Given the propensity for MMPR villain figures getting canceled, I wouldn't count those chickens until Squatt and Baboo are in hand. Hell, the US still hasn't even gotten the Playmates Putty and Goldar, so god know when we could actually see Squatt and Baboo released.

Literally. Maybe two figures in that entire line are very nice. All the Rangers have shitty proportions, varying degrees of inaccuracy/inconsistency, and the 1.0 bodies can't even put their arms down. Monsters of the day are completely out of scale, have their own varying degrees of inaccuracy, and are missing lots of paint despite a higher price point. When Finster ends up being the best figure in a Power Rangers toyline (as voted in grnngr's last two LC surveys, and ranked on lightningcollectors.com) you have failed spectacularly at making good Power Rangers toys.

My biggest issues with the Lightning Collection are how scattered it was and how infrequent the villains were, which impact one's ability to use them for fun displays. There's too many incomplete teams which aren't good for anything, and too many heroes lacking villains to pit against. What good are 2/6 Time Force/Wild Force Rangers or 3/6 Dino Fury Rangers? What good is a single Lightspeed/RPM Ranger, or a single core Turbo Ranger? What am I realistically supposed to do with any of those?

Lost Galaxy has a complete team but no villains of their own, so they're only good for pairing up with the Space Rangers versus the Psychos. Dino Thunder only got Mesogog, who fought the team one time in a mutated state in the finale. Most incomplete teams got nothing in the villain department, though 2/6 Wild Force for some reason got Putrids they can't take advantage of. If they were going to make a villain from Dino Thunder and a villain from Wild Force at that point in time it would have made more sense to do a Tyrannodrone in place of the Mesogog so the complete Dino Thunder team had an army builder to make a more robust display with, and Zen Aku in place of the Putrid since he pairs well with the already released Lunar Wolf Ranger.

Ultimately MMPR and In Space are the only complete seasons with enough villain representation to allow for good displays, and even those have some glaring omissions. MMPR not having Rito in spite of getting the complete Ninja and Metallic Armor teams from season 3 is really unfortunate. In Space bugs me that they made two Astronemas and two Ecliptors, yet neither one of them existed during the time period of the Psycho Rangers. That doesn't stop people from displaying the Psychos with either Astronema/Ecliptor Hasbro made, but it just feels wrong to me. I suppose Zeo can also make for a decent display despite only getting Cogs since they're an army builder, and there being 3 color variations helps add some variety I suppose.

Jason didn't fuck off, they fired him. He was pretty devastated about it. I guess they felt early on that they needed someone who knew the brand, and then once they got things going they said okay you served your purpose, there's the door. I'm certain Bischoff contributed heavily to the legendary reveal slide, because it reads like it was made by a Power Ranger fan who knew what was lacking in the past and what the fans wanted. On paper the Lightning Collection sounded amazing. The execution on the other hand...

Not having all 5 Zords readily available has to be the most mind numbingly stupid aspect of this product line's rollout, and proves why it's a dumb idea to sell Zords seperately. Why only 3/5 Zords on the endcap? Why no Pterodactyl when they went up for sale online? Pterodactyl eventually sporadically trickled in, but why is it so damn limited? Why is the damn Mastodon more limited as well? Currently no Pterodactyl or Mastodon available online. It makes no fucking sense.

>The most show-authentic Power Rangers figures EVER!
Patently false. Nearly ever figure in the line has some stupid inaccuracy that could have been avoided had someone done 5 minutes of research. Also not a single team had a consistent deco with each other.

>Real world proportions, textures, and more
They may not be as roided as Bandai America figures, but the proportions still ain't right. The male torsos are oddly long. Arms and legs look stubby. Overall thicker than they should be. Hasbro's basic $10 figures looked more proportionately real world than the "collector" Lightning Collection.

>New 'anthology series' approach; mixed waves
This was a monkey's paw if I ever saw one, which lead to nine incomplete teams at the line's death.

>~27pts of articulation
Based on my count most figures had more than that, so they actually delivered on something. Though not all of the articulation is well engineered. Arms can't go down and legs can't do a decent split on most figures.

>Accessories included
>Weapons included
This was all over the place. A lot of figures are missing stuff you'd want them to have. Even within teams you'd have a lack of consistency. Galaxy Yellow getting a Quasar Launcher instead of Saber, Dino Charge Pink getting her personal weapon in place of the saber the rest of her team got. Of course there was Zeo Blue not getting his personal weapons, and then all of his teammates got theirs, which resulted in so many complaints Hasbro had to publicly address it in a stream and throw the weapons in with a Cog.

>Optional SFX included
I love effect parts, but for every figure like Dino Thunder White who had a cool personalized effect part, you had ten figures using the same few generic effects repurposed in a variety of colors, most of which had no thought put into them, and weren't even the colors they should have been.

>Swappable 'photo real' actor likenesses included
Unless they thought they could get away with omitting them.

