Power Rangers Lightning Collection - Make-a-Wave!
So, let's say Hasbro approaches you personally, for whatever reason, and asks you to plan their next wave of Lightning Collection figures. You're allowed to pick any character from Power Rangers history, but they want you to stick to the format of:
1) 4 figures - retailers get salty otherwise. They will let you do one twin-pack exclusive, though, so 6 in total. 2) Two max from the same season, for reasons only known to Hasbro. 3) Only one villain per wave, plus one in the twin-pack. Villain molds are expensive, ya know? You can include whatever accessories you want, but unnmorphed heads are the default unless you're Magna Defender, for whatever reason. |

2) RPM Red. It's the best season and you need a Red in every wave. Plus Jessica Jones can have her Malcolm. 3) Ninja Storm Green Samurai. You need a 6th ranger in the wave, Cam's my second favorite ranger, and the 2 forms could be an interesting gimmick with swappable parts 4) MMPR Movie Pink. You need the MMPR representation, I love the original movie suits, and it's a second chance at a better AJJ likeness. Two-Pack) Lost Galaxy Pink Marine and Darkonda. Darkonda was one of my favorite villains and while Karone might not have been a ranger when he was around, it makes as much sense as Psycho Red and Leo |
1.) Blue Samurai Ranger
Accessories: -Samuraizer -Spin Sword -Hydro Bow -Small Dragon FoldingZord in symbol mode (I don't think Hasbro's gonna splurge for a dragon mode) -Blue energy effect to cover Spin Sword -Unmorphed head 2.) Yellow Dino Ranger Accessories: -Thundermax Blaster (judging MMPR Pink's accessories, Hasbro is satisfied leaving Rangers with one gun and one melee weapon, so no sword mode) -Ptera Grips -Ptera Grip slashing effect -Unmorphed head 3.) White Dino Ranger Accessories: -Drago Sword -Energy effect for Drago Sword -Unmorphed head 4.) Villain: Koragg the Night Wolf Accessories: -purple Wolf Morpher -Knight Saber -Wolf Shield (has an extendable gimmick to reveal a painted Eye of the Master) -purple slash effect -two unmorphed heads: one for Leanbow and one for Nick Two-pack: White Mystic Ranger and Wolf Warrior (Wolf Warrior is a repaint of Koragg, so, you're welcome Hasbro) Accessories: White Mystic Ranger: -Snow Wand -Snow Staff -Unmorphed head -Energy effect with sculpted snowflakes; compatible with both Snow Wand and Snow Staff Red Wolf Warrior: Accessories: -red Wolf Morpher -red Knight Saber -red Wolf Shield (has an extendable gimmick to reveal a painted Eye of the Master) -Red fire effect -Unmorphed head For both: Printed magic circle |
May as well engage iin some nepotism and take part in my own thread.
1) In Space Red Accessories: Spiral Sabre Astro Blaster Drill effect part Unmorphed Andros head One of the best boys, plus I love that Spiral Sabre, and it gives the Psycho Rangers another adversary. 2) Crimson Thunder Ranger Accessories: Thunder Staff Crimson Blaster Blasting parts Unmorpher Hunter head Thunder Rangers have top designs, and figuarts are expensive. 3) SPD Green Accessories: Delta Morpher Delta Max Striker Blast effect Unmorphed Bridge head A more niche choice, but it's Bridge, and Bridge is cool. I was considering Omega Ranger, but as a Sixth, I figure he'd get released anyway. Bridge, on the other hand, is a green in a sea of greens. 4) Dino Charge Violet Accessories: Dino Charge Morpher Dino Blade Sword slash effect Unmorphed Kendall head I'm was split between this and JF Wolf, for that purple goodness, and my business brain kicked in and reminded me you can re-use parts from DC Red, plus female rep is good rep. Even if she'd be the one per case. Two-Pack: Battle of the Moon [B]Wild Force Silver[/B Accessories: Lunar Caller Lunar Cue Pool effect Unmorpher Merrick head Zen-Aku Crescent Blade Flute Knife Wolf mask I'm a filthy Gen-Zillenial, I'm allowed to have a nostalgia boxset with some good designs. |
