They made the GB visor or beast-x visor a prominant upgrade in the show and showcased its functions in the Beast-x mode reveal episode, and throughout the 2nd season. No toy was ever released, but it was molded onto the beast-x mode figures. Its sounds were relegated to the Beast-x morpher, which was just a glorified remote for the Beast-x king zord in-show. Ok.
They showed the GB camera blaster and its combination with the Beast-x saber in-show. Only released a roleplay toy for the saber with added shooting sounds, no blaster ever released. However, the basic figures all came with a representations of the camera blaster, beast-x saber, and the combined form.
The gold and silver rangers striker saber never had a toy released for it, and their morpher was turned into less than decent nerf gun, no electronic striker morpher ever released.
And echoing what others have said, no sight of the beast- x king zord.
For a company that said they would elevate the brand and "unlock" its potential, they've done a pretty poor job capitalizing on the sentai footage as well as distribution. Only place with all the zords is Amazon with the giftset. Say what you will about BOA, but at least they gave you roleplay versions of every changer and upgrade you saw on tv, and their distribution wasn't too bad.
However, with Dino Fury, although the megazord looks fantastic and blows DX Kishiryujin out of the water, its still a prototype.I fear that by the production phase, Hasbro will have gutted as much plastic as possible to "cut costs", leaving a hollow and gappy mess to hit the shelves. Pretty much what they've done with Transformers Siege and Earthrise (excellent engineering, but gappy, riddled with qc, and use lackluster plastic, along with a premium price).
The morpher looks like a step back from BOA as well. BOA gave us painted functioning ranger keys, even if they were puny, and dino chargers as functional as the kyoryuger beast batteries. Dino steels take on ryusouls takes away everything interesting about the ryusouls, from their molded detail, to their flip out gimmick, and replaces it with a cheap plastic silhouette of an open ryusoul and slaps a sticker on it. Woopdeedoo. The morpher itself looks the part, but sounds and jingles leave a lot to be desired. Farts sounds dont seem like a good sales gimmick when it comes to a brand like power rangers. I mean BOA aren't saints either, they made those garbage ninja stars for ninja steel, but prior to that the roleplay stuff wasn't too bad and we still got everything seen in-show as a similarly functioning toy.
The Dino Fury basic figures come with less than the beast morphers figures do, and dont even seem to include their ryusoul kens', opting instead for inaccurate toy-exclusive weapons. They create new sublines for dino fury when they already have trouble distributing the established ones. Pretty much nothing aside from lightning collection has shown their dedication to the brand, and even that is riddled with numerous paint errors, inconsistencies, and qc issues. It just looks like they care about their home grown brands a lot more than power rangers, and its pretty evident with their advertising.
I really hope im wrong about hasbro, and they fix distribution, along with having roleplay weapons for at least what they show on tv and the megazord not being hollowed out trash. The morphers are what they are, hopefully they're better the following season.
