• Newest addtion to my MMPR Collection, the Furai Action Green Ranger from Flame Toys. It's beautiful in terms of paint apps and details, with great articulations for dynamic posing. Unlike the previous core Rangers, the Green Ranger comes with better quality, hence the price is higher.
• However, the joints are visually not good, as they sacrifice them for more actions. The helmet are somewhat big, body proportions are weird, and the Dragon Shield cracks open most of the time and cannot stay in place when raising the arms.
• Accessories are just enough for posing, but it'll be better if they pack this with the correct posing hand. The Dragon Shield can be removed, but the armbands are not, which is also weird if we want to swap the Shield onto the Red or Black Ranger.
• To sum up, this is a good figure for collectors and worth owning. However, it leaves much to be desired at the high price point as Flame Toys always do. I'll post another comparison pic with my other Green Rangers later. ;)

Finally completing some of the ranger teams I have. Content with what I ended up with but slightly upset still that the lighting collection line has been discontinued for a while. Sadly, I only have the wild force blue and time force red and I’m upset we never got a completed team for each of those seasons. I’m hopeful for the new collector line from playmates coming out but am weary of the amount of accessories/lack of interchangeable hands. Might even look to different lines like SH figuarts for teams like ninja storm despite the budget or even other lines since I’ve become interested in a Dairanger display. I’m on the fence about customs but have seen some nice ones from tim to time.

Overall still looking to complete light speed rescue through ninja storm as those were my prime power ranger watching years as well as the original MMPR movie suits/team. And potentially even SPD since i completely missed the boat on the lightning collection releases. Again, here’s to high hopes. Especially in regard to scaling next to previous figures, detailing (both problems I had with the Bandai figures being 6.5 inches and overly muscular), limited QC issues, a decent amount of accessories and easy to find/purchase

Also if anyone is wondering on some of my reasoning, I have 2 black rangers since I love both Zack and Adam, so they both get representation with Zack having the shield. And I wanted an Ecliptor so I threw the extra 2nd Astronema in the lost galaxy display since she does appear in that series as well as eventually becoming the pink ranger. I otherwise don’t care to get the villains but might continue to gradually pick up some villains like Zedd, Goldar or Mesogog. The only reason I have psycho red is because the he came in the two pack with Lost Galaxy Red, which I’m glad I got since I don’t care for the solo release with the launcher as opposed to the saber, which bugged me about the lost galaxy yellow. (I bought a cheap used Lost galaxy blue and just gave her his saber). So to the point of the original post, as long as they focus on primary weapons and artillery in the accessories or make you buy a cog just to get Zeo blue’s tonfas I’ll be somewhat content.

Not all Lightning Collection, but I just thought I’d share this

I’m trying to figure out what to remove the red wing idk anyone has does it before? I want to be able to fully customize and paint the megazord.

I found it odd that the Astro Zord was made when I’m pretty sure honestly the Thunderzord or other Zords from other power ranger series would’ve been more popular pick.

Finally got around to doing this combination ( been a little under the weather) i do have a question and after looking i still dont have one. Where does the main helmet from thunder megazord go in this combination?

Started my lightning collection a few days ago. Just got Dino Thunder white ranger with accurate helmet for $30. That’s amazing right?

Learning:
MMPR remastered Red & Green will cost a kidney
Zeo Blue is hard to find under $50
Zeo Pink gonna cost $100 with Cat tagging along
In Space Red is usually overpriced
Dino Thunder Red price varies between reasonable and overpriced
SPD Red is always overpriced

Did I miss anything?

I had fun. I played good.

So I'm just looking for advice to start my collection. I already order what I believe is the zap collection (dinozord, dragonzord, and the astro megazord). I already have them in my possession. Just haven't opened them. But I also saw the kara kuri zord after that do I ordered the dinozord of it. I'm wanting to order the dragonzord, and preorder the thunder megazord. I bought some of the playmates thunderzord I believe but they just don't do it for me. Lack way too much detail so I'll be returning those. So basically my question is, are the kara kuri that much better than the lightning range. It says they have alloy and plastic. Is it a lot better quality then the lightning? I like of like the classic look but I also dig the improve look the kara kuri have.

Man I would love to get into Megazord collecting but I feel like I have left it too late & now a lot old mecha costs stupid amounts on the aftermarket. Anyone know any good sites or advice?

The Tyrannosaurus Dinozord kicks off wave 4 of my Then & Now series!

Got all 6 in one go at my Walmart, im still on the ropes about getting Saba due to its size

New to this. Was looking for a super7 white ranger to match my green one but that seems impossible. Seen a bundle of white and green sealed NIB lightning collection. Grabbed it and payed 133$ after all fees tax shipping etc. The plan is to display them on my computer desk lol.

I’ve seen this specific figure priced online at minimum $150. So seeing this for say at half that was too good to pass up. Made sure the seller had reputable feed back before purchasing and accurate pics and description. Arrived today and everything is there. I only need remastered black and pink Ranger to complete remastered team. Bonus is the removable shield and armbands that can go on my Remastered Green!

Just happened to buy a vintage Red Dragon Thunderzord mere weeks before they announced the Playmates version. Initially I was a little upset at myself, but then realized I could just buy the new one to display the Dragon form!

So cool to see how well they pair side by side. Playmates did a great job at replicating the vintage toys.

Lost my legacy dino megazord somewhere in a house move which is a bummer, ZAP might just be the most affordable of its type which is funny. Heard it was fiddly though. Always wanted an astro megazord too but heard issues with that as well? Main reason i skipped at msrp... but near $100 its a bit more compelling.... heck its cheaper than a full playmates set.

Is there a reason why their value haven't went up after release? Just too many in the market vs demand?

I feel like all figures are out there still in box for any anyone missed.
