Arigathankyou my good man.

Stay rockin'.

Well since Shout Factory had gotten the Ranger line dating back to Zyu I've dumped Power Rangers and started again from Zyu. It's like wiping the slate clean of everything that was done.

I hope Shout Factory gets the remaining shows up to Ryu Soul. Aba is locked in.

After they bring over Ryu Soul it's time to move forward. I'll wait as long as it takes for that to happen.

I don't ever want the US to adapt any Toku again.

US Dragon Knight were the last ones to try it. That was 2009.

It was good that Saban had done Mystic Knights Of Tir Na Nog. That was fine cause the US made their own Toku.

I want the US to do their own shows rather than adapt from Japan. Let Toku be Toku and leave well enough alone.

we get it, you don't like Power Rangers now

That sound you heard was me fangirl squeeing so hard that I temporarily ceased to exist.

No other figure announcement for next year can get me this hype. Nothing else that can possibly come out matters.

If I get one figure in 2023, this is going to be it.

Yep, those figures certainly are blue.

That's Mo Ichido Baby Blue, thank you.

Yo finally! How long did you have to wait for this one?

If we're counting since the initial teaser, about a year. If we're counting since the announcement that he was definitely forthcoming, since February. If we're counting since the line started... three years.

And if we're counting how long I have to wait until I have my boy in hand... June 2023.

And to demonstrate how serious I am about this, I'm ordering four. One as a Desk Buddy, one to go on the SoB, one to go on the Samurai/Senshi display, and one to be repainted.

I've sometimes been thinking about buying one spare copy for safekeeping when it comes to certain toys, but four times? :lol

That's a bit excessive. But for the "Once in a lifetime figure of my favorite character ever" I can understand it.

What do you want to have it be repainted into?

And of course with the good news comes the bad. Had an interview this morning, was in the middle of filling out the post-interview assessment, get an email that they're "moving on with other candidates". This was all within an hour of each other.

"Nobody wants to work" my ass.
