It's not just Power Rangers. Bandai of America has been turning out shit products for years now. Look at the quality of the recent Thundercats toys. And the Ben10 toys are mostly garbage as well. From what I have heard BoA doesn't care. They see the english audience as nothing more than something to be milked for profit.

And yes the US release Shinken Oh is a step in the right direction. But that's what the whole line should be. Things like that shouldn't be one off special releases.

The US market is 10 times the size of the Japanese market so I understand removing electronics. That doesn't bother me. What does bother me is completely retooling these figures. As stated above, BoA doesn't care. Which makes me terrified for Gokaioh and GobusterOh.
