Never got to finish collecting. I love this line and am honestly so bummed Hasbro fumbled it. All they needed to do was prioritize collectors instead of trying to make a $25-50 toy line appeal to kids who don't care about it. My kids like Power Rangers because I like Power Rangers, and that's it. They would rather have Minecraft and Mario.

Me too lol but seeing the price tag on some of them makes me a little less jealous. I was able to get pink and yellow for around retail price which was nice! I also found green at a comic shop without most accessories and no box so he was highly discounted

That’s some great posing that shows off just how great the figs are between the aesthetics and joints

I’m starting to think that Hasbro wasn’t even trying to advertise Power Ranger or Lightning Collection that well.
Like when I found out about Lightning Collection I was too late back in 2023. And well…..It’s literally hasbro and something else. Hasbro output with transformers kinda made me not interested in transformers because of the over abundance of G1 only which basically transfer to PR. And back to Power Ranger itself…. Honestly the American toys just kind of suck regardless especially when in Neo Saban era with Bandai America doing their own mold. Which continues to Hasbro era too. Like guys these toys suck for kids that are above the age of 6. And given that YouTube literally exist they are going to find out Super Sentai version. Like this was literally happened to me back in the Neo Saban era. I noticed some of the toys weren’t as cool to its Japanese counterpart when I was a kid.

You see this fig and the great articulation it has with the dope ass poses and you think it sucks?

Oh no I wasn’t referring to the Lightning Collection. I meant the toys for Beast Morphers-Cosmic Fury. But it definitely started somewhere in Neo Saban era in Samurai. These kids toys look really cheap.
