He won't be perfect, he doesn't have a bicep swivel.

Honestly, if they have to keep releasing the same characters, I'd prefer this. I like the idea of modernizing existing designs, allowing the brand to grow and do new things while still banking on nostalgia.

For me, it's the "Go Go Power Rangers" bit that's bothering me. It's a Wild Force toy, so it oughta say "Guardians of the Earth, United we Roar!"ZeroWolf wrote:Well that really wasn't what I was expecting!

I didn't know you knew your Power Ranger teams ZeroWolf, very cool.
Also, the reactions to this toy here and on facebook are far more favourable than I thought. Seems people are finally getting the idea that this is the kids line.

And thus why I love Cyberverse, tho I haven't bought any of the toys.

Wasn't that the original goal of the Classics line? Modernizing old characters and designs?
