F-yea and with new Figuarts too.

a big one right here!

awesome, but I have to say that Super Sentai is much better than the Western counterparts, it was way more depth, it is more darker.

An aversion to that is RPM vs. Go-onger. Go-onger featured cartoonish-looking Zords who talked, and the monsters would often sing and dance and give melodramatic monologues in the heat of battle. RPM did away with this, monster never sang or dance and, in fact, rarely ever spoke, (Battles were over quick as a result) and neither did the Zords. They also question why the Zords have "big googly anime eyes" at one point. Also, I'm not certain if Go-onger took place in a post-apocalyptic wasteland.

Admittedly, I watched the Power Rangers sets for a good while even though I was well outside the target demographic. Watched from the beginning up through Turbo, dropped out after in space, but came back for Lost Galaxy and lightspeed rescue. Never really got back into it after that.

I have to look through my storage, but I do have the Thunderzord, NinjaZord, and ShogunZord sets in my possession.

by the way, Bot-Con 2011 has not sold out yet has it?

OH YEAH!

Caught the Dynaman series on USA, curious becuse it reminded me of Voltron, hooked because of how funny it was. When MMPR came out I thought it looked awfully familiar (and I developed an instant crush on Trini). Watched regularly until early Lost Galaxy, got regular again with Lightspeed Rescue through Dinothunder. Missed most of SPD because I could never find it on the TV. Watched Mystic Force and Operation Overdrive, missed a lot of Jungle Furry and RPM because it kept getting preempted on the local ABC station. Was throughly disgusted with the "re-imaging" Disney did with MMPR season one and glad the new series is back in Saban's hands and on a different network and that Bulk is back.

Started Super Sentai with Boukenger and have kept up pretty well, though I'm behind on Goseiger right now. Also went back and have seen all of Magiranger, some Megaranger, Zyuranger, Dairanger, Kakuranger, and a number of the team up movies.

The Hurricanger/Gaoranger team up was neat, the scene where the Gaoshark and Gaotiger form the arms of the Hurricanger mecha works with the toys, even the ones released in the U.S.

I'm hoping with Saban back in charge the toys will once again be straight imports of the Japanese counterparts instead of the watered down versions we've been getting since Operation Overdrive.

Dude, you just made my day. I present you with the ceremonial Cookie given to bearers of good news. Be careful with it, though, it's nearly identical to the one we give to bearers of bad news, and I am horribly disorganized when it comes to cookies.

Also, why is it Xandred, the big bad for the season, looks almost exactly like a Dremora from Elder Scroll IV: Oblivion? Dare to compare.

I bought the 2009 or 2010 version of the original Mighty Morphin Megazord at this year's Anime Expo
