I like the designs. I figure they 3D scanned the actors heads and built the helmets around that thus why the proportions seems odd ranger to ranger. Also realized something but put in tags:

I think Rita's staff IS the gold morpher that she's bent and twisted to her will

That looks a lot better. See, what we want is an updated design, not a radically changed one. Hell, the MMPR the movie looks way more faithful and is how the suits would've been.

The trailer is the final straw for me. I don't like the Rita's design (although if the Green Ranger theory is true I'll accept it), the logo is way to different and now the suits. Honestly this may end up like Godzilla 1998.

I'd be okay with the suits if there was a little more evening of the color distribution. They seem to be a bit too generous with the primary color & they need some extra white or silver to dial it back a bit.

Besides that, what else can I say? We knew from the beginning that this was made to appeal to general audiences instead of fans like us. I've seen alot worse done by fans online. This isn't as offensive as people keep making it up to be.

Sure, I don't like that they're comparable to Kamen Riders or Iron Man. I'd prefer they be recognized as themselves instead of as similar to other properties. But it could've been worse. Alot worse. I mean, there are folks here that are surprised that the suits even have more of their primary colors than they do black. That shows that these suits have potential to be likable even with the different direction they've taken.

I wish there was more secondary colors.

Watty, you're good at Photoshop right? I have an idea for the design.

Is it bad that this is exactly what I was expecting the suits to look like?

I got my EW Magazine the Power Rangers suit photos are on page 42 & 43 full page.

Yea that's basically what I was thinking. It's definitely a start, but I like that more than the real coloration.

If they were gonna get rid of the belt they should have had the power coin slapped on the chest like the action figures instead of just making them stick out like the gems on the treasure trolls. :lolol

Kinda curious as how Japan is taking this.

Rolling their eyes going "Goddamn, America is obsessed with Zyuranger..."

I'm actually interested now. (I don't really like the MMPR seasons because they overuse the Zyuranger costumes. Even if they had some reason to use the other sentai costumes for the seasons adapted, I would be more accepting of that team.)

My point precisely.

At this point, it's barely even Zyuranger. Zyuranger was about a bunch of guys from dinosaur times reawakening to stop an evil witch. This movie is about a bunch of teenagers fighting a Green lizard lady. At this point, the only thing left is the suits having some passing aesthetic resemblance to the Zyu suits.

Just from the comments in this page...a few people going "this looks like iron man." Also some comment about how pink and yellow have boobs now, and something about ero strength? I dunno.

So they're taking it about as well as us. Neat. We're rarely on the same wavelength :lol

Ahahahaahahahahahaha!

So I checked the comments on the link barnstarch posted and here are a few:

"Hmm, it has changed quite a lot I don't know if I can take it in.
Why did they decide on this direction..."

"They look friggin' strong... "

"If Japan had a Sentai version of FIRST, NEXT, or AMAZONZ, I wonder if it will be designed like this?
Red Ranger looks like his chest is shining and gives off Iron Man vibes.
But what really feels displaced is Tiger Ranger with breasts(laugh)"

"I hope they release the 20th anniversary Daizyujin here in Japan as well.
I hope they sell Daizyujin again to commemorate the movie."

I despise these suits. Its everything wrong with american adaptations and destroys any hope of actual fighting in suits.
If these are CG im gonna eat my hat.

Why we can just create a american designed spadex suit again is beyond me.

Because spandex doesn't look like it would protect the body from monster attacks as effectively as the actual suits that were designed for the new movie and doesn't look even remotely armor like in any way whatsoever.

Do we still not have a date for the movie toy line yet?

Super curious to see how these designs will translate to toys actually.

Don't love or hate it, but maybe it'll grow on me.

Had a thought: what if the morphers detach and form into the rangers weapons, it feeds into my Rita's staff=gold morpher theory. Also I hope they go with the classic weapons (sword,bow,axe,lance and daggers) instead of the stuff we got in the first movie.... was any reason ever given for that I've always assumed it was budget/time constraints.

As far as I know, we don't, but it's way too early for that kinda info anyways. I imagine we'll see pictures of a good chunk of the toy line itself before we get any kind of street date.
I hope that's not something they're doing. I would prefer the morpher and weapons stay seperate entities.

Don't know if I ever chimed in on the suits here, but I think they look like the Voltron the Third Dimension costumes.

they will look kinda like iron man figures.

Q4. So, sometime between September and December.

Usually, BoA does their big "next year" Power Rangers roll-out right after Thanksgiving.

I think the suits look are alright. Red and Pink Ranger look the best, but I don't like how Black, Blue, and Yellow Rangers' helmet turned out.

May be Black Friday? I know the movie toys will be may be 6 months befor they come out but i think they need to give us a date. Tell us if it's Black Friday.

6 months is an awful long lead time. Usually, two months prior is the rule of thumb, unless you're Star Wars. I can see Black Friday as a likely candidate...or at least post-Halloween.

I do have to agree with Jeremy Jahns on the video with some of the stuff that he pointed out.

I hope the Ninja Steel toys do not get in the way of the movie toys.

I think its cool/funny how he used the SCR figure of Daizyujin for the image of the MegaZord. Also, his think about Rita and Scorpina, nice idea. Would male an interesting plot. :lol

The Ninninger suits are way better than these...things, though. I'd rather have those as toys.

I hope this movie gets toys.

I'm honestly more worried about the opposite happening. Movie toy lines tend to command a larger focus on store shelves.
Oh, it definitely will. I can't imafine Bandai not capitalizing on this opportunity.

Power Rangers will have all these sharing shelf space:

1. Movie Products (action figures, Megazord, props)
2. Ninja Steel (action figures, Megazord, props)
3. Legacy (Blaster, Falconzord, Ninja Megazord)
4. Mega Collection (Megazord, props)
5. Super Dino Charge leftovers

1. & 2. will be what we find most places and will probably take up some decent real estate and an end-cap.

3. & 4. will be Toys R Us centric. Considering they usually give a few weeks space up front along a wall to featured product, I think they'll be plenty of room for all four there. Transformers had AoE, Generations and Masterpiece. The only one that suffered was the Masterpiece figures but that's because scalpers were buying the crap out of MP Grimlock to resell and that would have happened at anytime of the year.

5. will be everywhere but in limited quantity at that point. Whether it has shelf space is up to the retailer and how frequently they clear out product.

Not bad... I think sometimes different is a good thing. I guess we'll find out.
