I'll wait for somewhere else to get them (or the minipla), but it's exciting that it's all going down!

Ah,so the numbers switch when they want to use different members weapons.Just seems like their focusing on Kamen Rider and not Sentai.Some of the parts on the Mecha look unpainted.(the cars for example,and even the weapons for the figs).I hope I'm wrong and that theyre just early prototypes.

I don't even get the point of this gimmick, it just makes the weapons less special. It's much cooler to associate a Ranger with their own specific weapon, so they have a speciality and defined role on the team, than to simply let everyone use anything.

It's the Transfer Transformation gimmick, Norikei Henshin. One hero can load the Resha of another into their Changer in order to use their personalized weapon and abilities. The numbers rotate on the figure to facilitate any ranger using any others abilities. In show their numbers will stay the same while the suit changes.

I have to agree. In a way, it gives the ranger a bit of character.

I'm not a fan of any of these. Not digging the weapon swapping and the mecha still hasn't warmed up to me.

No matter what the "enthusiasts" say, Sentai isn't a particularly strong storytelling medium so making members of the team 'the guy with the sword' 'the guy with the axe' 'the guy with the gun' is a cheap way to create characterisation without the need for actually creating it. And it works in context because most sentai is all about the action, so we can quickly associate who is who and what they are about, and that is fine.

So unless this is gonna put in deep focus on the characters and the plot, and reign in the action like Kamen Rider does (to an extent), I can see this show ending up almost as hollow and vapid as Megaforce.

So no female figures then?

Eaaah... I am not digging this. Not at all.

Yeah, I'm definitely warming up to all of this.
