    This is definitely one of the best Mantis figures.

    Yellow? I think it's going to be orange.

    If he's doing a sentai team based series, then it will be yellow. I can't remember any sentai teams that had an orange member.

    edit: Well, BattleFever-J had an orange member (Cossack), but that Sentai team was a little unconventional costume color-wise.

    Darn. I think orange would look better.

    Someone posted the header before, but now I can't find it. Can anyone confirm the color of the Pumpkin on the header?

    I guess we'll have to wait for a picture of the figure itself to know for sure.

    I saw it last night - amazing! Super limited release though, this is a "surprise" figure, that is why there was no pre-announcement. We are getting a very small amount, I am not sure if TT or span are getting any. It is not part of the "masked ranger" series - it has a different header card and everything. Not sure how it is all going down though....

    great minds think alike :D .

    I love this Mantis. For some reason it reminds me of my favorite Woody Allen movie, Sleeper. Killer figure, brilliant colorway.
