Aw, lame! I was hoping the figure'd look like that first pic!

I'd totally buy a Zedd like that!

You should pay this guy to make you one.

Got him when he first came out. Great figure. Aside from the missing paint on the back, he needs wrist joints. I was disappointed by that since all the other figures have it and he could've held his Z-Staff with both hands. Still, great figure and a much need upgrade. Now if only Bandai would give me a Goldar upgrade...and Rita! I need Rita that's not a purple flashlight...

I also use Zedd in my comic as a major villian. Started using him before the new figure came out, so I had the swtich out toys at some point..

lol

Why didn't they ever make a Rita? She was the Rangers' first enemy and ended up making recurring appearances after she was written out of the show - and even managed the reappear years later as a powerful good witch!

Was there ever a Thrax figure, for that matter?

Actually, they planned to make her and a few other villians like Scorpina and Master Vile (wait, was Vile released? I can't remember), but then caneled them.

In fact, I have a picture of the Rita. Missplaced the others.

I like the think the reason she wasn't released was because someone said "Kids will poke their eyes out with boobies!"

As for Thrax, nope. Not figures. Somewhere along the way, Bandai quit making the bad guys altogether. Some years they make one or two, but only the major villian of that year. Last year only had 3 different villians total (one got a few variant). This year (so far), not a single villian. I'm amazed the line lasted this long with so few baddies.

So... they've become Playmates?

What do you think the answer is?

*Ninjinister* · 07-24-2009, 02:58 AM

Well...

S***.

There IS a Grinder figure on the way, though! I've seen pictures.

Well, A picture.

OoooOooo...Finally, a RPM figure I want!

So are some of the 'Power Rangers' figures that surface new moulds? I just assumed they would be previous years 'Sentai' toys in western packaging.

Aside from the Megazords and role playing, Bandai rarely uses the Sentai molds. Mostly it's because Sentai doesn't make many of what americans would call "action figure." In fact, these days Bandai America even makes their own Megazords and role playing items because the Sentai versions are to big and expensive to import. Most things in US packaging is a new mold.

At Ranger Centeral, they mark which ones have Japanese counterparts.

That explains a lot about why the Shinkenger stuff looks a little static. I've been wanting a set for a while now, held it off.

Should Disney butcher this Sentai show like the others, at least there would be some decent figures out of it then.

Sorry to detour on your thread, Newton. I left a comment and a sob story on your Lord Zedd review.
