Finally had the chance to sit down and watch the video through. My overwhelming feeling is one of utter confusion. They spend every season since Samurai building this amazing gimmick in Zord Builder and then when the movie comes along they ignore it completely. I understand the show and movie are two different universes but that didn't have to stop them from using the same universal gimmick. In fact it probably would've helped sales and led to a more popular toy. The next thing that gets me is my Gosei that's a hell-of-a-lot of parts-forming. When you sit down and realize this is for kids, wtf were they thinking? What ten year old is going to have the patience for sitting down and dismantling all of that and even more patience to put the damned thing back together? It's like they completely forgot what drives MMPR isn't the story, or characters, it's toy sales. You could have the best written series in the history of PR with in-depth characters and amazing plot, but if the toys don't sell? Bye Bye Zordon. And these toys.. It's like they focused so hard on the movie they didn't realize until a month ago "Oh damn.. we gotta make toys!". It's.. confusing. But it isn't all negative I don't think. The overall designs of the zords have grown on me (I absolutely love Pink's Fighter-esque Pteradactyl). I like the size, it's nice having a large megazord again instead of the shrimpy ZB versions (I love ZB, don't get me wrong, but they could stand to be a little bigger). What I can't forgive really is the absolutely utter lack of paint. It's just solid color molded plastic after solid color molded plastic. But that's an overall BoA problem, really.
After seeing this, and knowing I for damned sure don't have the patience for all that parts-forming, I'm content with my decision to skip the movie Zords. There's just nothing here for me.
