So... I just saw the new MMPR line at Walmart. Somehow, I missed the fact that these were the same scale as Star Wars figures. That really sucks.

Suppose I'll just wait for my Super Legends Kim...

Eh, who am I kidding? I'll pick this one up too.

I've only picked up the Retrofire MMPR Megazord lately. It was a nice addition to my office.

I've reviewed one of the most stylish Power Ranger figures ever -- the RPM Full Throttle Triceratops Ranger -- here:

That jacket really is too cool for words... I need to get one for myself. :d

Has anyone picked up the new Retro figures? I picked up the Black ranger, and the Megazord. And I'm jazzed as all get-out, I never had the real megazord when I was younger, just the cheaper "Economy"-sized one that didn't come apart.

Yep. I have Black, Yellow, Putty, and Alpha. Their pretty good. Black is the one I like the least. The muscles are a tad to big so the range of movment isn't as good as Yellow's. Putty is great. Alpha is also great, but his scale is a bit off. Also, Zordon's not blue. That's just weird.

The instuctions made me lol. Apparently Alpha's head is an accessory.

Also, if you plan to get Alpha or Putty get them soon. They won't ship after the this assortment. Also, wave 2 is just the 6 Rangers with silver crap and Goldar will ship with them.

I got the Retro Dino Megazord. Sits on my computer at work. It's good. My only gripe is that the "horns" on it's head are too big and the shield attaches to its forearm instead of being held, but whatever, it still looks cool on top of my computer tower.

The ones I'm talking about just started to trickle into stores.

Last December was when I got mine. Speaking of the Retrofire Megazords, anyone ever find the Dino Thunder Megazord? I know that it's wave was released, but never seen a bit of them.

I've yet to see the dragon dagger. But I saw the other stuff, like the weird mix-n-match toys, and the 2.5 inch double packs of OTHER ranger series figures. Kind of strange.

FYI, Wal mart has a 12-14 dollar 6 pack, consisting of Red, Pink, Zedd, Greed, Blue and Black, I think. The figures about the same size as the normal ones, but not as detailed or articulated. Kind of lame.

Yes, I believe the ''Deluxe'' version does play the song and a few sound effects. While them other does not. Not 100 percent sure tho.

I think I'm going to have to make a wants list

I don't know if any of you have seen these but there Mini Mighty Morphin Power Rangers are out. They're mostly in scale with Galactic Heroes/ Super Hero Squad. I wrote up a review on them, which I strongly recommend checking out if you have any interest in them because, well, they're kind of a let down.

http://jestergoblin.com/?p=1295

For those on the fence, they aren't that great. If you're a fan of small, stylized figures they're okay. But the lack of paint really hurts them.

But Bandai seemed to think about that and priced them at about half the current market price for figures like these. You get 8 figures for the price of two SHS 2-packs.
