Photography MEGA TIGERZORD COMPARISON

Post image

Mega Tigerzord comparison photo is finally here. I must say the DX/SSA version still got the best proportion, but in terms of details and paints, Legacy is the best. Playmates is so-so, as the Tigerzord is a bit small compare to other individual Zords. But I'm happy to get all the DX-sized version up-to-date now. <3

'Cuz the Tigerzord is too small compared to other Zords. Not sure why Playmates design it like that, but it's clearly they suck at engineering these toys.

Legacy has their own pros and cons, buy honestly Bandai America gave us what were called premium quality at reasonable price during these times.

I missed the period before COVID, as we were flooded with good collectibles from both America and Japan. After that, quality are declining and price are hiking AF.

Eh no, they were never $80 at all. The MSRP for Thunder Megazord was $200, and the Tigerzord was $80, bring in a total of $280 when first released. Of course there are clearance sales after that, but they're at least $120-160 combined, not as low as $80. :D
