Doesn't seem like much, if any, effort was put into this figure. Basically $64.99 for almost total re-use.

The current E-bay asking price for one new is $180

and $150 for the Kiba Ranger version, so yeah it's good if you don't already have this figure.

Would love to see that on Boom comics as well.

Would the suits be still the same MMPR/Zyuranger suits or minor adjustments?

I'd kill for a Drakkon anything. The legacy figure doesn't look bad at all save for the pint sized head

Regarding the headsculpt if they put a few streaks on the hair they could probably pass it off as Andros.

It really seems like, unless you really want the Akibaranger chest symbol, that this will be an objectively better release than the previous releases. The new head is one thing, but one of the biggest criticisms of the first release was lack of hands. Bluefin’s site says this has 6 hands, opposed to the 4 of the original.

Any chance to order that one from the EU? Are there any middleman services for Bluefin stuff? Bc I'd surely like to catch up on that release.

EU as European Union? Yeah, Cosmic Group is releasing this

Oh nice, just hope this figure in particular will be available through EU distributors, since importing from the US kinda strikes me as a hassle.

A bunch of EU based pre-orders for whitey open until midnight (CEST!):
