Not gonna lie, would love to see Super Mode and Battlizer figures in the future. SWAT Mode SPD Green especially.

When was that confirmed? I might have to cancel my pre-order of the two pack, I don't really need the cake

Oh, I meant specifically of Beast Morphers relating to what I was talking to -- that they'd stretch out them being 'Legacy Rangers' and recognisable past characters to young kids by including more versions of them in the line in 2021 and 2022. Or maybe that's me hoping too hard that we'd get LC Powered Customs after being very disappointed in the Basics versions...

Solo Rita has not been confirmed.
It has only been assumed because Rita has silver applications when they should be gold.
The wording makes it seem like this won't be the definitive Rita release.


Problem with the internet, jump to conclusions and echoed back.

Until Hasbro does a press release, the only upcoming Rita is in that Wedding Pack.

I do want to say that despite how the Psychos are being handled, I LOVE that we'll finally get a full team of Psychos with modern articulation. That was probably one of the teams that I wanted most from this line, and we're getting that after only a year.

Depending on when the next wave drops, the Psychos could actually be our first completed team in the line, since we technically don't have a regular MMPR black or a Season 1 accurate Green Ranger. We even have Psycho Green. This is way more dedication to complete teams than Bandai America or even Bandai Japan have ever shown.

To your first point, I'm already starting to consider that for myself after this. With this precedent in place now, I feel much more hesitant to buy single releases of characters who are part of teams. Of course some of them, like Ranger Slayer and other Drakkon forms, won't be an issue for that. But for example if they release Zeo Red soon, even though I love Zeo and its the series I want completed most, I'd be tempted to skip and wait to see if they do this again. Sure I can try to sell extra copies if needed, but there's no guarantee I can get them sold, and if I do, it'll almost certainly be at a loss.

I get why they're doing this, the execution of it is the problem. If they'd outright state in advance what their plans are, great, that works. But I'm sure they won't when they inevitably do this again in the future, and it just comes across as a really scummy practice regardless of their reasons.

Okay, so I looked up the article where I thought they said it, and "confirmed" was actually the wrong word to use, my bad. It's moreso implied that she'll be released separate later on, as the official description noted that her dress is "exclusive" to the 2-Pack. People began to speculate if that meant her eventual later release would have a plastic dress instead.

Ah okay. I see what you mean, and yeah, I could maybe see them doing that. And I'd be all for it, personally.

It's at once inspiring and kind of funny that the first team completed after MMPR is of all things the Psycho Rangers. Like, heck, I'm all for it; this is great but it's so funny it wasn't Zeo or Dino Charge or even Beast Morphers first

I'm honestly surprised it wasn't Beast Morphers since we're two away from that team. But as another person stated above, I think they're waiting until the next series airs to release them. Keep BM collectors on the hook for a little bit longer, then release them at an opportune time.


It seems like with Beast Morphers, Hasbro was trying to capture a lot of the older Ranger fans with all of the callbacks, references to previous seasons and bringing back Jason, so it's actually a smart move to bring those collectors back with Beast Morphers, and maintain their interest throughout future installments. I think that's the primary reason why they're following up with another Dino season and not say, LuPat or Kyuranger.

Another person? :p

Ahhh...I'm half-asleep. Forgive me :o

A full team of Psychos is a dream of mine come true. This is a perfect release you have the whole team in ONE BOX. I want to see Inspace, Kyoryuger extra rangers get a full team release like this much better than waiting for years to complete which takes way to long. When is the release date and preorders open?

This is just leaked artwork so far, so no actual release details or dates yet.

Also wanna say though -- good point about Kyoryuger's extra rangers. Especially with the Psychos being a sort of adjacent team to In Space, I could see them applying this strategy to 'extra' teams -- stuff like the extra Dino Charge rangers, or Jungle Fury's Spirit Rangers, or the Alien Rangers. This might be where we see this type of release in full force!

If nothing else, I can imagine we'll see a lot of customized Psycho Oranges and Purples and Whites and whatnot just to make use of the extra Psychos we have.

Oh man, I really hope the extras in DC don't get relegated to a 4-Pack. Gray is the only DC Ranger I want, so I'd rather not pay $80 for him if given the option.

I think, given what *seems* to be the reason for the Psycho 5-Pack, this sort of situation will only happen to Ranger teams and/or exclusives that sell really poorly.

But yeah, Hasbro needs to be careful with multipacks going forward. Their mishandling of them is part of what contributed to their Overwatch line dying.

I'll be totally fine double-dipping if Red and Blue either look slightly different or come with different accessories. Similar to Zeo Gold; Same figure, but the King Staff is in a mode different from the SDCC pack.

Zeo Gold I consider a different situation for a couple reasons, too:-

First off, the retail release is Trey, while SDCC is Jason. It's minor, sure, and comes down to headsculpts; but they are still representing two different versions of the character.

