I was planning to get all of Zeo and Dino Thunder, but this move could be a total deal-breaker. I'll hold out hope that that one photo is somehow not representative, or that it's not as bad as it looks, but it could literally be the difference between Bandai getting >£200 of my money and them getting sweet FA.

It almost feels like they're trying to fumble the ball at this point. Blaming fans for their own failure to do market research, releasing metallic figures and standalone zords that no one seems to have wanted, refusing to confirm the Shogun Megazord that lots of people definitely want (and now announcing Astro Megazord instead, I read), lack of articulation on the Movie legacy figures, constant quality issues...

I bought the con-exclusive Fighting Spirit set last month and found not-insignificant quality issues on two of the three figures, so they can't even get the special releases right.

I'm in the minority that is actually into the build-a-megazord (though on balance I would prefer weapons but WHY NOT BOTH, BANDAI??), but the choice to not paint ZeoGold will persuade me to stop collecting, for sure.

It's a real shame.
