People always complain about Legacy, but now that Ninja Steel is officially over can we talk about how badly BoA shit the bed on that line?
>They only released two of the three auxiliaries, and you were forced to buy a repainted Megazord to get them.
>They released an over-sized, over-priced Lion Fire Zord playset which Toys R Us was swimming in and literally couldn't give away.
>The "Ninja Spin" gimmick of the show was completely absent from the toyline.
>They never finished the set of training mode figures in spite of being simple repaints of one another.
>They never finished the set of Super Steel mode figures because ew girls.
>They never made a figure of Gold's Superstar Mode or Yellow's Lion Fire Mode.
>They only released one figure to cash in on the anniversary special, and they pigeonholed it with a Ranger specific sculpt when a generic torso would have allowed them to make 5 different figures while only needing new heads.
>The aforementioned anniversary figure is needlessly out of scale with the other Ninja Steel figures.
>The fall 2018 wave of products was limited to that one 5" figure, a couple of toy exclusive "deluxe" figures which were essentially elaborate accessories on a pre-posed Ranger, a few toy exclusive Zords, some generic toy exclusive throwing stars, and a role play weapon.
I can get them giving up on Legacy stuff when losing the line, but shouldn't Ninja Steel have been business as usual considering it ended long before Hasbro takes over? They've essentially had a toy commercial running these last few months with no product to sell. Even the pre-existing stuff is non-existent in stores.
