New Power Rangers Ninja Steel Toys Revealed!

Sabertooth & Stegosaurus Zords plus "Mega-Battle"-esque forms for Red & Blue.

...creative. Not necessary, creative. At least America is contributing something to the property. Also worthy of a tip of the hat are the Ninja Master Master Modes, Master Blade, and Super Blaster.

These are cool and all, but look like the the gorilla blast zord where they have literally no compatibility with the other zords.
is BoA going to release actual zords from the show like the sub surfer zord. i'am starting to think that's not going to be released at all, yet we are getting all these unnecessary "zords" that almost 100% won't be in show.

I really don't get the weird gimmick toys.

Even as a kid I didn't like them, so I don't entirely buy the "they're for the kids, not the collectors" argument either. Sure, some kids do, but people treat it as a universal thing.

I'm not a fan of them either, but depending on how it's implemented, they do tend to get higher sales numbers.

At least when implemented right. Outside of the 'vehicles', I don't really see the power up armors selling that well. The staction figures included are a major step backwards from previous too. Used to at least get a decently articulated figure by comparison with a different deco, or at most, missing some paint apps to offset the cost.

But then again, other gimmick toys done weirder have sold, and entire fads have been built around gimmicks and worked too.

Do these have anything to do with Ninja Steel's gimmicks? I don't get it...

I Hope all of this makes it in to the show.

i dont think any of this is going to be in show. just their to sell toys, while the actual in show stuff like the Sub Surfer zord are still waiting for a toy release or at least announcement or tease of a toy release. like these 2 zords and the gorilla blast zord are just for toy sales.

We've had plenty of weird extra vehicles that can attach to their corresponding megazords (hideous as some of those combos were), is it really that hard to design an arm port in there somewhere?
