First revealed waaaaay back in June, we finally have images to confirm the upcoming Legacy Power Rangers figures from the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers The Movie!
Seen for the first time these figures are modeled on the original Power Rangers suits from the classic 1995 MMPR film. Though the movie came out at the height of Power Rangers popularity there are actually very few toys that represent the things seen in the film. The armored up designs the rangers sported are the most criminally over looked though. But rectifying their absence from a toyline for almost 20 years Bandai of America has created this new assortment of Legacy Power Rangers! The assortment will contain 6 figures 5 of which are rangers (Red, Blue, Black, Yellow, & Pink). The 6th figure which has yet to be seen is the awesome villain of the original film, Ivan Ooze!
Defying all the odds it seems the sure bet of a White Ranger has been skipped for this assortment but will no doubt be released at a later time. In any case it appears that these figures are based on the looks the rangers had in the early part of the film before losing their powers, as indicated by the origianl power coins on their chests. They appear to include their awesome personal weapons that were created for the film in lieu of their TV show counterparts as well, though only Pink Ranger is shown with hers.
For now enjoy several press images of these exciting figures courtesy of the awesome people at Rangercrew!
Courtesy of Rangercrew Once again they've dug these up from the TRU server.
Based on the suit designs of the Original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers movie, the assortment will contain 5 rangers (red, blue, yellow, black, pink) and Ivan Ooze which has yet to be pictured. No word on a White Ranger release but it's almost guaranteed.
I for one am RIDICULOUSLY excited for these. The Movie designs are some of my favorite original concepts from Power Rangers ever.
NEED SO BAD.
I'm so happy right now. I've waited years for these to be made.
I'm excited for these but.. What the heck are those weapons? They look like coke bottles with a handle.
I feel kind of nostalgic for these.
May actually pick them up.
I am going to drybrush and panel line the shit out of of those.
Oh man, they are beautiful. This has me pretty damn excited now as I hadn't even heard that they were being released.
Its a shame they couldn't have found a way to do switchable coins on these releases. The Ninja coins might have seemed like the obvious route but I guess they went with the Dinos because the actual fight footage is prior to them losing their powers (as all the later suit stuff is in the zords).
I need those so bad, despite the quality of the movie it is one of my most vivid memory of my childhood. (My mom had her purse stolen the night I was supposed to get in on rental on VHS, when I had chicken pox ><)
i hate being that guy but why no white ranger? i just hate that they only did 5 rangers. its not as if he was only in the last fight scene. just feels like an incomplete team to me.
