Dino Fury Gold hasn’t appeared in the show right ? Maybe they want to include that along with the rest of DF releases

MMPR and Lightning Collection
Each power rangers series has enough content for years worth of releases. But Operation Overdrive will never get the same representation as MMPR. So far all I've really seen that leans to MMPR more then others is them trying to save a buck by rereleasing figures in other channels. The metallic rangers are exclusives to pulse. They are cheap to do a smaller production run for. Folks are always trying to collect a whole MMPR team. MMPR White was probably covid issue which is why it took up a "slot" in addition to being one last go at completing the team. Tenga, Goldar, and Scorpina.....they really don't count to me. We are used to getting nth version of MMPR Red/Green. Not getting these villains or side characters. In the end you look at a chart and MMPR really doesn't have so much focus that I feel the other series don't have rep. I think some people are just noticing that Hasbro isn't introducing new teams because they are completing open ones. Space and Zeo might be completed by the end of this year. DT/BM/SPD right on the cusp. As to why we haven't seen Dinofury LC figures. Look at what happened to Beast Morphers. There are $10 figures right next to the LC line. I wonder if Hasbro though is pushing out a full Dinofury merch drop for later in the year as they were premature with Beast Morphers. Basically patience. |

When you look at the main line, there are 36 figures out of 9 waves thus far. 14 of them have been MMPR. 22 none MMPR. Of the 14, 2 were comic based, 4 were villains (Zedd, Z-Putty, Tenga, Wingless Goldar). So that is only 8 of your usual MMPR, one of which has been just a re-release so it doesn't really count.
That isn't really a lot of MMPR rangers. Sure, they were one of the first teams to get completed, but so what if they were one of the first? We are still on the verge of having multiple teams completed, including two evil ranger teams. I think Hasbro has done a bang up job and has given fans figures we would never have gotten from Bandai. Lord Zedd alone is a masterpiece. Rita is pretty spot on. Goldar is fantastic. Putties, Z-Putties, and Tengas! All this in just 2 years btw. |

A lot but not abnormal for a 3 season show. It's a number that as you got forward doesn't really show a heavy favoritism.
Including exclusives and not just waves SPD with the latest figures clocks in at 11 figures leaving the inevitable yellow at twelve. Space clocking at 12 figures. Silver and Pink remaining. Dino Thunder isn't going to have that same count just because there's only five/six rangers and no evil counterpart team so it's going to have less rep even if they brought in the main baddies. It's just the idea that Hasbro has MMPR blinders with the LC line when I don't think they've proven that. Yes it's gotten a priority but it's not a scraping of the bottom of the barrel. |

There's actually a rumor regarding another upcoming figure for those Retro-Morphin Flip-Heads (which isn't Lightning Collection, but does showcase how heavy those "MMPR Blinders" are)! https://toy-wizards.com/2021/05/20/p...p-head-ninjor/ |

I still think it's hilarious, and a bit sad, how some of our first complete teams are Evil Rangers though. Especially given the small nature of some teams.
That being said that Retro-Morphin Ninjor figure sounds absolutely lit. I always loved Ninjor and his form changing, so getting that figure sized sounds really cool. |

Wave 9 has started showing up in stores. My local Wal-Mart sadly only had Galaxy Blue and Space Black and not the other two, which I want, lol.

Omg this weeks reveal was disappointing, three figures shown off, only one is actually a new ranger, and yet again it's part of a two pack. I get what they were going for with the whole pink theme, but come on, two mmpr pink reveals, yay. I even get what they were going for with the Kat two-pack, but again, really? Another mmpr pink? I wouldn't care at all if they were all just single packs, but now if I wanna complete Zeo, then I gotta get the two pack. Honestly wish they would have just bit the bullet and started Turbo with pink in that one.
I don't really have a problem with more mmpr getting released to represent more seasons, or as second chances for anyone to finish up that team who missed the initial release, I only have issues when they get packed with previously unreleased rangers or villains, that crap sucks, and Hasbro universally doesn't have the best track record with re-releasing multipack figs as singles.
