Ongoing Lightning Collection News & Rumors Thread

That's fun, glad we're seeing more PR/SF stuff. Wonder who else might one, I hope Rainbow Mika : P. Might actually get Chun Li and Cammy to go with their SHFs (man I miss the Street Fighter SHFs, those were great, and they're still pretty solid).

some thoughts:
-ken's ranger form seems to be the most unoriginal
-we finally got a yellow Buster which means the go-busters trio is completed so yay
-no RPM next year?☹️

His looks like a rehashed version of Ryu's, which makes sense, considering the fact that Ken started off as a Ryu clone. So it kind of comes full circle I think.

Oh, man. Ryu and Chun-Li's designs were great but Ken and Cammy's... ouch.

OTHER news is great! Full reveal of Wave 13 is nice, as-is the hint at Wave 14 -- pretty much confirmed LG Yellow by confirming LG, SPD and DT will all be complete next year. I doubt they're including Kat but we'll see...

Kakurangers are also fantastic! Ninjawhite would be so so good to see...

Yeeaaahh something tells me they weren't designed by the same teams of people.

I've been thinking about this; when they get to Kat, would anyone mind if she's a 2-pack with Shadow Ranger? I've previously been annoyed by 2-packs including re-issues of previous figures, but I think that's mostly because it's been MMPR rangers yet again; especially when it's barging in on other teams haha. If it's fitting enough (like the Rita/Zedd 2-pack) and especially if it's re-releasing figures that are kinda hard to get now like Shadow Ranger and Timered, I think I'd be pretty down

I personally wouldn't mind, especially since non-MMPR stuff just kinda doesn't get reissued unless it's a super popular character like Zeo Gold.

That said, I think a 2-pack with Nova would be alot better off for everyone, since even by LC standards I think a Nova Ranger figure would be a rather budget release.

With R/Y/PNK2, team is complete.
