I agree. Yes, we've had some screw ups lately, but they by no means ruin the entire line. We've had plenty of great figures, even recently: Ranger Slayer is a fantastic figure! Heck, despite 3 of the the 4 figures in the new Wave being remolds, I'd say they're making up for it by giving us more accessories than what we normally get.

And that's not even getting into the many, many, many great figures this line has had so far. The entirety of Wave 1, Blaze, Drakkon, etc. Could the figures improve, especially given the recent G.I. Joe line? Absolutely, but they aren't by any means terrible or ruined. Atleast not as of yet.

Can't say for others, but considering that I live in a different country with different currencies, these figures costs about 100 bucks, usually they sell it for 120 bucks at cheapest. If the figure is good I'll buy it again, but for now, I'm holding off for a while. Let's hope Dino Fury's figures will look good.

Which based on the fact his release in wave 6 was highly inaccurate, and so far the rest of the wave looks better than the leaked images show, we can most likely surmise the green ranger shown is an unfinished proto, or probably a custom made to throw us off, it's not like there's no precedent for that.

For me, the problem is I'm really not that into Power Rangers in the first place. I loved it as a kid, but there's large portions of the franchise I never even watched. I was mainly collecting the line because the figures looked good on display, but some things have happened in real life where I'm having to put my PR collection in storage, and at that point I'm no longer getting anything out of the figures

Basically, if we let something as "minor" as the diamond not being on the Green Ranger body slide, it will just become an open door where they can "omit" some stuff like the black paint on DT White and it will be even worse.
We mustn't let that slide.

Why would you settle for something worse than previous offerings?
What is this mentality to say " Oh there is this and that missing, ooooh no problem"?

If we had better, we can ask for better. We shouldn't settle for less than what we can have.

I'm not saying to let it slide -- I straight up said that I don't think there's an excuse for it, especially given FS Green has that detail; and that it is undeniably a step down in quality given that direct comparison. I just said that I don't see how it's the worst thing ever or anything even approaching DT White.

My mentality isn't "this is no problem", my mentality is "these things missing are a problem, but that drops it from a 9/10 to a 7/10 rather than straight down to 0". There's, like, opinions and viewpoints between endless praise and boycott-justifying criticism.

I just don't see MMPR Green's white diamonds missing as much worse than Zeo Blue, DC Gold or Shadow Ranger, and the fact that both the last wave and what we've seen of this one shows consistent if not greater quality in figures like Zeo Red and In Space Yellow perhaps indicates that there's possibilities beyond "a leaked figure which turned out to not even be in the wave missing one minor detail shows that this line is on a slippery slope to unbearably bad figures". I just think it's an overreaction when we've had missing details since Wave 1, the figures still look as amazing as the likes of Lord Zedd, and the only significantly worse figures like DT White have been widely criticised by the community. This is a 20$ line aimed at a niche community. Temper your expectations.

Idk Kurona, this is the internet, nuance is dead and we sit on its corpse.

Is there a list of Amazon-exclusive LC figures? Is it just Omega Ranger, Psycho 5-pack and Drakkon V3 right now?

Side note, almost completely unrelated; what Transformers Generations figures in the past few lines have been Amazon-exclusive all in all?

Just the first two. It's more likely that Drakkon EVO III is going to be a Hasbro Pulse Exclusive, but we'll have to see come September.

The differences between this Zedd and the Wave 1 Zedd:

• The fingernails and plates on the backs of the fingers are painted.
• There's red detailing on the Growth Bomb.
• The lightning effect is purple instead of red. It's also shaped differently, so I'm assuming it's actually meant for Rita and not Zedd.
• The old Zedd seems to be very slightly taller? For some reason?

While I do wish they had put some silver drybrush on his staff, I'm still happy with the updates this version of Zedd did get. And I will say, if you only ever get one figure from the Lightning Collection, whether it be the original release for this slightly updated one, make it Lord Zedd. I feel he is by far the most well done. Great, unique sculpt work(especially for Hasbro), clean paint, fantastic articulation for his design, and having an evil Flesh Mummy will definitely stand out in a collection. Zack might be my favorite PR character, but I won't deny, no figure has come close to Zedd yet, objectively speaking.

As for Rita...

Yeah that face is the stuff of nightmares. Other than that though, I think she's well done! Lots of nice detailing on her outfit and accessories, and the cloth clothing makes posing her barely a problem. I recommend pulling back her sleeves your first time posing her though, because out of the box her forearms were twisted backwards. Really hope that they let her keep the cloth clothes whenever she gets a standard release, but we'll see I guess.
