Wow, what happened? I still have a couple Samurai minifigs and they looked great...Why the sudden design shift?

I wish they'd go the halo route and make them fully sculpted/posable. Those are some of the best minifigs around.

These are awful. I mean, this is the same company that does the Destiny sets. |

Which is so weird, like hands down the Halo and Destiny sets are some of my favorite building sets ever, it's almost hard to imagine that a company that makes those are churning out these.

But these make a tough arguement to the contrary. So sad. I guess PR is still mostly a "kids" thing to Mega. Or... Tinfoil hats on: I think Bandai probably dictates the quality of design for these. Like I said, if we got PR figures from Mega to he same quality as Halo or Destiny or the TMNT Classics, they'd outshine the real PR figs in sculpt and articulation. And that'd be pretty fucking embarassing. |

Honestly I'd prefer the old MB Ranger sets to these, the ones from Ninja Storm and Dino Thunder, those might have legit looked like Lego knockoffs but at least they looked like *good* lego knockoffs that had sculpted heads. I mean c'mob Zed looks like some kinda weird Ranger like that. |

Looks like the new sets are starting to show up in stores. Found them at a local TRU in Canada:
I have to say the packaging looks a bit boring to me. I actually though the front of the T-rex box was the back but it wasn't. lol. I only ended up getting a blind pack and molested the packs looking for the white ranger which is the really the only one I want from this set. A look at the front of the packaging: And succeeded! Looks like there are now more heads with helmet combinations. The head is just one piece and connects via a ball peg which adds some articulation. The body also came in one piece in the bag though the instructions show to attach the legs. The shoulders are now on a rotating hinge which also adds articulation which is nice but Saba doesn't look like Saba at all. Also, doesn't look like there is any secret figure this time around: At first I didn't think there were codes but after a closer inspection of the package when I got home, found there is a code stamped in black above the bar code. For reference, mine was A06096ES. Not sure if it'll help identify the figures like in the past though. |

Well that's... Something, I wonder how the heads fit on the Halo bodies, might be able to make some neat customs.
