With all the money PR makes, they seriously couldn't have busted for at least full functionality?

It's not just Power Rangers. Bandai of America has been turning out shit products for years now. Look at the quality of the recent Thundercats toys. And the Ben10 toys are mostly garbage as well. From what I have heard BoA doesn't care. They see the english audience as nothing more than something to be milked for profit.

The US market is 10 times the size of the Japanese market so I understand removing electronics. That doesn't bother me. What does bother me is completely retooling these figures. As stated above, BoA doesn't care. Which makes me terrified for Gokaioh and GobusterOh.

I cant even begin to imagine how they'd handle Gobusters since its like the most complicated toy Super Sentai franchise has released in ages.

The Thundercats line was, by-and-large, pretty awesome. The larger scale figures were a huge step-up and even the 3-inch figures were a cut above usual Bandai standards of paint and articulation. Thundercats was the first time I ever thought BOA may, just maybe, be heading in a positive direction...

Fat lot of good that ended up being.

What did the Thundercats in?
Were the toys just not selling or something?

That's my guess. It really is a shame that the fate of a tv series (and an awesome one at that) can be decided over whether or not the toys are selling.

Combination lackluster toy sales (likely distribution since Canada never even got them) and Cartoon Network.

What did Cartoon Network do THIS time?
Jeez...

Did you watch the run of the Thundercats show. It was mostly pointless filler. Also, CN kept moving the show to different time slots AND the split up the season in block of four eps that aired every three months. They pretty much set it up to die.

I actually had to catch it on Youtube and etc because of the eclectic and constant time changes :lol
But I understand now...Shame. I enjoyed it.
