I can't wait to see everyone here rage when its revealed that MMPR yellow has a female buck. Whatever the footage shows, the character is female. Every PR toy from every series with a gender-swapped yellow ranger from the sentai (at least once BoA hit a point of actually sculpting different bucks for females and males, so basically PRiS onward), PRLG, PRLS, PRTF, PRWF, has matched the character, which is female.

I don't want Trini with a male body just because that's what's in the footage, I want a Trini to be a female because she's female. If Tamashii makes a Tigerranger figure, then it should be a male sculpt.
But it IS going to be the male body:

Yes but the girl bodies, were from Bandai of America, we are talking Tamashii Nations and Bandai of Japan, they will make a MALE body for Tigerranger. I do not see any way that they will make a completely new mold for a female version just to have a MMPR be girl for the stateside relase, have they made new stuff for US and not Japan before? No. Will they? I dont think so. So even if they do, Ill be gettin the ineviteble Exclusive Tigerranger, instead of the US MMPR version.

The Zyuranger figure will, sure. We don't know if the MMPR one will yet.

The thing is, once you start dealing with Power Rangers, you're dealing with Saban/BoA. Yes, Tamashii is making the figure, but they have to go through both of those afformentioned companies (and in this case, BoA may as well be a completely separate entity) before they can release PR merchandise.

Well here's hoping they don't make an entirely pointless and 100% screen inaccurate body for no reason.

Here's my question to everyone that wants a male body: why do you care? Aren't you going for the JP releases anyways to have them be consistent?

God that set is sexy. And as if to tease this argument, it looks like the person in the pick is even holding the Yellow Ranger figure. How amusing.

Like I said: that's how she appeared in the show, so the Bluefin release is going to be the male body too. I really doubt Bluefin will release an exclusive new body for the US market, not unless one was already planned for the Japanese market to begin with…

musicfighter 07-16-2013 10:28 PM
And here's where we disagree, because I believe that we wouldn't even be getting the whole team on either shore if it weren't for American demand. (We'd still have gotten Red and Green, though).

I know people don't always believe this, but there are some Tamashii lines that exist primarily because of demand from outside of Japan (Godzilla, Dragonball and Megaman being the big ones), and I think MMPR falls under this category.

Exactly, it would be pointless to have a female version whereas in the show, she was always more inscale persay with the males, because the suit is male. There is no way that Bluefin will make the female version just because the actor was female and not the suit. So for those who want a female version of yellow, buy 2 pinks and customize if your that picky.

Which why would it have been?

And to answer a previous question, yes. I am buying the JP release because I'm collecting them as Zyurangers, not Power Rangers. But it wouldn't matter what I chose to collect the simple fact is that a female Tiger Ranger body (baring the female Gokai Changes) did not exist. It certainly didn't during MMPR so I see no reason to produce a female body for that figure.

If they do, there's a slim possibility they could, I would still fail to see the point of it. It's inaccurate.
