    That is exactly why I like this more than any other LC toy, It's got a cheapo bootleg feel which I like. It certainly isnt worse than the bear with it's stupid sad face. If a sentai rabbit team was released by say, toygraph, in smaller runs with better qc I would think it was a great idea.

    the problem with it looking so cheap is that it definitely wouldn't be worth the extreme price tag that will come with it...

    That was exactly my point. If you're into it, 4 or 5 bucks wouldn't be so bad. But $60-$80, not so much.

    i would totally pay 4-5 bucks for this, then flip it for 10x profit!

    Too bad it probably costs more than that to start with.

    luke's first toy was absolutely amazing. One of my favorite toys.

    but his mecha bear and this rabbit power ranger seem un-inspired. the sculp looks like he almost took an action figure and stuck a bear or rabbit head on top..

    I actually think that the concept is quite cool. However, I'm not so good with the design and something about it looks really sort of cheap/ low quality.

    Didn't the 'old' original Power Rangers toys look cheap too ?

    a lot of old vinyl toys looked cheap. back then, die cast was the premium.

    True. Maybe it's homage to that. I guess what I meant was that this piece looks cheaply made considering that I'm hypothetically paying $80-$100 for it.

    LC seems like a real down to earth guy and stand up fella . . . but I'm glad I offloaded my Possesed figures when the hype was high . . . since then it's been a kinda slippery slope into toy mediocrity! :?

    That may be the most helpful toy review I've ever read. At the very least, it's concise.
