Through Amazon Canada, we've got full images of MMPR Blue -- including headsculpt and confirmation he does come with a combined rod.

Wave 5's Zeo Gold will feature Trey of Triforias' head rather than Jason.

A bit to unpack here.
Gold Ranger - I've been arguing it would be Jason so Hasbro could be cheap. I raise my drink to Hasbro and everyone else thinking it would be Trey. I think everyone wins. The Jason Pack people have exclusive accessories. The Trey Gold Ranger has his own staff and of course head. Dragon Dagger - Looks identical to Bandai's except they painted gold the lines at the base of the dagger. Also the buttons base is painted black. I have no idea what's accurate as in the show, his hand always covers the dagger. I wouldn't be surprised if a stunt prop vs the presentation version have these differences. For me the Legacy dagger is pretty great. I feel this is more if you never got the Legacy Dagger situation. I actually kind of wonder if it's Bandai's mold. Blue Ranger - Oh boy. Let's start with the good. Comes with a long lance. That's great. I would want it to be a little longer but it's long enough. The head sculpt. I like it. I think it looks like the actor especially in the early days of season 1. I think three things are happening. 1) Just like with everyone, the heads are wider. They seem stretched and it might be due to the ball peg needing to fit. This might also be why the ball pegs are smaller on the LC. While you can swap on Marvel legends, most don't include a second head. The LC its most of them. Then to fill out the features they add a little chubbiness. 2) Smiling is also doing it. Looking through the pics, these people don't smile with their teeth wide open which the artists may be over compensating for. 3) We are used to Billy when he dropped the glasses and his hair got lighter. MMPR movie Billy looks like S1 Billy's Stefan Urquelle. Now that diamond. I have not idea what to make of it. We got two sets of pictures and I don't think either are renders. Diamond is correct in one set and skinny in the other. I don't even know if I could trust a picture of an actual figure at a trade show. |

1. I need a Power Axe in my life.
2. I knew they were just gonna reuse the same male body for Billy they have been, but I would've loved it if they'd make him just slightly less muscular than all the other Rangers to reflect how Billy was(at first) the least experienced fighter of the team. I too with the Lance were longer. 3. Glad Zeo Gold is coming with the Trey head, but still sucks this one is missing paint apps. Sadly though this makes me think that when we finally get a default MMPR Black release it's gonna be Adam and not Zack. But then again Red was Jason again so who knows. |

Oh wow, that Billy likeness is really good. Almost on par with Trini.
Makes it sadder that they sorta dropped the ball on Kimberly and Zack. And I guess Zeo Gold now being Trey of Triforia means I'm getting him too lol

Lightning Collection Dragon Dagger. Nice for those who missed out on the Legacy version (Like me).

Huge mistake with that Dragon Dagger. It looks plasticy, ugly stock photo of green ranger standing there awkwardly on box art. And I hate packaging designs with a thin cardboard top sticking out from the rest of the box, because you know it’s going to be bent back and ruined at retail or in shipping or handling - unless it’s just a cover flap. Bandai’s Legacy version with die cast is unbeatable. How is this one any better? Is it meant to look like the original 90’s one and draw from nostalgia? It has to cost less than Legacy. $49.99? I’m not sure you could justify more than that for this. It seems like it should be a cheaper version for kids or casual fans who couldn’t get or didn't want to pay the cost of the Legacy Dagger, but I don’t know how many of those there are out there that the creation of this was justified. And why in the Lightning Collection then? I can only think dollars could have been better spent in some other way.