1) Turbo Red
Accessories- Unmorphed TJ head Lightning Sword Auto Blaster Sword effect piece Turbo is probably nostalgic enough for impulse buyers, plus, TJ needs some love! I was tempted to say In Space blue for the same reason but, c’mon, the first black leader of the power Rangers deserves to wear Red more often. 2) Jungle Fury Wolf Ranger Accessories- Unmorphed RJ head Ki blast effect Jungle Fury is a series I really enjoyed, and getting our first purple ranger would be really dang cool. 3) Mystic Force Pink Accessories- Unmorphed V head Staff Morpher Spell effects? V’s probably my favorite pink ever, honestly. Girl’s got a great aesthetic, and I am very gay. 4) A-squad Red Ranger Accessories- Unmorphed Charlie head Blaster Blaster effect part? Despite not doing much at all in the show itself I always loved the concept of the A-squad. A team of rangers going bad? Heck yeah, the fact that it gives us some more female rep is just a bonus. Two pack) Time Force Pink vs Ransik Pink- Unmorphed Jen head Time force badge Chrono saber Vector blaster Ransik- Bone sword Maskless head “Purified” head Jen and Ransik are two of my favorite PR characters period, and packaging them together is an obvious choice. |
Wild Force Megazord, Kongazord, Isis Megazord, and Predazord and an Animus/WFM+Elephant weapons 2 pack.
WFM, Konga, Pred and Isis have been designed to have inter changeable arms, and all but the Predazord (for obvious reasons) have interchangeable hips. This allows you to effectively have all possible Mecha combinations. Also the 2pack is a Pulse exclusive because Animus and the Elephant seem eclectic enough for it. |
Alright, so, yeah. Some of these aren’t all the most likely characters to receive releases anytime soon. But this is my fantasy, so... let me have it. :lol
1. Geki Violet/Jungle Fury Wolf Ranger - Doesn’t get cooler than a purple Muay Thai Werewolf 2. Gokai Yellow/Super Megaforce Yellow Ranger - Gokai Yellow is the coolest lady Ranger, period. Plus, I think Gia is pretty popular with fans? Seems like one of the likelier female figure releases TBH. 3. Abare Black/Dino Force Black Ranger - I’ve actually never watched more than a handful of eps from either Abaranger or Dino Force, but... it’s an all-time badass costume, and I guess you gotta have a Tommy 4. Shironinger/Ninja Steel White Ranger - Yeah, this is a “in your dreams” wildcard, but the Shironinger costume is possibly the most well designed, balanced, and badass lady Ranger suit ever. I need a good quality plastic representation of this, stat! Two Pack: Ninja White/White Alien Ranger & Ninjaman/Ninjor - Seems unlikely Ninja White would ever get her own release, so maybe pairing her with Ninjor would get her out in the world. |
LET'S DO THIS
1. Jungle Fury Wolf Ranger Accessories: Special stand (For his Muay Thai stances), purple wave effect part (To simulate his Gon-Gon Ken (Don't know the English name for the attack), unmorphed head. 2. Quantum Ranger Accessories: Quantum Defender (Sword mode), Quantum Defender (Gun mode), Time Badge, additional saluting hand, unmorphed head 3. Rito Revolto Accessories: Sword, guitar, additional hands for guitar 4. Red Alien Ranger Accessories: Kakuremaru, Blaster, Ninja scroll, alternate hands Two Pack: Lion vs Lion Jungle Fury Black Lion Warrior vs Megaforce Robo Knight Accessories (JF): Effects part (Purple ki blast), alternate hands, unmorphed head. (MF): Robo Blaster, Robo Blade, Robo Morpher, Vulcan cannon, alternate head (Black visor, for dark Robo Knight), alternate chest cover (To cover the green lion eyes on chest for dark Robo Knight) |

