SRP $16.99 (each sold separately)

HA! There are 21 points of articulation not 20! Feet, shins, knees, thighs, hips, stomach, chest, head, shoulders, upper arms, elbos, for arms and wrists.

Check out the Toy section in the Forums, I did a picture review and video review of the Megaforce Ultra Armored Red Ranger.

Where the hell is the Green ranger? WTF BoA?

Call me when the White Ranger figure reaches retail. I was expecting him in the first wave, but all that's being shipped out are the Megaforce Red and Blue Rangers and the MMPR Red Ranger.

I imagine he's in the works for a later wave. Only new tooling they would need to do for him would be the helmet. Everything else is covered already with Red.

My question is why the **** does anyone care when we know there's a Figuarts coming?

...because these are 6" scale and can mix with my Marvel Legends/Thundercats/DCUC figures

Look at your sig and you will discover the answer.

And what Shin said. Not to mention the surprising amount of accessories. These figures if nothing else look like a lot of fun.

and figuarts aren't 6 inch scale?

5.5". It may not seem like much on paper but in person it makes a significant difference.

1) Figuarts look just fine with all those lines. Yeah, the Figuarts are a bit smaller, but given the mass difference between characters it's understandable. Also, the Super Legends exist. White and Green can look Classics Lion-O in the eyes.
2) I never complained these are muscle bound. My complaint is their proportions are terrible. The top of torso is to wide compared to the bottom and the arms. It throws everything off wether muscle bound or not. The armor only makes it worse.

Because $16.99 is cheaper than $35+Shipping.
Also, considering how much people cared about the scale of the Dragon Knight Figmas vs. Figuarts, size difference does play a factor, it seems.

Here's a comparison. Low quality but, shows differences:

Maybe to you they look just fine but to me they look just wrong. Also Super Legends are nowhere near as fun to me, I think they look ugly and their articulation leaves a lot to be desired.

Surely does make a difference but WOW..didn't realize it was that bad!

Yeah, I'm basically gonna get these for the cards.

It's pretty sad when Matrixbeast is making the only decent point (the price)

No, it doesn't show the difference. At least not well. You took that at a downward angle. It screws up the prepective.

Now, the point made was that Figuarts can not fit in with Marvel Legends/ThunderCats/DCUC. I do not own an Armor Might figure, but I do own a Lion-O that Armor Might borrowed parts from so I'll be using that.

Here's a picture with ML Spider-Man, SL White Ranger, SHF Gokai Red, and Classics Lion-O. I tried my best to get a level image. It's not perfect, but they are all standing as straight as a I can get them and all touching the wall to give the best comparison in size.

Are these lines made on different scales? Yes. Is it a significant difference? Not unless you're really anal about it. The biggest difference is not the scale, but the (for lack of a better word) "beefness" of the characters. Rangers aren't "beefy," while most comic super heroes are.

Oh, wow. Completely missed people complaining about the heights. I was thinking of the incessant moaning on Rangerboard of the beefiness when I posted that picture.

Still see almost no reason to compare them to figuarts, other than the articulation. They have different target demographics, economies and markets from figuarts depending on if you buy Shinkenred/gold or import any other. The items themselves have different goals. It's like comparing oranges and grapefruits. They look similar, but serve much different purposes.

I'm going restate my original question to make this clear.

"why the does any ADULT COLLECTOR (no other "demographic") want these when we know there's a much better toy coming aimed directly at the adult collectors? Price difference aside, what is the appeal of these figures?"

I can't speak for others, but I honestly don't consider figuarts better. Even though they are roided up, these look much better to me.

For one, they are required to collect the cards. Second, I wasn't considering myself as having specific needs as a toy collector. I just like them and the muscles do not bother me. I just think they are neat as figuart lites with the pieces to customize. Just because you want tp pick apart reasons you don't like it doesn't mean others don't. I'll likely end up owning these and the figuarta. Besides, isn't mmpr red the only confirmed?

Tyrannoranger and Dragonranger have both been seen at toy shows...

Bandai makes figures and displays them all the time.
That doesn't mean they'll see a release, or else I'd be holding a Kurojishi Rio.

I didn't say they were going to be released. I just said that they exist in some quantity. Neither of them have any sort of confirmation outside of self-assured fan-speculation.

You don't have to be real anal to see that the figures don't fit. Again, maybe it's okay for you, but it doesn't work for me nor does it look right to me.

It's because they look fun and again, and are in 6" scale. Half an inch may not seem like much but it does make a difference. Figuarts look like pre-teens amongst 6" scale figures.

I don't understand your plight. Considering Super Senshi and comic book characters aren't supposed to exist in the same universe together, I'd say they look relatively good side-by-side.

That's what I'm seeing it as too... They never were together, so I'm not concerned that they don't look like they should belong together.

I understand some do. And they can. I just don't either.

For the price, these are freaking fantastic figures. No doubts about that. I just am turned off by the exaggerated musculature.

Well for me I am buying both Figuarts and these Armored Might figures. I don't mind having multiple versions/toys of the same character(s), I think it's cool to see how they differ.
