The following article is an opinion article written by TokuNation.com webmaster and editor-in-chief TokuChris. The opinions expressed in this article do not necessarily reflect the feeling of other staff members of TokuNation.com or the website as a whole. TokuChris has been collecting various toy lines and working as a freelance journalist on said toy lines since 2001.

Bandai America has a reputation amongst toy collectors of being cheap, “knock off” quality of their superior sister company, Bandai Japan. When the Legacy items for Power Rangers first started coming out, fans began to think that Bandai America was actually changing their reputation by making high-end American exclusive product catered to the older fans of the franchise.

As the Legacy line of Megazords and roleplay items continued to sell well, Bandai America decided to adventure in to the realm of 6.5″ figures with a “build a figure” gimmick to compete with heavy hitter Marvel Legends. Premium paint applications and articulation were promised in exchange for a $19.99 price tag (or, as fans have discovered, now $21.99 in most places). Sadly, the figure line has been riddled with quality control issues since its second wave and shows no sign of improvement.

And now, with the release and revelation of the Legacy 6.5″ Power Rangers Zeo Gold Ranger having nothing gold about him, fan backlash has reached critical levels. Please click “Read More” to hear one opinion on the matter. Spoilers – it’s not going to be pretty.

The next series of Legacy Power Rangers 6.5″ Figures have been spotted and purchased at a Wal-Mart in California. Dino Thunder Red Ranger, Dino Thunder Blue Ranger, Zeo Green Ranger, and Zeo Gold Ranger were spotted and purchased which has given a sigh of relief to collectors who thought the metallic wave of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Legacy figures had pushed back the release of these highly anticipated figures.

Sadly, there’s been a large fan backlash against Bandai America for the quality of this wave of figures. If you look closely at the pictures, you will see a majority of the “gold” pieces, including the entire armor of the Zeo Gold Ranger, have been unpainted and instead are the flat, matte gold which looks more orange than gold. The same plastic can be seen as the holster for the Dino Thunder figures as well as the Build a Megazord pieces of the Zeo Megazord.
