Not a fan of the Power Rangers, but I have heard and seen that the figures released are great. 

[Patr10ts]

I swear if I see the words target exclusive I'm going to lose it. 

[Belmont13]

Can't wait, I expect complaints about teams not being completed, comic book rangers being made, figures from whatever gimmick PR show not being made, etc.

What about Amazon?

[DylanRaven055]

I'm still having mixed feelings about this line. Most of what they've released looks cool, but so far it's been nearly impossible for me to get any of the more recent waves because of lack of availability, or some weird pricing from places like Amazon. Like come on hasbro, I wanna buy these but you not making it easy.

All of their transmissions are flooded with negativity. I mean, sure the lines are not perfect and we all have our wishlists, but there are more constructive ways of voicing these things.

Yeah this is my problem, I adore this line, I said as soon as I got into it though I'm strickly MMPR, and maybe a few cherry picking of cool rangers here and there, But this line has caused me nothing but heartache and pain, I think there was 1 figure that I had any easy time getting and that was the White Ranger, the rest of them have been nowhere in stores, sold out instantly online.. or on secondary market for stupid high gouged prices, the distrubutation on these is just dumb awful. I had to scour the streets for the other figures, I have been so having much frustration trying to get the recent Trini and Billy it's has made me almost at so many occassions want to just stop and sell what I have and just go back and buy all of the Legacy rangers.. at least I can get those

I mean I just want Trini, Billy and Zack and I'd peace out on this line... but looks like thats not happening... just expecting soon enough we see a non dragon shield black ranger and it'll be as annoying to get as Trini and Billy are right now, also making people buy Rita with a Zedd with little to no differences.. ugh , and Alpha with a horrid Happy meal looking Zordon *smh*

Agreed, I just feel that in the case of Power Rangers people tend to overreact a bit,.considering the line hasn't been around for long.

[Lord_Scareglow]

So this is Wave 6? , these images leaked

MMPR Black Ranger, MMPR Green Ranger, Zeo Red Ranger, Yellow Space Ranger

I am so confused at how passionate fans are about Power Rangers. I just don't get it. Power Rangers haven't really been relevant for over a decade. At least not anywhere near the same extent that they had in the 90s.

Besides, the original Super Sentai shows are far better. Have you heard the music in those shows? Catchy as all hell

I don't actually collect the line but see video reviews and toy photography from them all the time and they seem like great figures so I don't get the complaints sometimes.

Will be updating this thread with whatever new products are revealed in today's video live-stream event. So stay-tuned for more.

I updated full coverage of today's stream at the top with images and video.

[Gilgamesh79]

Not really very interested. I already have Goldar and don't care for the Rangers. I want Rita to be released by herself. Other than that I want more of the monsters to get made.

 have little doubt Rita will get another release at some point.

[Belmont13]

I saw that the video for this had quite a few comments from GI Classified collectors angry about the Cobra Island figures situation.

LOL, I was to busy posting what was said to read the comments, but that is funny.

[Lord_Scareglow]

So looks like MMPR Green Ranger got scrapped out last minute for Re-release Goldar..

At least this wave will give us the Black Ranger, he's the last figure I need released before I can get off the train for these figures

but than more MMPR you say.... Monsters? if it's monsters well I'm going to want those..damn you Hasbro

[Asterix]

I wonder if there is any chance of Hasbro doing some Sentai stuff, such as shows that were not made into Power Rangers, either because they were made BEFORE Zyuranger or Saban entertainment just chose to skip the show for...whatever reason. Maybe they didn't think the theme would translate to a Western audience. This is probably why they've skipped ToQger and Zyuohger.

COULD Hasbro make toys of these figures, or is that a whole other licensing issue? Even if they could, would they think it worth it? Kids wouldn't know what rangers they are without a show, but adult collectors probably would. I think it's safe to say most adults out there know Power Rangers origins, and many have actually watched Sentai shows.

I guess I should've specified, but yes... I mean... I remember him with short hair (like the first head) and dreads/braids
