LH, you got such an awesome collection. I've only heard if Kaman Rider a few times. I've heard about the Sentai Rangers. I know that it came from Japan, But only knew the MMPR. Which I really didn't like because it was a rip off of the Voltron. But as I got into the MMPR I found tat it was okay.
I will try to get the rest of the SH. Figuard aka MMPR set. I don't know too much about the Rangers but I just want to complete the team. I already have tat Megazord. I want the Dragonzord which is going to be release here soon. TRU is already releaseing the Green/White Morphor, I haven't seen it yet. But soon I will find it...
Do you also have tat MegaZord for ur Sentai???. I bet it's temping to want to open ur figures and play with it for a while... I fight tat temptation everytime I look at all my minted stuff.
Post more if you have more.
If it was a few years ago, I would have opened them and bought stands/displays for them. However, I'm short on space and nowadays I'm being very selective because I know I'll never open these. They're going to be worth a lot some day especially the original Japanese version.
They're slowly coming out due to the popularity in the US and due to 199 Sentai Movie being sourced for MMPR-Mega Force. I wanted Tamashii SH Figuarts Pteraranger but it's going for nearly $70-$80 and I find it very difficult personally to get the MMPR version you have because it costs nearly the same.
Mammothranger is set to be released next month (FEB 2014 release date) and at $45 I'll pay for it.
Tricerranger is set to be release in May 2014 should be similar in price.
BTW, if you want a complete set, why not get Armored Tyrannoranger ($50)?
Concerning Go-Lion (Voltron in the US), it's all owned by the same company; no rip-offs unless you count MMPR. All this wouldn't have happened though without all the Godzilla and Ultraman movies.
As for others, I have to dig stuff out of the boxes I put in storage but I've got nearly a complete set of Wing Gundam model kits that are put together. I think I'm just missing the Serpent suit. It'll take some time but I'll post pics when I get a chance.
Speaking of Go-Lion, have you ever watched the original anime?
