Legacy Saba and the Tigerzord look really good, but the reasoning behind that triceratops color change is just too much for me. I don't think I'll be giving BoA anymore of my money.

Do we know if the Dino gun is the Dino Charge Morpher?

Yes it is.

Had the Bandai rep said something like "we found in our focus testing that kids, who are our primary audience, did NOT like the pink Dino. So we changed it to a color that suited their tastes more." I would be ok with that reasoning. They are in the market to sell toys.

But no. They took the "Pink no for boys" tactic. And said it like we are fools for asking. It's the same mentality that made Cartoon Network cancel Young Justice. This line is aims squarely at boys. GIRLZ NUT ALOUD! GIRLZ BAD!

And that, right there, is what pisses me right off.

So where's the quote actually saying this was the reason? Because I was already convinced it would be, but no news article does... Don't want to be treating it as solid fact without proof, ya know?

I'll take it. Just wish they'd post it in news articles too instead of assuming we all use Twitter, when I at least don't...

Exactly. There's nothing inherently wrong with the color change and if kids really did like it better, fine. But, the fact that instead it was the result of this sexist mindset is what makes it so problematic, at least to me.

The Legacy stuff looks awesome! Now Thunder Zords and Dairanger is complete for me.

Now the Dino Charge toys look alright. I'm gonna get all the ranger figures, since Cyan, Purple and Grey, and Silver got nothing in Japan.

Now, the Purple Dricera, love it! I don't have the BOJ toys, so it's alright. Doesn't bother me.
