So what would be like y'all's Top 3 Most Desired LC Figures? I think for me it'd be these:

Ninja Storm Green - Really curious if they'd incorporate the Super Mode or if they just release the Samurai Ranger as 2 individual figures

Jungle Fury White - I dig the big stupid helmet & big stupid gauntlet the Rhino Ranger has, I NEED to own this in toy form

Operation Overdrive Silver - An incredible design IMO, the Mercury Ranger always stood out to me & I hope they go all out making him shiny as hell

It’s difficult to pick out individual ones since I mostly want teams of Gokaiger and RPM. I can’t even really pick a good monster design since the best one was done in the first wave! If there’s one individual I really REALLY want... Princess Shinken Red. Easy.

I guess even if I didn’t buy it, I’d be interested in seeing a Wolzard from them since it’s one of the coolest designs in the franchise. I’d also kinda dig getting Omega Blue from the boom comics!

Everyone probably knows my Top 3 since I've said them ad nauseum, but here:

Bridge(SPD Green) - Solely because he's my favorite Green Ranger and my second favorite Power Ranger in general.

Eddie(Hyper Force Blue) - It was really awesome of them to branch out into the comics, and if Legacy Wars can include Hyper Force, then so too should the Lightning Collection. It'd be something completely unique to Hasbro's' run of the franchise too, so double points there.

Ryan(Lightspeed Rescue Titanium) - The first US-original Ranger and one of the coolest 6th Rangers to boot. Ryan might not've had alot of screen time, but he made every moment stand out. I'd just hope they don't mess up his helmet like Super Mega Force did.

And if we're talking monsters, while I'd personally love a figure of the Knasty Knight, I know that's like never gonna happen, so Ecliptor I guess. I think that'd make alot of people happy.

Phantom Ranger
Any of the American made Rangers (Titanium or any of the Jungle Fury Spirit Rangers)
Cat Ranger. (I need her to go with my Shadow Ranger.)

Titanium is one I'd love to see, alongside the Battlizer version of In-Space Red (iconic in it's own right, if you ask me!).

Although now that it was brought up, Wolzard/Koragg would also be really spectacular.

Master Vile from MMPR season 3, Cyborg Ecliptor from In Space, and Goldar Maximus from Super Beast Morphers

Off the top of my head (ie it'll probably be different if you ask me again tomorrow)

Wild Force Silver: One of my first childhood heroes, and his design is great even detached from nostalgia. Plus, his weapon is a pool cue.

Jungle Fury Purple: Gekiranger has great designs, and Jungle Fury gave it to RJ, the best mentor and highlight of the show. Plus, he's purple, and a wolf.

Lightspeed Titanium - PR original, great design, cool backstory, he's just an important bit of history, ya know?

Honourary Mention - Dino Charge Violet, if only because there seems a reasonable chance of it being made within a lifetime.

Ninjor and Gunmazin. And other Power Ranger allies.

Hm, now that's an interesting idea.

Are there any other Battlizers you guys think you'd want from the line? Personally I gotta say the Samurai one since it'd be such an easy repaint/slight remold to do to eventually get all the Rangers out of.

Also, now that I bring up Samurai, would they ever attempt the cockpit modes for the Neo Saban era? I honestly wouldn't be mad about that.

Side note I 1000% agree on Koragg/Wolzard. That design is so beautiful, I hope it gets done in both violet & red.

I definitely wouldn’t mind getting Super Shinken Red! Maybe a 2-pack of em?

While I don't think I'd personally buy any Battlizer figures, since none of my favorite characters ever got any, I would love for them to exist eventually. Ones I could see most definitely happening are the Dino Charge Battlizer(as they already have the DC Red base body to work with) and SMF Silver's' Gold Mode(as it's incredibly iconic as well as being rletively more simple than other Battlizers). That said, I feel like any sort of Battlizer figure would have to be sold at a higher price point, considering there'd be alot more sculpt and especially paint work that'd need to be involved.

Now Super Mode figures? Oh yeah, I'd definitely get a handful of those. SWAT Mode from SPD, for example, is actually looking more and more plausible as time goes on, especially with the recent GI Joe line.

Well power-ups like that I think are definitely likely down the line. I can imagine stuff like Legend Mode for Mystic Force or Swat Mode for SPD very easily.

