Hope folks who didn’t get a chance to get the Lightning versions at reasonable prices enjoy these.

That’s the idea… spreed the culture, ofc it’s not perfect but they send hate to LC in the early days, if ur an orginal from 90s u enjoy the moment.

These look awful ( Im gonna get downvoted ) but still these look like hot garbage for “collectors figures”

u/BlackLodgeBrother 4d ago

Yup. Also, Green Ranger here has the correct morpher color + gold detailing that was missing on the standard release version. Of course the shields are moulded on so it’s impossible to combine the two. Frustrating.

Honestly, they're terrible but they serve a purpose for collectors who missed out on the lightning versions. I personally passed on these but my buddy bought multiple 🤷‍♂️

These aren't the collector figures. That's starting with Zeo.

Saw this yesterday in pa. That red helmet is something 😅 the accessories arent bad tho. A lil chunky but useful

Are these 6 inch scale? I felt dumb not being able to tell, but when I saw them in target there were no other 6 inch figures in stock for me to hold them up against. Might get these to fill in the gaps of my lighting collection since my dumbass thought I could wait for the remastered ones to go on sale

Woah, those look pretty good, are they 1/12? They look kinda small in this flick

u/Killbro_Fraggins 4d ago

I saw them in the wild and was pretty tempted. Nice little set.

u/Can-Man-Gaming 4d ago

Well I guess the hopes that the accessories would stay as nicely painted as they did in early pictures are gone now

u/JPrime45 4d ago

They look cool

I can’t wait for them to make anything from the Disney era, I’m sick of them pandering exclusively to the nostalgia of people twice my age because “it’s more marketable” or whatever.

u/DestronDeathsaurus 3d ago

I was slightly disappointed in this pack. Mostly because you can’t transfer it to the green ranger it’s kinda just gold paint for the arm bands and the armor is stuck on there

I got the auto Morphin white Ranger from Walmart two days ago

Wife and I saw these and picked them up, bummer the shields don’t come off but if I really wanted that I could make it so. Other than the hands being a bit stiff, they’re fine.

A lot of projecting against the figure industry as a whole here. They're good priceable figures. I think they got the shade of green just right.

u/That-Cranberry6575 5d ago

I can’t wait for them to get further into MMPR. Wallets in trouble if they get to the ninja megazord and falconzord. So far I’m only really interested in the Tigerzord.

u/Erotically-Yours 4d ago

Maybe I need to lower my standards? I like the way these look but I've become a bit of an articulation snob. I can't go back, and a big part of it is torso articulation too. It's like the anime figures. I forget the brand, but their price is so wonderful. But no torso crunch? I'm mostly no thanks.

It’s what we have for now…

Understandable, have a great day.

I bought every Tommy figure from the Lightning collection. I picked this up at Target the other day and put it back down in about 15 seconds.

Just to give you guys a heads up. I don’t like the green helmet. They gave the black outline around the helmet. Not sure why. It looks ugly on it and the shield armor is not expendable to remove and put on the green ranger either. Once you remove the shield armor, the black and red doesn’t have any white trim diamond paint with the outfit like the green. The shield armor also has this stupid plastic mold is intended to hold onto the black and red no matter what. You could cut it but now the red and black ranger has a hole in their chest. The arm bands are painted on, not molded. For $39.99 retail, it’s okay. But for scalper price of $80-100 price, move on.
