I really doubt Bandai would import Shurikenjin and try to sell it for $50 to kids. The whole point of the show is to make kids buy the toys, and if the Ninja Star Megazord, or whatever it ends up being called, is too much for them, it defeats the point. The Otomonin are intended to be add-ons to the megazord, not the main focus of the toy line. That's why they appear for a couple of episodes when they first appear, and the leave. So kids pick up the cheaper toy while it's still in their mind. Making them too expensive nixes that market too. Add in the fact that Zord Builder has been running for 6 years now (7 if we count this years stuff), which makes an even better selling point to kids, who love creating and mixing-and-matching, there's little chance they'd remove it just to sell toys that are too expensive.
Bear in mind, this is all my speculation, and I really don't know too much about the market.

Get the Japanese Toys if you want no ZB and electronics. Kids love ZB, that's why we still have it on the BOA toys. |

The logo looks alright to me. It's not as striking as the Dino Charge one, but it does its job.
Now I don't care for the toys as much, but I am sure that they will continue on with zord builder. Its only connection ports guys, there is nothing wrong with that. |

Well, I hope it's less obnoxious than Ninninger's stuff. It's endless loud chanting and annoying music just for pressing a button was tortuous.
I hope they don't downsize the mechas. I don't like them, but they were one of the few mecha to intentionally add areas of articulation, and it would be a tragedy if they removed it. As for the logo, yup. That is a logo alright.

Well, that's about what I was expecting. Suitably katana-y and pointy. Now to see how they manage to cram "Super" on there somehow next year...

Bear in mind, this is all my speculation, and I really don't know too much about the market. $50 is the new $30, unfortunately. When basic 6" action figures are sold at mass retail for $19.99, you know the market has shifted. |

The series is about an intergalactic game show. So there's some element of space.
