I don't honestly think this needed made. They already made him a Figuart, they didn't need a Zero. Unless it's just so they could release it here domestically and milk that cow again.

You people need to realise how much of demand there is for statues in Japan. Sure people go nuts for articulated figures too, but there are probably way more statues produced then there are figures.

Sure this avenue might not work for Super Sentai, but they don't know that yet and Dragon Ranger seems like the perfect candidate to test it with. The One Piece Figuarts bombed and then the ZERO line sells excellently, so go figure.

Oh I know they're huge there. I have no doubt it will sell well in Japan. Just like I understand why the Gaim movie is based around Football/Soccer. Because these things appeal to the primary native market.

In this instance though I feel my Dragon Ranger needs are met is all.

Yeah, I was more directing my comment at the people who think this is a pointless release. It may seem pointless to us poseable figure buyers, but there's certainly going to be people out there going nuts for it.

And more power to them, and anyone, who wants to buy it. I just think it's pointless. I'm allowed.

That's fine. But I'm allowed to point out why it isn't as well.

[Starscreamer]

well this is in an iconic pose, I think would look great on a shelf. The Figuarts is great for action pose, but this would look great on my work area on the job (plus co workers won't change him into....compromising poses...

It looks nice I guess but...what is the point?

[thunderstrike541]

I might get it.... Maybe..... Idk......

Because Tommy is a huge seller in the US. It won't surprise me if Bluefin was behind this. Bluefin mention in a interview a while back that they plan to do more MMPR stuff in other Tamasahii figure brands. SRC Dragon Caesar/Dragon Zord is likely next. I'm sick of MMPR nostalgia and we're getting more of it soon in a few years from now because of the new upcoming movie from Lionsgate.
