The problem is lack of care for the brand. It's gotten more obvious as years went on, but Hasbro's overall care and personal interest for PR isn't there the way we were lead to think.
That said, it's not to say they haven't put out good things. The Dino Fury Megazord had added articulation and play value compared to the Ryusoulger version. The Lightning Collection has had some absolute gems in it, especially the villains. That said you can feel the lack of investment they have in the lines between haphazard release schedules, missing paint, QC issues, cheap products, etc. The Cosmic Fury Megazord is literally a shorter, cheaper-looking version of KyurenOh for almost the exact same price as it. It's not very excusable. That said, I'd rather Hasbro keep and improve their approach to the license. I don't want any other company to take it over because what product they've put out that works REALLY works.

Also the ZAP zords being $100+ with issues and should have been like $80 max. ZAP is just the studio Series for Zords

So I got my set and while it's not bad, it definitely feels like the left hand doesn't know what the right was doing. They've stripped almost all of the added articulation out in favor of a more stable combination. The addition of zord builder parts is a nice idea but since they also added a new single friction pin connector on the zords, it means the cross play is still limited. I'm also more than a little apprehensive about the lineup since Kyuuranger had a good selection of zords and Hasbro is 0/2 on full lineups so far. Overall, the whole set is worth about $60 in my opinion and the overall price of $72 isn't atrocious but it's definitely a hard deterrent for entry.

Still a better Megazord than the Drivemax Megazord.

Something about the megazord feels cheap for me. And the fact that this feels like a bad attempt at emulating MMPR season 2 is already a bad look, though I do love the Zenith Ranger suit. Seriously I think it's a missed opportunity that the suit isn't in Shishi Red Orion colors. And I find it funny how the source material and this are trying to recreate past iterations of their own respective franchises, Ryusoulger being a bad attempt at trying to raise plummeting toy sales by taking elements of Kyoryuger and to some extent Gingaman and Zyuranger at the time.

after the dino fury zords this just seems like a massive leap backwards
the dino fury ones where able to add in articulation wile this seems to go back to the basic arms go up and down and a waist i am normally not one to complain about price but.... $72 just ooof the toy is solid enough but just lacking

Been thinking of a new license holder for the toys, and I'm wondering if they should pull a DC and give the kid-friendly ones to Spin Masters and the higher-grade collector figures to MacFarlane Toys. Both are packing shelves left and right. I also can't ignore how Spin Masters figures are the same size as the 4-inch figures from Bandai between the Mighty Morphin' 2010-Megaforce toy-lines.

Might as well. I expected better when Hasbro first got the rights and they have delivered I think at first somewhat, but seeing the Cosmic Fury Megazord I think even they don't care anymore. Lets just hope this doesn't lead to some buffoonery on par with the dnd 5e incident where it gets to the point fans end up having to tell them to get their act together.
