Hear hear.

I wasn't too upset with the 6.5 scale. Yeah they're bigger than my legends which is unfortunate but I liked the figures on their own and that was enough. It was impossible to find the first wave. But I was way happier with them than the 5 inch. They just fit my tastes more. What killed my enthusiasm first was the lack of accessories. I don't need an unmasked head, but they need their weapons and I've been fervently buying the metallic wave. What killed it second was Bandais poor distribution and pack numbers. The third strike is this paint.

I want Thunder ninjas, I want a titanium ranger, I want the girl figures. But I want them complete with the weapons. Get rid of the dumb baz and we'll talk but I've been burned on the weapons already. Legacy Zords, highly articulated figures, and maybe morphers. I'll buy them all, but don't sell me hot garbage when I look at your competitors and know better. It's why I can't give Mattel my money.

How much longer till the first Super Ninja Steel toys pop up?

They're already out. I know one reviewer on YT who reviewed some new morpher.

I'm just in it for the Megazords, really. I've learned to buy BoJ for the mainline, though. The whole argument that parents won't spend more than $35 for a Megazord is BS. Hasbro keeps churning out Leader Class Transformers that sell between $40-50 and folks buy those. There's simply no reason not to release a high-quality $50 Megazord these days.

Shoot they could even do like Transformers does and have the simpler, cheaper on for the kids, and the fully articulated, expensive one for die hard fans.

you also always see those Leader Class TF's on clearance, too, when they don't sell.

I remember Brawl (the tank) for like a year and a half was everywhere on clearance.

The Deluxe and Voyager sizes sell a lot better.

(I've never owned a Megazord idk how big or complicated they're supposed to be. The ones I see posted, to my eyes look pretty boxy and simple. But I take it to mean that's the aesthetic design on the show.)

So now to add on. I'm getting comments from folks on reddit that the new waves removed articulation in the forearms and shins.

Bandai really is trying to screw this line.


Bandai if you do not want this line, just issue an apology and cancel it.

Finish Zeo, Dinothunder, Space, and Ninjastorm.

Don't bother with the Psycho rangers. Though I'm sure the prospect if 5 figures with the exact same build but different paint is appealing. Though I'm sure they want porn Pink/Yellow bodies.

BOA isn't just dropping the ball. It's dropped it and decided to defecate on it.

It's hit and miss on the Leader class bots on sales. But I guarantee you, people are buying them enough to justify their continued existence.

And Megazords are far less complicated than Transformers, nowadays. No reason to not have $50 premium Megazords.

Bandai America sure does love being cheap, don't they?

Hasbro barely releases leader class figures now though. Heck for a long time you were lucky if you got one in a line.

Except they've tried that three times now first with Jungle Fury, then with Samurai and finally with Megaforce. And each time the cheap one sold while the high end one shelf warmed.
