A New Legacy

By -
So it been a while sense I've talk about toys or Power Rangers on this blog well today I'm going to do both today. Let's get started shall we by covering an announcement  back in February. During New York Toy Fair Bandai of America showed off many new figure for both the legacy line and the mass retail line, but it's what they didn't show that got everyone excited. Bandai announced that they where getting into the 6 inch  build-a-figure game like Marvel Legacy. Star Wars Black, DC Unlimited, and  Master of the Universe classics to name a few. Now among many of those mentioned above marvel the only one who still does a build-a-figure with DC only doing every now and then and most times it's not really a figure.

Now Bandai gave some info but not a lot on these figures. The parts to focus on here are 2 teams a year and the sixth ranger having accessories not a build-a-figure part. Now after this announcement it would then be months until we would get any more news on these figure, and about a week ago we got that news.

We got images of the 1st wave of the new pics of the new Legacy figures with Mighty Morphin and Ninja Storm

Now I like these figures even though a lot of people have complaints and I will address these as i go on. Please these are just first impression not reviews but lets get started. One problem people have with these images is the lack of weapons with exception of Green he has exactly what one would expect.  Another complaint is we still know nothing on the build-a-figures and one figure is missing from the addressed 6 figure wave is MIA. Now that the rational complaints are out of the way lets talk about the nitpicking

Now these figures have been compared to S.H.Figuarts but that's not a fare comparison.The reason i say this is that was that line was made for Sentai fans and meant to be show accurate. Whereas these figures feel more like a comic version of that character than a show version. This design also fits with the current mass toy line in design. I'm excited to see whats coming hopefully we will get more news at SDCC and Power Morphacon

My top 5 Villians in Power Rangers

So lately I’ve been watching Power Rangers Super Mega Force (that is a mouth full to say). As much as the last season Mega Force was hard to watch I find myself enjoying this season.   Now as I watch the show and geek out over the use of the legendary Ranger powers I got to thinking about villains and I came up with my top 5 favorites. Now without any more delay here is the list.  5. Deker Now Deker is a sub villain from Samurai. He was once a human whose wife gave up both of their humanity to save his life. Deker sought power and to challenge those he viewed as strong as such he kept challenging the Red Ranger to test his metal. In doing so this both character where strongly developed and made for some of the best stories in the Samurai seasons.  Now another awesome fact about Deker was he could take human form. This human form is played by Ricardo Medina, Jr. who is also known (in Power Ranger Fandom) for playing Cole Evans the Red Wild Force Ranger.

So in My life some of my favorite types of games, anime, and hero shows have a common theme and that theme is Mechs. Like the theme of Megas XLR says "I Dig Giant Robots", However the genre is not just limited to giant robots. The mech genre has so much cross over with fantasy, SciFi, and Tokusatsu that giving it a definition is well very difficult. That doesn't mean I'm not about to try.
