I'm thinking TRU will be exclusively selling these guys in a Limited quality, and online shops like BBTS will carry these guys a well. Second the cost. Going into a BOA mindset I think the red ranger6in will go for $15-20 like the Thundercats 6in, the morpher probably will go for $10-30. The toy that concerns me the most is the shinken-oh will go for I think realistically $60-100, and I think that price will be shared on to the collectors MMPR megazord to make shelf space easy for retail, which I don't know about you I'm not willing to pay $60 for a megazord, and I KNOW I'm not willing to pay $100 for one. Now I'm just guessing stuff and you can ignore me and my price guess, and yes I'm still excited for Everything here....except for the mask because mask confuse me...a lot.
You have to remember, the only way BoA can sell their Megazords for $25 is by completely gutting them. Removing all electronics, all die cast, all action features, etc.
$60 for a Megazord is completely reasonable.

Gonna tackle this one by one now that I've calmed down from last night's supercaps marathon.

Dino Megazord- Diecast Collector's Edition- I admit, I bought the 2010 Dino Megazord, granted it was a severely water damaged box with everything inside safe from damage for $2.50, but I bought it nonetheless. As it is, the mold is very solid and I'm very glad to have it, even with this news. A more polished look, diecast bits, and metallic paints make me hella interested. Not sure if I'd buy it, though. It really depends on price + If I can sell my current one.

Armored Might- You know what? Fuck the haters. I'm digging this. The overroided look is a Bandai of America staple at this point, and I'm not surprised in the slightest by this. Really liking the articulation I see, and I think the Dragon Shield/bands might be removable. They look like they'll be 7-8" tall though. Depending on price, I might be all in.

Sentai Series- Shinken-O Megazord- As someone who has purchased the majority of the Samurai Megazord line (Just gotta wait for Bull Megazord), I am nowhere near angry that this is happening. In fact, I'm probably gonna go ahead and get this as well, depending on the price, mainly because of how drastic the changes are in the Samurai Megazord.

Power Morpher Collector's Edition- Bought on sight.

When you're like me and expect jack shit from a company who phones in the majority of their toylines, it's kinda easy to get wowed.

I am happy. With the samurai Megazords the only one I was really disappointed in was the main on, but This makes up for it

ShakesDaKlown 07-12-2012 11:38 AM
No Dragon coin with the morpher? Other than the mask set, why no Green Ranger anything?

My hope is that the Dragonzord we were promised is coming later down the road, and will include a Dragon coin for the morpher.

coturos 07-12-2012 12:13 PM

Ok 1 the sentai meachs haven't really had die-cast in theme for a while (think gaoranger was the last series to have a die-cast mecha, but dont quote me on that). Also yes BOA removes "action features" like the engine souls in RPM, but in my opinion that made the RPM megazord a better toy than engine-oh.I never felt that there is enough in the base figure of a megazord to worent a $60 price point but that is just my opinion, to me $25 seems more reasonable for what your getting, a statue with at most 2 point of articulation, that if you want to make better you have to spend more money.

coturos 07-12-2012 01:11 PM
uppercaseccc, idont know... i think 40 is my limit, but only if i like the megazord, heck if it werent for the clawzord being so accurate i wouldnt even have even bought anything from samurai, but alas now i have a gigazord

I wasn't going to mention your abominable spelling and grammar but then you decided that the word warrant is spelled worent.

A dragon coin would be a bit pointless without the gold morpher, which I'm sure they'll do if there's enough demand for this one. That's how the original Japanese Dino/dragon bucklers were released, and that seems to be what these were based on. They're even including the belt clasps, which weren't used in MMPR.

coturos 07-12-2012 01:56 PM
shinken- oh: cool. but i alredy have gigazord so maybe not
2010: ok ill get that probly thats cool

What I'm thinking is they'll release a Dragon Dagger or Dragonzord with a Gold Morpher with the Dragon, White Tiger and Falcon coins.

You can't be serious. BOA has done nothing but bastardize DX releases since Boukenger (aside from the 2010 Original Megazord). Everything has less features, less paint, worse quality, less playability. Ill gladly pay $60 for a quality toy over $25 for a terrible one.

coturos 07-12-2012 03:22 PM
eh, all im hopin for is they keep alot of the diecast in the feet and legs, cause if they dont... and the way the 2010s legs plug into the tyranno..... ya that wouldnt end well

OujaStrike 07-12-2012 03:24 PM
Finally were getting a Power morpher the original i have is pretty beat up, i'm getting 2, 1 to use & 1 to keep as a collector

Saying they bastardized them is a bit ridiculous. At most, you can get away with saying that when talking about the Overdrive stuff since that really was a low quality line. Having collected the shinkenger stuff a few months back, I can say the Samurai line gave us all the zords from the show and for a hell of a lot cheaper while still being decent toys. Even the Lightzord, which was shrunken way down ended up being a fun toy to add to the collection. While it may not be the Adult Collector's cup of tea, the zord builder line adds a whole lot of playability to any megazord out at the moment. It's for the zordbuilder stuff alone that I hope BoA does there own take on the gosei mecha.

As for the 2012 line, I am glad BoA decided to make a new power morpher. I look forward to picking one up when it comes out. Makes me even more excited for ToyFair next year.

^ My argument as well, Jungle Fury-Samurai BOA originals Megazords are good toys but there just not for you there for kids aka the TARGET DEMOGRAPHIC. I also think the BOA stuff is a little bit better because of the interactivity between all the Zordbuilder stuff, go look at the PRS merchandise thread on Rangerbord to see some coll stuff for why the BOA toys are good with zordbuilder

Bastardized may not be the appropriate term but i think nerfed to hell and back is. They took designs that, originally, were functional complex and fun and turned them into complete messes. Daibouken couldnt form the Ultimate in the US because they nerfed nearly that entire line aside from Daivoyager/Battlefleet. Admittedly the Gekiranger/Jungle Fury toys weren't great to begin with so they didn't do much there. But the RPM stuff was ridiculously and cheaply altered losing the entire point of the Engine Soul gimmick. And now the Samurai stuff all loses an extra mode of functionality. Why the hell even use the origami footage in the show if your toy company can't mimic that in their original designs? The Goseiger toys were not great so I feel like BOA would do well to redesign them anyway. But I think it's entirely accurate to say that most of their original designs or dumbed down versions of Sentai robos are pretty bad. When you loose out in quality, paint apps, and complexity what's the point of being original with your designs?

destiny13777 07-13-2012 07:04 PM
But there not complete messes. As bad as the entire line was,you could still form ultimate daibouken with the Overdrive toys, it just looks inaccurate do to pink not being able to fold up. For the overdrive toys, I can agree with you that they are pretty terrible, especially since we never got a siren builder.

The RPM toys, while feeling a bit cheaper, are still perfectly fine toys. The engine cells in the actual show didn't give voices to the actual zords or anything so it's not like they needed electronics for that. They could have fixed up the eye stickers though, they messed up on that note. The loss of origami mode only hurts in yellow and blue's cases since blue's zord is really inaccurate and yellow's hurts 2 combinations. Outside of those 2, they didn't really need it since I would assume most people would keep them in combine modes anyways. While the toys are inferior to the originals, there made out to be affordable and still capable of most of what's seen in the show.

RatTrap 07-14-2012 05:05 PM
I already have an original shinken-oh, but I will buy the american release in the hopes that BOA will go back to just releasing the japanese toys.

coturos 07-15-2012 06:18 PM
is anyone else goin to the chicago comic con. if not i could take pictures and report back if anything was revealed
