You know, if Saban bulks it's figures up, I wonder would Bandai would do, just make them anorexix?

I don't get the hate.

It's not like you guys have never seen BoA bulk up their previous Power Rangers kid toys. It's not a surprise - they've been doing this since 1993.

If your whole point to post is to try and come up with a joke to continue derailing this thread, save those of us with an interest and don't.

Sorry Kickback. It isnt more hate for me then it is that owning the SHF of these guys, the proportions are just funnier than they normally are. I have bought the BoA toys as a kid and still do now. Plan on possibly buying a couple of these. Just to go with my Megaforce figures. But again, sorry if I misdid anything.

I get the whole "this is not for me" bit. If these don't come with Ranger Keys, I won't plan to purchase them because they're also not the style I look for.

But 2 and a 1/2 pages of people making jokes about wet panties and steroids and such is just too much. If you don't like it - say so, engage in conversation why you don't like it, make a counter-point to what someone else is saying, and move on. No need to continue with "LOL" replies and such. There are people who do like these figures and do plan to buy them, seeing a thread full of pages of people laughing and making jokes over and over discourages them from participating, and that's not okay.

The proportions are just hilariously way off.

Just look at that MMPR green ranger and how pint sized the head looks.

And you know what? For the 5 year old kid that the figure is targeted for, it could be their favorite toy as they grow up. It could represent everything they like about the character - strong and powerful and able to overcome the bad guys, which is something the show continues to shove down our throats every single episode.

But yes, for an adult it's obviously almost too "kiddy" to really pull our interest. But that's okay - Power Rangers collectors do not make up even a slight significant portion of the toy sales. You think Transformers was bad at 10% or less a few years ago? Power Rangers is even lower than that CURRENTLY. Last estimate I saw put the collector market at roughly 5% or less for mainline items. So why make something that caters to a demographic that doesn't buy your product anyways?

Those aren't in TRU's system.

Also, Walmart has 5 Zord vehicles with figures in the 38080 assortment under 38081, 38082, 38083, 38084, and 38085. These are being regarded as similar packaging to the Megaforce Land/Sea/Sky/Ultra vehicles.

These were all updates made within the last 24-48 hours to walmart's app/site.

Dang. I knew collectors didnt make much of a dent in toy sales.. but man, Im suprised that PR has good sales at the moment anyway. The 4 different stores I regularly visit keeps the same stuff most of the time. That might just be my area though. But if collector-wise sales are that low why were they making the Legacy stuff? I mean yes, 20th anniversary and all that but heck the only thing Ive got from that is the Morpher, and that was because of coupons and sales. Again, might just be me though.

EDIT- On raz's findings, so we are getting a Zeo Red? Cool. I might have joked about the figures before but that was the SMF/Gokai guys, if the Zeo and MMPR 4" arent metallic (reason I sold my MMPR Red 4" from this year), Im might pick it up. Has it been confirmed if the 4" comes with keys or not?
