I had a much better written post that keeps getting denied. It keeps saying there are either bad words or too many links (there are none in either case?!?!?

While I know that Megazords are a popular idea for Build a Figures, it would have been cool if they went a different route with that, and by that I mean Monsters, like the MMPR guys have parts for Goldar and stuff, that would have been cool, and you'd have a villain to pose them against.
Ultimately Megazords are a terrible build a figure because they don't contribute anything to the 6.5 inch line. They're not in scale with the Rangers, and there's no 6.5 inch monsters for them to fight, so what's the point? What good does having a 6.5 inch Megazord to go with my 6.5 inch Rangers do me? Alpha is a step in the right direction, though it's a shame it couldn't have been Dark Specter. It's also probably too little too late given how fed up people are with this line. |

I was planning to get all of Zeo and Dino Thunder, but this move could be a total deal-breaker. I'll hold out hope that that one photo is somehow not representative, or that it's not as bad as it looks, but it could literally be the difference between Bandai getting >£200 of my money and them getting sweet FA.
It almost feels like they're trying to fumble the ball at this point. Blaming fans for their own failure to do market research, releasing metallic figures and standalone zords that no one seems to have wanted, refusing to confirm the Shogun Megazord that lots of people definitely want (and now announcing Astro Megazord instead, I read), lack of articulation on the Movie legacy figures, constant quality issues... I bought the con-exclusive Fighting Spirit set last month and found not-insignificant quality issues on two of the three figures, so they can't even get the special releases right. I'm in the minority that is actually into the build-a-megazord (though on balance I would prefer weapons but WHY NOT BOTH, BANDAI??), but the choice to not paint ZeoGold will persuade me to stop collecting, for sure. It's a real shame. |

I feel like I need a picture of an Alpha 5 flipping a table.
I feel like all of this is accurate. And sad.

When they IMO screwed up Red Rangers helmet in the first wave I figured, well alright.. Then rereleasing them in metallics with their weapons.. annoyed. Then more issues, QC problems, and now this. Nah, I'm good Bandai America, I'm done. First Bandai Japan cuts Sentai, and then you add insult to injury. Fool me once, fool me twice, not even going for round three.

The Legacy Megazords and weapons/morphers started to irritate me with their ever increasing price tags given BoA's mentality of "they'll buy anything and we can set the price to whatever we want". (Where the hell is the Shogun Megazord!?)
However, it's when BoA first announced the Legacy Ranger figures...I thought maybe they were turning around. I thought they were going to have them resemble the S.H. Figuarts Super Sentai/Power Ranger figures in scale, poseability, and accessories, which is how I wanted to see Power Rangers done as. You know, looking like the source material. Instead, we got oversized, roided out figures...AGAIN. And they were claimed to be "for collectors". Well, I think most collectors wanted non-roided out Rangers, BoA. So were they really for collectors...or were you assuming kids would get their parents to shell out $20 a figure like Marvel Legends that badly? Whatever the case, I supported the line briefly through the first waves, buying the MMPR figures. But when they announced re-releases of the same figures but NOW coming with their weapons rather than the "nobody asked for" B-A-F- Megazords... I was angry and finally said "F-Power Ranger toys". Seeing how the Zeo Gold Ranger as well as the rest of the new Legacy line is going...yeah, glad I decided that. Good riddance I say. I have that amazing Gold Ranger figure released in the Jungle Fury line years back for my Gold Ranger figure.

MMPRToy is not the spokes person for Bandai. That being said did you even see the video where They point blanked asked about the paint on the figures and it was explained how that works as far as pricing and everything? It seems to me you didn't see the info or the fact the guy told MMPRToys that they should be able to make it look like the prototype..... Their rep in the video seems to be the one that mislead everyone about who this fig was going to look in the end Not MMPRToys. It also seems to me everyone wants a $200+ figure with every bell, whistle, paint, and weapon for a $20 price point....... If you don't like it don't buy it. If I can find it I will buy it and fix the paint because I like a challenge and Understand that every single paint detail they do on these figs cost quite a bit of money. Was the rep wrong for stating what he did? HELL YES, but to throw MMPRToys under the bus because the rep gave bad info is Ridiculous!

It's likely because you need 10 posts, due to an anti-spam measure.

People shouldn't have to paint collectors figures to make them accurate. And they certainly shouldn't have to just to make them the right colour. These aren't model kits. And even if they were Bandai's trademark shade of puke gold wouldn't look better than this figure does.
