Two more Deluxes confirmed; Snizzard and Time Force Blue WITH Vector Cycle!

WOW those look good!! I don't know a single thing about that monster but he looks sick, easily the best-looking monster figure so far. The chest opening into a mouth!!

The Vector Cycle looks amazing, but even more notable to me is that Timeblue looks to have drop-down hips?! He'd need them for riding the bike, but if that's a general change to figures going forward...

In Zyuranger, Dora Radoon (or Ladoon) attacked children to turn them into apples so Bandora could maintain her youth and beauty. Mei was poisoned early on cause her arrow is useful against it.

In Season 1, it was just a half snake and half lizard. It's clear that they intended to riff on the apple plotline from Zyuranger, but this was changed to Kim having to keep her uncle's plane from crashing. They freely called the adornment on his head a "zapper apple". Kim would naturally land the plane and save the others. Snizzard would try to use "tonsil snakes" before she snuffed them.

Snizzard: "Curse you and your Power Bow!"

The demise of Snizzard is different from Zyuranger. In Zyu, destroying the apple on his head with an arrow weakens him to nothing so that they can blast him. In MMPR, destroying the zapper apple is enough.

The suit held up well for years, allowing Snizzard to make multiple reappearances. He played the organ at Zedd and Rita's wedding!

Eventually, they would alter the suit into the Cobra Monster in Lightspeed that Ryan would have to fight to rid himself of the Cobra Tattoo!

Oh, and he was voiced by Bryan Cranston the first time!

I wouldn't get too excited about the drop down hips. Hasbro is known for doing a pretty poor job at implementing them into figures for their other lines(GI Joe being the biggest example).

Granted, if they do them properly it'll be a nice new feature to add, but chances are they won't.

So do people still think LC is dead or what?

At long last; Beast Morphers Yellow!

Fanstream just concluded. In addition to the previews for the next wave with BM Yellow and DC Blue, they also revealed that the final Ranger for the current wave, Wild Force Blue, will be going up for pre-order tomorrow. As well, the Yellow Ranger Movie Morpher will be a GameStop Exclusive just as the Pink Morpher was.

I'm glad this is being done after the female rangers started getting double jointed elbows.

As for fear that the line is in trouble, it is clear that this line doesn't have the same attention as "Marvel Legends" does and I wouldn't expect it to. I just hope it keeps chugging along. It is, however, hard for me to get excited over some of these releases as most of the time it's the same body with different accessories.

What I really want from this line are more figures like Finster, Lord Zedd, Goldar, etc. Figures that have detail and unique sculpting. Heck, even Alpha was more exciting to me than getting another figure in a team I already started. I want more figures done like the Tengas.

Obviously we need to complete teams in this line, but Hasbro is doing it the same way they do it in Marvel Legends. They tease and extend team completion out over a period of time. THat is fine when the team is composed of unique looking characters like X-Men, but I think PR collectors want their teams more or less at the same time. Just look how far apart the release of Time Force Red and Blue are.

Is Yellow using the DC Pink body or is she new? Something about her sculpt looks a million times better than every other girl in the line and it’s very exciting!

Either way, this now means that the starting teams of BM and DC are now complete! For completion BM is just missing Stag Buster while DC is missing the four extras. Really hope they do Kyoryu Silver…

Good question, actually. I believe it's a remold of the DC Pink body but it could very well be new. Guess we'll know for sure come next year when BM Yellow finally releases.

Beast Morphers yellow is an all new sculpt. Has to be due to the nature of the suit. Probably the reason it took so long to get her as it isn't just a basic repaint.

Whatever it is, please, Hasbro, for the love of god, PLEASE keep using as much of this mold as you can for all the ladies going forward.

BM Yellow looks fantastic! There's no way it's a reused sculpt.

I'm just happy to see another team is somewhat complete.

I guess it's true, complaining hard enough really will get results now and then.

I'm a bit put off on the inconsistencies on the Vector Cycle's hood decal in the package shot vs. the stock photography, but I'm happy to finally add Lucas to the collection.

Jen when.

Classified seems to be handling it alright as of the BAT. A bit stiffer than I'd like but I blame that on the materials, Hasbro uses a cheaper plastic than Bandai did back when drop-down hips were common in the SHF line.

My overall feelings aren't positive considering it took them three years to finish a team that was current when the line started (and even then it's missing an extra member), the lack of QC and inconsistent attention to detail, but I gleefully accept the new offerings.

