Playmates is launching a Kickstarter on August 18 for the Re-Ignition Dragonzord toy. Reportedly unable to find a retail partner to help carry it, Playmates is going directly to the fans

Meanwhile, it seems like they WERE able to get retail support to launch the Tigerzord with the Reignition Season 2 line up launching this fall.

Playmates has also showed off a preview of their Collector Series, with the initial rollout planned to, seemingly, be the Zeo Rangers

Hmm, wonder how much it'll be to back the Kickstarter to get that Dragonzord.

I've more or less missed out on every previous version, so I'd like to have ONE, even though this one looks a little... chunkier... than some of the previous?

Also, WTF is with these idiot retailers? They should be saying "We'll sell this line ONLY if you give us all the Green Ranger stuff," not "give us everything but!"

(Yeah, I know, Tommy and Dragon Dagger. Whatever.)

Gold Ranger figure looks neat. Funny they decided to give him three different weapons I don't think he ever had instead of different staff parts. I mean, at least Tommy as the Green Ranger did have a Blade Blaster in one episode (though he never used it, and it fell out of its holster...).

It's baffling to me that the most iconic robot mech of the most popular Power Ranger of all time was totally unappealing to retailers.

Only by shrinking it. The Playmates Tigerzord is tiny, and apparently this was done because retailer hangups about the Dragonzord centred on how big it was.

There's also this, which seems to give us a sneak peek at what the Playmates MMRP collector stuff will look like.

"Okay, we'll take your 1995-96 Chicago Bulls, but we don't want that Michael Jordan fellow.

Not sure about that Dennis Rodman fellow, either..."

Just goes to show how the Dragonzord is no longer in the limelight with the general masses.
