SH Figuarts Pteraranger Confirmed for October Web Exclusive Release
 

You saw the leaked image this morning, but it's now confirmed that coming this October we will be getting the SH Figuarts Pink Zyuranger Pteraranger figure! The figure will be a Webshop Exclusive and releasing in October.

Check out the images for the accessories. The price has yet to be determined. The question now is ... will Bluefin Tamashii be bringing it to the United States as the Mighty Morphin Pink Power Ranger? Stay tuned...

S.H. Figuarts Pteraranger Image Leaked
 

What seems to be an official image an S.H. Figuarts Pteraranger (Mighty Morphin Pink Ranger) has leaked online. While there is currently no confirmed information about her release, it is more than likely she is a Tamashii Web Shop exclusive and this leak is similar to the Phoenix and Medusa Phantom ones we've seen in previous months. We'll keep you posted as more information comes!

In the meantime, check out the image after the jump!

It seems that this is a webshop exclusive and that it is an October exclusive at that. There are no Akibaparts (Nor should there be) and Bluefin will be bringing this over.

Yay! It's Mei! That's awesome, looks absolutely great! I hope the rest of the Zyurangers follow quickly! Goushi next, please.

I don't know about this "Mei" you speak of Starscream, but Kimberly Hart is in the house and ready to get morphinominal up in here! :D

Wouldn't surprise me if this ended up being a web exclusive. Still, can't wait!

My inner child went squee. I wonder how yellow/tigerranger will be treated.

Of course it's a web exclusive in Japan, but of course Bluefin's going to bring it over too. I'm really surprised they're going with her before Black and Blue, though.

Yeah, Bluefin release seems all the more likely.

If it's going to be a web exclusive, where would a Canadian be able to pre-order it? I know BBTS woud probably have the bluefin one but shipping is so much there. Haha. Either way can't wait!

The same as every other ranger. A male buck like he is supposed to have.

Is it me, or do her boobs look oddly proportioned?

As in bigger than I remember...

The only figures that would have Akiba parts anyway were Tyranno and Dragon. I don't think there was ever any speculation that the other Zyurangers would come with something. Tyranno & Dragon just come with their "Powerful Rangers" alternate parts anyway. Though I'd love to see all 6 decked out in that :lol
This. No reason whatsoever for Tamashii to use a female buck for Tigerraanger. Yes the character was treated as female in the US but the costume didn't feature a skirt and the costume is clearly the same as the other 4 male costumes from Zyuranger. I don't think Tamashii would produce an alternate skirt piece for Tiger when that skirt was never really there anyway. It's one thing to produce accessories the characters actually had, but in this case I doubt it and don't really think it's necessary.

They did in Gokaiger and every promo picture of MMPR shows her as a girl.

I'll laugh hard if they release a Female version of Tiger Ranger before the male version.

I'ts a normal female Sentai Figuarts boobs size, not too big like Bandai America's... :P

Not really. In Gokaiger if you were male and Gokai changed into a female costume it would be augmented to male accordingly, same thing if you went female to male. Like the all Silver Gokai Change that gave Mega Silver a Skirt. Or the all pink Gokai change that made Pterra Ranger a male costume. So when one of the girls changed into Tiger Ranger, sure, it had a skirt. But that was because all the costumes changed according to their user. It never actually looked like in Zyuranger.

That's not the same thing as the actual character Tigerranger never being a woman at all. Tamashii has no incentive to make a skirt for that figure other than US fans who I guess would rather make it more "correct" to them since yellow was female here. But it really doesn't make a ton of sense you know? All the stock footage for MMPR didn't feature a skirt because it was footage of a male character.

Last I heard from the official side of things (and bear in mind this was months ago) they were unsure whether to do two different releases or not, one as Female Body with no skirt and one as Male. Personally I think doing two different releases is a waste of time and resources that could go to something that people would actually want outside of MMPR Season 2/3 Purists.

I prefer a male buck, or at least skirtless, only cause thats the way it should be. But it would be nice if they made yellow a little less manly

So does that mean if we ever got Magired we'd have a skirt? Gekired? Will Magiblue and Hurricaneblue have a male buck? Is the Blue Swallow coming out going to have a male buck?

