Legacy Ninja Megazord, Movie or Television?
 

Had myself a question. Let me start by saying I do not know if Bandai of America are making a Legacy Ninja Megazord, I think we all hope they will eventually. But let's, for a moment, say they are. I was curious to know how many people want the Movie Ape Zord (Which was an animal) or the Show Ape Zord (Which was more of a warrior). So... which version do you go bananas for?

Show.
The more accurate to the show, the better.

I'm rather torn.

Not too terribly long ago, someone made a custom version of the Movie Ninja Megazord. It was absolutely stunning and looked faithful to Movie. Given that the movie had its recent anniversary and true Movie Version Rangers were released, I think it's time for a Legacy Movie Megazord that follows the (bad looking, but nostalgic) CGI many saw back in the day. If one could time it in a manner that coincides with an anniversary release of said movie, then the marketing alone would be driven by fan desire and sell itself.

Check out that aforementioned custom and decide if the look reignites passion in the Movie.

Oh god, TV all of the way. There is no reason to give us that badly done CGI'd model that looks terrible, especially in the face. Not to mention it just wouldn't work in toy form if it were to combine.

Movie please.

I can understand why people would want the movie version, but I think the TV version would look better in the Legacy line. Think if all the chrome were die cast (I know they wouldn't do that) or that silver plastic the Megaword's sword is made of. That could be the entire thing.

I think if Retrofire was still a thing, they could do a good job with the Movie version.



but really, I'd rather have a Legacy Shogun Megazord with proper arm color. :P

"Why not both?"

Seriously, we are talking Bandai America, they could release the TV version, then remold what needs remolding, and release the Movie version. Boom, done, sold, take all the money.

Exactly. Or even not the whole Megazord. They could just release the TV version together with the Megazord, and then release a Legacy Movie Ape Zord separately.

You know, I was watching my Season 3 DVDs today and I just realized that when they form the Shogun Ultrazord with Titanus, he has the pink arm. :lol

That makes sense. Actually it seems rather perfect.

The individual zords look better than the tv versions.

Because they filmed the toys for those scenes. I think MMPRToys actually recreated that in a video before. Not sure which one though.

Television Ninja Megazord for sure. The movie version was just plain weird. Although it would be a horrible decision to make a legacy version, I would be interested to see how it turns out. It could be a possibility also since they made the legacy white ranger morpher from the movie.

This. Would be the only way I'd be truly interested in getting it tbh.

Yes, but they wouldn't work out in toy form because they couldn't combine like they did in the movie.

Nevertheless, personally, I only want show versions because I want figures that are accurate to Kakuranger. The movie version is clearly not accurate (not to mention the head is flat looking).

You realize the Legacy toy wouldn't look like the 90's CGI model right? It would just be an animal ape instead of a warrior ape.

Could not have said it better myself Uchi my man. I mean honestly, this is Bandai and they'll sell anything to make money... even if the movie version was a CG mess that should be forgotten along side the live action Scooby Doo. *shivers*

The Ninja Megazord was my first Power Rangers toy in 1995. the package had the movie art, this is the one i got. but i would rather have the TV art package.

if a legacy was released, i choose the TV version.

Then what would be the point of doing a movie version?

After careful consideration, I surmise that the TV version is the more logical choice do to its more accurate appearance and its obviously better transformation from five out of six Zords into one Megazord, it just makes more sense for multiple reasons.

It's been 20 years since I've seen the movies. Aside from the sword, how does the live action Ninja Megazord differ from the CGI?

Wow, the MMPR movie's CGI has aged teribaly....

But that's part of the charm! We love it BECAUSE it looks like absolute shit. :lol

Yeah, the CGI looks worse than Voltron The Third Dimension's.

Wow, that's worse than I remember

I think if they make the movie version, it will need to be able to have crotch-kneeing action to simulate the most important move from the movie.

It combined the same, the only true difference was Ape was an animal where as in the show Ape was a warrior.

Not strictly true.

The movie version has an additional abdomen section which is completely absent from the TV one, the eyes on the face are replaced with a clear window/visor and the movie version has working hands, whereas the TV version only had "power gloves" or whatever they were called.

Honestly they seem like two different Mega Zords
