Once again our very own administrator Sentai Tamashii has sat down with Bandai Of America reps to discuss the upcoming Power Rangers Super Megaforce toyline!
Super Megaforce Ranger figures
will be divided into 4″ and 5″ categories. 4″ figures will feature less articulation and paint apps compared to the 5″ figures.
Legendary Zords and Vehicles
All additional vehicles/zords that can combine with the Legendary Megazord will come with a Ranger Key specific to the series the vehicle represents. The other vehicles shown to be able to combine with the Legendary Megazord on display will have uniform names. “Insert series name” Cycle. So for the bikes on display currently they’d be the Lightspeed Rescue Cycle and the Time Force Cycle. The Zeo vehicle seen on display is called the Red Battlezord Car. And the 2 additional robots seen on display in front of the Legendary Megazord are called Exozords and can accommodate Ranger figures to pilot them.
Ranger Keys
will initially be sold with other toys in the line. They will later be sold in a 3-Pack format but there are currently NO PLANS to offer the keys in full ranger team sets. Additionally the flip gimmick is not activated by any sort of button at all. You push the edge of the key and it flips automatically. The Wild Force Red Lion Zord also features a ranger key gimmick. One can be inserted behind it’s head but there are no electronics present for it to activate. Only an action feature.
And this rounds out our last interview with BOA at NYCC 2013! On behalf of the entire community we’d like to thank them for sitting down to take the time to have a discussion with Sentai Tamashii! They were kind enough to take a look at our little operation here and have expressed an interest in working with us in the future to promote even better Power Rangers products! We’re happy to help in any way we can!

The Exo-Squad fan in me does like ExoZords...
No team packs for keys? I wonder what the assortments for the 3-packs will be like, then... That's rather lame in my opinion. :/
So that's what they are. I actually like how the Exo Zords look, so depending on price, I might actually pick them up. As for the keys, it sucks that they might not do team packs, but then again I wasn't really going to get them a whole lot anyways.
So what, all the springs are for are a slightly more assisted flip then the JP ones and not an actual auto-flip gimmick?
... I enlarged the picture of the Exo-Zords (And I love their look close-up. Especially the headsculpt on Gokai-Oh's where it looks like it has long piratey hair) and I caught sight of Lion there in the upper-left corner? .. Is that a missile in his mouth? Is that the key-gimmick? It fires a missile? .-. I dont know how to feel about that.
What's worst, is that the "Fire" symbol isn't even in his mouth anymore. Just like the "Heaven" symbol its just awkwardly sitting in a place it shouldn't be, visible in modes it shouldn't be visible in. Gokaioh's "Rekka Daizantou" (Fire Smasher in PR? Or was that the name of the attack) is also awkardly sticking out of his butt, instead of being hidden in Lion form. Total lack of effort on this guy.
So, three-pack Ranger Keys only? I'm assuming it's just the "Guy" Ranger Keys also. Way to give female Rangers the finger yet again, Bandai.
I understand that Power Rangers is a franchise for boys, but come on.
i dont care about perfection with the zords because it's just paint, if it functions like the show im down for it even though it doesnt have the pop up gimmick, that doesnt really bother me.
because the gokaiger zords pop up gimmick was a pain in rear anyway, they couldnt even stay in so why bother keeping that?
i wish the gokaiger fans would just accept for the boa has done for us because they could easily just give us nothing and spend kings ransom on gokaiger merch and it's pretty much what you have to spend if you want perfection on the boa merchandise, i mean is that what you want?
is it fair for other people that cant afford that, have to spend that much money? you really think people can deal with that? it's crazy.
