Can't wait to see pictures, man. Not familiar with the series, but they seem to be very detailed and come with quite a few accessories.
What scale do they come in? 6"?
Also, vonhooten: What the hell is near their feet, in the first picture? It looks like a miniature Zordon.

Awsome work vonhooten. I believe I've seen your custom work on RangerBoard when I've checked it out. Your custom Red Ranger is still one of the best customs I've ever seen. You gonna do the rest of the team?

The directions said to fill his chamber with water, I decided to add a little blue/green food coloring to it to make as screen accurate as possible. |

You gonna do the rest of the team? I would love to but I made the Red Ranger from a Super Legends Extreme Green ranger figure. I bought the first Green Ranger on-line, and the second one was a fluke I found at my TRU (the GR was really hard to find). They are since long gone and way too expensive to get on-line, just for me to take them apart. I really wish Bandai continued with that line but they always aim to disappoint. I have toyed around with the idea of making Ranger customs out of WWE Elite figures, or even some DCUC figures. In time I am sure I will have a complete team of MMPR customs. |

Here are some S.H. Figuarts customs for Zyuranger (MMPR) Have you seen the green ranger he made? The green ranger custom is awsome as well. Agreed about Bandai never failing to disapoint us. I loved the super legend figs, as the green, white, and gold ranger figs were great. Bandai should simply sell a super legends line on its own, as no doubt it would sell w/ all the different rangers they could make. Sadly the only super legends fig I was able to find at retail was gold. Couldn't find white or green to save my life and ebay prices are ridiculous. |

Sadly the only super legends fig I was able to find at retail was gold. Couldn't find white or green to save my life and ebay prices are ridiculous. Wow. Those SH Figuarts Zyuranger customs are amazing. I thought of doing these myself, but SHs are very expensive in cases of trial and error in customizing. I don't want to buy one, mess it up, then have to buy another one for the same custom. I think BoJ should eventually get to making all the Sentai in this form... especially Zyuranger... especially the Dragon Ranger. You are right Cordless, the Super Legends were great. In fact I thought the Jungle Fury mold design (which the SL came from) were really good. At that time I thought Bandai (or America) were finally stepping the the right direction. Those figures were just a few articulation points shy of being Marvel Legends Quality with the ball socket thigh swivles. The RPM figures came out and were good, but not as good. Then MMPR 2010 came out and that was a major upset. I didn't mind the 3 3/4" scale but the sculpts were horrible. The male Rangers had small heads and really big hands, especially the White Ranger. His sculpt was so bad that I even saw him and passed on him despite how rare he was. Rita is a crap figure too, she looks like a dollar store toy very insulting for those of us who were waiting to have a figure since 1993. Bandai must think that names alone sell figs, but they are dead wrong. Not everyone will buy crappy toys because it is the only ones to be had. I'd rather take my chances on customs. I really would like to see another company make PR figures, but we would have better luck seeing Ultimate Warrior wrestle at WM29. I am surprised you didn't find the other SLs. Granted they were only one per case, but I had a much easier time finding these than I do WWE Elites figures. I managed to get all of them except for PRNS Green normal mode w/vest (they made both versions of him) I even got doubles of MMPR Green and Lord Zedd to keep MOC. (I know, I know... I'm bragging... smite me if you feel the need to) I really think Bandai under estimates the Ranger fandom and it's collector worthiness. In 2010 they were sitting on a goldmine and they let it pass them by. They could have done much better for a "Classic" line. Heck they could have even gotten away with retolling the original molds for the old Zords, Morphers, and Weapons. I am too old to be buying role play items, but if they did this I would have been all over it like a pig in s*it. Sorry for the rant as I am a passionate PR fan. To me BoA is like WWE's Tag Team division, so much wasted opportunity. |

Yeah I didn't mind the 3 3/4" line in 2010, but the small heads and big hands on the males was a big disapointment. That and the lack of articulation considering the GI Joe and Marvel Universe figs were the same price but had more articulation. I still bought the 6 main rangers and a putty because I'm a huge fan, but it was a huge letdown considering how 6" MMPR figs would have sold like crazy. The only fig from that line I really loved was the yellow ranger, as the female proportions were pretty good and w/out a skirt, her legs could move and hold a bunch of poses. Still disapointed I could find white as I wanted to complete the ranger team. And the fact Bandai didn't release a morpher shows how stupid their design and marketing teams must be.
Yeah the SL line was a b**** for me to find. I live just outside of Chicago so you'd think it would have been easy to find em, but it wasn't. I think this is proof that Bandai does underestimate the number of people who want to collect PR toys. A 6" SL line would sell like crazy. Have about 5 or 6 figs for each wave w/ atleast one villian and the rest of the rangers each being from a different season, and it would sell. I'd buy every rangers from MMPR-PRTF, and probably Dino Thunder and SPD.

Hey, does anyone have a spare yellow ranger from the 2010 3inch classic line? I don't care if it's the basic or the fully poseable one. I'm just looking to complete my Ranger set. Send me a PM if you do, I have quite a bit to trade.

Here are some more customs.    If I wasn't terrible at everything ever, I would definitely give a custom a try. Not only do I suck, but they are a tad bit pricey to just mess up. UPDATE! Also not sure who knows this, but coming this September fromm Figuarts:  |

Figuarts MMPR megazord looks cool but I would have perfered a ranger instead. Hopefully if this sells well that'll mean we'll get the rangers.

From what I've gathered, they are doing a whole slew of Sentai figures for various seasons. The only thing is collecting all of them will be costly.

Just purchased Gokai Pink. Should be here in 2 weeks and collection will be complete! Keeping them all MOC and displayed on my multimedia shelf in the living room. They're so awesome. May open my extra silver though. Haven't decided yet.

Hey, I don't know if this thread is designated for this, but I have a ton of MMPR stuff (mostly figures, zords, etc) and some stuff from the subsequent series that I am looking to get rid of, all of which is in good shape. I have some pretty obscure stuff in addition to the main toyline. I'm not looking to turn a profit, I just want the stuff out of my house. To give you an idea of how much I own, I have two 2 x 1 x 2 containers filled to the brim with stuff.
I see a lot of you are into customizing, I know I definitely have some figures that would be useful for that as I own all the original rangers/villains.
I am a very reputable trader on her as I am a member of the Elite in the classifieds and have like 200-300 positive references.
If there's a particular item you're looking for...reply or send me a PM with a picture and I'll let you know if I have it. Seriously, even if something is a minor want, let me know I am more than happy to deal it to you (just want it out of my house)!
Thanks

If you have any old zords or morphers I'd be interested.

Since I got an extra Gokai Silver for free I opened him up.... ...and posed him like this for my amusement.  |
