zeo ranger 5

Well, looks like we've got our official Toyfare Super Legends Poll Choices!

• MMPR Pink Ranger
• PRZ Red Ranger
• PRTF Quantum Ranger
• PRNS Red Ranger
• PRDT Blue Ranger
• PRSPD Omega Ranger
• PRMF Solaris Knight


Gotta say, I am a "bit" disappointed by their choices.
We already have decent articulation figures from Ninja Storm on...
and why the continued Red Ranger love? We got the over-abundance of
Red Rangers during the 15th anniversary, so why again?

Also, the poll does not seem to be online yet at wizarduniverse.com.
Why can't we just get a 5-Pack of the original team and be done with it?

For me personally, the only good choices here are Pink Ranger,
Solaris Knight and Quantum Ranger. Everone else in this group needs
to not be voted on at all, and MAYBE Bandai will get the point.

Heck, just vote for KIMBERLY... if all the others have no votes,
they might... just might understand that we want NEW MMPR FIGURES!!

I know a lot of people would want Solaris simply for the fact that they never MADE one of him the first time round, but this time, I think I'd rather have either an MMPR Pink, Red Zeo or Quantum Ranger.

MMPR Pink could go with MMPR Green and White

Red Zeo could go with Gold Zeo

While not one I would go fo, Red Wind could go with Samurai Ranger.

I hope Quantum Ranger, Omega Ranger, or MMPR Pink wins the vote.

Are they just going to make one from those choices or two? I know the page says Bandai needs help in "choosing the next Power Ranger" (implying just one) but they've released them in pairs in the past.

I get that Red Zeo could go with Gold Zeo, but give me Pink, Blue, Green
and Yellow Zeo before another Red one.

[Isamu_Ozu]

i'm voting MMPR Pink.

[⚡Sadsmileyface]

Should we rig the vote? Decide which one we want and vote for it en masse?

[Dino_Ranger_White]

Kim...ber...lee! Kim...ber...lee! Kim...ber...lee!!!!!!!!

[Jhiaxus]

Aww, no love for Armed Tyranno Ranger? It'd be the cheapest one to produce! They've already got the shield, dagger and upper arms from Green Ranger!

I voted for Zeo Red, mainly because if I had a Pink Ranger between Green and White I'd be tempted to do weird stuff to her.

[JDF'd]

God, please vote for Solaris Knight. I'm begging people to control their hormones and their desire for nostalgic fanwank. Forget Kimberly. There are plenty of Kim figures out there. Solaris Knight doesn't have a basic figure and for that reason alone you should pick him.

I'm not a Mystic Force fan but I'll be damned if I don't want to add his figure to fill out the collection. I know for a fact that so many of people bitched and moaned day and night that there wasn't a Solaris Knight figure. Now you have a chance to fix that. Please don't ignore that in favor of Kimberly.

She's not real. It's just a toy. You can't have sex with her... unless you're a deviant that would drill a hole in the toy. *shudders*

I won't lie. There's a lot of figures I'd love to have. I'm a big fan of Shane and a Shane/Cam duo would be nice. But at the end of the day - as a collector - I want a complete set and Mystic Force/Magiranger is the only team that doesn't feel complete on my shelf.

I just don't see the point of getting a Kim figure unless they plan on releasing four more figures to make the whole team. Since they're running a poll it seems unlikely. So please, finish one team instead of making another team only 1/3rd complete.

VOTE SOLARIS KNIGHT~!

Also, here's a little better scan of the pages of the Toyfare Magazine.

VOTE SOLARIS KNIGHT~!

I'm thinking the exact same thing.

[Dino_Ranger_White]

You forget... the Solaris Knight Super Legends figure WILL NOT
fit in with the other figures from Bandai. This will be Super-Legends styled,
and depending on which body-type they decide to use, may even be
shorter or taller than the others... plus, he will not be on steroids.

Kimberly is totally the way to go. Not because of nostalgia or hormones,
but they will actually make a Super Legends FEMALE figure!

That, and the fact that she would look kick-ass next to Green and White Ranger!

[JDF'd]

I don't need to know about your fantasies of Kimberly getting tag teamed by Tommy and his clone.

He'll be a Super Legends RANGER, not MEGAZORD; they're not going to make his head crest three feet long.

People complain about the lack of female action figures, but Power Rangers isn't one of the worst offenders. There's been at least one figure per female Ranger every season, not like Mattel's Avatar line, which had, I think, NO girls at all.

Think it through before you completely dismiss MMPR Pink. With a good MMPR female sculpt, the whole team would suddenly be a few head sculpts away. MMPR Pink could easily be turned into Yellow, and Bandai could issue the whole team (if the line continues), using MMPR Green and Pink's bodies as bases.

I think it'd be freaking hilarious if Bandai threw us a curveball and made MMPR Yellow out of a male body, a la Zyuranger.

Dude...that wouldn't matter. If they use the RPM body styling - which they're using with Titanium and Green Samurai - Solaris Knight would fit right in anyway. The Bandai Japan original that came as a set with Skarpet was actually a little bit shorter than the core five Magiranger figures, IIRC. So a Super Legends version with the RPM body styling would fit in fine. (Even more so if BoA were to straight DISS BoJ and make both the lamp-type Magilamp Buster AND a Grip Phone for him - I think the BoJ one only had the gun-type Magilamp Buster...)
Of course, I would HEAVILY prefer if ALL the SL figures had that awesome Sound Fury mold from the Jungle Fury line (used for the Green Ranger; I think White and Gold used that awful Jungle Master mold), but I digress...

I want a reprint of Kimberly just as much as the next person - hell, I'd rather see head-swap versions of Kim, Kat, Cassie, AND Aisha like the Mystic Legend figures - but I have to agree with big man JDF'd in that we really should pull to complete a team. And since Mystic Force just ain't complete...it's only right that we vote to make it so. Solaris Knight, all the way!!

ElusiveWookiee - You may be right, but what are the odds that they'd actually wanna do that?

Jhiaxus - We kinda sorta DID get that with all the original mold MMPR Yellows. Those were BEFORE BoJ ever started using the female molds. (BoA started at around In Space, I think BoJ didn't catch up to the BoA body molds until like Gaoranger - the Timeranger dudes are bulky like the Carranger/Turbo figures, and Time Pink ain't much better...) But yeah, that would be pretty funny. Of course, that would go for LG Yellow, LR Yellow, TF Yellow, and WF Yellow.

PRZ Red Ranger FTW

Power Rangers is cancelled. How many more SL figures do we honestly think we're getting? I'm dismissing MMPR Pink because your idea seems a tad farfetched. If the rest of the MMPR team was even on BoA's radar don't you think that at least Jason would have been another voting option? It's pretty clear that they're skipping around to include the Red/Sixth Rangers of teams. So what's the chance of them doing one entire team? Be honest. If they were even thinking about SLing the entire MMPR team then we'd have more than Green and White by now or they'd just do the entire team at once since a set of the 7 rangers would probably sell fairly well.

I'm trying to think about this as logically as possible. If I knew that we'd be getting the entire MMPR team then I'd be game. But I sincerely doubt it. Heck, it's the same mentality why when Hot Topic released MMPR key toppers and wristbands they only did Green, Red and Pink. They aren't looking to cover the team. They're looking at what's most popular. So knowing that we probably would NOT get the whole team it seems smarter to me to at least finish the Mystic Force team while we can instead of just having two of the six original rangers.

Sorry. Not entirely true there.
The wristbands were released in ALL SIX COLORS.
The key caps... not so much.
