The heads I never really care about beyond their being in place of more important stuff; I’m much more concerned about the baby blue on the weapons.

So the official reveals from today look pretty good to me.
I love the Z-Putty and that it still has the chest blast effect. When I saw the one from the two pack I noticed it had a circular indent so I figured it would be compatible with a Z-Putty, but each one having it's own is great. Season 1 Green Ranger looks great. The Tommy head is spot on and the most accurate MMPR head yet I think. They kept the butterfly joints white so I guess the figure will at least look like it has white diamonds when the shield is on. Seems like they were going back and forth as to whether they would do the diamonds or not and maybe settled for a compromise that I am ok with. Overall, I am happy with the figure. Red Dino Thunder looks good. Comes with 3 weapons and I think the head sculpt isn't too bad either. The effect looks good too. Can't really complain about a figure that has 3 weapons, a 2nd head, and an effect. They didn't actually talk about the White MMPR refresh, so we don't really know if he will be packed with wave 7 or his own thing. When they started the Metallic Armor video I was convinced we were getting Metallic Tommy, but was surprised it was Kat. Tommy was only shown with the Target Exclusive stuff, which I am SO happy is just a packaging variant. Oh, and I am SO HAPPY that the monster line rumor was true. They look great and I don't think I could ask for anything else from them. Pumpkin Rapper having pumpkin heads that fit onto the LC figure bodies? So good. Being able to making Pumpkin Putties for a display is great. I hope these reveals quell some of the hate this line had gotten. Based on what they said, it seems like they are finding their groove and won't be doing things as randomly as they did at the start. We already see that with the Zedd and Rita wedding pack, the monster line, and the new two packs. The Fighting Spirit and Putty two pack was really random, but these new ones make sense. |

Not gonna lie, including the mini pumpkins that you can headswap onto other figures make me really tempted to get Pumpkin Rapper, lol. If nothing else, I hope the "Monsters" line lasts long enough for me to have figures of my favorite two MOTW: Knasty Knight and Lizzinator.
Definitely getting a Z-Putty, and will most likely get Metallic Armor Black whenever that comes out. Still, it's a shame that the final figure of Wave 7 is most likely is just a reissue of MMPR White with no changes. And with the line now costing $23 instead of the usual $20, I really hope that means we can expect more accessories and/or paint apps for future releases. But yeah, very happy with what we were shown overall!

I may actually buy some of those monster figures. I'm hoping for the venus fly trap and the eyeball monster moving forward, those were my favorites (I don't remember their names lol)

I;m not sure where this price increase news is coming from, but wave 7 was just put up on Hasbro Pulse and it's still 19.99. Snagged two Z-Putties (the limit) and the rest. Also looks like the White Ranger is a Target Exclusive in the new packaging for wave 7 as he is not listed elsewhere.
Oh, and they did not mention it anywhere but the Metallic Pink Ranger comes with a zeo crystal accessory. It is pictured here: At the bottom between the bow and the arrow, that is totally a Zeo Crystal piece. The head looks a bit better in this shot too. Makes sense since the Zeo Crystal was introduced in season 3 and the crystal was not seen in this form since the first episode of Zeo. I hope Metallic Tommy or Billy comes with the rock base to hold them all together. |

Curious to see how the Target exclusive stuff interacts with the part where my local Target stopped stocking PR toys.

Same. And atleast as of right now you can't order the Spectrum versions specifically via the Target website. Still, if I somehow happen to come across a Spectrum-packed Z-Putty n the wild, I'll grab it. I do like the design.

Goldar arrived today. So just like with Zedd I'mma make a comparison post between the current Goldar and original GameStop exclusive. Exclusive on the left, Mainline on the right:
I like that the new packaging has Goldar's' armor actually looking more golden, rather than orange. I just wish they'd kept the orange background. Ah well. In terms of actual differences between the figures themselves, well, first and most obvious is the new effect part. I really love the new red, energy-wave-like effect over the original purple lightning one. The sword itself isn't just the original but with gold paint added either. The new sword is actually a slightly different mold, which allows Goldar to have a better grip on it; Though it does come at the cost of some minor detailing on the handle itself going away, which I am perfectly okay with. And now less obviously, and the part that disappointed me the most; The added paint apps on the figure itself. They're barely there! You'll probably have to zoom in to even notice, but all they did was added random blotches all over bits of his armor, which is honestly more distracting to me then the gold being entirely unpainted ala the original. All they had to do was add a wash to bring out some of the nice sculpted detail(like the various slash marks and scratches on his suit), but nope! Random bits of bronze-ish paint all over his honeycomb bits. Also yes you can plug the wings from the original into the new one and vise-versa. Overall... I mean, I'm lucky enough to have both to where I can just make my ideal Goldar out of these, but I could really see people arguing either way over which one is overall better. That said, I have no idea how expensive the original Exclusive is now, so if you don't already have a Goldar and it's too expensive, then yeah, go for the new one. He's still an overall great figure either way. The only really issue is some of the paint apps. As for me, I'mma make my ideal Goldar and then give the other one to a friend.
