New comics, new runners, new Lighting Collection reveals!

So uh… no new Lightning reveals right? Is this line officially dead? Can’t really count the shiny white Ranger as it’s just a repaint…

If it is dead that’s a damn shame—never even got to a lot of the cooler 6th Ranger suits etc that would definitely sell well as figures, PR or not, I think people would buy them if they just looked cool…

Considering that both Wild Force Blue and Dino Thunder Yellow were revealed to be a part of the next wave not long ago, the line isn't dead, no.

Between Lightning collection, the model kits, the statues, and the minifigures it’s so nice that we’re finally, finally getting some MMPR figures.

:lolol

Also is there some kind of contractual thing where nobody is allowed to get MMPR Red's helmet right?

FlameToys branches out into the Pacific Rim line.

i mean, but counting SDCC, each of Hasbro's other collector lines has had maybe 3-4 "livestream reveal" events between the announcement of those two you mentioned and now. And for the first in-person SDCC in 3 years? One reveal??? I'm just saying it certainly looks like Hasbro is considering pulling the plug... I'm not expecting the LEGENDS pace of maybe 5 figures revealed every month, but 5 figs revealed every quarter I think is a reasonable expectation if the line is still being considered viable.

I don't think there's any conclusive evidence right now, but if the line did get cancelled it wouldn't surprise me

I don't buy very many LC figures, but Hasbro will hold Pulse Con from September 30 to October 1st. So I suspect anything not announced at SDCC would be saved for Pulse