No. Tigerranger will be male as should be. Even for MMPR fans, the Yellow Ranger always clearly male in suit. Male Yellow suit is accurate to both, a female buck/skirt is just not going to happen.

Also, we've already seen Tigerranger in the Akibaranger ad. It's a male buck.

Nah, you're confused. It's definitely Mei :P

Or Kat.

And what will you do when they inevitably never release a female version at all?

Interesting that Ptera Ranger is coming first.. I don't suppose that means all the guys are getting regular releases?

It is probably because Pink Ranger is the most popular MMPR after Green and Red. Bandai likely aren't ignorant to how popular these guys will be to Power Ranger fans.

Shrug it off and buy tiger ranger anyways.:p

I decided from the start when Dragon and Tyrano got announced that I'm going to be going completist with the MMPR guys.

Just to end the "gender body" discussion:

http://i1268.photobucket.com/albums/...ps9d069988.jpg

Top left, in between Pteraranger and Mammothranger, there's Tigerranger. Male body, as it should be and was always going to be.

Yay, it's Mei! I honestly won't buy all of the MMPR and Zyuranger ones, but she is one I'd like to have. Especially considering Kimberly was kinda one of my first child celebrity crushes.

Kimberly's lookign good, but something about the visor seems off. Maybe just the angle since it's looking down a bit?

But Trini wasn't a guy! Neither was Aiesha!

And? This is a figure based on a man.

Kat!

Who cares? Figuarts are first and foremost Sentai figures that are imported to America, not Power Rangers figures. Boi/Tigerranger is male. The stock footage used for the Yellow MMPR is also clearly male, unless you're blind. So even MMPR fans are getting an accurate to the screen figure. There was never going to be a female body used.

This conversation is beyond pointless, as I posted above, we know that Tigerranger is going to use a male buck, there should've never been any doubt. A female Tigerranger had just as much chance as a male Blue Swallow and a male Ptera Ranger. The only time the Tigerranger was ever female in Sentai was when Luka was using Boi's powers. And even then, it had a skirt, which again, the figure wouldn't ever have.

EDIT: Although maybe you're trying to be funny by pretending Sentai doesn't exist, in which case I missed the point and this is awkward for me.

I sure am excited about this figure. Can't wait!

About the whole Tiger Ranger/ Trini debate. I totally understand the situation with him/her. It would sure be swell if we got an American female version, but I won't expect it. I was ready for a Manly Trini figure from the get-go.

I don't even get why MMPR "purists" want Tigerranger to have a female body anyway. Yellow Ranger had a very obviously male body, even if a girl's voice was speaking. The toy is screen-accurate to both shows anyway. Us Sentai fans get Boi, MMPR fans get Aiesha (or Trini if you go that way)! Everyone wins.

They want a Gokaiger version?

Twincest maybe?

I want an "American footage" version of the yellow ranger for the Bluefin release. (She was a woman in the US filmed footage).

Note, that doesn't mean I don't want a male Tiger Ranger. I'd gladly buy both. But I want my Trini to have a female buck.

A Gokaiger version would have the skirt, so it still wouldn't be accurate to MMPR.

Remember when I said to not take things so seriously in the HurricaneRed thread?
Apply this to here.
He was joking, guys.
Damn.

I was gonna make the same "Boi should come with a skirt accessory" joke here, but seeing how defensive you all get at even the mildest implication of Tigerranger having a female body, I'd probably get pounced on, too.

Footage accurate or not. I just want my Yellow Ranger to have tits. I am an American and dammit and I demand boobs!

Hence the last sentence? It's difficult to decipher the serious with the not serious on the internet, which is why I put that last sentence there, but ignore it, whatever.

Besides, toys are serious business.

blufin did mention they were bringing more girls characters lately

I only read half the post. :p
I saw 2 paragraphs worth of complaining over the line "But Trini wasn't a guy."

I know it can be difficult to tell if someone is joking or being sarcastic on the internet (I've futzed it up, too), but it was fairly obvious in this occasion.

And that doesn't change the intent of my post. You went on a wild rant over nothing.

this whole debate is hilarious. TigerRanger will be male end of story, count youre blessings if we ever get a female version (which we never will)

that said maybe its the picture but does the pink look quite purpley?
