Power Rangers From NYCC 2013
 

The news team at NYCC 2013 is reporting in and our first look from the show floor is MASSIVE! Currently on display at Bandia America's Power Rangers display:

- Legendary Morpher & Ranger Key Assortments
- 4" & 6" Classic and Megaforce Ranger figures
- Legacy Dragonzord in box
- Jumbo Sized Legacy Megazord
- Legacy Dragon Dagger!
- Super Megaforce Ranger Gear and Weapons
- Legacy Mask Collection
- Legacy Morpher
- Several DX megazord components are also on display including US versions of Gaolion and Patstriker! It would also appear that Bandai is creating more vehciles which homage other Ranger seasons to upgrade the legendary megazord. Notice the Super Megaforce Red riding a Red Zeo Battlezord vehicle?

And perhaps the biggest news so far. The SDCC 2013 Gold Legacy Morpher exclusive, featuring both Green & White Ranger Power Coins, will be available at Toys R Us!!

More pics.

Is that.. Is Gokai Legendary Red surfing Red Battlezord add-on parts?!

I KNEW they'd end up selling the gold legacy morpher at TRU eventually.

So who's gonna be at NYCC?

Wow. The Super Megaforce line looks bad. Poor Gaolion/Red Lion, we can tell from the awkward Heaven Kanji that Gokaioh's opening gimmick is definitely nixed and the huge feet sticking out of Magidragon's sides are bizarre. Patstriker also looks to be extremely lacking detail. The keys are looking as bad as they did when they were first revealed too. Really, though, I can't believe they cut Gokaioh's opening gimmick. Like, that's just pathetic.

What's with the weird Zeo zord and those tiny megazords, though? At first I was excited that there'd be a PR-exclusive Zeo ultimate power, but the fact its clearly a retool of Patstriker down to the back wheels being the same quickly crushed that excitement. It'll definitely be toy exclusive. The red gloves are pretty strange too, considering the suits have white gloves.

On to the positive, confirmation that the gold morpher will be available to everyone is just awesome, that's something to be excited about and the 4" look pretty decent and I'll probably get a set to keep in box, even though I have the Figuarts.

I'm really disappointed. While it still wasn't BOJ level, Megaforce really picked up the ball compared to Samurai, but it looks like they've dropped it for Super Megaforce.

Legacy Morpher coming to TRU!?

FUCK. AND. YES.

Still super pumped about that jumbo Megazord. Can't wait to get that and put it on my top shelf on my deltolf with the 5 MMPR SHF's.

So juiced.

WOAH.

Even I have to admit that using other Power Ranger shows for inspriation to create more mecha is genius. That vehicle Gokai/Super Megaforce Red is riding is a stylized Red Battlezord from Zeo! BOA may actually be making upgrade powers for the Megazord not present in Gokaiger!

Gold morpher in TRU - Well, guess I'm not buying the Legacy morpher now.

Morpher/keys - Like I said, give me team-specific callouts/sounds and I will 100% buy. They can be repurposed Gosei morpher sounds for all I care.

Zords - Eh, sure they're watered down from the Japanese versions but different markets/standards/whatever. I had no intention of buying the Megazord, but I'm VERY curious to see how those Zeo parts look on it. The vehicle mode is a little silly but there's definitely some cool potential there.

If they do that with more seasons I may even be tempted to buy these things. It's ingenious. Even if the toys aren't as nice as the BOJ ones I can get behind some original work like that.

Yes! Just when I thought I would build my own Legacy Gold Morpher, this come out for preorder! Yes!

Definitely. Its nice to see the toy-only stuff being something really cool rather than the weird stuff we got during Samurai. There's quite a bit of grand power potential here and I'd love to see how BOA tackles it.

HOLY CRAP YES YES YES I NEED ALL OF THIS!

I'm so excited right now.

Good, glad I didnt hallucinate that :lol

I'd say I feel bad for the people who paid a billion dollars for the gold plated White/Green Morpher... but I don't.

I wonder if there are any SuperMegaForce Armored Might guys coming... they have their own goofy charm.

Edit: Nm, didn't see the like 9th pic. Marvellous is jacked up, haha.

Things that worry me - still no placard advertising a release date or retail partner for the Legacy Dragonzord. And still no prototype or working test shot.

We will have more pictures later on today of some of the newer stuff. The guys were ... well, pictures weren't available to be taken until the start of the show, so give our boots on the ground guys some love for gambling with risks :)

hell yes to the gold morpher at TRU I hope I can get one, but omigod look at that horrendous Gokai Gun the sword looks fine but the gun is just unbelievably ugly

I cant help but wonder what a lot of you are expecting..the PR toys have been like this for years and its not changing. These are toys that are marketed to kids from like pre school and up...honestly I said the same thing about the samurai zords my friend showed me but when put into certain modes the zord builder is not that far off from off its look same goes for the Gosei great and its auxiliary pieces. We knew from the get go that Gokai-Oh's opening gimmick would be nixed so dont act all "oh im disappointed because bandai didnt change what they have been doing for the last couple of years" The keys are not terrible and the head sculpts for them are better than Japans. and at least Blazing lion is somewhat to scale with its counter part. Seriously he could of been brought down to Delta Runner one or Mystic Dragon stature. and if the detail bothers you then paint it..At least we can agree on the Gold legacy morpher.

The packaging for the Legendary Megazord is pretty bland, but eh. I still want to get it for a placeholder until I get Gokaioh.

Not to start this again but.. Uh.. Anyword on Lord Zedd :lol

But those were fancier. The SDCC morpher had gold plating on the morpher as well as coins. This regular release is just gold. and has similar weathering on the coins to the standard legacy.