Most importantly though, the 2-pack happened first. That combined with it being an SDCC exclusive basically made it an early access Zeo Gold, with the retail release being for people who don't wanna pay a bunch for an exclusive. It's basically limited distribution early, wider distribution later.

For what it's worth, this line at least seems to be doing better than Overwatch. I don't even think that line made it to a year before slowing down. Also in my area, I don't see old waves hanging around for too long.

A full team is exactly what I want!! I pre-ordered Green and now this is happening? BWAHAHAHAHA! Yessss.

Also, just by merit of it being event-exclusive, a lot of people weren't able to get it in the first place. And I think everybody that did get it was fully aware that Zeo Gold was too popular to just be an event-exclusive and knew it'd see a regular release. Plus he came with a non-essential figure with Armored Red, whereas Psycho Red came with Lost Galaxy Red.

HOLY COW!!!! :eek:

Man, that's such a middle finger to the people that already bought Blue and Red. I hope this isn't a recurring thing.

It also might make sense production wise. All the gear used on the show would be in better condition then that used years ago. Power Rangers adapting the next Sentai was a case of convenience/inconvenience.

I honestly have no interest in the 5 pack, I only have red cause I wanted a Gingared figure and only interested in blue cause he goes for super cheap. what I want is distribution in my area to be better cause I can never find any of these in stores

And you can view it like that. But it's a godsend for those that missed out on the initial selling of Red and Blue. I only just recently found a Blue Psycho in my area right before hearing about this pack deal. And yes, I bought it. But I'm still going to buy the team pack.

You obviously aren’t familiar with Hasbro’s methods. Like a lot of recent Toku shows with the suits, they’ll reuse a mold as many times as they want until they make enough money off it to make new ones. Thereve been at least 8 releases of Transformers Prime Beast Hunters Cyberverse Sinnertwin.

That's different though, those are redecos as different characters. It's not 8 releases of the exact same figure

They’ve rereleased Siege Smashdown, Battle Squad, Rung and Astrotrain in Earthrise.

Re-releases are fine since collectors can skip them if they don't want them. If you bought Siege Astrotrain, you don't have to buy Earthrise Astrotrain. You're not missing anything.

The big problem here is that Psycho Red was part of two multipacks that included entirely different characters (essential ones at that) and are coming out barely a year apart (depending on when this thing hits shelves).

My other thought is that perhaps this was intended to be the SDCC exclusive? But it'd still be shitty if this was the only way to get the other Psychos unless they've planned for single releases later on down the line. But they need to communicate that with us.

That's not the same thing though. I don't have a problem with them reusing molds; Hell, the Psycho Rangers are identical outside of the colours. Now Marvel Legends making people buy figures no one wants for the Build-A-Figure parts and then releasing the Build-A-Figure separately 6 months later is a better example.

Here's Psycho Red. Here's Psycho Blue.

Of course it's great for people that didn't already buy red and blue. The point is that people already bought them, they didn't come out THAT long ago and they're still available!

You missed the part where I said I already bought Blue. Besides, why give me links to them when I'm going to buy the 5 pack? I'm not a cutomizer, so I have no need to buy Red.

Also, I have no desire to own Lost Galaxy Red. So there's that.

Might pick up the box set, always liked the Psycho Ranger design.

Also how many people are going to buy a set of just Pink, Yellow and Black? They'd run into the same problem as Bandai and their non red ranger sentai packs which undersold consistently it seemed.

You're missing the point.
If you want the five pack and don't have red or blue (I know you said you had Blue) then great, the five-pack is perfect.
But for those that did buy Red and Blue, their apparently terrible sales (which I find pretty funny given how everyone was apparently clamouring for the Psychos) suggest individual releases of Yellow/Pink/Black may never happen. So yeah, it is a huge middle finger to buyers.

The situation was of course Bandai already release Psycho Red/Blue/Black with green/silver as exclusives. Red/blue were the first release and you could(and still can) buy them when these two LC figures came out. I can see why not everyone rushed out to buy figures they just purchased maybe even earlier that year.

Now what are essential figures is in the eye the beholder. Some people feel every permutation is essential.

At the very least let's see what Hasbro actually announces. They may not be deaf to the situation and have already planned for it.

Wow it seems they fix one thing and another problem emerges. I just got my Blue Ranger from Amazon.... no two tone plastic this time around but the diamonds/teeth on his chest are spread a little too thin... its almost looks like a light blue instead of white... mostly noticeable when next to his other MMPR teammates. Also the white on the gloves and boots have a dirty yellow hue to them...

I get that these are 20 dollar figures but whats it going to take to get some consistency and quality control at hasbro?

the Psycho Ranger set has been found at retail in Malaysia.

Retail price is apparently 450MYR (that's about $105 USD).

I gotta say that looking at the entire team like that....they look awesome. Can't wait to add Psycho Green to the mix!


I'm also just now realizing that Psycho Black's collar was gold whereas everyone else was white. Huh.

Wtf. I need to go look for this!

But yeah. Now you guys know how expensive stuff are in my country
