If i get nothing else, I will own UFOMaru.

I guess, but I think the main reason the TQG figures didn't sell well was due too the popular of the show at the time, and because the gimmick didn't translate too well to the toys.

Given that Sentai stopped having proper action figures for half a decade, I'd imagine that's a pretty safe bet. Making something cheaper is certainly liable to help sales, but don't try explaining that to the Sentai purists.

At any rate, I'm digging the Ninninger stuff a fair bit. I'm in the weird position of really liking ToQ-Oh, so Shurikenjin isn't clicking with me as much as it should.
Other than that though, it looks fun. Can't wait to see videos of them.

Was that really necessary? It has nothing to do with Sentai purism so don't bring that drama in here. It has to do with those being awful toys. The BOA 5" line is pathetic and releasing something like that in Japan when just this year we had Norikae Change ToQgers, kind of sucks. It's sad to see BOJ begin to make toys similar in quality to BOA. I know BOA figs have their collector's, but I honestly do not understand a regression in quality and design like that.

Were the Norikae Change figures really that bad? :lol

Those Zords are wacky and still pretty awesome to totally work!

They weren't that bad in all honesty. So it shocks me they'd be replaced by such mediocre figures by comparison. They had multiple points of articulation, a ton of accessories, and a working number change gimmick in the chests and helmets. These new figures for Ninninger aren't much cheaper either, only by a couple hundred yen. So it makes the change over all the more confusing to me.

Did anyone else notice that the elephant head mecha kinda has the same "problem" the ToQ-Oh did?

A ninja, dragon, dump truck, and a train walk into a bar...

Am I the only one that finds the mech to be way too bulky?