Did the Vector Cycle always have giant Gatling guns on the side like that? I don't remember...

Yeah they're all like that, though what kind of weaponry varies from bike to bike.

Shame, looks like these can't be held by the figure like on the original.

D’OH! Wish Timeforce was spared from the deluxe releases. Don’t care much for the bikes, I just want the figures

See normally I'd be bothered but I have a special attachment to blue's Vector Cycle so I'm okay with this.

I wanted a GOOD Chun-Li. That's a SORT OF OK Chun-Li.

So will Snizzard still be way too big like the other monsters? He looks good though!

BM Yellow looks great like everyone has said! Now Silver, Hasbro. Please. Please finish this team.

A lot of teams now only need one or two for completion. BM needs Silver, Dino Thunder needs Black, SPD needs Yellow and Kat, Lost Galaxy needs Yellow and Pink... we might just see Wave 14 onwards and exclusives quickly snap down some of those full rosters

If current rumors/leaks are to be believed, then the next wave will be Beast Morphers Yellow, Dino Charge Blue, Dino Fury Green, and a Putrid from Wild Force.

Meanwhile, the wave after that is allegedly going to be Lost Galaxy Pink, Dino Thunder Black, SPD Yellow, and Dino Fury Blue.

If so that's a pretty solid spread. Would definitely buy a couple of Putrids for my mook army. Still hoping they reissue DT White someday.

Was kinda hoping the wild force villain would be Rouki, but more footsoldiers are always good. The wave after that looks real nice too -- finishing off Abaranger and SPD (aside from Kat, but y'know; the main six), continuing a solid pace on Dino Fury and leaving Lost Galaxy with only one member till completion

Turns out the next ZAP Megazord is the Astro Megaship!

Surprised that we'll be getting this before a ZAP Tyrannus, but I imagine the ex-Transformers staff found the idea of a spaceship that transforms into a giant robot too good of an opportunity to pass up.

I have a gut feeling Titanus will be a Haslab project

i would like to see a new ZAP Turbo Megazord.

Fantastic! Was so sure they'd just go through the MMPR seasons especially after Legacy. Even if In Space is a popular series it's encouraging to see them go outside MMPR

Oh! I'm pleasantly surprised that we're getting that before the Thunderzords or Titanus or whatever. You have my interest, Hasbro.

Given the trend of the past few HasLab projects, I sincerely hope that Power Rangers stays far away from that.

Have to admit, something about the style of this really grabs my attention and sells the line to me. Maybe it’s just because we’ve had like a gazillion MMPR Megazord toys before and it’s easy to glaze over another one no matter how good, but… but Galaxy Mega here just looks amazing to me? Incredibly top tier it’s just a really good super robot

This all day!

Given the overall quality of the ZAP Megazord, I have confidence that this will turn out just as good, if not better. Especially considering that the Astro Megazord isn't a combiner and thus has a lower chance of getting hit by the issues that combiner robot toys sometimes face.

For reference, the only major issue that the ZAP Megazord has is that there's no locking mechanism in the thighs, which makes dynamic posing for the legs a bit of a pain. I don't see that happening with the Astro Megaship.

This is fantastic. Looks great. Might have to bite the bullet and grab one.
A new Mega Voyager would definitely go great with this, too. Hint hint.

It's honestly one of those very complex looking simple designs. Remove all the sculpt and it's basic articulation. At long as everything is on ratchets, they should be good.

Delta Megazord needs to be next like Dragonzord.

Then they can swing back around with MegaVoyager.

Any return to MMPR though needs to be Shogun. That way I can stop complaining about it.

I would love to see SPD as the next ZAP release.

You and me both!

Them throwing an utter curveball and adding Hyper Force to the line would be awesome too, but I don't see that happening anytime soon.

I wonder if they might want to do something they could get an easy recolour out of? GoGoV/Lightspeed Rescue immediately comes to mind

I'd absolutely love a GoGoV release in this line. Those and the Gaoranger/Wild Force sets were my favorite megazords going up and I adore the little smp sets but I want something modern but with some size to it. that being said i'd prefer to see them make sets of the megazords the modeling project skipped first, like the thunderzords and megavoyager

I suspect wildforce would be the hardest to do for Zap. Where do you stop? Too many auxilary to be feasible

You stop when the sales drop off.

OR... all the Auxiliaries would make it a prime candidate for Haslab.

Not sure Hasbro is willing to brave a Haslab for Power Rangers
