And? That doesn't excuse the (requisite caution: my opinion) ridiculous proportions of these toys.

Typically as in inaccurate? I just don't get the point of toys like this that so clearly aren't good representations of who they're supposed to be.
Comic book art where characters roid out is one thing and that physique carries over to comic toys. The rangers are traditionally not big and beefy in show footage, so to make toys that are seems to be counter intuitive.

Love 'em or hate 'em, it's one's own call. Personally, I like what I see. They don't have the overtly-muscular features of past figures and Pink FINALLY gets an arrow. I know many have still-modern and classic Mighty Morphin' figures, but anytime they are released, the PR fandom takes notice and holds them to account for everything that came before them. I say make a move on them if one is lucky enough to even find them. I doubt this will be the dark hole the villain figures have been, but it might come close.

It's not that we don't love the figures. It's the damn pricing. (And personally I hate exclusives as a rule)

it's cool that they made all of them.. but by the end of the summer i'll have all of the figuarts versions.. so, i'll be happy with that over these lol.
at least their weapons are painted and not just molded in colored plastic.. i wonder if that'll make to retail.. or if they'll pull a tmnt and leave them unpainted. |

To be fair, the Armored Might line is using body pieces from the defunct Thundercats toy line.
It's a cost-saving measure where there's pieces already molded, don't have to cast new molds (save the head and any special pieces like boots/gloves/etc.). Wasn't that Bandai was like "LETS ROID THEM OUT!" as much as it was "WE CAN JUST USE THESE THAT WE HAVE LYING AROUND!"

If it weren't for S.H. Figuarts, these might be okay substitutes.
I wonder how the weapons scale with Figuarts. AT least the blasters and Billy's staff.
