I think there is a current push in toys for a yearly, $100+ big ticket item that is at least 2 feet tall. Look at Transformers for reference: Metroplex, Devastator, Fortress Maximus, and Trypticon sometime this year. Power Ranger's first step into this is with the new Movie Megazord. There's no reason it needed to be that large. Other action figure-oriented lines are returning to large play sets, like TMNT's sewer playsets (and a little smaller, the Technodrome from the 2nd Bay movie). And from the quality, detail, and focus on play patterns, these don't appear to be aimed at adult collectors (well, outside of the TFs).

Lion Ha-Oh was disappointing to me. I'm really looking forward to seeing how the final Lion Fire Fortress Zord turns out. It was a little jarring that the toy of the final combo of Dino Charge ended up being smaller than the plesiosaurus combination.
I mean, with the ability to be able to choose between the Sentai versions or the Power Rangers versions of toys these days, it's fun to let BoA try something new. They come up with some surprises like the Samurai Bullzord's extending legs to keep it in scale with the other Megazords, or this return to a giant base Zord.