Fuck me. How the spear is held in the Mega Dragonzord is still just the plastic/rubber "S" shape. Damn.

Huge thanks to the guys/gals on the ground getting these pictures under the threat of giant monster invasion. :)

Keys: I like the look of them. Hopefully we get some from before MMPR

Figures: They look way to beefy for my taste but that's what the american market likes. Wonder if we'll ever get any of the female rangers in the bigger figures.

Role-Play: I don't like them but then again, I've never liked role=play toys.

Mask Collection: I'm going to have to pick them up. The sillyness factor of them is limitless.

Legacy Morpher: REALLY glad I didn't spring for one earlier.

Green Ranger Stuff: Super excited for the dagger and the Dragonzord but also very, very worried as we have not seen anything of the actual toys. Just boxes. Will wait and see.

Jumbo Megazord: Freak awesome! 2' tall and it transforms into the dino tank. It will be mine...oh yes.

Megazord: I'm not surprised in the least that the chest gimmick has been removed from the figures. Bandai is most likely saving a ton of $$$ per figure by taking that feature out. Sadly what we are left with are ugly, black pegs. And that's a shame because it takes away from what would be a really good looking figure otherwise. Also, the weapon zords don't look that great. They appear to be of very poor quality but I will wait to truly judge them until I get my hands on them. One thing I can say I like is the idea that their will be a bunch of extra weapon zords that were not in Gokaiger. That has me a bit excited. We shall see.

Overall a decent showing but the above are my knee-jerk reactions to the pics. Final judgement will wait until I get a chance to review them.

I'll have to disagree on the Ranger Keys. Personally there's nothing wrong with the Japanese keys and this feels like a case of trying to fix what isn't broken. They're smaller, thicker, and less accurate for the sake of a flip gimmick that isn't all that necessary. I'll give BOA credit if they carry through with upgrade components for the megazord that were not present in Gokaiger though. That's unique and creative and is actually a way to convince me and other skeptics to buy their stuff again, just to see how crazy they can get with inventing new Grand Powers.

But I don't think it's unfair for people to expect BOA to step their game up at some point either. There's a small portion of that here that definitely looks improved, but much of what we see is more of the same. The Legacy stuff is aimed at collectors, as are the Japanese imports of Shinken Oh and Gosei Great. Personally I'd like to see them move more in that direction, especially since it's obvious that those products sell very well.

And sure, you really can make their DX releases look somewhat like the toys and on screen mecha they're meant to represent. But they can never transform properly as they should, which can be a huge disappointment to people. They just don't hold up as compared to the originals. But look at the target demographic in Japan for Sentai vs here. Roughly the same age groups with massive differences in toy quality.

Really quick I want to touch on the gun/blaster, and while it does look terrible I can see why they did it like that. to cut cost and there is no way they were going to get away with how it originally looked.

You know what I take as a good sign? None of them become a Spider. *Eyes Lantern Zord*

Wondering what's going on with the little zords in front of the Megazord. It looks like they're using keys as weapons. It'd be cool if they somehow integrated the keys into Zordbuilder, but this just looks like an isolated case. Also, added key functionality on the lion. That's radical.

Those are still just pictures of the 90's toys on the Dragonzord box.

I definitely agree here, they could've just copied the one-click mold. That's what they should have done. Unless that Morpher makes some kick-ass sounds, I'm probably passing. Might still get a few keys. Just to have a funny display.

I want a better look at them. They look extra tiny. I've been wanting the Gokai Gun and Saber for quite some time. I was hoping this would be a good alternative, but it's not looking that way. The Gokai weapons are much too expensive at this point. I got into Super Sentai toys just a few months too late....

One thing I'm not surprised but very glad to see, Super Megaforce Masks. I'm definitely picking up Green. I hated the mega mode samurai green mask. It looked stupid. But now we get a normal green. And one of my favorites at that. It may not fit me, but I'll still probably wear it for kicks.

Thank god.

I see a lot of zord builder possibilities. :D

I called a mass release for the Green/White Ranger morpher, sold already. Still getting Legacy Dragonzord to go with 2010 Megazord, and interested in Legendary Megazord too.

Do they STILL not have prototypes for the Legacy Dragonzord & Dragon Dagger?

Part of me wonders if Bandai's trolling us and those two will never actually be released.

I sure hope not. I've been racking up the 10% back at TRU. I was hoping it would release before that gift card expires on January 25. But I'm probably out of luck. I may use it on a gold morpher instead. We'll see.

Speculation that the Toys'R'Us exclusive Green and White Ranger Legacy Morpher will not have 24K plated gold on it, just vacuum gold instead. What do you guys think?

Makes sense. Its a good way to distinguish from the SDCC release and its potentially a cost-saving method for Bandai.

If you already have the SDCC version, will you get the TRU version?

I might have to. My display case could use a Green Ranger morpher and a White Ranger morpher for my set-up. Then again, it would also mean I have to go buy 4 more Legacy Morphers for the other Rangers :(

I never got the SDCC version, I hoped they would release it retail and my prayers have been answered! Thank you BOA! I cant wait to get this thing! I love the coins will match the normal LM, and the gold plating I can live without, if its still shiny itll be good. :lol

Gahh!!! My mind is imploding right now with all these awesome toys. I will truly go bankrupt after 2014... guess i better prepare for this doomsday

The Red Zeo add-on vehicle is VERY interesting.

The morbirate/Morpher actually looks pretty good... I just hope the Gokai Celluar isn't majorly watered down like Gosei/Robo Knights morpher was.

Can't wait to go key hunting for this line though! :D
