Also, can I nominate raz for a Newsie badge thingy? Or is there a prerequisite of news reporting that has yet to be met?

Looks sweet! I wouldn't buying one of these.

So.. what is point of these exactly? They look cool, but what can you do with them? There just mini replica masks. Be neat if were on a figure or something.

I'm glad someone said this, I was getting kinda worried as I scrolled through the thread. Although not expensive, why do you want little replica versions of the MMPR helmets? You can't wear them, or use them in any way, they'll just sit there but given the size of them, they don't even seem all that impressive just for display purposes either.

For the same thing you'd do with any non 1:1 scale mask.
For interesting displays and what not.

I didn't even know they sold these kind of things outside of like...boardgames, they seem totally pointless to me. If I was going to display a helmet at all, I'd get a much bigger one than these.

Sometimes you have a budget? *Shrugs*

Yeah but with how few of these there'll be before scalpers get them all, that doesn't even count.

True...I don't really know, considering I won't be getting them.
Maybe someone with a specific display will be able to find the perfect space to place them.

They certainly proved the power of MMPR nostalgiabaiting. Just a shame pretty much none of the rest of the franchise is getting a look in.

Is all the others available as well? If I could all the mask from every series I would. Otherwise no point for me. Btw is there somewhere to buy power rangers mask of older series? Small or life size?

Well, it's fairly shameless, but it's getting results...

I had always hoped to assemble a display like this but I never got around to tracking them down

The Legacy set is definitely something to help accent a display, like an all MMPR area or just the desk area (like I intend to).

I can see how people would be uninterested; it's the same way I feel with the mini Green Lantern Power Batteries that were released. Sure they function and retain basic details of the 1:1 scale but I'd rather just have one full sized.

When I have the moula & space to spare for a 1:1 helmet I'll surely pick one up, but just one, maybe 2 at the most. Maybe it's the size of them that's the novelty? I really don't know but yeah, budget might have something to do with it haha.

I'll probably pick up 2 sets since they're on sale. If they show up before the sale ends. Though they'll be part of my Zyuranger display. It's nice to have a small representation to go with figures. I did want to display them with ranger keys, but the zyuranger keys are much too expensive. Even for the 3 I'm missing. This will be a nice alternative. If I had more money I'd buy all the OOO masks. I think they've made a lot more rider masks than Sentai.

You see that would make sense to me, if I could get a complete set of every helmet then I reckon that'd be a pretty rockin' little display. But just of the six MMPR helmets (for some reason White Ranger isn't included)? This is clearly for the MMPR nostalgia fan and very few people else.

In Japan, all 36 of the Red Masks were available and were blind-packed into little boxes.
Internationally, all that are being released are the 6 Zyu/MMPR masks.

I sorta agree it's a bit pointless, in Japan, part of the pull was collecting them and the end result is an impressive display that celebrates all 36 seasons, rather then just 6 masks with nothing else to go with.

I wanted to collect the 36 Masks, but they're pretty darn pricey now, especially for popular seasons.

He also posted pictures of the megablocks set for MMPR I might be picking these up too.

I can see the appeal of this set. Yes it is intended for a specific audience, but i dont think thats a bad thing. These will look sweet next to my figuarts. While it would be nice to have all the masks in the same manner as japan, that would be a waste for bandai. Lets be honest, the only Power ranger seires that has any amount of weight behind it is MMPR, simply cause of the huge nostalgia factor. Bandai played it safe and went with MMPR cause of that, if it sells they might make more but I doubt it.

MMPR is the only one with weight, because it's the only one this 'twenty years of Power Rangers' anniversary has been pushing. There are many seasons loved by fans, and non fans, alike and I find it very frustrating that one of the worst iterations of the franchise is getting the majority of the push simply on the principle of those who hate the franchise but bum MMPR because they watched it as kids, and 90stalgia is cool right now.

So is there any chance in hell we'll get RPM or Jungle Fury of these? I seriousl want any damn thing from those two series.

I just honestly don't see the point. They're small, overpriced, and you cant do anything with them. Figures I can justify. You can pose them, pool around with them on your desk. But little plastic helmets are a little harder when you're on a budget.

Oh...I'd buy those day one.
If it included Rio and Mele, I'd have them before they were even released.

$5 a helmet doesn't seem overpriced considering the BoJ box sets factored out to the same price (well, sans shipping & current aftermarket). I don't know, people say the same thing about DC Direct/Collectibles figures and it's a personal thing I justify by I'm not a fan of Mattel's sculpts.

It'd be pretty sweet if BoA could release the HDM figures here (or whatever the sentai equivalent was called)
