*sigh*

Seems there's going to be more MMPR season 1 toys in the legacy line. Articulated versions of the Dino Zords with mini Rangers to pilot them.

I mean, it's kinda cool. And the two I've seen (here per Power Rangers Now) actually look pretty good.

But... there are fans of other seasons too, Bandai...

That said, rest of the stuff's sounding cool. Zeo morpher and Golden Power Staff for Legazy roleplay items. Oh... And figures of the PSYCHO RANGERS. ^_^

Man, haven't bought any Legacy Figures before. But I'm all in on Psycho Rangers.

What's about fully posseable Dinozords? Do they combine?

Any word on Shogun or Tor?

Legacy Shogun Megazord or full-scale riot!

What, no Shogun Megazord? Seriously? Not even a shadow with a coming soon banner on it? WTF?

I really hate to be "that guy" but read the front page post, or literally watch the video provided. I believe we'd have mentioned it if Legacy Shogunzords were revealed.

So... not a word about Ninja Steel?

Did Bandai forget there's a TV show? they already forgot to invite the cast.

Is the panel over? I thought it was just going in progress. The steam won't play for me as it keeps freezing up to buffer.

Also, all I see are some bad pictures of the T-Rex and Sabertooth Tiger, but it doesn't really talk about their size, if the combine with the Dragonzord, nor the other 3 zords.

They're definitely not necessary, but I do kinda like the look of the individual Legacy Zords. I actually kinda want the T-Rex Zord, as it did fight on it's own at times.

Definitely count me in for a Zeonizer. That'll go nicely with the Legacy MMPR Morpher. I'm also hoping they continue with the Legacy Morphers. Probably won't be any time soon, but I really want them to make it to Lightspeed Rescue and do Legacy versions of both the main and Titanium morpher.

I'm surprised more people aren't losing their shit over the Psycho Rangers. I feel like that's all people talked/bitched about since the announcement of the Legacy 6.5" line.

So pretty much we got robbed.

And this is the point where Bandai of America gets my money. All in for the Gold Power Staff, Zeonizer, Zeo Legacy figures (all of the Zeo) and Psycho Rangers.

Psycho Rangers? Oh... Oh yes this is very very good. Though I gotta wonder what their Build-A-Figure will be? Ecliptor? Maybe some other monster?

Entitled much?
It's Alpha.

Huh. Weird, but I'm okay with this.

Psycho Rangers? Yeah!
AbareKiller? Fuck yeah!

It was the next logical step after we got Legacy Ninja Megazord/Falconzord!

I don't understand your disappointment with more legacy MMPR stuff. Most of what they showed off was unrelated to MMPR.

Am I the only one who saw the name "Lord Drakkon" and thought, "the guy from Kim Possible?"

True, it would be the next logical Legacy Megazord. Doesn't mean it was a guarantee they would do it, let alone announce it at SDCC.

Personally I wouldn't blame them for skipping the Shogun Megazord and having the next one be Zeo.
I KNEW that name sounded familiar...

So looking at what Bandai showed... Alongside the Ninjetti coins and movie coins/Red Ranger helmet, we're getting Zeo stuff now in terms of Legacy props...no sign or mention of the last MMPR Zord to be put in the Legacy line, the Shogun Megazord...

And if the line survives, we'll see Legacy Psycho Rangers.

I'd be excited about the Psycho Rangers, but given that I have yet to even see the MMPR White and Yellow Rangers with Ninja Storm and Pink MMPR Rangers clogging shelves around here, I have very little faith we'll see the Psycho Rangers reach shelves.

And those articulated Dinozords...unless they combine, it feels extra 'meh' to me. Especially when if you're willing to save up some money, there's already a pretty amazing articulated and combining Megazord out there now.

"Damn you Green Ranger! You think you're all that, but you're not!!!"

Psycho Rangers yes I so glad we finally getting figures of them.

InSpace Silver yes my favorite silver ranger getting the Legacy treatment.

Zeo Gold Staff yes finally moving on from mmpr.

Very exciting stuff coming all round excellent news Bandai you did great today.

No, just no. Otherwise what was the point of putting tabs on the falconzord's wings for the Shogun Megazord if they aren't going to make him?

Anyway, when are pictures of these new Dinozords going up and are we going to get information on them?

BTw, who is this Lord Drakkon?

Alpha 5 is the Psycho Rangers' BAF.

Oh I just remember something a while back there was an image of a 12inch red mmpr prototype. It look similar to the medicom Real Action Heroes form Japan Kamen Rider line.

