So as a follow up to my last post and the amount of time I've been playing with my new Legacy DragonZord I thought I'd talk about what I'd like to see from the toy line from this movie. Now for this I'm going to break it down real simple each toy type will have a description of what it is and at the end I'll put my wish list. That being said lets get started. Figures This one is real simple your 5 rangers, villains, and maybe minor characters (example Alpha 5). Now I will be a bit more direct don't go smaller than 5 inches. The current line is a good example. Now  there is another big don't here. DON'T just re release old figures with a metallic paint jobs. Please create figures that match the movie design. Another type of figure that would work and could be at the same scale as the rangers would be a MegaZord figure much like the Retrofire line and be to scale with the villains and monsters. Another don't is DON'T Over do Gimmick fi...

So I've been meaning to make this post for a while since the announcement of the mighty Morphin Power Rangers reboot movie. I kind of have some high expectations for this movie. I don't really want high expectations for this film but being a fan for 21 years kind of put them on a higher pedestal. So I did some soul-searching, and I came up with a list of what I'd like to see the movie do. So I broke it down into three categories of what needs done: characters, story, and Design.  Characters Rangers Okay my opinion hear me upset some fans. I'd honestly for this movie like to see five new characters. I think the movie would be better served with five new characters instead of recasting the original five because their actors iconically those characters.  However this is a great opportunity to maybe play with some of the way you betray an archetype in the movie.  Villains  Here's another area where my opinion may not be a popular one. Now here's the ...

I’ve been playing/ looking into some old game and franchise of my favorite FPSs Doom, Half-Life, Wolfenstein, etc. This got me to thinking when did competitive become more important than narrative. Now hear me out on this one my favorite FPSs have a strong narrative though many have great competitive multiplayer. However I was surprised when Wolfenstein A New Order did not have multiplayer, But then I thought about Titan Fall and it not having a single player outside of the training tutorial. And this got me thinking does a game with strong multiplayer need a single player or vice versa. I looked at the Call of Duty games every time one gets announced it is with a story trailer mind you some times that trailer and the final story have nothing to do with one another. Now Call of Duty games are famed by their multiplayer gameplay not the single player in fact there is only one of the modern Call of Duty Games that I would even say have a story worth playing (Black Ops if you were wonder...

So I love my collecting every new toy is a new adventure some better than others some worse.  Recently I have been having a rapidly growing spree with one particular brand of figure makers.  This one is with Tamashii Nations has gotten a little out of hand now Bluefin has made it much easier by having a domestic launch of many of their figures new and old however  their NY Toy Fair display and news was rather disappointing. Now with the last few months I have been looking over my preorders  and it is riddled with Tamashii Nations figures mostly S.H. Figarts line and with that mostly Power Rangers/Sentai. So I made a grownup decision what on the list right now will be the last of it I'm finishing off my power Rangers toys and the Kamen Rider stuff.  Now I'm jumping on their Naruto line because if it like the DBZ line it will take forever and become insanely hard to get quickly. I'm also keeping my eye on the Mario line as well and hopeful for more Nintendo Figur...

Ok so I’m not going to lie I’m half assing this review for two major reasons. One they share all the major complaints I had with Red and two Green outside of paint apps is the same mold as red well the helmet is all three share the same body molds. They are really awesome figures and if you can find them get them, however they were web exclusive so good luck finding them for less than $90. The only confusing thing was the inclusion of pinks weapon so below is the picture I took for my collection and if you want to see more check out this review 

So Lately I’ve been very much conducting my very own Power Rangers Train (LOL you’ll get this in 2016). Now I get it I’m kind of getting annoying but anyone who knows me when I get excited I go a little over board. Well the Power Ranger crazy had support in the form of a website dedicated to tokusatsu (a Japanese style of film and TV usually associated super heroes and kiaju). Well after finishing up recording and editing this week episode of our podcast (episode 40) I usually take time and listen to some of my favorites podcasts. Well while listing to the podcast for the above mentioned tokusatsu site they talked about Power Rangers this week. Now while listing I excited for a positive adult prospective to the new show PRSMF (that show title is a mouth full). I didn’t get that this week Instead I got a lot of Jaded sentai fans. Now this episode was longer than normal because they took a break but right about the 1 hour mark I stopped listening with 40 minutes remaining. When the ...

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 R...
