New Images of 5 inch Legacy MMPR Figures

Believe these are exclusive to TRU.

Again, thanks to raz.

Aren't they always TRU exclusives.. Gr.

Meh...

These are the figures we saw in-hand at Toy Fair. And since they're part of the Legacy series, most likely they will be TRU Exclusive.

Yawn.

Y'know, while I appreciate Bandai's effort in all the Legacy stuff, especially the Morphers and Megazords, 5"-6" figures just seem to be a wasted venture.

I mean, the Legacy line is made for nostalgic collectors, and they've GOT to know that the collectors with MMPR nostalgia are buying the SH Figuarts...

True, but if that person with MMPR nostalgia possibly has a kid and wants to share that with them, they aren't going to let the kid play with a $35+ figure that's pretty much meant for display purposes. Perhaps these are suppose to be the kid friendly figures for nostalgic people to get to either give to a child to share the nostalgia, or their way of trying to milk the nostalgia for all it's worth and hope people buy both.

They were TRU exclusive, I think. Don't quote me on that since the Dragon Dagger, Gosei Great and Dragonzord have been released from TRU's hold.

Here's the info:

TRU Price: $16.99
Bandai Assortment: 96970
Tru Item #: 859359
Case Count: 12

96971 Armored MMPR Red (Fall 2014) (UPC: 045557969714)
96972 MMPR Black (Fall 2014)
96973 MMPR Blue (Fall 2014)
96974 MMPR Yellow (Fall 2014)
96975 MMPR Pink (Fall 2014)
96976 MMPR Green (Fall 2014)
96977 MMPR White (Fall 2014)
96978 Lord Zedd (Fall 2014)

Still a total waste of time. We've got the Armored Might Red/Green/White for that already plus the normal 5" and the 4" 2010 line already if they were really desperate.

The only thing that really sells me on these is that they have some figures in the range that Figuarts may never touch with the way they go about it. These two new revealed figures, are admittedly pointless though.

Is settling on a line of figures where each wave releases mostly the same figures just with varying degrees of accuracy, quality, articulation and scale worth settling on? Probably not, but these things are also relatively inexpensive. So for now.

These two are separate from the normal 5" line that includes all those Reds and Robo Knight. These two are part of the Legacy line like the Megazords, Morphers and Dragon Dagger so they're likely exclusive and have a "collector tax" on them. They appear to have a few more paint apps on the weapons to make up for it but they're just wholly redundant when compared to the Figuarts line for collectors.

Every collector doesn't buy Figuarts...

since when are dragon dagger and dragonzord released from TRUs hold?

Well then they can buy the Armored Might MMPR Red, Green and White. Or the 5" MMPR Red or Green. or the 4" Metallic MMPR White. Or anything from the different 4" MMPR 2010 figures.

These releases are pointless. I could understand if they were part of the 5" line, but releasing them separately as Legacy items is stupid.

Pointless to you, yes. Don't buy them if you think they're pointless. There will be people who buy these for certain.

I love the 5 inch series.

Too poor for the S.H. figures, and this morning was the first time in years I've been able to walk into a store and leave with a decent MMPR Green and Red. Never saw the other releases.

I can't wait to complete the team with the legacy figures, though I do agree the jump in price from $8.99 to $16 is a bit ridiculous, but i'll take it if that's what gets me a blue ranger.

I also picked up the Armored Might MMPR Red and honestly? Not a huge fan. Too big, too roided up.
