NYCC 2016 – Bandai America Questions and Answers

Posted on October 7, 2016 at 2:37 pm by Chris under New York Comic Con, Power Rangers

Our very own Sentai Tamashii/@SoulInkChu dropped by the Bandai America booth and asked some of the questions that we’ve seen floating around the fandom in the last few months! When is the Black and Gold Legacy Titanus being released? Will we ever see a Talon Ranger figure? What about those Dino Chargers that were gold in color and had previous Red Rangers on them? Aren’t we missing a couple of the 6.5″ Legacy figures from Ninja Storm and In Space?

We have answers! Click “Read More” to see them! Then join in our discussion!

TokuNation (TN): Dino Charger morpher has a sound byte when the Spino Charger is inserted that says “TALON RANGER”. Now, we all know who that’s supposed to be. We also know thanks to the French airings whether or not he appears, and he’s not shown in the final waves of toys. There’s a large contingent of fans who want a Talon Ranger/Deathryuger figure, just as they wanted a Poisandra figure … so how can we make that happen?

Bandai America (BA): We’re working on it, trying to make it happen. Stay tuned!

TN: What are the release details for the Black and Gold Legacy Titanus?

BA: Early Spring 2017, possibly June 2017. May have a more definite answer Saturday at NYCC. (we will revisit)

TN: There was some golden Dino Chargers that had previous Red Rangers on them that showed up online. Is that something that’s still releasing?

BA: Those were intended to be a convention exclusive that didn’t materialize. Currently, we have no plans on continuing the pursuit of the release of those items.

TN: In the new Legacy 6.5″ figure line, there’s four Rangers you skipped on the teams that were released or that have been shown to release – the remaining 3 Ninja Storm Rangers, and the In Space Silver Ranger. Are there plans to get them released, or not at this time?

BA: All will be revealed in time … stay tuned! ;) (NOTE: We re-worded the answer as we don’t believe the answer originally given is meant to be shared at this time. But in our opinion, the answer was Yes, and soon)

TN: When do you plan to announce the mystery Legacy 6.5″ figures that release as part of the Zeo waves?

BA: The molds didn’t make it in time to be revealed at New York Comic Con. We will reveal them in the near future.

TN: Cliche “WHEN ZEO” Legacy question

BA: (laughter)

TN: Kickback/@TokuChris wants to know how the yet-to-be-announced Legacy Zeo Gold Ranger toy line of 2018 is proceeding and wants to stress the importance of including his theme song in to all of his toys as a play pattern. IE: Move his arm, Gold Ranger theme song plays. Open the package? Gold Ranger theme song plays. Walk by it at the store? Gold Ranger theme song plays. Etc.

BA: (laughter) Duly noted!

TN: Are there any plans to continue the “TokuNation Edition” repaints, you know, the green/black/yellow Megazords, etc.

BA: That may continue in Power Rangers Ninja Steel. Stay tuned!

    They didn't exactly seem to answer much of anything.

    That was a fairly useless Q&A.

    Should've asked when we're getting Legacy Shogun Megazord!

    We have 3 of the 4 main MMPR Legacy Megazords already, we know Shogun is a near-guarantee, we just need to know when we can get a first look and a possible release date.

    They never answer those questions. Like, ever. The best you'll ever get if you do ask is "Perhaps."

    The embargo is strong with this one.
    Ehh, I will wait until they feel comfy with answering.
    Ain't nothing wrong with that.

    Maybe someone could ask them over the weekend about the decision making on the articulation for the Legacy figures.

    To be expected by this point. Like any company or authoritative head, you follow a basic set of parameters, which include but are not limited to: Answer every question with a vague, rather dull non-answer. Give indirect hints which should realistically never be taken seriously, but secretly hope they are. Nothing is set in stone unless the company heads say it is.

    Probably others. Sadly, I don't belong to any particular company:

    Regarding the Q&A:

    There are some things I'm not going to ask. "WHEN ARE WE GETTING LEGACY ZEO" is a worthless question. They'll say "we're working on it". Because even if they are working on it they can't say anything about it.

    But we did get confirmation that the 4 Rangers in the Legacy 6.5" line that were skipped (Thunder Rangers, Green Samurai Ranger, Silver Ranger) are coming out and will be revealed soon (I re-wrote the answer because I'm 100% sure the answer was candid between Bandai and Tom), at least, the side-comments with it.

    Talon Ranger? They can't say "WE ARE DOING IT!" because they can't pass the show. I originally worded the question based on the fact we KNOW what happens in the show (Thanks France), but I left the spoilers in and had to remove them. And Bandai isn't going to say "Well, because he is/isn't in the show, we can/can't do it" ... they gave a much deeper answer to Power Rangers Talk on YouTube that explains it better than I can.

    If you guys wanted "WHEN IS LEGACY SHOGUN" or "WHAT IS NEXT LEGACY REVEAL" and all that you're wasting your time and I won't waste my time on those questions because you won't get answers.

    Still, I'd like to know what make them choose what ranger teams to go with first. Like obviously we all know why they started with MMPR, but why Ninja Storm as well? Is it because of Ninja Steel? If so, why not do the other three rangers immediately? Why not go in release order? Why not do the oldest team and the latest team? For example, MMPR and Dino Charge. Zeo and Super Megaforce. Turbo and Megaforce.
