This might seem a bit mean, but... I guess to give a full view of the situation:


As it stands, Lightning Collection has 104 total figures revealed including today's reveals. Of that:-


MMPR has 38 figures (including Fighting Spirit MMPR Green)

BOOM has 5 figures (of which 4 are directly related to MMPR, with one more being In Space derived but featured in an MMPR story)

TMNT has 7 figures

Zeo has 9 figures

Turbo has 1 figure (Phantom Ranger is technically labelled In Space, but... c'mon)

In Space has 17 figures

Everything else comprises 27 figures together (once again not including FS MMPR Green as DT)


So! Some percentages based on that:-


MMPR on its own is about 36.5% or slightly over a third of the entire line

MMPR including BOOM and TMNT is 48% or almost half of the entire line

The Zordon Era as a whole (MMPR, BOOM, TMNT, Zeo, Turbo, In Space) is 74% or 3/4 of the entire line. This, of course; leaves every figure from a post-In Space season at 26% or a quarter of the line.



I'm laying these out in a purely objective manner to portray what the line sees as a priority and what we can expect from future releases. I'm not saying that this is necessarily a bad decision, or that Hasbro sucks or that it's not what the fans want; it's very much just to show what you can expect from Lightning Collection.

Also, I may as well say as a source; this checklist that is very diligently and constantly updated is what I used to quickly grab my numbers. It's very well laid out and nice to look at; and also has variations in its album that alternately orders releases by gender, colour, release method and release date. Very useful!

Finister surprisingly looks really good for his price point! I won't get him, but man, the previews make him look on point in terms of sculpt.

Amazon UK has inadvertently revealed two more Lightning Ninjas.

Tommy's 9th figure

Still surprised that Metallic White hasn't been announced yet. Guess I was wrong about my 2-Pack prediction.

2-Packs are based directly on story moments and episodes now, right? So I'm thinking if there'll be any Tommy 2-pack it'll be MMPR Green and White, based on that one MMPR episode they fought

I think they are going to hold off on any metallic white and other announcements until they get certain figures out.

It's going to be easier to sell people on metallic white if they are already five rangers in vs 0/1.

It will be easier to announce the next ninjetti rangers when people already have two (or got all those other preorders in).

You don't want preorder burnout in a situation where shipping is being unpredictable.

I wish they can do six mighty morphin power rangers the movie lightning collection figures.

You mean the “Return Of The Green Ranger” 3-parter from season 2?

think so, yeah