Red - Scott (similar to AgentOrange's selection) - Unmorphed Head of Actor - Street Saber - Nitro Blaster - Wheel Blaster OR Rail Blaster/Nitro Blaster Combo (couldn't decide which one; either would work) w/effects piece! 4): Mighty Morphin Scorpina (human version) - Screen accurate head of Ami Kawai (one who portrayed Lami in Zyuranger) - Boomerang w/effects piece - Mirror of Destruction (closed unless it can be made to open; from "The Rockstar") - Handheld Weaveworm (Pet Worm from "A Star is Born") 5): Two-Pack - "Rise of the Phantom" Turbo's Phantom Ranger and General Havoc - Phantom Laser (used when leading Rangers to Rescuezords) - Turbo Navigator in blaster mode (Legacy Wars and the old Turbo toyline depicted Phantom with one) w/effects piece - Havoc's riding crop - Handheld Power Ruby - Little Tea Cup (Havoc was seen with one in "The Darkest Day") |

I didn’t know how much I needed a Gashadokuro figure till now. |
1. SPD Green
SPD is my second favorite season and Bridge is my favorite Green Ranger. They could also do a retail exclusive Dragon Shield version if they wanted to do something easy to tie-in with the comics. 2. Hyper Force Blue If the comics can get figures, then there's no reason Hyper Force can't. Eddie ended up becoming my favorite Blue Ranger thanks to his character arc, and I'd love to see what the Hyper Force arsenal actually looks like in canon. 3. Lightspeed Rescue Titanium The first US original Ranger definitely deserves his own figure, and you gotta have a sixth Ranger for each wave, right? 4. Operation Overdrive Red Every wave needs a Red, and everyone can just pretend it's Bouken Red if they hate PROO. Plus, I'm going somewhere with this, check it out: Retail Exclusive: Defender Vest MMPR Black We got the power-up that was exclusive to Zack, so why not one of the ones exclusive to Adam? It could alternatively be the Metallic Armor Black or Defender Vest PROO Red to save on money. Two-Pack: Clash of the Red Rangers Based off the "movie" it'd be Super Samurai Red and Shark Attack RPM Red. More Super Mode figures are always nice. |

And you have no idea how fast I'd grab a Lightning Collection Rito/Gashadokuro figure. Easily one of my favorite monster designs in Sentai |
So here would be my ideal wave
Number 4 Jungle Fury Violet Ranger: RJ is one of my favorite mentor characters and the wolf ranger suit is awesomely over designed. Accessories are pretty simple head spare set of hands but he multiple effects parts covering elbows and knees Number 3 Turbo Phantom Ranger: A cool mysterious ranger who was responsible for some of the best story lines in power rangers. Accessories would be his pistol and an alternate invisible arm. Number 2 Mystic Force Green/Pink/Yellow ranger: Mystic force has some of my favorite designs and it was hard to pick just one for this wave so I cheated these three are just the coolest on the team. Accessories are there magistick weapon and the mystic morpher Number 1 Lightspeed Red Ranger: Carter is just plain awesome, he's a straightforward man of action, I can also see them selling him as part of a special vehicle pack with his battlizer if the lightning collection proves to be successful, (similar to marvel legends rider packs) Accessories: the rescue blaster, rescue bird. Two pack Red Space Ranger and Astronema this would be the perfect two pack Astronema would have her staff and an alternate Karone head Andros would have his spiral saber and his astro blaster. Additionally his would be wearing the Battlerizer |
Hmmm...So many decisions...
1: Ninja Storm Green Samurai Ranger Accessories: Removable Samurai Vest, Morpher, Sword and sheath, Sword effects, unmorphed (Cam) head, alternate Super Samurai Mode head 2: Mystic Force Wolf Warrior Accessories: Sword, Shield, Morpher, Sword effects, Unmorphed (Leanbow) head 3: Super Megaforce Silver Ranger Accessories: Silver Ranger Blaster, Silver Ranger Spear with interchangeable trident piece, Gold Mode Armor, Morpher with Gold Mode Ranger Key, Unmorphed (Orion) head, Gold Mode head 4: Cyborg Ecliptor (Power Rangers In Space) Accessories: Sword, Sword effects 2-Pack: Time Force Red Ranger & Ransik Accessories (Time Force Red): Chrono Sabers, Time Force Badge, Electro Booster, Unmorphed (Wes) head, Damaged Ranger Helmet with Wes’ face visible Accessories (Ransik): Bone Sword, Handcuffs, Case of Venomark Antidote, effects parts. |

