Wave 5 isn't super exciting to me. I might get Time Force Red?

I like him. The thing about the Legacy Zeo line is that's when Bandai started getting cheap. They removed articulation and the lack of gold paint on the bands.

The discoloration between the torso and limbs is less apparent. Darker colors not surprising.

The blaster is pretty tiny. It's supposed to be a long barrel but this thing sorta is shortened. That's one advantage the Legacy blaster has over it.

If anyone was wondering. Unlike the MMPR blade holsters, the Zeo Pod from the Legacy line doesn't really fit. I think you could get it in there after applying a little heat but it's going to permanently warp that hole and could risk a tear.

The only big paint errors I've noticed so far with the batch I got is my SPD Red's neck isn't painted to the collar. I'll be redoing that plus giving him the silver collar.

Images of the next Lightning Collection wave leaked briefly on Walmart's website.

Kiiiinda regretting not getting the SDCC Zeo Gold now... I was expecting and totally fine with dropping some accessories like the second staff or even having a different civilian head.

But he also looks to not have the gold painted and that's a huge let down. :( If it is (all I've seen is a pretty small screenshot and it's just one image, so it's of course hard to be sure), it's definitely not as vibrant. I dunno..

Edit: Alright, probably would help to get some images in here heh.

So.. yeah. Especially comparing it to Zeo Blue (thanks for that convenient timing Designingincase lol), the gold on this release of Zeo Gold just doesn't look great to me. Pretty let down.

I really like the look of all of these! Loving Ranger Slayer

Cool to see that TF Red comes with both his double vectors; though I imagine those are the only weapons they'll have

Sucks that they're removing paint apps on Zeo Gold. Ranger Slayers looks pretty good at a first glance though so I'm happy about that.

TF Red is definitely the highlight of this wave for me.

Only one I might skip is Zeo Gold since I already have him.

I want Zeo Gold and Ranger Slayer!

They all look pretty great to me. I think Zeo Gold still looks fine. Very excited for Time Force Red and Ranger Slayer especially

I don't know why, but even though we have seen the same body several times, Blue MMPR looks particularly good. I doubt we will see this, but I hope he comes with a second Power Lances that is together.

Ranger Slayer is neat. I am not totally familiar with the comics, but I am aware of this character and she will look good with Drakkon. I am interested to see the head they went with as they nailed the Drakkon likeness.

Time Force Red looks good. I doubt he will have his vector weapon, but at least they did the chrono saber that hopefully comes apart. The question is, will they give all of the time force rangers the same sabers or change the mold to change the tip as it was in the show.

Zeo Gold... I already have the SDCC version so this may be the first figure I skip unless there is a compelling reason to buy it. MAYBE if they give him a Trey head or good Jason head.... maybe... but probably not. Or maybe a small Auric tikki and key...

Anyway, I am happy with this wave. The only reason I am cold on Zeo Gold is because I own him, otherwise I would be very happy to buy him.

I like what I see... but... WHERE ARE THE BLOODY MONSTERS?!?!
Seriously, this collection is getting boring with all these rangers and no monsters. I really hope we see some monsters on display at Toy Fair. I am sure there are people that would collect Power Ranger monster figures even if they don't collect the rangers just because they would look interesting.

His "gold' is exactly like any of the Dragon shield rangers released so far.
I was wondering if they didn't want to paint a flexible material in metallic gold because it would wrinkle badly.

Drakkon has a molded vibrant gold but his shield is thicker and doesn't flex much.

It's not the butterscotch debacle but a metallic gold is hard to beat.

Though my pic is post processed so the shine comes out more.