There was no news of it today so I guess one of two things A) it been scarp B) they will save it for NYCC.

/\This.

I like the idea of the Legacy zords but does that mean we will never see anything beyond MMPR?

I was kind of hoping we would be hitting the Zeo Zords by now. Maybe getting to In Space. Instead, they left fans wondering, "Wat up wit dat?"

2 possibilities if Shogun doesn't happen: Either it's just intended to look like the old toy or they might have been planning to do one but scrapped it after how badly big sets like Titanus sold.

An evil older Tommy from an alternate timeline where Rita's spell wasn't broken. His costume's like a mix between the White and Green Ranger's because he stole the White Ranger powers from Jason in his timeline.

Gotta keep their options open just in-case it's actually worth it to develop the Shogun Megazord. If they do, great, more people will go out and buy the Falconzord. If not, than the Falonzord just has some extra tabs on it's wings, big woop.

Honestly, I don't think it's worth it for them to develop a Legacy Shogun Megazord. I really don't think it would sell well enough. I also think they waisted their time on Titanus.
There... there's a photo of them in the gallery on the front page...
A very fan-fictiony sounding character that fans actually seem to like.

I'm glad the Legacy figures are continuing, even though I don't own any of them. Getting the Psycho Rangers is awesome.

Well that's you. I think it is worthless for them to do Psycho Rangers when they were only in like 6 episodes tops when there are villains who were in 200 episodes of the show to do.

Also, Titanus is an important piece as is Tor, Serpenterra, Ninjor, and Shogun Megazord. Once again, if you are going to do figures from a series, you need to go ALL in or not at all. I'm tired of companies that do these half cocked measures. Bandai did it with Thundercats, Tamashii did it with several Sentai teams and Injustice, Mattel did it with Thundercats, DC Collectibles did it with their DC Icons line and is now doing it with their Essentials line, etc.


Where? I only see the powerpoint slide that has a faded image of the TRex and Sabertooth Tiger. I don't see any pictures for all 5, them next to the Dragonzord, them combined (if they combine), how much they will be, etc.

Holy shit psycho rangers!!!!!!!!!! And they build-a-fig Alpha 5?!?!?!

FUCK YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also those megazords with the little rangers are cool too.

I hope we get legacy figures of Black Dragon, Lord Drakkon, Movie Putty, & Ninjor

You do realize that Bandai at the end of the day wants to make money right?

Ergo they aren't going to make a toy just to "complete" a line.

That's the reason Sentai figuarts and the Thundercats toyline died they sold horribly.

It's the reason a lot of people myself included think the Legacy Ranger line is on borrowed time.

For the Legacy zord line in particular Titanus is infamous for how bad it shelf warmed and from what I've heard the Thunderzords didn't do so hot either.

That's why a Shogun Megazord might not happen.

Well that's just like... your opinion, man...

Though seriously, I'm not sure what your point is here...
I atually agree with you on this one. I think Bandai is only making them to appease the more whiny parts of the fandom. Assuming they make it to retail, I imagine they'll clog pegs badly. Maybe even bad enough to be the wave that kills the line for good.
Important to you, but not necesarily important to everyone else, or even to enough paying customers to warrant development costs.
It's cool when a company can do that, but not every company can pull that off. Also, not a lot of fan bases are willing to support expansive toylines like that.
Was originally going to debate you point for point, but then got to this and figured it wasn't worth it. Have a good night.
The powerpoint image is what I'm talking about. Have they announced any Legacy Zords other than the Sabertooth and T-Rex? As for combining, I'm just guessing here, but I highly doubt they do. Which is fine with me.

Just saw this. Any chance you can either post or PM me the image?

I read on Twitter that they do combine and Bandai's boasting it'll be the largest Megazord yet.

Reminds me of Mattel's giant Voltron lions from a few years ago.

That's... interesting. They don't look like they're meant to combine, but it's certainly not impossible. Hopefully it'll be more solid than the movie Megazord.

I disagree. I would love to see these, and you can label me as one of those whiny parts of the fandom, I do not give a shit. Lol. But I've always wanted a Psycho Ranger set. Why? Because they were the only true evil Ranger group in the US. That alone makes them needworthy in my book. And if they kill the line, then look at it this way, the Psycho Rangers succeeded in their job in some form or fashion? :lol

read the Power Rangers comics from Boom! If not, PM me and I'll tell you.
