Please excuse anything stupid I'm about to say, I'm not AT ALL familiar with this gen of Sentai (is that the term I'm looking for?...whatever the Japanese equivalent of Power Rangers is called). Definitely interesting designs, and the detail put into these particular figures is really nice. I imagine these are rather expensive (is that actual fabric I see?), and definitely not something BoA would ever bring over here. While I like the designs, I do have to admit that I have a hard time seeing them brought over for Power Rangers some day...parent's might not approve of the look of the yellow and blue suits...

Akibaranger is more of a grown-ups show. It's an officially sanctioned spoof of sentai created by Toei with products by Bandai. However it was so commercially and critically successful that products continue to be made of it. Even though it was only 13 episodes long! There won't be a US equivalent of this one as it's not really intended for children. It takes place in the "real world" in that Sentai is a franchise in the characters world. However their world has some suprises to it as well concerning sentai.
Just out of curiosity, does anybody have an idea of what these "Perfect Model" things should cost via online retailers?

Probably gonna be 100-150. I think I remember seeing somewhere that these things will initially reatil in the 12000 yen range.

Wild Tiger was about 250$, but that was because he had LEDs and stuff…since it doesn't look like the Akibarangers have anything of the sort, I don't think they'll cost nearly as much…still they'll be pretty pricey no doubt about that.

If Toei won't make the Akibaranger official, even though they rock out loud, I'm turning my back on Sentai (the series, not the mod) forever.
I don't have a Mobiates and I want those Ranger Keys. That's how awesome the Akibarangers are. |

I'm really hoping that those ranger keys aren't just a Bandai joke. I really really want them. I'm hoping this influx of new products means another season might be on the way too. That is if we aren't being epicly trolled by Bandai
