Those...those are fucking awesome!!

Wowza! MMPR merch that I DON'T consider a nostalgia shill!

Maybe on the after-market but definitely not worth standing in the line for.

Indeed. But it would ne cool to have.

Plus it has an actual raison d'être: DINOSAUR SEASON!!

I'd just want Black and Pink lol

ok Bandai good job, that is a GOOD MMPR idea

I appreciate the minimal amount of effort Saban and Bandai put forth to make something a little bit original. Also, here's a pic.

Meh. It looks cool, but at this point Im tired of MMPR stuff. Good luck to those who want it.

Much as I'd actually want to get these, I really got to shake my head at Sabah and bandai. No wonder you can't make any money off of other season you've spent twenty years saying MM is the only one that matters

Well they look cool, but I'll rather put my money towards other things.

Also does Saban have any say in this? If not then people better not start blaming them.

I want to be pissed because it's more MMPR nostalgia pandering bull, buuuuut...

This one kinda works. Not bad.

I kind of want Movie Ranger Keys instead :lol

Those look kinda cool. More casuals like MMPR over the other seasons, so we are going to get more MMPR nostalgia no matter what sadly.

I'm sorry but this is just idiotic and repetitive.

Meh. Al they going to say in the morpher is comic con so it not even worth pick up.

What's sadder is I could probably see them re-releasing this at retail.

What's even sadder is that i'd most likely buy it if they did.

Yeah, everybody wants MMPR to die off. But it'll never happen. Know why? Because it was a franchise starter here in America. So it'll be around in some form or fashion for a very, very, very long time. Probably even after the oldest of us are dead and gone.

Nice looking set. Not something I need to get, but they could make an interesting addition to a display. If these were a retail release I would likely get them.

I must be a rarity on here, cause I'm more than happy to see MMPR get a lot of attention. It's what I grew up on, and will always be an important piece of my cildhood memories. The more ways I can celebrate a series so close to my heart, the better.

We've just had enough of it. There are over 20 series worth of other materials to draw from rather than the same 6 characters/7 costumes over and over and over and over ad infinitum. It's just old and repetitive at this point.

I love MMPR, I was just putting forth my thought on the scenario. MMPR will always be one of my favorite PR sets. ^_^

Exclusives list just so you know...

SDCC 2012
- Power Rangers Super Samurai Figure Set with Megazord Cockpit Stands

SDCC 2013
- Legacy Morpher 24K Gold Tommy Edtion
- 4" Legacy Green Ranger Figure (with Megazord coin)
- Tokyo Vinyl MMPR Green Ranger

SDCC 2014

NYCC 2014
- Legacy Tommy Ranger Keys

SDCC 2015
- Legacy Saba Saber (yet to be revealed)
- Mighty Morphin Dino Chargers
- Tokyo Vinyl White Ranger

That's 10 items in the last 4 years between SDCC/NYCC out of 11 items total that have been MMPR themed. Granted, no one bought the Samurai set (they literally were offering to other vendors pre-show).

A lot of fans would just like to see something new and different. I know a lot of fans would love Dino Charge Ranger Keys. Or even something simple like a repaint of an auxiliary zord. Instead we get gold plated Tommy merchandise and all merchandise is MMPR themed in some way, shape, or form.

You're not.


It also seems to me like if they do give other seasons love, it's not exactly a success. I love the Samurai figuarts 5-pack. Was really glad they did that. To me it doesn't seem like it sold very well since so many places had it for sale and it got hella discounted down the road. It would be cool to see more seasons get exclusives, but it just won't sell as much as MMPR.

MMPR Chargers. I like that i want this to come to stores one day.

MM was my childhood and I had all the toys, I taped every episode but I'm just bored of it now. It's been what 3 years of legacy line products and every thing is MM season 1 and only white ranger related season 2 products. Where's thunder, ninja and shogun sorts, where's tor, ninjor, serpentera.

Other seasons not selling as well, seems the same as DC with batman family merch. The companies have spent so long only producing products with one particular set of characters in mind. Then when they push the others they say that they don't sell as well cause no one knows about them. when every product has been dick Grayson robin and not any of the other three, or Barbara Gordon batgirl, some JDF inspired MM product. Of course no one knows about the rest they never allowed them to be put front and centre and be marketed in a way that would allow them to sell.


on the limited run, low-ish production numbers, high price point items that is aimed at collectors are we really gonna say that they wouldn't sell cause it's not MM.

Samurai figuarts didn't sell cause everyone who wanted them all ready had the shinkenger ones and the series is genuinely not popular but in space, time force, RPM, SPD are popular enough to be branched into

Eh. If they'd done ones for another team (eg: The Team with Dino In its name) I'd be impressed, but these look cool and that's about it. Or maybe team chargers with both, considering if these make a noise it will probably be "Mighty Morphin".

All they had to do was throw in the Dino Thunder rangers and this would have been a really cool set. As it stands it's a pretty neat idea, but just another piece of the endless MMPR nostalgia train.

Cool enough I guess for people who want more MMPR stuff, but not for me. Like quite a few others here, I'd really like to see them give some attention to something else.

Figuarts aren't Bandai of America exclusives, they're Bluefin exclusives. It's sales literally have no relation to the BOA exclusives or what they may be whatsoever.

At least this is one year that I can pass on SDCC exclusives from the looks of it, which is fine by me. Gives me more cash to spend at TFCon this year.

That is pretty cool. I'd be way more into it if the Dino Chargers weren't such a boring toy concept. I had pens that did the same trick in elementary school.

That right there. That is way I dont care for this set. Yes its MMPR, but its not the only other Dino season. We have Dino Thunder (which is 10x better than MMPR in my opinion), put those five in with this set? Id be trying to get this set. But no, thye go and use the 7 who always sell. Get for next years SDCC where we get MMPR SUPER Chargers, you know, this same set, but in golden and metallic colors.

Pretty dope.

*sigh*

I just don't get how you can have a franchise like Transformers or TMNT, where at the very least, they acknowledge the existence of other things outside of their original series, but here with Power Rangers, it's like the only season that really gets any love is the current season + Mighty Morphin'.

Even if it were true that the other stuff is not as profitable, this is friggin' Power Rangers you're talking about. It's a damn financial powerhouse franchise you have here. You're GOING to sell stuff from the other seasons quite easily, depending on how well the execution is. I don't think there's a single diehard Power Rangers fan that ONLY cares about Mighty Morphin' and nothing else.

I meant in general. It's sad that it didn't seem to sell very well which in the long term could hurt other Power Ranger exclusives.

Things that make me laugh.

FANS: We want more Power Rangers Figuarts!
BLUEFIN: We hear you! Check out this exclusive Power Rangers Super Samurai set - the only time these figures have EVER been offered to any type of mass retail ever, and with metallic finish, ALL their weapons, in this cool box!
FANS: WTF $200 screw that noise no thanks
BLUEFIN: But...but you wanted...?
FANS: METALLIC FINISH SUCKS YOU'VE STATED WHY YOU CAN'T RELEASE THE NORMAL VERSION BUT WE CHOOSE TO IGNORE YOU AND DEMAND THE NORMAL VERSION!!!!

*Samurai SDCC sets still available to this day*

FANS: Why don't they make more Power Rangers Figuarts?
BLUEFIN: -_-

Funny. :lol

Even more hilarious that the set got down to about $50 one time and it STILL didnt sell out.
