I spent nearly three hours at the DMV this morning. Almost the whole time there, I was worried that someone was going to buy the Red Ranger from my Target. Thankfully he was still there. I also got the Blue female Ranger.

Saw just the Green Ranger today at target. I already have the figuarts so I am passing..but he still looked cool. Esp for retail..about time they released some quality power ranger figures mass retail wise. I might have been more interested in them if they were more in scale with other lines. They remind of of the playmates classic turtles way out of scale to display with other lines mainly DC and Marvel.

These new power rangers are so tempting!! Even the Pops are tempting. If I start a power rangers collection, I'm going to have to quit college and work full time. Beautiful pictures guys! I love the Green Ranger.

Has anyone seen the new movie action figures? They look pretty awesome. Who else thinks it's be hilarious to make everyone from the new movie except Rita Repulsa? It'd be the perfect homage to the original line of figures lol

got these Power Ranger POPs for my Bday, it is painful inside to not have Pink Ranger. Need to find a way to track one down.

Bluefin have just said they're going to be unveiling something at the Power Morphicon convention, and posted a pic of a MMPR medal with dinosaurs Some unmasked versions of the original rangers would be cool (with a helmet accessory to hold) or even totally non-costumed versions in their regular teenager outfits (though realistically that's pretty unlikely I guess). Or maybe some enemies (Rita, Zedd, putties, etc). I could see myself buying unmasked/teenager versions for sure, enemies are just a maybe though. But I'm guessing this will just end up being a rerelease of the original MMPR Figuarts (due to people complaining they're too expensive now) or maybe 1995 movie rangers. Or perhaps more 6-inch sized Zords. None of those ideas would interest me though. EDIT: Yeh it's Dinozords. They're shown separately but presumably they will connect. No mention of scale and nothing to compare them to, so who knows. Doubt they'll be bigger than 6 or 12 inches though. Kinda disappointing IMO. I'm sure the quality will be decent but unless they're significantly bigger in scale than the Legacy ones they won't interest me. They're branded as "Soul Of Chogokin". Means nothing to me but perhaps someone here knows about this particular brand and could elaborate what we can expect in terms of scale and quality. www.facebook.com/Tamashii.USA/photos/?tab=album&album_id=1249470725072090

Soul of Chogokin is their high end robot line. I'm not an expert, I only have one, but I think price and size usually depends on the robot. Usually they're between $250 - $300. I have Voltron on preorder and he is priced at $300.

I have Voltron on preorder and he is priced at $300. Thanks for the info. For comparison does anyone know what the RRP was of the Legacy Dino Megazord when it first arrived? I'm glad to hear Soul Of Chogokin is a high end line, if it's higher quality and more accurate than the Legacy version it will certainly get my interest. Though again if it's only gonna be 12" tall, for me that's just too small to make a good display with the Figuarts. It doesn't need to be accurate scale (which would be ridiculously impractical) but just significantly bigger than the figures. Like around 24" or something.

Ive not been into power rangers figures for awhile but I saw there were some MMPR figures on clearance at Walmart today for $7. Looked like Billy & Zach from the tv show and Kimberly from the movie. I guess they were 5inch figures? Just figured Id give the heads up if nobody knew.

the Legacy Red Ranger Power Sword that was shown at Morphicon is BEAUTIFUL and honestly 1 of the things I've wanted most, not just as an adult but since I was 5 years old, I honestly can't wait to own that. The Legacy Zeo figures are great news, Gold should be beautiful. I hope at least 1 of the 4 extra releases in the 2017 waves is In Space Silver Ranger to really complete the team. They should experiment with the idea of doing villains in the Legacy line per season, Rita, Zedd & Goldar would basically put me in the hospital from excitement. The other really good news about the Legacy line is the inclusion of all the Power Weapons getting made and released somehow. Apparently Bandai is toying with the idea of a weapons pack, it would be awesome if they managed to include 5 blade blasters as well. The Soul of Chogokin Megazord is so damn beautiful, I can't wait to see more details about it, the T-Rex zord is so awesome.

They should experiment with the idea of doing villains in the Legacy line per season, Rita, Zedd & Goldar would basically put me in the hospital from excitement. Right! I don't understand why BanDai has been so hesitant to make more than 2 villains per season! Now don't get me wrong, they made like 15 villains this year which is awesome! I pray they sell well. But it all started back in Power Rangers Lost Galaxy. They made two villains, after that is when the trend started. Each year it's like a foot soldier and one main villain made. It's sad cause they've passed on so many cool villains. Have any of you seen some of the unreleased villains for MMPR? I mean waaaay back to the originals. They nixed Rita, Scorpina, Mutitus and Witchblade. All of which were super cool figures. Plus Rita was ditched again in a 2 inch figure form. Power Rangers Zeo had a weak set of villains imo. No main villains were made and 2 were re-releases. As a kid, I wanted Mondo, Machina, Gasket and Archerina. I'm actually shocked they didn't make Gasket. I finally found a Japanese made Mondo, Machina and Sprocket a few years ago. Had to drop $150 on them though lol. Not to get too off topic but I remember being so ticked at the amount of Batman figures as compared to his villains. I just didn't understand why we needed sooooo many Batman action figures. But I can hand it to Kenner, they had a good set of villains. At least they made one of each. Ban Dai sort of wasted time on one off PR villains. I much rather have had a Rita, Scorpina and 5 inch Baboo and Squatt rather than Stag Beetle, Spidertron and Robogoat.

Im late, but finally found a Green Ranger and had to get one. Tommy was the best ranger. Id get the White one too probably. These are much better looking than the last ones they did and I missed the Figuarts.

Does anyone know if the legacy figures will be available in the UK? Also do we know if Soul Of Chogokin zord will combine?
