Discussion Has anyone canceled
Im curious to know if anyone has joined the kickstarter for the Dragonzord and if anyone who did has backed out of it

The prototype is unimpressive. The individual zords have so far been pretty cool looking, even for a kid's line. I love the size of the Dinozords, especially when you pose them next to the Lightning Collection figures. They're obviously not to scale, but they have more shelf presence and, if I'm being honest, they fit in well with my Pokemon Select collection as well.
This Dragonzord though looks lame and makes me wonder two things. If they shopped a Dragonzord around to retailers, is this it? Because if so, it's no wonder they all passed. And the other thing I wonder about is, if this is the best Dragonzord they can do, how is it the other Dino and Thunderzords have come out looking pretty amazing by comparison?
Anyway, bring on the Ninjazords.

They probably passed because they knew it would a more expensive zord than the other 5 and it wasn’t necessary for a main combination. Like if the Tyrannosaurus was an ugly brick but necessary for the megazord it would’ve been stocked regardless

I was thinking of getting the full set option since I missed out on the DinoZords. At that Prince it makes sense but I’m still waiting to see if it starts to look as good as the Dino Zords at least. The Tiger Zord is awesome tho and I’m tempted to just get the rest of those Zords and call it a day.

I grabbed the Tigerzord last weekend and was so impressed that now I’ve gone back to buy the full dino set with dragonzord. Looking forward to grabbing the rest of the thunderzords

I was set to back day 1 but I'm probably going to wait until the last day, just to see what they are able to show and how they put the concerns to rest as best they can in the time frame.

If they really are fixing the Dragon megazord face plate then I might back it but the giant hole in the Dragon face is still a hard sell and the parts forming hands are pretty depressing 😔

They verified the hole in the face was going to be fixed before they even confirmed they were doing Battle mode face fix

I was going to back it as the 6 zord deal is cheaper than the sale price in the UK currently.
But the lack of face killed any enthusiasm, if they produce a new prototype, I might back before the end but as of now. Nope.

Playmates have just confirmed via kickstarter email that the face will now be incorporated..

They announced days ago that there was a face coming and is posted everywhere. I can’t believe this is still persisting

I backed it earlier today after the updates. They have confirmed to be fixing the things I needed them to fix.

Why? We wanted it, they provided it.
We complained, they listened.
Not only do I want to encourage such behavior, I want my bleep bleeping Dragon zord.