That's why I want the Gravezord over the Mega Megazord. It IS visually consistent, since it's just the Thunder Zords, and it can't combine because it's constructed from destroyed zords.

they're both cool silhouettes but don't feel appropriate to what they're made of. If anything Gravezord is worse because all the Thunderzords are fairly blocky design,and this is meant to be a scrap-salvaged zord, right? so it feels way too sleek for that purpose.

Same reason I want the Dragon Thunderzord too. Which, for all it's improbable combination, is still basically the Thunder Megazord in the Dragonzord's color scheme.

Ranger and ride the bike ok and can hold the handel bars but this will interfere with the flip gimmick which is fun but has a large obtrusive bar on the side.

Yep. It's crazy how these companies keep missing the mark on what Power Rangers is. Once and Always may have looked the part, but the tone was completely wrong. Everyone is afraid to make Power Rangers fun and campy despite that being what it was at the peak of it's popularity. A Power Rangers movie in the style of that Fortnite trailer would be the hit they've been chasing for the last 15 years.

That's exactly what Power Rangers keeps doing instead of accepting what it is and having fun with it. The comics are the worst offenders in this regard. It's not cringe to enjoy something fun that doesn't take itself too seriously, it's cringe to take it seriously when it's a cheap children's show which is a glorified toy commercial.

There is still this underlying eagerness for Rangers to become dark and mature which I dont get or understand. Especially nowadays when the grim and dark fad has run its course so thoroughly. Shankar did his gay little fan film and it should have been appreciated for what it was instead of heralded as what should have been the direction the property takes going forward.

More frustratingly, we're also at this cross roads now where alot of the original actors have come and gone. In a better world the casts of the original series would be in the middle of their Adam West 90's revival period of their careers. Sadly so much has changed in just the last 15 years that there's not much of a platform for that anymore. It's a mess across the board.

Fwiw I keep hoping somebody somewhere decides to get some sort of love letter off the ground with either Brad Hawkins or Austin St John.

The last line of dialogue from Rita Repulsa, the goofy over-the-top witch and iconic first main villain of the series, is "I'LL KILL YOU!" Not something about her trademark headache (either it's getting worse or she's suffering the mother of all headaches or whatever), not calling out for Zedd in desperation (maybe even reusing her line from Countdown to Destruction - "Help me, Zeddy, don't let it get-- AAHH!"), or even just some generic villain dialogue ("Curse you, Power Brats! You haven't seen the last of Rita Repulsa!"). Fucking "I'LL KILL YOU!" Cause we hardcore now. At least Zedd got to go out bickering with Rita.

To be fair, you CAN make PR/MMPR "more mature," but people always overshoot it and never understand where the sweet spot is. A good PR movie should never be darker/more mature/whatever than the first Avengers movie. Avengers (2012) was bright, colorful, allowed the heroes to do big campy superhero shit, and make quips in the face of danger, but the threat of Loki and the Chitauri were still treated seriously and the stakes of the world being overrun with an alien army wasn't made light of. That's all a PR movie should be. A colorful-yet-taken-seriously PG-13. Nothing more.

I can accept it logistically since Robo Rita was the pure evil essence that was wiped out of her by the Z wave, but it still feels tonally wrong for Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Don't get me started on the whole Trini murder bullshit, which only would have been understandable if they had managed to get back the rest of the original team. But when you're already turning Tommy, Kim, and Jason into action figures to explain their actor's absence, it was needless and extremely depressing killing off Trini just because her actress was dead. Even the more adult Fast and Furious movies didn't d9 that when Paul Walker died. They let his character live on off-screen.

This isn't directed at you specifically, anon, but I've seen so many fans headcanon various things about Robo Rita just because this is "Rita's evil half" as opposed to the complete Rita, and honestly, I don't think any of it was actually intended by the writers of Once & Always. I think they just intended "Rita's back now, uh-oh!" and all the theories I've seen about her behavior is just trying to make shit make sense.
>Don't get me started on the whole Trini murder bullshit
That was another moment where Rita was wildly out of character. She just gives a stoic "Goodbye, Trini Kwan" and then leaves. Rita Repulsa should never be fucking stoic, she should be GIDDY at that moment. She should be cackling and saying "I did it! I actually did it! I finally got rid of one of you Power Punks once and for all! I shoulda tried that spell YEARS ago! Oh, if only Zedd were here to see this!" As wonderful as it was to have Barbara back, and as genius the explanation as to how Rita came back was (VASTLY superior to the reasoning Zedd got in Dino Fury), Rita was honestly written like shit in Once & Always.
>it was needless and extremely depressing killing off Trini just because her actress was dead
It was also especially weird since her death sets up a very clear "The Rangers avenge Trini's death" plot, but then the movie spends almost its entire time with the Rangers telling Minh not to do that? It's fucking bizarre. Like the Rangers are very obviously going to kill the outer space witch robot by the end of the special, but don't you dare kill the outer space witch robot because she murdered your mother. That would be completely unacceptable. For some reason.

This is the area where the franchise is the most cursed: Nobody who owns it gives a damn enough to try to do it some measure of justice. Just vain attempts at reclaiming the shows past popularity, or warping it to fit modern sensibilities. It's painful to see.

