Ok, lot to say with this, so I'll have to break it down point-for-point:
- Villain figures are the undeniable crown jewels of ALL the reveals. It has been noted by people smarter than me that some of the monsters who are getting figures did make returns in Kyoryuger, which might mean that monsters who are predisposed to a possible revival are, from a marketing standpoint, considered "recurring villians". Of note, I believe the last time that real, good monster figures were released in accordance with a PR line was Turbo. From In Space through Super Megaforce, villains were relegated to recurring characters and grunts. Magmavore from Lightspeed Rescue was one of the few exceptions. Most of the time, a monster was given, at best if anything, as a PVC-type for playsets or those little soft things that came in the plastic spheres during Samurai.
- Some are upset that Sledge's colors are wrong. Bare in mind, that some of the old figures of the 90s, even PR figures, were not always show-accurate. It's also possible that this one was a prototype and that the final product MIGHT have show-accurate colors for the armor.
- PR figures with chest armor and a Dino Charger in the middle. Indicative of the show's direction? The meaning behind the so-called "Dino Supercharge" for the future?
- Ammonite Zord given an actual zord figure. This isn't the first time that toyline was given a toy-only zord figure that has nothing to do with the show. However, we have seen that Dino Charge is investing in a CGI T-Rex Zord, so that makes one wonder whether the Ammonite and others could as well.
- 12-Inch Figure of Fury. Back in the day, the recurring villains got some larger figures, like the big Goldar, King Sphinx, Rhinoblaster, and Silent Knight just to name a few.
- Human-Sized Dino Charge Megazord seen in the photos. I have to ask, is this a suit or a specially fabricated statue for the display?
- More Legacy figures? If the big, bad, dragon of Zedd's does get a release, then someone add something to it. A miniature Thunder Ultrazord with detachable Assault Team from Tor would suffice.
- People sad by Poisandra's lack of a figure does not mean that she will not get one at all. Remember, we are still in the beginning of the show with more to come. For all we know, Sledge will get a power-up which might mean another figure.
