I will never forgive that toyline along Cartoon Network; partners in crime responsible for killing that show. I'm still salty.

the reason why no one is able to get a picture of the legacy figures is because they are still in the prototype stage. I saw them myself and they look pretty cool, remind me of marvel legends type thing when you see it with that build a megazord.but also if I remember correctly its the suit design they are trying with different textures and such hence the no photos. its worth the wait to see these things. the falconzord will be sold seperately even on the back of the box it shows it will combine

Did either of you actually read the thread? Photos aren't allowed so don't expect any clear photos. Especially ones that people are going to freely share.

All this news is pretty exciting. Not sure how much we'll see over here (or when) but looks to be a good few years for Power Rangers :)

Okay, someone on Rangerboard claimed that Tokunation asked about the Thunder Megazord's leaning problem. Bandai then responded with some line about design looking into it because a $200 item shouldn't do that.

Is that true? I don't see it anywhere. I've also been awake a very short time catching up on Toy Fair news, so it could be right under my nose.

I don't imagine it's a problem that could be fixed though. Looks like they had a choice been an articulated neck/tail on the dragon or sturdy thighs on the Megazord and went with the choice that would get less bitching on the internet.

Although I would it if they could figure out a fix of some sort...

Only place I heard it was Tom saying it on the live stream.

That's because they weren't committed to it in the first place. They only did some of the main characters in a 6inch scale, but did two classics in 8 inches. Then decided to scrap that and do them in 6 inches, then canceled it.

No, I didn't. I've been at an anime con all weekend so I didn't get on here until after midnight. I've been going through multiple sites at the same time to see everything that was revealed.

The lack of photos makes it hard for me to get excited. Are these figures actually show accurate? How do they compare to the Figuarts? Do they come with their weapons? How are the sculpts? Do they have as much articulation as Marvel Legends/DC Icons/Figuarts? Does the Green Ranger shield stay attached? Do they have alternate hands? How articulated are their BAFs? How does the sculpt look on those?

All we have to go on is what was described and a few unofficial snippets. I've heard they look pretty damn good. Somewhere between Figuarts and Legacy figures.

I'll ask what everyone wants to know, and it's exactly what cannot be answered:

A: Why are the Legacy "Build-a-Megazord" figures kept so secret!? Why can't they be revealed? What's the point of displaying them if no one can "officially" take any pictures!?

B: When are they likely to be revealed in general? Will official images debut anytime soon? My understanding is that these will start cluttering the aisles in July, but I want to know more ahead of time! Them teasing us while restricting us when you have a finished product doesn't help Bandai's public image!

Because they are still in the prototype stage. These arent finished figures yet.

No it tanked because no one was buying them my walmarts couldn't even give the damn things away that's why they canned it.

Thundercats was like Young Justice in that regard.

The Legacy figures sound like they'll be a good replacement for the SHFs, since we're probably never going to see anymore Super Sentai SHFs.

Literally reading the first post of the thread or the front page would answer half of your questions.

We need a Legacy Wild Force Megazord ASAP.

if they keep the original molds and diecast then yes.

Is no one going to ask them why the regular tails weren't used for Spino and black Rexy?

Uh... so are the DC Icons that are on display. And the new Marvel Legends reveals. Oh, not to mention all of Mattel's Thundercats, new He-Man and DCU stuff.

The first post only says they couldn't take pictures of the Ninja Megazord. You also have to remember, I was reading the front post at top speed while exhausted from a full day.

Those are all different companies. MLs are Hasbro, DC Icons/Collectibles are their own thing and you said it yourself, Thundercats/He-Man/DCU are Mattel. Different companies means different policies when it comes to media. Bandai doesn't wanna show it in pics? That's their choice. So they ask for no pictures. Just be happy that we actually got a brief glimpse due to an accidental shot.

So, been lucky enough to see images of these Legacy figures and, as a collector of both Figuarts and Power Rangers figures, will give my best description possible.

- Ball joint ankles (the Green Ranger is displayed in a way where his left leg is "planting", so his leg is bent at an angle that keeps his foot on the ground). There is your standard knee joint, but also appears to have a lower thigh swivel right above the knee joint.

