One thing I think alot of these figures could definitely benefit from are "Deluxe Versions" that certain Marvel Legends figures sometimes get. Somewhat higher pricepoint($30-40) for better paint and alot more accessories. But yeah, it's clear this wave is particular is meant to help save money on the budget, which I imagine more went towards the recent Exclusives like Drakkon Evo III. Hopefully things will pick back up again with the next Wave.

I consider this a good wave, I didn't get the fighting spirit set or armoured black so the regular figures are great as well as the other two (I didnt collect legacy either) and I'm very hopeful that this means we pump the breaks on the MMPR stuff

This looks like a good wave to me, hope they do the 90's movie suits next since they're done with the core team from mighty morphin, Ecliptor and Darkonda would be excellent additions too for waves 7 and beyond, do hope we see some Turbo Rangers here too, maybe have TJ and the rest of the mid season replacements as mainline, and Tommy's team as a team pack exclusive (since then I could just ignore the exclusive pack and grab the retail), those would be awesome in this line

If they are going to have to save some pennies. The first thing to do is not bite off more then they can chew.
DC Gold and Drakkon in the same wave? DC Gold should have been say DC Black so it would have been a simple head swap. Wave 4 - Nix blaze so Zeo Blue could have his tonfas. Heck DC Green would have been solid or BM Silver. They seemed to wise up with the last wave. What bothers me more about DT White is that it's an exclusive. They horribly screwed up an exclusive. I do think the limitations of this body are causing some addition issues. The Gi Joe Snake Eyes/Red Ninja bodies would be superior. They could lose a paint app for example with a new neck. They may need to bite the bullet and adopt a new ball joint that makes other figures compatible because this super large ball joint doesn't work with swappable heads. |

Not a huge surprise that the Power Ranger line is full of Power Rangers.
If Power Rangers was just the one or two teams I'd think they focus on the baddies more. But it's not. There are loads of comments asking for this and that ranger. So yeah Hasbro is going to focus on the various rangers as a priority. But we do have like what 25 teams and 5-6 members. Though you are ignoring Goldar/Rita/Psychos/Blaze/Drakkon. The line in a quarter through year 2. The QC issues are no excuse but this line is still a toddler. I want unique looking monsters, like Goldar. Hasbro does some great work with Marvel Legends figures like Sugarman, Abomination, Monster Venmon, Sauron, etc. A Power Rangers display of just rangers and evil rangers is boring. Even the Putties, which I like, are just the basic MMPR body in gray. I am happy to have them, but really want to see some more off the wall monster designs like Rito, Pudgy Pig, Pumpkin Rapper, etc. Last edited by MWoO; 08-09-2020 at 03:37 PM.. |

Wave 6 has finally gotten official images, and there's a few pretty decent surprises in there:-
- Biggest one right of the bat is that we're NOT getting MMPR Green this wave - we're instead getting Goldar! It's a wingless variant it looks like and I can't tell because I'm about to jet off to work but he seems like he's got some other colour variations too. - In Space Yellow comes with both her gun and her signature slingshot weapon! That bodes pretty well for the rest of the In Space Rangers, aside from just being great news on its own. - Zeo Red actually comes with his own signature sword in addition to the generic Zeo one and the blaster! Bit of a surprise after Zeo Blue, probably because it's one weapon instead of two like Blue's tonfas? Might be able to expect Green's axe and Pink's shield at this rate. Though it does make me wish they just included two tonfas with Blue instead of the sword if they can do 3 weapon pieces for the Zeo rangers. - MMPR Black's headsculpt is, uh, oh dear. That's not very good, is it

It's also making me think that MMPR Green is yet another exclusive they messed up on. Quote:

Makes me wonder if the upcoming stream is just gonna be about these figures or if they have another surprise in store for us.
