PR Villains

[captainamerica]

Hi All,
Does anybody know of a site or some other reference for the 8" scale Power Ranger Villains figures? I'm interested in getting some more of these, but don't really know what I'm looking for.

I have 4: Lord Zedd, Finster(??), Master Vile (), and a maroon and pink guy with a big horn (looks like a beetle).

I remember from my TRU employee days that they also made Goldarr, his Blue pal(Baloo?), Squatt, a skeleton guy, and the putty patrol.

Surely this isn't everything, is it?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Gazza13! That was a huge help!

A funny anecdote about Power Ranger Toys:

When the first series of toys were shipped, I was a salesfloor supervisor at Toys R Us. Include in my domain was aisle 7C, action figures. I remember stocking the three zords, triangle box 8" rangers, non-transforming 8-10" megazord, and the three cycles. The toys sat on the shelves for TWO WEEKS and didn't sell anything, save the red ranger cycle I bought. I distinctly remember collectors picking up the boxes and shaking their heads, with comments like "Voltron rip-off" and "Why don't they mark this crap down when it comes in". And the toys sat on the shelf, until the end of those two weeks, when the local TV station aired a commercial for the show, which wouldn't even air for a month. Just a commercial. The toys sold out before noon that day, and the madness of that first holiday season with Power Rangers as kings of the toy world began!
