I’m just sick and tired of waiting on Time Force Pink. Wes has been lonely without his future girlfriend.

Remastered are coming in sets of two, right? Blue and Yellow? Unless I missed one. :(
According to that video linked previously, apparently Hasbro is shipping the new Remastered Black with a refresh of Yellow and Blue, so these 3 together will now be considered Wave 2 of the Remastered line. No one's quite sure why it's happening this way, but following this new wave, Red, Green and Pink are slated for Wave 3 in October. So no worries, nothing missed yet.

There's several youtube videos out with comparisons. Check out D Amazing.

I'm still on the fence about these. The price plus the fact that I have the first run plus the fact that I can't see them before buying are all keeping me from committing at the moment.

Thanks, ill have to look, the accessories and civilian faces aren't enough for me. But shades of color may be. I'll have to do research

I assume a new Rita and Zedd will be in Wave 4 if the remastered line with a new White Ranger. I would be shocked if they didn't do a new White Ranger.

Personally, the figures don't look worth it if you have the first run. The one exception may be the eventual red ranger since the helmet of the first run was so horribly off.

If these had a 24.99 price tag, or even a 27.99 price tag, I could see myself getting them. For 34 bucks? He'll no.

That's tough to argue. Personally my big want from the Remastered would be the morphing hands and morphers. Worth all the money just to get those? No, no way. (I'm also anticipating a spectacularly beautiful unmasked Kimberly head this time around that will make everyone scoffing at these to do a complete 180 and be all in. If I'm wrong, then good!)

Also, I already solved the bad Red Ranger helmet dilemma. I bought the color swap 2 pack on sale, kept the red helmet and the blade blaster configurations I wanted, sold the rest and made my money back. Recommended.

it's most likely this new helmet will be reuse for the remastered red ranger.

ah so the lense thickness is really the issue, it's much slimmer on the original, thank you

Sometimes it's best not to ask "what's wrong" with something if you have no idea and you are fine with what you already have. Because someone will tell you and you can't unsee it. It often just leads to more spending.

As far as the MMPR helmets go, I've seen people nit pick just about every one. Some I can't get on board with. I personally saw the inaccuracies in the Red helmet, but I've seen people claim Blue's helmet is "way" off, and I'm not seeing it.

Honestly I knew about the issue with the red helmet since its release, and that pic definitely shows it well. But it never bothered me for some reason. Maybe cause I use the unhelmeted heads and I don't see it on a daily basis? But it looks a little stylized which isn't bad to me. The more accurate helmet does look better, don't get me wrong, but I don't hate the inaccurate one. Now Zack, Rocky and Kim's faces annoy me to no end. Conner and the Walgreens Zhane are also on that list. And metallic Tommy looks more like Jason Mews then JDF. At least it looks like *a* Jason though I suppose.

On a FB group somebody shared the new Boom Green Ranger, idk if he is legit or not but be aware that it has his identity on the box, which could be a spoiler if you are not caught up. It also comes with the sword of darkness, but idk if that is actually in the comics or not yet. I hope it is real, but also really want a civilian head for him, and worry because a lot of comic characters (Ranger Slayer, Psycho Green, etc) have not had civilian faces.
