up one. And the checkout line actually wasn't complete hell today!!!

Hasbro and Playmates Toys Enter Into [Strategic] Relationship to Produce & Distribute Power Rangers Products Globally Starting in 2025 toynewsi.com/278-52465Playmates will be making PR toys starting next year. The Fanboy Possibilities: A weird TMNT/PR crossover line. Playmates also holds the Godzilla license. If Playmates can do with PR what they do with TMNT, we are in for a good time. We could see a resurgence of toys akin to 93/94, or at least 2010.

It’s really frustrating Hasbro never did Bulk and Skull. I wanted Squatt, Baboo, and Ivan Ooze all badly, as well. To quote Michael Hayes, “you can’t be half pregnant.” Hasbro never fully committed to Power Rangers. Same as Indy and Ghostbusters. They wanted the notoriety and fandom of these brands but they didn’t want to spend money doing right by them.
Playmates is great for $10 kids toys but they haven’t made quality figures in two decades. I have absolutely no expectations I’ll want anything they make.

Playmates is great for $10 kids toys but they haven’t made quality figures in two decades. I have absolutely no expectations I’ll want anything they make. I am the exact opposite. I want the "$10 kids toys". I collect the toys. I only passively pick up "collector" figures if I can find them at a good price. And quality is an interesting word. Are they Neca? No. But I have never had a Playmates figure break in or recently out of the package before. Most of their stuff is really solid. I realized I am more excited for PR to be at Playmates than I ever was PR at Hasbro.

Playmates is great for $10 kids toys but they haven’t made quality figures in two decades. I have absolutely no expectations I’ll want anything they make. I judge quality on price point coupled with ability to fall off of a shelf and not shatter into 100 pieces. NECA makes the worst of both worlds. Playmates, specifically Ninja Turtles, are rough-&-tumble toys with fun elements, bright colors and affordability. While I would have 100% preferred that Bandai just get the license back so we can go back to having fun, affordable toys, I am more than willing to give Playmates the benefit of the doubt until they prove me wrong. And, for God's sakes, I want full Megazords for less than $40 again. Hasbro's strategy was bunk and I won't miss them...even as a Lightning Collection completist.

Was hoping for more of the Monsters from the Lightning Collection especially Slippery Shark. Bulk Skull, They did do Scorpina which was a major want of mine. Baboo and Squat would have been nice to finish Ritas main crew.
Hopefully the bring back the lightning collection and playmates handles the kids line.
It looks like the crossover line properties are going to be around
