Ongoing Lightning Collection News & Rumors Thread

Power Rangers fans deserve nothing less than this awesomeness after the catastrophe which was the "Legacy" Collection.

Great sculpts, modern articulation, good paint-jobs, well needed accessories with alternate, helmetless heads as well as effect pieces. The packaging is top notch too.

I'm really happy for you guys. I might sneak in and take a few figures whose Sentai counterparts I like but haven't received SHF's. Shadow Ranger / DekaMaster is a prime example.

I just hope these get some kind of UK release, because I'd pick up that Shadow Ranger in a heartbeat if I saw it in person.

Target.com is listing an April 21st release date for the Lightning Collection.

Oh well crap, I didn't notice it in the package at first but Doggie comes with his SPD license. That's too great.

I need to ask hasbro who does the box set because it is amazing. I am so excited for Power Rangers Beast Morphers and new merchandise.

This entire line is looking fantastic thus far. Easily one of the best things power rangers has seen in decades. Fittingly blows Legacy Collection right out of the damn water. I will be more than happy to buy any and all rangers made in this line that didn't get Figuarts. I'd be hard pressed to trade in any of my figuarts that I already have like Kyoryu Red for the DC Red LC figure, but these I think are the perfect kinds of figures to compliment what I already own. That Shadow Ranger is near perfection and will be a welcome addition to my Dekaranger display. I even think I have a fix to give him a Deka accurate head. Zedd is just glorious and a must own for me.

Aaand Zedd pre-ordered on Target. Wow I haven't bought a Power Rangers toy bar those couple Figuarts (technically then) for years, but I'm super excited about these now.

Wow, them packagings. It's like Hasbro knows people want SHFs of Power Rangers but since Sentai Figuarts doesn't sell they decided to do it themselves.

Zedd looks fantastic imo.

My goodness....finally a great Zedd.

The unmasked heads look good....need to see better closeups though. I hated the Tamashii scans...but Hasbro looks to have them beat.

It seems that the pre-order page for DC Red Ranger has been removed from Hasbro Pulse.
