Does she use a new body under there? It would also be odd for them to make a new body just for her, and just for it to be hidden by a big ass robe. I figured they would've upgraded her to the pinless and drop down hips body. Very curious. I was absolutely fine with my old one, hence why I don't have the new one. But since she's sold out everywhere and kinda pricey on the aftermarket, I'm kind of regretting not getting her. But, if they all have that problem with the legs, maybe it's better I didn't. Although that figure is mainly for the faces. I painted my Rita's wand as identical to the images of the show as I could, so Hasbro can't 1 up me on that. And I figured the body was the same. If I ever see it for sale again at a reasonable price i may grab it and see for myself. And probably just swap the heads for the better faces.

The reviews I saw make it look like it's just an all black female ranger body under the soft goods.

Could anybody who has the Dino Fury Battle Attackers villains snap a pic of how they scale with the MMPR figures?

They're only 1 sided figures, but cool designs....

That's what the old one is too. It's odd that they would screw up the leg on just this particular figure. And not upgrade her to the pinless limbs and drop down hips.

Bulk and Skull would have to be new molds, for characters that showed up for 3 pages, so I doubt they would do those, at least right away. If they do at all it'll be a limited exclusive or something.

Turbo Pink they'd probably give a Cassie head since they did TJ and not Tommy for the Turbo Red. But the Turbo team should be on their short list to get finished. And I'll just use my extra old heads for the movie team instead of the replacements.

Squat and Baboo would be sweet, but i think they'd go the Finster route with them and make them an exclusive, probably a 2 pack. And if they don't want it clearancing as much they should make smaller quantities.

Kat Ranger is probably my number 1 want of the ones we still need to finish teams. Kendall is a close second.

And I would love to get the villans. But I doubt most of them will be right away unfortunately.

I ordered the Ascention Megazord. I'll get it after I ship my PoL later. Still waiting on some stuff to come in. Hopefully they rerelease the Dragonzord. Aftermarket is steep.

They're 100% never going to make a civilian Bulk and Skull and they've already shown how much they favor BOOM. They've done a ton of unique sculpts in the line, so it's odd to me that you think they're out of the question? It's probably the only way we'd get them.

Going with TJ for Turbo was the wrong choice in my opinion. By the time the line comes back we'll probably need a Turbo Red refresh and Tommy is the most popular Ranger in general.

As for everything else you said, it just seems like the purpose of your post was to just shit on anything I'm wanting, which is just weird.

I wasn't trying to shit on your wants. I was just being realistic. And honestly, rereading my post, I don't see anything that looks like it was trying to shit on you. But I'm sorry if it made you feel that way. I was just stating how I think things would be.

I did say Bulk and Skull wouldn't be right away, not never. I doubt they'll start off with them. I can see them making them, but not out the gate. And they would possibly get the exclusive treatment. And for Squat and Baboo, I also said they could probably get made. Just most likely be an exclusive as well, like Finster was. As for the Turbo team, I agree TJ was the wrong choice. But they haven't been known to always make the right ones. If they stick to their trend, they'll give Turbo the replacement heads, which sucks. I hope they redo red with a Tommy head like you said, and give the rest the og team heads, but I'd just be happy to get the team finished in general, and if I have to use the old heads, so be it.

And basically for the rest, I'm right with you on wanting them. I would guess they would most likely piecemeal them though. I can't see them doing all of those dedicated sculpts in 1 or 2 waves. Even for ML they say they have to cost out the wave, which means a bunch of repaint bodies with new heads to make up for the 1 or 2 dedicated sculpts. They also have 6 to 8 figure waves. PR is half that. So, optimistically, 1 villan a wave could happen. But Hasbro do Hasbro. So some of those may be a while. I would prefer Devatox and Rito early. And Kat and Kendal hopefully pretty quick as well. And a Karone version of Lost Galaxy Pink would be stellar. Maybe they'll surprise me. I hope they do.

Honestly I'm hoping the lines not just dead though. And if/when they do bring it back they may even focus a whole lot on whatever new show they are making. While I understand that, I wouldn't enjoy it so much. I would really like some of those other teams to get finished. I'm a little surprised they didn't drop some Cosmic Fury figures on us before they stopped. I was expecting to at least see some of those. But maybe they were too unique to make right now.

I would never say never.  They MIGHT surprise us eventually.

I don't know how much they "heavily favor" BOOM.....it's just another outlet for them to draw from when making figures.  Really their only choices are content from the show or content from comics (BOOM).

Anyway, this all may be moot discussion if this turns into another Plasma Series.  I hope it doesn't.  

Meanwhile, it seems we're getting some nifty 1/6 scale figures via 3rd party based on the 1995 movie.  White Ranger is already pre-sold out:

I bought Koda a couple days ago, and as I was popping the joints he fuckin exploded. Like his abs shattered and he just fell apart. Definitely returning him, and hoping this isn't a wide spread issue. I'll end up buying another one soon, but none of them are as cheap as this one was, so I'll probably wait until he goes down on BBTS or something.

I got my replacement Koda in today. This one didn't explode out of box. Pretty happy about that. I actually ordered a bunch of figures from Pulse Outlet that I didn't get on release. I found it weird how most of the rangers I didn't get recently were all blue and yellow. RPM yellow, SPD yellow, Dino Charge blue, Lightspeed Blue, Wild Force Blue, and Dino Fury blue. May just make a forever blue display lol. So out of all those, I didn't have to repair anything. I was extremely surprised. I did have that first Koda explode, and my first Izzy had her belt break. But so far, most of the newer PR figures only needed some paint detail or joint tightening, usually the drop down hips. Just still amazed that it seems Hasbro finally figured out how to do PR well enough to not need fixes for every gd figure, and this is when they choose to "take a break."

I think that is what gnaws at me the most. They JUST got it right with the last wave. Right at the end. It's bewildering.

I dream of a line where all Rangers are released. Seems like the only line that might do that is Bandai of Japan's SHODO series. They're about 1/18 scale, but give you everything. Only thing we wouldn't get in that instance is the PR-exclusive Rangers.

This is the time in which I wish Power Rangers was more respected than it is. It is no more or less goofy than Marvel, Star Wars, Transformers, etc. We'd probably still have the Lightning Collection if it was.

Yellow is on amazon now for less than retail.  Blue might set you back.  He's climbing in price along with Green and Red.  Looks like places like BBTS are done getting shipments of these.
