Our own Sentai Tamashii is at Toy Fair 2016 and spent some time with Bandai America. Here are some snippets of information while we await on pictures!
- The Ninja Megazord on display was NOT the Legacy Ninja Megazord – it was the original toy, simply there as a placeholder.
- Will retail between $80-$90
- Legacy Figures – appear to be 6″ tall, more detail, not “powerful Rangers” style but still American muscle style
- Female Legacy Figures have slits in skirts to allow figures’ legs to move
- Each Legacy Figure will have a “build a figure” piece to build that season’s Megazord
- 6th Rangers in the Legacy line will have more accessories instead of a “build a figure” piece
- There will be 3 assortments released in a year, with 2 seasons per year
- First year will be Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and Power Rangers Ninja Storm – thanks Ninja Steel influence!
- Assortment 1 will be Ninja Storm Red, Blue, and Yellow, Mighty Morphin Red, Green and one other figure
- Ninja Coins when? Bandai America doesn’t want to let collectors down – still many more shows to reveal things at this year
- Currently no other focus other than mainline toys and Legacy toys (sorry Ranger Key fans!)
- Bandai America cannot discuss anything Movie 2017 related at this time.
- Future Legacy release? “All in due time” … stay tuned, still three big conventions this year (SDCC, NYCC, PMC)
- Bandai committed to not letting girl fans down – there will be plenty of female oriented items released
Stay tuned for high res pictures from the event!
