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

Another review is upon us but this time it's not lego it something much more darker. This time we look at Mezco's 1st new figure for their new One:12 Collective line Dark Knight Returns Batman. This line is a mix of the detail and realism of 1:6 scale figures like Hot Toys and Sideshow, with compact size of a 6 inch scale. So lets being looking at this figure. So here he is Dark Knight Returns Batman, and he is amazing the design to best mimic the art work of Frank Miller. He is a mix of plastic and cloth that works really well for the figure. The Boots Gloves and Head are all plastic . The belt is a soft rubbery material, The suit is self a light flexible cloth, and the Bat emblem is a soft vinyl. On top of all of this e also includes severals accessories.  Batman Comes with 4 sets of hands, 2 heads, a boot with gun holster, a gun, a grapple hook , a stand , a flight stand arm, and a cape poser (this is new now clue what else to call it). With these ...
