On September 7th, 1996, the world was introduced to the Big Bad Beetleborgs. Although it may have come off as another attempt to clone the success of Power Rangers, it still holds a place in many fans' hearts.
Here's to turning 20! Feel free to share your thoughts or memories on the show or toy line! |

Those toys were the business. Even in the wake of the Figuarts the figures still hold up EXTREMELY well.
The show...not so much. I watched it again recently and it wasn't quite as good as I remember it, but I adored it as a kid and I'll always have the memories of that.

I don’t know if it was my first exposure to Toku since I might’ve seen Power Rangers first, but I got a figure of the Blue Beetleborg for my first day at school, and I do remember some things about the show.
Looking back at it though I don’t like it one bit, I think it’s a terrible show. Nothing about it seems appealing to me now. Except the material taken from Juukou B-Fighter. But still, happy anniversary for anyone who cares about this show. I must have had some fun with it as a kid, with the action figure at least, so that’s something it did right in my book. I don’t know about that, "EXTREMELY well" is an overstatement. They were good for their time but that's about it. Last edited by Kiwami; 09-07-2016 at 02:33 PM.. |

I loved it as a kid but I won't watch it again because I know I'll hate it. I'm just waiting for the B-fighter shows to finally get subs

The only negatives they have is the stickers and (with hindsight) the chrome finish.

I hate this show. Watched it whenever it came on, but it just isn't that good.
However, the designs look slick and the action is good. I just wish it didn't do that stupid haunted house thing. I had some of the toys, and they were pretty nice, I remember~

The toys for some of them were outstanding at the time, except White's. He had a freaking blaster molded onto his arm and it always ticked me off.
I tried watching the show again when it was added to Netflix, but I couldn't handle it like I used to. |

If you tried to tell me that they’re great figures for their time which hold up well against today’s figure assortment for kids I wouldn’t disagree with you. Them holding up “extremely well” against their Figuart counterparts is just not true though. I had both Blue Beets side by side, you can’t compare them.
And you shouldn’t, because they were made for completely different purposes and goals. Which is all I'm gonna say to this specific discussion because that’s not what the topic should be about in my opinion. |

No. Nothing about this show needs to be remembered, much less celebrated. Hands down the worst of Saban's toku adaptations.

You could have easily ignored what I said but you were the one who decided to take the conversation down this route.