>>11522372
Completely agree with you. Trini's death is one of those decisions that's only a heartfelt tribute on paper, but completely disrespectful and unnecessary in execution. It doesn't even serve to up the stakes, since Rita's back to the classical PG "capture and drain their powers" plot immediately afterwards.

>>11522684
>It was also especially weird since her death sets up a very clear "The Rangers avenge Trini's death" plot, but then the movie spends almost its entire time with the Rangers telling Minh not to do that?

The intention was clearly to keep Minh from potentially getting herself killed in the process and make taking down Rita a team effort, but it really could have used some further elaboration beyond "revenge is bad".

The again the special had a lot of problems with properly conveying motivations despite them being the crux of the plot. Like why Billy was so deadset on bringing Zordon back in the first place, or why he was willing to try again at the end despite his plans resulting in his friend's death the first time around.

Sure, but it's just done so nonsensically. She's constantly told she's too young to be a Ranger despite being at least the same age the original six were when they became Rangers. Then there's the sequence where Alpha warns the Rangers that Minotaur can track them via their powers, they power down, and then Minh takes the Yellow Morpher... They're clearly setting up Minh morphing and getting caught by Minotaur, but that never happens, because now apparently the Power Coins are like the Force and have wills and can keep people from morphing or some shit even though that's never been a thing once in the entire series, for either the Dino Coins or the Ninja Coins. Might've been nice for the Dragon Coin to stop Tommy from morphing when he was outright evil, but whatever.
>Like why Billy was so deadset on bringing Zordon back in the first place, or why he was willing to try again at the end despite his plans resulting in his friend's death the first time around.
This is another reason why the whole "no, Minh, don't morph, revenge is bad" plot bugs me so much.

>Billy resurrects a long-neutralized threat, putting the universe at risk

>Honestly, it's Billy that should've taken the bullet for Minh during the final fight, not the other way around.

Exactly. They could have drawn some parallels between Billy and Minh's respective tunnel visions and had Billy come to his senses prior to the big sacrifice. So many baffling choices with the plot in an attempt to be heartfelt and emotional that just wind up being confusing in the long run.

I see so many movies no one gives a shit about being rereleased into theaters because it's their 10th/15th/20th anniversary. Sure, MMPRTM is no Oscar winner, but it's a fondly-remembered kids/family semi-classic and it's connected to a popular (well, once-popular) franchise, and the 30th anniversary is a big deal for any movie. It makes me sad to see it didn't get an anniversary rerelease, even just a single day one.

Companies will always hate giving you a complete set because then you don't need to come back for more. It's so obviously a plot
If you get a wave you'll get one short of a complete set so you stick around for wave 2 at least, which will also leave things dangling for 3 and so on.
Get all the Dinozords..but no Dragonzord, or Megazord.
Gert the core 5 rangers but no sixth
It's just a common trick, I doubt you'll ever see a truly complete set.

Sure, but it's not unheard of either, right? Especially for a 30 year old series? There have been similar sets for Star Wars and Disney movies, haven't there?

The Japanese are already fully aware of Power Rangers, perhaps even more than Americans are aware of Super-Sentai.

This sounds dumb but is there a reason why the Mighty Morphin Black Ranger has two versions that have different heads?
Was it some likeness licensing issue?
Same shit happened with Red because of his scams?

Do you mean that there's versions with Zach or Adam, or do you mean there's like, two different Zach or Adam sculpts?
Now that I think about it, does the Black w/Dragon Shield have the same head as standard Black?

There's a random black guy, the actual actor and then the second black ranger. The first random guy is actually called zach but clearly isn't.

They had the actual likeness of Walter Emanuel for the "remastered" line

It's Zack, it's just a bad likeness. At least 1/3 of the Lightning Collection had bad likenesses. It's based on his season 2 dreadlocks.

Here is the dog, not sure if boxer or bull dog, i'm going with boxer because I like them. He is also solid snd I love the shade of red they used. The shoulder armour is used in a pretty cool way to lock it in.

Combined mode, the sword is so gnarly and he looks so nice with the red on blue

Unfortunately the closest we've ever gotten to one was an Imaginext figure that never released.

First look at new MMPR web series filming. The web series, featuring updated MMPR suits, will be unrelated to the upcoming reboot on Disney+ and will be to promote the toy line

Goldar looks on the level of a pretty good cosplay, but not nearly as good as he ought to.
But I'll be satisfied if his jaw moves at least.

For a Lightning Collection Green or White MMPR, is there any way to take off the shield?
Anonymous No.11540985 >>11541056

The easiest way to do it would be to either put it in some hot water or to hit it with a hair dryer, you would want to probably remove the head and then pull out the arms either at the shoulder or the bicep just so there's less clashing with the piece, and then once you have essentially it with just the torso you should be able to take it off

How safe is this? I don't think I need to, but I just bought a White Tommy and Goldar last weekend, so I'm curious while I'm here looking at it.

If you heat it up enough it should be totally safe, I suppose be careful around the hard plastic torso as TOO hot of water has the slight potential to discolor, it's not really an issue with PVC though which is the softer plastic that the arms and armor is made out of
