The black 'arrow' above the visor shouldn't be reaching down that far. Strangely, it's a mistake that's not just on the toy; but on the packaging artwork as well.
Still, not something I would have noticed had I not been looking. Once again another issue in the ongoing saga of "Lightning Collection Figure Has A Minor Inaccuracy That Shouldn't Be There But It's Fine Honestly".

honestly it just kinda looks off when looking at it, the "balance" of the helmet is thrown off, i guess?
kinda hope it gets fixed, im not usually one to complain about details like this tho |

Wow if that black down to the visor really that unsettling for you guys. I really didn't notice and I find it more balanced then the original.
This isn't going to be fixed, that's the final product. Though I will say it would be a problem for the others because they have more black bits. |

I did notice it, but I really don't think it's as bad as a mistake as DC Gold's' unpainted neck and hands. Should it be fixed? Yes, but I don't think it ruins the entire thing.

My main issues are still that they don't come with as much accessories as they could, and the occasional thing like BM Red looking off proportionally. Otherwise all this stuff people have gone about like Shadow Ranger's paint QC issues and now this visor thing are things that should rightfully be criticised, but just not hugely impactful to me. Heck, I kind of agree with Neo here; this version of the design actually might look a little better!

When it comes to accessories. At $20 there is going to be a limit. The Legends line is the best comparison and they don't come with a lot.
Power Rangers is tricky because some characters/teams have a ton of accessories. A line needs to be drawn and everyone desires different things. Someone people say to would pay a higher price for accessories and quality but then that's going to impact people with a set price range. I know some people don't want to hear the budget excuse but it's real. If you can't support it, don't buy the figure. Don't reward Hasbro. We have social media, get you Instagram, Twitter, YT and point this stuff out. On the Hasbro Pulse website, leave reviews. Also when you have a chance look up how they apply paint in factories overseas. You may get an idea at how these products are made. Now if the lack of a line really bothers you and you are willing to customize it. Mask off the visor and a portion of the V. Dab away the black paint with rubbing alcohol. You could do the same thing to the FS helmet if you really hate that silver. I certainly want accuracy but the lack of a 1mm to 2mm line is not going to ruin my day. |

IMO in terms of accessories, like I said, I'd be willing to axe the unhelmeted heads and even the effect parts if it meant everyone gets either an additional set of hands or an extra weapon.
Heck, if that's not a compromise then I'd rather each Ranger get their Signature Weapon over their side-arms(assuming we can't ever have both). I'm also glad they're starting to sell hands in full out pairs rather than 1 pair and then 2 different ones. Annoys me that DS-Zack came with that karate chop hand instead of two fists. |

I really like the heads though with these life like ones, sometimes the eyes are uncanny valley. I think the human heads add a lot of character to the line.
I think the effect parts though are more "We don't have the budget for hands but for these quick molds with cheap plastic". Though I would need to see how much they cost production wise. Those I would nix. Two gripping hands is a must. The others should alternate. It sucks if you only intend to buy one of two figures but get a whole wave and you got a LOT of hands. I got plenty of closed fists from the others. Though what possessed them to not give Fighting Spirit Green two gripping hands is beyond me. Like he has two accessories he can hold. Psycho Red had two gripping hands and he only has the one sword! |

Yeah, I of course understand they can't give us more accessories than what they do; so my only realistic criticism in terms of those is that I'd rather we traded the head for something. More hands, another weapon, anything would be better to me imo. I respect how well they're doing the heads but they're just not very appealing to me.
