Re: Hasbro Power Rangers Lightning Collection Line

It's like Hasbro can't ever do a team right the first time around let alone the second. Something always has to go wrong somewhere. It's bullshit. I'll still buy these remasters but how they messed up Green and Red doesn't have a white neck is just a WTF moment..

Damn, I just notice the neck on red too. How tf are they doing this? The figures already exist, they just have to slightly update them. What a joke.

Ah, you're right. Hard to tell though with the amount of dumb choices they're making with Red and Green.

The weird thing is the Green Ranger wearing a blade blaster belt technically is screen accurate for the American version for at least a few episodes, but it was a white holster like the rest of the team.

That's a weird one off though and not the type of reference I'd expect for a 'remastered' version.

Exactly, these are the kind of references you'd expect to see in a 2-pack of Red and Green, not in the definitive version of either figure.

Re: Hasbro Power Rangers Lightning Collection Line

The cynic in me says this is all intentional.

They know the hardcore fans will want the most perfect version of these popular characters.

They do multiple releases, each with slight inaccuracies and flaws... so that fans will have to buy them all, and kitbash them together.

I don't even think that's cynical, that's just how they do things. It's the same reason they released Fighting Spirit Green before standard MMPR Green. They knew people would buy him just to have a Green on their shelf, then they would buy regular Green later. You do that the other way around and way fewer people eventually buy Fighting Spirit.

Re: Hasbro Power Rangers Lightning Collection Line

After seeing this picture, I'm ok with the holster they gave the Green Ranger. Would prefer the other version but I'm ok. At least it's black.

Re: Hasbro Power Rangers Lightning Collection Line

These guys gotta decide if they're basing these off Zyuranger suits or the American PR suits. The way they keeping mixing details from both is rather annoying. Choose one or the other.(refering to above photo)
