The images say "Re-Ignition" in the top corner, so I think it's an easy assumption to make that they're part of the line.
I can't help but wonder who these are for?
- If they're marketing these to adults, they don't work from a nostalgia angle as we just got a bunch of auto-morphers that were more accurate to the originals, and they don't work as a collector line because they look cheap and have weird sculpts.
- If they're marketing these to kids, I don't really see what kind of connection a kid would have to these. I can't imagine many kids these days are watching the original Power Rangers.
My guess is that the higher-ups simply wanted toys and didn't care about the nuances of the situation, so they just came up with something. I guess they might work for people who missed the previous auto-morphers, want an updated style of auto-morphers, or are such completionists that they'll buy anything, but how big of a market segment is that? But to be fair, it IS something that doesn't exist yet.
I'd say it's a pass from me, but I don't collect MMPR figures anyways, so it's not like my opinion really matters lol.
