Am I seeing things or did they include a Barbara Goodson head with Rita? She’s a definite buy for me. Liking the look of Dragonzord for the most part. Looks like their King Sphinx might actually be sized similar to the LC one. If so then other monsters from this line might go well with the LC ones depending on whether or not Hasbro rescales future monsters.
Up at BBTS: Super7 Power Rangers (Super Sentai) Action Figures, Statues, Collectibles, and More! Just pre-ordered all the rangers and Dragonzord Looks like I'll be selling my Lightning Collection. Edit - This is the finished poses (display) I have in mind:
Jesus, now they're $55? Weren't the previous ones $50? Anyway, the King Sphinx has a better paint job than the Hasbro one, but he's 8 inches, so he will be even bigger than the one he is now. The Rita telescope is awesome, but not worth $55 either.
They look great but... More fucking preorders Super7? Really?? They couldn't even deliver wave 2 of the Thundercats completely thanks to the Cheetara fuck up and still have another two waves to do from that license... And that was way before they branched off to a ton of different licenses.
They were $45, they went up to $55 when the Transformers Ultimates went up for preorder. So a while now, the first wave of Super7 Power Rangers was $55 also. They're delivering on their other stuff, the factory screw ups for wave 2 of TC was pretty well documented. They're shipping what they have for everyone else and Wave 3 of TC. It's not like a company can just sit around and wait for stuff to deliver and then leave holes in their future production.
We have: Wave 2 Thundercats Wave 3 Cheetara Wave 4 Thundercats Wave 1 rerelease Thundertank Wave 4 TMNT Wave 5 TMNT Wave 6 TMNT Wave 1 GI Joe Wave 1 Disney Wave 2 Disney Wave 1 Silverhawks Wave 1 2001 Wave 1 Simpsons Wave 1 SpongeBob (2 figures) Wave 1 Monsters (2 figures) Wave 1 Transfermers Wave 2 Transfermers Wave 1 MMPR Wave 2 MMPR About 37 figures yet to be released. That's about 3 figures a month for an entire year worth of preorders yet to be released. They have no holes in their future production. What they do have is a shit ton of open pre-orders they should worry about filling.
I hope we get a proper MMPR Zordon from S7 like that statue. While I like my LC Zordon, he’s more a post MMPR version of him with that wrong containment tube. Heck, if that statue was cheaper I’d just buy that for my Zordon.
I saw the 2 pack once. Alpha looked nice, but Zordon was a different story. I might try those poses with the Lightning Collection figures? Granted I'm waiting until I get my own place before taking stuff out of storage.
Definitely Zordon could have been better. Right now I’m inclined to use the Imaginext Zordon for my display. Just need to mod the set. Although I expect S7 might also release Zordon in a set with Alpha at a higher price point. Oh, so I guess the third head for Rita is actually supposed to Kimberly from the episode when Zedd had plans to make her his queen. Definitely not the best likeness. lol
Wasn't Cheetara delayed because they didn't like the final product? I thought that was pretty damn awesome of them and the fact they are going to give her an extra head to make up for it. I might not be a fan of their figures or their production policy, but it seems like they do care about their customers.
When they are charging $45 for an action figure with basic articulation that was pre-ordered almost two years ago it's kinda obligatory for it to look at least how it was advertised... Specially if you want people and stores to hold the preorders for the other 30+ figures you have in the pipeline.
It says it’s supposed to be Kimberly in Rita’s product description. Likeness definitely isn’t that great. It honestly looked more like Rita’s voice actress than Kim.
This is the last of my original Megazords. I think I'm going to sell it, though. I just don't have an attachment to Zeo anymore.
