Weird that we're getting the Psychos before any In Space rangers.

And yeah, it's looking like they're really trying to round out the Psycho Rangers and I couldn't be happier. Psycho Black is probably inevitable at this point. Hoping they don't pull a BoA and we actually get the girls, too.

It sorta makes sense. They're the most iconic villains in the franchise after Zedd, Rita and Goldar.

I could see Yellow and Pink because all the Psychos are just recolours, and if they're this committed already I think we'll see all five (six? seven?) before 2020 ends. Same for the Beast Morphers, actually.

You know I totally get that female figures don't sell well; which makes sense why toy makers and retailers would get cold feet. What I don't get though is why not pair them with popular figures? MMPR Pink should be paired with MMPR Green instead of the later paired with a putty. I have a feeling that's what Hasbro did with Lost Galaxy Red as they probably think it wouldn't sell as well alone as it would paired with Psycho Red. If they want these figures to sell they have to come up with a pairing/accessory that makes it necessary to buy the girls to have one or two of the guys/villain/combining weapons in order to have a complete set. It's unfortunate that's the type of society we live in but companies looking to make money have to consider the market. Not just the niche collectors that want all rangers and villains and would be willing to buy the female rangers separately.

Well that's certainly a little disappointing. This definitely looks like one of those figures where it's a case of the quality being directly proportional to how well you can pose; if you get her in a good pose she looks amazing, but other poses show off significant flaws all too well. I'm especially put off by how the upper torso articulation has far too big a gap; other figures have a lot more lower torso inside the upper to avoid that issue.
I think this is also where Lightning Collection's staunch dedication to providing only one extra pair of hands is really starting to show its downsides. It was excusable before when you only needed one holding hand each and the other two could be fists or whatever; but with an archer character there's specific needs with what types of hands they need, and it's clear that they done it in half-measure to accommodate both the bow and the gun while also not putting as much thought into the arrow-holding hand as they needed. It certainly doesn't help matters that for some reason they continue to include a useless pointless 'chop' hand which has extremely limited posing potential and is in place of a hand which could have been useful for the bow and arrow. This is not only a massive step-up from Legacy as always, but also impressively able to stand alongside the Figuarts in terms of quality; but there are some very significant flaws here that I'm not happy to see. A bit more thought into the figure would have gone a long way here. I'm still getting this figure and it's still one of the figures I most want from the line so far, but I'm certainly a lot less excited than I was from stock photos. |

The Lightning Collection figures are decent for what they are, but as far as quality goes, they are a far cry from Figuarts. |

And yet I probably wouldn't be able to tell you the difference between a cheeseburger and a beef wellington
Looking at them side by side I still think the Lightning Collection figure looks pretty impressive. As the reviewer said it'd be easy to mistake one for the other if you didn't know the exact details off by heart. |
