Really want a Drakkon and a Ranger Slayer, but...I have concerns that they aren't well-known enough for mass release because they are not in the show!
The Rangerverse and its now increasingly diverse history of owners do acknowledge older fans and intentionally include things on a conscious level for the benefit of the older crowd, but the owners are primarily interested in their bottom-line and their profits from the child-centric franchise they own!
The comics aren't necessarily being read only by children. Children aren't necessarily playing "Legacy Wars" or any of the other games. They may not recognize Drakkon!
One counter-argument is that Hasbro may try to make the Rangerverse more than a child-centric franchise!
Another counter-argument is that other heroes, like the Marvel Heroes, are vast in number with a LOT of stories, many not meant for small children, and yet those characters still get Build-A-Figures on Wal-Mart shelves and cater to the older crowd!
Obvious problem is that the Rangerverse isn't as recognizable as Marvel!
Another problem, with both mind you, is that not every city/town/village has a comic book store... making access to any print-based hero and story harder to find!
This would make so much more sense if Drakkon and the Ranger Slayer make significant appearances in the show! One day... THAT WILL HAPPEN!!!
This is merely a pecking point on my end. I do want more figures from the comics. I just have concerns and questions.
This could be read in an entirely different fashion: There are plans for Drakkon... BIG PLANS!!! Hope that's true in the end.
P. S.: I don't have a comic book store in my area. Just a Books-A-Million which has graphic novels and compilation volumes, but doesn't hold single issues anymore! Closest comic book store is a good two hours away.