After watching MMPR Season 3 on Facebook I decided to make a change to my selections:
Put Cyborg Ecliptor in a 2-Pack with In Space Red Ranger (Andros), and give the individual villain release in that wave to none other than Master Vile (Daimaou) himself. |
1. Ace/ Supersonic Red Ranger (FiveRed)
Yeah. I know. Of all of the Reds, this is probably the least likely to get a figure. But come on. A 6" scale figure of a pre-Zyu Ranger that never got a figuart? Take my money. Accessories would be a civilian Ace head, along with his sword and blaster, with an effects piece for the sword. 2. Jen Scotts/ Time Force Pink For this line, one of the most popular Pink Rangers would definitely be a given. Her accessories would include her civilian head, her badge, her Chrono Blaster, and her Chrono Sabers. (I believe that her Vortex Blaster would be too big of a piece to keep the figure at a $22 price point) Her effects piece would (ideally) be something for her Chrono Saber finisher. 3. Ryan Mitchell/ Titanium Ranger This would be the perfect opportunity to have a figure of the first completely American made Ranger. Accessories would include a civilian head and the Titanium Laser in either both Axe and Blaster form OR with the ability to transform between the two forms. The effects piece would be for the blaster form. 4. Dillon/ RPM Ranger Black Rounding out the wave would be a fan-favorite character from one of the more beloved seasons. Dillon's accessories would include his civilian head, his Nitro Blaster/ Nitro Sword (preferably two separate parts), and his Rocket Blaster w/ effect part. Two-pack: Heckyl/ Dino Charge Dark Ranger and Snide The two pack would be the perfect opportunity to release a figure that many fans have been wanting (the Deathryuger suit), so why not have the Rangers' villainous counterpart as well? Heckyl's accessories would include his civilian head, morpher, and Boomerang Sword w/ effects piece, while Snide would include his sword w/ effects piece. |
1. Zeo Red Tommy
2. In Space Silver Zhane 3. Dino Charge Purple Kendall 4. Rita Repulsa Rita is by far my biggest want, and I really hope they stay away from soft goods. |

Either way, damn good choices. I kinda want In Space to get another shot even though I've never seen it or Megaranger; I love the designs and I feel so bad that they've only gotten figures in Legacy so far... |

1) Lost Galaxy Pink - Kendrix
2) Dino Charge Black 3) Alpha 5 4) Supersonic Red Two pack: Lost Galaxy Pink - Karone/Astronema |
Well I personally am tired of so many Zordon-era figures taking up waves. So I'm gonna mix things up a bit:
RPM Gold -Sky Morpher -Cloud Hatchet -Skyshift Blazer -Gold Flame Effect Lost Galaxy Pink -Quasar Saber -Beta Bow -Quasar Launcher -Pink Burst Effect Ninja Storm Blue -Ninja Sword -Laser Blaster -Sonic Fin -Blue Wave Effect Fury -Seven Branched Sword -Fur Collar -Medieval Sword -Orange Lightning Effect Time Force Red vs Ransik -Time Force Red has Quantum Morpher molded on his arm -Quantum Defender -Electro Booster -Ransik has alternate fugly head (you know the one) -Dagger -White Slash Effect And of course additional hands & headsculpts are implied, didn't wanna type the same thing over & over. ^^; |
Hi all, I’ve been sleeping on these figures apparently, aside from the head swap feature and the extra hands/weapons, are the sculpts radically different from, say the MF/SMF/DC versions of the Rangers?
|
Yes, they are very different. Far more articulated too.

