That price tag is getting to me too. Gokaiger and Go-Busters both have Figuarts, but I might just end up picking the Lightning versions of their PR equivalents instead because of that price!

No BAF element with this line right? I'm guessing since there was no mention, that's a no. I suppose none of the villains are really too big for a regular release. I have high hopes, as this looks amazing. Finally a great PR figure!

No BAF as yet. Looks like too many accessories and side items to include one. Which is a blessing in disguise.

And Villains vary. Most are still relatively Ranger sized. At least the ones iconic enough to be made.

if they don't have villains then im not buying any of these

unless its a character i really like but lol they're not going to make any gokai silver figures

They will when they get to super mega force. Eventually all rangers will be made. But I don't think this is the only line we'll get, but was the most ready for morphicon to start hype for fans.

Psycho rangers, and some iconic bad guys will be made too. And we've yet to see the all ages line, the zord line, or any other new lines. Lightning probably went into development the fastest and earliest. Likely day of purchase. The rest conceptually had to go through other checks first. We'll know more by toy fair and next SDCC.

Holy crap, it has molded spandex wrinkles.

Now if only we can also get some good figures of suits that no one really cares about, like the Lightspeed Rescue team. Or even Lightning Series Megazords.

Shame about the lack of ankle tilt, but I think the fact that this looks like an actual person and not some comedic freak of muscle is what makes up for that.

To be honest, In my opinion, Hasbro's facesculpt tech has already exceeded Bandai's.

I'm thinking those hands wont be on hinges for the final product. That would be new for Hasbro. Legacy White Ranger wasn't a freak of muscle due to the shield covering his chest but this is much better. It looks like a suit and not painted on.

I hope to see a female figure soon. I don't want to see this figure look great and then see Hasbro sell a female sex doll.

As to the face, I'm much better then back in the day. At such a small scale, I just don't think you are getting more detail without intensive paint apps. The detail that is missing is our imperfections like goosebumps, wrinkles, and various skin tones. You want that then expect to pay 40 dollars more. I can't wait to see some fans do some more custom work.

Also white ranger has an inner black ring bandai.

Hinged wrists isn't that new. They've been doing that for random Ironman figures since his first movie. And did it for GI Joe 1:18th figures with Retaliation and others.
Spider-man's releases have had it too on various figures. Both 6'' and 1:18th.
Other Marvel Legends have it too like Dr. Strange and more.

So they've been doing hinged wrists for at least 10 years now. Unless you consider a decade of use "new". Even older, Sigma 6 had them too.

This is a production sample, that might be hand painted, not sure. What you see is what the final will have. Outside of maybe some minor deco differences, but even that won't be much. Hasbro doesn't skimp on the details for modern Legends line like stuff.

Does have ankle tilt. Uses a variation of Modern Ankle rockers they use on legends that was originally developed for the Marvel 1:18th line and GI Joe line. You can see it in the pictures. Also has neck tilt.

I don't think that's just an opinion.
