Wow....Green looks....awful...rough...This can't be the final product.
All of them look rough...If this is what we're getting, something is definitely wrong... |
Aside from the lack of a white diamond on Green's chest I don't understand what's so wrong with these? The gold in particular looks fine to me and none of them seem to have any major problems.
|
I'm happy to finally get a single release Green as I hate that fighting spirit helmet. I guess ill try and get black too even though I already have the first release gold armor version.
The real issue here is once again distribution, local stores don't have the MMPR Blue wave and my local toy shop has had trouble getting the wave too |
Not having the white diamonds on Green Ranger is disappointing, especially since the first release has them. Just Hasbro pinching pennies where ever they can with this line. They started out being rather good, but recent releases show they are cutting back paint apps and seems to be using a cheaper factory considering all the complaints with paint app issues.
I loved the line when it first came out. I never owned a Marvel Legends figure, but when I got LC White Ranger and Zedd I was blown away and so I got into Legends because of how good the Wave 1 LC figures were. Now? Nothing but Rangers in every series and poor/missing paint apps. I had hope that each series would contain 1 villain. Now it seems like we won't get a villain if it means having to make a unique mold. |
Not a huge surprise that the Power Ranger line is full of Power Rangers.
If Power Rangers was just the one or two teams I'd think they focus on the baddies more. But it's not. There are loads of comments asking for this and that ranger. So yeah Hasbro is going to focus on the various rangers as a priority. But we do have like what 25 teams and 5-6 members. Though you are ignoring Goldar/Rita/Psychos/Blaze/Drakkon. The line in a quarter through year 2. The QC issues are no excuse but this line is still a toddler. |
I don't much understand the complaints about a lack of villains. Like, sure, it'd be cool but... it's also 100% to be expected? PR as a brand relies almost solely on the Rangers for marketing and is constantly where the money is, with very few if any villains outside of MMPR and [Current Series] being on that level. It doesn't help that a lot of them sadly aren't that memorable either, often being generic evil for the sake of evil characters with sick designs inherited from the Sentai. ... also skeletons, PR surprisingly finds a great niche in always designing cool skeletons.
What you're left with is a lot of unrecognisable unremarkable villains that won't sell and literal MOTWs. Go up to any Power Rangers fan and outside of a small handful of villains like Trakeena or Mesogog and they likely won't be able to name a lot of big bads. And frankly, we've gotten a LOT of villains in LC despite all this. A lot more than could reasonably be expected. |
On the topic of villains I'm actually surprised we haven't gotten a Scorpina figure yet, even as a GameStop exclusive or something, considering how oddly popular she's become over the years. Maybe when she's added to BFTG later this year.
|
It's not too surprising to me given they're keeping a slow enough pace with the MMPR villains. We got Zedd, then Goldar, then Putties, then Rita (who is still yet to get a standard release). Scorpina and Rito are the most likely ones next.

Honestly, Hasbro might be stretched a bit thin with all the toylines they've got going on. Their output is crazy right now. You've got Marvel Legends, you've got the Transformers line (both WFC and Studio Series are killing it), they've got Star Wars and now G.I. Joe Classified as well....
I wouldn't be surprised if Power Rangers is getting less money put into it than their other lines, since even they've said Power Rangers is a tier below the other stuff they're putting out. That being said, if certain cuts have to be made for the sake of the budget, I wish it wouldn't be in such obvious places, like DT White's helmet or Dino Charge Gold's color. I'm not a huge stickler for show accuracy so long as they generally capture the look of the character, but some mistakes have been pretty egregious. Honestly, I could take or leave the effects pieces if it meant better paint detailing or getting the signature weapons. |