Hm, seems there hasn't been much activity here in a minute. Let's change that.
Also I don't really have the time/am feeling too tired/am actually to lazy to add what accessories I'd want. ^^; My Dream Wave Lightspeed Rescue Red Turbo Pink Mystic Force White Operation Overdrive Mercury 2-Pack Heckyl & Dino Charge Dark Ranger Anything else you guys wanna see? |
Oh, I just found out this thread existed. This be fun. Watch.
1) Mystic Force Blue 2) Mystic Force Yellow 3) Ninja Storm Red 4) Dino Thunder Black 5) Koragg Two-Pack: Ninja Storm Gouraigers Two-Pack: Samurai Red (with Super mode) and Fuwa Juzo Well, basically that's just everyone I want lol. |

Gouraiger 7k yen and sold out on Manda I-I'll probably get Wind Ranger at some point, I guess. Edit: Also, I'm deathly afraid of sentai SHFs since I see horror stories of hip joint breaks a lot of the time. https://i.ytimg.com/vi/U9GIVyDBwKU/hqdefault.jpg |
1.) Jungle Fury Red
2.) Ninja Storm Green Samurai 3.) Beast Morphers Silver 4.) Mystic Force Pink 5.) Mesogog Two Pack: Cyborg Fearcats Benglo and Mig |
Well since we've just seen a couple new two-packs this past weekend I wanna know:
What kind of 2-Packs/Box Sets would you guys wanna see? I know they were just kinda slapped on to the Make-A-Wave idea at the end of a post, but maybe they'll be easier for people to think up instead of a whole wave. I can think of a few. Two-Packs Mercury Ranger & Tyzonn's monster form (forgot if it even had a name ^^; ) Wolf Warrior & White Mystic Ranger Solaris Knight & Jenji Ninja Storm Green Samurai Ranger (either standard or Super Samurai Mode) & Lothor Quantum Ranger & Eric Myers as captain of the Silver Guardians Red Super Samurai Ranger & Red RPM Ranger Shark Attack Mode RPM Green & Doctor K Three-Packs Jungle Fury Spirit Rangers Bat, Shark & Elephant |
In my opinion, if it comes down to 2-packs; there's only two particular things I can think of...
- 2 rangers from the same team, except Reds and Sixths/Extras If they really must relegate normal members of a team to 2-packs outside the main waves, I'd prefer it be done this way. Chances are if you want, say, GingaYellow you probably want Green as well and this could make it easier and quicker to get some less popular teams completed. SHF employed this method when they were doing Sentai and it was fine there. Exception to this is Reds and Sixths/extras because there will be a lot more people who want them on their own, and are by far the most popular that they just make sense to put in the main waves - Super Modes This is where it could get really interesting for me. Because they're probably not gonna do super modes in the main waves, but in 2-packs and exclusives? A perfect place to do them. Like, Powered Custom Red Buster vs Enter or Triassic DT Red vs Mesogog. I think this'd be a perfect way to do VS packs while not making people who, you know, just want to complete the team miss out |
How about what figures I do want in the next wave are.
1.yellow mystic ranger. 2.blue wind ranger. 3.red samurai ranger. 4.finster Also a squa and baboo 2 pack. Gamestop exclusive masked rider. |
So what are some figures you guys really want but don't think they'll ever make? Like something so niche you think it has no chance at all.
For me it'd be the gender-swapped version of suits used in Super Megaforce. Male Mystic Force Blue & Ninja Storm Blue, Female Red Jungle Fury, Lost Galaxy & Mystic Force, pretty much all Yellow suits made with skirts in the First Saban Era. It would be awesome to see, but most likely never, ever happen. |
I could see them doing MMPR Yellow with the skirt. In fact I could very easily see that being the first SMF release :lol
|
I want to say, like, a 2-pack of the SPD Kat Ranger (which, honestly, not too unlikely) and SPD Orange Ranger, but like, someone on the dev team seems to love SPD? So I can see it happening eventually?
In which case, Zen-Aku please. Edit: Oh, also, for some really deep pick, the RPM Paleomax Rangers. https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca88...rEFDLqKMPiaVhU |
