I don't remember Valsky (Zelton) so I can't say anything about that one.

I would definitely approve of Top Gunder (Dark Heart) for obvious reasons.

Geldring (Toxoid) I don't remember but he has a cool Krang-like design so I would definitely approve of that.

Don't have much of an opinion on Crosslander/Renegade.

We're on the same page with Deathzero (Ivar) and Bio (Icebot) so that's cool.

I would approve of Hellvira (Red Python) as well for obvious reasons - an evil Trooper.

With regards to Renegade/Crosslander that was because in Metalder he was Top Gunder's replacement in Neros Empire after Top Gunder turned good, and in Metalder they were rivals.

I guess I always imagined that if there was more footage of it that they could have had Dark Heart be an ally of the Troopers after they rescued him, and restored his memories of being Tyler Steele.

And they would have this thing where every episode only used one monster from one Metal Hero show, and when JB, and Kaitlin fought a Spielban monster Ryan, and Dark Heart would fight Renegade, Minotaurbot, and Chrome Dome.

they probably would have shot more footage if the suits were still in decent condition sadly they weren't. Grimlord was sadly redesigned in Season 2 because of it. Despera, Doom Master and the Vixens somehow still had similar looking costumes though but Saban probably made those.

Indeed.

I remember, there was a suit for Dark Heart but I could never get a good look at it, and I only remember it in parts where Dark Heart was lying down.

I did wonder about the suits that where just a guy in spandex with a helmet.

But I know Decimator, Zelton, Toxoid, Ivar, and Icebot would have been hard to replicate.

Which is sad because I wanted to see them in American footage.

hard to say since Power Rangers usually did pretty good with creating things in Power Rangers - Lord Zedd, Z Putties, Piranhatrons, Quantrons, Velocifighters, Stingwingers, T-drones. Kelzak Furies were made pretty close in design to the regular Kelzaks.

They did a good job with recreating Sentai sets such as the exterior of the Dark Fortress, the interior of Finster's Workshop and the interior of The Nexus. Also the Omega Megazord cockpit.

They did a good job with creating the Wind Rangers' Tsunami Cycles so that they would match in design with the Thunder Rangers' Cycles.

I see.

Since I got us off topic I'll try to think of some more Figuarts I would want.

I'll go with Jiraiya, Jiban, Blue Swat, Winspector, Solbrain, and Exceedraft since there the only Metal Hero shows I can think of that don't have Figuarts yet.

For now I just want to get the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Metalder, Spielban, Shaider, Kamen Rider Black RX, Blue Beet, and Janperson ones.
