So Green Ranger is out and from the reviews I've seen he looks fantastic.
The rest of the team were shown at SDCC but some of their helmets look so bulbous, but they do have the little helmet clips (which is the first I've seen a company do this in the 6 inch scale) so I'm conflicted.
I did a quick photoshop to resize Kimberly's head and the proportions work much better.
Hela's head was huge in the prototype pictures but by production they had went back and corrected it, I could only hope they do the same here.
I can finally make the comment I've been waiting almost a month to make:
Those are some gritty-ass turtles.
I am super...superduper even...excited for the comic version of The Mask.
DarkXorn, are you still getting notifications of every post in this thread now that you've marked it as solved? There must be a way to turn that feature off, but that's the only thing I can think of.
Yeah, for every reply. I don't mind it, on the old forums I was getting random notifications for threads I'd never even viewed before. Atleast it's consistent now!
I feel like mezco heads do run large in general, but it always looks worse in photos than it does in hand, so I usually don’t worry about it.
That said, that Pink ranger head is gigantic, what the hell 😂
Still kicking myself for not pre-ordering Solomon Kane. Hoping it won't be expensive in the aftermarket like Death Dealer.
@tsi These were really a present surprise from SDCC.
I have 4 different versions of the turtles on my shelf right now (NECA movie, NECA toon, NECA Mirage Lawson, Super7 Ultimates). I really don't need another. But I'm tempted, they look much better than I thought they would when they went up for pre-order.
The Rangers do have a bobble head thing going on. It looks worse on the smaller, female, body than the male one. That said, the Green Ranger looks good from what I’ve seen. Has Mezco started shipped it or are all of the reviews out there from people who bought it at the convention?
I think the turtles look fine, I still don’t really see anything with them that makes me want to drop 400 bucks on yet another set of turtles though. It’s like they exist just so Mezco can say “Yeah, we did turtles too.”
I thought I could pass on the Turtles, but I ended up caving. It helped that I could use my Mezco rewards points on them. But as a long time Neca collector, I'm a sucker for the grittier look & darker colors of this set. BUUUUUUUT I'm one of the lucky ones who's gotten totally screwed over my Mezco direct, with a billing issue & useless customer service. So now I'm really stressing about the open preorders I still have with them.

They shipped the green ranger out, I got mine at least and I was on the waitlist. He looks really great in person. IMO the Mezco look works great for some properties and really not great for others. The rangers are kind of campy, they look like guys in suits, and that’s what the figure looks like. I love it.
It pushed me over the edge and I ordered the damn box set of the other 5.🤦🏻♂️
Do you guys expect them to solicit anything else from MMPR? I think they would have spread out the green and white ranger releases if they were going deeper. They’d kill it with some of the monsters but I don’t know if there’s the interest at the mezco price point.
the turtles still available to order anywhere?
Thanks

Interesting. I ordered one and haven’t heard a peep about it. They gave themselves a very generous shipping window though so it’s not technically late yet.
I was on the waitlist for Green Ranger, got moved to Pre-Order, it changed to Processing, they charged my card, but it's been a week and a half and it hasn't shipped. Itching to get him at this point!
Mine just says "Order Status: New." And of course they already charged me way back in June for it.
