The Tamashii Web Exclusive S.H. Figuarts Ptera Ranger will be showing up on the doorsteps of middlemen any time now. But now thanks to 2chan we have some advance images.

Like Kiba Ranger before her, Ptera will feature a windowless box as has been the recent Exclusive trend. She will include her ranger stick in blade mode, combined with Thunder Slinger, Ptera Bow & Arrow and 6 extra hands. One of which is already attached to the arrow. Ptera Ranger is scheduled to ship this coming week from the Tamashii Web Shop and the Bluefin release of her as S.H. Figuarts MMPR Pink Ranger won't be far behind!

I'm liking the new packaging cover just like Kibarangers.

The figure looks really good. I may have to try and pick one up now.

[Matrixbeast]

You misspelled Ptera.
Anyway, looks nice. I'm really liking that bow. I'm actually thinking about picking one up.

[Shin Henshin]

I'll be getting her, definitely. I'm already planning to finish the team anyway.

So uh... what's up with the random-ass Ranger Stick/Blade Blaster piece decisions between Armored Red and now this toy?

[goldblade6]

Has market research determined that Japanese people don't like window boxes? I am getting so tired of Sentai figures from Japan not having window boxes while the American figures do. Basco, Wars Gilz, Kibaranger, and now this? Figuarts is just begging me to just buy the American releases. Ugh. :/

Its just the Tamashii Webs that do not have window boxes anymore and to be honest it makes sense, they don't need to advertise the toy on the shelf to potential buyers, because its never on the shelf.

THIS exactly.

Tamashii web items are intended for a online market only. They aren't manufactured with the intent of selling them in store so there's no reason to have a window. No one needs to look at them. I welcome this change personally, saves plastic.
