I also lost interest, as by this time, nearly all of the original cast on the show had been replaced, with the exception of the occasional cameo by Jason David Frank (Tommy) so the emotional investment in the characters also wasn't there. I've tried watching some of the series that have come since, including the recent Dino Thunder, but they just don't give me the warm fuzzies that those original seasons and characters did.

I will admit that I don't normally collect MMPR toys, as I only have a few, but I will put down money on them if I see one that I feel is extremely well done and is in scale with most of my collection. While I really liked the previous set of Legacy figures (especially the movie ones) I opted to pass on them since they were in in a 5" scale, but when I saw how good this new one was, and the fact that he was in a 6 inch scale, my urges just couldn't resist. I'm eager now to pick up the Red Ranger should I run into him again, and can't wait until the next series of figures releases.

While I wasn't initially thrilled about some of the changes in the casting for the new movie (I thought the original cast was pretty diverse to begin with, so switching things up was kinda unnecessary. Becky G does not look like someone who would inherently have the last name "Kwan".) I do like what I'm seeing so far, I'm loving the new look Rita and the redesigns of the suits, and hopefully will be geeking out again when the new movie drops next year.

How much did he cost? Because I would probably buy a White Ranger I use to watch the show when i was little.
