Incorporate some of the articulation from the Arms Change/Module Change/Combo Change/etc. figures into the PR toys!

I agree on everything but the fingers. I hate the articulated fingers.

Yup.

True, they do cut corners, would the extra pieces needed for bicep swivel really break the bank?

Obviously so. They cut corners on everything. Look at the Legacy line, they cut corners on testing, thus the issues with the Megazords.

Something has to be given up when all those cool muscles have to be added, lol.

I have not seen or handled any of the legacy stuff. What are the issues with the megazords?

Too much diecast.

How hard would it be to reuse those molds for BOA releases, I mean come on!

Left hand vs. Right hand.

This. And a lack of thought out solutions for said issues.

It's more like a lack of actual planning. They're trying to make them both collector and play-friendly and coming up short on both counts- exemplified in the Dragonzord.

Too true. I've heard that before, and see no fault in that line of thought. Strange, that a multi billion dollar company can't figure this out with all the resources at their disposal.

Happy Halloween!

Legacy Pink came in the mail today (along with my first two packs of Tamishii stands!), now I just have to wait for the other three who should be here tomorrow:

That looks like the same Pink Ranger that came out in 2010.

It irks me how the gun is on the wrong side for Jason. They make enough of these MMPR toys, you'd think they pay attention to something like that.

Tell me about it, that's bugged me for months. it'll only get worse now that the rest of the team will be here today.

Why is the gun on that side?

The belt was made incorrectly, they put the peg hole on the wrong side. I'm surprised that wasn't fixed with the newer releases of MMPR Red from Wave 6.

You know what's been making me a little bonkers? How come Zeo Gold has a peghole in his belt?

My assumption is, that it's the MMPR effect. When they made them, someone said "just add 'em to all the figures". It's a lack of attention to detail. But for this line, I'm not surprised.

I imagine they probably just reused Zeo Red's body as much as possible, including the belt.

Rest of the team came in the mail today:

I took this for a class project called Dreamscape. My professor said I should put a sewing machine in the photo. I don't get that, I hate art classes sometimes.

I wouldn't say a sewing machine, but an Iron would really work well in that photo.

I'm not even kidding.

FLCL 4 LYFE.

Why a sewing machine?

an Iron?.....Man?

I don't know she just says random things and then fails at explaining what she is talking about.

I have no idea why it double posted.....

Theo: I didn't do it!!

Daigo: *facepalm*

Genta: We don't ha.....

Theo walks in with a new visitor.

Genta: Theo, who the heck is that?

Theo: It's my new friend, Steve!

Steve: 'MURICA!!!

Genta: Why do I even bother......

Daigo: Theo, you and your friend have exactly three seconds before I fire my Gaburivolver. I also have an Ovirappoo zyudenchi loaded into it.

Everyone except for Daigo runs away. Daigo chuckles and spins the gun on his finger, accidentally hitting the trigger...

How do you get the swirls to not go through some of the figures?

I take two photos one just with the figures and one with the light and figures and I combine them I photoshop.

THAT'S the secret! Been going nuts trying to do that lol

Troy looks around nervously, and Daigo immediately stands up and aims his gun at Troy.

Genta: Daigo! No!

Daigo: You are not welcome here!

Troy: Oh crap..... Look, I just came here to deliver a message!

Daigo: What message?

Troy: And old friend of yours is going to arrive here next week. He said his name was..... Phil?

Daigo pauses for a moment.

Daigo: Welp.... we're doomed.

To Be Continued....

What happened to Red Samurai's leg? Did it actually break or are they like balljoints so that was intentionally done for the comic and the figure is actually OK?

The leg actually broke off. :(

Oof. Gonna get a replacement?