But I'm talking more along the lines of Samurai Shogun Mode, Lightspeed Rescue Trans-Armor Cycle, Quantum Ranger Mega Battle, etc. Those I think would be interesting but I feel like they'd be off-putting in Hasbro's eyes since they aren't as reusable as say Megaforce Ultra Mode or Samurai Shark Mode.

Apparently Hasbro plans to fix DT White's' helmet whenever they officially release the figure here in the US.

I’m glad they’re doing it, though I imagine it’ll make buying it online a pain (one reason I’ve kept back on getting timered). Toss-up on whether you get a good one or not...

Guess it depends on how it’s distributed, though? What’s the source on this?

Email responses from Hasbro employees, allegedly. I haven't seen anything other than a few reposts on Insta though. But considering during the first Fan First Friday they did for the line, they did say they acknowledge the paint issues and are working on them, I wouldn't doubt if it's legit.

Thought of another individual I’d adore. Good god give me this beautiful design

Poncho Mode Pls

I feel like you and I are the only ones who would appreciate that...

That's cause we're people of taste.

Meanwhile, a question I've had bubbling around in my head for a while. What generic rangers would people want this line to get around to? Not the reds, not the sixths/extras, just the bread-and-butter rangers that make up the majority of the forces against evil.

Inb4 Bridge.

Brid--

...

This is a good question. I’m mostly after the Lightning Collection figures because of my attachment to Sentai, not PR, in which case I’d love to see...

Gokai Yellow/Super Megaforce Yellow Ranger
Gokai Green/Super Megaforce Green Ranger
Ninja Black/Black Alien Ranger
Shironinger/Ninja Steel White Ranger (not because the character is notable, just because I love the design of that costume lol)
Oh Yellow/Yellow Zeo Ranger (don’t ask me why, but I love Oh Yellow for some bizarre reason)

Hmm. Good question. ANY of the Turbo Rangers and Alien Rangers.

Hmmm, not counting full teams?

I’d definitely spring for a Gaoeagle! Wild Force is kinda nostalgic for me and I think she’s got the coolest design of the bunch. Though, I know she’s not gonna cone with wings......

TimeForce Pink, because Jen and to go with TimeForce Red

Off topic, but if there was any character deserving of being included with a bike it has to be Blue Senturion

Interesting.

A-Squad!? They're doing the "first" batch of frigging "originally-fight-for-good-Rangers-but-who-choose-to-be-evil-and-selfish-cause-reasons"!?

Given the mixed results with the primary Beast Morphers toyline (especially with regard to the Zords), I feel as though Hasbro is banking everything on the Lightning Collection!

They’re fairly popular so I don’t see why not. Their helmets can even be completey reused from In Space. That said... I could see them just doing Red since she’s the only one who, like, had any personality. ... any lines.

My main question is, if they do the walrus dude, will we get his unhelmeted head?

The 2-Pack, should this be true, would likely be of Jack and Charlie. Jack they've already done, so just repacking him and giving him some fixed/extra paint apps would cost them almost nothing, meanwhile Charlie is the most popular of the A-Squad for a variety of reasons, so that's an easy choice. I actually don't want this Pack to include Bridge, since I personally don't have the space for an A-Squad Ranger.

I don't see why they wouldn't make one for Beevor. Cruger got an unhelmetted head, afterall.

The B in B-Squad stands for Boom, so this is how we get SPD Orange. And if it's anyone but Charlie, that's some serious confidence in SPD to sell. Does someone at the current Bandai team just really like it? Because it's getting some real love in the line.

SPD's' popularity has only grown over time, especially in terms of the writing staff for both Saban and Hasbro. There've been alot of interviews where they've noted as such. It's part of the reason why the Soul of the Dragon graphic novel, despite focusing on Tommy and JJ, took place in SPD's' timeframe.

Not that I'm complaining, considering SPD is my 2nd favorite PR season and all.

Oh, I'm not complaining, I'm just surprised it's SPD in particular!

Finally the official reveal of Dino Thunder White from the Power Rangers Twitter account, with a link to its Walgreens store page and more info on obtaining a replacement helmet: https://twitter.com/PowerRangers/sta...369504256?s=20

That is really awesome of them to offer free helmets as a replacement.

Still waiting for the eventual Green/White Ranger version

I’m hoping if it IS Jack VS Charlie, that Jack is in SPD SWAT Mode.

and this may be our first member of Wave 7.

Ooo, if that's legit that actually looks pretty good!
