The first one in a while that I'll actually be off work for and it's the one that doesn't have LCs :lol

Hopefully we'll get to see what the orice is for the regular ZAP Megazord.

Will be sure to do a sum-up post like always! Interested to hear what they have to say about the Zords.

Saw an article on Twitter saying Dairanger is finally getting fully adapted in the comics after it was only partially adapted into MMPR season 2 (plus a couple cameos in Super Megaforce), so wonder if they’ll mention that at all during the stream

Fascinating, but it'll probably shoot my fan-canon all to hell! :lol

Preorders for the first Zord Ascension Project open today- price is $165!

How much?! Seems like a lot given Titan Transformers cost that much and they're two feet tall! Will definitely have to see what the GBP price is before making a decision though.

Probably about ?165

I mean, a lot of products aren't direct numerical conversions, so it could very well be around ?120-?140, though I'm not holding out hope.

Huh.

?150

Yeah, just checked and 150 at Pulse and 140 at IDToys, so I might go for it depending on finances next summer.

Sorry for being late on the sum up post; Some real world stuff came up so I had to miss out on seeing the FFF live.

• LC Red Ecliptor - Goes up for pre-order in a few months. Not just a red repaint either. Newly molded head and arms to better match the design.
• Zord Ascension Project - The Zords, and especially the combined Megazord form, are actually based on the initial concept art from Zyuranger, rather than the physical suits. Each Zord is 1/144 scale and has its own cockpit, so they scale with stuff like Gunpla. Unfortunately they have some parts-forming components, but they're minor and in some cases(like the Mastadon Shield) were part of the initial design anyway. They're also asking fans to demand which Zords they'd like to see next, and that includes Artillery Zords. This project is also going to expand on the lore of the Zords somehow?
• Boom Studios Panel - Talk about the currently going Eltarian War Saga. Going into detail on why they expanded on Zordon the way they did. Also talking about the upcoming "Power Rangers Universe" and how they plan to go into Phantom Ranger's' backstory.

"Red Ecliptor" would have been below 'literally any of the Alphas', 'Quantum Ranger', and 'SPD Red but with Sky and Bridge head' if you asked me what obscure red repaint we'd be getting, but it's cool I guess. In Space fans eating well.

It's Cheaper then the Chogokin Version. I'll give it that. Waiting for the Astro Megazord.

You'd call Quantum obscure?

Looks good. Definately interested in this and future releases

I've painted 1/144 human figures before. I'll do it again.

To the Abyss with the Dinozords, give me the building models used in the Press Photos/Promotional Shots instead! Those are beautiful!

Preordered. I cannot wait to see what other Megazords get the treatment. Hopefully something like SPD or something

That Megazord's not AS good as the Chogokin one, but I think it still looks good. Plus it'll be cheaper.

Red Ecliptor has the same kind of half-assed paint and detailing that I expect the Lightning Collection monsters (and some of the Rangers) to have. Fortunately, it's not the Ecliptor I want anyway.

I really like the look of the Megazord, but it feels a tad overpriced when you consider what Transformers has been able to accomplish at the same price point. The line looks very promising, though. Hopefully future releases have improvements to bring the value up.

I mean, given how we've had one Time Force release, it is from Hasbro's perspective!

(Real answer no, I just got confused between writing Quantum and obscure.)

Honestly, the megazord looks great, but for the price, the hollowness on the sabertooth tiger is dissapointing, and even more so with the ptera guns. I wish they wouldve tried to at least mold them in solid plastic. I get the legs are hidden in almost every mode, but still. For 165+ they couldve done better.

For me personally, i think the chest design is the biggest gripe. But hopefully its a removable piece and a 3p or fan makes a good replacment.

This is interesting but not sure if it's worth buying when I already have the Soul of Chogokin line. I hope we get a Shogun version of this that (far fetched) is able to be cross compatible with Bandai's Legacy Ninja Falconzord.
