I had a feeling it was going to be a Foot Soldier. I really didn't want it to be an army builder, but since it can also be Tommy, its not that bad. Just gonna suck for anyone looking to army build unless the set sees a huge discount at Gamestop like with their past 2 packs. Gonna be alot of cheap Raphs on eBay. I do wish it was either Splinter or Metalhead tho. If Hasbro isn't going deeper into this crossover, then I'd probably just ditch Tommy and try to get an extra Foot Soldier so I can display 2 with Shredder.
The leaked listing from forever ago for these had three two-packs and a solo Fan Channel listing for Shredder.
Actually, I would be down for full team 5 packs. In fact, I wouldn't mind if they did all of Time Force as a 5 pack because the red ranger they did has such a sloppy paint job. Hell, I wouldn't even care if they did a Lost Galaxy 5 pack despite it would end up being my third version of LG Red too. If I can get the main team in one go, I'm all for it. I just wish if they do five packs they put more effort into the accessories and give the rangers ALL of their gear. So for LG, it would be the short sword, extended sword, cannons, daggers in standard form, daggers in ranger specific form, and hands for that ranger's specific main pose. Time would be Vector Swords, gun, time badges, the BFGs, and ranger specific hands.
If you want to display a Spiderman to reflect him in the Super Sentai history, the MCU mold is the way to go.
I really wish that figure worked. He’s sadly much shorter than LC figures, like most Figuarts. On a similar note, I really wish SHF could scale with LC. SHF Akaranger and Vul Eagle are noticeably taller than the other Sentai SHFs but are still a tad short. Even my Kamen Rider kaijin which are sometimes meant to be larger than the heroes barely come close to LC Ranger height.
Remarkably, my SMP GaoKing arrived today. An absolutely fantastic kit, and pretty hefty thanks to the sheer amount of layered parts in the bison. Only downpoint was the Tiger. I would've loved if more of the stripes were pre-painted. I love the added articulation engineering in the arms, and the extra folding panels in the legs for full knee bends. It just... sucks so freaking much that GaoMuscle in an exclusive, and possibly GaoHunter and GaoIcarus as well. I would love to go full completionist but P-Bandai doesn't ship to Canada in the first place and most second-hand Japanese sites still don't offer shipping to here with the delays.
But we knew about these sets and the solo Shredder for awhile now thanks to leaks. I went all in on these as they're figures that cross both my checklist, still undecided on Shredder
@Dr Kain, you mentioned there may be up to 8 reveals. Not sure if 2 packs count as one or two. But if they count as one, we may hope that Shredder may be the 4th and they may reveal 4 more products on Friday. But if they count as 2, it wouldn't make sense if we got three 2-packs meaning 6 reveals, 7 if Shredder is revealed tomorrow and we still have Astronema and Ecliptor being 9.
If that does end up being all the LC reveals, I hope they have some other good stuff to show off for the rest of this “Power Month.”
How long ago did the metallic red ranger come out? I’m not going to find an original mmpr lightning red ranger so I was hoping this would be an option.
From what I think about the list, we are still missing the following F2043 Pirantishead F2044 Little Bang F2045 Sputnik Fan Boom Mutant Shredder F2056 Mars Adam F2970 Astronema and Ecliptor Camera Pinata
So, gonna put hope on a long shot here. I hope figure 100 is a mass-release Dragon Shield Red with the new helmet sculpt.
