So a very nice opinion piece, while I'm not entirely invested in the Power Rangers toyline like others are I can see why a lot of people are angered by this. But since this seems like a good thread, I should mention that, BoA has to be doing something wrong when I'm more of a fan of Power Rangers than say Star Wars or Marvel, yet their stuff tempts me to buy it more than Bandai's.
So let's have a bit of history with me and my strings towards the series, it starts in December 2013, got the Goesei Morpher or whatever they called it, for cheap because it was an after Christmas sale. For a Morpher it is surprisingly solid and the Power Ranger cards I had collected previously out of novelty had an actual purpose with this Morpher, that was cool. Skip forward for a bit, Super Megaforce as a line never interested me aside from the Standard Action Figures, and more so just the Silver Grunts and Prince Vekar, and I could never find them to army build with. And when they started to do the Red Rangers and Sixth Rangers, never had the money due to being in a rough spot at the time.
In fact, I never started caring about the main figures completely, until they announced with Dino Charge, they'd be releasing more than just the main General and Grunt, this is when I became more active. Got Fury, Wrench, Snide, and snagged a Lord Zedd when he was around because I love the villains, and they make nice set piece enemies for SH Figuarts and other figures of similar size. Same goes with Ninja Steel too, don't care about the Rangers, just the monsters, got the chainsaw weasel, cat, and bulldozer dude (Cannot remember their names), and then two grunts, I've been seeing them pop up at my Walmart more so I may just do some Army Building of those, at least four.
What I'm trying to say is, for a passing by consumer and collector like me, that is rarely into the line, when your standard sized figures are more appealing to me than your Legacy Line, and when the standard figures I get aren't even the rangers but monsters, your doing something wrong with the legacy line.
Like to be honest, what puts me off is just the size of the Legacy Figures, never was a fan of that size anyway even if I do have a Doctor Doom figure of that size but hey, I love Doctor Doom so that's why. Which is why I would totally get the Psycho Rangers if the line continued. It's just you know, I hope their done well....
... Because damn, ToysRus, let me tell you. I had a 20% off Coupon for about a month that expires tomorrow. I could get a Legacy Figure for cheap, and they even had a Ninja Storm Blue which I was interested in... but despite that prospect, and the fact that there were tons of other options (Mostly MMPR Movie and other shelf warmers), I didn't get any. Not even 20% compels me to just dip slightly into the line until I want to get serious.
I even forgot Gold Ranger was coming out and when I heard he did I was like, "Oh, maybe if they have him..." but the color issue is just a bit annoying to me to where I wouldn't purchase it even with the 20%. Seriously though if the line dies, it dies, I hadn't collected yet and had no interest to start seriously collecting until the Psychos got announced. If they don't make it to shelves? It'll be a sad day but I'll move on, and probably spend my money somewhere else.
Man that was a long ramble on toys, surprised I could type that much to be honest.
