That totally makes sense now. Didn't even realize he didn't have the unhelmeted head. Was wondering why they gave him the dragon shield, but yeah, I guess that totally makes sense. Not sure if the arm bands from the armor would actually stay on the female figure's arms though. Think they would be too loose.

You could always just heat up the arm bands and put them on the female body and it should stay on.

I think we do know. They're clearly trying to sell us a "Jason" Red Ranger, so its disingenuous to exclude the portrait for "reasons".

My bad, I just saw images on Hasbro Pulse of the figures. I was going off of Toku Topics info from YouTube (he said the sheild and arm guards are from Tommy, which they aren't).

Definitely weird that we aren't getting a new Jason head though (as far as it seems on Hasbro Pulse).

I'm putting it on Tommy so it doesn't matter to me if they fit the female Rangers or not.

Guessing no Jason cause of the legal troubles he is currently in.

Re: Hasbro Power Rangers Lightning Collection Line
Hasbro Pulse lists Jason as coming with a new sculpt. Maybe they just haven't finished it yet? I mean Zac didn't have his helmet on display either during the show case. Maybe they aren't done with his yet either? I don't know exactly.. but I'm trying to avoid going down the "Hasbro is greedy and cheap" path as it's the most popular and tiring one at this point. We already know Hasbro is greedy and likes to cut costs. It is what it is but Hasbro trying to cut costs by not giving us a Jason head just doesn't make any sense at all. If the reason isn't because of my above guess, my following guesses would be either Austin's legal trouble or they have something else planned for his that they're going to use as a way to get us to buy that "something else".

Re: Hasbro Power Rangers Lightning Collection Line
It feels like Hasbro is purpsely doing this to create buzz and then reveal that they are "listening to the fans" and include the shield with both red and green ranger. Also reveal the Jason head sculpt like they listened to the fans.

no such thing as bad publicty I guess.

Or they are trying to be cheap and lose more sales.

Re: Hasbro Power Rangers Lightning Collection Line
From what I have seen the Green Ranger Remastered, indeed does not come with a Dragon Shield, so they did pull a quick slicky, with the red ranger getting the shield, you gotta buy em both.

I was going to try and get that Green Ranger, since I never found the previous one, I only have the Fighting Spirit version, but Nah, not buying another red to have a complete and correct green

Do you want my Green Ranger? I'm going to put him up for sale as I pre-ordered the new red and green and don't need my original one.
