If it succeeds... they get money. Hard to see a downside here but then I'm not a Toy Exec.

Yeah Haslab is exactly the place to monitor risk. Though there is still a lot of risk even using that, unless people are willing to pre-order without a prototype...

Given the recent trend of HasLabs, I want Power Rangers to stay far away from it.
The Rancor and the recent Ghost Rider car(and to a lesser extent the HISS Tank) came under alot of fire for the asking price nowhere being worth it, and given how their figures in general keep going up in price without upping the quality, I fear that all a potential PR HasLab would do would be to serve as an excuse to just not give us certain characters/mecha/whatever. Heck, let's use the current Ghost Rider HasLab for direct comparison. Let's say Hasbro put up the ZAP Astro Megaship as a HasLab project, and asked for the exact same asking price as the GR car: $350+shipping. Would that be worth it? God no. Heck, let's even add in stuff the Ghost Car has that the ZAP Ship doesn't: Some effects parts and some LEDs. Would it be worth it then? Not even close. But even despite that, let's say it gets funded anyway. All it would signal is that it's okay for Hasbro to continue ripping fans off. Meanwhile if it doesn't get funded, I fear they'd just take that as "Oh well we guess people just don't want PR mechs!" It's a really dumb situation that I'd want no part of.

I felt the same way about Haslab Star Saber. I'm not too torn up about it but I basically feel locked out of ever getting a decent Generations figure of Star Saber between both the price and the comparably short pre-order window

The only awkward one would the the Kongazord, who would be forced to include another Bison and Eagle zord, and the Elephant, who doesn't have a dedicated zord combination. Otherwise, each Wild Zord has a dedicated combination that could be sold under an entire zord set. If anything would be HasLab, it would be the giant Red Lion.

I think if they were to do WF at all, it'd just be the main mech and silver's.

That's the more likely case, yeah.
I'm just saying that WF's auxiliary mech have easy methods of getting released rather than some conga line of individual figures.

Well this took awhile, but it's not that surprising in the long run: Lightning Collection backstock is popping up at Ollie's. Pumpkin Rapper and King Sphinx, specifically.

The leaks were legit. The next wave of LC is BM Yellow, DC Blue, DF Green, and a Putrid from Wild Force.
Also ZAP Astro Megaship goes up for pre-order tonight.

Also forgot to mention that PRxSF figures for Ken and Cammy got announced, as well as figures for the Alien Rangers(Kakuranger) coming in 2023.
