My Predator just shipped! Now...do I have him torment more Riders like the Alien? Or do I send him after my Sentai...MUAHAHAHAHA

Have him crash a movie war and take on everybody :lol

Zyuranger is the most drastic change in packaging but they've left the kamen rider ones alone, even the Black RX is still Black RX

They have no reason to change the boxes for the Kamen Rider figuarts. Even all of the Ryuki figuarts had the Ryuki logos on them instead of Dragon Knight.

With Zyuranger, it would make sense because of MMPR. Same with the other post-Zyuranger figuarts since Zyuranger - Gokaiger got adapted here. We still don't know if the Gokaiger figuarts will get release here in the US yet since Bluefin said in a interview that they are not sure due to lack of demand for the post-MMPR teams. I can see the Gokaigers getting the same boxes as the Japanese ones but with the Super Megaforce logos on them. Same with the Kyoryuger figuarts.

All I want to know is...where's my damn GoGo V/Lightspeed Rescue figuarts!?

I dont know. But I would kill to have Dana and Carter in Figuart form :(

I'd kill for Dana. I'd slaughter for Carter. And I would commit genocide for Ryan.

I've just now pre-ordered the Kabuto Rider Form Renewal, still gonna pre-order Leangle & Hibiki ^_^.

For sure, Ryan's got to happen. I'm still hoping for a Megaranger/Psychoranger series. Hell, if they just give me Red & Silver I'd be ok. Also, looking for that Rita Repulsa & Lord Zedd. I think it's time they get accurate depictions of them. And if they do Legend Mode Magirangers that'd be cool. But not going to beat the dead horse.

True, but at least the overall design of the Ptera Ranger box still resembled Tyranno and Dragon Rangers' boxes.

And all those talking on this, Lightspeed Rescue Figuarts would be indeed awesome. Of course, for me, so would Zeo and Time Force Figuarts.

Also, what ever happened to that Lord Zedd Figuart that was being talked about possibly being made I read somewhere? Bluefin says MMPR is what sells, so if we're getting an exclusive female Yellow Ranger, how about Putty Figuarts or Goldar?

In some Toy designers head together with my Magiranger figuarts :(

If Zedd happens (they said it was only a possibility) it'll most likely be a Con exclusive. Personally, I'm ready for MMPR/Zyuranger to end. It's the main reason we've seen so few other releases for the past year and I can't imagine there's that many people who'd be interested in buying puttys and Rita, etc, even if they are MMPR related.

I'd really like to see some new teams released, or even better, for them to go back and finish all of the half complete ones!

I was just discussing Putties with a friend of mine the other night after the Combatman gallery went up. That figure would provide a pretty decent buck to build the Putty on, I think.

I think they will find ways to milk Zyuranger/MMPR since Bluefin said that the MMPR figuarts have reach DBZ numbers in sales. I bet we will see more SRC stuff of Zyuranger/MMPR Season 1, Dairanger/MMPR Season 2 and Kakuranger/MMPR Season 3.

I am gleefully down for Thunder Megazord, Tigerzord, and Ninja Megazord SRCs.

God yes.

I'm alright with MMPR getting some solid toys as long as it doesn't impede us getting other stuff as well.

I'd buy like three or four putties.

I'll take a Quantum ranger while we are putting in requests. ..

Yes. This. Yes. Yes.

Yes.

I wouldnt kill Dana... Id do something different, but that whole team Id honestly kill for.

I'd buy a Grifforzer or Bandora Figuart instantly. Bandora would be best as a zero though.

Ya know, now that I think of it, you might be right. But in any case, we need a good Bandora/Rita. And Grifforzer/Goldar is a smart choice.

My Kabuto is Preparation in progress with nippon-yasan :rock:

Anyone here want or think that Bandai will release renewals of base form riders using this new mold?

Riders like Agito, Kuuga, W, ooo, or some showa era KR may benefit hugely with this upgrade, but, on the flip will cost an arm.

I personally wouldnt mind too much is the quality is good, however, would only want base forms to use this mold as it would be to expensive to keep up and in general recent releases have been pretty good, eg Blade riders

I feel that the Fourze (maybe), Wizard, Ryuki, Den-O, and Blade won't be touched by renewal. Hibiki shows that going forward we should expect that mold's use. So Kiva and other Hibiki Riders for sure. But Kuuga, Agito, W, and OOO would all benefit from being revisited. And are popular enough to still sell.

I could see a Figuarts Lord Zedd as a con exclusive. However, wasn't there talks about doing a SDCC exclusive 2-pack of Armored Black Ranger with Unarmored Green Ranger maybe?

Whether people like it or not MMPR is the money maker according to Bluefin and they will milk that cash cow as much as possible while the whole 20th Anniversary is going on and stuff.

I'd like to see more new Sentai Figuarts as well or completion of teams already existing, but it is what it is. Especially when it seems like the Sentai Figuarts are now looked at profit wise for both Japan and overseas rather than just Japan nowadays. It's the only reason they're making all the Ayurangers and did Kiba Ranger from what I've read online.

The Boukenger 2-pack and Hurricangers brought over to America in their Power Ranger forms seem to not be big sellers compared to the Zyu/MMPR ones. The SDCC Shinkenger/Samurai 5-pack still is available all over the place.

I just want them to hurry up with setting up the fucking July pre-orders so I can get some Leangle action going up in this mother. OMFG did I REALLY just say that :LOL :lolol?! Seriously though I want those damn July pre-orders to get set already. I might consider adding the Black RX & Acrobatter renewals but I'm not sure yet.

W just got reissue last January in 2013 (or maybe it was December 2012), so I doubt he will be renewal. I don't think OOO will get renewal anytime soon as well.

Yeah but remember that Takara announced a new Master Piece Prime right as soon as the first version of the toy got reissued.

That's a different company. I don't think they will renewal something if the figure is still in print.

I kept Green packed up for far too long. I know opening him up will take away his value, but fuck it. I want to play with him. Screw the autograph.

I always open first. The boxes I keep on hand for display, transport, and signing purposes.

Also you could always get a stand signed...

God getting Burai (I may have the American version, but dammit he's Burai!) in his flute playing pose was a bitch and a half.

Getting excited to get Kabuto to ship out - AmiAmi's received their stock. Still waiting for the impact effect parts (thinking those will be later tonight?) before I expect to receive a payment request.

Here comes Leangle, official images released.

Looks great...

...also makes me sad my S.I.C. version is super-fragile. At least I'll be able to handle this Figuarts version.

I'm inclined to agree. I think our best bet for a Lord Zedd would be a Con exclusive. But I'd be surprised if they do a Armored Black/Unarmored Green set.

As far as all the bellyaching, we should be happy they care so much about the MMPR line. It's pretty much keeping the Sentai Figuarts in the market conscience. It's a team, people want to finish, and it's the only series to bridge across nations. I'm sure we'll get more figures in the future, some fan favorites. Keep the faith guys.

Well, just payed for my renewal Kabuto. Wish I had thought to change my shipping option sooner since Hobbysearch apparently doesn't let you do that after the item's in stock like AmiAmi does... Oh well, guess I'll have it in a few weeks.

Now I wait for Leangle to be up for pre-order on BBTS :lol.

Wonder if we'll get the Missing Ace Riders as well?

I don't even like Blade and I want those Figuarts, they are just gorgeous looking.
