Ew those proportions, I get it it's for kids and these are the headflippers...which always were atrocious things, sadly modern technology couldn't save these, they look awful, isn't there a way to make these look less like someone's fat uncles and aunts are cosplaying as rangers?..eh whatever, not for me, but If you wanted some ugly head flipper, I swear the re-releases of the old ones are probably floating around still.
for $20 i'd rather of had a 2 pack set with the Ranger in suit and then civilian wear, the bodies just look too badly proportioned.
that said, i'll still prolly pick up Pink...

Has Playmates ever done a good collector-focused line? I think a mass market Turtles-esque line is really the best anyone could hope for with them taking the helm.Shame - was really hoping to have something that would be semi-compatible with Lightning Collection.
Judging by the weapons proportions this is definitely not a collectors line

It'll be interesting to see what they have to offer (I'm assuming we'll see something at Toy Fair). As a semi-casual fan of the Lightning Collection (and not a huge Power Ranger fan in the first place - I just thought those toys were cool and I was able to pick up a heap of them relatively cheap), I'm not going to be looking at anything that's not approximately comparable with that series or fills gaps in that. As such, I fully expect there to be absolutely nothing of interest to me in their offerings (they'll have to do a vintage TMNT-style Rangers line, right?), but fingers crossed more modern style figure collectors are pleasantly surprised.

Well true, there are those collectors, and there are always new collectors looking to get into the game, I guess in reality it never hurts to give the people more, for both of those reasons.
