 Re: Luke Chueh's Power Ranger Rabbotto
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.

 Re: Luke Chueh's Power Ranger Rabbotto

 Re: Luke Chueh's Power Ranger Rabbotto
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..

 Re: Luke Chueh's Power Ranger Rabbotto
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.

 Re: Luke Chueh's Power Ranger Rabbotto
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!

 Re: Luke Chueh's Power Ranger Rabbotto
That may be the most helpful toy review I've ever read. At the very least, it's concise.
