POWER RANGERS Lightning Collection: FAN FIRST FRIDAY (Review)

This past Friday Hasbro gave us the heads up of the newest figures coming to the Power Rangers Lightning Collection. I just wanted to put my thoughts on this as I’ve had my qualms with Hasbro before.

Power Rangers Lightning Collection: Finishing SPD A Squad

This is great that we are going to get a complete team. But like I’ve said before was this team really necessary? This will be the 2nd completed team after MMPR. I know the fans out there are happy for this but couldn’t they have focused on diversifying the line and start on other teams? Finding out that A-Squad Red, Yellow, Green, and Pink are coming out as single figures affirms that I’m going to have to buy the SPD Blue 2 pack. Hopefully, I can sell A-Squad Blue or I’ve considered making my own Custom Ranger. (Leave a comment if you want to see a custom.)

But wait there’s more!

Andros is getting his first single figure. Not as the Red Space Ranger but in his one-off disguise outfit. Complete with real fabric cloak! We’ve had capes before but they were molded plastic. We are getting some real cloth!

Power Rangers Lightning Collection: A final tease

The presenters showed a “tease” of an upcoming project. Those of us older ranger fans can easily recognize it as the TURBO NAVIGATOR in Defender mode. I’m going to guess this is going to be a proplica. The rendering was too detailed to be used for a figurine. I’m on the fence on this one since Hasbro has tons of things to choose from and decided on a little-used weapon from Power Rangers Turbo.

We want to hear from you!
