They unfortunately only gave NinjaBlack closed fist hands, so I'll never even be able to attempt his signature pose... :(

We need splayed fingers, Hasbro!

I really would appreciate more alternate hands at some point. It's my biggest issue with pretty much every figure Hasbro puts out, actually -- Velocitron Override is sick as hell but she'd be even cooler with some extra hand parts! They're everything in expression!

If this is a legit offer I'd happily take the Blue Ranger off you.

We'll talk once I get them. Seriously. ;)

I'll take Yellow!

I'll be in touch in... ::checks notes::... uh, June. :lol

Deal! *marks calendar*

Been watching reviews of the latest LC figures to get released, and I gotta say, the Ryu Ranger actually introduces a new bit of articulation that I really appreciate. The line is finally doing something that the GI Joe line has been doing for years: Having a ball joint at the base of the neck which offers better movement. When it comes to head-to-neck connection though, sadly, Hasbro still hasn't actually implemented double-ball pegs properly. So while the neck articulation is better, it's still not optimal.

They also started implementing drop-down hips like the GI Joe line has, but given that they often lead to the hips being loose and with not much in the way of extra range, I really wish that they hadn't. They could offer some great high kick potential if done properly, but standard ball pegs hips can offer all the range you'd ever really need if the proper pivot points are chosen and with much less of a chance of the hips being loose.

Looking at the Alien Ranger promo pics more closely, it seems as though White is using this new articulation setup(you can see a very small gap at the base of her neck), while the rest of the team is reusing old parts, as evidenced by White being pinless but the rest of the team still having pins in their joints.

I'd be totally down for other Rangers getting put under the "deluxe" line like Blue Centurian if it meant more hand accessories and paint apps.

Rumors are going around that the next wave of LC that got leaked a few weeks back was confirmed to be legit at the same event that teased ZAP Tigerzord. For those that don't remember, that's Lost Galaxy Pink, Dino Thunder Black, SPD Yellow, and Dino Fury Blue.

Also allegedly there's gonna be a Tenga 2-Pack in the near future. And for anyone who wants mooks but didn't get the singular release of the Tengas, I highly recommend getting this 2-Pack if it ends up being legit, as I feel like the Tengas are hands down the best mook figures Hasbro has done to date.

I think they already confirmed most of that wave with silhouettes at Pulsecon or something, right? Only missing DF Blue. Cool to know he's coming too though! After how they handled Go-Busters it's nice to see them keep going with the latest show like this