- The arms look ball jointed but not in a way that makes it stand out (a little bit in the Ninja Storm Blue Ranger). There appears to be elbow joints, top of the forearm joints (like in the 5" figures), but also a wrist joint. This explains how the Ninja Storm Blue figure, as well as the MMPR Green figure, are ALMOST holding their weapons with two hands.

- Detail on the molding - on the Green Ranger figure, it's either rough molding on the legs or there's some of that "cloth fold" molding in place that the Figuarts started using where there's folds or creases in the suit where they naturally appear.

- Packaging looked nice - a black and green box with the yellow/gold Power Rangers lightning bolt on what appears to be the interior. A front window and a side window that show the figure. Bottom left front of package has the helmet of the Ranger inside.

- Megazords look to have head movement, arm and leg movement, and at least elbow joints. Couldn't tell if there are knee joints. The MMPR Megazord looks like it too has ankle joints because of how the Triceratops head is molded (there's a separation when it connects to the rest of the foot/leg, like it can move or at least swivel a bit).

- There's some puffyness in the chests for both the guys and the girls. The girls don't look to be too extreme as we've seen in the past. The guys look (again, this is from a picture that isn't focused on the figures) to have a wide chest with some visible pecks, but not like the 5" figures where they look chiseled and straight out of a body builder magazine.

Most importantly - these do not resemble Armored Might figures. At all. Not even in the slightest. They are closer to S.H. Figuarts, but ... thicker? Wider? I don't know how to describe it. They aren't skinny/lanky, but they aren't muscle building freaks either.

Please understand that I can't share the pictures that I have been shown. To begin with, they are not mine to share. Secondly, Bandai specifically asked that these figures do not be photographed and shared out because they discovered some details on the figures that they plan to change - they don't want people to see them and then not be happy with the end result, or be unhappy with what they see ahead of time. They are extremely excited about these figures and we will comply with their wishes.

Thanks for the description you can give. Were they doubled jointed elbows and knees though? Also, did it look like Green Ranger could play his Dagger like the Figuarts one could? I mean, if I already have the full team in Figuart form, is it even going to be worth getting the Legacy MMPR team?

Power Rangers figures with good proportions in lieu of the steroid junkies we usually get?

Color me intrigued.

With the added arm articulation yes I think he can.

So every ranger? Build a figure? Megazord BAF?! NINJA STORM?! Oh yes.

So you want it to be a reissue of the original Deluxe Wild Force Megazord and not a Zord Builder remake?

The dragonzord box looks great, the toy on the other hand...? The photos definitely make this a "pass" for me

So where's this Spinozord set folks are talking about? Missed that in the images somehow...

Yes and excuse my language, but fuck zordbuilder

I'm mobile and lazy, but its in the picture of the boxes on the right side of the display. Its obscured in Tokunation's photos, but if you look at each box you'll see it.

I spent 15 combing pictures to find it when I first heard about it.

here is a video of the legacy communicator sounds from toy fair. PLEASE NOTE THESE ARE NOT THE OFFICIAL FINALIZED VERSIONS OF THE SOUNDS FOR THIS ITEM. HAND SAMPLE AT TOY FAIR

Power rangers in 6 inch scale? Every ranger out there? Sounds interesting indeed. Though I'm still mostly psyched for titano charge megazord. Bring on that shiny guy.

Exciting news about the 6 inch Ranger figures. A good, collector quality retail line for Power Rangers (on par with Marvel Legends etc.) is long overdue. The build-a-megazord idea is interesting, but a very important factor for these figures is that they each include their (properly painted) weapons. If these new 6 inch figures are as good as they sound, I will try to get all of the Mighty Morphin and Zeo Rangers.

We missed it too. Bandai America kind of "hid it" behind some other already-released or already-known releases, but you can make out on the side of the box that it has "3 zords", shows Spino Megazord with Gray Pachy and Ankydon.

Bandai America has winky-teased me more than I am comfortable admitting when it comes to Zeo. Makes me think they have something planned, or they've already got it all figured out, and they're just waiting to announce/reveal ... or they're just like "Oh shit it's Kickback, quick ... wink at him so he goes away".

Probably the second one.

Cool! That's great to hear! :D

I'm glad others like these but I'll stick to the main line for now. These would have to be utterly amazing to justify buying them and from my experience with lines like this it will be a ton of hype and okay figures.

New merch release
 

Does anyone know the release date of the Ninja Megazord?
