I'm at a loss for words.

Very sad. He was a hero to me as a kid. Loved the Green Ranger. Glad I got to meet him.

I've seen all of Power Rangers up to Dino Fury Part 1. Recently I've been watching the Super Task Force shows that they adapt from and can see all the way up to Ryu Soul (Dino Fury) via Malaysia disk sets. I'm watching Kira Mage and Zen Kai. To Quger , Zyu Oh , Kyu Ranger and Lu Pat got skipped. Only Zord footage from Kyu will be used.

I did see up to Dino Fury Part 1. I may hold til they post Cosmic Fury. Mostly to not miss any episodes.

Disapointed at the lack of civilian heads. This feels like a very lazy boxset.

Yeah, I was looking for those and was like "Where's the unmorphed heads?"

Some of them also get effects parts that others are missing, and vice-versa.

The set just feels very c/p. Like the Psychos at least had unique weapons.

 

[LBD "Nytetrayn"]

Hm, think they would have to pay likeness rights for the Alien Rangers' unmorphed heads?

 

[Tm_Silverclaw]

Probably.

I have to agree. Possibly the same reason why Capcom did not allow Hasbro to make unmorphed heads for the Street Fighter crossover figures (despite the unmorphed characters appearing on the box).

Either that, or Hasbro was too lazy to make new head molds (which could be a dumb reason, considering they did make new heads for the Cobra Kai crossover figures where Daniel-san dons the Mighty Morphin' Ninja White uniform, and a Putty is redesigned as a Skeleputty).

 

[LBD "Nytetrayn"]

Sure, but in this case, I mean...

Even unmorphed, like 50% of their heads are covered in prosthetics. How much of their face has to show for them to be owed likeness rights?

I think this is part of why a lot of Batman movie figures never bothered with it.

Spinning Phoenix Kick!

Look what I found and the cool part is it can transform into the spaceship mode

 

[LBD "Nytetrayn"]

Oooh, the Jumbo!

Always wanted one, but no idea where I'd put it.

 

[Sabrblade]

I have that.

It's a total partsformer, but it's nice and big. Taller than the Supertrain Megazord, even. About as tall as Serpentera, IIRC.

 

[tec]

It reminds of the 77 Shogun Warriors but the fun part is this one can transform
thus my rule on transforming toy not transforming does not get broken
